Amos Oge Kalu, Politics2023, Atiku Abubakar, Economy, Emeka Kalu, Nigeria, Politics

For a long time now, even far before 2019 General Elections where I strongly supported the candidacy of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to become the President of Nigeria, I really made a case to back my convictions and I am still here insisting that the believe that resurrected that faith has not died, it never wavers either. Significantly, I also always make bold to tell detractors that our efforts then was not borne out of quest for pecuniary ends as many are want to believe, but based on genuine believe in the reality that Nigeria can be fixed. Nigeria can get…

State of the nation, the economy in near-comatose; Kalu offers ideas

Abia State, Amos Oge Kalu, Economy, Health, PoliticsEconomy, Emeka Kalu, Mohammadu Buhari, Next Level, Nigeria, Politics

The state of the nation has continued to generate discussions across board as a result of the near-no-governance and lopsided, directionless, nepotistic, and no security style of administration offered by the Buhari-led government. The truth remains that no matter how much we decide to shy away from speaking the truth about the conditions of our nation, it can never go away. 'It is a chameleon feces on which we have stepped upon, if you clean it cannot go', in the words of a great Ghanaian poet. On that note, I will commend Alhaji Umar who had sent and open later…

My case for Atiku: separating facts and sentiments – Kalu

Amos Oge Kalu, Economy, Politics2023, Atiku Abubakar, Economy, Emeka Kalu, Opinion, Personality, Politics, Reviews

There's a popular saying that tough times requires tough measures, and I am adding that the tough measures can only come from men who understand "times". Haven said this, let me once again clarify that when I stood strong to support Alhaji Atiku in 2019, it was based on my believe that Nigeria needed a man that is strong enough to understand the dynamic complexities of the multifaceted entity called Nigeria. It was not borne out of pecuniary instinct, neither was I expecting to be rewarded for standing for what I believe to be right for all Nigerians.I can also…
