One lesson I learnt over the years is to ignore rabble rousers no matter the degree of their provocation. The recurrent decimal that defines political failures is their unalloyed penchant at deploying religion and ethnicity in craving for a seat on the political gravy train. The irony is the success rate of this tactics notwithstanding the damage it does to the polity and national cohesion. Are politicians really ready to learn or is the number the most important factor no matter the character of coalescing individuals?

WE in the Enugu Peoples Assembly, EPA, are at a loss as to why nothing seems to be happening politically and infrastructurally in the South-East geo-political zone, despite the calibre of Ndigbo in President Goodluck Jonathan’s government.

The Action Congress, alias Tinubu’s baby; Congress for Progressive Change, Buhari’s alter ego, and the All Nigerian Peoples Party, chaired by Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu and the little half of APGA under Owelle Rochas Okorocha, Governor of Imo State.

History beacons on August 24, 2013 as the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu is set to receive the first international flight to the Coal City. Ethiopian Airlines issued a July 26, 2013 statement, indicating its readiness to be the first international carrier to fly to the Airport.

POLITICS, as they say, is a game of intrigues. It is also a game reputed for throwing up superstars who readily distinguish themselves in the service of man and humanity.

LAND and landed property are most expensive in Lagos than any other part of Nigeria, except for a part of the Central Business District area of the FCT, Abuja. Landed property in Banana Island, for example, has been reported to be one of the most expensive in the world.

OGUTA Local Government Area of Imo State is one of the two oil producing local government areas in the state. It accounts for a good chunk of the oil revenue that comes into the state coffers on a monthly basis, both from the Federal Government and from the oil companies as taxes.

THOSE that call me a tribalist and an Igbo-hater are simply misguided and ignorant. Perhaps they do not know the meaning of those words or the true import of their meaning.

POLITICS in this part of the world has for a long time been defined by a devious colour of brute force and gangsterism, a phenomenon that has robbed the game of the finesse, fidelity and exotic qualities of progressive political ideals which are the driving principles of government in the developed world.

WITH the Anambra State governorship election slated for November 16, this year around the corner, the question that begs for answer is, “what will be the position of Ndi Anambra in 2014 and beyond?”
