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

Column, Metro, News, Opinion, PoliticsChris Nwaokobia, Nigeria, Nwaokobia Jnr, Opinion

What Nigeria Is Not At 64. It is said that Nigeria is 64 today, and that's what we have on Paper. But are we truly 64? Are we even the reverse, 46? I don't think so, Nigeria wobbles, falters and stutters like a 6, and a 4 year old Child. Certainly not like 64. Nigeria is NOT a Nation BUT a Rogue State superintended over by Rogues. Rogue Partisans and Rogue Political Operators. Rogue Ethnic Paladins. Rogue Clergy (Rogue Imams, Rogue Pastors and Rogue Traditional Worshippers). Rogue Activists and Cashtivists. Rogue Generals and Rogue Military Operators. Rogue Police. Rogue Electoral…

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

Mayday Call is meant to alert and warn against an impending danger, it is a distress call often put out by the Pilot of an Aircraft or the Captain of a Ship. It is a call for help, for salvage, for support, for solution, and for rescue if you like. It defines the urgency of the moment and has no place for jokers and sycophants. Nigeria is in trouble, our Country is in trouble, troubled on all sides. Troubled chiefly by leadership, or should I say the absence of it. Troubled by followership, a followership sickly and sickeningly divided down…

Joe Ajaero’s Arrest And The Treasonable Felony Trial Of Protesters Signposts The Unfolding Dictatorship I.

News, PoliticsBola Ahmed Tinubu, Chris Nwaokobia, Nwaokobia Jnr, Politics

How quickly does hypocrisy and Pharaseesm come full cycle? How does self-acclaimed Progressives and Democrats become so quickly the greatest threat to our democracy and to fundamental Human Rights and Freedoms? Why are they so uncomfortable with dissent and protest? What is Treasonable about the exercise of the freedom of Protest? Why is Tinubu and his minders committed to stifling Constitutional Freedoms? Why are they chasing everyone that disagrees with them? Why? Under the 16 years of those they called corrupt conservatives, protesters were not harassed, harangued and hounded to trial for Treason. I can boldly say that Presidents Obasanjo,…

Deconstructing The Pervasive Peace Of The Graveyard – Nwaokobia Jnr

Column, News, Opinion, PoliticsChris Nwaokobia, Nwaokobia Jnr, Opinion, Politics

(Culled from My Morning Show Arise TV Interview of Sunday 25th August, 2024). Today unlike most days I am dressed from head to toe in white… White emblematizes and epitomizes peace, but here I am opposed to the peace of the graveyard contrived and procured by supporters of the present watch who are desperately dividing our Country on ethnic, regional and religious lines. Some have taken our national debate to an abysmal low. They argue that since the North was largely quiet throughout the 8 years of locust superintended over by Mohammadu Buhari, the South should and must oblige Tinubu…

“..And Finally Mr. President Spoke Without Listening”

Column, News, Opinion, PoliticsChris Nwaokobia, Nwaokobia Jnr, Opinion, Politics

Shame on the handlers of this Presidency. Shame on Mr. President. Shame on the All Progressive Congress APC. Shame on all those who have direct access to Mr. President but cannot tell him the Truth. And shame to all those who undermine the extent to which an aggrieved people can go. Unfortunately, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu appears to have been ensconced and removed from all those who can tell him the Truth. Mr. President has continued on the same trajectory as his Aides who believe that threat and orders can attend and assuage the anger in the land. Mr. President…
