Edo State of Nigeria has been classified among the States in critical financial condition by the recent release of the financial conditions of the States of the Nigerian Federation by the Governor’s Forum, a great initiative of Prince Asishana Okauru who is the Director General of the Governors Forum. And many Nigerians that spoke to National Peoples News are full of praise for the organization for speaking out the true situation so that quick remedies can be worked out to salvage these states from total collapse.
In the case of Edo State the major cause of this Failure is due to successive bad and kleptomaniac leadership of the state for the past 12 years since the beginning of this nascent democratic dispensation in 1999.
The State gets the normal funds from the Federations Account and also as a Petroleum Producing State get part of the 25% derivative allocations to the Petroleum Producing state monthly as well are getting support from the Niger Delta Region Agency that was formed by the federal government to assists all the States of the Niger Delta to achieve rapid social and economic progress.
The various governors of Edo State only achieved ruining the state through massive looting of the treasuries of the good people of Edo State.

Now what can be done to restore Edo State back to its former greatness?
The only solution is to vote into office in 2012 a competent Governor that will take Edo State to greatness…Prince Frank Onaivi Ukonga , a great son of Edo State has been persuaded by his people to contest in the governorship election of 2012 and hopefully, if he wins then we are optimistic that he has the capacity and international connections to take Edo state to the promised land.
Right now Edo state has no single industry that is functioning or any functioning Factory in the great state. A State that has a population of above 4 Million people.
 Many of the sons and daughters of the great state have checked out to other states in Nigeria while some have traveled abroad in search of greener pasture. Whereas in Edo state God has blessed them with virtually everything that can make them the leading state among the 36 federating states of Nigeria.
Edo state is blessed with Petroleum, lime stone, calcite, granite, ferrous iron, gold diamond, radium, uranium, barium and many other valuable minerals.
The agriculture and animal husbandry is also blessed as Edo state has cocoa, cashew, palm oil, timber, rubber lattice, cotton, ginger, etc.. And as in food crop Edo state is also a leading state. The only problem with Edo state is the wrong leadership. And once Edo State can vote for the right person in the forth coming election then they are set for greatness.
The educational sectors were Edo State used to lead other states has plummeted with the advent of the draconian rule of Adams Oshiomale who charges exorbitant fees from all the schools of Edo State. For instance in the universities and Polytechnics the fees was at N15000 Naira before Adams Oshiomale came to power but after he resume he hiked the fees to N80,000 Naira making it virtually impossible for the parent to afford to sent their siblings to higher institutions. And it is the same for secondary schools.
Prince Frank Onaivi Ukonga has promised in his Manifesto, that if elected the Edo State governor in the 2012 general elections, he is going to make education free  and qualitative at all levels; as he believes that a sound education is the greatest asset, a state can ever bequeath its people.
Currently Adams Oshiomale is taxing the Edo State peoples to their blood. He has recently introduced a transport corp. similar to the FRSC of the federal government competing with the agencies under the presidency in order to create a quasi sovereignty of Edo state and put the state into slavery in perpetuity as his colleague Gov Raji Fashola is doing in Lagos. They belong to the same ACN party. There method is to Rule using the methods and philosophy of Machiavelli to control, dominate and enslave the people through stilt, disinformation, brute force and unusual tragedies, systematic disparaging and impoverishment of perceived opponents and a blatant arrogance that they have a monopoly of wisdom. We all know this is a pathological disease suffered by people evincing a deep sense of guilt and self pity of lack of adequate expositions and enlightenment.
Recently Adams Oshiomale demolished the houses of a former great military Governor of the state General Osaigbovo Ogbemudia and that of Senator Owie because they belong to the opposition coalition of parties that are ready to wrestle power form him come 2012 polls. That is how his demolition squad demolishes the houses of millions of people in the state for questionable infrastructural developments at over inflated bills to the great peace loving people of Edo State.

THE GREAT PLANS OF PRINCE FRANK UKONGA TO DEVELOP EDO STATE:
Prince Frank Onaivi Ukonga studied Road ,Bridges and Highway Construction from a prestigious Soviet Union [Russia] University so the aspects of infrastructural development is his field of study and he is going to develop all the Edo State Roads, Bridges, Airports, Stadiums, Town Halls, dams, boreholes, electricity, and other infrastructures in partnerships with his former class mates in Russia using direct labor system which is going to create lots of jobs. The amiable Prince of Igarra said the direct labor force in infrastructural development of the state which he is going to implement as an expert in the field will create at least 0ne million jobs and also train Road and civil engineers in his former school in Russia…
 “I promise that Edo state is going to get the first biggest asphalt/ bitumen production factory , a modern quarry industry and would be the largest in Africa in the aspect of provisions of Road and civil construction raw materials like building blocks, cement, iron rods, flat sheets, angles…electrical components bulbs…glass making factories.. Granites, tiles, plumbing materials, interior decoration and roofing materials, nails, aluminum roofing, asbestos roofing materials etc…we call this in Russia – “stroitelnoye materialov”  and it’s a very big profitable industry...this will increase to hundred folds the resources of the state-
Alhaji Aliko Dangote is the richest man in Africa because he is investing in that field of construction material of cement etc and he never studied that field in school…
But I studied it in school. I can tell you how to make cement, build the components that will process the lime stone and will grind and heat it into powder and use either the wet method or the dry method… same with the manufacture of bitumen, asphalt, tiles, paint, iron rods, roofing sheets , nail making and virtually all building and construction materials. I can in a jiffy put up any factory including cable factories, tools factories…just name it… we do a lot of practical in Russian Schools but remember I will not build these factories in my name, I will build them for Edo state people , in their name…you must understand that Prince Frank Onaivi Ukonga is an acetic Prince.. That is such Princes that hates the mundane accumulation of money and material wealth for personal use and hates ostentatious living…I am like Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Nehru…Murtala Mohammed, Aminu Kano, Obafemi Awolowo, ….”.
In the aspects of industry the Prince promise an industry to be sited in  every local Government area  in the state… the big industries will span food canning, ginnery, textile, cement production, fertilizer productions lines, palm oil processing factories, tools making factories, cocoa processing factories, refineries, automobile manufacturing factories ,computer and electronic manufacturing factories, cable manufacturing factories, Plastic manufacturing, pulp and paper manufacturing factories, printing presses, and also to invest heavily into small and medium scale industries… he is also convinced that Edo state should be the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria in the distribution of all goods in the country as it is located in the heart of Nigeria. So warehouses will be built to stock and distribute goods from all manufacturers in the country.
He also promises to support market women by building good affordable stores and markets all over the state and also give direct grants to all market women in the state.
Scholarships and bursary awards to all students of EDO State as well as social security salary to be paid to people without jobs…it may not be much but everybody must get something from the Prince at the end of every month to keep body and soul together.
As for the hospitals; new hospital with modern equipments, will be built in all local government headquarters of the state..
And pharmaceutical companies will be invited to Edo State to manufacture the genuine drugs for the state great citizen. “We shall not tolerate fake drugs in Edo state as soon as I become the governor of the state.”
 Said the Prince of Kukuruku Provinces, principalities and powers.
 “My birth was a foretold one …and I reincarnated from the spirit realm into the material world to come and help people, and alleviate their sufferings., bringing smiles and joys to their faces…that is my destiny in life….I hate treasury looters; if I am in the position of power I will execute or give life jail terms to treasury looters…just as done in China and Russia…”
As for water, it is also his field of study and he has promised to provide drinking water to run in the now dry taps of the Edo peoples.
As for electricity, because of our need for rapid development we shall assist the federal government to generate electricity of above 5000 MW to the national grid.
As for Steel rolling mill he offered the following…” No nation or State can become an industrial giant without the capacity to produce liquid steel. We shall commence our liquid steel rolling mill the first day I become the governor of the state…and this will attract investors to the state like bees to honey”
As for sports, culture and youth development the prince promised to take the state to the highest level of sports, youth and cultural development…
As for Education he promised to build new universities, secondary schools, research centers, nursing schools, agricultural and technologically equipped polytechnics and to invest in nursery and primary education.
“I strongly believe that the aspects of industrial and agricultural development should not be left for the private sector alone… I believe in a well managed mixed economic and industrial state and my prerogative will be to form and run numerous factories and industries and to partner the private investors through share acquisition and access to state debenture capitals, Tax relief incentives as well as tax deductibles…”
“Most of what I will do to revamp Edo state , I wrote in my award winning book published in 1992 – The Seething World- Reparations for the Black Race- the book is a modern dictionary of how to develop and govern a state to success; the book made the Deans list of Northwestern University In Illinois State of the United States along with the book of Prof. Wole Shoyinka and Prof Ade Ajayi as most valuable books of the Human Race,-a very short list of 20 most valuable books of the world- it also made the list of most valuable books of Open Library of America along the books of  great sages like President Kwame Nkrumah, Leopold Senghor former President of Senegal, and Secou Toure former president of Guinea…also a very short list..., and also classified by the United State Library of Congress as a most valuable book, as well as in many countries of Europe, Asia and Africa…”
“It also made the Wikipedia list in the Deway class of best books ever written by mankind- also a very short list and the Google books, Amazon books, E-bay, GET Cited, Abe books, Yahoo books, and all the book marketing sites of the internet on their own digitized the book without my knowledge and are selling it and using it to promote their sites. I am talking of big corporate institutions of the world investing courageously in a book without seeking the author’s permission…they would not take such great risk if the book is not a genius material, of course a golden book has no hiding place as the adage goes…Many of the great ideas in the book are being adapted by many countries of the world…”
“When a book is classified as most valuable category, what it means in most cases is that you have to get permission from an Attorney at law or a recognized, qualified Lawyer, to have access to my books in most exclusive libraries of the world”
“I appeal to the entire peoples of Edo State, to the entire great peoples of Nigeria and to all the powers there be, to the shakers and movers of the country and to the entire world in generality to assist me become the Governor of Edo State come 2012 general election so that we can all join hands to make the great legacies of king Ewuare, of King Esige, of queen Idia, great again….I am begging with honesty, humility and nobility…
Long Live Edo State …Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Amen.”
The Amiable, handsome, gentle, soft spoken Prince concluded.
By all indication, the Prince is a great asset to Edo State, the Nigerian Federation and the world in generality in the aspect of polished, educated and enlightened, post modern human resource development.
