Dear Sir/Madam,

Petition Against Mr. Jude Gbaboyor for Cyberstalking and Bullying

We, the Niger Delta Transparency Watch Group (NDTWG), write to bring to your attention the ongoing cyberstalking and bullying of Dr. Dennis Otuaro, High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, and the Gbaramatu kingdom by Mr. Jude Gbaboyor.

As an organization operating in the Niger Delta region, we are deeply concerned about the psychological damage this evil propaganda can cause to society and Nigerians. We believe it is essential to address this issue promptly.

According to the Nigerian Cybercrime Act, specifically Section 24(2), it is a crime to intentionally transmit a communication that threatens, bullies, or harasses another person. The penalty for this offense is up to 10 years in prison and a minimum fine of N25,000,000.

Furthermore, Section 58 of the Cybercrimes Act defines cyberstalking as a course of conduct that causes a reasonable person to feel fear.

Cyberstalking is a serious offense that can have severe consequences on the mental and emotional well-being of the victims. It is often accompanied by real-time or offline stalking and can be motivated by a desire to control, intimidate, or influence the victim.

The impacts of cyberbullying and cyberstalking can be severe and far-reaching, including:

Psychological Impact:

– Low self-esteem

– Anxiety

– Depression

– Suicidal ideation or behavior

– Negative emotions such as fear, distress, concern, or helplessness

Physical Impact:

– Headaches

– Stomachaches

– Eating disorders

– Other physical health problems

Sleep Issues:

– Difficulty in sleeping

Behavior Changes:

– Changes in behavior as a result of cyberbullying or cyberstalking

Whereas, according to UN human rights laws, every individual has the inherent right to be treated with respect, dignity, and compassion. This includes the right to be safe and free from violence, harassment, and bullying.

A life free from violence and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment is a fundamental human right. Bullying and harassment can lead to violations of numerous human rights, including:

1. Right to Health : Bullying can negatively impact physical and mental health, causing harm through physical injuries, stress-related illnesses, depression, and other health issues.

2. Right to Work and Fair Working Conditions: Bullying can result in higher absenteeism, poor performance, and an unsafe working environment.

3. Right to Freedom of Expression: Bullying can compromise an individual’s freedom to express their feelings or opinions, as they may no longer feel safe doing so.

In light of the above, we urge you to take immediate action to arrest Mr. Jude Gbaboyor and put an end to this cyberbullying. We also request that you investigate this matter thoroughly and ensure that justice is served.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Comrade Simon Ogbe

Prince Ejinyere Pays Unscheduled Inspection Visits To WUEDA Projects

…Urges Contractors To Expedite Action On Jobs

By the Media Dept of WUEDA

The contractors handling various road and flood control projects in Warri and Effurun metropolis have been urged to increase the pace of work to enable them deliver their jobs within specified time frames.

The Director General of Warri, Uvwie and Environs Special Area Devt Agency, (WUEDA). Hon. Prince Godwin Ejinyere gave the charge on Tuesday when he led a team of WUEDA engineers on an unscheduled inspection visit to some Govt projects under the supervision of the Agency.

At the 700-meter long Ejirue Street, Ekpan, Prince Ejinyere expressed satisfaction with the level and standard of work done but told the contractor handling the project, Cromwell Technologies Ltd, to ensure the project was completed in three months time.

He said “the Governor has zero tolerance for shoddy and delayed jobs,” asking him to use every available window to complete the project in record time, and de-silt the existing but blocked drains on completion of the job.

Responding, the Project Engineer of Cromwell Technologies, Engr. Martins Chukwunta, said the Ejirue Road project would be delivered at the end of February, 2025, as the community youth body was supportive, and all necessary materials and men were in place.

Thereafter, Ejinyere and his team visited the Ogbe Avenue Road extension, and were glad to see that the asphalt overlay had been completed. He urged motorists to “use it as a link road between PTI Road and DSC roundabout area of Effurun, to bypass PTI junction where a heavy flyover project is currently ongoing.”

Some residents and mechanics in that area thanked Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori for constructing the Ogbe Avenue Road and its extension, adding that “life and business in the area are now meaningful,” and prayed for the Governor’s success in office.

Ope Street off Lower Erejuwa Street Warri was the next port of call for Prince Godwin Ejinyere and his team, who were received by residents of the area, led by Coach Obire. The people thanked Governor Oborevwori and WUEDA for the road-and-flood-control project on Ope Street, which they said had now assumed the status of a GRA.

The WUEDA DG urged the residents to clear their drains regularly so that water could flow in them freely, and commended the contractor for a job well done, asphalting and marking the road, thereby beautifying it.

The Ejinyere-led team also inspected the ongoing bridge project across the Warri canal, that will connect Agbasa and Daudu communities in Warri, a project that no one ever imagined in such an obscure place except WUEDA, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and his More Agenda.

Prince Ejinyere said when completed, the bridge would serve as an access road for residents of Agbasa and Daudu areas of Warri, demystifying the security situation in that area, making it more accessible.

At Stadium Road, Warri, Hon. Ejinyere told the contractor, Levant Construction Company to back-fill the completed drains, lay asphalt where not done yet, dress the culvert according to standard, cover the manhole on the culvert with concrete slabs, re-open the canal, and de-silt existing drains for free flow of flood water in and around the stadium.

WUEDA’s Director of Project and Works, Engr. Bemigho Ofoeyeno was amongst the Agency’s civil engineers that accompanied Prince Godwin Ejinyere on the inspection visit.

In the third-place match, Team Urhobo ( Udu United FC) secured a walkover victory against Team Isoko, who failed to show up for the game. This outcome automatically awarded Team Urhobo third place in the tournament.

The Delta State Ethnic Peace and Unity Cup aims to promote unity, peaceful coexistence, and cultural understanding among the diverse ethnic groups in Delta State. The tournament featured teams representing various ethnic groups, showcasing their skills and fostering camaraderie.

International Human Rights Day: Adingwupu Calls For Respect Of People’s Rights 

An IT expert, philanthropist and a prominent politician in Delta State, Hon. Paul Adingwupu has called on institutions of state and the general public to stand firm in the defence of human rights.

He made this declaration to mark the International Human Rights Day, which holds every December 10 across the globe.

December 10 every year is observed by the international community in line with the General Assembly’s adoption and Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Adingwupu, who is not unaware of poor human rights record globally, decided to add his voice in this year’s advocacy and celebration because of the need to protect the rights of citizens, especially vulnerable people.

According to the politician, for a society to be fair and better, it must promote best practices and protection of the rights of its countrymen and women is one of such practices.

“A day like this calls for sober reflection. And as citizens, we should not lose sight of the fact that without protecting and fighting for the rights of others, especially the vulnerable, an improved quality of life and a better society that we all seek, will remain a mirage”.

“So, what are we doing from our different parts of the world as individuals, institutions, professionals, community and thought leaders, influencers, religious leaders, cultural organisations and even politicians to change the world in our quest for a better society through respect for people’s rights?.

“At a personal level, I am very happy that every 10 December, United Nations reminds the world of the need to think and work towards eliminating abuses by ensuring that everyone is free from any form of torture, human rights abuses and violations.

For me, the journey has only just begun but there is hope in the near future, that we will put behind us, this growing tide of violence and violations of human rights in Nigeria and other places outside our shores.

“So, on a day like this, I wish to thank specially, human rights defenders, civil society groups, some government agencies, lawyers, journalists, social media influencers and faith-based institutions, among others for the work they do for humanity.

There could not have been a better time to thank them for caring deeply about the well-being of others. But we must join hands to bring an end to this circle of violence that is now part of our daily life.

“As we all know, the journey before us as individuals and groups is long and winding, but together, we can change our world for the better by bringing freedom and hope to victims of human rights violations everywhere.

“Happy International Human Rights Day.”

Paul Adingwupu.

MORE Biz-Up: Oborevwori Disburses Grants To 2,000 MSMEs

Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Thursday, disbursed financial grants to 2,000 Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, MSMEs, in the state to grow their businesses and cushion the effects of the inclement economic realities in the country.

Speaking during the disbursement ceremony of the MORE Business Upscale Programme (MORE BIZ-UP) held at the Events Centre, Asaba, organised by Delta State Job and Wealth Creation Bureau, Governor Oborevwori said the gesture was designed to empower the entrepreneurs to cushion effects of the economic hardship in the country.

He said: “The MORE Business Upscale Programme, otherwise known as MORE Biz-Up, is one of the job creation programmes initiated in line with the MORE Agenda of my administration.

“As the name implies, MORE Biz-Up is aimed at providing stimulus in the form of financial grants to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises [MSMEs] in the state in order to grow their businesses and to cushion the effects of the harsh economic realities in our nation.

“Like other job creation programmes of the state government, such as the D-CARES, M.O.R.E Grant, M.O.R.E WESAP, among others, the programme is strategically planned and designed as a testament of my administration’s commitment to empower small businesses, fast-track economic growth and to foster development in the state.”

He charged the beneficiaries, to take the knowledge garnered from the M.O.R.E. Business School component of the programme to advance their businesses and leverage on networking amongst participants.

Governor Oborevwori, said: “Your success as entrepreneurs is crucial to the economic development of our state and which will further inspire other young entrepreneurs to follow in your footsteps.

“Therefore, I urge you to work hard to sustain your businesses. We shall continue to support your entrepreneurship journey. Out of a pool of over 10,000 applicants, you are blessed to be among the chosen.

“The 2,000 beneficiaries of the programme gathered here today are in two groups- 1,000 business owners drawn from a database of fresh applicants who have never benefitted from state government’s job creation and entrepreneurship programmes, and 1,000 past beneficiaries who were verified by the Directorate of Youth Monitoring and Mentoring.

“I expect you to make judicious use of the grant by applying it wisely and responsibly to your business. It is my earnest prayer that your businesses grow from strength to strength.”

Earlier, the State Chief Job and Wealth Creation Officer, Mr Ifeanyi Egwuyenga, said the strategy of the MORE Business Upscale Programme focuses on stimulating economic growth by equipping entrepreneurs with advanced business knowledge, and injecting financial stimulus in the form of grants into small businesses.

Egwuyenga said: “This new phase of grants under the MORE programme is a clear evidence of our government’s unwavering commitment to nurturing entrepreneurs. In turn, this drives economic growth and advances the ‘Advancing Delta’ mantra of the MORE Agenda”.

In their separate goodwill messages, Chairman of Artisans Association in the state, Ifeanyi Abanum, and the state ALGON Chairman and Chairman of Okpe Local Government, Hon. Isaiah Esiovwa, thanked Governor Oborevwori for the various empowerment programmes of his administration which, they said, had brought succour to Deltans.

The duo of Abanum and Esiovwa, therefore, urged beneficiaries of the MORE Bizup programme and other empowerment programmes of the state government to make judicious use of the facilities giving to them to strengthen their entrepreneurial drive so that they could contribute meaningfully to the development of the state.

Responding on behalf of beneficiaries, Mr. Meshack Okeoghene, thanked Governor Oborevwori for empowering them, adding that the state government’s gesture would serve as a catalyst that would stimulate the growth of their respective businesses.

SOCIAL MALAISE: Oborevwori Calls For Proper Upbringing of Children 

Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Sunday, called on parents to dedicate more time towards training of their children as a panacea to the rising wave of crime and social malaise in the country.

Governor Oborevwori gave the charge in his remarks at the dedication of Baby Tamara Guwor, daughter of Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt Hon. Emomotimi Guwor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Redemption Hall, Airport Road,  Warri.

He said: “I am happy to be hear again for the second time. I am a promise keeper and when I make promises I keep to it. So on the issue of street lights consider it done.

“We are here today for a very important ceremony, we are here for the dedication of Tamara Emomotimi Guwor. Baby dedication is a very good way to bring up your children because when you dedicate your children to God you are already paving the way for that child.

“Its a two way blessing and its a moment when parents commit to raise their children in the way of God through love, faith and values. So, it’s very key that we are here today.

“Baby dedication is not just a ceremony and am very glad that there is no reception for this ceremony because our people believe in celebrations but when you celebrate in the House of God it covers everything.

“Funeral service is more important than the reception. The blessings of dedication and marriage services are more important than the reception.

“So when I see people spending huge monies on reception, I get worried because if you put that money in the House of God, it will give you more blessings.”

Governor Oborevwori at the service, congratulated the Presidential Amnesty Coordinator, Dr Dennis Otuaro and pledged the support of his administration to ensure his success in office.

He said this was the first time the position was being occupied by a Deltan and vowed to support him to succeed in serving the people of the Niger Delta.

Pastor Olaitan Olubiyi of RCCG Delta Province 5, thanked Governor Oborevwori for swiftly attending to the request made by the church to fix Bright Hope Street and drainages to control flooding in the area.

He also lauded Governor Oborevwori for caring for the widows, orphans and the less privileged in the society.

Preaching on the theme: “The Everlasting Arms of the caring God”, Pastor Olubiyi said God cares for His people by releasing His grace, being a just God and by showing his children love everyday.

He called on Christians to always take advantage of the loving kindness and care of God in advancing their lives for good.

Wife of the Governor, Deaconess Tobore Oborevwori, Deputy Governor of the State, Sir Monday Onyeme; his wife Catherine Onyeme, Deputy Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Arthur Akpowowo, Member Representing Warri Federal Constituency, Hon. Thomas Ereyitomi, Presidential Amnesty Coordinator, Dr Dennis Otuaro among other dignitaries attended the dedication service.
