The 9/11 that never happened: What Britain saved the world from
TWENTY-FIVE years after the planes struck America, the most frightening part of 9/11 may not be what the terrorists achieved, but what they originally intended to achieve - and what intelligence agencies have since learned to prevent.

Gov Obiano and the invitation of history
Although the world hardly knows this, the Obiano administration is currently in more exciting times than during the political barnstorming that culminated in his re-election. All the meetings, all the workshops, all the strategy sessions, all the commissioned studies since initiated are aimed at one word: LEGACY! Governor Willie Obiano currently dreams, talks, walks and exudes Legacy!
Compared to Jonathan, Buhari is a weakling – Reno
“I Never Knew the IGP Moved To Nasarawa After I Sent Him To Benue”. These were the words of President Muhammadu Buhari, a man sold to Nigeria as a strongman leader.
Okorocha, Archbishop Obinna and the dilemma of opponents
THE opponents of Governor Rochas Okorocha’s administration in Imo State appear somewhat frustrated. Out of this self-inflicted frustration, you see anger, hatred, and to a large extent, stagnation. To ease this frustration, they always try to make something out of every incident or situation in the State. They pursue with vigor whatever they think can help them out of this frustration, but all to no avail. They have not been able to make any headway. And there is a reason for that.
Lagos state and the politics of taxation
The government of Lagos state seems to be currently in the eye of the storm over its introduction of a law, a property tax as it were, known as the Land Use Charge Act of 2018, which repeals a similar law of 2001, and consolidates ground rent, tenement rate, and neigbourhood development levy. The Land Use Charge is payable in respect of all real estate in the state. But it is probably the most controversial move that has been made by the Akinwunmi Ambode administration in Lagos state, an administration that has so far enjoyed tremendous goodwill on account of its huge investment in infrastructure and human capital development in the last three years.

I THOUGHT I was in a trance of some sort while reading from the internet madrasa that Edo State House of Assembly has legislated against its own autonomy, the Judiciary, as much as against the Edo people!
Abia civil society, grassroots and elites yearning for Ikpeazu’s 2nd term
Ever since APGA suffered a crushing 2015 defeat at the Abia governorship election, Alex Otti and his cronies, wailers and crybabies are still crestfallen, blaming, grumbling and throwing rancor, tantrums against INEC, Abia elders and pouring abuse at every imaginable externalities and nebula for their dreary outing. One Elder Dan Chinyere Imo, a side kick of Alex Otti, masquerading as a former “National President” of Ukwa/Ngwa League: writing in the March 5, 2018 edition of DAILY SUN, futilely sought to besmirch the integrity and person of His Excellency, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu.
The madness of Sheik Abubakar Gero Argungu, the devil in Yemi Osinbajo
“My brethren the Infidels in this country are pointing their fingers to our faces we also should do the same. After the message I gave in Rijau Niger state and presently am in Kontagora the message was delivered to the President through a reliable source.
Imo 2019 on my mind
To compile the false history of the Okorocha years will be a chronicle of pain, disappointments, and missed opportunities
