Fayose’s insufferable political rascality, by Ikechukwu Amaechi
Nigeria is at a crossroads – politically, economically and socially. There is no easy way out of the bind. You believe President Bola Tinubu’s preachment of ‘Renewed Hope’ at your own peril because blind trust is always a risky proposition. And that is what the administration wants Nigerians to do – trust blindly. They want […]
Betta Edu and the crime scene called Nigeria, By Ikechukwu Amaechi
Dr Betta Edu, the vivacious and chirpy politician from Cross River State, must be introspecting now. Just yesterday, she had the world at her feet, literally, and Nigeria was her oyster, where, it seemed, she could achieve anything she wished. And she achieved a lot. Born October 27, 1986, Betta chalked up incredible attainments in only 37 […]
Why the Plateau bloodbath won’t stop anytime soon, By Ikechukwu Amaechi
In the last one month, I have refrained from commenting on Nigeria’s woes, the hypocrisy of the elite and exasperating charlatanism and tomfoolery of the people, who, holding the wrong end of the stick, not only exhibit a shocking indifference to their parlous realities but also act as enablers to the wayward leadership. Is it not […]
From grass to glory: NPF Pensions’ 10-year odyssey, By Ikechukwu Amaechi
Saturday, October 21, 2023, was exactly ten years since the Nigeria Police Force Pensions Limited was incorporated.

The […]
When Ndigbo celebrated their own, By Ikechukwu Amaechi
As Nigeria’s political elites continue to fool around in Rivers State pretending to be preferring solution to self-inflicted political wound, it is refreshing to see groups celebrating excellence, merit and competence in a country where mediocrity and absolute lack of character have become the keys that unlock high public offices. That was exactly what Aka Ikenga […]
As Air Peace seizes my money, By Ikechukwu Amaechi
Truth be told, Air Peace is taking Nigerians for granted. Rather than being humbled by the success they have recorded, humility being the hallmark of greatness, the proprietors of the company have become arrogant and conceited.
Citizen Rhoda Jatau on my mind, By Ikechukwu Amaechi
AT the 2023 TheNiche Annual Lecture, Rotimi Amaechi, former Governor of Rivers State, lamented what he considered a national malaise. “Nigerians don’t react to anything,” he said. Looking straight into the eyes of the distinguished audience, he asserted: “Even if you come to a Nigerian man’s house and kill his mother, the father will continue with […]
As Dr. Hamza Bokki takes a bow from NPF Pensions, By Ikechukwu Amaechi
IT was Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, who once said: “As empty vessels make the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest blabbers.” It is not surprising, therefore, that in a country where such a dictum holds sway, as, indeed, it does in Nigeria, Dr. Hamza Sule Wuro Bokki is not […]
George Weah and the real lessons from Liberia, By Ikechukwu Amaechi
Democracy thrives when leaders respect the will of the people as President Weah has just done.
Air Peace, our misery, their goal, By Ikechukwu Amaechi
Many Nigerians have missed out on important businesses, interviews and medical appointments and even examinations because of the shortcomings of Air Peace
Nigeria’s democracy and the sin of self-deception, By Ikechukwu Amaechi
While the politically naïve tries to convince the electorate to vote for them, which was what the likes of Peter Obi did, the “astute” politicians go for security agencies particularly the police and Department of State Services, DSS, and INEC officials.
