According to him, the importance of making prohibitive law…
In his raunchy custom of reckless spending and wastage of public funds, Governor Nyesom Wike, organized a multi-million naira jumbo reception rally to welcome Dr Ibiamu Davies Ikanya, erstwhile Chairman of Rivers State All Progressives Party (APC) and his clownish compadre, Igo Aguma, into the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The invitation was after the duo, alongside others, successfully executed the artfully contrived scheme for which they were hired by the Governor, to help his 2019 re-election bid, by stirring up and sustaining crisis in the Rivers State Chapter of the APC. For conscious political watchers, it was a homecoming rather…

TB Joshua was too generous and humble. He was a good man and never looked down on anyone.

While I was reflecting on the current challenges facing the nation in the area of insecurity, I got a phone call from a younger friend who wanted my opinion on the happenings in the South East of Nigeria, my nativity.

He asked why the youths are destroying the properties of fellow Igbos and equally engaging in upstaging the socio-economic progress of the Eastern Region. Yes, he was right but only to the extent that…
