A gentleman, down to earth per excellence. Hon Leo Ogor as a lawmaker has many unsung testimonies of achievements within the years of his stewardship at the National Assembly. His developmental ideals over the years has endeared him to his constituents and indeed marked him for bigger challenges in the socio-political circles of Delta state and Nigeria as a democratic Nation.

First, may we please take a lengthy aside. Reactions to my last article, “Question for Former President Goodluck Jonathan” revealed the real trouble with social media. Despite my having expressly invited robust debates on certain things such as how the immediate past President fitted the bill of a “Philosophy King,” or how the man showed “restraint,” no debate, no matter how lean or hungry, came.

IN an election season, especially Nigeria’s electoral cycle that can better be described as a scorch-earth contestation for political power,  anything and anyone is fair game. This is so at a time that what the highly Politically Exposed Persons, h-PEP, say can deliberately be misconstrued and/or intentionally twisted to arrive at a pre-determined conclusion (no matter how senseless and outlandish) in their bids for votes. Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, is once again being pilloried for daring to speak the truth by shedding light on the pathway that his people should take if they’re desirous of contesting for power in 2023.

The problems facing Nigeria today are basically caused by square pegs being placed in round holes

I REMEMBER vividly the ugly  experiences I had in the early 1980s at Ninth Mile Corner as a growing child travelling and returning from Enugu, where I usually spent my holidays at my uncle’s house. I usually would encounter heavy traffic snarl within the Ninth Mile axis of the Ninth Mile-Oturkpo road that linked Enugu and Benue states. For this reason, my parents had always warned me not to travel or return from Enugu late in the evening, if I don’t want to sleep at Ninth Mile.
