Governor Eno Replies Kenneth Okonkwo Over 'Transgenderic' Comment (Video)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IZ8zQX1AaY

Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom state has clapped back at actor/politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, who in a recent interview , described him as a ‘’political transgender' and one who behaves like a man but has the genitals of a woman..

Okonkwo stated this while expressing his disappointment at the governor over his recent defection from the PDP to the APC and the reason he gave for the defection.

‘’So people that are talking, even those that are not from Akwa Ibom, even those who feel they have done things…they have tried everything..they have tried to become actor, they failed. They are still living in bondage, trying to put their mouth into what does not concern them. Tell them this is living reality. He should go to his state and fight. He is an attempted politician. He tried in Labour party, he ran away. He tried acting, he was living in bondage. He is an attempted lawyer. He has never moved a motion before. So such people, don't listen to them''

LoWHO SOLD NIGERIA TO THE BRITISH FOR £865K IN 1899?

This is the story of the first oil war, which was fought in the 19th century, in the area that became Nigeria.

All through the 19th century, palm oil was highly sought-after by the British, for use as an industrial lubricant for machinery. that Britain was the world’s first industrialised nation, so they needed resources such as palm oil to maintain that.

Palm oil, of course, is a tropical plant, which is native to the Niger Delta. Malaysia’s dominance came a century later. By 1870, palm oil had replaced slaves as the main export of the Niger Delta, the area which was once known as the Slave Coast. At first, most of the trade in the oil palm was uncoordinated, with natives selling to those who gave them the best deals. Native chiefs such as former slave, Jaja of Opobo became immensely wealthy because of oil palm. With this wealth came influence.

However, among the Europeans, there was competition for who would get preferential access to the lucrative oil palm trade. In 1879, George Goldie formed the United African Company (UAC), which was modelled on the former East India Company. Goldie effectively took control of the Lower Niger River. By 1884, his company had 30 trading posts along the Lower Niger. This monopoly gave the British a strong hand against the French and Germans in the 1884 Berlin Conference. The British got the area that the UAC operated in, included in their sphere of influence after the Berlin Conference.

When the Brits got the they wanted from other Europeans, they began to deal with the African chiefs. Within two years of 1886, Goldie had signed treaties with tribal chiefs along the Benue and Niger Rivers whilst also penetrating inland. This move inland was against the spirit of verbal agreements that had been made to restrict the organisation’s activities to coastal regions.

By 1886, the company name changed to The National Africa Company and was granted a royal charter (incorporated). The charter authorised the company to ister the Niger Delta and all lands around the banks of the Benue and Niger Rivers. Soon after, the company was again renamed. The new name was Royal Niger Company, which survives, as Unilever, till this day.

To local chiefs, the Royal Niger Company negotiators had pledged free trade in the region. Behind, they entered private contracts on their . Because the (deceitful) private contracts were often written in English and signed by the local chiefs, the British government enforced them. So for example, Jaja of Opobo, when he tried to export palm oil on his own, was forced into exile for “obstructing commerce”. As an aside, Jaja was “forgiven” in 1891 and allowed to return home, but he died on the way back, poisoned with a cup of tea.

Seeing what happened to Jaja, some other native rulers began to look more closely at the deals they were getting from the Royal Nigeria Company. One of such kingdoms was Nembe, whose king, Koko Mingi VIII, ascended the throne in 1889 after being a Christian schoolteacher. Koko Mingi VIII, King Koko for short, like most rulers in the yard, was faced with the Royal Nigeria Company encroachment. He also resented the monopoly enjoyed by the Royal Nigeria Company and tried to seek out favourable trading , with particularly the Germans in Kamerun (Cameroon).

By 1894, the Royal Nigeria Company increasingly dictated whom the natives could trade with, and denied them direct access to their former markets. In late 1894, King Koko renounced Christianity and tried to form an alliance with Bonny and Okpoma against the Royal Nigeria Company to take back the trade. This is significant because while Okpoma ed up, Bonny refused. A harbinger of the successful “divide and rule” tactic.

On 29 January 1895, King Koko led an attack on the Royal Niger Company’s headquarters, which was in Akassa in today’s Bayelsa state. The pre-dawn raid had more than a thousand men involved. King Koko’s attack succeeded in capturing the base. Losing 40 of his men, King Koko captured 60 white men as hostages, as well as a lot of goods, ammunition and a Maxim gun. Koko then attempted to negotiate a release of the hostages in exchange for being allowed to chose his trading partners. The British refused to negotiate with Koko, and he had forty of the hostages killed. A British report claimed that the Nembe people ate them. On 20 February 1895, Britain’s Royal Navy, under iral Bedford attacked Brass and burned it to the ground. Many Nembe people died and smallpox finished off a lot of others.

By April 1895, business had returned to “normal”, normal being the conditions that the British wanted, and King Koko was on the run. Brass was fined £500 by the British, £62,494 (NGN29 million) in today’s money, and the looted weapons were returned as well as the surviving prisoners. After a British Parliamentary Commission sat, King Koko was offered of settlement by the British, which he re

The governor dignified him with a response. He is a paper weight political analyst.

Could hypocrisy be an ibo issue?

This same man has moved from APC to Labour to unknown to "Coalition party" and now stuck in between labour and coalition party in less than 3 years. He did not even take an introspection but called a governor a "political transgender".

If you know what acting entails then you'll know that this Kenneth guy is an average actor at his best but he is actually less than average. Can you compare his acting skills with people like Ramsey Noah, Segun Arinze, Fred Amata etc the guy never rose beyond an actor despite appearing in many movies he couldn't translate his role with flawless emotions and carriage... He's a fake actor who you can tell is justing acting... The governor is right.

Kenneth Okonkwo is a failed actor, Politician, lawyer and whatsoever.

He has failed at everything he lays his hands on.

What exactly does the wide mouthed man do for a living? Nothing!

Just living a fake empty life in bondage.
