PRESS RELEASE BOKI MEDIA FORUM WHEN FARMS BECOME FIELDS OF FEAR Once upon a time, our fathers feared wild animals in the forest. Today, it appears the greatest fear is meeting fellow human beings. In a sad twist of our collective reality, a man who simply went to his farm in Boje Ward in search of his daily bread has instead become another painful reminder that life has become frighteningly cheap. What a tragic achievement for a society that ought to be known for its rich culture, peaceful coexistence, and communal brotherhood. Have we now reached the point where farms - symbols of life, hard work, and sustenance - are transformed into scenes of bloodshed? If this is the direction we are headed, then every hoe, cutlass, and basket carried to the farm may soon be mistaken for a farewell message. Boki Media Forum strongly condemns this senseless and unfortunate murder. No grievance, misunderstanding, or communal disagreement can ever justify the taking of human life. Violence only deepen...

BOKI COMMUNITIES MUST ADOPT THE FOLLOWING LOCAL/TRADITIONAL MEASURES TO END THE MENACE OF DRUG ABUSE AMONG OUR YOUTHS ~ Frmr Leader of Boki Legislature•

By -
Image
Hon. Amos Otu  1. SENSITIZE YOUTHS ON THE DANGERS OF DRUG ABUSE: Student unions, churches, parents, community leaders, and peer groups should make it their responsibility to continuously educate Boki youths on the harmful effects of drug abuse, how it has already affected many young people, and the danger it poses to future generations. 2. OSTRACIZE THOSE WHO SELL THESE DRUGS: Communities that are serious about eliminating drug abuse should enact and enforce local laws prohibiting the sale of illicit drugs and harmful substances. Anyone found selling these drugs should be sanctioned and ostracized by the community.  3. OSTRACIZE THOSE WHO REFUSE TO ABSTAIN FROM DRUG ABUSE: Likewise, youths who continue to abuse drugs despite repeated sensitization and warnings should face appropriate community sanctions, including ostracism where it is consistent with local laws and human rights.  Such measures should be aimed at protecting the wider community, encouraging rehabilitation,...

WE DESERVE BETTER REPRESENTATION: THE CALL FOR A NEW DIRECTION IN OBUBRA/ETUNG

By -
Image
In recent times, conversations across Obubra and Etung Local Government Areas have increasingly centered on one key issue—the need for more effective, people-focused representation that reflects the true aspirations of the grassroots. Among the voices shaping this renewed conversation is Prince Emmanuel Awubi, whose message resonates strongly with many community members who feel that the time has come for a more responsive and development-driven approach to leadership. For many residents across the two LGAs, there remains a lingering feeling of being unheard, unseen, and underserved. These concerns are not abstract—they reflect everyday realities: Poor and neglected rural roads Limited opportunities for farmers and traders Youth unemployment and rising frustration Communities struggling with basic infrastructure These challenges have fueled a deeper demand for leadership that is not distant, but present, engaged, and accountable. Prince Emmanuel Awubi has continued to empha...

Strengthening Grassroots Representation in Cross River State

By -
Image
Effective governance begins at the grassroots. It is at this level that policies meet the people, and where true representation must be felt, not just promised. Recent developments surrounding the release of Ward and LGA Chapter Stakeholders’ Lists in Cross River State have brought an important issue to light—one that speaks directly to the heart of inclusive governance. Across the state, Ward Development Officers who also serve as Special Assistants have played a critical role in grassroots engagement. These individuals are not distant actors; they are embedded within communities, working closely with citizens to mobilize support, communicate government initiatives, and drive development efforts where they matter most. However, their omission from the official stakeholders’ lists has raised concerns about representation and inclusiveness. This is not merely an administrative oversight, it touches on the broader principle of ensuring that every key contributor to grassroots...

The Populace Willing To Follow Their Leader Even Blindly On Any Circumference

By -

Hon. Chief. (Dr). Douglas Ogar & Myself’. Hon. Chief. (Dr). Douglas Ogar is one-man that embodies compassion, empathy, resilience and selfishness.   He is one leader whose vision and mission validates the yearnings of the general masses. In that regard and singular purpose, the people cutting across the entire political wards of Boki in particular, the Ikom in extension and Cross River in general are willing to go into war with him blindfolded knowing he’s one who remembers his base and support system.   He rewards loyalty and dedication and vigor. He stands as a Prince who seeks to reclaim the lost glory of his ancestral empire and he is led by his convictions to succeed.  Let it be on record that, Chief. Douglas Ogar the Leader of the foremost “ Wan Osowo Movement ” is a prototype of a modern perfect servant-leader , a people’s-person and an intellectual activist whose activism stems from his belief to bring governance nearer, closer and more equit...
