A Protest Long Overdue. A Protest Made In Heaven. A Protest Orchestrated By Karma, Delivered To The Gen. Z. Africa Rising!

A Protest Long Overdue. A Protest Made In Heaven. A Protest Orchestrated By Karma, Delivered To The Gen. Z. Africa Rising!

I'm compelled to script these words to put the issues before us in proper perspective. To advise Leadership correctly. And to help create order in the emergent chaos fueled by Political Operators, Agents of State and Spokespersons of Government. I must inform them here and now that to desperately seek to stifle the political space, to strangle the freedom to hold contrary opinion and to Nicodemusly outlaw the right to protest and the freedom of assembly is the greatest threat to peaceful protestation and demonstration. That the planned protest is long overdue is truer than the reality of night and…

Revisiting 134% Increase In Minimum Wage (70k): Ajaero, Osifo, Organized Labour Living And Leaving To Fight Another Day.

Revisiting 134% Increase In Minimum Wage (70k): Ajaero, Osifo, Organized Labour Living And Leaving To Fight Another Day.

I am compelled to do this incisive effort which is apparently targeted at putting the records straight ditto the decision of Organized Labour to settle for a 134% increase in Minimum Wage thus taking the minimum wage from 30k to 70k rather than insisting on the 250k which was the position until the last meeting Organized Labour had with Mr. President and his Team. There is a preponderance of angry opinions out there seeking to lampoon and vilify the position of Organized Labour, some have said that Labour sold out, others have argued that 70k is not good enough, and…

The Looming Protest: Joe Igbokwe, Bayo Onanuga And The Age Of Unreason.

The Looming Protest: Joe Igbokwe, Bayo Onanuga And The Age Of Unreason.

The two individuals that no longer surprise me at all are Citizens Joe Igbokwe and Bayo Onanuga, however in the present instance I wonder what sycophancy and court-jesting have done to their ability to discern the times and by jove incline their hearts to wisdom, apologies to the Holy Book. Joe Igbokwe in the service of his master decided perhaps without deep research to do the greatest disservice to the present watch. In threatening the Igbo in Lagos and across the Country, Citizen Joe Igbokwe has forgotten that hunger and poverty are indiscriminate of Region, Religion and ethnicity. He has…

Imo, Kogi, Bayelsa Off Season Elections, Why Expect Fairness, Peace, When ‘Snatch It And Run With It’ Is In The Saddle?

Imo, Kogi, Bayelsa Off Season Elections, Why Expect Fairness, Peace, When ‘Snatch It And Run With It’ Is In The Saddle?

I'm beginning to believe that we suffer from gross selective amnesia as a nation. I have read befuddling wistfulness manifest in many commentaries about possible free, fair, and credible polls in Bayelsa, Kogi, and Imo. And I wonder who did it. Are you not aware that the morning tells largely what the day will be like? With the electoral larceny of February and March 2023 and the attendant judicial summersaults, tell me who believes in the sanctity and sanity of the electoral process anymore? Who will wait for a sullied, stained, tainted, and corrupt umpire—in this case, Mahmood Yakubu's INEC—to…

63 Years After QUACKS Remain In The Saddle – Prof Nwaokobia Jnr

63 Years After QUACKS Remain In The Saddle – Prof Nwaokobia Jnr

Where are t he heroes? Who were they? When did we grow heroes? How did we grow them? At what point in our historicity did we grow men and women who were ready to give their all for the good of all? Did we ever have such men and women in the saddle? Were those we call our 'heroes past' not all pretenders to the pristine values of leadership? Were they true Patriots? Were they Selfless? Were they Statesmen? Were they Pan-Nigerian? Were they Pan-Africans? Were they superior to the nuances of Creed and Clan? What were their heroics? Chris…
