Relevance of Ijaw ethnic nationality threatened — Jonathan

Goodluck Jonathan

 

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has called on leaders and stakeholders of Ijaw Nation to shun divisiveness and work together in love and unity for the collective interest of Ijaw people in Nigeria.

Jonathan made the call when the national executives of the Ijaw National Congress accompanied by the Central Zone officials of the Ijaw Youth Council, paid him a courtesy visit at his office in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, on Friday.

According to him, the relevance of the Ijaw ethnic nationality as a minority group is being threatened because they don’t exist within one location, except in Bayelsa where their homogeneity is very pronounced.

He urged well-positioned Ijaw sons and daughters to sacrifice for the people and to also place collective interest above personal gains, stressing that differences among Ijaw should not jeopardise their unity.

Jonathan said the INC and the IYC have a huge role to play in ensuring the unity of the Ijaw people, especially among the political class, warning that political contestations must not be allowed to disunite them.

He said, “But the key point about us is the unity of the Ijaw people. And that is key. We are not too many in terms of physical number. We are widely spread, not concentrated in a geographical area, so our relevance is threatened along many states.

“Apart from Bayelsa State where we have a majority or almost the whole population, others are spread thinly (in other states). And a people like this need to be united to make impact. The collective interest of Ijaw should take precedence and people must sacrifice because of the interest of Ijaw land.”

The former President congratulated the INC executives on their successful election and subsequent inauguration, and commended them for the programmes and activities they hold to promote the Ijaw cause.

He also thanked them for the visit and encouraged them to feel free to seek his involvement in any issue, adding that he was ready to play his role in service to Ijaw land.

Earlier, the INC President, Prof. Benjamin Okaba, had expressed gratitude to Jonathan for supporting Governor Douye Diri to ensure a hitch-free election of the apex Ijaw socio-cultural organisation, which had been adjudged to be very free and credible.

Okaba, a professor of Sociology at the Federal University, Otuoke, said his leadership hit the ground running soon after their inauguration on May 14, “to drive the Ijaw agenda for resource justice, restructuring and internalisation of the Ijaw struggle for self-determination and self-actualisation.”

While enumerating some achievements recorded by his leadership, he also informed the former president that the INC was working towards holding an all-Ijaw summit to appraise the Ijaw question and future in the Nigerian State.

  1. Casumon tarjonta jackpoteissa ei ole kovin laaja, mutta toisaalta muiden pelien valikoima paikkaa sitä. Jackpot-peleistä puuttuu esim Megafortune, Hall of Gods jne. Tämä on ehkä yksi kohta, missä kyseisellä nettikasinolla on tulevaisuudessa parantamisen varaa, Casumo seikkailu koostuu pääosin NetEntin peleistä, mikä eittämättä on tällä hetkellä yksi maailman parhaista, ellei paras pelien tuottaja. Muita loisteliaita valintoja ovat muun muassa Microgamingin sekä Play’n Go:n pelit. Pelejä on useampi sata, mutta aivan niin laaja pelivalikoima ei ole, mitä voisi toivoa. Toisaalta kasinon kolikkopeleissä määrä ei aina korvaa laatua, joten asiakkaat ottavat varmasti mieluummin käyttöönsä hieman suppeamman valikoiman huippupelejä kuin valtavan valikoiman surkeita räpellyksiä, joita esimerkiksi jotku Curacaon nettikasinot tarjoavat pelaajilleen. https://actingonaction.com/community/profile/earlenefunnell4/ Tutkimusten mukaan yli puolet casinopelaamisesta tapahtuu nykyään mobiililaitteilla. Tästä syystä todella moni casino tarjoaa vuonna 2021 pelaajilleen erittäin turvalliset ja nopeat talletukset myös mobiilicasinollaan. Pienet 1€-5€ minimitalletukset casinolle onnistuvat myös mobiilisti. Talletusten kohdalla Zimplerin käytöstä on mainittava bonukset. Pääsääntöisesti melkeinpä jokainen nettikasino tarjoaa bonuksia myös Zimpler talletuksille, mutta olemme tässä viime aikoina törmänneet myös sellaisiin sivustoihin, jotka eivät myönnä tervetulotarjouksia Zimplerillä tehdyille talletuksille. Löydät alta kaikki tämän hetken parhaat mobiilitalletus casinot. Kattavien talletusvaihtoehtojen lisäksi kyseiset netticasinot ovat muutenkin erinomainen valinta jokaiselle suomalaiselle casinopelaajalle.

  2. NBA.com is part of Warner Media, LLC’s Turner Sports & Entertainment Digital Network Catch up on all the highlights, analysis and postgame sound from Game 6 of the 2021 NBA Finals. While the sample size is far from set, Irving’s first 32 minutes with the Nets yielded a 29.1% usage rate, 17.4% assist rate, four assists and 22 points. He completed 32 passes in his first action of the season and now gets to face a team in the Trail Blazers that is 29th in defensive rating. The fact he played 32 minutes in his first game is very encouraging as well, and there is little reason to not add in Irving tonight.

I could afford to lose way more than 50-100 per play 3-5k per year…but I don’t like the feeling of losing more than that…took me a while to learn that its just as fun for me to best relatively small than bet big…but sucks to lose big Seems to be a fairly new website, their youtube videos were done recently (5 days ago). Although they appear to be legit, I don’t know what to think without betting there.
