Peter Obi Denounces Canadian-Based Nigerian Woman’s Threat to Poison Yorubas and Edo Natives

Lifestyle, Metro, News, Opinion, ,
The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Dr. Peter Obi has joined the chorus of condemnation against Amaka Patience Sonnberger, a Canada-based Nigerian woman who threatened to poison Yorubas and Edo natives in Canada. Obi described her comments as "divisive" and emphasized that such behavior has no place in Nigerian society. In a statement, Obi urged Nigerians to unite and focus on addressing shared challenges rather than allowing tribalism and hate to divide them.

Deconstructing The Pervasive Peace Of The Graveyard – Nwaokobia Jnr

Deconstructing The Pervasive Peace Of The Graveyard – Nwaokobia Jnr

Column, News, Opinion, Politics, , ,
(Culled from My Morning Show Arise TV Interview of Sunday 25th August, 2024). Today unlike most days I am dressed from head to toe in white… White emblematizes and epitomizes peace, but here I am opposed to the peace of the graveyard contrived and procured by supporters of the present watch who are desperately dividing our Country on ethnic, regional and religious lines. Some have taken our national debate to an abysmal low. They argue that since the North was largely quiet throughout the 8 years of locust superintended over by Mohammadu Buhari, the South should and must oblige Tinubu…

FG’s Bar Of Under 18s from WAEC, NECO Exams: “Assault on Children’s Rights” – National Youth Alliance

Education, News, , , ,
The National Youth Alliance (NYA) is appalled, dismayed, and outraged by the Federal Government's draconian decision to prohibit individuals under the age of 18 from sitting for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and the National Examination Council (NECO) Senior Secondary Examination. This egregious policy is a blatant declaration of war against the future generations of Nigeria, callously stifling their potential, and perpetuating a cycle of educational stagnation. This ill-conceived decision is a display of the government's chronic failure to prioritize education, its sheer incompetence in addressing the systemic rot in our educational institutions, and its utter disregard…

Nnamdi Kanu: Southeast Governors’ Failure To Visit Tinubu Is A Faux Pas Of Simon Ekpa’s Rascallity –  OHANAEZE NDIGBO

Abia State, Metro, News, Opinion, Politics, , , ,
The Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex socio-cultural organization representing the Igbo people, issues this press release to address the concerning reality regarding the escalating insecurity in the Southeast and the responsibilities of our governors in this critical juncture. There exists a palpable frustration among Nigerians, and particularly the Igbo populace, concerning the recent actions—or notable lack thereof—of the Southeast Governors in asserting their authority as the chief security officers of their respective states. Their insufficient responses to pressing security challenges have allowed inconsequential figures, such as Simon Ekpa, to exploit their weakened stance, issuing baseless threats to disrupt economic activities and…
