Why I am in support of Mbaka, by Rev Okwara
The Catholic priest, Father Ejike Mbaka, of Enugu Diocese does not need any introduction in Nigeria. He is by far, the most popular and well known priest in the country. His fame, ministry and preaching style are well known. There are very few Catholic clerics in Nigeria and Africa that can attract the type of mammoth crowd that follows him to his Adoration Ministry ground and wherever else he goes to. When it comes to fame and popularity, he does not need any introduction; so, I would not spend my time doing that. But I want to share my view on the most recent controversial sermon he delivered on New Year eve.
The Okowa plan
AS transitions go, the unity of purpose and inclusiveness in the PDP politics of Delta state is remarkable even if it is not sometimes recognized such. After a fierce governorship primary in the party, the coming together of majority of the contestants and their followers to work and to promote a common front in the February general election is a masterstroke in political bridge-building. Credit should naturally go to Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan and other political leaders for making this happen.
Projecting 2015 elections cautiously
THERE is this general saying that; “if wishes were horses, beggars will ride”. We have started dreaming and assuming positions on what will be the outcome of the 2015 elections but like I have always noted, we have short memories in this country.
X-raying the Jonathan years
RECENTLY, some APC stalwarts principally the party’s chairman claimed that Nigeria has deteriorated under the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan and that APC offers a better solution, but is that true ? Rather than make subjective claims, it is better to examine the facts by global verifiable standards.
Problem with Bolaji Akinyemi’s letter
THE open letter written by Professor Bolaji Akinyemi, Nigeria’s former Minister of External Affairs and Deputy Chairman, 2014 National Conference, to the two major contestants in this year’s presidential election; President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will continue to generate mixed reactions in the polity because it touched on salient points that bordered on our corporate existence as a nation.
