Ikechukwu Iroha graduates from Hallelujah Boy to Abia Government attack dog by SunnyChukz Issac

For a while now, Ikechukwu Iroha from Amaekpu Ohafia has earned himself the reputation of being one of the foremost Hallelujah boys under the payroll of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu's government whose primary job is to attack every divergent opinion, government critic and sing Hallelujah even when it is clear that the government of Abia State has continued to fail in many parts if brought in comparison with sister states in the region, but that's not my preoccupation at the moment as other issues need to be addressed, "as e dey hot".

Pendulum: The Making of My Interview with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu By Dele Momodu

Pendulum: The Making of My Interview with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu By Dele Momodu

By Dele Momodu Fellow Nigerians, let me start by thanking God for my unusual mindset. I’m also grateful to those who have mentored me in journalism. I single out for mention here, one perfect gentleman in particular, Mr Mike Awoyinfa, who was my Editor at Weekend Concord from March 1989 to May 1990. He remains my Boss for life. Awoyinfa introduced me to the words “scoop”, “world exclusive” “inside story”, exposé, and so on. He taught me how to search for, and get, uncommon stories. For any seasoned reporter, there is no orgasm sweeter than getting that story everyone is…

The PDP Zoning Philosophy: The North Still Has The Right Of First Refusal By Senator Emmanuel Onwe

The PDP Zoning Philosophy: The North Still Has The Right Of First Refusal By Senator Emmanuel Onwe

  By way of a preamble, let me quickly preempt and lay to rest the prevailing mood in the country: the paramount question for Nigerians at the moment is to restructure our dysfunctional political system; the 1999 Constitution is both the progenitor of a dictatorship and thus a fraud. All Nigerian patriots accept these fundamental flaws in our system, as do I. Now let’s proceed. The status of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presently is pretty much like a vessel sailing on the Atlantic engulfed by the raging tempest of zoning. The Party’s very survival beyond 2023 depends singularly on…

Weaponized poverty, systematic injustice and the extinction of humanity in Nigeria by Micaiah Kalu

Weaponized poverty, systematic injustice and the extinction of humanity in Nigeria by Micaiah Kalu

Nigeria has a reputation for being the world poverty capital. Poverty in Nigeria is socially constructed, economically circumscribed and politically weaponized. In Nigeria, two diametrically opposed groups exist - the politicians and the people. While the politicians flaunt in ostentatious display of looted wealth, the poor masses wallow in poverty of multidimensional proportion. Deeply rooted in the Nigerian system are systemic corruption, entrenched injustice and structural violence. All these variables combined conduces to psychological brutalizations, economic deprivations, social exclusion and political marginalization. Over the years, genuine agitations for restructuring and institutional reforms have been responded with resistance and sometimes use…

Aisha Yesufu: The Hijab-wearing Revolutionary By Fredrick Nwabufo

Aisha Yesufu: The Hijab-wearing Revolutionary By Fredrick Nwabufo

Women like Aisha Yesufu are like comets; they come once in a generation bearing the torch of truth, courage and resilience. They are lodestars, shining light on the path to a new world where humankind can thrive without chains and shackles. They are definers of the age; excellent species of their kind. Aisha bestrides the civic landscape like a rodeo, bringing to submission revilement from traducers and hangers-on of the corrupt and oppressive political class – only with her clenched fist and dauntless voice. The Chibok girls’ abduction of April 14, 2014 coerced Aisha out of comfort. She was among…
