You Can’t Beat BAT, Divided And Disunited… I.

You Can’t Beat BAT, Divided And Disunited… I.

Column, Opinion, Politics, , , , , ,
I was going to begin a new series called ATIKU: NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT COUNTRYFIRST before the new wave of defections over the weekend from the African Democratic Congress ADC to the National Democratic Congress NDC compelled this detour. My concern is not so much about partisanship, nor about anybody's place in the politricks of 2027, it is more about the lot of the Nigerian people.

Abaribe: Clinching Realignment to Cover Failure

Abaribe: Clinching Realignment to Cover Failure

Abia State, Column, News, Opinion, Politics, , , ,
"Across Abia South, the frustration is growing louder. After nearly twenty years, expectations remain unmet, promises unfulfilled, and impact largely invisible." In every election cycle, a familiar pattern emerges - politicians who have outlived their relevance suddenly rediscover strategy, not service. When performance fails, survival instincts take over. They latch onto movements, ride waves they did not create, and attempt to rewrite their political story in real time. Few illustrate this pattern more clearly than Enyinnaya Abaribe. After over two decades in the Senate, the question across Abia South remains unsettling: what exactly has changed after over twenty years? What…

When Memory Bleeds in South Africa: A Lament for Africa’s Broken Brotherhood – By Comr. Amos Oge Kalu

Column, Lifestyle, News, Social Issues, , , , ,
There is a tremor in the hand that strikes a fellow African. It is not strength.It is not courage.It is memory — buried, but not dead. To every South African who lifts a hand against a Ghanaian, a Nigerian, a Somali, a Zimbabwean — there is something deeper than anger at play. There is a quiet knowing. A truth that lingers beneath the noise of insults and the crackle of burning shops. Because history does not forget, even when men try to. There was a time when South Africa was not free.A time when its voice was chained, its people…
