Nigeria: Setbacks and Way forward through Structural Re-organization

Opinion

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

Opinion

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

Opinion, Politics

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.

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.

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…
