Of Stupidity, Show Of Shame And Shenanigans 2.

It has been a full week of listening to Politricktians struggling to defend the indefensible. I have watched some struggle to present purely self-seeking and egocentric predilections and decisions as altruistic and popular. The usual lie told when politicians decamp from one Party to another was rife in the news-wave. It was repeated every so often they were confronted with 'why did you decamp to a Party you had mocked and described as soulless and directionless?". And the lies would come streaming with shameless Olympic stupidity and shenanigans unbridled. If your reason for moving from the PDP to the APC…

Udensi Ogba Orji Most times, the enemy is that touchbearer that shines the light on the dark places where evil manipulators hide. The one that whispers the truth and the one that wages the destructive tendencies of sycophantic cheerleaders and palace jesters. To address the push by deadwood politicians who are luring and forcing Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu to throw his weight into the ring to run for governor in 2027 is to write a prose about a political leader with a bright future who is being lured to destroy his future by sycophantic, deadwood politicians that want to use…
