Media Activist. Concerned media Activist in Yala local government Area of the Northern senatorial district of Cross river state have appealed to Stakeholders in the Educational sector in the state to come to their aid by renovating and upgrading government owned schools in Yahe community . The affected schools are the St.John primary School and the only government owned secondary Grammar school, the oldest school in the council ward , built through community efforts and changed to Government owned Institutions in the 70s. This came on a hill of a media(Facebook) post by one Mr Adoga Stephen,   an old students of the school crying on the dilapidated buildings which has become a ghost of its self. Signaling on the many reactions from well meaning sons and daughters of the community and old students of the institution that the school need urgent repair seeing the state it is in the picture published.

As the state is prime to start another political journey in no distance time, commentators, analysts, sycophants, gossips, pipers and other political pundits have all developed cold feet to comment on the next plan of actions by the main actors of the game. This is perhaps because a few who are occupying office(s) want to consolidate the position or move to a higher position and majority who are playing behind the scene want to join the caravan. So, some who comment on social issues are aloof because of the fear of the unknown. However, people say : what is constant in life is change.

        -  imaji jio ufumaka =============== Writing a yala story is like writing about the history of languages, beginning with the Tower of Babel in the Christian Holy Book(Bible). Some of my readers have accused me of writing lengthy stuff. I agree. Yet not a few claim that they are compelled by my compelling story spell to read to the end. With all modesty, I say. To both divide, I am both honored and encouraged. But what I often explain to my critics is that most of my writings are essays, based on true happenings. They are not news reels. Neither are they tit-bits. So, tighten up your belt for yet another intellectual & historical drills ! My submission herein is not sacrosanct.  Any one who has a different but concrete opinion should kindly write in. We all learn new things every day ! The Yala people were NOT originally so called. The ogoja people were NOT originally so called, either. Even the Akunakuna people were NOT historically so...

In line with current happenings occasioned with political realities in our dear state, Cross River; in furtherance of peaceful coexisting and for the purpose of entrenching the cardinal principles of law: justice, equity and fairness, that our party — the Young Progressive Party,YPP in the spirit of solidarity has zoned the 2019 governorship slot to the northern senatorial district for the aforementioned reasons. This is eminent because the other senatorial constituencies: south and central have had their uninterrupted eight (8) years each. This resolution was reached in an extraordinary state executive meeting presided by the chairman, Mr. Castro Ezama on Tuesday, January 9, 2018 at the state secretariat, Calabar. Party faithful and the general public should please be informed. Signed... Comr. Ogar,  Emmanuel Oko
