The Green, White and Black fabric is neither a personal invention nor an individual enterprise.

It has become imperative for me to break my silence and address the palpable misinformation and deliberate misrepresentation currently being peddled in the public domain by one of our own, Mr. Eldorado Ade, concerning the Nkim and Bakor fabrics.
For the purpose of clarity, historical accuracy, and preservation of communal harmony, I wish to place the following facts on record:
1. On the Conception of the Nkim Fabric
Contrary to the self-aggrandizing narrative being circulated, Mr. Eldorado Ade was not the sole progenitor of the idea to adopt the Nkim fabric. He was, indeed, part of a collective deliberation that included Hon. Modey Boniface , Councillor representing Ogoja Urban Ward 1, and a handful of other committed stakeholders. To ascribe the entirety of this initiative to one individual is a gross distortion of history and an affront to the collaborative spirit that birthed it.
2. On the Proprietorship of the Green, White and Black Fabric
The Green, White and Black fabric is neither a personal invention nor an individual enterprise. It is the intellectual and cultural property of the revered aged age grade in Nkim Clan, Ishig Awilin. The attribution of this heritage to Mr. Eldorado Ade is therefore both erroneous and presumptuous.
3. On the Bakor Unity Fabric Meeting
Mr. Eldorado Ade was duly invited, in his capacity as a stakeholder from Nkim, to the Bakor unity meeting. He honored the invitation. During the proceedings, the agenda for a unified Bakor fabric was tabled. There was *no acrimony, no disagreement. Fabrics were merely sampled, and a subsequent date was unanimously agreed upon for the ratification and conclusion of the process. That conclusive meeting is yet to be convened.
It is therefore baffling and deeply disappointing to witness Mr. Eldorado Ade now engage in a campaign of misinformation, misleading unsuspecting Bakorians and the Nigerian public at large. This infantile conduct serves no purpose other than to sow seeds of discord and undermine the collective aspirations of our people.
Enough of this triviality.
Our preoccupation as Bakor people must remain the pursuit of unity, cohesion, and progress. We must resist the temptation to allow individual grandstanding to fracture what our forebears labored to build.
I therefore urge all sons and daughters of Bakor land to remain steadfast, focused, and patient as we await the formal outcome and resolution from the Bakor Executive on the matter of the unity fabric.
Let truth prevail. Let unity reign.
