LG POLLS: I would tame youth restiveness through the creation of job opportunities if elected- Kelly Udebhulu.

Marvis Irabor reports.

BENIN CITY-Ahead of the yet-to-be-announced local government polls in Edo State, a chairmanship aspirant for Esan West Local Government Area, Kelly O. Udebhulu has promised to operate an all inclusive government.

In a chat with our reporter in Benin city yesterday, Udebhulu said he is in the chairmanship race to bring the needed development to his people.

"I am not out to make empty promises; they should see me as somebody on a mission to bail them out of poverty. I will carry everybody along if elected as the next chairman of Esan west local government area. Our people need not suffer.” He assured.

He continued that his wide exposure to life and knowledge would play vital roles in his government.

"I have the understanding that quality education has a direct bearing on national prestige, greatness and cohesion. The knowledge and skill that young people acquire help determine their degree of patriotism and contribution to national integration and progress. The prohibitive cost of acquiring education is part of the causes of youth restiveness in our local government area.

"The after effect of this situation is that thousands of young people roam the streets. Those who manage to complete secondary school have no opportunities for tertiary education. Having been denied the chance to reach their potential, they are disorientated and readily available for anti-social actions." He disclosed.

A community based philanthropist-turned politician, Kelly Udebhulu stated that if elected his agenda would be people oriented administration.

"Sadly, rarely do people in Esan west local government participate in decision-making processes on issues that affect their lives." He lamented.

He assured his people that he would tame youth restiveness through the creation of job opportunities if elected that poverty is another major cause of youth restiveness and promised to address it if elected by his people.

“I will give adequate attention to women and youths in the locality by empowering them. Our people have suffered enough hence I am out to alleviate their plight.” He said.

“I will create the enabling environment in Esan West Local Government Area as the council chairman and when there is peace, investors will not be scared to come and invest in the area. I am out to make a change in Esan west Local Government Area,” the Chairmanship aspirant stated.

Kelly Udebhulu assured his teaming supporters that his chances of picking the party ticket and emerging the next chairman of Esan west local government area are very bright,” he concluded.

Combating Crime in Nigeria: An Unsung Hero Within the Nigeria Police Force.

By Prince Kelly O. Udebhulu.

Often we hear of major crack downs on crimes and criminality by the Nigeria Police Force and we hardly know what becomes of the brains and minds behind the brave acts. Do these great men and women of the Force swim in the tide of encouragement or sink in the trials of unrecognised recognition in an institution that is in dire need of mental attitude boost for their officers and men?

The story of CSP Patrick Ejedawe as a doughty policeman of note within the records of the force's officer corps has many knots, but the most recent is the one that has to do with how he mopped up the Atrocious acts of nefarious Kidnap Kingpin, Evans, in Edo and Lagos states.

The then Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola of Lagos State, at the fifth Town Hall Meeting on Security in Lagos in 2011, said that *no honour was too big for those who placed their lives ``on the line for others to have comfort.`` When he said this, it was in deference to and in appreciation for CSP Patrick Ejedawe. At this event, the then beloved Governor presented him with an award for *gallantry, courage and bravery*

Establishing public safety is among Federal, State and Local government’s fundamental obligations to its citizens. The safety and security of one’s person property are widely viewed as basic human rights and are essential to the community’s overall quality of life. When the citizenry is not, and does not feel, reasonably safe, other critical government functions such as economic development, government finance, public education, stable housing, and basic local government services become that much more difficult to provide.

There is increased demand for accountability from and within police system; advancements in technology, emergence of new crime types, recession measures, and a plethora of additional challenges place a huge demand on all the resources of the Nigeria Police Force especially the mental one, and where do we expect the right response to these challenges to come except in the men and women of the Force? Even if we were blessed with the most sophisticated equipment for policing in our land we would still need individual officers and men to do the job . However the story of our police is one in which we all see them steeply challenged in a manner that places them in the disadvantaged position when a call against crime is made. So how does an institution like the Nigeria police Force operate in such conditions? One answer lies in leadership. Leadership is one of the most important predictors of whether any institution is able to effectively function in dynamic environments. This is why the police cannot afford to leave their dynamic officers and men to feel dampened.

In all capacities and Police commands where Patrick Ejedawe has served, his style of leadership is worth emulating. He sees himself as a Police Officer. He plays a central role in the law enforcement system. He monitors criminal activities, takes part in patrols, respond to emergency calls, makes arrests, investigates crimes and testifies in court as needed. Still there is so much more to know about him. Let me try.

Investigation revealed that when nefarious kingpin, Evans’ activities became so troubling in Edo state, the then Inspector -General of Police, MD Abubakar, deployed one of his key operatives, Patrick Ejedawe, who was the Commander of Mopol 2 Squadron Command, Lagos, to Edo State, to track him and his members down.

It was learned that SP Patrick Ejedawe, now a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), who was senior to other officers then that are now Assistant Commissioners of Police (ACPs) and Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs) respectively;  mopped up all members of the gang except Evans, Hunch-man and Sudo, who fled to Ghana.

It is also on record how Patrick Ejedawe saved the lives and money of a bank in Lagos during a bank robbery incident in Lagos state under his Command as Commander MOPOL 2, Keffi, Lagos. In one of the breath-taking tactical displays of bravery as Squadron Commander, Mopol 2, Lagos; Patrick Ejedawe got information about an attempt to rob a bank, in response, he strategically positioned his men at various points within the banking premises, waiting for the robbers to strike. His strategy worked professionally. The robbers had planned to smuggle their weapons into the bank using a computer processing unit, which the security guard involved was expected to carry into the banking hall. On Thursday, May 10, 2012 at about 1700hrs, One Sodiq Yinusa ‘m’ was arrested at the vicinity of the bank while waiting for the other members of his gang to attack the bank. Based on the confession of the arrested robber. 

Investigation also revealed that O’C SARS was drafted to join Commander Mopol 2 Keffi, SP Patrick Ejedawe, to arrest other members of the gang in their respective hideouts. Their combined efforts led to the arrest of one Arnold Dokpesi ‘m’, Sunday Orukpe ‘m’, Timi Bozime ‘m’, Matanmi Oladipupo ‘m’ and Adesida Kehinde ‘m’. Two locally made pistols recovered and 11 numbers of 99mm live ammunition were recovered from Arnold Dokpesi and Sunday Orukpe.

The highly decorated policemen, led by Mopol 2 Commander, SP (Now CSP) Patrick Ejedawe, rescued four abducted people in October, 2011 from a criminal syndicate.

To hint at the dire circumstances under which the officers and men of the Nigeria Police Force operate in an atmosphere of sophisticated crime in Nigeria, Squadron Commander Patrick Ejedawe had had to on numerous occasions recover superior weaponry like rocket launchers and other arms and ammunition from kidnappers in Lagos. In a narrative by eyewitness on that fateful day, the unexpected visit of mobile policemen led by the Commander, MOPOL 2, Lagos, Patrick Ejedawe, to Obadore street in Igando area of Lagos, sent shivers down the spines of the residents. Three men reportedly abducted from different areas of Lagos, were met in one of the rooms, blindfolded with their hands tied to the back. To the amazement of all, when a search was conducted in the apartments, a catchment of weapons comprising three rocket launchers and three rockets, eight AK 47 magazines fully loaded with a total of 3,240 rounds of ammunition, four dynamites and assorted charms were discovered in the premises. Two of the suspected kidnappers were also arrested.

It was gathered that the bubble burst for the kidnappers was after one of them, Kenneth Okonkwo, a native of Abia State, was arrested somewhere around Sango area of Ogun State, in his attempt to collect N2.8 million ransom from the family of one of their victims, a medical doctor identified simply as Dr. Godwin Ene, 66, a surgeon. The second victim, Godwin Okonkwo, 56, who spent about three weeks in the kidnapers den, said: “I was on my way home from work on September 15, 2011, when a vehicle accosted me along my street in Okokomaiko area of Lagos State. Four heavily armed men alighted from the vehicle, and I asked them what they wanted. Before I knew what was happening, I was asked to pay ramsome before my release. The third victim, Rodney Agaga , a US based Nigerian who was in the country to invest in a hotel business, said the kidnappers shot at the tires of his car, demobilized it before forcing him inside their vehicle. An initial ransom of N150 million, he said, was demanded by his abductors.

Truth be told, Ejedawe has been honoured by society for his bravery and service to them some of then are both within and outside the Force.

On the 7th June, 2005, he was awarded by the Nigeria Police Force in Lagos presented to him by CP Ade. A. Ajaikaye for gallantry and courage displayed in routing of armed robbers who attacked Standard Trust Bank, PLC, Itire road, Lawanson, Lagos, killing two of the armed robbers and recovered arms, ammunition and other dangerous weapons in the early hour of 5th June, 2005.

In October 26th, 2011, he got another award in Lagos from the Nigeria police Force presented to him by CP Yakubu A. Alkali for gallantry, bravery and dedication to duty that led to the arrest of kidnappers and massive recovery of arms and ammunition, on 8th October, 2011.

Academically, Ejedawe has not failed the Force, it is on record that he emerged top of the class in the Tactical Leadership arm courses always. This is well known in the Force as a prerequisite for promotion.

Leaving the classroom behind and going again to the field of reality, it is worthy of note that in response to the award presented to him and his men by the then Governor of Lagos State Babatunde Raji Fashola, SP (Now CSP) Patrick Ejedawe who led the 20 man police team from the Lagos State Police Command to rescue four kidnapped persons in October, 2011 that instigated this honour, said the award showed that *those in government were watching the activities of policemen*

He said the honour was `highly` appreciated, adding that ``it will make us double our efforts.`` One would wonder if those in the Force were indeed watching the sacrifices of these men with a view to substantially rewarding them.

To this day despite all other acts added to these which prompted the Lagos State Governor to show his respect above, one wonders what the authorities at the Nigeria Police Force have done or are planning to do with gallant police officers like CSP Ejedawe. Accumulating plaques in their homes and offices for their bravery while growth within the ranks of the Force constantly eludes them? Methinks that people who fight right should be pushed upwards so that they can lead others right to fight right. Knowing full well that the best form of leadership is by examples and records, when men and women who have distinguished themselves occupy high ranks in society, those coming after them would see in them the reward of bravery, decency and excellence and then aspiring to be like them, they would go brave, go excellent and go decent. while others who have not come close to his deliveries have gone on to clinch higher ranks. The question is how far up has CSP Ejedawe leadership example pushed him within the ranks in our sacred Police Force? This writer can't provide you the answer.

Ejedawe , a committed officer, pride of his fellow officers and the rank and file of the Force has the in-built capacity of the Police Force to protect the lives and property of citizens. To maintain order, stop lawbreakers on their tracks by hounding them to incarceration so as to face the sad music of their nefarious actions. He has different responsibilities and tactics depending upon the size and structure of the area in which he serves. When such men as this are honoured unreservedly the police Force and the general public watching the scenario would feel warmth within them and naturally feel a commitment to be just, forthright and astute in their jobs. If ever we needed to encourage probity and excellence in our country, it is now.

NEWEST TECHNOLOGY: Young Nigerian bags certificate in automotive mechatronics in Germany.

Engr. Irabor

GERMANY-A young Nigerian, Engr.  Odijie Irabor, has achieved his life-long dream by qualifying as a technician in automotive mechatronics after his three years training course at Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

Irabor was presented with a certificate on Wednesday, July 12 in the western German city of Marl after successfully completing a 3-year training course at Gelsenkirchen, Germany, during which he acquired skills across automotive-specific mechanics, electronics, communication and advanced control.

Mechatronics (Automotive) engineering is one of the newest branches of engineering, and has far-reaching applications to every sector of society. The name Mechatronics stems from mechanical and electronics and is a relatively new approach to product design and development, merging the principles of electrical, mechanical, computer and industrial engineering.

It addresses the four interconnected disciplines used for all complex modern devices. Mechatronic systems are typically composed of traditional mechanical and electrical components but are referred to as "smart" devices or systems because of the incorporation of sensors, actuators and computer control systems. In automotive industry, modern automotive manufacturers are dealing with a growing trend to blend mechanical, electro-mechanical, digital control systems, and electronic design elements into one integrated system.

The course was introduced because of the increasing complexity of automobiles, entailing the integration of computer and communication electronics into their mechanical systems.

All over the world, specialists in automotive mechatronics are being sought after. It is the newest technology in the world.

In his chat with reporters;

" I underwent the training under Germany’s Dual Vocational Training system. The dual system involves trainees to attend classes at a vocational school and receive on-the-job training at a company." He said.

In his advice to Africans especially those living in Europe, Asia, America particularly Germany;

" I advise young Africans particularly those in Germany to ensure that they get certified training in any areas of their interests because that will prepare them for a successful career in the employment market.

 "There is no way you will be unemployed if you have a good Ausbildung (training).

“You will always find a good job as many companies in Germany already have acute problems training enough people for the continuation of their operations in the country.

“I advise every African living in Germany to learn something, because it is the lazy man that does the hardest job in Germany." He advised.

INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM IN NIGERIA.

Kelly O. Udebhulu

-Hitches and Proffered Remedies.

Presenter: Kelly. O. Udebhulu.

All protocols observed.

Nigeria is unarguably the most populous black nation in the World. A nation in her fourth democratic republic ( 1999 till date) after series of military coups with military marshal laws enacted.

Practically, we live in a world of problems. Individuals, organizations, societies, governments, and so on, are never contented with their current states or conditions of life. They seek to make progress. But the attainment of that goal – attaining improvements in conditions of life – is often constrained by series of problems. Those problems must be solved or removed before any meaningful progress can be made. It is from this solemn view we shall look at the operation of investigative journalism in Nigeria. Societal factors work for and against the qualitative expected societal responsibilities and obligations of investigative journalism in our country.

What is Investigative Journalism?

By definition, investigative journalism involves exposing to the public matters that are concealed – deliberately by someone in a position of power, or accidentally, behind a chaotic mass of facts and circumstances that obscure understanding or human comprehension. It requires using both secret and open sources and documents.

For a broader look from the angle of journalism, conventional journalism depends largely and sometimes entirely on materials provided by others (such as police, governments, companies, individuals, etc.); it is fundamentally reactive, if not passive. Investigative reporting, in contrast, depends on material gathered or generated through the reporter’s own initiative (which is why it is often called “enterprise reporting”). The investigative journalist uses self-made mechanisms to source and get information for every circumstance.

From the aforementioned definition, I shall discern three types of investigative journalism. Professionally, these categories might overlap.

-Uncover scandals. Aimed at detecting violations of laws, rules or norms of decency, by organizations or individuals.

-Review of policies or functioning of government, businesses and other organizations.

-Draw attention to social, economic, political and cultural trends.

It is worthy of note that in the service of the public interest, investigative journalist's purpose is to uncover corruption, injustice, maladministration and lies. As a duty to readers and viewers as well as self-protection in a hostile legal environment, investigative journalism seeks above all to tell the documented truth in depth and without fear or favor. They are often keen in research and finding raw news from source directly.

In every investigative mind;

- It is to provide a voice for those without one and to hold the powerful to account. It's to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

-Investigative journalism is skeptical and keen to bring information that someone wants to be kept secret, into the public light.

In Nigeria or any other Nation where the judiciary is corrupt, investigative reporting is the preferred scapegoat of the powerful when they have something to hide. That is the "ugly beauty" and the "icing on the cake" in the functioning of Journalism in general.

Around the globe not limited to Nigeria only, investigative journalism is under threat from a variety of hostile forces that may seem to have different agenda to the detriment of the general public yet use similar tactics and procedures in their governance. Governments - regardless of their professed ideologies - big corporations, powerful personalities and overzealous institutions are high-jacking the judicial system and promoting a perverse regulatory framework to prop up their self-defined right to be immune from criticism and scrutiny. Attempt to infiltrate their staged ideologies and mechanisms amount to direct confrontation which must be pull down by all means.

One of the preferred tools of those institutional Goliaths playing David in the courts is the national and international law that allows a claimant to sue for libel without any need of proof that their reputation has suffered serious harm. Any reporter can be sued for libel wherever they are based over released report. Governmental interference in the judicial activities of the judiciary that supposed to be an independent arm of the government, arbitrarily add colors to every of such judgment. And any fat cat can claim millions in compensation for every perceived slight to their PR-enhanced image.

The role expected to curb the threats against qualitative journalism in Nigeria.

To successfully deliver advice to a hungry person, food on the table would play an important role. Thus, as we have corrupt government or institutional persons, so does it exists in journalism not limited to investigative journalism per se. Greed and mindset which are major cause must be handled by the government and institutions maturely .

For example, if the government and media industries want to enhance freedom of expression by helping journalism cum investigative journalism, it would do well to look beyond the commercial marketplace. There’s a need to put in place legal and social policy measures that allow more creative and collaborative models for quality journalism in the public interest and eradication of fear from the instincts of every reporter that tomorrow is sure, that is; food on the table and judicial activities is fair.

Our collective role is to build a society of ours that allows justice, fairness, integrity, respect for human rights and rule of law freely.

Thank you.

Alert news: Okupe quits PDP, says party can no longer bear fruits.

Doyin Okupe

Dr. Doyin Okupe on Sunday resigned his membership from the Peoples Democratic Party.

Okupe, a former national chairmanship aspirant of the party, was also a spokesman for former President Olusegun Obasanjo while the latter was in power.

In a statement sent to our correspondent, the Iperu-Remo, Ogun State-born medical doctor, said that happenings in the party had indicated that there was no way it would bear fruits in the future.

He said his resignation from the party was as a result of what he referred to as long introspection and happenings in the former ruling party.

Okupe said he was making his resignation public from the party because he was not sure who to direct his letter to.

PDP has been embroiled in leadership crisis at the national level following the rejection of its Court Appeal recognised National Chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff by some of the governors and members of the party.

The aggrieved governors and some members of the party’s caucuses have pitched their tent with the National Caretaker Committee headed by Senator Ahmed Makarfi.

Okupe said that the party was also no longer exist as a unified party in his ward at Iperu-Remo, hence his decision to publicly announce his resignation from the party.

He said, “It is with deep regret that I publicly announce my resignation from the People’s Democratic Party.

“It has to be public because the PDP no longer exists in my ward as a single unified party it was when I joined it.

“It is no longer news that the PDP has been embroiled in a fratricidal internal crisis brought upon it by itself.

“Its current direction is difficult to discern and I am convinced that even when the much expected judgement from the Supreme Court is given, the future of the party is not likely to be significantly affected whichever way the judgement goes

AWARD OF EXCELLENCE: Capt Felix Omokhodion, A Man Beyond Description Honors.

Capt Omokhodion

Prince Kelly O. Udebhulu reports.

BENIN CITY-On the 30th day of June 2017 at the famous Festus Iyayi Hall, at the prestigious University of Benin in the ancient and historic city of Benin, Captain Felix Omokhodion, a pilot, security consultant, businessman, criminologist, innovator, human advocate, philanthropist, and a people-centric politician from Ward 4, Emaudo, Ekpoma, Esan West Local Government Area of Edo State, was presented with an award of  Excellent Service by the Nigeria Association of Social Workers, University of Benin Chapter.

In his capacity as the Chairman of All Niger Delta People's Congress (ANDPC) in Europe, and President, South South People's Assembly in Europe both with Headquarters in London, Felix Omokhodion ensured that the rights of our people were not trampled upon in the midst of prevalent racism and discrimination suffered by Africans in the diaspora.

However while ensuring that foreigners do not take his people to the cleaners in a foreign land, he also knew that worst fate for an African in a foreign land could come from his own people. To ensure that the peoples of Niger Delta based in Europe did not become their own brothers and sisters peelers, he put in place an efficient machinery for conflict management and dispute resolutions amongst the Niger Delta peoples in Europe under the All Niger Delta People's Congress (ANDPC) Europe and the South South People's Assembly (SSPA) Europe under his Leadership.

His work for his people did not just begin and end in Europe. In collaboration with our South South Leader and Elder Statesman Chief E.K Clark, Captain Omokhodion was strongly involved in the negotiations with Niger Delta Militants to lay down their arms and fully disarmed when the call for it was crucial to the peace and progress of not just the Niger Delta region, but also to the entire nation as a whole.

Recognizing the importance of linking the European diaspora with home, Captain Omokhodion humbly accepted the mandate of his brothers and sisters of the Niger Delta extraction in Europe to lead them as delegates to the First South South Economic Summit, which was held in Tinapa, Calabar, Capital of Cross Rivers State in 2008 as requested by Prof. Pat Utomi in the meeting with other members of his executives during his visit to London of which was chaired by Prof Pat Utomi.

Omokhodion

Captain Omokhodion is not just about activism and advocacy, he also puts a very practical face to his work for the elevation of his people in particular, and mankind in general. His renowned London Institute of Global Merchants Academy, has, and is involved in training and providing employment for Africans in general, Nigerians in particular and citizens of globe as long as they are committed to giving value to the human race.

Besides his London based *Global Merchants Security Ltd* he has been using his *Jet Response Security Ltd* to Secure employment for the less privileged Africans with particular interest in Nigerians and other minority nationals.

His interest in people upgrade does not end in advocacy, human capital development and the provision of gainful employment to people through his well established companies, he also works assiduously and efficiently in providing temporary accommodation towards permanent settlement for our displaced People abroad.

His marked role in the fight against crime through Crime Prevention and Control, Domestic Violence also played a great role in crime , Juvenile Delinquency and other anti social vices cannot but be said with a voice of gratitude.

As if his massive work abroad were not sufficient. Captain Omokhodion, when called upon to serve his government in Edo State, accepted wholeheartedly and worked assiduously under former governor of Edo state, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as the *Senior Special Assistants SSA* on Poverty Alleviation.

In this capacity, he got involved in the setting up of Skills acquisition and vocational training centers in the state as precursors to Job placement upon completion and then eventual permanent employment, or empowerment for Self employment depending on the individuals' natural inclinations. He worked fervently with his Governor in the programmes of portable water provision, provision of healthcare to rural communities, Mass mobilization of Medical Mission with expert doctors, surgeons, nurses, Ophthalmologist, and opticians, across the local government Areas of Edo State executing diagnosis, treatment and surgeries where necessary with dispensing of medicines and optical glasses all free of charge in collaboration with an American Charity Organisation.
