He didn\u2019t allow his environment and the circumstances of his birth to weigh him down to become an ingrate to God. He took to the worship of God and continue to soldier on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, don\u2019t say I have nobody to train me that is why I join secret cult or I\u2019m vandalising pipelines or I\u2019m taking to crime. If you read his biography, you will agree with me that he walked through the road of hardship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is really nothing you are passing through today, that people had not passed through before. So, I want to use this opportunity to encourage especially our youths to desist from this acts of criminality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur environment has already been polluted by the oil companies. We are suffering from that degradation. But now, you are adding to it by doing illegal refining. What you are doing is worse than what the oil companies are doing. You are killing all of us in installments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also cautioned them to steer clear from cultism and other criminal activities tarnishing the good image of the state and embrace the various programmes government is putting in place to better their lot.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the life and legacies of Pa Dick Akpolo, he remarked that the departed octogenarian lived a life worthy of emulation regardless of the difficult circumstances he experienced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bayelsa State government has again urged youths in the state to desist from polluting the environment through illegal refining of petroleum products.
