An Epistle of Honour To Chief Tony Undiandeye at Birthday BY ELIJAH UGANI

To a Custodian of Heritage, A Man of Many Gifts, and A Bridge Builder.

Today, we pause to celebrate not merely the passing of another year, but the remarkable life and contributions of a man whose presence continues to enrich his community and inspire those privileged to know him.

Chief Tony Undiandeye is, in many respects, a rare convergence of intellect, tradition, eloquence, humanity, and service.

As a custodian of Obudu traditions, he carries within him a profound appreciation of the heritage, values, customs, and identity of his people. In an age when cultural memory can easily fade beneath the pressures of modernity, men such as Chief Tony stand as living repositories of tradition, preserving the wisdom of yesterday while engaging confidently with the realities of today. Yet, his intellectual journey tells another compelling story.

A physicist by training, Chief Tony represents that beautiful intersection between scientific reasoning and cultural wisdom. Physics may have trained his mind to interrogate the forces and principles that govern the physical universe, but life has given him an even broader field of inquiry: people, society, culture, relationships, and the human condition.

Chief Tony is a man who understands the power of words. He does not merely speak; he communicates. His words can illuminate an issue, provoke thought, clarify confusion, and, at times, bring people together. As a Public Affairs Analyst and Commentator, he has continued to deploy this gift in examining matters of public interest and contributing meaningfully to conversations that shape society. His versatility is, indeed, one of his distinguishing qualities.

He is multitalented, with interests and abilities that extend beyond the boundaries of any single profession or calling. His enthusiasm for hospitality management speaks to yet another dimension of his personality, the understanding that human beings desire not only places to stay or things to consume, but experiences that make them feel welcomed, valued, and remembered.

Perhaps most remarkable, however, is his identity as a reconciliator. In a world where disagreements can quickly become divisions and differences can become permanent walls, the ability to reconcile people is a precious gift. A reconciliator listens beyond the noise, sees beyond the disagreement, and searches for the humanity that remains common to all sides.

Chief Tony Undiandeye, your life reflects a fascinating blend of tradition and modernity, science and society, intellect and humanity, eloquence and diplomacy.

You are a man whose journey reminds us that one need not be confined to a single definition. You can be a physicist and a cultural custodian; an analyst and an orator; a hospitality enthusiast and a reconciliator. You can inhabit many worlds without losing the essence of who you are.

On this special occasion of your birthday, we celebrate the man, the mind, the voice, the heritage bearer, the bridge builder, and the many gifts that you bring to your community and beyond.

May this new chapter bring you renewed strength, sound health, deeper wisdom, greater fulfilment, and abundant opportunities to continue making a difference. May your voice continue to command attention when truth needs expression. May your knowledge continue to illuminate. May your love for culture continue to preserve what must never be forgotten. May your gift of reconciliation continue to mend relationships and build bridges.

And may the years ahead reward you with the peace, honour, friendship, and happiness that a life of meaningful contribution deserves.

Today, we do not simply count your years. We celebrate your journey, honour your contributions, salute your versatility, and give thanks for the gift of your presence.

May you continue to age with grace, lead with wisdom, speak with courage, serve with humility, and leave footprints worthy of remembrance.

Happy birthday to an intellectual, an orator, a custodian of heritage, a public affairs voice, a hospitality enthusiast, a multi-talented gentleman, and, above all, a reconciler of people and hearts.

Long life and greater accomplishments, Chief!

Papa Dorn Cklaimz Enamhe Celebrates 60th Birthday With Tribute to Service, Scholarship and Community Development

A prominent Cross Riverian, scholar, mediator and community leader, Papa Dorn CK Enamhe, has been celebrated on the occasion of his 60th birthday for his decades of service, scholarship, peacebuilding and advocacy for community development.

In a congratulatory message signed by the President of the Bekwarra Community Association, University of Calabar, Engr. Prof. Odey A. Osha, FCAI, Enamhe was described as a man whose life exemplifies “service, scholarship and an unwavering love for his community.”

Born and raised in Atibulum, Gakem, in Bekwarra Local Government Area of Cross River State, Enamhe has built a career spanning academia, law, mediation, community mobilisation and public advocacy.

He currently serves as a lecturer in the Department of Social Work at the University of Calabar. His academic interests and qualifications cut across several disciplines, including Agriculture, Sociology, Environmental Science, Education Law, Social Work, Public Administration and Political Science.

According to Osha, however, Enamhe’s greatest contribution extends beyond his academic accomplishments, noting that his commitment to the welfare of vulnerable people and the development of communities has distinguished him over the years.

The celebrant has played notable roles in peacebuilding and community intervention, including efforts toward the repatriation of the remains of the late Senate President, Dr. Joseph Wayas, as well as initiatives aimed at rehabilitating the Belegete communities following cross-border attacks.

As a Chartered Mediator, Enamhe has also been involved in peace and reconciliation efforts in communities across Cross River State, including Yala and Ogoja.

His advocacy for the creation of Ogoja State has further positioned him as a prominent voice on issues concerning the political and socioeconomic development of the people of the northern senatorial district.

As Convener of the Movement for the Creation of Ogoja State, Enamhe has continued to advocate for the aspirations of communities seeking greater political recognition and development.

He is also associated with the “Think Cross River” initiative, through which he has advocated for the protection and reclamation of the state’s resources and territorial interests. His advocacy has been underscored by the phrase, “coordinates do not lie.”

His appointment as Senior Special Adviser on Think Cross River by the Executive Governor of Cross River State, Senator Prince Bassey Edet Otu, was described by Osha as a recognition of his strategic advocacy and longstanding commitment to public service.

Beyond his professional and public engagements, Enamhe has received traditional recognition for his commitment to community welfare. He is known by the title “Papa Wey U Keh Balare Ukpere 1 of Basang Obanliku,” interpreted as “The Father Who Takes Care of Elders.”

Osha described the title as a reflection of Enamhe’s personality and his longstanding concern for the welfare of others.

The birthday message also celebrated Enamhe as a family man, describing him as a devoted husband to Mrs. Pam Enamhe and a loving father of four children.

As he clocks 60, the Bekwarra Community Association, University of Calabar, joined family, friends and associates in celebrating what it described as decades of visionary leadership, intellectual contribution, community service and advocacy.

Osha wished the celebrant renewed strength, peace, joy and fulfillment, expressing the hope that Enamhe would continue to make meaningful contributions to Cross River State and beyond.

“Happy Birthday, Papa,” Osha said, urging the celebrant to continue shining his light and inspiring generations to come.

Tribute To Papa DC Enamhe At 60 – A Diamond Jubilee BY OKOI OBONO-OBLA

Today is the birthday anniversary of a classmate; a conservative radical and revolutionary; an activist; a progressive politician; a lawyer; an academic; a sociologist; a Doctor of Philosophy; a fighter of worthy causes; and a man who is an enigma in every ramification.

I know him so well because our paths crossed almost fifty years ago, when we were starry-eyed boys entering secondary school, swept by innocence and totally oblivious of what the future held for us.

Even though we grew up in a country just emerging from a bloody and tragic civil war — a war that disrupted the lives of our parents in particular and the country in general — we triumphed. Notwithstanding the stumbles and setbacks we suffered here and there, we rose like the phoenix, shook off the lethargy of our environment, and made a success of our lives.

Papa DC Enamhe, congratulations on attaining 60 — your Diamond Jubilee and your entry into the club of sexagenarians — in an environment where the average life span is less than 45 and where hundreds of our contemporaries have since gone to the great beyond to enjoy the perpetual eternal rest that awaits us all whenever it pleases our Creator.

We are hard fellows, men of justice, who fight for everyone around us to our own detriment, unmindful of the dire consequences of fighting for others in a society brimming with crass opportunists.

I remember how, as boys in Mary Knoll College, Okuku, we conspired like legendary conspirators to fight what we believed was an act of consistent and persistent oppression by those bigger than us. Our audacity and courage would never allow us to see something we believed was wrong and walk away, close our eyes, and leave it unchallenged.

This rebelliousness and revulsion against the establishment, against oppression, and this quest for social justice is genetically ingrained in the veins of Papa DC. It manifested as early as when we were in Class One in 1977, when students of Mary Knoll College, enraged and peeved by the incompetence and maladministration of its Principal, Mr. E. E. Okon, revolted in the famous “Okon Must Go” protest march. That act ruffled feathers in a school established by the Catholic Church to train and prime its students to be pro-establishment and not to rock the boat.

That same rebellion against acts of oppression by senior students later led to a serious crisis between the students of Mary Knoll College and the students of the School of Basic Studies, which Mary Knoll College was then temporarily hosting, and ultimately led to the decision by the Government of the old Cross River State to relocate the School of Basic Studies from Mary Knoll to Akamkpa.

Leaders are naturally born. God bestows leadership at the point of conception in their mother’s womb and instils charismatic traits of the kind the German sociologist Max Weber wrote about — charismatic authority as a distinct form of legitimate rule, alongside traditional and legal-rational authority. Papa DC is one such leader. To that extent, in 1981, when both of us conspired to lead the rebellion that resulted in the clash against SBS students, he was the one nominated by the Mary Knoll students to speak at the Divisional Police Station in Ogoja, where the police had rounded up both combatants to resolve the matter.

That trait which you incubated in those heady, innocent days has guided, influenced, and shaped your entire life to this Diamond moment.

Many happy returns to a worthy sexagenarian.

By Elijah Ugani

Senator representing Cross River North Senatorial District, Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe, has congratulated the Senior Special Adviser to the Cross River State Governor on the Think Cross River Project, Dr. Dorn Cklaimz Enamhe, on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

In a goodwill message marking the milestone, Senator Jarigbe described Enamhe as a dedicated public servant and accomplished scholar whose life has been defined by commitment, principle and selfless service to humanity.

The lawmaker particularly acknowledged the role played by Enamhe in his political journey, noting his contributions as Director-General of the Senator’s Campaign Council during the 2023 elections.

According to Jarigbe, Enamhe deployed strategic brilliance, tactical discipline and unwavering commitment in helping to translate his political aspirations into electoral victory.

“Beyond the titles and accolades, what truly sets you apart is your character. You are a consummate scholar, a polished politician, and indeed, a man for all generations.

“Your liberality and altruistic nature have broken down age barriers, allowing you to mentor the young, inspire your peers, and honour the elders with equal grace,” the Senator said.

Jarigbe further described the celebrant as a “unifier, a bridge-builder, and a rare gem,” stressing that Enamhe’s contributions to society had earned him widespread respect across generations.

The Senator, who is currently overseas on an official engagement, joined family, friends and associates of the celebrant in celebrating the milestone and offered prayers for his continued good health and strength.

“May this 60th year open the floodgates of bountiful blessings and just recompense for your years of hard work, unyielding resilience, and remarkable selflessness.

“May you eat the fruits of your labour and see your children’s children in peace and prosperity,” Jarigbe prayed.

He congratulated Dr. Enamhe on attaining the landmark age of 60 and wished him many more years of good health, fulfilment and impactful service to humanity.

Gov Otu Hails CDI Undiandeye at 58 as Pride of C’RIVER

Cross River State governor, Senator Bassey Otu, has described the Chief of Defence Intelligence, Lieutenant General Emmanuel Akomaye Parker Undiandeye, as a quintessential soldier, accomplished intelligence chief and illustrious son of the state, whose life exemplifies courage, honour and distinguished service.

In a goodwill message issued on Tuesday, by his Chief Press Secretary and Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Linus Obogo, to mark Parker’s 58 birthday, Governor Otu said the General’s remarkable ascent from Bedia in Cross River State to the commanding heights of Nigeria’s defence and intelligence architecture was “a stirring testament to the triumph of discipline, courage, intellectual rigour and an unyielding devotion to duty.”

The governor said the Chief of Defence Intelligence had, through years of meritorious service and distinguished national and international assignments, etched his name “in the noble tradition of military excellence and patriotic sacrifice,” earning the admiration of Nigerians and the pride of his home state.

Otu noted that Undiandeye’s elevation to the rank of Lieutenant General, as well as the rare distinction of becoming the first occupant of the office of Chief of Defence Intelligence to be decorated as a three-star general, were fitting tributes to “a career adorned with competence, strategic vision and uncommon professionalism.”
“As the 17th Chief of Defence Intelligence, you continue to bring to the onerous task of safeguarding our nation a rare blend of intellect, experience, calm leadership and strategic foresight,” the governor said, adding that the intelligence chief’s leadership had further underscored the importance of professionalism and dedication in the service of the nation.

Governor Otu further described the senior military officer as a source of immense pride to the people of Cross River State and an inspiration to younger generations, saying his illustrious career affirmed that “greatness is the inevitable reward of preparation, perseverance and fidelity to noble ideals.”

The governor offered prayers for the continued well-being and success of the defence chief, saying: “As you celebrate another glorious year, I pray that Almighty God will continually surround you with divine favour and protection, renew your strength for the demanding tasks ahead, and crown your path with greater wisdom, honour and enduring accomplishments in service to our beloved nation.”
“May your days be long, your health remain robust, and your illustrious career continue to soar to even loftier heights,” Otu said, as he congratulated Undiandeye on behalf of the Government and good people of Cross River State, wishing him “many more years of fulfilment, distinction and abiding grace.” He added:

“Happy Birthday, my brother, General Undiandeye. You are indeed, a soldier of courage, a patriot of uncommon distinction and a shining beacon of service, excellence and national pride.”

Excerpts From Governor Bassey Otu’s Remarks at Senator Jarigbe Agom’s 55th Birthday event at Hilton Hotel in Abuja

Compiled By Agba Jalingo

“I want to say that nobody came to this world for nothing, that whoever it is, was created by God for nothing. But each and everyone cannot be blessed at the same time. But the bridge between people achieving that purpose is how to manage, navigate to get to that date of promotion. So I celebrate people who are people oriented and are loved by the people. Distinguished Senator Jarigbe Agom, seems to be one. Who is so entwined with his people, which is a direct opposite of some people who carry on without a pulpit, which of course is a problem to society.

“55 years, he is still a young gentleman. I know that in my school days, when they say somebody is 50, I’ll say oooh that person is gone. But look at me here today, 55 is far behind me and I am still kicking and also very very strong.

“Senator Jarigbe Agom, I bring you many more felicitations from all of Cross River State, both home and abroad, to say that they are happy with you. They wish you the best, long life and prosperity. At some time, politically, Cross River State was divided. And the major opposition was distinguished Senator Jarigbe Agom, because of his people oriented policies. But today, Cross River State is one, because of their coming. They came from all nooks and crannies.

“When I came in here, I didn’t expect people to come all the way from the villages, particularly on a Tuesday like this, but I was surprised to come and see almost, from Councilors, House of Assembly members, Chairmen, the chairmen here you cannot count. Chairmen of local governments and their deputies, and other members who of course share his blessings with him. And you see all our governors here, that indicates something.

“So one of the reasons for finding time to come here is that, Cross River State is going forward and will never go back. Our achievements within this time are quite enormous. God has done very well in our State. We are breaking new grounds and making new endings. That is why we need everybody to come together to do the needful so that the difference will be glaring. We are taking it from where our forebears left it, we have added value in all ramifications and I can assure you that when you cascade, when you move down, you will see that you have people who are ready to take the mantle and continue to lead the State forward.

“Senator Jarigbe Agom, we wish you the very best in life. 55 is a giant age, but at 55, you have gained enough experience. In terms of maturity, you can take a decision in any sphere of life. At this stage, you are committed. We want to wish you the best. What the future holds, we don’t know, power belongs to God, but I know that there are better days to come.”

HE Senator Prince Bassey Otu.
