IMO BREAKING NEWS BLOG

By Alexandra L. Ihugba

One of the leading NGOs in human capital development known as Ohams Global Initiative has once again offered a provisional scholarship to another twenty two vulnerable Imo youths who just gained admission or about to quit the citadels of learning as a result of financial constraints.

Unveiling this gladdening news, the Director General of OGI, Comrade Chiemezie G. Ozurumba (ARIRI-ERIMBA)  congratulated the beneficiaries as he charged them to make judicious use of this golden opportunity provided by this humanitarian Colossus, High-Chief Chuba Ohams (ONWA-OYOKO). He prayed God to continue to bless and take good care of him as he provides socour for the downtrodden.

About the NGO, Comr. Ozurumba enumerated some giant strides achieved by the Initiative in barely two years of her inception which did not exclude; giving scholarship to over seventy (70) Imo youths in different tertiary institutions of their choices, giving skill acquisition/financial empowerment to over fifty vulnerable youths, hospital visitations, Operation Feed the Streets, community visitation & social enlightenment, to mention but few.

The Chairman of the scholarship program and the Director For Skill Acquisition Mr. Bede Mbah & Comr. Obinwa Augusta in their respective speeches, called on all well meaning Nigerians to emulate the humanitarian lifestyle of High-Chief Chuba Ohams  instead of engaging our dearly beloved youths in political thuggery and other frivolous programs that will only benefit their political class or immediate families.

As the Governorship and House of Assembly Elections are drawing closer, Candidate of the various Political parties are consulting and meeting critical stakeholders in a bid to convince them why they are the best for the job, Hon. Ifeanyi Nwadikwa is not left out as he is doting his I's and crossing his T's.

In his reign as the Honorable Member that will represent Orsu State Constituency, he will bring onboard people oriented projects that will impact more on the rural dwellers. Currently, he is still consulting and knowing the yawning of the people.

Hon. Ifeanyi Nwadikwa is so committed in providing succor to the downtrodden in the society. The oppressed, motherless and fatherless children, widows, and other disadvantaged ones shall once again smile because they are on the plan of Hon. Nwadikwa.

He is a Technocrat that will bring to bear good ideas that will help the State Government in policy making that will turn the fortunes of the state for the better because Leadership is working with goals and vision.

He is the PDP candidate for Orsu State Constituency IMHA 2023 and he needs our vote to make it happen.

Qatari Giants, Al Sadd Sports Club will be offering Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho to the tune of £200,000 Per-Week if he agrees to join them according to a source monitoring players' transfer across Europe and Asia.

Iheanacho who regained form recently may want to leave the King Power Stadium in the summer in search of regular playing time as the Super Eagles step up preparations ahead of the AFCON 2024 tournament.

Al Sadd on the other hand would want to retain it's Qatar Super League Championship and also further push towards winning it's 2nd AFC championship; hence the need for a lucrative forward who can also double as an attacking Midfielder.

"Iheanacho if it pleases him may just be on his way to Asia in the summer," the source revealed to NPFL Updates correspondent Sunday evening.

"Al Sadd as well as Al Duhail SC is interested in the player with the first likely to win the race. A source close to the club, revealed to me that the club is willing to offer him(Iheanacho) to the tune of £200k Per-Week. That's how badly they needed him."

More than 100 corps members trained as Electoral Officers and Assistant Presiding Officers in three Local Government Areas of Imo have withdrawn their participation in Saturday’s general election.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, in Imo, Prof. Sylvia Agu disclosed this on Thursday in Owerri while speaking on the preparedness of the commission for Saturday’s election.

According to her, the corps members cited insecurity as their reason for withdrawal.

The REC said: “This morning, I received information that all the corps members we trained to work in Okigwe, Orlu and Orsu local government areas have been withdrawn.

“They say they cannot go to volatile areas that these areas are terrorist areas.

“I have called the NYSC to appeal to them but I was told that the scheme has even withdrawn all corps members serving in the three local government areas so as not to risk their lives,” Agu added.

The REC explained that the corps members withdrew their participation following the commission’s decision to revert to polling units as against the use of stadia in the volatile areas.

She said the commission had earlier faced security challenges in Okigwe, Orlu, Njaba, Orsu, Iheme/Mbano, Oru West and Oru East local government areas during the collection of the Permanent Voters’ Cards Card.

“Because of the problems, we had quite a low turn-out of Permanent Voter Cards collection in Okigwe axis and so, stakeholders in the area resolved to collapse five registration areas to Okigwe stadium.

“It worked well and was so impressive. They held another meeting and suggested that they come there to vote, but I asked them to put it in writing. I reported same to our headquarters.

“When Orlu heard what Okigwe did, they came to me but I told them to get back to their people and were equally asked to write officially which they did.

“They say they are collapsing six registration areas to the stadium in the area,” she noted.

Agu said stakeholders in Orsu also pleaded to collapse their registration areas and further suggested Internally Displaced Persons Camp following the insecurity problem in the area.

The REC said she received similar complaints of inadequate manpower from the police, who suggested that polling units should be streamlined to a particular area to ensure better security management.

The REC said the commission had forged ahead with the plan until representatives of the various political parties at a meeting held on Wednesday to finalise arrangement, kicked against it.

“They said it was unconstitutional.

“They even accused me of being in the payroll of the state governor to sabotage the election and that the said letters were fictitious,” she added.

Agu, who noted that the commission had reverted to the polling units, said it was considering the use of students for the election.

She said freshers’ training would be organised for the students who volunteer to work in the affected areas as Presiding Officers and Assistant Presiding Officers, particularly for Okigwe and Orsu.

Efforts to get the reaction of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, proved abortive as the Public Relations Officer, Ugochukwu Orunta declined comments on the matter.
