Conviction of the Ekweremadus: The lessons The guilty verdicts pronounced by Justice Jeremy Johnson at Bailey Court in London recently on former Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, his wife, Beatrice Ekweremadu, and their medical doctor, Obinna Obeta... The guilty verdicts pronounced by Justice Jeremy Johnson at Bailey Court in London recently on former Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, his wife, Beatrice Ekweremadu, and their medical doctor, Obinna Obeta, offer serious lessons for all Nigerians. Given the fact of the average Nigerian mentality that everything is always possible, what happened to Ekweremadu could as well happen to other Nigerians. One lesson of course, is a reminder that Nigerians are too inclined to cut corners to achieve personal objectives, and without dwelling on the aftermath of that action. But the world is not moving in that direction, and as it happened to the Ekweremadus, there is always a rude shock waiting to happen. It ...

Between 1999 and 2003, Prof. Onje Gye-Wado served as deputy governor under the leadership of Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the current national chairman of the APC. While the comm...

TINUBU: CHIMAMANDA'S A PARTISAN OBI SUPPORTER, BIDEN MUSTN'T LISTEN TO HER - OMOKIRI Reno Omokri, a critic, advised US President Joe Biden to treat anything Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie said on Nigeria's election with skepticism because she is Peter Obi's partisan. Adichie had written an open letter to Biden in which she questioned why Americans kept applauding Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the winner of the Nigerian presidential election. Despite not being in the country to observe the election, Adichie described it as a disaster. She said, "I backed Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate, and thought he would win, as polls projected, but I was prepared to accept any result because we had been promised that technology would defend the sanctity of ballots. "The searing despair felt by many Nigerians is not so much that their candidate did not win as it is that the election they had dared to believe in was, in the end, so terribly and unforgivably defective....

 TRENDING GUY!  DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES POTABLE ATTENDED CORRECTIONAL CENTRE BECAUSE OF DRUGS, HE WILL VISIT THEM AND STILL INSULT POLICE AGAIN WATCH OUT. Portable is never among the lists of 100 Nigerian artists I can listen to their music but he has the ability to entertain everyone around when he is on stage. At least he can make you laugh. When INEC declared Tinubu the winner of the just concluded presidential election, portable released a song and called Peter Obi a small boy. That action to me was very childish of him because he hurt the emotions of many of his followers who are Obi-dient. I know music is his business but at least he should be strategic. He was heavily paid to campaign for APC and he made lots of money from that. To him, he believes he has belonged and has arrived socially since he is in contact with the movers and shakers of Nigerian political space. He believes he can do whatever he likes and get away with it since he is a celebrity babo...

FOR THE NEXT FOURS YEARS, THIS IS HOW THOSE WHO USED YOU TO RIG 2023 ELECTION WILL ALWAYS GATHER IN EXPENSIVE HOTEL EITHER IN NIGERIA OR ABROAD TO ENJOY THEMSELVES BUT YOU WOULD NEVER BE THERE  After using you as a political thug to secure electoral victory , they will still put you in your class. They know where you belong and you too knows that when the gathering of men start, your name won't be found there. When they want to gather to give themselves pats on their backs for a rigging job well done, your name won't be found there. They have given you N5,000 to go and maim others and that is where your remunerations starts and ends. When they begin to gather to sip whisky costing as much as N9million per bottle, my dear, you won't be there. You don't belong to their class. Whether you were one of the INEC staff, police officials or civilian soldiers they used to maim your fellow nigerian because of election, you simply belongs to the class of election disru...

The pain of losing a newborn child can easily be surmounted. But the pain of losing a 15yr old boy whom you believe in short period of time, will start making you proud cannot easily be surmounted. The pain and grieve is better imagined than to be experienced. My heartfelt condolences goes to Yul Edochie family. Nobody knows whether the brouhaha with his first wife adversely affected his children whom are torn apart in-between two love-lost parents. The children might be missing their father whom understands them better than their mother or they were missing their mother whom understands them better than their father. It is quite understandable when children were missing either of their parent due to death that took either of them away. Soon they will overcome the grieve and move on. But it is very difficult for them to process the reason why both of their parents living happily before under one roof are currently no longer living in one roof.  As their father is busy w...

Quite some days now we have been hearing the rumors of some group of persons conspiring to install an Interim government instead of swearing in Tinubu as the next president of Nigeria. We don't know how true this rumors are but we know there are no smokes without fire. DSS has confirmed the rumor while APC is instructing DSS to arrest Dr Datti Baba Ahmed for questioning concerning this underground plan to install interim government.  Some lawyers has said that our constitution didn't recognize interim government therefore any Interim government installed is totally unconstitutional, a submission APC totally agreed with. But let me ask some questions here because as a novice, I learn everyday. ▪️ Is it constitutional for APC to manipulate election results nationwide with impunity because they have influence over INEC and other agencies of the government? ▪️Is it constitutional for APC supporters to openly threaten opposition supporters in Lagos never to come out and ...

2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS, THE WORST IN NIGERIA HISTORY.-----GANI ADAMS  Aare Onakakanfo of Yoruba land, Iba Gani Adams has said the conduct of 2023 general election leaves so much to be desired. Adams flayed politicians for whipping up ethnic sentiment and failing to abide by the rules of the electoral process.

THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE SERVICES (DSS), AGAIN, ALERTS THE PUBLIC OF PLANS TO VIOLENTLY DISRUPT PEACE IN THE COUNTRY. BUT THEY DID NOT NOTICE WHEN ELECTIONS WERE RIGGED. The Department of State Services (DSS), again, alerts the public of plans to violently disrupt peace in the country. But they did not notice when elections were rigged. DSS did not notice when LP supporters were stabbed, DSS did not notice MC Oluomo threaten Igbos in Lagos, and burn shops. DSS is simply corrupt & partisan. Whether the DSS acknowledges it or not it works for the Nigerian people. The people do not work for it. All it will take is to get the right people in government and the arrogant DSS need to be dissolved and replaced with some other organization that works at the instance of the people of Nigeria. The agency had recently raised a similar alert saying it had uncovered a plot to incite violence in some parts of the country, particularly the north-central zone. It is evident that some agg...
