EMEFIELE AS SCAPEGOAT: The Tinubu administration which can be better described as a house of sleaze seems to have created a buffer and a punching bag for its graft-sodden state.

Nigeria’s politicians have perfected the art of burying themselves with one foot sticking out. And it appears that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will, once again, stage this rite of self-destruction in the forthcoming governorship election in Edo State.

In the grand finale of the 1984 African Nations Cup, Nigeria scored first in the first half and ended up as losers. That was exactly what happened on February 11, 2024. William Troost Ekong's header was not enough to give the Super Eagles glory.

THE latest allegation our government has against the people it begged for votes about this time last year is that we are impatient. We are in a hurry to enjoy renewed hope, forgetting it is a provision for the pre-qualified. We, the masses, are not.

In today's fast-paced world, the significance of maintaining security and harmony within our communities cannot be overstated. The proposal put forth by the Executive Governor of Enugu State, His Excellency Barr. Peter Mbah, to establish ranching and abattoirs in select Local Government Areas, deserves careful consideration. From the government perspective, this initiative aims to mitigate the alleged terroristic activities of Fulani nomads and cattle herders, in the state, thereby fostering a safe environment for all citizens.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is hungry like most of us who complain about hardship in the land. He is hungry for more power. He is hungry for acceptance among Nigeria. His hunger for recognition as a performing President gives him sleepless nights.

When Debola and Akin got married, Akin was not in a good place financially. He was living from hand to mouth, struggling to pay his rent and generally depending on salary advance to get through the month. He was getting on in years and his parents were permanently on his case to get married. He was reluctant to commit to any serious relationship. How was he expected to feed two mouths when he couldn’t feed himself? How can you tell a new bride not to get pregnant because his tiny room-and-parlour could and would not expand because the occupant was now married? Akin dug in his feet, avoided his parents as long as he could because of the marriage thing.

The people are stirring and the leaders are panicky! As hunger keeps the people awake, the fear of what a hungry person can do keeps the well-fed awake! This is typical of a chick that perches on a rope: No peace for the rope and no peace for the chick.

I remember it vividly, the specific time and date; it was in the early hours of the morning on 6th June, 2021, a Sunday, precisely at 1:50am. The previous night, on 5th June, 2021, at 11pm, we exchanged our last greetings before I retired for the day. Little did I know that it would be the last time I would see you on this earth. We had no inkling of the impending danger that would ultimately take your life. It was when the forces of darkness struck and ended your life. In the process, three unarmed and innocent civilians were abducted and remain missing to this day: Lawrence Ugochukwu, Felix Okafor, and Ikenna Chibuike.

Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Chioma. Otti, turns 59 Sunday, February 18, 2024. This might come to many as a surprise considering that the name, Alex Otti, has been ringing a bell for a long time, more persistently and loudly in the last 10 years, the period within which he threw his hat into the ring of politics to contest for the governorship of Abia State.
