Discussing someone's antecedents involves their past, instincts, and constituents—positive or negative. The noble deeds that have earned Chief Emeka Kalu recognition, reputation, and good news motivate us. Before acquiring his positive reputation, he helped others' lives by adding values, whose results are apparent in an open template. The smart politician and businessman from Bende Local Government Area of Abia State has spent his life helping others live meaningful, joyful lives to develop humanity.Considering his caution and tireless efforts to keep his party, PDP, from failing, he has become great and important politically.

Imo, Kogi, Bayelsa Off Season Elections, Why Expect Fairness, Peace, When ‘Snatch It And Run With It’ Is In The Saddle?

Column, Opinion, Politics2023, Bayelsa, Chris Nwaokobia, Imo State, Kogi State, Next Level, Nigeria, Nwaokobia Jnr, Opinion, Politics, Security

I'm beginning to believe that we suffer from gross selective amnesia as a nation. I have read befuddling wistfulness manifest in many commentaries about possible free, fair, and credible polls in Bayelsa, Kogi, and Imo. And I wonder who did it. Are you not aware that the morning tells largely what the day will be like? With the electoral larceny of February and March 2023 and the attendant judicial summersaults, tell me who believes in the sanctity and sanity of the electoral process anymore? Who will wait for a sullied, stained, tainted, and corrupt umpire—in this case, Mahmood Yakubu's INEC—to…

Nigeria, revenue, poverty and taxation atrophy – Opinion

Column, Economy, Metro, Opinion, PoliticsAbiodun KOMOLAFE, Economy, Next Level, Nigeria, Politics

By Abiodun KOMOLAFE When our forefathers came up with the wise saying that ‘the earnest wish of potters is for the earth to be clay’, it was not only worthy of commendation but also no mean achievement. The beauty of the adage is that, in some 1000 years to come, it will still be relevant. So, instead of concentrating on having more wealth, the wisdom in it is learning how to be frugal and maximally productive with the little that’s available. Simple Economics: economic activities breed taxation, while taxation without representation is problematic. Generally, the mission of governments is revenue…

Opinion: Oyebanji, Ekiti and purposeful leadership

Column, Opinion, PoliticsEkiti State, Nigeria, Opinion, Politics

By Abiodun KOMOLAFE Although the initial steps have to be taken by the individual, the picture of personality as having “power to uplift, power to depress, power to curse, and power to bless” is working for Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji of Ekiti State. It is a poser that’s given back to the owner. It makes a man become enthusiastic because, each time he sees the good he has done, he becomes motivated to do more. Essentially therefore, it is an individual’s character that defines his or her legacy. Tellingly, Oyebanji, aka BAO, has within a year in office redefined governance.…
