Church Doles Out Free Kerosene To PH Residents
About 4,000 Port Harcourt residents last Wednesday besieged the premises of the Omega Power Ministry (OPM) to get their share of 10 litres of kerosene per person, out of the 4,000 litres of free kerosene product donated by the church.
Two tanker loads of kerosene were positioned at the church premises, while the beneficiaries were asked to queue up to avoid disorderliness.
Members, of the welfare department of the church were on ground to ensure that the beneficiaries were attended to without hitches.
Speaking with newsmen at the event, the General Overseer of OPM, Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, said the gesture was part of the objective of the Ministry to impact on the lives of the masses.
He said kerosene was an essential commodity needed by every family, adding that the provision of the product would assist the families of the beneficiaries to attend to their domestic needs.
Apostle Chinyere bemoaned the tendency of self appropriation on the part of most church leaders today, and pointed out that churches funds should be used to impact positively on the lives of the people.
He disclosed that the prime objective of OPM was to put smiles on the faces of the masses.
Some of the beneficiaries of the product that spoke with The Tide commended Apostle Chinyere for his populist agenda.
A beneficiary, Rose Nwaka, thanked the OPM leader for his gesture and called on other church leaders to emulate his style of evangelism which is inclined to attending to people’s needs.
Another beneficiary, Ukachi Amadi described Apostle Chinyere as “Godsent,”and prayed God to bless him so that he would give more to society. It would be recalled that recently, OPM commissioned a free restaurant in Port Harcourt, in addition to other existing social services such as free education, free health and free housing for the downtrodden.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
