Bello El-Rufai Should Stop Comparing Peter Obi with his father, we’re not blind.

Abia State, Amos Oge Kalu, Column, News, Opinion, PoliticsOpinion, Peter Obi, Politics, Udoeze Kalu

It is a shock to me that the loquacious and cantankerous son of former Kaduna state governor, Alhaji Nasir El-Rufai, Bello El-Rufai, is yet to understand the difference between reality and propaganda. But what is more shocking to me is why he has chosen to use Dr Peter Obi's name to launder his father's image at a time when Nigerians have seen everything he had to offer. However, I do not put the rest of the blame on him for his endless tantrums, yet it shocks me that respected journalists like Mr Seun Okinbaloye should avail him of their supposedly…

Okezie Ikpeazu’s Marriage With The Hellenist Witches – Opinion.

Abia State, News, Ohafia, Opinion, PoliticsOdo Ijere, Okezie Ikpeazu, Opinion

By Odo Ijere The immediate past failed governor of Abia State, Okezie Victor Ikpeazu is in my view presently ensconced with dangerous witches that trace their origins from the hellenist era of the 'thane of fife', of Macduff fame in William Shakespeare's epic drama, Macbeth.

The witches you may agree with me are in a mission to make a hero of the despised, dishonorable and uncelebrated former governor. The prophetic dystopia of the witches which probably must…
