How can killing Tompolo, Fara, Ateke, Boyloaf, Afrika, Shoot At Sight, Young Shall Grow and others stop the numerous unsung Tompolos in the creeks who owe our people at home and in the Diaspora this noble duty to bring justice and peace to our land?

For Chief Alex Ifeanyichukwu Ekwueme (Ide), Second Republic vice president of Nigeria, the definition of contentment can never be subjective.

All I have, was acquired personally. Even before he was arrested, he was indebted to me to the tune of One hundred and seventy million naira (N170 million).

Whether you love or hate Henry Okah, he is a symbol of sorts for the Niger-Delta struggle. Leader of the Niger-Delta People Volunteer Force (NDPVF), Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, who recently declared Okah as his enemy was the first to publicly proclaim him a gun runner. The Federal Government came up with the same charge, which had been withdrawn and the latest is “General” Boyloaf, who people use to refer to as Okah’s “second-in-command”.

Tompolo was no longer wanted by the task force, the search for him was called –off and the task force had no business monitoring when he enters Gbaramatu kingdom or not

By Ifeanyi Okolie Residents of Orile Iganmu, a suburb of Lagos State have been thrown into disarray following reports of desperate search for 24 human heads allegedly by some traditional religious worshippers in the area, to appease their gods before a gigantic tree standing on the marked portion of the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, could be cut […]

There is no part of Lagos that some improvement is not being planned. People should be patient and remember that all would not be done in a day. We understand their fears but some fears are unwarranted. You know this is a democracy. People are entitled to their opinions. But what we must understand is that this government is an open-door government.

These are not the best of times for an octogenarian close political associate of late Chief Obafemi Awolowo. The Chieftain of defunct Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) and grand daughter of Alafin of Oyo, Hon. (Dr.) Victoria Aliu Akinyele did not envisage that her twilight days would be that miserable.

*Workers fault FG on factories inspection at ILC By Funmi Komolafe, VictorAhiuma Young & Wahab Abdullah WITH globalisation, governments, especially in developing countries, have been been making efforts to attract foreign investments.  That’s in order, you would say but at what cost? In an attempt to retain such investors, some governments have either just looked […]

In the morning of 22nd of April, I woke to pray in the house, as we woke to have our morning devotion. I heard a coup broadcast. It was in that coup broadcast that I heard there was a coup. And I did not know that the coup was in my house.

By Jide Ajani & Umoru Henry In another move predicated on a noble objective, some politicians, members of civil society and professionals have again come together to make attempt at setting Nigeria’s democracy on a firm footing insisting that the sanctity of votes is the answer. Interestingly, a miss-mash of politicians who appear to have […]

They’re given 60 days of cease fire, 60 days to make peace. If you go there, nobody will shoot you, look for one or two people, talk to a team, they might not open up, but at least, they will give you an idea. You can’t stop them. They need money, the admonitions will not help them. They need money.

With out a doubt, the greatest problem of the Niger Delta has been neglect, complete absence of infrastructures and the fact that the people of the region are seen as irrelevant and inconsequential.

There is nothing about royalty for the people of the Niger Delta. There is nothing about the cleaning up of the environment which is more damaging to the communities. There is nothing about any condition of how Niger Delta states and communities can have a stake in the industry, for example, a provision that will allow them preference to some oil blocs which they can exploit so that they can have significant practice in the industry.

Speaking during the official signing of the agreement, Kanu, Coordinator of the KHF, said the partnership arrangement had been in incubating for over year but got a break through in May 2009 in England when both parties finally agreed to collaborate in a partnership arrangement where 50 heart patients from the stable of the KHF will receive free open heart surgery every year in the Salam Center for Cardiac Surgery, at the Blue Nile area of Khartoum, Sudan.
