A socio cultural group Akwa Ibom State, Ibom Akwa Ibom has written an open letter to Governor Umo Eno indicting him of using Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly to probe his predecessor ex-Governor Udom Emmanuel.

The letter is sequel to the setting up of a panel by Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly to probe the ownership of St. Gabriel Coconut Refinery by Akwa Ibom State, House of Assembly.

Part of the letter read: “Your Excellency, we aware of the recent development in Akwa Ibom State, where Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly is initiating a process to probe the ownership of St. Gabriel Coconut Refinery in Mkpat Enin – one of the legacy projects of your predecessor and benefactor ex-Governor Udom Emmanuel.

While we will not query your decision to use Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly to probe the records and deeds of your predecessor, we will however seek your company as we saunter on the paved lane of history of governance in Akwa Ibom State since the inception of our current democracy in 1999.”

The group accused the Governor of pursuing selective justice in Akwa Ibom State by choosing to probe Coconut Refinery ignoring the glaring reckless spending during Akpabio’s administration.

“Interestingly, throughout the second term of Chief Godswill Akpabio–your newly adopted political grandfather– he budgeted billions of naira yearly for industrialization of Akwa Ibom State, yet he left office in 2015 without any single industry to show where such state’s fund approved by Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly were spent on.

“Also, in September 2008, Chief Godswill Akpabio, the then governor of Akwa Ibom State, had signed a N33 Billion contract agreement with Silver Bird Group for the construction of Ibom Tropicana Entertainment Centre. The centre was proposed to be modern class leisure and business resort that would provide employment opportunities for over 5000 Akwa Ibom people according to Akpabio. Based on available records, Chief Akpabio spent close to N68 Billion on Tropicana yet the project was never completed.

“Sadly, In 2019, Chief Godswill Akpabio openly accused Ben Bruce of Bayelsa of defrauding Akwa Ibom State, billions of naira by abandoning Ibom Tropicana Entertainment Centre in Akwa Ibom State. Even the equipment that were procured for the entertainment centre were destroyed yet no one had the courage to probe such era of financial recklessness in Akwa Ibom State.”

Ibom Akwa Ibom recalled that ex-Governor Udom Emmanuel never had any cause to probe his predecessor despite their political differences.

“Although ex-Governor Udom Emmanuel had his personal differences with Chief Godswill Akpabio, he rather prefer to be busy with crystalizing his vision for Akwa Ibom State than to spend his few years in office to dig into the records of his predecessor.

“Today, your administration has suddenly considered it wise to sink again billions of state’s funds to revamp Ibom Tropicana Entertainment Centre without caring to set up a panel to investigated how previous funds sunk into the project were spent. Even Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly does not consider it pertinent to probe how N68 billion was spent on the Tropicana Entertainment Centre before approving new funds for the project. ”

The group urged Governor Eno to be conscious of the fact that his administration will equally be probed after his exit from office.

“Your Excellency, be reminded that this same people that are pushing you to probe your predecessor also pushed Chief Goodwill Akpabio to probe Obong Attah but he refused, they equally pushed Mr Udom Emmanuel to probe Chief Akpabio yet he refused even when he had tangible evidences to back such probe. Today, you have finally fallen into the ditch by accepting to be used against your predecessor.

“In summation, Your Excellency, we do not intend to by our letter to stop you from probing an administration that you were part of but we wish you reiterate to your consciousness that you will be equally investigated after your fickle years as the governor of Akwa Ibom State. ”

Say Goodbye To These Diseases By Eating Sugarcane Regularly

Sugarcane is often enjoyed as a sweet, refreshing treat, especially on hot days.

But beyond its natural sweetness, sugarcane is packed with nutrients and health benefits that can help your body fight off and even prevent several diseases.

Eating sugarcane regularly—or drinking its fresh juice—can be a simple, natural way to boost your health and say goodbye to some common illnesses.

One of the biggest benefits of sugarcane is its ability to support liver health.

Sugarcane juice is a natural detoxifier, helping to flush out harmful toxins from the liver and bloodstream.

It’s especially beneficial for people suffering from jaundice, as it helps restore the liver’s function and maintain the right levels of electrolytes in the body.

Regular consumption can keep your liver healthy and improve digestion.

Sugarcane is also a great friend to your digestive system.

It contains potassium and natural fiber, which help prevent constipation, bloating, and stomach acidity.

Drinking sugarcane juice after meals can improve bowel movements and support the growth of good gut bacteria, making your digestive system stronger and more balanced over time.

Another major health benefit is its positive effect on the kidneys and urinary system.

Sugarcane juice acts as a natural diuretic, encouraging urine flow and helping to keep your kidneys clean.

This can reduce the risk of urinary tract infections and kidney stones.

It also helps maintain proper hydration, which is crucial for kidney function.

For those concerned about infections and low immunity, sugarcane offers a natural boost.

It is rich in antioxidants, such as flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which fight free radicals and strengthen the immune system.

This can help your body ward off infections like colds, flu, and fever.

Lastly, sugarcane supports healthy skin and prevents acne.

Its detoxifying properties clear impurities from the blood, leading to a clearer, glowing complexion over time.

In short, sugarcane is more than just a sweet treat—it’s a natural medicine.

By eating sugarcane regularly or drinking its fresh juice, you can protect your liver, boost digestion, improve kidney health, strengthen immunity, and even achieve healthier skin.

It’s a simple, affordable, and tasty way to say goodbye to several common diseases naturally.

What Your Urine Color Says About Your Kidney Health

The color of your urine can tell a lot about your kidney health and overall well-being. It is often the first sign that something may be off in your body. Paying attention to it can help you catch problems early.

Clear or light yellow urine is usually a good sign. It means you are well-hydrated, and your kidneys are working properly to filter waste. Drinking plenty of water often leads to this healthy color.

Dark yellow or amber urine may indicate dehydration. Your kidneys are concentrating urine to save water. Drinking more water usually helps return it to a lighter color. However, some vitamins and supplements can also darken urine.

Orange or brown urine can be a warning. It may be caused by certain foods, medications, or liver problems. It can also indicate bile buildup or a kidney issue. If it persists, seeing a doctor is important.

Red or pink urine can be alarming. Sometimes it is caused by eating beets or berries, but it can also indicate blood in the urine. This could result from kidney stones, infections, or more serious kidney problems. Immediate medical attention is advised.

Foamy or bubbly urine may indicate protein in the urine. This can be a sign of kidney damage. Persistent foaminess should not be ignored.

Very dark, almost black urine is rare but serious. It may suggest severe dehydration, liver problems, or a rare kidney disorder. Urgent medical evaluation is needed.

In summary, normal urine color ranges from pale yellow to light amber. Changes in color, especially if persistent, should not be ignored. Monitoring your urine and staying hydrated helps maintain kidney health. If unusual colors continue, it is important to consult a healthcare professional.
