OBOREVWORI’S VISIT TO FRANK KOKORI

 OBOREVWORI’S VISIT TO FRANK KOKORI

By: Augustine Omilo

The Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori have severally demonstrated that he is a leader that has the welfare of his people at heart. After the subsidy removal was announced by the President of Nigeria, he was one of the first governors to put some measures in place as palliatives to the people. He approved the additional payment of Ten Thousand Naira (N10,000) to the monthly salaries of all the public servants in the state for three months in the first instance.

Less than three months after his assumption of office, the number one citizen of delta gave a directive to the state’s chairmen of local governments to recruit over one thousand teachers to enhance teaching and learning at the primary school level. The man equally stood surety for the procurement of Forty Billion Naira loan by the Local Government Areas. This was aimed at paying off the arrears of pension owed retired local government staff in the twenty-five local government councils. Oborevwori’s acts of love towards Deltans are numerous. The backlog of promotion arrears was not left out as the state commenced batch-by-batch payment since August, 2023.

When the news of the failing health of the renowned labour unionist, elder statesman and democratic crusader, Chief Frank Ovie Kokori filtered into the ears of Nigerians, the Delta state governor was one of the leaders of his calibre to pay him a get-well visit. The octogenarian was so excited by the presence of his governor at a private hospital in Warri where he is receiving treatment.

He could not hide his feelings about it.  Vocalising his thoughts, the former General Secretary of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) said; “I never knew Oborevwori is a good man because immediately he heard about my condition, he came to see me. He wasn’t close to me, so I am so happy that he is not a mean fellow. He is a real governor, a man who has such a heart is a good man and I have told him certain things privately, how he will make his name in the history of Nigeria… I have also prayed for him”.  The governor equally picked the hospital bill of Kokori and two other patients in the same hospital.

Oborevwori on his part confessed that his visit to the erstwhile labour leader and chieftain of the APC was born out of his belief that he (Sheriff) is the governor of all Deltans irrespective of political or ethnic inclination. There cannot be a better way of recognizing the heroes past than the governor’s approach of recognizing their contributions to the growth of the society and appreciating them while alive.

Apart from the gesture extended to the former senior staff of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, the state governor had earlier committed the state government to paying the hospital expenses of a toddler who was mistakenly shot and seriously wounded by a trigger-happy NDLEA operational staff in Asaba.

There are many similar cases like the ones the governor has attended to in Delta state. But it is obvious that he can only attend to the issues that are properly brought before him. This is where all the other politicians representing their various constituencies are expected to take a cue from the PDP state leader. They owe it as a duty to offer help to their constituents that are genuinely in dire need of such, especially through social, financial and skill acquisition empowerments.

The planet earth will be more interesting for humans to inhabit if men and women truly become each other’s keeper in love. Achieving this requires the avoidance of greed of any sort – struggling to acquire those things that are not needed in the first place, especially when surrounded by friends, relatives and neigbours walloping in abject poverty.

Sustaining the established “protocol” will not be easy without the strengthening of the already laid foundation for social investment programs in the state wherein the widows, the elderly and other vulnerable members of the society can be captured in the scheme.

Meanwhile, one can only implore the governor of the foremost oil-rich state to do all he can to maintain the standard he has set for himself. Those he has positively imparted their lives so far are praying for him to succeed. The prayer and elderly counsel of the ailing Kokori, whom he aptly described as a man who has “paid his dues” can never be in vain.

 

WHY ARE THERE NO FORMER PUPILS’S ASSOCIATIONS?

WHY ARE THERE NO FORMER PUPILS’ ASSOCIATIONS?

By: Augustine Omilo

Given the prominence accorded educational developments around the world through the activities of old students of secondary and tertiary institutes, it is not out of place for similar gestures to be extended to primary schools where foundations are laid for academic scholarship. The former students are normally organized into groups known as Old Students Associations, Old boys’ Associations or Old Girls’ Associations at post primary school levels. At tertiary school levels, they are referred to as Alumni Associations of their institutes.

Beyond the general bodies of these associations, there are equally sub-groups recognized as class sets. Many of them visit their Alma Mata at regular intervals with a view to finding out the areas of needs of the schools. Those within their capacity to meet are met without bothering the government or other owners of such academic environments.

Examples abound of great schools that have immensely benefited from the contributions of their former students. One of such is the famous Ika Grammar school, Owa where the old students recently provided new class room blocks, water borehole, built and furnished students’ hostels in addition to massively renovating the old administrative block that equally accommodates many classrooms. These were done despite the fact that the school have been handed over by government to its former owners – the Anglican Church. The whole of Agbor and environs went agog during the last annual general meeting of the old boys held in the school premises recently.

As part of their social functions, schools’ old students meet at regular intervals and discuss issues relating to the welfare of members, including assisting sick ones, helping to revive businesses of some of them and associating with each other in times of pains and rejoicing. During these activities people are inspired to do more to not only improve on themselves but also to lend helping hands to their communities.

If “catching them young” is a phrase to be embraced as a way of ensuring that the young ones are made to begin to reason in a particular direction that make the future bright, then exposing pupils to knowledge of men and women that were once like them will go a long to inspiring them to make the right choices early in life. In this case, old pupils will not only be building new physical structures for their former schools but can also be visiting the schools to offer motivational talks based on their success stories.

Associating with old class mates or school mates offer members a sense belonging, seeing that everybody in the society is important even though many may end up as “road-side mechanics”. The fact that one did not study beyond the primary school certificate should not automatically confer inferiority complex on him while meeting graduates of universities. The only people that can remove this toga of inferiority complex are schoolmates who know the strength of colleagues as they grew up.

There are children who probably do not understand that “papa was once a small boy”. Therefore, seeing them (the old people) coming together to act like kids will help in no small measure to shaping their future.

There are many old pupils who would have loved to contribute to the rebuilding of their former schools but lack the platform to do so. One of the greatest philanthropists from the old Bendel state of Nigeria (now Edo and Delta), Chief Ignatius Igabor Erigbuem was committed to mother earth recently. He was a very successful businessman whose formal education ended with Primary school certificate in the early 50s. In his life time, he single-handedly awarded scholarships to many people that were not his biological children.  In his tribute, one of the surrogate sons of the man and a beneficiary of the late chief’s scholarship, Ogbe Augustine described him as; “the professor of the economic emancipation of the poor”.  Imagine if Erigbuem had an opportunity to collaborate with his old school mates at CMS primary school where he started and ended his formal education career! It would have led to the upliftment of the standard of the school located in his native town – Owa-Alero.

The world is evolving. All human beings deserve the right of association with each other, irrespective of academic backgrounds. This can be easily facilitated by the coming together of old primary school pupils comprising of those with secondary and tertiary school backgrounds as well.
