Mayday! Mayday! Our Country Is In So Much Trouble That Thinkers And Fixers Are Needed Urgently IV.

Column, News, Opinion, PoliticsChris Nwaokobia, Next Level, Nigeria, Nwaokobia Jnr, Opinion, Politics

The last of this series was released on the October 1st, 2024 under the subhead 'What Nigeria Is Not At 64.', however, the very worrying kamikaze and rudderless drift of the ship of State down the abyss has compelled a return to this series. Folks… It is Mayday! The Holy Book lucidly admonishes the power of knowledge, learning and information. It says, 'my people shall know the Truth and the truth shall set them free'. It also says that 'my people perish for lack of knowledge'. We must rupture the pervasive ignorance that holds us down as a nation. We…

On Obi’s Assertion Of Converting Vigils To Night Shifts – Prof. Stewart

Column, News, Opinion, PoliticsNigeria, Opinion, Peter Obi, Politics, Religion, Stewart Mba

As a Christian politician, Obi's suggestion to convert vigils to night shifts is thoughtless and disturbing. This statement is particularly surprising, as it's unlikely to come from a Muslim politician. Born and raised in a Christian environment, Obi should understand the importance of prayer in one's faith journey. The question remains whether Obi has intercessors praying for him tirelessly or if he simply doesn't believe in the power of persistent prayer. His statement undermines the significance of prayer, which is concerning. Instead, Obi should learn from Trump's approach to incorporating faith into his political aspirations. Muslim politicians have successfully done…

Free Rivers State From Political Logjam, The Judiciary Must Not Be Compromised.

Column, News, Opinion, PoliticsEmeka Kalu, Nigeria, Nyesom Wike, Opinion, Politics, Siminalayi Fubara

The ongoing politically motivated crisis in Rivers State must be handled with caution to prevent further lawlessness and instability. The judiciary, as an institution, is expected to maintain its integrity and protect its independence by working to avoid being politically compromised to harm democratic processes and the ethics of law. The recent judgment by the Abuja Federal High Court division directing the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) to stop releasing statutory monthly allocation to the State government was done out of bias and politically motivated plans to disrupt Fubara's administration. It is a grave injustice for a political…

Stop Calumny Against Minister Umahi, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Warns Reps, Others

Column, Economy, Metro, News, Opinion, PoliticsDave Umahi, Economy, Metro, Nigeria, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Opinion

In a moment that calls for both clarity and civility, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the foremost sociocultural organization representing the Igbo people, finds itself compelled to respond assertively to the recent allegations levied against Senator David Umahi, the Minister of Works, by Hon. Oseni of the House of Representatives. It is imperative to state unequivocally that these allegations, which purport that Senator Umahi has failed to address the deteriorating state of roads across the nation and is merely engaged in the awarding of contracts, are nothing short of calumnious and deeply irresponsible. Honorable Oseni's remarks, lacking in both substantive evidence and intellectual…
