Opinion: Anambra 2021: Capacity Is Not Making Wild Claims But Proving It, By Tai Emeka Obasi

Anambra 2021: Capacity Is Not Making Wild Claims But Proving It. By Tai Emeka Obasi After the different party primaries, the Anambra 2021 Guber campaigns took a very different turn. Major contenders from major parties faced serious challenges. The 2021 Guber party primaries exposed ndi Anambra for what they are - fierce competitors! Apart from YPP, every other major party presented a bogus number of aspirants, none willing to be sidelined. From bizarre disqualifications to 11th hour introduction of super delegates, down to stataco direct primaries, all the three major parties invited more than their monies' worth of problems. Unknown…

EndSars Experience: Police Brutality Lingers

EndSars Experience: Police Brutality Lingers By now the much needed change should have started. Visible evidence to correct the anomalies and abuse of power are still eluding. How much longer shall we wait? The entire country is in distress with the unethical behavior of men in uniform in discharging their duties. It's normal to learn from experience and make necessary corrections. But from the body language and actions of the Nigeria Police Force, they seem unrepentant. 20th of October, 2021 marked the one year anniversary of the endsars protest by the Nigerian youths. Expectations were high on the needed reforms…

OPINION: Hon. Dr. Hamza Talba, Capable Hand For PDP National Youth Leader

OPINION: Hon. Dr. Hamza Talba, Capable Hand For PDP National Youth Leader

By Engr. Jafaru Abubakar, Jalingo With the zoning of some offices of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to the North which includes the National Youth Leader among others, many of you will agree with me that there is no state that is best looked upon to produce the National Youth Leader other than Kano state. Kano is the only state in the entire North that since its inception has maintained her win for the PDP till date, and this is not far from reason been that the youths are always standing to her defense. It is to this and many…

Nigeria: Setbacks and Way forward through Structural Re-organization

By Mr. Ireke Ejindu Mang and Bar. Nwulari Kalu Udeh-kelvin Democracy as we know is the government of the people,by the people and for the people.But however this definition has become a mockery in Nigeria. For over two decades we have practiced Democracy of the few, by the thugs disguised as politicians.These politicians have usurped our public wealth to immensely enrich themselves and their cronies. A true democracy is people oriented, people promoted, sustained by the people for the benefit of the people . For a democracy to be successful the people of the country matters , their vote matters,…

The dilemma of Nigerian youths in nation building by Patrick Eholor

The dilemma of Nigerian youths in nation building by Patrick Eholor

By Patrick Osagie Eholor "The same old generation are being recycled in leadership, corporate and public sector creating little or no opportunity for qualified youths. This affects performance and productivity. Fresh brains comes with fresh ideas that will impact positive growth." The future of this nation visibly lies on the teeming youth population. By any progressive sense and articulation they are the leaders of tommorow and if potentials are properly harnessed brings forth a road map to sustainable development and nation building. The big question is how prepared are the youths of this nation to take up these task ahead.…

OPINION: The Atiku, Wike, Fintiri Game

For voting south, Fintiri was politically correct to be fair to him. Governor Fintiri is in the know of so many things in the PDP national politics that many of us are not privy of. He heads the PDP powerful National Convention Committee. On Wednesday, September 29, 2021, at the Akwa Ibom Governor’s residence in Abuja, 12 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors in a meeting, zoned the party chairmanship to the north. Some politicians were quick to assert that the governors’ decision did not in any way affect the party’s presidential ticket status – whether it will be zoned to…

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

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

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

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

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

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…
