History have many faces.sometimes,it comes as a reoccurring events, sometime,it becomes also the template where future events take place. Whichever way,history is created, the importance thing is that, they is always lessons to be learned. For those who allowed negative history to happen again might not has learned from the impact or they are not fully in line of it's chaos, but for the oppressed,the vengeance for revenge sound sweet when pressing a for such events. When the Boko Haram was created during 2007 at the early years of the democracy depensation, the actors and sponsors never foreseen the dangers ahead.just like Ipob, they were regionists who think,the monster would be a conduits to draw political sympathy to their regions.They were all kind of political atities between the ruling party and the opposition members then,which person like me believed, led to the distraction at the time the center government should have weighed the big Hammer ...

Our country, "Nigeria," is at a crossroads, and whatever we do as a people to salvage the situation will not be too great a sacrifice. From community leaders to our politicians, the beacon is on, but the people heeding the calls are what should be most important to the masses. It is not because the current political class who threw their hats into the contest are not qualified, but Nigerians are afraid of what would still be their political actions if some of them are still returned to office. Available records of some of them have shown that most of them were corrupt-minded while in their previous office, and it is mind-boggling if one gets to know the enormity of wealth most of them have when they can purchase nomination forms of their party as high as a hundred million naira in a chicken exchange. Regardless of the image laundering done by some of them to relaunch their stolen wealth and create a nice impression of successful technocrats in their careers, it is a sm...

  The rumors of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele, contesting the presidency come as striking rumors to some of us. It was an ambition taken beyond many Nigerians' imagination. At first, I was minding my business, thinking such a thing could not happen, looking at the statutory rules governing the Act of the Apex bank. But this is Nigeria, my country, where the least imagined things can happen.  First, the news started flying in that a group of young Nigerians under the auspices of "Emefiele Friends" are contributing money among themselves to raise a hundred million naira to purchase a nomination form for Godwin Emefiele and then persuade the CBN governor to stand for the presidency.    The news stories about this group keep trending both in mainstream and social media. Interestingly, nobody takes this group seriously and neither does the CBN governor nor his personal aids, having seen or heard of the activities of the group, issue any press sta...

It is Saturday morning, probably the end of April 2022, and about 155 days to the general election of the most populous black nation in the world. The local radio stations have been my favorites, not because they have good content, but as a young promising columnist I had promised to be, I usually listened each time to get my daily opinion, which I used most times to sum up my views in the early hours of every morning across the different radio platforms. As divisive as some of the opinions were, they gave a clear picture of what average voters in this part of the world think about their political leaders. Most Nigerians are obsessed with various types of sediments, ranging from religion to ethnicity, regional bigotry, and even making the right decisions regarding their political rights. It is like some Nigerians have lost their political history or cannot even store any. The worse is that, we have lost empathy, humanity and clear conscience, and l...

As the race to who represents the Southern Benue zone C gets thicker, they are an indication that the game may be changing. This is may be results to the recent declaration of the former deputy majority leader in the house of Representatives in 2011 Hon. Nelson Alakpa who was at the national conference centre to pick his nomination form to contest for Senate under his party APC. Feelers coming from his camp showed that the majority of the political big weights in Igedeland make up seventy percent of the people that accompany the former Honorable to pick the form. One of the opposition party members whose fellow Hon. Nelson picked his form of expression from Igede and had this to say, “we are here with him because Nelson is our own, his Mother is from Igede, and if the Idoma felt they will not give us the Senate, one of our sons from our mother's side should to represent us . 'We are confident Nelson is our son, we saw what he did when he was in the House of Representatives, ...

  I've written a series of articles about the current political climate as the country prepares for the next general election in 2023. In the last twenty years or thereabout, both the ruling party (APC) and the main opposition party (PDP) have not been able to find profound solutions to many of the problems confronting the nation, ranging from the insecurity that has almost consumed the entire country to the galloping inflation that has characterized everyday life of the common masses. It is now obvious that this is an over-the-bar game for Nigerians as we watch helplessly how the current political class has turned the nation's economy and political environment into an irreversible downward spiral of crisis. Either because the politicians in these parties have no answers to the questions, or because both parties that have clenched to power in the last two decades have deliberately refused to do the needful that would have put the country at its best bearing for develop...

The outcomes of the people Democrate Party (PDP) Zoning Committee headed by Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state some weeks ago makes public the commitee decisions to throw open the candiadiacy of its presidential flag-bearer, so, all its aspirants who has expressed desire to contest the presidential elections under its party can freely do so while the option also give room for party delegates to elect their choice of candidate as the party flag- bearer in an open contest.

Delta state under the leadership of his excellency,Dr Ifeanyi Okowa can be described as a visionary,focus and determined leader who uses every opportunity to set a pace for his people among the rest states within the region. There is no doubts ,sooner or later,the mono petrodollar economy which has characterized the bedrock of Nigeria economic will gradually fade out and the place of human resources which is globally accepted to be “the best of national resources” will fend the nation economic even down to states levels.

A glances at APC Covention tomorrow The All Progressive Congress (APC), Nigeria ruling political party is set to go with its national convention on twentysix of March 2022 tomorrow.

As usual,the party has resolved to consensus candidature like one of it's sister political opposition party,making the President endorsed candidate the man to be unveiled tomorrow,while some of the contestants are passively not happy with the decision of the President, a look at the last night dinner with Mr.president revealed “anxieties” in faces of some of the candidates, but in Nigeria,we have puppets adults as our political leaders who can hardly cough for their pains unless they are throw out of the sharing formula.
