TRIBUTE TO THE RESURRECTED TOWN OF CHIEF DENNIS OTUARO
By Asiayei Enaibo
A land that births warriors and patriots, soaked with strength and bravery. Their strength lies for the common guidance of the kingdom, invaded for the interest of the birth of a new glorious kingdom.
Okerenkoko!
We do not produce Kings but we are makers of kings and our strength flows in our blood to guard and protect what we have made.
We are the Okerenkoko people, wide open to the sea with our two eyes to see our foes and friends, the trees do cover our views, our forefathers guard us in our adversities. For we are the Okerenkoko people, from the creek to the open rivers, the Island blessed with milk and honey surrounded by mangrove.
Generosity and strength are our building bricks to climb. Once we make Kings, we watch over the Throne with our hands. In love, we live as one united front.
The gods of the land Oyain and Iyoro-Agba, they cover our beings from the eyes of our enemies, anyone born of Okerenkoko Blood are fearless, they are warriors with ancestral sword of Egbesu, justice and freedom, they are the Fibagha- Ogbotu, their firmness lead us to the new Ijaw spirit of Adaka Boro in history.
We are Gbaramatu people!
That is the home of Tompolo, the head of the holy wizardry, strength upon strength to watch over the lands of the whole kingdom. Nations upon nations, one could be tempted to ask, “is this the town of our progenitor, Izon came back to rest on the mother Earth?” Tompolo like a spirit being with one eye that sees all things, he knows the time for peace and the time to say a word, and his words break yolks of endurance. Tompolo is the Azaza Igologolo in Okerenkoko, half human and half spiri.
Also, that is the home of Chief High Dennis Otuaro, simple and tough, guided by principles of decisiveness, integrity, freedom and honor. Yes, Fibagha-ogbo, when the wind blows, the sky too obeys its look and works according to his commandments. He is a disciple to King Maker, Odokorikodo, the eyes that see both the living and the death.
Here lies a hero whose passage of time is unknown. That is the home of Aaron Bebenimibo, Tiger begat Tiger, that is the land of Okerenkoko, the Hero who sleeps, but his eyes are still opened.
Yes, it is the home of the living legend who watches over the dead and the living, that is Tompolo. The Timeless human deity that exist in a timeless world, Chief Dennis is also an Okerenkoko breed.
Where is Chief Daniel Ekpebide the Orator who speaks with passion, to guard his forebearers world and that is the home of Chief Alfred Bubor the historian who made history before the creator of his progenitors, is Okerenkoko blood, and Chief Osen Thomas Ekpemupolo, the father to the King of all Oracles and the custodian of the old religion, which power whitening over his offsprings to watch over Kings when Kings are made. Okerenkoko town is small and big for men who have eyes to see.
Speak through me so I write, for many they shall come and invade, but no enemy shall conquer.
Okerenkoko! Okerenkoko!
The Home of Dr. Paul Bebenimibo, the line of simplicity and wisdom, the news that holds the voice of the hero.
Yes, Chief Simeon Bebenimibo, the return of peace and battle, for our home shall be guarded with strength and love, the Pasitare-Owei
The Pinikis’, the returners of the new faith to Okerenkoko, a world that represents new and old beliefs.
Okerenkoko, the home of Chief Jacob Odiki, the hands that serve the spirit in both flesh and blood in all libations, strength and power with low voice. The home of the Johnny’s strength and valor! Yes, Mosco Johnny, a man with Lion blood, his courage is beyond fear, his eyes ready for battles, and song of victory, unsung hero of heroes.
Yes, George Ekpemupolo, the dual soul, the line between reconciliation and development, the head of Amapinade Uge in Okerenkoko, the gateway to two nations. His passion to hold his father’s legacy continues in his estate.
Tangbewei’s, that is the spirit of happiness and jubilation, yes, Chief Vero, the woman of all women, an adorable mother whose voice is obeyed by all lovers of peace and harmony, Mother Okerenkoko.
Then, Amb. Shedrack Otuaro, the practical philanthropist whose hands are always open for people to collect, he is a giver who gives, and the Lord expands the hands that give, that, is Shedrack Otuaro.
Chief Kestin Pondi, the treasury to the spirit world, when Bini-ebi goddess supplies supplication he keeps it without words in his bank of wisdom, the preserver of the empire and he is a grandson of Okerenkoko.
Tare Pondi, the warrior that represents the new generation, when the old seat on the mountains.
Yes, Hon. Julius Pondi, the political eyes of the dynasty, he was sent to Burutu like a deity to preserve what is coming from our mother and father side. He is a grandson of Okerenkoko land. His voice is stable to the unstable riverine education.
Victor Ebikonde Sokoto, newness in character and sensibilities, the future holds strong for leadership of tomorrow.
The Tonlaghas’, the store room to the oil that flows in the kingdom, the resource centre to the true happiness of the economy of the people.
This land is blessed, yes Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Guwor the fostered political child of Otuaro, the bridge between the old vision and the new governance in leadership and rebalancing of strategic roadmap to growth as time awaits all. He is a son of the Okerenkoko soil.
Okerenkoko, the home of Barr. Kingsley Burutu Otuaro, the path way to governance, a symbol to build new bridges to replace those destroyed throughout all the stages of evolution. The first road to vision in Democracy to both lands and waters.
Okerenkoko is a home of all that made men grow to build the new face of our existence.
Okerenkoko, the home flows with the BLACK GOLD that brings in war and destruction by the Federal Government but when the people speak of development, they bear the first brunt, that gave birth to the long walk of freedom in the Niger Delta region.
Are you going to Okerenkoko? You must go with a clean heart, or you fall into the unusual waves around Ofiuo, the river before your foots set upon the land. For Okerenkoko is the land that host the Maritime University, the new face of riverine education, as the old struggle fades away, education takes over the land and Tompolo become the Doctor of Philosophy, PhD, as a product of his own doing.
Yes, the Maware’s and the German’s, the Faith that infused with the spirit of Zion and the Bible, yes, that is the Israelites spirit in Okerenkoko.
However, the Oturubos, their gentility and peaceful dispositions is also the new spirit of Okerenkoko.
As Osen lies cold on the land with his ancestors that marks the end of war and peace return to the land.
Okerenkoko is a town in Gbaramatu kingdom in Ijaw Nation, Warri south West LGA of Delta State, Nigeria, which is been built with strength, love, beliefs and undivided love no matter the internal war, their unity vax stronger, which brings progress to all.
They all are descendants of the Fiyewei, of Gbaramatu Kingdom, the new holy pilgrim land of Izon-be of our tradition.
Okerenkoko!
Keme gbiri-gbiri, keme gbiri-gbiri!
Amaye!
This appellation of the town unifies the oneness of the people and massive workforce as one indivisible being. Okerenkoko!
Federal government thought they came to destroy Okerenkoko community in 2009, but Okerenkoko resurrected to the envy of other towns developmentally.
A town that love themselves more than others.
In all, the King is the eyes of the land, they are all the children of the Agadagba AKETEKPE the Pere of the kingdom.
All those names that flip away from my tongue and memory, history holds them in pleasure.
High Chief Dennis Otauro (PhD) created the Opium to thy soul while I write as the Talking Drum of the Niger Delta region.
