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

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

Column, News, Opinion, Politics, , , , ,
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.

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

Column, News, Opinion, Politics, , , , ,
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.

It is a grave injustice for a political…

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

Column, Economy, Metro, News, Opinion, Politics, , , , ,
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…

Column, Economy, News, Opinion, Politics
Nigeria’s tax reform is underway with four Executive Bills currently before the National Assembly. These bills are the ‘Nigeria Tax Bill’, which replaces existing tax law with a modern framework; the ‘Nigeria Tax Administration Act Amendment Bill’, which seeks to strengthen the enforcement powers of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS); the ‘Nigeria Revenue Service Bill’, establishing an independent revenue service; and the ‘Joint Revenue Board Establishment Bill’, for the purpose of fostering inter-agency collaboration. According to Zacch Adedeji, the FIRS Executive Chairman, the reform focuses on reducing the number of taxes paid by Nigerians. This significant transformation under President…
