Re: “WE ARE APC MEMBERS, WE ARE OBEDIENT TO APC NOT OBEDIENT TO ANY INDIVIDUAL OR ANY OTHER POLITICAL PARTY”

Ndi Imo have a peculiarly sickening political culture. We play politics with the mouth rather than with the head; Politics being the only thriving mainstay of the state, citizens are all learning the art of the blessing-turned-curse. To survive, everybody (priests, politicians, sycophants, professionals, security agents, everybody) now play the game which -fortunately or unfortunately- […]

Of patriotism and sycophancy:

Supporting your governor and urging him on even when it is beyond argument that he is progressing in error is not patriotism. It is nothing short of mindless sycophancy. In a nutshell, patriotism simply means loyalty to your country as a whole, not your Governor as an individual. The Governor of your state deserves your […]

THE LONG AWAITED NIGERIAN POLITICAL REVOLUTION HAS BEGUN

It is not aimed at a violent change of government like what we have recently seen in the neighbouring African countries but, it will be earthshaking.

RE: PETER OBI, SOUTH EAST & 2023 – KEEPING IT HONEST, OBJECTIVE AND REALISTIC BY Dr Uche Diala.

The importance of Dr Uche Diala’s post lies in the need for critical thinking, analysis and strategy.

Jostling for the unattractive. By Mahmud Jega

I thought by now the Nigerian Presidency will be so unattractive that people will have to be begged to come and take it. Why should anyone be eager to inherit Boko Haram, terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, secessionists, communal warriors, oil thieves, sea pirates, depreciated naira, depleted foreign reserves, high debt service ratio, plummeting oil production, astronomical […]

Is Jonathan a Beautiful Bride? By Ray Ekpu

The crowd that is chanting Run, Jonathan, Run is a composite contingent made up of greedy and hungry fellows, rented fellows, political flunkeys of the basest type and those who think that Nigeria may be ready for any kind of political tomfoolery at this time.
