An Open Letter to His Excellency Amaopusenibo Sir Siminalayi Fubara, Executive Governor of Rivers State

By: Kenneth Kemuel



CONNECTING BILLE TO PORT HARCOURT THROUGH Abonnema/Obonoma Road._             

                  Distance: 28km only.


A HUMBLE APPEAL 🙏


Dear Governor Fubara,


I am a son of the ancient Bille Kingdom, Ward 16, and a proud member of the Ijaw nation. I write to express my warmest congratulations on your one-year anniversary in office. Your visionary leadership and transformative projects have been a beacon of hope for our dear state. I also want to express my deepest gratitude for your commitment to development and connectivity, as evident in the Trans-Kalabari Road project.


Bille Kingdom, as one of the ancient Kingdoms and clans in the Ijaw nation, is the landlord to two flowstations - Bille 1 and Awoba - and has a rich cultural heritage and contributes to the State's economic development. Inspired by your commitment to development and road connectivity, I humbly propose a road connection to Bille Town through the Obonoma/Abonoma Road, in continuation of the Emohua-Kalabari Road that you commissioned a few days ago.


This connection is crucial as Obonoma to Bille is roughly 28kms. Linking Bille with road will open up the State to the vast potentials of the Blue Economy, given that Bille is approximately 2km away from the ocean.


I passionately appeal to you, Your Excellency, to consider this my request by connecting Bille Kingdom through road to Port Harcourt City, a priority. I believe that this project will have a profound impact on the lives of our people and further cement your legacy as a champion of development and progress.


Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your positive response and the continued growth of our beloved Rivers State.


Sincerely,


© Kenneth Kemuel

Development Advocate

RE: REPLY TO ELEM-KALABARI COUNCIL'S PRESS RELEASE

SPONSORED  FROM: THE PEOPLE OF DABIRA, COMMUNITY BILLE KINGDOM. DATE: JANUARY 23, 2025 We, the people of Dabira community, hereby submit this formal reply in response to the Ijaw National Congress (I.N.C) press release issued by the Elem-Kalabari Council of Chiefs on January 23, 2025. In response to the claims made by the Elem-Kalabari community, we provide the following perspectives based on territorial rights, historical ownership, and the law. 1. TERRITORIAL CLAIMS AND ENCROACHMENT  We categorically reject the assertion by the Elem-Ama Council that the Bille people’s claims of encroachment are "false alarms." The ongoing surveying activities in the Cawthorne Channel area, which have been identified as encroaching on Bille lands, are clear legal violations under customary and statutory law. According to established legal principles governing the ownership and use of land, including the Nigerian Land Use Act (1978), the rights of indigenous communities to their ancestral lan...
