“Mr Project”: Beyond The Title, By Prince Udensi

Opinion

By Prince Udensi When Hon. Uko Nkole left the Federal Capital Administration as a town planner in development control, only one thought remained indissoluble in his mind, the urge to contribute his quota towards the development of his immediate constituency, and home state of Abia. Already, his father and patriarch of the Nkole family was a detribalized community leader, who until his demise dedicated greater part of his life towards augmenting humanity, especially at his immediate constituency of Arochukwu/Ohafia in his capacity as a senior manager of the Central Bank of Nigeria. Leaving trails of quintessential performance at the FCA,…

Fighting Insecurity: When We Must Support The Police, By Ifeanyi Okali

Opinion

The police as the foremost law enforcement agency oftentimes come under fierce attack and destructive criticisms as a result of unprofessional conduct of few persons who have continued to portray the force in a bad light. Most often also, when they deliver incredible milestone in an effort to make the rest of us and our entire family sleep with our eyes close, it faintly make headlines in the newspapers. Irrespective of the angle from where we may view them, the police are the number one law enforcement body and the first point of protection for the civil populace. Have you…

Ben Kalu Should Be Part Of A Progressive Abia, By John Okiyi Kalu

Opinion, Politics

I am sure that Ben Kalu will never vote for RUGA even if compelled by his party caucus In the House. His actions when farmlands were destroyed by herders within his constituency gives me that much confidence Bende Federal Constituency has a way of producing some of the finest legislators representing Abia State at the National Assembly. That constituency gave us the best ever female legislator in the person of our Amazon Hon. Nnenna Ukeje aka Ada Bende. She was exceptional in the House and delivers effortlessly on our legislative agenda without making any fuss about it. Hon Ben Kalu,…

2023 Governorship Election: Mben Easter Homecoming: Ohafia Poised To Make A Statement, By Prince Udensi

Opinion, Politics

By Prince Udensi As the apex socio cultural and political group of Ohafia prepares ahead of it's maiden homecoming symposium, it is yet another reminder of the strategic and iconic importance of what the UDUMEZE people represents, not only in it's unique socio-cultural exhibition, but also it's complacent role in shaping the political history of God's own State. That an Ohafian is yet to occupy the government house as the number one citizen of the state beats all known logical permutations, despite it's strategic political significance and considerations. However, the fact that it has provided the much necessarily allegiance and…

OPINION: Balancing The Power Equation In Abia State Come 2023, By Arkin Rock Mba Ahukanna

Opinion, Politics

BALANCING THE POWER EQUATION IN ABIA STATE COME 2023: The creation of Abia state out of the old Imo state in 1991 was greeted with much excitement and euphoria. Abia was born and predicated on the idea that creating a new state called Abia would be a tool for rapid even socio-economic and infrastructural development across the nook and cranny of the area without any section or zone feeling marginalised, discriminated against or even neglected. It was also aimed at bringing government closer to the people and give all component parts and people a due sense of belonging without any…

RANTINGS OF A LOW LIFE AND BOHEMIAN SENATOR SMART ADEYEMI

Opinion

By Chinyemike Torti For veteran media practitioners familiar with the manic depressive, disposition of Smart Adeyemi, the visuals of his bohemian theatrics on the Senate chamber, did not come as surprise. All his career, and in engagements both in private and official capacities, he is always been a manifest poster boy of adult delinquency. He is probably one of the reasons why the Federal government restricted the use of Codeine and Tramadol tablets. Here is a country bumpkin from the backwaters of Iyara Town, in Ijumu Local Government, of Kogi State that cannot be geo-tracked or charted on the GPS…

OPINION: ABIA an Investment Haven: NBS is right after all

Opinion

By Kennedy Onyenma. It is no longer news that Abia State is the third most preferred investment destination in Nigeria. Thanks to the impartial judges at the National Bureau of Statistics( NBS). Abia comes next to Lagos and Abuja with an inflow of 56.1m USD in 2020.

OPINION: Pendulum: Trust me, something fishy is going on

Opinion

By Dele Momodu Fellow Nigerians let me start by saying that I hate conspiracy theories generally. The reason is simple. They are like superstitions. They are not capable of any logical, rational, scientific analysis or basis yet people have wholesale beliefs in them. They consider them to be true, even though they know they are stranger than fiction. It is almost impossible not to engage in all manner of guesswork, speculation and conjecture in Nigeria. The rumour-mill is one of the most vibrant, and sometimes lucrative, pastimes in our clime. Indeed, rumour mongering is a national pastime at which Nigerians…
