This would be a very laudable encouragement to this illustrious son of ours and many others, &#8220;he opined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I strongly think that no amount of poverty, ignorance, and &#8216;stomach infrastructures&#8217; should allow us to condescend so low in-spite of his huge contributions to the community development and we should avoid doing things that are inimical to natural justice and fair play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is imperative to state clearly that Benikrukru Community land in Gbaramatu Kingdom belongs to all sons and daughters with inalienable rights. Therefore, no individual should be subjected or denial of such rights, and such that is capable of generating crisis and litigation in the nearest future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Benikrukru community born, Ibe-Serimowei of Gbaramatu Kingdom, strongly appealed to the community to support and contribute to investment drive as community equity contributions to our people, rather than selling any part or parcel of land. &#8220;Let it equally be on record that any purported sells Deeds of Conveyance will be resisted with every available legal means,&#8221; he asserted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Freeborn Abraye WARRI: Gbaramatu Kingdom, born renowned global peace ambassador and development advocate, Comrade&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1139,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[398],"tags":[704],"class_list":["post-3108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community","tag-delta-land-dispute-mulade-cautions-against-selling-of-benikrukru-land"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/screenshot_20211207-122141_whatsapp-1.jpg?fit=754%2C534&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1063,"url":"https:\/\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/index.php\/2021\/11\/23\/frontline-delta-2023-governorship-aspirant-chief-mulade-to-lay-mother-to-rest-november-26th\/","url_meta":{"origin":3108,"position":0},"title":"Frontline Delta 2023 Governorship Aspirant, Chief Mulade To Lay Mother To Rest November 26th","author":"Coastal Times","date":"November 23, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"Coastal News A Delta State frontline governorship aspirant from Ijaw extraction, Comrade Mulade Sheriff is set to lay the remains of his late mother, Madam Ebikeseiye Christiana Mulade, Nee Timiyan to rest in her home town, Kokodiagbene, Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri South West LGA of Delta State.In a statement made\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Opinion&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Opinion","link":"https:\/\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/opinion\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img-20211123-wa0016.jpg?fit=1080%2C746&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img-20211123-wa0016.jpg?fit=1080%2C746&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img-20211123-wa0016.jpg?fit=1080%2C746&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img-20211123-wa0016.jpg?fit=1080%2C746&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img-20211123-wa0016.jpg?fit=1080%2C746&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":933,"url":"https:\/\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/index.php\/2021\/10\/31\/gbaramatu-kingdom-iyc-sends-condolence-to-chief-mulade-on-mothers-demise\/","url_meta":{"origin":3108,"position":1},"title":"Gbaramatu Kingdom IYC Sends Condolence to Chief Mulade On Mother&#8217;s Demise","author":"Coastal Times","date":"October 31, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"Coastal News The Leadership of the Ijaw Youth Council, IYC Gbaramatu Structure.
