PERE OF TARAKIRI KINGDOM IN BAYELSA STATE OF NIGERIA COMMISERATES WITH THE PEOPLES OF OFONI AND TORU-ORUA

A Press Statement issued from the Office of The Pere of Tarakiri Kingdom, King (Engr.) Richardford Orukarebai Koroye, has condoled with the bereaved Families and peoples of Ofoni and Toru-Orua communities on the unfortunate and regrettable events that led to the death of two sons of Tarakiri Kingdom. 

In a statement signed by the Palace secretary, High Chief Dr Mrs Stella Peremoboere Ugolo, he urged youths to shun criminality and violence and to avoid such unwarranted killings and destruction of property in his ancient and sacred Kingdom known for peace and greatness.

The revered Royal Majesty called on the youths and people of Ofoni and Toru-Orua to eschew any unwholesome behaviours such as robbery and violence so as to maintain the peaceful relationship their communities have enjoyed over the years as children of the great Tarakiriowei, whose descendants are settled in over 20 communities spread across five LGAs in Bayelsa State and two LGAs in Delta State.

King Koroye condemned in strong terms the events that led to the unfortunate loss of lives and urged youths not to take laws into their hands as this was never a sustainable way of resolving conflicts.
In his words, the Pere said " I received with shock, sadness and deep concern the news of the killings early this week of two young men, one from Ofoni and the other from Toru-Orua - both communities being part of my domain as children of Tarakiriowei.

'I send my heartfelt sympathy to the families of the bereaved even as I condole with the chiefs, elders and people of the 2 communities. As your King, I am working round the clock with my chiefs to ensure that the peace both communities have enjoyed all these years, is restored'.

'The team of chiefs I sent to visit the Ofoni and Toru-Orua communitues have made some progress with the task of resolving the issues and will persist until all parties involved are reconciled'.

King Koroye urged parents and community leaders to caution their wards and peoples, respectively, to always be of good behaviour and shun vices that would lead to such unwarranted and gruesome incidents that portray our kingdom in bad light. He also charged the youths to expend their energies on productive ventures and not on criminality, robbery, cultism, drug addiction and thuggery; otherwise, they would be made to face the full wrath of the law.

Dream Come True, As NDDC Inaugurates Niger Delta Chamber of Commerce Board

By Willie Etim When the idea was first muted, a number of cynics dismissed it, typical of naysayers in our society.  They thought that all the effort will end in futility. The resilience of Chief Samuel Ogbuku, (PhD), Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), who nurtured the birth of the Niger Delta Chambers of Industry, Trade, Mines and Agriculture (NDCCITMA), came to bear when all other such chambers in the region put up a resistance against the registration of NDCCITMA, a battle that lasted over nine months. As the initiator and benefactor of the NDCCITMA, the management of the NDDC, established a management committee for the chambers to midwife it to solid take off point. After the design of an implementation plan which was carefully followed, the committee terminated its engagement and set the stage for the official inauguration of the Chamber’s Board The eventful registration and inauguration of the Board of the Niger Delta Chambers of Commerce, Ind...
