Onyeka Urges Young People Monetize Your Abilities

September 26, 2019 10:45 am

A Nigerian blogger and historian; Chiemelie Onyeka has charged Nigerians never to do what they do very well for free. The social media influencer tried to drive his message home using some of the experiences he gathered from working with people.

He said: “I once had an ‘ex’ who was very dutiful and eccentric about her job with the media but she was always shortchanged as she came in as an intern at the time. She grew in rank and learnt fast yet it didn’t affect her remuneration. She was underpaid, undervalued and underrated to say the least”.

Nigeria as an Army arrangement

Nigeria as an Army arrangement

September 14, 2019 12:00 am

By Odumodu Gbulagu

Nigeria as it stands today is simply an army arrangement.
Because of the ban on teaching of history in schools, the current generation barely know next to nothing as what has transpired in the history of our country.
Most of them are comfortable with phones and data abusing people who do not share their views in the name of working for one politician or another.

The history of Nigeria cannot be fully appreciated without taking into account the military incursion in politics. It all started with the January 15, 1966 coup d’etat led by Major Nzeogwu and …

The incompetence of the Nigerian Security Chiefs

The incompetence of the Nigerian Security Chiefs

September 10, 2019 4:04 am

By MarkAnthony Nze

On countless times, the Nigerian military leadership under the All Progressives Congress (APC) thus far has clearly shown that it is collectively a body of  incompetent fellows who were in the first instance appointed Generals, given the exalted positions based on the quota system of Nigeria’s government appointment or nepotism, and not particularly on merit.

The maladministration of APC which has brought untold hardship to the masses of Nigeria has further wrecked the security structure of the country with the sort of incompetent military leadership it parades, who ostensibly are the pride of the country.

Basically, Nigeria …

Gov. Ihedioha promises to pay pension in Imo

Why Governor Ihedioha must not fail

September 7, 2019 11:20 pm

By MarkAnthony Nze

Political power is as sweet as it is intoxicating in Africa generally, and Nigeria particularly. It gives politicians who have achieved it, a certain air of arrogance or confidence depending on the individual that wields such power.

For Sir Emeka Ihedioha, the incumbent governor of Imo state, it should be that of confidence, and not arrogance considering the way, the notoriety of his predecessor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, ruined his political image in Imo state.

Ihedioha is not a new comer or novice to the intricate politics of Nigeria, and the bluntness of Imo people that he …

Xenophobia: The jealousy of South Africans will slay them

Xenophobia: The jealousy of South Africans will slay them

September 4, 2019 3:02 am

By MarkAnthony Nze

South Africa is supposedly, among the most seemingly developed countries in Africa currently, however it is a a huge shame that the country is enmeshed heavily in xenophobia, a shameless act, so despicable for her to be involved in. It is even more disheartening that the country is launching the heinous attacks on African immigrants.

It is quite disappointing that a country like South Africa that other African countries with Nigeria in the fore-front, supported to fight apartheid is now turning around to fight Nigerians, and other African nationals just because they are doing better than the …

Femi Adesina, chief liar and propagandist of APC

Femi Adesina, chief liar and propagandist of Nigeria

𝐁𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐲 𝐍𝐳𝐞

Femi Adesina, the special adviser to the purported President Muhammadu Buhari on media and publicity is in no doubt a seasoned journalist, who had paid his dues in the field of journalism but unfortunately, ever since he was appointed by the presidency, the member of the fourth estate of the realm had relegated the ethics of the profession, and his own integrity to the thrash by flagrantly defending the indefensible in the All Progressives Congress(APC) led maladministration.

Adesina’s corrupt romance with the present-day Nigerian government only proved that in truth, he had no conscience, and that …

Abba Kyari: The unofficial president of Nigeria

Abba Kyari: The unofficial President of Nigeria

August 28, 2019 3:28 am

By MarkAnthony Nze

Officially, Abba Kyari is supposed to be the Chief of Staff to the Nigerian President, he was first appointed to this position precisely on the 27th of August 2015, and towards the end of 2017, with the demise of President Muhammadu Buhari, he craftily enthroned himself, the overall leader of the country, and since then he and other members of the All Progressives Congress(APC) have been running the affairs of Nigeria having Jubril Al-Sudani, a Sudanese impostor being paraded as President Muhammadu Buhari.

This deceit by the APC Cabal led by Kyari went on for quite …

Sometime In April 2016, Fulani herdsmen massacred about 48 people in just one night in Ukpabi Nimbo in Uzo-Uwani Local Government area of Enugu state.

He declared 2 days of Mourning, fasting and prayers.
It was further revealed that there was security report on the impending attack, yet nothing was done to prevent it.

Recently, there’s a resurgent Fulani herdsmen attack in Enugu state.…

It has always been all about the crude oil

It has always been all about the crude oil

August 22, 2019 10:32 pm

By Odumodu Gbulagu

It’s common knowledge that Nigeria economy is dependent on crude oil, no matter every effort to diversify the economy.

While few people know about the scramble to control this goose that lays the golden egg, many Nigerians are blind to the fact.

After Buhari won elections in 2015, Ibe Kachikwu was the GMD NNPC(the company that controls the goose and its golden eggs),but he was tactically removed from there, and made a junior minister of petroleum, while Maikanti Baru was made the head of NNPC, and Buhari became the minister of petroleum.

A senior minister of …

The politics of shutting down Akanu Ibiam International Airport

Politics of shutting down Akanu Ibiam International Airport

August 22, 2019 9:29 pm

By Odumodu Gbulagu

The worst thing that can happen to a man is for an oppressor to clearly deny him the knowledge of his history by tactically erasing it, so that the future generation won’t know the truth.
To achieve this, they make the oppressed think he’s the oppressor with little brainwashing.

Teaching of history in Nigeria schools wasn’t stopped for nothing, and the intended reason so far has been having full effect.

It’s no news that the federal government wanted to close down the airport indefinitely, and after some measures put in place by Enugu state government and the …

The Afonjas of Igboland

The Afonjas of Igboland

August 18, 2019 2:01 am

By Odumodu Gbulagu

Just as Afonja sold out, and because of his inordinate ambition, enlisted the Fulani through Alimi to help him fight his brothers, his subsequent fallout with the people he enlisted, his death and takeover of Ilorin by the Fulani; so it is in the South-East during Saturday 23rd February sham called elections.

The personal ambitions of these lots, made them connive with Jubril (Buhari) to rig the elections in the South-East.

They systematically agreed after a meeting that all the South-East Governors must give Jubril (Buhari) the constitutional 25% of the total votes cast in every state.…

Open letter to Omoyele Sowore

Dear Sowore,
…safe trip to prison
In 2010, some powerful elements within the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, under the leadership of Bola Tinubu approached the publisher of Sahara Reporters which is being published in New York, Omoyele Sowore, in order to help them rubbish the government of the then president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan whom they referred to as a weak and minority president at that time.
Tinubu personally bought a mansion worth $2m for Sowore  in Boston, bought him two exotic cars, built him two Mansions in Lagos and Ondo states and as well put him on
