I join the people of the Great Idjerhe Kingdom to congratulate their King for earning the Ph. D degree in Mass Communication. With this academic accomplishment, HRM Obukohwo Monday Whisky has exemplified the saying that “knowledge is power”. The Idjerhe monarch is a veteran journalist, an activist in the trenches of the Niger Delta struggle for political autonomy, resource control and justice. With his new academic laurel we hope that HRM will deploy his sagacious mind to the transformation of Idjerhe Kingdom, the Urhobo Nation, and the Niger Delta.
