OPINION: Agony Of Losing 4 Children, 3 Others and complacency of Abia Government, By Ifeanyi Okali

Opinion

The recent death of seven Abia citizens in a mysterious manner ought to have by now given the government a serious concern, but like many other things in the state, all we get is a deafening silence, inaction and docility, like the proverbial ostrich, we bury our head in sand pretending that nothing has happened. Life goes on. This again speaks volume as to how much the life of an average Nigerian is worth in a society where we wake up everyday to the news of countless number of persons dispatched to early graves on the account of the unabated…

Akwa Ibom 2023: Why Governor Udom Emmanuel May Not Produce A Successor By Nkereuwem Mendie

Opinion, Politics

Considerably, I will agree with myself that i have missed the struggle for constant agitation for better welfarism, and even representation from Government at all levels. I am not yet back, still observing my spiritual cleansing while taking cognisance of some political possible indices to whosoever will emerge as the Governor of Akwa Ibom State before the Creation of Itai State. Political gladiators have activated their games ahead of time and lunched campaign strategy to position themselves as the most acceptable and preferred candidate in the forth coming elections... Its my earnest desire to see their dreams become reality but…

OPINION: Why I admire Obasanjo – Andrew Omokaro

Opinion

After so many research to figure out who has actually worked hard for the good governance of our country after the independence of 1960 that has never be, I found out he was our ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo who succeeded Murtala Muhammed who was killed, on 13 February 1976. I'm a living evidence of that period of time because I just came back from US on holidays in Lagos. The assassination was so sad he has not even completed a one year term of his presidency. However, let me go to the point. It's a pity Olusegun Obasanjo is stricken up…

OPINION: Are we cursed or we are the cause of our problems? By Patrick Osagie Eholor

Opinion

Are we cursed or we are the cause of our problems? I mean, the journey of the black race? the Nigeria we experience? Freedom is the necessary antidote for self determination in human race. Power is an avenue to create a progressive society; Liberty projects mental development. The era of slavery and colonization brought about the dehumanization of the black race and inflicted on us the wrong mentality of second class which has hunted us for ages. At this age and time we have achieved abolition of slavery and independence from colonization. But as a people there is still a…

Orji Kalu’s Throne Attitude and Time Enemies Give Up

Opinion

By Kevin Onyemaechi Eze I have known a long time ago that human beings especially politicians , no matter how you choose to look at them , are not yet grounded in the art of allowing common sense and wisdom to take centre- stage. They still play politics of bitterness, hatred and jealousy and sell themselves to undue emotionalism. Long enough Orji Uzor Kalu has been on the road- in the thoughts- in the know- in many ways. Business successes, a romance national and international politics , found himself in the muddy waters, but still in the same politics that…

OPINION: 2023: TIME TO FIX NIGERIA (1)

Opinion

By Aminu Mohammed The APC promised Nigerians milk and honey in exchange for our votes but what we have today is blood and human carcasses everywhere. Where did we go wrong? May 29, 2021 made it exactly 21 years from 1999 when Nigerians had another feel of fresh air after 16 years of military rule from 1983 to 1999. Again, Nigeria is now 61 years as a free nation from British bondage. Sixty-one years after independence, the simple question on the lips of every citizen is, are we there yet? In summation, Nigeria is still grappling with numerous problems ranging…

OPINION: Celebrating Democracy in an Absolute Dictatorial Regime, By M.O.Idam, Esq.

Opinion

By M.O.Idam, Esq. Mr. President literarily admitted that he deliberately banned Twitter to make communication difficult in case of any attempt to repeat "ENDSARS". Perhaps, the Attorney General should now inform him that Nigerians are back on twitter. With rapt attention I keenly listened to General Buhari's interviews, all i saw was a man whose haughtiness and arrogance deprived the opportunity to conscientize with his people. I saw a man who is aware of the total disenchantment across the length and breath of the country caused by hardship, pain, anger, hunger and killings as occasioned by his administration, but lacks…
