In a rare show of genuine compassion and grassroots commitment, Hon. Engr. Esosa Iyawe FNSE, the distinguished Member representing Oredo Federal Constituency, has once again demonstrated that true leadership goes beyond the chambers of the National Assembly. In a gesture that has left many in awe, Hon. Iyawe personally empowered no fewer than 372 women from Oredo with soft cash grants of ₦25,000 each — not from government allocations, not from constituency funds, but directly from his own personal foundation and pocket.
Some may look at ₦25,000 and dismiss it as small. But for these hardworking women—traders, food vendors, artisans, and small-scale entrepreneurs—that sum represents fresh stock in their shops, additional produce for their stalls, capital for daily turnovers, and the seed of stability that keeps families fed and businesses alive.
The women beneficiaries, many of whom had tears of joy, described the gesture as a lifeline. They noted that while big promises often end up as empty rhetoric, Hon. Iyawe’s action stands out because it is practical, personal, and impactful. His philanthropy once again underscores his reputation as a lawmaker with a heart, a leader who listens, and a representative who truly feels the pulse of his people.
At a time when the public clamors for leaders who will “show workings,” Hon. Esosa Iyawe has not only shown his workings but has also shown his heart. By lifting 372 women with a soft but powerful touch of empowerment, he has proven that leadership is not measured in the size of the budget one controls, but in the size of compassion one is willing to share.
This is not a one-off. Hon. Engr. Esosa Iyawe has made a habit of touching lives directly, complementing his numerous empowerment drives and visible constituency projects with personal acts of kindness that never make the headlines but change destinies in silence. From scholarships to youth skill support, community development efforts to women empowerment like this, he continues to prove that leadership is not just about passing bills in Abuja, but about constantly standing with the people who entrusted him with their mandate.
Hon. Iyawe’s consistency in giving back, both through official channels and his personal initiatives, has cemented his place as one of the most people-focused lawmakers Oredo has ever had.

FROM BEHIND BARS! Uwazuruike Drops Bombshell: Nnamdi Kanu Is Recruiting Igbo Youth For Violence From Prison!.
Ralph Uwazuruike, an agitator for the Biafran nation, has accused Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), of continuing to recruit Igbo youths for violent activities from his prison cell in Sokoto. Uwazuruike claims that this ongoing recruitment is directly responsible for the deaths of many young people.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
-
Call to Action: He urged Igbo leaders and the pan-Igbo organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, to travel to Sokoto to demand that Kanu cease his recruitment efforts.
-
Opposition to Violence: Uwazuruike emphasized his own aversion to violence and questioned how someone serving a life sentence for terrorism can continue to mobilize youths for such causes.
-
Advocacy for Amnesty: He questioned why IPOB members cannot renounce violence and seek government amnesty and rehabilitation, similar to the programs offered to repentant terrorists and bandits in northern Nigeria.
-
Context of Allegations: Uwazuruike’s comments appear to be prompted by recent social media videos featuring hooded, armed militants who claim loyalty to Kanu and threaten further violence in the South East to secure his release.
-
Leadership Changes: These concerns also follow reports that Kanu has restructured his leadership team from prison and initiated a vague “100-man-project”.

Target Audience: The advice was specifically aimed at individuals living at or below the poverty line who seek to earn an honest living while maintaining their dignity.

-
Critique of Critics: He claimed that those criticizing the advice, including “Yahoo-boys” and “ObiDENTs,” view such work as beneath them because they aspire to high-level trade like selling cars, rather than starting with small-scale ventures.
-
Advocacy for Honest Labor: The APC chieftain emphasized that these small enterprises provide a path to earning a livelihood without resorting to immoral activities or cybercrime.

Context of the Attack: MACBAN reported that Risku was killed shortly after attending a security meeting requested by Ohimini Local Government officials to discuss regional peace and stability.

The Incident: Approximately an hour after the meeting, Risku and an associate were intercepted and fatally shot in Okudu village.

Premeditation Concerns: The association views the killing as a “dastardly and deeply disturbing act” and highlighted that the timing, immediately following a peace-oriented security meeting, suggests the attack may have been premeditated.
-
Pattern of Violence: MACBAN noted that this incident follows a recent attack on the deceased’s son, a lawyer, in a village last week, further supporting the need for a thorough and transparent investigation.
-
Broader Impact: The association emphasized that targeting community leaders and peace advocates actively sabotages efforts toward dialogue and peaceful coexistence.

Commitment to Peace: Despite this tragedy, MACBAN reaffirmed its dedication to collaborating with government and security institutions to resolve national security concerns and offered condolences to the victim’s family and the Benue State chapter.
