Pep Talk Presented to Teenage Church, SpiritBreed Parish, Redeemed Christian Church of God, Ada George, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, Sunday 21st September, 2025 INTRODUCTION If academic excellence is not important, we wouldn’t talk about it.

Well, in the course of the fight, we pushed over some stacked up crates of malt and soda that our granny was selling. No less than 3 crates of drinks were damaged and only a few bottles survived. At that point, our mum jumped in and rooted out her rod of correction to beat the spirit of fighting and destruction out of us. But our grandma stepped in just time to rebuke her. Granny warned her not to lay a finger on us. Instead she rewarded us with plates of fresh fish and asked us to share the remaining bottles that did not break.

Established Protocol PREAMBLE It is with great sense of privilege that I address you today, my great people of Etche ethnic nationality, one of the most revered ethnic nationalities in Rivers State and Nigeria. The two local government areas that make up our nation, have been in the forefront of the prosperity and image boost of our dear state. We are a people known for peace and hospitality to ourselves, neighbours and tenants. The theme of this year’s Easter Convention, ‘ Land Grabbing and Insecurity in Etche Nation ’, is not only prompt but a clarion call to forestall image harm and foster prosperity in our dear Etche nation. Land grabbing could mean a forceful or fraudulent acquisition of land asset of a community by government, individuals, and usually in large scale. Land grabbing leads to environmental damage and social unrest or disturbance. There have identified causes of land grabbing. One of such causes is historical falsehood or absolute or partial history or denial. ...
