That year, no transport fare—but the journey had to happen.
We mastered the art of hopping onto slow-moving lorries, holding tight through dust and bumps, praying not to be spotted.
Risky? Yes.
But it was survival, street sense, and pure courage. What were your experiences that year?

Minister Inaugurates HYPREP Advisory Committee to Strengthen Ogoni Engagement

The Minister of Environment, Balarabe Abbas Lawal, has sworn in members of the Central Representative Advisory Committee (CRAC) of the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project in Abuja, in a move aimed at enhancing community engagement in Ogoniland.

The newly inaugurated committee is tasked with facilitating dialogue and strengthening communication between HYPREP and host communities, as efforts continue to address environmental degradation in the region.

The committee is led by its spokesperson, Suanu T. Y. Baridam, alongside other prominent traditional rulers and stakeholders drawn from across Ogoni communities.

Speaking shortly after the inauguration, Mrs. Mary Ndume, a retired Deputy Superintendent of Police, expressed appreciation to the minister and the HYPREP Project Coordinator, Nenibarini Zabbey, for her inclusion in the 10-member body. She noted that she was particularly honoured to serve as the only female member of the committee.

The appointments, approved by the HYPREP Governing Council last week, were said to reflect the members’ strong community leadership credentials and deep understanding of Ogoni culture and conflict resolution mechanisms.

Other members of the advisory committee include Samuel L. A. Nnee, Stephen Kpea, J. D. Nkpe, Hyacinth Vibie Leema, Jonathan Mubana, Keeper Gbaranor, Nengu James, and Ehiose Igbinowanhia.

The CRAC is expected to play a pivotal role in ensuring that the voices of host communities are adequately represented in the implementation of HYPREP’s environmental remediation programmes in Ogoniland.

Gokana Council Chairman set rules for the 2026 Naabildee festival.

The Executive Chairman of Gokana Local Government Council, Confidence Nyima Deko, has issued clear guidelines ahead of the 2026 Naabiradee Festival, emphasizing the need for order, safety, and respect for citizens’ rights.
Speaking on Tuesday at the Council Secretariat during a visit by the Amanikpo Cultural Group, the Chairman stated that his administration will enforce all directives without exception, in line with preserving peace and upholding tradition responsibly.
He announced that all festival activities must be conducted strictly between 8:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., describing the time frame as binding and non-negotiable.
In addition, he prohibited the use of public roads for any festival-related activities, warning that the government will not tolerate actions capable of causing unrest or disrupting public order.
The Chairman also cautioned members of the group against intimidation, harassment, or oppression of non-members, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to protecting the rights and freedoms of all residents.
Responding on behalf of the group, the Chairman of the Amanikpo Society in Gokana, Sunny Daasi, assured the council of their full compliance with the directives, pledging to ensure a peaceful and successful 2026 Naabiradee Festival.

CULTURAL IDENTITY AND RESPECT FOR AMANIKPO

Do not allow your religious beliefs to discredit or erase your cultural heritage. Many of the elders who now speak against and criticize Ogoni culture were themselves beneficiaries of its values—values instilled in them by their parents and upheld by generations before them.

It is unfair to rise through the strength of a rich cultural foundation and later turn against it. Culture is not an enemy; it is identity, history, and a guiding system for communal life.
Amanikpo remains the traditional law enforcement institution in Ogoni. It was entrusted by the founding fathers of our communities with the responsibility of maintaining order and discipline. That mandate should be respected. Live in peace with Amanikpo and do not see them as adversaries.
Let's collectively preserve our culture.

Congratulations to the Children of Gberesaakoo as the 2026 Naabiladee Festival begins today, April 21, 2026.
God bless Gokana Kingdom and the entire Ogoni land.💥💥
