The meeting marks several activities from, opening prayer to praise and worship. As a culture of KUF, the anthem of the Kengema Unity Forum was rec
ited by the members to reawaken the minds for standing focus on the core objective of the association.

He assured the people that, KUF is in struggle, a struggle to support democracy and protection of the interest of Kengema Kalabari in all sphere of life and KUF is doing that without any heart of bitterness but through the application of wisdom.
The influx of new members into this group is quite over whelming as men and women in different age brackets (old and young) remained eagerly ready to submit their membership form to the KUF registry in an orderly-arranged queue.

“I am very happy today because, one of my wish has been done. I am not exaggerating, KUF is pride of the Kalabari Kingdom. Many other groups and associations, including those I have been member to, had sold their conscience and are inconsistent with their objectives and aim. I have watched in distance, I have been encourage and already convinced by the selfless services of the members and leaders of KUF, more especially, the founder Hon. Amb. Soboma Jackrich, which is why I step in to contribute my quota towards supporting democracy and projecting Kalabari Kingdom to the world”.
On issues in politics,’’ the Director of operation, Barr.
