As Nigerians prepare for Nationwide Protests against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to express their frustrations over the harsh economic conditions and rising prices of essential commodities and petroleum products, OHANAEZE NDIGBO, the apex igbo socio-cultural organization, has taken a firm stance on the upcoming protests scheduled from August 1st-10th, 2024.

Metro, News, Opinion, PoliticsEmeka Kalu, Freedom, Miyetti Allah, Opinion, Politics

To put it bluntly, I am against the Federal Government of Nigeria's decision to drop the three-count terrorist allegation the Defence Intelligence Agency had filed against Alhaji Bello Bodejo through the office of the Attorney General of the Federation.

During the rough time of Former President Buhari's rule, the unfair treatment of Ndigbo reached a disgusting high point.

Economy, Lifestyle, Metro, News, Opinion, PoliticsBiafra, Economy, Freedom, South East

Former Spokesman of President Bola Tinubu in the South East, Dr. Josef Onoh has stated that the region has restrained itself from the isolated hardship protests across the country because Nigeria has refused to accord the South East its due status as an integral part of the country, but had rather imposed hardship on the region in the past 54 years. Onoh, who is presently the Chairman of Forum of Former Members of Enugu State House of Assembly (FOF-MENHA) and a former Governorship Aspirant in the State, stated that the rest of the regions in the country should not expect…
