SEN. ORJI UZOR KALU: The Gift of democracy to Abia North Senatorial Zone

Opinion

Best thing that happened to Abia North Senatorial Zone was electing Dr Orji Uzor Kalu to the Senate . No senator would have been able to accomplish what he has achieved in these few months despite the six months of incarceration. Thank God the Senate leadership did not listen to wailers who wanted his seat declared vacant . A seat many had occupied for longer period with next to nothing to show for it in the lives of our people. I am glad for boldly defending the Senate’s decision on the famous TVC interview , where I publicly told…

Our Banks Are Corporate PENlums

Opinion

Corruption in Nigeria is a major problem which has a devastating human cost. Without doubt, corruption kills people and traps millions more in poverty. It also undermines the global economy and threatens national security, growth and progress. The largely hidden truth is that commercial banks in Nigeria play an integral role in enabling this unpatriotic act. Corrupt officials need somewhere to hide stolen money. Yet while laws and regulations apply which require banks to do a range of checks to detect the proceeds of corruption, many banks fail to uphold them. As result they are leaving the door wide open…

WHY SERVICE CHIEFS SHOULD GO: AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT BUHARI BY PATRICK EHOLOR

Opinion

Dear Mr President, WHY SERVICE CHIEFS SHOULD GO The intention of this letter is actually to appeal to the service chiefs to turn up their letters of voluntary retirement after they have served their mandatory tenures, and another extended years of service. Since their stay in office is at the discretion of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, I have rather decided to write this letter, appealing to you in the spirit of fairness, standard procedure and progression in the service to allow the longest-serving service chiefs go after exceeding their run-out dates (ROD), which is the mandatory…

2023: Fashola lets South West cat out of APC bag

Opinion

THE debate on which zone produces Nigeria’s president in 2023, which is not new, has gained gravitas with the defection of Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC. Umahi claimed he defected because the PDP has never zoned the presidency to the South East since the return to civil rule in 1999, despite the massive support the party enjoys in the zone. Worse still, in his view, the PDP does not seem keen on doing so in 2023. But he did not say whether the APC apparatchik promised…

Why The Youths Must Align With Atiku Abubakar By Benny Umoren

Opinion, Politics

Our country is in a heat of a serious crisis that every one of us has been distracted as to paying attention to the multi-facet problems facing us as a country. The rage across the country in the past weeks via #EndSARS protest, took all the onlookers aback. Nobody expected that our youths would ever develop such guts to face the men with armoury without shivering. This is commendable, and a win for the 'Soro Soke' generation. Though, a lot of our heroes were allegedly killed by the Nigeria Army at the Lekki Tollgate protest ground, while they were holding…

Why I Love The Politics Of The North By Ugwumba Uche Nwosu

Opinion

Yesterday, the 19 Northern governors, national Assembly members from North, traditional rulers and other critical stakeholders and strategic intellectuals from the North met in Kaduna, a city renowned for its long history of hosting some of the most strategic gatherings and if you must, conspiracies, of the North. The Inspector-General of Police was also present, and you know what, the media was just allowed to take pictures before the main meeting commenced, in strict confidentiality. They give to the media what they want the media to get. The North is not more homogeneous than the South like some people have…
