The South Eastern region is bleeding and bleeding profusely. Peace and security are eluding the land and as William Butler Yeats wrote in his 1919 classic poem, The Second Coming, “The falcon cannot hear the falconer…mere anarchy is loosed upon the land”.

On October 3, 2020, I watched a video of a policeman attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) shooting a young man in front of Wetland Hotel, Ughelli, Delta State. Initial reports after the young man was shot said the shooter and other policemen in his company drove off in a car belonging to the victim, leaving him in a pool of his own blood.

The founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, is having a torrid time. One by one, his worst fears are coming true.
According to Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang, authors of An Ugly Truth, a scathing tell-all on Zuckerberg and his second-in-command, Sheryl Sandberg, the Facebook founder has been troubled for years by three deadly fears: the prospect of hackers breaching the site, his employees being harmed, and the breakup of his empire.

For over forty years, the Idomas who inhabit the geo-political area popularly referred to as Zone C in Benue State, have produced elements who have served as party messengers or what some decently refer to as party chairmen in the processes that had led to the enthronement of five civilian governors from the other two zones (A and B) of the state.

This is the time of year when we moan about everything wrong with Nigeria. Quite often, we do so not necessarily from a place of spite but out of frustration and hopelessness.
