ALAS! THE QUINESSENTIAL GENERAL GOES HOME...

"Good People Die; they often Die before their Time,
But No One seems to care or Wonder why, No One seems to understand...
For those who lived good lives, they rest in PEACE when they Die."
(Isaiah 57:1, 2 NLT)

If Tributes could raise the Dead, General Azazi will be Alive MARCHING On...

As distinguished Nigerians paid their last respect expressing the great loss of A Quintessential GENERAL who touched so many lives, I doubt if there are still any Fine General left in the Nigeria.

According to Gov. Emmanuel Ewetan Uduaghan (CON), Here goes A GENERAL who's Passion for the Betterment of Nigeria made him a "Endangered Specie" as he was greatly misunderstood by Many who couldn't stand his guts...#AsabaDeclaration

Indeed, he was FEARLESS to a Fault... "Even Death cannot Hold him Captive"

A General who always has a Word for every situation & a listening Ear for any Problem.

Azazi over the years have carved a niche for himself as a National Patriarch and Patriot, An Icon whose impact will always be missed as he has always fought for the integration of Nigeria.

A General who has a knack for Perfection "Doing The Right Thing"
A Fine Man, who ll never settle for less as Only the Best is Good enough for the GENERAL

A Friend to Many & Confidant to All.

A Loving Husband to his Wife, Alero & A Doting Dad, Family comes First @ all Times.

No doubt his Legacies will stand Tall despite his demise, and he will be greatly Missed.

Above all these, General puts GOD First in All as he dedicates all his achievement to God.

Short but Swift & impactful Life;

How then can we question God, when in his short stay General Azazi has Done it All...

-First Ijaw General
-First Ijaw Chief of Defense Staff
-First Ijaw Director of Military Intelligence
-First NSA from South-South NIGER DELTA Region


Hmmmm! A Life Well spent

General Owoeye Azazi Finished Work;

ADIEU, Great One!!!




MOA;

MERRY CHRISTMAS & A TRANSFORMED NEW YEAR "2013"

The emergence of the Year 2012 brought high HOPES for us all as a Nation, Hopes of a better Economy anchored on Infrastructure, Power, Agriculture and Security.

Truly it was a decisive adventure as we succeeded despite the Challenges & Setbacks that befell the Nation Nigeria,
Yet We never despaired.

There were Ups and Downs which could be categorized as both Man-Made and Natural occurrences, we had our Wailing moments. Tears flowed for some but still Our UNITY was never compromised instead our bond grew.
Even in the worst situation and atmosphere ever Phenomenal and Unprecedented Achievements were recorded in President Jonathan’s Transformation Agenda with the revamping of the Agricultural, Transportation #Railway, YOUWIN and other vital Sectors of the Nigerian Economy. And the reigning PEACE in Niger Delta
As the Year 2012 rolls out into a New Year it is very imperative we put up the Patriotic and Optimistic spirit in anticipation of a Better 2013 as President Jonathan has promised more dividends of Democracy right at Our Doorsteps.

For it is so pertinent to note that We may not have achieved Our desired height as a Nation but the fact remains that we are a Million Miles ahead of Our Yesterday with Tomorrow holding a better prospects 2013

Wishing Nigerians a Merry Christmas and A TRANSFORMED New Year in Advance,


MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

THE NATION MOURNS....Jonathan in deep SHOCK!

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the Death of His SERVANTS...
(Psalm 116:15 NKJV).

Indeed it was a BLOODY WEEKEND... to lose two Great Men at a blow is not an issue to dress with Political Icing, hence the death of Governor Patrick Yakowa & General Awoye Azazi came as a very Big Blow to many and cannot be undermined nor politicized.

The PEACE Loving Governor of Kaduna State, Patrick Yakowa is One Man Nigeria cannot forget in a hurry for his Humane disposition, Bridge Builder amongst other virtues which has over the years endeared him to the Peoples hearts. Hence they describe him as an An Encyclopedia of knowledge... and tagged him The " SERVICE MAN" because of his Wealth of Experience in Good Governance, A LOYALIST to the Core...with PEACE as his Agenda
He was a GOOD MAN...

Our own brother General Andrew Owoye Azazi (Rtd) was another Top echelon of command especially now that Nigeria is faced with Security challenges, A Fmr. NATIONAL SECURITY Adviser, though he was removed from Office as NSA enhnnn? So What? it's no long News, in the course of Duty there are bound to be heat from all corners by those who cannot quench your Fire... But His Records will speak for him, Only recently "THE 4STAR GENERAL" was again appointed to head BAYELSA State Post Flood Committee to tap from his profound Wealth of experience. He can be best described as A GENTLE MAN

AGREED! Nigeria in recent times has been plagued with diverse tribulations therefore, the time is now to come together as One NATION to GOD in Prayer 2 SAVE NIGERIA.

...for the BOOK of LAMENTATION was never Written because of Nigeria.

In a swift reaction, Nigeria President GOODLUCK Jonathan in deep sorrow heartily regrets this monumental loss of the Nation, expressing His heartfelt condolence to the families of the deceased, and the Government of the affected States.

Jonathan said; "The sudden loss of these distinguished Nigerians is extremely painful".

Eternal Rest Grant unto them o Lord....and Let Perpetual LIGHT Shine upon them.

"REST IN PEACE" Amen!

Ex-Militants DAZZLE South Africa...Employed as PILOTS & FLIGHT Instructors

As part of efforts by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan stabilize the known PEACE in the Niger-Delta Region through the instrumentality of the Presidential AMNESTY Program headed by Hon. Kingsley Kuku,

The Region can now boast of Credible, Responsible and Resourceful YOUTHS who were once agitators in the Creeks of the Niger-Delta.


A recent remarkable feat was recorded when a Team of Ex-Niger Delta Militants who were sent for Training at an AVIATION College in South-Africa graduated with high flying Grades and were further employed as Commercial Pilots & Aviation Instructors respectively.

No doubt these are Signs & Legacies of Transformation Initiatives with the Amnesty Program achieving its Vision and Goals of Establishment.

INDEED! It's pertinent to state here that "Niger Delta Youths are not LAZY nor RESTIVE as widely claimed but bundles of Talent waiting for the right opportunity to showcase their God given Talent like their counterparts in other spheres of life as witnessed in South Africa"

Below is a detailed story as reported by ThisDay Live..


MOA,


Chinedu Eze
Some ex-militants from the Niger Delta region who were taken to South Africa to train as pilots under the Federal Government’s Amnesty programme performed so well that some of them were employed and are operating as commercial pilots in that country while others became instructors in the training institute where they graduated.
This was in addition to the 170 youths from the region who were earlier employed in different countries where they underwent their skill acquisition training and higher education.
This was disclosed on Monday night, by Reuben Wilson, who led a team of former agitators back to Nigeria after they had received leadership training in South Africa on non-violent and business development.

DELTA "RULES" NATIONAL SPORTS FESTIVAL #EKO 2012 WARRI NO DEY CARRY LAST!

Back in the DAYS of Old BENDEL...

SPORTS has since been the most viable platform for Social Reorientation and Reformation of the minds of Our Youths taking advantage of their Natural Endowment No Wonder subsequent Governors way-back since the days of Dr Samuel Osiagbovwo Ogbemudia former Governor of Bendel State emphasized the need to invest & promote Sport in the State through Annual Spots Festivals, Camp Meetings, Inter- House Sports and Scholarships Programmes for Best Sport Students.


SPORTS was the most used medium to engage & Transformed the lives of the YOUTHS in the then Mid-West Region now South-South

Since then DELTA STATE has been in the lead of Sports in Nigerian Hence the slang "Warri No dey carry last"

Therefore, it didn't come as surprise to many when the Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Ewetan Uduaghan (CON) been a WARRI BOY who was once a beneficiary of this great sporting pedigree #GOVT COLLEGE WARRI left no stone unturned in preparing "TEAM DELTA" for the on-going 18TH NATIONAL SPORTS FESTIVAL "EKO 2012" in Lagos to rekindle the FLAMES and ginger Team Delta you already know "WARRI NO DEY CARRY LAST"

Thus, the Presence of the Sport Loving Governor no doubt "Gingered" the Spirits of the Athletes as they won a Gold Medal even in his presence, he could be recalled that before his arrival the athletes were not doing too good in the Weight Lifting Final Match but his arrival brought the MIDAS TOUCH.

Over the Years Delta State has been earmarked as Brain behind Sporting Events in the Country as the States invest hugely on her Sport Annually, by sponsoring most of her Athletes for Professional Training abroad. while the State also spend a lot in Hosting National and Continental Competitions all for the development of her Sport.

Obviously Delta State is setting the pace for a Reformed Sporting Nation and we will definitely get there...

Delta will rule Eko 2012, Uduaghan declares
on DECEMBER 2, 2012 · in SPORTS
12:41 am

Delta State has taken the driver’s seat at the Eko 2012 National Sports Festival and an elated governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan declared during a surprise visit to Delta State contingent in Lagos, that Delta will win the sports fiesta hands down and dethrone boastful Rivers State.

“With God on our side, we hope to win this festival. We have done our estimation and we know the number of gold medals our athletes can win,”said Dr. Uduaghan at the University of Lagos camp of the athletes.

PRAY FOR NIGERIA_JONATHAN CALL

Its Not by MIGHT, Nor by POWER, But by My SPIRIT saith The LORD,


Indeed the HOUR has come for Nigerians to Pray for Our Nation knowing fully well that without GOD there shall be No TRANSFORMATION... and especially now that the "HEAD" President GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN is calling on All Nigerians to Pray urging Nigerians to emulate the selflessness exemplified by Christ, saying that the Nation can only attain the lofty heights, which Almighty God through Nigeria's rich Natural ENDOWMENTS & Human Resource base has preordained for it,
"If ONLY Nigerians as individuals are prepared to make the requisite Sacrifice."

Thus, Championing Narrow Sectional Causes would not add value to National Development efforts.

No doubt, the JONATHAN-led Administration was Voted into Office #2011 by overwhelming majority of Nigerians that cut across Ethnic, Social, Cultural & even beyond Political Barriers, Then it's Our collective responsibility to support this Administration & Make it WORK!

BEHOLD! in a time like this when President Jonathan has conceded that neither He nor other Members of Government are the BEST Materials for the Leadership Job of Our Great Country NIGERIA but since God has Chosen him ,

JONATHAN Shall Not Fail...

EX -AGITATORS Impress Late Martin LUTHER KING JR'S Compatriot in South Africa

The Dividends/Gains of the implementation & sustenance of the Presidential AMNESTY Program is no doubt taking its footstool amongst the Ex-Agitators as their TRANSFORMATION is A Feat to behold...


Its No Longer News that they have metamorphosed into "GOODWILL" Ambassadors for Nigeria in recent times as they perform Excellently well in their places of Training both in Nigeria and abroad.

A Testimonial of this enviable Feat was indeed witnessed @ KINGIAN Non-Violence/Leadership and Business Development Training in South Africa organised for prominent Members and Leaders of the Ex-Agitators. A Program designed to Train, Educate, Orientate and Re-integrate them as Good Citizens of Nigeria and also to inculcate Great Leadership qualities in them. And their outstanding performance and level of understanding marvelled Dr Bernard Lafayette Jr. and other Organisers of the Workshop.

In his Words DR. LAFAYETTE: "I'm very impressed with your understanding of the concept of non-violence. You have all shown a very good grasp of the training you have received in just the first day. With what I see in these Young men, There's HOPE for Nigeria.

"Already, I'm considering asking some of you to become Trainers in Non-Violence Principles (Another Post-Training Engagement Prospect, What that means is that you will join me to take this message to other parts of Africa and the World”

Our own Nigerian participants made Excellent contributions and were accorded Great Regards with much Encomiums & Applauds.

More Report Soon.
