 A brave 6-year-old Indiana boy managed to free himself and seek help for his mom and dad, who "wouldn't wake up" after being in a terrible car accident. On the evening of June 12th, 33-year-old Jordan Walters and his wife, 33-year-old Sierra, were traveling on State Road 350 with their young children 6-year-old Knight and his 4-year-old brother Kyro. As the family was traveling along the eastbound lane, a 2006 Ford F-150 traveling in the opposite direction crossed the centerline.  This resulted in a catastrophic head-on collision that sent the Walters' GMC Terrain hurtling from the roadway. It would eventually come to rest in a roadside embankment.  After the devastating accident, Knight was able to free himself from his booster seat. The young hero had suffered an injury to his arm that would ultimately require surgery as well as a lacerated spleen. Despite these injuries after freeing himself, Knight checked on his parents and brother. He reportedly tried to wake h...

 Sen. Degi Warns Senate Against giving Bayelsa Communities to Rivers. 

 

The immediate past Senator representing Bayelsa East Senatorial District, Sen. Biobarakuma W Degi - Eremienyo  has faulted a proposed amendment to the Border Communities Development Agency Act, warning that it could trigger inter-communal conflict and undermine Bayelsa State’s territorial and economic interests.


Degi raised the concern while reacting to a bill sponsored by Senator Benson Agadaga seeking to amend the Border Communities Development Agency Act, 2003, as amended in 2006.


The former lawmaker expressed opposition to provisions in the proposed legislation, which is scheduled for a second reading in the Senate and seeks to remove some communities in Nembe Local Government Area of Bayelsa State and attach them to Rivers State.


According to him, the affected communities are historically, administratively and geographically part of Nembe Local Government Area and should not be excised through legislative action.


Describing the claims contained in the bill as false, misleading and capable of provoking inter-communal tensions, Degi warned that the proposal could create avoidable disputes between Bayelsa and Rivers communities.


He further cautioned that the passage of the bill could have serious economic implications for Bayelsa State, including the possible loss of 13 per cent derivation revenue accruing from oil and gas wells located in the affected communities.


Drawing from his experience as a member of the Federal Government Committee on the Disputed Oil Fields Verification Exercise between Bayelsa and Rivers states in 2000, Degi maintained that the communities referenced in the Border Communities Development Agency Act, 2006, have always been recognized as part of Nembe Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.


He therefore called on Senator Benson Agadaga and the 10th Senate to discontinue the bill or amend it to remove the contentious provisions, stressing that boundary adjustment and demarcation remain the exclusive responsibility of the National Boundary Commission.


The former Bayelsa East Senator also urged lawmakers at all levels to maintain regular consultations with their constituents to ensure that legislative actions reflect the wishes and interests of the people they represent.
