He was born some 53 years ago precisely the 17th day of March, 1972. Like most great leaders in this clime he shares a common Zodiac space with Chief Obafemi Awolowo, with former President Olusegun Obasanjo, with Prof Yemi Osinbajo, with yours sincerely, and with several other leaders and molders of thought whose Zodiac call is Pieces. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah is a Lawyer with great interest in the Maritime sector, he is a Financial Analyst, and was the Chief Executive Officer of Pinnacle Oil and Gas Limited which is one of the most successful players in the Oil and Gas…

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

Hunger/Food Stampedes And the effort of State Operators to blame the Victims. I listened first to Mr Tope Fasua a Presidential Adviser on the Economy attempting a near impossible task of blaming the victims of the Food Stampede in Ibadan, Abuja and Okija. He struggled to shift the blame from pervasive hunger and poverty to the dead; he struggled to shift the blame from a dysfunctional economic policy to the Organizers; he struggled to shift the blame from economic reforms that have multiplied poverty to those in desperate need of supplies to get by; he struggled to shift the blame…

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

I have been inundated with calls and messages about my seeming silence on the serious issues that bother our nation. Some of my Readers and Followers guessed that I may have been indisposed on account of health, as true as that is, even more worrisome is the dearth of conscience and the death of sound values on our national fabric. Mayday! Our collective canvas stinks, it stinks to high heavens that Herod and Herodias will pass for Saints. It stinks so badly that Pontius Pilate would pass his verdict on the Christ without the luxury of washing his hands clean,…

The last bit of this series that majored on SO MUCH ADO ABOUT REFORMS went pretty viral with some blogs getting thousands of shares, it spoke to the issues about the REFORMS to nowhere, about the perfidy that underscores the so-called reforms of the present government, and the lies that attend the 'our reforms are yielding results' inveigle. That effort compelled a response from the International Monetary Fund IMF, the same institution leading the government and our nation to Golgotha, the IMF boldly stated that the so-called reforms are ineffective, inefficient and ineffectual. They have disowned and denounced our voodoo…

The last of this series was released on the October 1st, 2024 under the subhead 'What Nigeria Is Not At 64.', however, the very worrying kamikaze and rudderless drift of the ship of State down the abyss has compelled a return to this series. Folks… It is Mayday! The Holy Book lucidly admonishes the power of knowledge, learning and information. It says, 'my people shall know the Truth and the truth shall set them free'. It also says that 'my people perish for lack of knowledge'. We must rupture the pervasive ignorance that holds us down as a nation. We…
