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…

OPINION: Social Revolution Is The Only Remedy To Our Problems, By Patrick Osagie Eholor

Opinion

By Patrick Osagie Eholor I would say stop talking about President Muhammadu Buhari If you are not comfortable with his administration. Someone must've voted for him, or rather he falsified the election result to become President. Nevertheless, 90% of the Nigerian population don't want him as their president but guess what; He's still there on the throne of gold doing too little or nothing to solve the dramatic situation putting the citizens down on their kneels to end the injustice. Everyone continue to complain about Buhari, If you don't want Buhari organize a peaceful collective and massive march protest with…

Rt. Hon Uko Nkole And His Array Of Offences, By Godwin Okeagu

Opinion

According to the canonical gospels, Jesus was arrested and tried by the Sanhedrin, and then sentenced by Pontius Pilate to be scourged, and finally crucified by the Romans for his array of Offences. Let me take a pulse to ask; what were his offences? The savior was accused and found guilty of various offenses, including but not limited to the healing of the sick on the Sabbath, threatening to destroy the Jewish Temple and rebuilding it in three days, practicing sorcery, exorcising people by the power of demons, teaching his people the truth and showing them the way to life…

OPINION: Chief of Army Staff’s Appointment As Missed Opportunity For National Unity, By Farooq Kperogi

Opinion

By Farooq Kperogi Progressive Muslim northerners are embarrassed to no end by the extreme and unprecedented Arewaization of appointments by the Buhari regime. The appointment of my namesake, Major General Farouk Yahaya, as Chief of Army Staff to succeed the late Lieutenant General Ibrahim Attahiru who died in a plane crash on May 21 is yet another tone-deaf but entirely predictable mismanagement of Nigeria’s diversity at a time it desperately needs to be cared for with deliberate symbolic nourishment. There is no question that General Yahaya is qualified for the job. His CV shows evidence of immense professional and academic…

Uko Nkole: Scaling The Hurdles To Stardom, By Prince Udensi

Opinion

When I left Calabar for Umuahia as an undergraduate to participate in the December 2018 NAASS senate congress, among the programs scheduled for the event was the award of performing lawmakers from the state, ranging from state to federal as comrades came together to analyze achievements of elected lawmakers as regards to who returned best in the their various categories. From State lawmakers to senatorial district, there was stiff rivalry and heated debate between student leaders and organizers on whom should emerge best from the three legislative categories, when it got to the best house of Representatives member, all and…

OPINION: Uko Nkole: The Abaji, Abam Knows! Part 2, (ROADS AND BRIDGES IN FOCUS)

Opinion

Prior to the election of Hon. Uko Nkole into the house of representatives, travelling to Abam through the Umuahia-Bende route was a drastic nightmare for drivers, during the dry season it was a bumpy and dusty ride roughly an estimated journey of 3hrs, while in the raining season it was completely in-motorable. Drivers who are mostly Ohafia indigenes always breeze past the road, for Uzuakoli route. Also prior to the election of Hon. Uko Nkole into the green chambers, there was no vehicular access into ndi ebe Abam due to the collapse of the bridge sometime around 2013. The Atan…
