His love for parents’ country of of birth is rock solid. Anthony Joshua deserves our support in this period of grief following a traffic accident that claimed the lives of his friends,, Latif Kevin Ayodele and Sina Ghemi  on the Lagos – Ibadan highway. The height of patriotism is to believe in your country, irrespective of the […]

I see Nigeria’s light come shining in 2027 with President Bola Tinubu wearing the garb of a true Statesman, determined to bring the much desired change that will permanently bring the Civil War which began in 1967, to a deserved end. Tinubu’s way to the top may still be a subject of scrutiny but what […]

People sacrificed their lives fighting for you, many wasted their active years in the bush only to be abandoned at the end of the  Civil War. The effects are here now, MASSOB, IPOB, power drunk 419ers, there will be no peace until we remember those who died defending Ndigbo. My message is clear. Until the Igbo, as […]

War, they say, is a series of surprises. Those who dread death stay away from it, this is enough reason to salute our heroes, including Brig. General Musa Uba ,who go to battle, bent on keeping compatriots safe from invaders and terrorists. Uba, Commanding Officer, 25 Task Force Brigade was lost in an ambush by Islamic State […]

These are indeed trying times when we must stay away from the usual local propaganda that will only harden the minds of those who should mean well for all of us. American president Donald Trump is on the same page with president Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The big deal here is insecurity. Indeed Nigeria is under siege. […]

The atmosphere went back fifty years as the hall was filled with boys and girls who exited Maryland Comprehensive Secondary School, Lagos in 1975. They refer to themselves as Landers. I landed at Zen Garden Chinese Restaurant, Ikeja GRA, with this class. The 1975 set was celebrating 50 years of Great Reunion. I was invited by Captain […]

Those who do not know Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe are missing out in so many areas. The Obi of Onitsha, a lover of Arts and Culture, is as polished as the most exposed diplomat and knows almost everything about global oil economy. Ojinnaka Obi Asika, Director – General of National Council for Arts and Culture, […]

Major Davis Okoroji died with his uncle Major E.O. Amechi Okoro on their way back to Jaji, Kaduna State in 1992. Both officers hailed from Onicha Ezinihitte, in the Mbaise area of Imo State.The C- 130 Hercules military aircraft that was supposed to fly them to Kaduna, crashed shortly after take – off from the Murtala Mohammed […]

Those who think they understand President Bola Tinubu should pause for a moment and ask themselves if they really know the Governor General of Nigerian politics well enough. The only one individual that reads Tinubu, is the Jagaban himself. The way events are unfolding, Tinubu may end up as the Best President this country ever had. […]

Much more should be done in memory of all those who died in the military plane crash that claimed over 200 persons in the Isheri Oshun part of Lagos on Saturday September 26, 1992. It is thirty three years since that unfortunate incident. Many of those the officers left behind are still in tears. Some of them […]

King Jaja’s rise from treachery to the throne continues to fascinate me not simply for standing up against Imperialist oppressors, his place of birth, Amaigbo, is just a stone throw from my village. Born free, he was shackled into slavery and ended up founding Opobo in 1869. That is my attraction to Opobo, a town in today’s […]

Politicians must know when to draw the line between terminological inexactitudes and fact. I was born at St. Philomena Hospital Benin City in the First Republic when there was no Mid – West Region, it is nauseating to hear Comrade Senator Adams Oshiomhole jive about Labour Party leader, Peter Obi. Oshiomhole, a former governor of Edo State, […]

People of the South -East must rise now to rid the streets of loose, unemployed youth terrorising everyone, from Enugu to Ebonyi down to Anambra, Imo and Abia. I love what Dr. Richard Onyeani (Roco) and Michael Chukwudi Amaefula are doing. Sports, especially football, is one huge industry that will not only empower many, it will also […]

There are books and there are books. In this age of Fast Cash, many Nigerians do not read especially when all they need to drive big cars and drink exotic wine is paint all sorts of obnoxious deals with the Yahoo brush. There is trouble waiting for everyone. I am glad Offiong Esua took pains to put […]
