04:50I amorted my fishes to Yeliva town, because of the rain, floors and wide roads.
05:17I am particularly seeing the ruins and the carnage of camera.
05:30It's sad enough to keep a decision.
05:34We will do something for the redevelopment and recreation of that environment.
05:49I want to salute, especially, General Atompera.
05:59I have not seen you for a long time.

08:59with the principle of democracy, freedom and prosperity. I will protect them.
09:07Abuse me all you want. You must take that.
09:16The art of leadership that dictates that you lead at this particular time.
09:22You are one in a million of the Thief people, people of Benway, people of Idoma and all other tribes.
09:43So walk around. Night and day, as you do the official job, move around the corners of your enemy.
09:54I have faced these same challenges before in Lagos.
10:04Your ability, your maturity, your divine mandate is to work hard as you pray.
10:20Of course, you are your father. Father to all. You don't have a nucleus family of your own.
10:28You are your father to all of us, including myself, right?
10:32So you say, you aren't. So us, the people of Benway, they deserve the peace as the traditional rule as they mentioned.
10:5813.
11:00To me, let me apologize and salute other traditional rulers present.
11:08Thank you very much for the honor of being here.
11:14But it will have been a better day to clean glasses and rejoice in progress.
11:32I've seen the people hospitalized.
11:42Governor, please announce in a broadcast for people to donate more blood voluntarily to the hospitals.
11:54And thanks to those medical personnel.
12:02But for us in Nigeria, we have to find solutions to this.
12:11What's the cause of the conflict?
12:14I heard from torture, this is about land grabbing.
12:20But if we learn how to share and how to accommodate, we have enough land to feed, to raise our children, to cultivate happiness and prosperity.
12:40We must do it.
12:41We will change that attitude of hate.
12:46We can.
12:55We sang through the national anthem.
13:04We said, no tribes and tongues may differ.
13:09In brotherhood we stand.
13:12It must reflect in everything we do in our character.
13:21In the economy.
13:22In sharing.
13:23In developing our people.
13:28Maybe part of the solution,
13:42in NSC as you are here.
13:43In NSC as you are here.
13:44Is to equally find a channel.
13:49A radio station.
13:54For Benway.
13:55Work with them.
13:56So that we keep talking to each other about tolerance.
14:01The capacity to build our family as one single family.
14:07I salute those who have governed this state before.
14:22And particularly my friend, George Yakume.
14:28When they have to come, we receive a lot of yams and food stuff from him.
14:38Not dead bodies.
14:49Let us, please, find a way to form a committee of elders here.
15:14That committee to comprise those who had governed this state before.
15:28Including Atompera.
15:39To be the committee to really find a permanent accommodation.
