Expert Urges Youths To Shun Thuggery, Criminality

A political scientist, Warisenibo Jim Stewart, has called on youths in the country to shun thuggery and other criminal activities and rather aim higher in life as the 2023 general elections approach.
Speaking with The Tide recently in Port Harcourt on the 2023 polls and the fate of youths, Stewart warned the younger generations of the dangers of electoral violence.
According to him, “most political aspirants leave their children overseas and engage other ignorant youths, arming them to fight for them as they go about their political campaigns”.
This, he said, “may cause untimely death, severe imjury, drug addiction and other electoral malpractices which could land somebody behind bars, hence, destroying one’s otherwise bright future”.
Stewart urged the youths to comport and discipline themselves, enjoining them to improve themselves academically.
“I am glad I was once a vibrant youth of this nation, but led on good morals for effective growth”, he stayed.
He enjoined youths to be patient while contributing to the growth of the country and society.
Blaming the country’s leadership travails on lack of accredited institutions that would teach true leadership for future leaders, he said “one of the setbacks we have in our environment is that we do not teach leadership in our country.
“As critical as it is, in other parts of the world, they have institutions that offer quality governance via leadership training”.
Onc the 2023 polls, Stewart urged both the INEC, aspirants and the electorate to play the game according to the rules for peace to continually thrive in the country.

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.
