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

Metro, News, Opinion, Politics, Sponsored2027, Chris Nwaokobia, Metro, Nwaokobia Jnr, Opinion

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…

My Late Younger Sister; The 14 Year Old Son of The Judge in Kaduna; And The Many Victims of the Pervasive Kidnap For Ransom Business Shall Stand in Judgment Against Nigeria And The Political Class. - Prof Chris Mustapha Nwaokobia Jnr. I woke up with tears in my eyes and characteristic with the dictate of my soul, I proceeded to process the impious State of national security, the Politics of it, and the lame albeit draconic platitudes of the operators of State.

Ajaero And Osifo Trojans Of Now. Thanks To NLC and TUC For Raising The Progressive Bar.

Column, Economy, Metro, News, Opinion, Politics2024, Economy, NLC, Nwaokobia Jnr, Opinion, Politics

Let no one call them names, they have raised the Progressive Bar remarkably high, perhaps the highest since the 2012 Ojota Fuel Hike protestation. Yours sincerely was heavily involved in that siege against Jonathan's Administration (in fact I addressed the rally in Ojota several times through the near two weeks of that popular action), a siege that was supported in cash and kind by the present watchman President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Against formidable attrition and debauchery, against the threat of jail and imprisonment, against a government that is squandamania oriented, and against a government sold to propaganda and gaslighting, they…

One Year Of Doing Things Differently: The Peter Mbah Story

Column, News, Opinion, Politics, SponsoredEnugu State, Next Level, Nwaokobia Jnr, Opinion, Peter Mba, Politics

He arguably comes across as the Governor with the best scorecard in 365 days. Ndi Enugu can attest to this truism. The Enugu space today tells lucid testimonies of the place of commitment, dedication, capacity and competency in transformational leadership. And such is the remarkable Story of Peter Mbah. I had a near 30 minutes private dialogue with His EXCELLENCY Peter Ndubuisi Mbah three days after he was sworn in as the Executive Governor of Enugu State in 2023. Interestingly I have elected to pen this Tribute in Profound Leadership in his honour exactly one year after that incisive dialogue.…

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

Column, Opinion, Politics2023, Bayelsa, Chris Nwaokobia, Imo State, Kogi State, Next Level, Nigeria, Nwaokobia Jnr, Opinion, Politics, Security

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…
