By Emeka Obasi Many politicians will get a permanent address in retirement pretty soon.

By Emeka Obasi Fourth Republic politicians are predictable, you know their next move before they think it out simply because love for country is not strong as love for self and band of praise singing supporters. Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has been known as a dogged fighter who applied his mouth as a dangerous […]

By Emeka Obasi Hard tackling defender Bright Omokaro started as an offensive midfielder. In 1973, he was confronted by AbdulRahman Abdulrazaq who today sits in Ilorin as governor of Kwara State.

Senator Ademola Adeleke dances with as much zeal as Michael Jackson, I guess that explains Jackson as one of his names. His nephew, Davido is also a big name in music so we are going to see dance parties in Osun for a long while.

Leadership gains so much from experience even when it is offered on a platter of gold. Quality evolves when power comes through years gained moving from one position to another in an upward journey.

By Emeka Obasi Strange things are happening in Igbo land, from the banks of River Niger to the thick forests of Nkalagu down to the creeks of Egbema. It is wake up time for the people and Governors Charles Soludo and Hope Uzodimma must unite for good. Soludo is the fresh air in the Anambra space […]

By Emeka Obasi There is little humour left in many  Nigerians possibly because fourth republic politics reset their brains in such a dreadful manner that even football, the nation’s only source of peaceful coexistence is bleeding with hate speech. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu took to the the pitch recently to celebrate his 70th birthday. Ordinarily, […]

By Emeka Obasi Technology grants power more bite than neo media. If you want to make fast returns in investment, definitely social media comes in handy. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine is a lawyer who did so well acting films. The globe keeps going round. We have heard of balance of power, we passed through […]

Peace moves work better when all feuding parties are given opportunity to table their grievances. It does not matter from which angle such steps are brokered. Osun State governor Adegboyega Oyetola is accessible.
