Of Fallacies, Forgery And Fakery III – As The Descent To Shamelessness Continues, I Worry For Nigeria.

Tinubu: Imperial Rulers Like You Who Do Not Listen, Populate The Ignoble Dumpsites Of History. I was unequivocal when I noted in the New Year Day brief of this series that the year 2026 will be a year of long knives, of betrayal, of subterfuge and of perfidy. If I were one of the Merchants of Faith my followers would have gone to town screaming that my prophecies and proselytizing have come through and true so quickly… But not so, because the truth is before us, and the APC is incapable of pulling out pleasant surprises. The President of the…

2027: Governor Otti Bombs Orji Kalu, Benjamin Kalu and Other Displaced Abia Politicians with Moral Truth

Abia State, Opinion, PoliticsAbia State, Alex Otti, Opinion, Politics

Governor Alex Chioma Otti’s remarks on Saturday, 10 January, at the Seventh Day Adventist Church, Umuoriehi, in Umuahia North Local Government Area, provide a compelling moral and political lens through which to interrogate the…

By Ambassador Dr. Osita Offor Politics, like time, does not wait. It moves on—sometimes gently, sometimes brutally. Senator Orji Uzor Kalu’s difficulty today is not that his political time has passed, but that he refuses to accept that history has closed that chapter. His recent fixation on Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Chioma Otti, OFR, is therefore less a debate of ideas and more a public display of political anxiety. Governor Otti did not invite himself into Senator Kalu’s political narrative. He was dragged in—because relevance, once lost, is often pursued through noise rather than performance. That is precisely what…
