The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, recently addressed newsmen at the State House after meeting behind closed doors with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
In the address, he mentioned that terrorism and banditry will end only when Nigerians decide.
Standing out like a sore thumb in that address is a country whose peoples are overly sensitive to their ethnic, cultural and religious diversities, is the lop-sidedness in the composition of the top security chiefs, zonally. Buratai comes from Borno State and yet insecurity, particularly in the north has been on the upswing in the …
A creative designer and founder of Uhuru Designz, a United States of America-based clothing company, Izuchukwu Madubueze (simply known as Izu), has taken his own life over an allegation of sexual assault.
Izu, who resided in Tampa, Florida, reportedly moved to the US some years ago.
He graduated from King’s College, Lagos, in 2013, before getting a scholarship to study at the University of Florida.
One good night, a few friends came over to his place and suggested a night out. He agreed and they got dressed and left to the party. A few hours later they were back home …
The average Nigerian attempting to make precarious ends meet as taxi drivers, civil servants, market traders, shopkeepers and even students are accosted on a daily basis by armed police officers who demand bribes and commit human rights abuses against them as a means of extorting money. Those who fail to pay are frequently threatened with arrest and physical harm.
Far too often these threats are carried out. Meanwhile, victims of crime are obliged to pay the police from the moment they enter a police station to file a complaint until the day their case is brought before a court. In …
Whether now or in the distant past, politics has always been about striving for control of power, and no one wants to be in perpetual servitude. For some time now, particularly, in the current political dispensation, it has been said that a cabal, a group of powerful elements, who are not core career politicians, have been in charge of power in Nigeria. These cabals known as the ‘Fulani Cabal’ have been subjugating Nigeria in many ways since time immemorial.
Out of the 16 Federal Republics in the world, Nigeria is the only federation where land mass is used as a …
Nigeria as led by the maladministration of the glorified party of treasury looters, All Progressives Congress, APC has been in the most deplorable, and poverty-stricken position irrespective of the abundance of wealth that, nature had bestowed upon the country.
In 2015, when the APC came into power with President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, Nigerians thought that their messiahs had come to liberate them from the shackles of struggles with whatever challenges they were bedeviled with particularly in the area of finance through the administration of good governance but unfortunately, they were oblivious of the fact that their …
I had in the past written in defence of this rare Igbo man called Arthur. This agent of God had won my admiration compelling me to name my first son 22 years ago, Arthur. I have never and I am yet to see an Igbo man who selflessly dispensed and still dispenses kindness and mercy like Arthur Eze.
A man who dispenses kindness on impulse without expectation of any interest and or self idolation. He does not help because he wants to use your inabillity, disability or want to cury favour or political gains. A highly and very detraiblised Nigerian. …
Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo state has since published names of the eight scapegoats used as a reference point for the pension and salary siphoning racket whose modus operandi includes the diversion of state funds in the state’s civil service.
Anyanwu Theophilus was an Imo State civil servant, serving dutifully under the Governor Achike Udenwa regime of 1999. He would serve for seven more years before retiring at 60 years as is the mandated age for retirement and then in the course of time, passing away.
But some individuals in the Imo State Public Service who felt that the man …
Every passing day, Governor Hope Uzodinma keeps coming publicly, to tell blatant falsehood before the good people of Imo state particularly, and the entirety of Ndi Igbo both home and abroad.
With the sort of falsehood that often emanates from Governor Uzodinma and his treacherous but unprofessional media team, one apparently does not need further proof that Governor Uzodinma is nothing short of an imposition of the All Progressives Congress (APC) party controlled Supreme Court of Nigeria without the true mandate of the electorate.
Following the above reaffirmation, it is now obvious to all and sundry in Imo state …
In recent times, it has come to light that the Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma has been feeding the state indigenes and media with lies about the completion of some utilitarian projects in the state.
Let There Be Light And Water, Were There Light And Water?
Firstly, Governor Hope Uzodinma announced in January that he had completed the uphill task of creating a portable public water supply system for Owerri Indigenes.
He quoted: “Imo State government is pleased to announce that the Imo State Water and Sewage Corporation has restored public water supply to some parts of …
Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State is turning out to be one of the worst governors Imo state has ever encountered, making Senator Rochas Okorocha’s tenure look like heydays in paradise.
His controversial rise to power reins in Imo state, his devastatingly low turn out of supporters during the 2019 elections and his use of the Nigerian Supreme court powers to intimidate and force the real election winner, Emeka Ihedioha out of the gubernatorial seat has all added to the taint in his image.
The recent protests carried out in Imo state by aged pensioners demanding their pensions and arrears from the maladministration of Governor Hope Uzodinma have somehow compelled him to come out with claims of alleged fraud in Imo state civil service salary and pension structures to the tune of three hundred and thirty million naira (₦330, 000, 000) lost annually to eight people.
In all sincerity, before going further to explain why Governor Uzodinma’s reason for not paying salaries and pensions, is not just a flimsy one but blatant falsehood, it is important for the readers to understand the fact that …
