Beating Covid-19 in Rivers State Nigeria.

Parts of Port Harcourt, in Rivers State Nigeria are already"enjoying" Total- Lockdown or  is it 24Hours Curfew,for over a week now - for the rest of  the good folks of Port Harcourt City and the  Obio-Apkor LGA's (Local Councils) about to join us on Thursday 7th May 2020- Welcome!

Guess it's not easy for everyone including the Government at this time, however we all need to now make this sacrifices now and stay at home to help contain the virus from spreading further and hopefully soon and gradually, life can start returning back to normal.



So am guessing you probably already stocking up on food stuffs, drinking water,etc  since the lockdown is not a definite one like those in Lagos & Abuja that's now just been eased,starting today. 4th May 2020.

Here's some heads-up, buy "Fuel" , whether its petrol,diesel,kerosene or what ever your private power generation station aka Generator runs on, - top it up and ONLY! if you can safely store,then you probably should get enough to last you another week,if you can't safely store,just top up your electric Generator,and hope for the best.

(Warning do not store flammable liquids unsafely)



Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHED) just might surprise you seriously,if they are not already surprising you..

PHED  has been acting crazy before a Lock-down was imposed on our part of the city,so one would expect since we trapped in 24/7, they should at least not make the lock down any more unpleasant with too many frequent &long power outages.

No PHED, they have gone from crazy  to full Craze! 🥴 now that they know we are on a 24hours lockdown.

Anyway just "be Prepared" it might be just 3days lockdown or a 3weeks lockdown who knows, it's not fun trying to sweet talk police & army men at different roadblocks, just because you need to go out and buy a basic necessity like fuel.

Its A Matter of Cash

On the 20th of Jan 2009, i watched on as million and millions of Americans all celebrated one thing HOPE!, and change that lies in horizon, and from my room I wondered will our home land Nigeria ever have something to celebrate about, even if its just change, a change in the right direction. Below is an article written in response to CNN's NIGER DELTA, Planet in Peril,  by a friend of mine,  Comfort Olubo Umaru  a lawyer based in Abuja Nigeria. IT’S A MATTER OF CASH. by  Comfort Olubo Umaru As an avid reader, a former resident of the area and concerned citizen, it would be remiss of me not to start any discussion on the Nigerian Niger Delta with one name. Kenule Saro Wiwa. As a child my favorite TV show was Bassey and Co. This was a screen adaptation of plays written by Ken Saro Wiwa. It was about a wise cracking young man called Bassey and his friend Alale and their varied antics. The show was all about their varied attempts to ev...

2023 into 2024 God's Goodness

2023 it is ending and Thank God, it's NOT the End. Am grateful for the year, goods immeasurable grace and mercies on me. Am trying to reminisce 2023 in my mind's eye as far back as I can possibly remember.  I started the year slowly focused and knowing the things I needed to get done at least for the first quarter. In hindsight now I can say it all worked out really well, at least until it all went crazy.  The national elections came, and I fought, I voted and hoped for a better government to take over at the national level, yet it was stolen right before our very eyes both at the state and national levels.  On a very deep level this crushed hope, that flicker of hope that Nigeria as a country would turn a corner for good this time. Unfortunately not only that the elections was  stolen but it was done in the most brazen, crude and evil manner.  Every institution of state was and is now captured by a thieving political establishment.  It's taken some time bu...

Power of Social Media

So we approaching the last weeks in July 2015, am setting up and trying to know what it feels like working from my new office space within the GRA ( government reserved area) of the city of Port Harcourt, Rivers State Nigeria. A key question for me is, how will I sort out my lunch daily? because it seems like getting lunch is going to be a challenge. As far as I know there are no eateries offering food delivery service in GRA Port Harcourt, unlike in Lagos my office is located in the hub of business Victoria island where its common place to find a range of eateries, pizza joint etc, all offering delivery services. Thank God for google I decided to do quick search online and voilà,! I found Chicken Republic in Port Harcourt. They now offer delivery to some locations in the city and they cover the GRA where my office in Port Harcourt is located. I placed a call to what seems like a central line for all Chicken Republic orders, the customer service center staffs was nice and well...
