Celebration Galore As Go Round Community Visits Monarch
History was made recently in Emohua Kingdom, Rivers State, as the people of the area witnessed a rare celebration following the historic visit of Go Round Community Worldwide to the Paramount Ruler of Emohua Kingdom, Ohna, Sir Sergeant Awuse, Olo IV , Nneweli Emohua XII in his palace at Rumuche-Emohua.
Speaking at the well attended event, the founder and leader of the Go Round Community, Bro. Felix Obuah stated that the purpose of their visit was to give honour to whom honour is due and to felicitate with their political leader and mentor, over his divine emergence as the new first class traditional ruler of Emohua Clan.
Obuah, who was the former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Rivers State, also noted that their visit was to commend Ohna Awuse for his selfless contributions to the peace and harmony in the community, which made their visit to the Kingdom possible.
The former Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA) boss explained that Go Round Community is a universal association of people with like minds, who believe in oneness, peace, equity and justice as well as love for one another, which the present administration of Governor Nyesom Wike also upholds.
He lauded the Governor for the recognition the state government accorded Ohna Awuse as the new first class traditional ruler of Emohua Kingdom.
He described Awuse as a dogged fighter and one of the leading political gladiators in Nigeria.
Responding, Ohna Awuse, who could not conceal his joy for the unique visit, show of love, solidarity and goodwill towards him by the Go Round Community, said, “this is one of the happiest moments of my life, today is like the beginning of my reign. I expected a simple courtesy call and not this large crowd of well meaning people from within and outside the State and beyond for which l am highly grateful and honoured.
“Go Round Community has not only shown love and friendship towards me as a person, but to the entire good people of Emohua Community. This historic visit has revived the age long peaceful co-existence between the Ogba and Ikwerre ethnic nationalities of Rivers State”, he said.
According to Ohna Awuse, “Go Round Community is worthy of the name as their credo, Ibiri mey biri which literally means when you live, I live is an eloquent testimony of their love and oneness. I am indeed glad with your community of like minds. I am delighted that one of my sons is your member. I will encourage the rest to also join you”, he said.
The EMOLGA monarch disclosed that he was once a politician, but if people today say he is still a politician, he is comfortable with that. “Once a soldier, always a soldier. Our party, the PDP is a grassroot party, our governorship candidate in the 2023 election, Siminalayi Joseph Fubura is the Rivers State Governor in waiting. We thank Governor Nyesom Wike and the PDP leadership in the State for giving all the governorship aspirants a level playing field to contest, therefore, the emergence of Fubara is a divine mandate we shall all support him”,he declared.
Awuse further thanked Governor Wike for giving Rivers people the opportunity to reap the benefits of this present democratic dispensation in the State. “ Our Governor is a good man and God fearing, he planted this fruitful tree from which all of us are reaping today. We shall continue to pray for him and encourage him to do more, wherever he goes, there we shall all go”, he stated.
Also speaking, the Chairman of Emohua Local Government Area, Dr. Chidi Lloyd lauded Go Round Community for their visit which he said was a great honour to Ohna Awuse,and also commended Ohna Awuse for his humility and leadership qualities which has endeared him to the hearts of his large crowd of followers and has contributed to his increasingly amazing popularity in the State and beyond.
In his vote of thanks, the Deputy Speaker Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Edison Ehie expressed gratitude to God for the life of Ohna Awuse which he said has impacted positively in the lives of his ardent followers, while his legendary exploits in the PDP as a party remains a legacy for all to see.
He pleaded with the traditional ruler to carry everybody along in his administration to move the community forward, because to whom much is given much is also expected. Hon. Ehie also lauded Go Round Community for identifying with the new Emohua Monarch.

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.
“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.
