…As snakes sack Ijaw villages
From EMMANUEL OGOIGBE, Warri
As flood continues to ravage several towns and villages in Burutu Council Area of Delta State, a pregnant woman yesterday gave birth to a baby boy inside a boat. Daily Sun gathered that the woman, who was taking refuge in the boat at Yayorogbene village in Ijaw area, was facing hard time as she could not provide shelter for the newborn baby.
It was also learnt that a middle aged woman, identified as Madam Shaka Felix in the same riverine area, attempted suicide as she lost N2 million to the ravaging flood that submerged over 50 houses.
Narrating her ordeal, the woman who refused to be consoled said she had attempted hanging herself in a near-by bush but was rescued by a hunter. She had been placed on security alert to forestall any further attempt on her life. In another development, a pregnant woman with five children almost drowned as the boat they were paddling to cross to the other side of the creek at Ekorogbene village capsized but were rescued by villagers. Investigation revealed that many snakes and other dangerous animals were killed in a house, just as hundreds of flood victims had been trapped in their homes and tents at Ekorogbene village.
It was further learnt that two 80-year-old women and a 90- year-old man who were rescued from their collapsed buildings have pleaded with the state government and the Burutu council to assist them by providing food and shelter.
The eldest man in Ekorogbene Community, Mr. Ekereke Oyakonghan narrated the ordeal of his community, saying the only Ekoro Primary School in the area had been flooded and pupils had been sacked from the school. Meanwhile, the National President, Ijaw People Development Initiative (IPDI) Comrade Austin Ozobo has pleaded with the Federal Government to come to the aid of the victims as their case was growing worse on daily basis.
The state govt in conjunction with F.G. should assist the flood victim including the woman that misplaced N2M.
Where is our faith.
No Nigerian blood both at home and in diaspora would testify that he/she isnt aware of the sufferings those displaced by the flood are going through, this isnt by their making and it could be anyone in their shoes………..Where are our so called spiritual leaders, where are the soul called men of God who we contribute our offerings to on daily basis and they use to furnish their expensive and flamboyant life styles, buy new fleet of cars, service their chains of investments and even add new aircraft to their fleet, where are all these people these displaced citizens of Nigerians look up to as serving men of God and to whom they give offerings and tithes………………..Most of this displaced citizens are well respected citizens of the country who did their best in their environments and helped in the growth of the ministry in their environs where the so called leaders take the glory and because of the unfortunate incident
that made them refugees in their own fathers land everyone is quiet on their predicament and all we read on the news on a daily basis is stories of harassment, molestations, death, starvation and what have you…………….the Government cant do this alone and that’s the simple truth that everyone knows…………….Where are those spiritual fathers who preach one thing and do the other because now is the time to practice what you preach not towards December period because crusade is near they come out to give cheap donation to catch the eyes of the masses i say to all you spiritual leaders now is time to test your faith as most of these displaced Nigerians have contributed willingly to the growth of your ministries not talking about any in particular but talking about every ministry to standup to the work of god and prove that they aint using us to do business but willing to do the will of God which is helping the needy in times of difficulties instead of lavishing the same money the masses contributed for the hand work of God in luxuries………………….i REST MY CASE
