This was done in a joint press conference organised on the 29th of December, 2024.         Among their major areas of concern where they want government prompt intervention are: 1. *Electricity*:  It is pathetic that since the creation of the earth,  most communities and towns have never had  electricity and up till today.  As of today, *NO  TOWN OR COMMUNITY IN THE WHOLE OF UZEA KINGDOM HAS ELECTRICITY* it is verifiable.  2.  *Education*: The whole of Uzea Kingdom  doesn't have secondary schools in most of its towns, and communities are a reality....

Unless we want to descend into a state of lawlessness, ...

She just suddenly forgot about the land until I was told he has built a temporary church on it and always telling his church members to pray that God should collect the land for them. The guy that told me even explained tha...
