RIFTS IN IDU-YW AND THE RESOLUTION TO ACCEPT PEACE
‎
‎A few days ago, the media space was sadly saturated with the issues of the Isoko Development Union youth wing, leaving the social environment with immense doubt, worry and fear of the unknown. In whatever manner, it has become expedient to review the rifts more strategically, to douse, allay the fears therefrom and resolve the same amongst stakeholders.
‎
‎It is true that, the creation of the Isoko Development Union youth wing (IDU-YW) was a strategic rebirth as an alternative to a monopolized youth leadership, and to also bear the same nomenclature as other sisters' ethnic nationalities having a youth wing.
‎
‎Leadership crises are not alien in sane climes or organizations. However, dispensing kinetic energy towards ensuring dispute resolution and restoring normalcy anytime it rear its ugly head is chiefly our top-most concern.
‎
‎Painfully, we sincerely regret the internal youth leadership squabbles that produced or resorted to the publication of two (2) IDU-YW caretaker committee lists on social media. Truly, that action epitomizes the magnitude of the brewing trouble, cascading the media as an uproar without civility and caution. Nonetheless, it will be needless to categorize the remote causes nor see it as unnecessary, to justify the nitty-gritties leading to the fierce media unrest.
‎
‎Admittedly, we take full responsibility for this avoidable quagmire and crave the sustenance of tranquillity. We are not unmindful of the fact that in the game of power, so many things are considered. Consequently, calling for the resignation of the President General of IDU Prof. Chris Akpotu, a well-read academic veteran or permanently prohibiting the IDU-YW, amongst others, without recourse to the pillars of Isoko cultural heritage, is an unthinkable fruitless exercise taken too far. In a real sense, this period defines an era of tutelage, wherein as future leaders, they must be tutored positively to accept and align with the parental ethos and norms worthy of emulation.
‎
‎On the other hand, the timeous decisive approach of the Isoko two local government chairmen, temporarily disbanding the IDU-YW activities was perceived and accepted as an action to curtail any form of hostility that could lead to loss of lives and properties. We salute their swift intervention as Chief Security Officers of the Isoko nation.
‎
‎Under the present circumstances, we cannot compromise leadership, which, once upon a time had put us on a distinct pedestal of honour. In order not to pettily sustain our fears and nightmares nor guaranteeing integrity, IDU BOT, High Chief Eta Enahoro, Grand Patron, High Chief Iduh Amaidhe, IDU Exco members and the body of PGs of clans, Hycent Ewariezi and Fidelix Obokpaino (former IDU-YW presidents), with their supporters gathered in Camp David to chart a way forward. Warring youth factions have unanimously agreed to throw in the towel to maintain the cordial sanctity and integrity of the revered institution.
‎
‎It is worthy of mention that, the IDU executive led by Prof. Chris Akpotu, are leaders always in the saddle. We have displayed the capacity at various times to resolve community crises within the circumference of the Isoko nation. The Okugbe Isoko Avó Enyaharo mantra of the youth is no mere cosmetics, but a composition indicative of visionary leaders with prestigious commitment to duties. We have dispassionately evaluated diverse leadership arithmetic, and we resolved/agreed as follows:
‎
‎1. To nip in the bud every youthful outburst that will not promote cordial working relationship henceforth.
‎
‎2. To jettison the two caretaker committee lists published and directly go for election as quickly as possible.
‎
‎3. Accept all administrative frameworks spelt out, but not shrouded in secrecy to guide the selection of delegates.
‎
‎In conclusion, historically, IDU is 78 years old. We cannot overheat and destroy the structures laid by our founding fathers. For a variety of reasons -- considering all variables, we agreed that the meeting should announce peace as we unanimously define and shape the future of the youth wing. Leadership shall reach out to other stakeholders, especially the two local government chairmen for a comprehensive engagement on all issues that affect our survival as a people. We enjoin IDU-YW to be calm as we speedily galvanize, harness and bring to bear our collective resolve. Our loyalty and commitment to moving the Isoko nation forward remain sacrosanct because every height has a price.

Isoko Development Union President General, Prof. Chris Akpotu, Celebrates Another Year.

Today, we celebrate an iconic academic and the esteemed President General of the Isoko Development Union (IDU) worldwide, Prof. Chris Akpotu, on his birthday.

Throughout life, those who have made significant impacts—whether in politics, tradition, culture, or through a genuine passion for serving humanity—deserve sincere recognition while they are still with us.

As a Professor, with the highest academic distinction, Prof. Akpotu has achieved remarkable growth at the academic level while simultaneously championing the cause of Isoko in our homeland. He is a man whose commitment to development reaches for the sky, driven by a purpose of progress, peace and unity. His interests go beyond the narrow, and he has consistently displayed extraordinary courage in overcoming challenges, always strategizing and advocating to influence government policies for broader recognition and development.

Importantly, as the foremost leader of the Isoko Nation, he has utilized his intelligence and skills to drive visible and positive change across various sectors. Just as the stone that defeated Goliath was chosen for its purpose, Prof. Akpotu's leadership charisma and exceptional passion serve as a blueprint for others to follow.

Those who once doubted your charisma now recognize your impactful leadership style, which has initiated significant historical and political changes. Your unwavering commitment to Isoko’s goals has paved the way for the Delta South Senatorial achievement. Your courageous leadership journey within our homeland is truly impressive.

Additionally, your values shine through, especially your peaceful nature. You embody meekness as a dove and wisdom as a serpent. Your calm demeanour in the face of political provocations has established your ideological foundation, making Isoko proud among other ethnic nationalities.

Unfortunately, current laws prohibit fireworks, preventing us from celebrating this momentous occasion with the usual festivities. Nonetheless, on this special day of your birth anniversary, the entire Isoko community—both home and abroad, along with IDU executives and stakeholders—celebrates your extraordinary resilience, charismatic leadership, and unwavering passion for Isoko’s growth and development. We stand tall because of your guidance and participation.

I sincerely pray that God rewards you and our commitment to selfless service, and grants you vitality, wisdom, good health, and longevity as you continue your work for Isoko Nation.

Happy Blessed Birthday, Sir!
Congratulations and Best Wishes!

The New Political Curriculum We Must Learn.
..As Isoko endorses Senator Joel-Onowakpo for a second term.

As a political analyst and strategist, I find myself reflecting on the political dynamics at play. As a political strategist, I struggle to understand the connections among the conveners of this meeting and the rationale behind their action points. My evaluation of the current political landscape, as reported across various media platforms, reveals that the lack of a clear political interpretation has led to many unanswered questions in our political environment.

Surprisingly, I noticed that major donors contributed less, while those with fewer resources offered more. This discrepancy highlights a crucial lesson: the new political curriculum that all players must learn, regardless of the principles and interests that often drive politics.

Indeed, politics can be complex. Despite this, the political intrigue and interests presented in this new context resonate clearly, particularly in the interest of the Isoko nation. While some attendees may have been influenced to participate, believing the meeting would benefit Isoko, it reinforces my previous assertions that the doctrine of party supremacy is becoming outdated. Campaign strategies are evolving, making it easier for our grassroots supporters in upcoming elections.

I hold our leaders in high regard, even if our views may differ. However, I am convinced that the political truths are obscured, as the questions I’ve raised to better understand the situation have gone unanswered.

Among these complexities, one thing is clear: some leaders who gathered in Uzere collectively contributed to the residence of Senator Joel-Onowakpo in Abuja. They cannot simply dismantle what they built. Therefore, any decision reached without consensus would be ineffective. I firmly believe that any political alliance cannot be formed without the state's approval. We must recognize that four years should never be compared to twenty years in any political calculation.

In conclusion, Isoko cannot afford to lose its Senate seat, nor can we compromise our political future. Senator Joel's legislative accomplishments in the Senate are widely recognized and appreciated. Thus, any support or endorsements that undermine the efforts toward Senator Joel-Onowakpo's second term must be halted. I urge our Isoko leaders to unite as one and swiftly endorse this esteemed position until 2031, as we cannot overlook the opportunity for Joel-Onowakpo in 2027. This is a political strategy we cannot afford to overlook as we strive for the recovery of Isoko’s senatorial representation.

Long live Isoko nation.

MC2 KINGDOM SAGA: The LESSON Of THE MOMENT AND IT'S APPLICATION IN 2031.
.. Special Thanks To Our People.

The renewed vigour of agitation by the Isoko people to free detained Mr. Ajirioghene Otagba, aka MC2 Kingdom, was a resounding discovery, which announces the power of unity. The zip exerted or displayed had already defined our new characteristics, going forward.

Without doubt, it was an infringing moment on one of us, but the capacity shown in all fronts chiefly targeted at one purpose; "release MC2 Kingdom." It was certain that, some stakeholders, who brokered the deal displayed anger, and also considering taking further legislative steps, while others blew cold as peacemakers to ensure that the boy in police detention gets quick palliative - all holistically geared towards one goal.

The petitioner, Chief Mathew Edevwie, undertook to consider the voice of Isoko nationality, the pedigree of personalities involved, and resorting to let go the latest story of contract awarded and cyber bullying brouhaha, despite the stories that ravaged the social media space.

In another development, the police were not too friendly on the account of perceived crime committed, "cyber bullying." Though, there's a common parlance that police is your friend, it's not always applicable as it were. Consequently, arising from the pressure from calls, as well as the quotum of media outburst, the police were profoundly in state of indecision. The several transfer of Mc 2 kingdom, from Maitama police station until he got to Police headquarters Abuja, just to secure his bail was another kettle of fish, which is a pointer to the likely disciplinary action that would have been melted, if not for the swift collective intervention of Isoko people. The bottlenecks were self explanatory.

In any circumstance, we must appreciate Chief Mathew Edevwie, who abhorred going toe-to-toe with Isoko nation, listened to the voice of reasoning against giving stringent bail conditions and kept his promise. Relatedly, we must sincerely appreciate Isoko people, home and diaspora, who consistently added their piercing voices and unshakably demanding to get our son released. Indeed, he came out unhurt yesterday Tuesday 18, 2025 at 6pm.

It is true that, we scored this political goal because we took away the garb of antiquated sentiments, hatred, infidelity, political evil premonition and demonstrated love, purpose and common goal. Our resolve to provide support was enduring, historical and commendable.

Now, the millennium questions; how do we make real this social movement in 2031? How do we expand the collaborative fronts in 2031? How do we translate this digital advocacy in 2031? How can the voice and bond of unity cm Isoko-first-spirit be sustained?. THE LESSONS LEARNT AND IT'S APPLICATION IN 2031, IS A FUNDAMENTAL FACTOR THAT MUST BE CONSIDERED BY SEVERAL INTEREST GROUPS IN ISOKO NATION. If we attempt to answer above questions correctly and bring same kinetic energy to bare in 2031, Isoko political newness or political value will be appreciated by comity of nations.

Special thanks to the Isoko illustrious sons;

PRINCIPLES AND INTEREST, GATEWAY TO UNUAFE'S VICTORY.

About six months ago, Oleh Community was deeply enmeshed in leadership turmoil. It was orchestrated primarily for the reason that, borrowed unconstitutional practices exhibited by the immediate past President General, Chief Believe Alakri, took the front burner in his winded up administration.

Various stakeholders with obvious exposure, intelligence and/or those whose interest for Community advancement outweighs those who navigate through parochial and narrow-minded intentions, that could not bear these strange practices came out to rescue Oleh from Egypt.

Regardless of the fact that the experience was tough, the team demonstrated capacity, will and common purpose to the fullest. We never relaxed on our oars until victory. Historically, it was clear that allowing these unconstitutional practices to thrive, means allowing wrong precedence, which are not in tandem with our ethos and culture as a people.

Consequently, to nip in the bud identified excesses, a team was swiftly instituted to surmount every plot, while testing the strategic street relevance of the . Talking frankly, releasing the baton was not easy on the ground that the State Government earlier misled later realized after stringent legal report from the Ministry of Justice, Asaba that truly, the tenure of Chief Believe Alakri expired 31st December 2023, and this automatically set, and as well renewed the wheel of justice on proper path for the records.

About 2 years ago, If not for God's intervention, I almost lost my life for an ingrate, who took away the ladder of generosity, teamwork, impeccable trust, passion for service, diligence, capacity and after climbing to the roof top became dictatorial. When you develop a sieved conscience, witch-hunting your great supporters, the resultant effect is always not friendly OR when your quest for power is at variance with divine order, and yet professed activities that negate moral standards, you fail and fall like a pack of card. In our local old adage; "When you throw the native pot into the well, you remove it yourself." Today, Saturday May 25, 2024, he is thrown out and all his unqualified sponsored stooges watched disgracefully from the leadership balcony.

The huge euphoria following the victory, in the election never subsided until we moved in a long convoy of cars and motorbikes to the Palace to see His Royal Majesty, A.W.O. Ovrawah, JP, FCAI, Odio Ologbo of Oleh kingdom for royal blessings. The intermittent drizzling of the rain in the evening was indicative of God's presence and blessings on the new executives cm Oleh Community.

No doubt, we owe allegiance to our Community as we shall, from time to time crossbreed ideas to enthrone sustainable growth. Don't forget, I am always influenced and driven by objectivity, yet, have absolute faith in our collective interest. It's true that, the milk in the mother's breast is not for advertisement, it's for the child." When you betray the trust reposed on you by the people, the last resort is to evict you and cohorts from the corridors of leadership. My street relevance and bargaining power again have been tried by fire and still valid.

Special thanks to the Honourable Commissioner, Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development, Barr. Mrs. Pat. Ajudua, the Permanent Secretary, Mrs. Ovie Agas and the Director, Eyione-Ireyefoju (Mrs), the Special Adviser to the governor on Peace Building and Conflict Resolution, Chief Tony Uzor JP, Director General, Delta Security, who conducted a free and fair election and swore in the newly elected executive members. Indeed, your roles were significant and sincerely impeccable. We disagree to agree.

Finally, Congratulations, Mr. Believe Ezigboma Unuafe, the consummate banker and the tear rubber President General, Oleh Community Development Union (OCDU), who is versed with the millennium experience. Your victory was resounding with a convincing popular votes of 135 against Barr. Christopher Okpro (Alakri's candidate) who pulled 69. The difference was the peoples' verdict, and the margin was on the account of principles, interest, preference, personal conviction and acceptability. To whom God has shown mercy, no manipulations or legal intrigues can clog his mandate, because God rules in the affairs of men.

The Death Of Mr. Edward Obobolo; Big Loss To Isoko Development Union.

We regret to announce the exit of our dear friend and colleague, Mr. Edward Obobolo, who died after a brief illness at Ughelli. Regardless of the fact that the scriptures said; "We should give thanks in all circumstances," the death of our colleague is painful, shocking and heartbreaking.

Until his demise, he was the National Treasurer, Isoko Development Union (IDU), a defender of Isoko social/cultural ethos. A man with an unquenchable appetite for service to humanity.

"As an ethnic nationality, we are aware that, the death of Obobolo Edward is a monumental loss to Isoko people as a forensic treasurer with creative leadership perception. Only God knows what is good for us as mortals.

On behalf of Isoko nation, I condole with Avaira Community, the wife, children and members of the family over the demise of their father, Mr. Edward Obobolo, who passed away March 13, 2024. Our prayer is with the family. While praying God to give them the fortitude to bear this great loss, we pray that, may God Almighty grant his soul eternal rest.

INVESTITURE:
Igelige Congratulates IDU President General, Prof. Chris Akpotu, On His Well Deserved Elevation To Fellow of the Institute of Strategic Management of Nigeria (Chartered).

National Publicity Secretary of Isoko Development Union (IDU), Chief Dr. Jubilant Igelige, JP, has graciously congratulated the President General of Isoko nation, Professor Chris Akpotu, on his elevation to the rank of Fellow of the Institute of Strategic Management of Nigeria, (ISMN).

In a statement made available to the press by the indefatigable IDU mouthpiece, in Oleh, headquarters of Isoko South, described the super President General as "one of Nigeria’s most intelligent Professor with decades of outstanding contributions in the area of research and development in Nigerian.

He emphasized that, as an erudite Professor of Business Policy and Strategy in the Niger Delta University Wilberforce island, Bayelsa State, he has transversed the nook and crannies of various institutions, delivering knowledge in different strategic fields of human endeavors. The institute of strategic management is a globally recognized institution that gives a world-class strategic training that puts you among the best in strategic thinking for competitive advantage.

"He noted that, as a custodian of the Management profession, his unwavering contributions with respect to leadership antecedents are classified and distinguished. It is true that, Professor Akpotu is a bridge-builder with unquestionable appetite for peaceful coexistence.

"As an impeccable cultural leader of the Isoko people, no doubt, you have become a peace advocate, and a symbol of humility. We have enjoyed your invaluable wisdom and highly constructive leadership style, thereby gradually making Isoko a "Political Model" amongst comity of ethnic groups.

"The Institute of Strategic Management of Nigeria (ISMN) is a professional management institution, which specializes in strategic leadership and governance. It advances and promote knowledge and skills in the practice of strategic management, strategic leadership, strategic entrepreneurship, and governance through research, publications, education, training, certification and induction.

"The investiture cm elevation, which was conferred on you in a colorful ceremony in Abuja, is chiefly predicated on a life dedicated to public service, which admirably had become a role model to the youths and society at large. When your leadership style is rationalized, the veracity of your unadulterated services to mankind, judging from your peaceful disposition is not skewed and in doubt.

Predominantly, life is judged by the memories ignited by services, and over the years, the services rendered by a well-read Prof Chris Akpotu, in the contemporary and University environment, as a lecturer and leader of value, had travelled a thousand mile, which overtly culminated into this gesture of elevation.

On behalf of the Isoko people, Patrons and Executives, I warmly congratulate the number one citizen of Isoko nation, Professor Chris Akpotu, on his elevation to the rank of Fellow of the Institute of Strategic Management of Nigeria, (Chartered). Isoko people are impressed and proud of you. We say Congratulations on your well deserved auspicious elevation.

My warmest Congratulations!

A New Year Message From IDU President General.

Dear Sons/Daughters of Isoko Nation,

On behalf of IDU leadership, I bring you greetings. Happy Prosperous New Year. There is no doubt, the beginning of a new year brings the time-honored tradition of making resolutions – simple intentions to do or not do something. These resolutions ordinarily focused on where we are presently, and ways we can improve our future as a people.

First, you are all aware that, Isoko Development Union (IDU), the Apex social-cultural organization of Isoko nation, on 23th Dec., 2023, held her annual conference at Isoko Unity House, Oleh, and salient issues that bother on our existence were discussed.

It is true that, since we took over the reins of leadership, we have experienced some handful of hiccups, but God helping us, we have shown some level of dexterity in managing them, either in economic, social, religious or political circumstances, and that attest to some of the results we see today.

In a bid to harnes and improve on the social standards/position of our people, IDU, as the parent administrative organ of Isoko people, collaborated with individuals and other institutional partners to ensure placement of our people when and where necessary. We have also made gains in areas we can not immediately outline now.

Furthermore, the light up Isoko project has attracted much attention and we have been involved in multi-level discussions with an international firm of Turbine Power from the USA. A strong and focused committee is in place driving this all important project passionately and collaboratively reinforced by our creative youth. We fervently pray that the ongoing discussion meet the desired end points.

Most fundamental is the peace we have secured through resolving inter/intra communal crisis. While some of these crisis have been amicably resolved, others are on-going and at conclusion stages.

We urge that all hands must be on deck to ensure the peace we have now is not tampered with, especially now that we are in the euphoria of a new season. I strongly appeal to you to resist any uncivilized approach that would defy the essence of our unity.

Finally, I commend the commitments of Isoko Branches Council, President Generals of Communities/Clans, women and youths wings, Clergies, Traditional Rulers, our politicians, (elected and appointed), our patrons and BOT members are not exempted. They sustained the flag of their support for the continued survival of our leadership, especially as it concerns the Isoko Senatorial ambition, a resolution reached in IDU annual general conference December 2021, to get Isoko man into the Senate seat come 2023. Your efforts and commitment made it a fruitful venture.

My people, as we move into the future, we will move into higher economic grounds that are promising. There shall be pathways of renewed capacity to keep hope alive. The future of Isoko nation is bright and beautiful, so we must embrace, as well as maintain peace and tranquility, in our various communities to enthrench sustainable development. We will engage institutions and government to have a clear bargain and ensure that equity takes precedence. IDU will continue to be there for all of us, and I think this genuine feeling is paramount at translating our hope to global scale reality.

Going forward, we will reflect in last year's activities and reposition on the scheme of things. We can be each other's keeper and like a bridge for provable growth. 2024, will bring more co-operation at all levels of our organisations and among Isoko people.

While wishing every Isoko son and daughter, home and diaspora a prosperous New Year, we hope 2024 shall be a year set for bountiful harvests, limitless celebrations and healthy living. Thanks for your support and understanding. I welcome you all to a productive 2024 with guaranteed bountiful harvest. ISOKO WILL FOREVER BE GREAT.

Prof. Christopher Akpotu,
President General, IDU.

Long live IDU,
Long live Isoko Nation,
Long live Delta State
Long live Nigeria.
