[dropcap]A[/dropcap]t last,Permanent peace has finally returned to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Aniocha North local government area of Delta state. The peace deal was sealed under the supervision of Chief Nkem Okwuofu, leader of the party in the local government area.

The peace meeting was held at her Obomkpa residence on Sunday 27th September, 2020, where all the Party leaders in the Local Government area, as well as elected and appointed office holders, including the member representing Aniocha North in the State House of Assembly, Hon. Engr. Emeka Nwaobi, Chairman, Delta State House of Assembly Service Commission, Chief Barr. Josephine Kachikwu and the Executive Chairman of the Local Government, Hon. Chuks Oseme, were in attendance.

Also present were the leader and members of the legislative arm of the local Government, the Chairman and members of the Executive Committee of the Party in Aniocha North, past chairmen of the Local Government, as well as former Chairmen of the party in the area.

Prior to the peace meeting, the party had been in turmoil, as factions committed to specific interests carried out silent wars of subterfuge and covert efforts to sabotage each other.

But at the peace and reconciliation meeting initiated by Chief Nkem Okwuofu, all the leaders, both elected, appointed and party members have agreed that all warring factions should sheath their swords and allow peace to reign.

They also agreed to work together for the common good of the local government and to present a formidable candidate for the chairmanship of the local government in the forth-coming local government elections in Delta state.

Speaking at the parley, Chief Okwuofu said that the all inclusive meeting was ordained and directed by God Almighty, adding that though the former Deputy Governor of the State, Chief Benjamin Elue, the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu, Former member of the House of Representatives, Prince Ned Nwoko, Mr Dumebi Kachikwu and Prof. Sylvester Monye were unavoidably absent at the meeting, they had already given their approval and their blessing.

“Every single one of them prayed and affirmed that it is high time for peace to reign in the Party. His Excellency, the Governor and the State Chairman of our party are fully aware of our gathering today,” she revealed

The renowned politician said she, being the oldest serving politician in the local government, decided to call for the meeting to resolve all the lingering issues and ensure peace returns to the party in the area. She told journalists that being the mother and leader of the party in the local government, it is her responsibility to ensure peace reigns.

According to her: “By all justification, I’m qualified to call for this meeting.  Everybody sees me as the mother of everybody and indeed I am. I have looked at it and said I have failed in my duty by not bringing my people together. As a mother it is necessary to do that because where I am going to is closer than where I am coming from. I needed to get my people together.

“They are my brothers and sisters. Within one week, I called for this meeting. I call it an all-inclusive meeting, bringing all of them together from all sides. Aniocha North must wake up and embrace peace. There must be peace, unity and loyalty to the party. Governor Okowa, having helped us this much, if we are not together, we cannot follow him properly.

“From today, we have resolved that there will be no other group in Aniocha North, no other meeting in Aniocha North. Apart from the party executives calling meetings, I’m the only one now entitled to call everybody together, address and speak to everybody in the capacity of a leader.

“This was overwhelmingly accepted by everybody. They recognized me as the leader of the local government. Everybody is now back together. And I know that today we will all go home and sleep very well. No leader is to call any meeting, no executive is to lead any aspirant, any community that has more than one aspirant, they are to present the most sellable one.

“Nobody is to meddle in any other person’s ward. We don’t want any of our chairmanship aspirants to drop any name; this one or that one has endorsed. We need to produce the best that can compete with any other chairman anywhere in the state. Not because somebody is backing him or parading him. We won’t accept that,” she declared.

Hon. Emeka Nwaobi, member representing Aniocha North in the state house of assembly, said he is totally in support of all the submissions of Chief Okwuofu, adding that prior to the peace meeting, there had been no peace in the local government area.

He commended Okwuofu for the initiative, saying: “she decided to call for this meeting to bring everybody together to preach peach and admonish everyone that from today, there is no more segregation. This is an initiative that we have all agreed to accept. It is a welcome development. It is an initiative that we have never had in the past.

“I strongly believe that she spoke from the depth of her heart that she genuinely wants peace. I am an advocate of peace. We will all do everything within our capacity to ensure this peace which has begun today is sustained and there will be no issues anymore.

“I am very happy and on behalf of the entire people of Aniocha North, I wish to appreciate her for presenting herself as an instrument to be used by God to initiate what has just happened today. The sermon here was geared towards bringing lasting peace to Aniocha North. I pray that God will help us to sustain the peace initiative that has just begun today.

The court also granted an order compelling the Inspector General of Police and the Director General Department of State Services (DSS) to provide protection for workers engaged in their legitimate duties from any form of harassment, intimidation and bullying by the officers, agents or privies of the unions pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice.

[dropcap]“T[/dropcap]he true worth of a man is in the way he treats people who are absolutely in need. If you care about people in need, you are actually making a contribution to the development of the nation. We need to give life back to the people; democracy is important in governance. We need to see how we can use the available resources for everybody; create
opportunities for all and care, especially for those who are truly in need. The gap between the rich and the poor should be bridged. Those of us blessed with material resources need to share with others. We must strike a balance with our resources.” This is the Philosophy of Uchechukwu Henry Onuorah.

Uchechukwu Henry Onuorah the former PDP Youths leader of oshimili South is a quintessential leader and gentleman. He is the embodiment of cerebral articulation, the essence of unparalleled philanthropy, the epitome of intellection and breathtaking simplicity, the personification of undiluted humanness, the perfect example of leadership symbolism, the paragon of idealism, the soul of humanity, the heart of warrior.

Indeed, some leaders are born, some achieve leadership, and some have leadership thrust upon them, while only very few have all three embedded in them. Uchechukwu Henry Onuorah is one of those very few good men; a true philanthropist, an accomplished grassroots Politician, a man of valour, the bringer of rain. In the gallery of great leaders and great men, he is without doubt, a rare masterpiece. Uchechukwu Henry Onuorah is elegant and unblemished in the magisterial lithe and athleticism of folkloric Kings and heroes, with unfettered, excellent diction and oratory; his brilliant smile like sparkling sun radiating from crystal clear eyes and he cuts the dapper, debonair figure and personality of the complete man he has truly metamorphosed into in the last Fifteen years.

If humans are truly fair to what comes from their mouths about Uchechukwu Henry Onuorah’s humanitarian gesture, the hope
of those trying to fake reality to get support in fulfilling their political aspirations, are definitely sealed up ahead
of the 2020/21 Local Government elections. On the other hand, if winning elections are based on passion to curb hunger, thirst and practical demonstration of lovefor development, love for others and doing good with one’s hard earn resources,Uchechukwu Henry Onuorah simply has no rival within and outside as his humanitarian lifestyle spells doom for all his rivals’ desperation.
Perhaps, a man’s hunger and thirst for making a difference or adding value to the lives of people, is not largely
measured on the basis of his privileges and access to power, control, possession or linkage to governmental finance
base, but his actions with the little he has.

The later is typical of Uchechukwu Henry Onuorah being a fanatic of the dictum, “it pays to be good”.Before stepping
into the Ward 4 Councillorship contestation upon plea by the people, a careful analysis of his lifestyle, evidently
shows that, doing good and being good are natural qualities that have kept him on constant check in his inter
relationship which internally propels him to ensuring that smiles are put in the faces and hearts of those around as
well as those who come in contact with him. This no doubt, earned him respect and love of the people as a man after
their heart.

Beside his push by the people to join the 2020/21 Ward 4 Councillorship contest and rescue the good
people of Ward 4 in Asaba from bad representation, the name Uchechukwu Henry Onuorah rings bell in the light of well doing, hence, to very many, “Uchechukwu Henry Onuorah” is synonymous with kindness, humility and good doing.To others, he is a symbol of love, affection and kindness. From the growing mass support he enjoys from the day of his call by his people, his acceptance and up till now, its a conviction that, no man forces himself to be loved or wins his way into the hearts of men.

Following his unconditional free -handedness, cheerful giving, care and concern for development dating to his days of
little beginning until now, widows, the aged and Christians across the WARD 4 and Asaba in general have in addition, nourished his Councillorship quest with praise and prayers to succeed and to expand his scope of love through effective and purposeful representation.
Uchechukwu Henry Onuorah is a blessing and gift to Oshimili South (WARD 4) and the best choice of representative for the
WARD at a time like this.…

[dropcap]W[/dropcap]hile the Delta state government and her functionaries are busy in a ‘jamboree’ like thanksgiving over a state created 29 years ago with little to show, her citizens are battling with the impact of flooding.
While some believed that the downpour on an auspicious occasion such as this, is a blessing but to the residents of the state capital mostly Umunkwo Street in Umuezei, Asaba, it is a curse for rain to fall. Umunkwo Street is submerged in flood following torrential rains.

The decision of Governor  Okowa Ifeanyi (SMART AGENDA) to create the Delta Capital Territory Development Agency, DCTDA, 29 years after its creation, was an indication that the state capital has not attained the status it ought to have attained in terms of infrastructure and living conditions of the citizens in the capital city. That was why the state government
created an agency to give it that bite and focus, but the reverse was the case of this agency.

The ever-busy Umunkwo Street in Umuezei off St. Brigid’s road link to Police “A” Division and Asagba Secondary school is now a death trap,as motorists who ply the road declared protest to draw state government’s attention to its poor state as floods have rendered the street impassable for months now. Motorists and passengers press home their anger against state government’s alleged nonchalant attitude towards its repair.

Following the pressure of heavy car movement, impacts of climate change, poor maintenance of Road, fear of road failure,
automobile accidents have become “playmates of motorists”, and motorists plying the ever busy Umunkwo Street in Umuezei
link to Police “A” Division and Asagba Secondary school.
Motorists plying Umunkwo Street take risk everyday driving on top of the failed portions and flooded road with fear, as
a result of the failed portion. we will continue to protest until government repairs the road”. we are worried by the
alleged lukewarm attitude reportedly exhibited by the agency in charge and state government toward addressing the
impending doom, dangling, tongues have started wagging, as Deltans, plying the road tongue lash Delta Capital Territory
Development Agency, DCTDA and the State Government Ministry of work (as we can nolonger talk of our dead Direct Labour Agency- DLA) for alleged insensitivity toward employing proactive measures swiftly to address the deadly situation.

Investigation revealed that deep potholes litter the Umunkwo Street,especially the entrance from St. Brigid’s road where they have been hue and cry of incessant accident cases recorded because the whole street is now submerged and motorist can no longer ply the road again.

In spite of the hue and cry which greeted the series of bloody accidents recorded on the submerged street everyday, we call on the state government to declare state of Emergency on Umunkwo street to safe lives and properties.

Grassroots Publishers online,however, pleads with the Delta State Government to declare state of Emergence on this deadly Umunkwo road, by employing temporary measures,such as filling this embarrassing spot with stones and by constructing urgent drainage because if the situation is not swiftly given attention,calamity will soon befall the residents of this street which will soon claim many lives and properties.

As the condition of the road becomes more deplorable following the rapid development of many dangerous spots,especially, the fast developing flooding on the road,The Grassroots Publishers are calling on state government to employ proactive measures to avert loss of lives and properties, A Stitch in Time Saves Nine.

[dropcap]U[/dropcap]rinating is a normal thing for a child to do because, it is a sign of healthy living that the kidneys and bladders are working. But it might be annoying when it is done at the wrong time, like Bedwetting.

So, bedwetting is a major concern for every parent, because, it can destroy the mattress and make it stink. So in this article, Above_Inspiration has gathered the 3 effective ways I used to stop my child from bedwetting.

Note: These processes take time and don’t stop them from bedwetting immediately, but gradually, they’ll stop bedwetting.

According to the topic, my child used to urinate on the bed at night, but after doing these 3 things he stopped urinating on the bed.

1. I Encouraged bathroom trips before bedtime.

One of the best ways to prevent a child from bedwetting is to help them empty their bladder. Telling them to urinate before going to bed is one of the most effective ways to stop them from bedwetting because when their bladder is empty, it’ll take a while for it to be filled again. And this will lead us to the second effective way, which is to get an alarm clock for them.

2. I Got an alarm clock for my child

It is important to get an alarm clock for your child especially the older ones as this will help to stop them from bedwetting. You can set this alarm clock at 4 hours interval, so that they’ll wake up every 4 hours to urinate and when this becomes constant like they’re doing it every day, it will be part of them and they will learn to wake up by themselves to urinate.

3. Check for constipation

Constipation most times is the major reason of Urinating on the bed at night because when colon close to the bladder is filled with hard or large poop, it will mount pressure on the bladder and this will make your child to bed wet. Try as much to make sure that your child poops normally by giving your child enough fluids and vegetables for easier bowel movements.
