The climax of the celebration which took place at the Central State School I, Emohua field, was the signing of the peace accord by the leaders of the cult groups and the conferment of ‘Ohna’ the highest traditional title in Emohua Clan on Chief (Hon) Sergeant Awuse by the Emohua monarch, HRM Eze V.C.B. Okor, (Mgbo Xii) in recognition of his bold action in resolving the cult clashes and restoring peace in Emohua community.
Eze V.C.B Okor said that apart from this laudable achievement, Awuse had worked tirelessly towards the development of the community and youth empowerment, hence the people of Emohua decided to honour him with the prestigious title a s a token reward for his selfless service to the people.
The monarch commended the Rivers State Governor, Chief (Barr) Nyesom Wike for siting two faculties of the Rivers State University at Emohua. He stated that the gesture would not only usher in employment of the youths, but also bring about rapid development of the area. He stressed that with the return of peace, Emohua Clan would soon be transformed into a modern city in the nearest future.
Speaking at the event, the chairman of Emohua Local Government Area (EMOLGA), High Chief Tom Aliezi thanked the cult groups for embracing peace and assured that if the peace accord was maintained till the end of July, he would set up a security committee with two representatives from each of the eight villages that make up Emohua clan as members to work in synergy with security operatives in the local government to ensure that the peace accord was sustained.
The chairman who congratulated Chief Awuse for championing the reconciliation process and the successful signing of the peace accord by the cult groups, promised that the repetant cultists would be rehabilitated, but warned that after the peace accord anyone who involved in any form of criminality would be arrested by security operatives and punished in accordance with the law.
In his response, Ohna (Sir) Sergeant Awuse noted that the celebration was as a result of the success of the series of meetings he held with the cultists who assured him that they had decided to shun cultism and to cease fire. “Today we are saying bye bye to cultism, kidnapping, armed robbery and other social vices in Emohua community”, Awuse declared.
Ohna Awuse, a frontline politician and business mogul, thanked God for the success recorded. He also lauded the efforts of a prominent youth leader in Emohua, Mr Delight Ihiechi Olomi for contributing immensely to the peace process.
The cult leaders who exchanged pleasantries at the event after signing the peace accord later went to the popular hangovers in the villages where they wined, dined and danced till dawn.

The actress questioned why Yul brought up claims about their marriage but refused to explain further.

Her sharp response has added another twist to the long-running conversation around the Edochie family.

The actress reacted after Yul appeared on The Honest Bunch Podcast, where he made comments that many listeners linked to his former marriage.

During the interview, Yul hinted that certain things happened while he and May were still married and suggested those moments contributed to the decisions he later made.

The Tide Entertainment reports that Yul hints that certain things happened while he and May were still married and suggests those moments contributed to the decisions he later made.

But while saying that, Yul also hinted that there were incidents in their marriage he had chosen not to discuss publicly.

According to him, he was “too much of a man” to come online and break down over personal matters.

Reacting to the interview, Sarah, in a post on her Instagram story, pointed out what she described as irony in Yul’s words—saying he wished May well while also making statements that could create doubt in people’s minds.

According to her, if he truly meant well for his former wife, there was no reason to hint at hidden issues and leave people guessing.

“You wish her well, but you granted Podcast the power to sow doubt in people’s minds by saying she did something that led you to do what you did, but you won’t say it,” she said.

She went further to accuse Yul of being uncomfortable with May’s continued growth and public support.

“Oga, you’re just pained that she’s doing well!”
Sarah also questioned the purpose of the interview, asking if jealousy may have played a role.

Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up on his fallout with singer Burna Boy, alleging that the music star publicly attacked him because of his close relationship with Davido.

Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, Cubana Chief Priest said his journey to success began from apprenticeship and years of hard work, adding that fame and financial growth often attract envy and criticism.

“Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you.

“I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.

“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,” he said.

He further stated that Davido has consistently supported his businesses and personal projects.

“David is always there for me. He opened all my nightclubs, restaurants, everything. He always shows up to support me.

“He’s investing in clubs in Lagos, and I’m making music to prove a point that I can,” he added.
