PEACE MASS TRANSIT STARTS ASSEMBLING HIS OWN FLEET IN ENUGU

Peace Mass Transit Launches 100 Brand New Buses

Peace Mass Transit (PMT) Limited, the leading mini-bus transport company in the country, has readied a total of 100 brand new buses for injection into its fleet.

The buses are all products of newly established PMT Vehicle Assembly Plant, located within the Emene Industrial Layout headquarters of the company.

PMT Executive Director in charge of operations,Enete Ifeanyi Henry Clinton disclosed that the new buses would be assigned to drivers and  has already being deployed to all the PMT depots across the country.

More emphasis was placed on Calabar depot as the highly busy depot was given more buses from the newly injected 100 buses. 

Peace Mass Transit has an active fleet of 4,000 buses with at least 2,000 on the road daily. It regularly freshens up the fleet to meet customer expectations and also maintain its market leadership.

The launch of the 100 units of designer Peace Hiace is coming at a time most transport companies are closing down altogether, making losses and/or resorting to using of fairly used (Tokunbo) vehicles. There are no ‘’tokunbo’’ buses in the entire PMT fleet.

PMT Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Samuel Maduka Onyishi, maintains he runs the company as a “ministry” and not strictly as a business, and would, always do what it takes to keep the company as an industry leader, at all times.

“The brand new buses we are injecting cost almost N 17 million per unit, but I have a pact with both God and our huge clientele to offer the best possible services at all, times,” he stated after inspecting the newly assembled buses on Monday.

Customers are encouraged to book online through www.pmt.ng, or visit our website –peacegroup.ng

Chief Onyishi, Member of the Order of the Niger (MON) expressed gratitude to God and also to Nigerians who have trusted the brand (PMT) for over 20years. He urged them to keep their faith in the company and promised to always deliver beyond their expectations. 

“Our customers deserve even more and no less,” he added. “We will never take their patronage for granted because they have brought us this far.”
He reiterated that the introduction of the new buses was a “strategic fleet rejig” and in no way signified or suggested older vehicles had any maintenance issues or were about to be discarded.

“Our maintenance culture is top-notch and the team is manned by technicians and engineers some of whom were trained abroad. 

All PMT vehicle plying the highway, are regularly checked for maintenance, to avoid breakdown. All our vehicles run on strong quality tires which are replaced upon attainment of a certain mileage.’’

Special, distinguishing features of the new buses include, but not limited to EBS/ABS brake system combined, digital dashboard, factory-fitted speed limiter, on-board TV, and DVC player for customers’ non-stop pleasure.
According to the Executive Director, Ifeanyi, ‘’Multiple charging points and luggage controls are being provided, with all the buses fully air-conditioned, which includes protective seat belts for all passengers. 

Free Wi-Fi services for passengers are still in the works..

INSECURITY IN ENUGU STATE,CROWD RENTING & THE CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE:By Fr. Ike Odigbo Ph.D

Insecurity in Enugu State, Crowd Renting and The Conspiracy of Silence

By Fr. Ike Odigbo 

On thursday 1st August 2019 Fr. Paul Offu was murdered in Awgu area of Enugu State, an event which sparked off series of events of unprecedented proportion. Fellow priests took to the streets in solidarity to protest the high level of insecurity of lives and properties in Enugu State. Earlier in March Fr. Clement Ugwu was murdered in his parish in Ezeagu. Another priest Fr. Paulinus Ilo was ferociously attacked by gunmen. He is still in hospital. 

It is not just about priests. Scores of men and women are being daily hunted and killed. We all get updates on social media from victims and eyewitnesses of the deplorable condition of security in Enugu. Just a day after Fr. Paul was killed news went round of the kidnap of the traditional ruler of Umuobom community in Agbogugu, the same axis where the priest was killed. 


On August 8 2019, news and pictures flooded the internet of Traditional Rulers in Enugu giving a resounding vote of confidence on Enugu State Governor Mr Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi. It is only one week since Fr. Paul Offu was killed and hasn't yet been laid to rest when the so-called royal fathers are  displaying this show of shame. It is a conspiracy of silence by those who should rise to speak for their people.

Truth is that anybody who pretends that there is peace and security in Enugu is telling a huge lie. People are living on edge. Of the entire five States of the South East, Enugu is now the most insecure. No day passes without news of people being killed, robbed, kidnapped, hunted and raped. The governor knows this. The traditional rulers know this. They are merely on a shoddy game of face-saving. They are living in denial. 

The action of these traditional rulers is a correct reflection of the shape of Nigerian politics. Rather than rise up to solve social problem, politicians spend vast amount of human and financial resources to cover it up. They fail in their duty. Then they buy-out those who would speak out and then the problem incubates and grows to out of proportion. It is the same attitude in education, health, roads and now security. But because security is very sensitive, it is the most inflamable of all, because it is about life and death. 

It is a shame that Governor Ugwuanyi prefers image laundering than rising to his duty. He has this irritating habit of renting crowds to sing his praise. Of course he knows, that everybody knows, that it is quite easy to assemble all the royal fathers in a giffy. Its very simple. Just dole out cash and get then to violate their oaths and compromise their integrity, men who should be honest and upright. But that has been his tactics in the last four years: with teachers, civil servants, pensioners. Traditional rulers are in the payroll of government, so naturally they lose their independence. Hunger and abuse have made our people, usually honourable, to lose their shame. He who pays the piper they say dictates the tune.

These traditional rulers are also under strict instructions by the governor not to 'disturb' the peace of fulani herdsmen who live in the bushes of Enugu State. They are to restrain their people from any possible confrontation with the fulani. Whoever fails to live up to this will be deposed. In other words, the traditional rulers are indirectly selling out their own people while pretending to defend them. News is everywhere of their dealings with fulani men. But that's a story for another day. Its the character of Nigerian politicians, the traditional rulers and town union executives now also have the virus. 


Anyone who thinks what am saying here, that traditional rulers are under firm control of the governor, is fictitious should recall what happened in Nenwe months back. Nenwe youths mustered the courage to drive away fulani people and their cattle. The video was trending online. The next day, the traditional ruler of Nenwe in a press briefing at which the governor himself and representatives of the fulani cattle rearers were present, publicly denounced the action of Nenwe Youths. Governor himself spoke. 

The impression being created is that everything is ok. But nothing is farther from the truth. Had it been that the Nenwe example was not denounced and criminalized, that is, the eviction of troublesome fulani, it would have been a worthy template for other communities. But here we are, back to square one. But its good for the governor to know that indeed things are not ok. People of Enugu State and those who live and do business within it are in danger and the evidence is there for anyone to see. 

It is arguable that next to Benue, Enugu has borne more of the brunt of fulani herdsmen attack. While all the states that are facing this insecurity problem are adopting a combative approach, Enugu is living in denial. Anti open-grazing law should have been passed. Same with anti-kidnapping law. Regular denunciation of herdsmen antics in strong terms and outright rejection of Ruga or related fulani gimmicks should be coming from the governor. He should copy Dave Umahi or Yesom Wike. He should speak out because it weakens the enemy and makes his own citizens strong and confident. Now, we are a laughing stock. 
Gossip is making the round that the governor is intentionally towing the line of political correctness due to personal reasons. He wants to continue to the senate after his governorship, to complete his political round-trip. He doesn't want the harassment of EFCC when he leaves office. His personal ambitions is not my problem, but the insecurity in Enugu. The way he is going, with rising insecurity in the land, I doubt if he will complete this second term. 

This write up is not a general assessment of the governor. It is strictly on security. The people want to be safe. Or at least they want to see the governor, the chief security officer, doing something tangible. Crowd renting does not solve problem. It worsens it by creating false hope. Its like dressing and bandaging an infected wound. What you get is puss and gangrene. When there is no security there is no peace and there is no rest. We as priests are on the side of the people and we live up to our duty when we remind the governor to do his job. But if the people can't get peace, why should the governor expect to have it?

OBIJIAKUSONS RUGA...SOME.QUESTIONS

UNMASKING THE RUGA PROJECT OF  OBIJACKSON IN OKIJA, ANAMBRA STATE.

We have closely followed up and painstakingly watched the movements of Obijackson a Son of Okija Community and the Chairman of NestOil for couple of months now, and we can confidently confirm to you that this man is an Agent of Federal Government assigned a duty by the Fulani Cabal to;

1. Acquire massive lands from Communities in  disguise for Ruga
2. Build and handover to the Terrorist Fulani Herdsmen for settlement around Southeastern States

Without fear or favor, we wish to make it known that Obijackson in the past months, has acquired massive hectares of lands running into thousands. This lands are inside Southeast Forest areas and forcefully taken without the consent of the Communities.
His first place of conquest was Ubahu Ofe mmiri, Okija.

Next was Ogheregbu Okija. In this Community he forcefully took over 500 hectares of land and the Building plan shows that he is going to build over 650 structures with Schools from tertiary to University level, Hospitals, Banks, Markets, Civic centers, Police station etc with great road network and every basic amenities provided. The Express road connecting to this settlement has already kicked off with work going on very speedily.

In trying to achieve this, he destroyed farms and cash crops belonging to land owners. Under the supervision of Obijackson, old women and youths are molested because they tried to challenge the encroachment and destruction of their farms.

A close look at this project, one needs no soothsayer to affirm that this is exactly the structure of RUGA as published by Shehu Garba, President Buhari's Spokesperson.

In the past days, Obijackson has moved into Umuhu Community and there is a fight amongst the people, some sensing that he has ulterior motive while others simply don't care.
Obijackson moves around all these areas with armed military men harassing and intimidating the owners of the Land.

Questions that are begging for answers are;

• Whose Children is Obijackson building schools inside the forest areas for?
• Who is he expecting to use Civic centers built inside the forest area?

• Who intends to use the Banks and Police stations located  inside this forest areas?

• Why is Obijackson providing every basic amenities for this new town inside the Forest, when he has not provided one for his Community that lacks every basic social amenities?

We appeal to every sensible Igbo man in places of authority to take this matter up and stop Obijackson before he settles the Terrorists into Ala-Igbo.

Udo diri ndi choro udo.

TINUBU SUGGESTS FOSARANTI KILLERS COULD BE IGBO KIDNAPPERS & NOT HERDSMEN

Nnamdi Kanu blasts Tinubu...

You cannot sacrifice the blood of your brethren on the shrine of your greed, conceit and unbridled 2023 presidential political ambition. You are a disgrace to the noble Yoruba ancestry. You allow your self-centred avarice and ego to stifle the aspirations and destiny of your people.

I must remind you today that your Fulani masters will never do for you what you are slavishly doing for them. You know in your heart of hearts that murderous Fulani herdsmen are culpable in the brutal murder of a Yoruba daughter and that Igbos had no hand in the Ore Highway Massacre. An influential Yoruba newspaper (PUNCH) reported that nearby villagers, who are Yorubas, informed police that the killer Fulani herdsmen have their base in a nearby forest. These are eye witness account from Yoruba people living in the surrounding areas where the tragic incident occurred. Or are you saying the villagers can no longer distinguish between a gun wielding Fulani terrorist and an Igbo man?

Your unguarded utterances only succeeded in doing more harm to the Fosaranti family, insulting  the memory of their daughter and will be seen for what it is, an affront to the dignity of the Yoruba race. You are a  Fulani Lackey!!!

Reacting further, Kanu said; The fate of Afonja and loss of Illorin a Yoruba territory to the Fulani conquistadors in years gone by should have taught you and your likes a bitter historical lesson but it seems you are hell-bent on repeating the mistakes of the past.

You are devoid of shame, honour and dignity which are the hallmarks of a true statesman. The Fulani that you serve so foolishly will never shed one drop of Fulani blood for an indimi like you. They will never concede “their” Presidency to a lewd unequal.

To them you are another camouflage muslim, a filthy infidel from the south, a contaminated version of Islam not worthy to be seen or regarded as an equal. Have you ever wondered why no Yoruba Muslim including yourself can never be allowed to lead a Jummat prayer in any mosque in the north?

Because you, along with other Yoruba Muslim are not and can never be considered equal to your  Fulani counterparts. Is it not a shame that Yorubas like yourself submit to the authority of the Sultan of Sokoto as the supreme leader of Muslims in Nigeria in perpetuity, yet no Yoruba man will ever occupy that throne. So you see, you will remain their slave forever and ever.

Quislings like you in the service of Fulani Caliphate abound in Igboland too, but we continue to expose, ridicule and sanction them because we are ever conscious of the consequences of their actions on present and future generations. The Fulani killing machine you serve so slavishly will continue to Taqiyya you and dangle the fruit of a false presidential promise like a receding mirage. Your hatred for Igbo people will precipitate the downfall of the Yoruba race unless you are stopped. Mark my word!!!

BRING BACK IGBO 'RUGAs' NOW

Bring Back Igbo "Rugas" Now  by Aniedobe


My grandfather, 1895 to 1985, worked as interpreter for ndiocha at Nkwere Farm Settlement in Anambra State in the 1940s. It is now defunct.

My father worked as an Electrical Engineer at Nkalagu Cement Factory but as a kid who grew up in Nkwere farm settlement, the farm settlement mentality never left him. He was full time civil servant and part time farmer.

He cultivated everything we ate from melon to okra to vegetables to corn to yam. We had a poultry of over 1000 birds. We sold okuko and eggs. We also raised ewu Igbo. At some point, we had over 200 goats.  He was a one man farm settlement.

Our house at Nkalagu was paradisaical. We were surrounded by the best species of cashew, mango, guava, sugar cane, oloma. We had a mini plaintain plantation. Banana was everywhere. And our house was lined by hibiscus flowers.

My father couldn't have done it without Ezilo farm settlement about 20 miles from Nkalagu.

Like Nkwere farm settlement, Ezilo farm settlement was an agricultural settlement complete with farms, poultry, ehi Igbo, ewu, vegetables, fruit trees, and worker's quarters. Just like my grandfather lived and raised his kids at Nkwere farm settlement, farm workers also lived with their families at Ezilo farm settlements.

Anyone could stop by to buy  goats and ehi or yam or whatever they had to sellat the farm settlements.

But their mission was even greater than that. Working with the Departments of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicines in the University of Nigeria,  the farm settlements were a repetoir of best practices and reservoir of best cultivars and species.

We got our guava and mangoes and cashews seedlings and Popo and other fruits from the farm settlements. My father trusted their brand as the best.

A worker from there visited and administered antibiotics to our chicken in the poultry. He helped us set it up and mentored to us in the poultry business.

Whenever my father had any questions, he went to Ezilo farm settlement to get expert advice.

For instance, there was a time when our goats shrank in number due to high mortality. Disease was wiping them out. No apparent reason. Emma, a farm settlement worker came to our rescue. Too much inbreeding he stated Emma brought nkpi from farm settlement and our goat population revived. From then on, we began to hire nkpi from the farm settlement for genetic diversity.

What happened to these brilliant concepts called farm settlements? 

They all died. Too much politics. State creations  displaced many trained workers and replaced them with state indigenes who didn't know their left from their right. Crude oil killed the rest. It was easier to collect rent from the center than to grow a viable economy.  So those farm settlements died.

During Okpara regime and even Ukpabi Asika regime, civil servants were encouraged to farm. Food was abundant. Ehi Igbo was available. Farm settlements were very much part of the local economy. Ndigbo were food sufficient.

And then things fell apart.

Today ndi Fulani are trying to Rugarize us all because we killed our own Rugas.

It is time to bring back Igbo Rugas. Farming is big business. Let's learn our lessons and get right back into it. Every local government in Igboland should have a farm settlement starting from yesterday.  In addition to raising our own ehi, ewu and okuko, a trillion naira business by the way, vegetable oil from aku is one of the highest prized vegetable oils. Cassava flour in America is priced like gold. We were once the fastest growing economy in the world. Today, we live in fear of losing our homelands all because we can't stop eating ehi Fulani and start feeding ourselves.

THE IGBO NATION INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT AGENDA.

OHANEZE NDI IGBO SHOULD BECOME MORE FOCUSED AND PRAGMATIC IN DRIVING THE IGBO NATION INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT AGENDA.

It is over a year now since Ohaneze Ndi Igbo announced the establishment of a committee and secretariat led by the irrepressible Professor Chukwuma Soludo and Mao Ohuabunwa to help drive the Igbo upnation integrated economic development master plan. 

However, since the inauguration of that committee and secretariat, we are yet hear or read much from them about their Igbo nation regional economic integration programs and agenda. We are yet to see any properly articulated concrete, time-lined and measurable projects design, structuring, funding and implementation strategy in the various sectors they listed on the day of their inauguration.
We have not seen or read again any further arrangements, strategy or tactical initiatives to ensure the infrastructure, political and socioeconomic integration plans for the Igbo nation.

WAY FORWARD:
It will be in the best interests of the Igbo nation for Ohaneze Ndi Igbo to maintain a 24/7 functional and fully funded secretariat that is staffed/ manned by top notch / highly knowledgeable development economists and professionals versed in designing, structuring and funding variant models of PPP projects/infrastructure development initiatives for Ala Igbo. 

This secretariat working with the Soludo led committee will develop a medium to long term multi-sectorial infrastructure and economic development partnership blue print for the states that have significant Igbo population under robust and properly defined PPP arrangements. 

The blueprint shall contain holistically/comprehensively what we plan to do, how to do it, when to do it, what resources required to do it, how to source for those resources, stakeholders to be involved and responsibilities and integrated partnership roles expected from our state governors. 
Ohaneze Ndi Igbo must design very transparent and accountable ways of funding this secretariat and her other activities. 

For instance, how do link up the whole of the Igbo nation from Asaba to Igwe Ocha via Onitsha-Awka-enugu Abakiliki-okigwe-umuahia-aba and via Onitsha-owerri –mbaise-obowo to Umuahia. Via Owerri to Igwe Ocha by Rail?. How do we ring-fence Ala Igbo via well planned/laid out rail infrastructure development master plan that is PPP driven.

How do we develop new roads or expand the existing road networks across the Igbo nation to become world class?
How do we deepen the exploration and processing of the natural resources that the Igbo nation is blessed with, eg. Coal, Lead, Oil and Gas, Gypsum, barite, clay, limestone etc.? 
How do we bring the consular presence of the US, UK, EU, China, etc into Enugu and Owerri? It does not make sense for my aged mum to travel to Lagos or Abuja for her visa and immigration needs, when she can secure such services in Owerri or Enugu. 

How do we create truly international sea and air gateways in and out of the Igbo nation?  It does not make sense for my aged mum to fly to Lagos before she can get a British airways or Air Peace flight to the UK or US or Dubai. It does not make much sense. When should we have this implemented and how and what resources/partnerships do we need? 

How do create industrial hubs and clusters in Ala Igbo to ensure that we become the integrated, commercial, trading, manufacturing and industrial hub for sub-Sahara Africa , following the signing of the Africa Free Trade Agreement, AFTA by Nigeria? 

How do we support our entrepreneurial brothers, who practically imports every consumable and hardware items into Nigeria to get their global suppliers and vendors from Europe, America and Asia to set up factories for the manufacturing of those same commodities in Ala Igbo under robust MPPP arrangements? 

What enabling business and investor friendly arrangements do we put in place in Ala Igbo?

How do we support the vision of buy and patronize Igbo nation manufactured products first before others, just like the Jews? 

How do we make the Igbo nation the Health, Education and Entertainment Tourism Capital of Africa? 

How do we develop other critical sectors like Power, ICT hubs, Housing in Ala Igbo in very integrated and holistic sense?

How and what do we do to protect Ala Igbo from enemies within and external. Ensure and make Ala Igbo the most secure region in Africa?

How do create and develop a leadership selection/succession culture in Ala Igbo that puts the best, most selfless, most creative , most passionate and honest amongst us into leadership positions  to help us drive the Igbo renaissance ?

How do we restore to its full glory the long fading Igbo culture and tradition of industry, hard work, enterprise and loathe for evil and stealing.  It used to be the most shameful thing in Ala Igbo to be tagged “Nwanne Onye Oshi” or “Nwanne onye aka na akpa or nnapu”, not to talk of being the thief yourself. 
How do we restore our lost glories as the greatest and most progressive/enterprising ethnic nation created by CHUKWU OKIKE ABIAMA.? 

Ohaneze Ndi Igbo, led by Dr Nnia Nwodo must never drop the ball. This is the time to rise up and galvanize our people. Sustained enlightenment, consultations, reach out, reconciliations, and practical works are needed now.  He must drive the vessel with utmost focus, consistency and uncompromising boldness. This is not the time to park the car to take a nap. 

We are facing very tough existential threats today, just akin to what we faced between 1966 to 1970.  That Ohaneze Secretariat must work and work for 24/7, churning out ideas and pursuing it to execution working with all stakeholders within and without. 

God Bless Ala Igbo
