OUK Remains The Doyen Of Abia Politics: Barr Juachi Ekwem

Opinion

In 1998 when "Aha Eji Aga Mba", Chief Orji Uzor Kalu expressed his desire to be the second elected Governor of God's Own State, to many, it was like a mirage. Many who were ignorant of the background and sagacity of this business mogul and Master Strategist, began to taunt him using age and academic disposition then as yardsticks without knowing that the taste of the pudding is in the eating. Senator Orji Uzor Kalu who had carved a niche for himself before becoming the Executive Governor of Abia State in 1999, using his personal resources, deploying his wealth of…

Featured

By Dr. Engr. Odo Ijere Stakeholders of 8 clans, 60 communities of Arochukwu and Ohafia and other interested parties in the government of Dr Alex Otti gathered today, the 28th of August to attend the historic flag off of 41 kilometers road corridor linking Ohafia and Arochukwu local communities and peoples that has been a nightmare for at least 4 decades. The Ohafia to Arochukwu crossing had constituted a big embarrassment and shame to successive governments both at the state and federal level. The road at some point literally cut some communities along its artery off from completely being accessed…

What Gen Zs Were Not Told About Abia Under Orji Uzor Kalu From 1999—2007

Featured

What Gen Zs Were Not Told About Abia Under Orji Uzor Kalu From 1999—2007 By S. O. Idika Generation Z (often shortened to Gen Z), is a term used to describe people born during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Some sources give the specific year range of 1997–2012, although the years spanned are sometimes contested or debated because generations and their zeitgeists are difficult to delineate. Lately, members of Generation Z, or Gen Zers, have been undeniably shaped by some events in Nigeria like the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 EndSars protest, and the events of the 2023 general elections.…

Opinion

A Defense of Rt Hon. Benjamin Kalu: A Pragmatic Assessment ~ Ike Okorafor In the realm of Nigerian politics, where allegiances shift like the tides, and promises are often written in sand, Rt Hon. Benjamin Kalu’s recent declaration that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will produce the next Governor in Abia State has sparked both fervent support and heated opposition. As an objective observer, I find it necessary to present a pragmatic assessment in defense of Hon. Kalu, based on facts and context. Political Realities and Aspirations: Hon.

Benjamin Kalu’s Often Misspeak Is Born Out Of Badly Tempered Arrogance — Engr Odo Ijere

Opinion

I want to believe that the huge perks of office surrounding Benjamin Kalu is still allowing him to think well. He's many a times exhibiting traits that are symptomatic of person who's mental frame got disorganized by hyper activity induced stress disorder. He is advised to seek urgent medical help. How else can one explain his misdemeanor or what other prognosis can we proffer the anxious public who are very shocked by his trending video clips where he is seen boasting unscrupulously and reading the riot act to the Abia people and their governor, Dr. Alex Otti not to dare…

Featured

Sponsors Of False Stories Against Senator Dr Orji Uzor Kalu Concerning His Laudable Projects In Our Communities Should Desist From Such Evil Act It's disheartening to see false allegations, lying tongues and bittered hearts condeming Senator Dr Orji Uzor Kalu's good work in Abia North, especially Umunneochi LGA. Those peddling with such lies should look for something else to keep themselves busy. The said road at UMUAKU which the faceless detractors and fabricators told lies about is located at UMUDIKE-UMUDI-AMAEkE ROAD, along Amakpoke route which was constructed by the project master and road builder, Senator Dr Orji Uzor Kalu,…

Opinion

Dr. Abubakar Audi's Visionary Leadership: NSCDC Excels in Protecting National Assets Amidst End Bad Governance Protests By Gambo Jagindi The recent End Bad Governance protests in Nigeria have left a trail of economic devastation, with estimated losses of N500 billion. However, amidst the chaos, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), under the leadership of Dr. Abubakar Audi, emerged as a shining example of strategic planning and professionalism.

Zanga-Zanga and Tinubu’s Crumbling Northern Alliance, By Farooq A. Kperogi

Opinion

Zanga-Zanga and Tinubu’s Crumbling Northern Alliance By Farooq A. Kperogi The 10-day nationwide #EndBadGovernance protests that end today, known by the reduplicative compound “Zanga-Zanga” in Hausaphone northern Nigeria, have ruptured the coalition that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu managed to build with a portion of the northern Nigerian Muslim political establishment since 2014, which put Muhammadu Buhari in power in 2015 and 2019 and him in 2023. But this Zanga-Zanga-inspired rupture also reveals the initial precarity and fragility of the strange-bedfellows coalition. Buhari and Tinubu were previously fierce political adversaries who distrusted each other’s motives and undermined each other. Their alliance…
