The Enemies Of Warri’s Progress

 By Sunny Ikhioya

The vultures are gathering again. Those whose sources of income depend on the crises in Warri and environs have started beating the drums, and the zombie foot soldiers are going about destroying and scattering without caring about the consequences of their actions. They are not moved by the fact that Warri, a once bubbling and welcoming city, is now a shadow of its former self. 

They are not bothered by the facts that a city that was once the centre for commerce and industry now witnessed skilled and qualified hands migrating out in droves. They are contented by the activities of local warlords who lack wisdom and understanding. The other day, Saturday 23rd August 2025, I was with a group of friends when someone ran to us, telling us that some cutlass wielding youths are terrifying the whole area, attacking the procession of a happy people celebrating the anniversary of their king.
