admin

admin

1.    We received with utter shock and amazement, the laughable buzzing news both in the traditional and social media,   signed and circulated by one Mazi Chika Edoziem, purportedly claiming to be Head, Directorate of State of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra  (IPOB). 2.    The National Secretariat of IPOB  in Nigeria wish to state clearly and in unmistaken terms that the said press statement emanating from Mazi Chika  Edoziem  should be discountenanced and disregarded in its totality. We strongly condemn it, as dubious, treacherous, unacceptable, illegal and a mockery…

NEMA And The Vindication Of “Saint” Maihaja By Kenneth-Kaunda Adamu

admin

Some Nigerian leaders would never desist from springing surprises. They have a predisposition to resurrect expired animosities with opponents. They play it out with embellished and dubious pretenses, unduly exploiting the advantage of strength of the current offices they occupy. In such circumstances, the leaders mask the real motives and play the stroke of vengeance, as if it is for national or public interest. It is done to earn undeserved public sympathy to their selfish cause. This appears to be the raging controversy between the Speaker of the House of…

Exorcising The PDP Spirit In Dogara By Dan Enyi

admin

Nigeria’s main opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has something mysterious about it. As a political party, its name invokes the feeling of nausea and destruction anywhere it is echoed. One can easily conclude that what’s in a name, after all, it’s just mere alphabets. But strangely, for PDP, even the human characters which populate the party have this queer and repulsive character. Their trademark is indiscernible pride and unbridled appetite to pillage the state. When they pranced the corridors of power for 16 years, misruling and misgoverning Nigeria, one…
