Egbema Ex-Agitators David Osia Defends Otuaro, Responds to Detractors,
By EgbemaVoice,

Hon. David Osia has lauded and extended congratulations to Dennis Otuaro, acknowledging his accomplishments and contributions. 

Hon. David Osia has not only congratulated Dennis Otuaro but also expressed strong support for his role as an administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme. He knocked down critics who have opposed Otuaro’s leadership, emphasizing Otuaro's qualifications and dedication to the peace and development of the Niger Delta region. Osia highlighted Otuaro's commitment to ensuring the programme fulfills its objectives, particularly in promoting peace and rehabilitation for former militants and marginalized communities.

In his remarks, Osia urged detractors to recognize the positive impacts of Otuaro’s administration, stating that Otuaro's efforts have led to significant improvements in the program’s delivery and have brought hope to many in the Niger Delta. He encouraged all stakeholders to rally behind Otuaro, stressing the importance of unity and collective support for the success of the Amnesty Programme.

Hon. David Osia has emphasized that attacking Dennis Otuaro will not lead to any progress in the Niger Delta Presidential Amnesty Programme. He argued that such opposition is counterproductive and detracts from the core mission of the programme, which is to promote peace, rehabilitation, and development in the Niger Delta.

Hon. Osia stressed that Dennis Otuaro’s leadership has already made significant strides in addressing the needs of ex-militants and fostering stability in the region. He encouraged critics to focus on constructive dialogue and collaboration rather than creating divisions, as the success of the Amnesty Programme depends on collective efforts and support from all stakeholders.

By standing behind Otuaro’s administration, Osia believes the Niger Delta will see further advancements in peace-building and socio-economic progress, which are essential for the region's long-term prosperity.

Hon. David Osia expressed frustration over being sidelined in the Presidential Amnesty Programme despite his significant contributions. He revealed that during the third phase of the programme, he and his group dropped thousands of arms and ammunition in a bid to embrace peace. However, he stated that the leadership of the programme has continued to shortchange him and his group, refusing to grant them Amnesty benefits to date.

Hon. Osia criticized the current administration for neglecting those who played a critical role in disarmament and peace-building efforts, stressing that he and his boys have yet to receive the promised amnesty package. He called on the leadership to rectify this injustice and ensure that all those who contributed to the peace process are duly recognized and compensated, warning that ignoring their sacrifice could undermine the progress made in the Niger Delta peace efforts.

Egbesu worshippers, what is Asawana

izonbibiworldwide.wordpress.com WHAT IS ASAWANA?* Ijaw Religious and Cultural Studies *By Apostle Bodmas P. Kemepadei, Son of God* This is associated to " *Egbesu Worship*", although, the word itself, is a corrupted version of the root word " *Ossain/Assain Weni-gha?*", which prompts a response of " *Weni-ghe!*" meaning, *it will move and go with us or be potent*. *Assain*, also *Ossain* means, *Oracle, Amulet or Cosmic Energy related to a supernatural entity or deity*. Today, the word *Ossain* or *Assain-wenigha* has been degenerated into " *Asawana*", a new word entirely, created from the existing old one. The word is a very powerful chant that invokes the divine forces (supernatural presence, light or powers) of " *Egbesu*", as cosmic energy or light of the spiritual nature which helps one to express his/her higher consciousness, thereby liberating the mind from negative thinking; as it instills in the adherents, courage, deter...
