He was slain with his legion for standing up to the king’s order to hunt down Christians in the region. For his valor and faith, St. Maurice was martyred in the Cathedral of the German city of Magdeburg with his name inscribed on the sculpture. He was born in Thebes, Egypt, in 250 CE where he had his early upbringing, and later became a Roman General in the Theban legion, according to art way. The image of St. Maurice is depicted as a Black man in his war accouterments flanked by his spear in his right hand. Cultural anthropologists argue…

If we Christians keep insisting on this fallacy called One-man/One-wife, too many ladies will end up sleeping with different married men secretly while trying to make money and waiting for their own husband. Too many ladies will remain in their parents house till their 30s and some will live alone till their 40s. Most women who lose their husbands in their 40s and 50s will never find another man to marry them legitimately, they will end up sleeping around with different men. GET IT RIGHT:Men and women are not equal and God never made us to be equal. Lets stop…

Hon Uche Onyeagocha is the Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for Owerri Zone, otherwise known as Imo East Senatorial District of Nigeria, in the 2023 general election. Recently, Onyeagocha, as usual, was in the news. But this time for his “Covenant” with his beloved Owerri People. Since he won his most contentious PDP primary, a victory which has gladdened the heart of many, he has not “Presented” himself to the people before the election proper. Therefore, on Thursday October 6, 2022, Onyeagocha “Stepped out” to the full embrace of Owerri people, as he publicly told the constituents in-waiting…

“The judges have done their jobs and I am satisfied. Of course, I wished that the main suspects would be here before the judges.

Nigeria and Africa’s most revered literary icon, Chinua Achebe, had in 2011 for the second time (the first being in 2004 under the regime of Olusegun Obasanjo) flatly refused to accept a Nigerian national honor the then regime of Goodluck Jonathan had tried to bestow on him on grounds that receiving such would amount to endorsing Corruption and the monumental mismanagement of Nigeria under those earlier regimes. In Achebe’s rejection letter, the late sage had stated: ” Forty-three years ago, at the first anniversary of Nigeria’s independence I was given the first Nigerian National Trophy for Literature. In 1979, I…

We were once told not to approach a wellhead in Niger Delta. The reason was simple.There was an ongoing ‘operation’. I was working with an oil service company, we had already gone back to accommodation after working on the well. But a call from base necessitated we get to the wellhead again the same night. We waited to have a feedback confirmation on when to approach.Worthy of note is that we move with armed military and mobile police. It took 4 hours. Then we saw the convoy, a streak of rickety tankers, and a Hilux.They were heading out with crude.The…

The task before the incoming President of Nigeria is twofold: providing astute leadership and resetting the nation’s unworkable structure. In order words, the core challenges confronting Nigeria today are reducible to just two factors: parochial leadership, and dysfunctional structure. Both have left the country as a mere geographical expression. And as a former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo recently asserted, Nigeria is still a country and not yet a nation. Obasanjo is in a privileged position to know. Since everything rises and falls on leadership, it will be right to assume that the structural crisis being faced by Nigeria was caused…

U.S. foreign policy has prompted scenes of woe and horror worldwide and seriously jeopardized global peace and stability. From the end of World War II to 2001, the United States has initiated 201 armed conflicts in 153 locations, accounting for more than 80 percent of the total wars that occurred across the world in that time. Outright military aggression is not the only tool of U.S. control. It has also resorted to economic seduction, financial sanctions, cultural infiltration, incitements to riot, election manipulation and other ruses to covertly subvert so-called “ideologically hostile countries.” The consequences have extended beyond the human…

We have been innundated with the word North – Northern Elders, Arewa Consultative Forum, Northern Governors Forum, etc. But really we are asking , “who are these Northerners?” Let us borrow a bit from History. When Obasanjo as President gave Non-Fulanis sensitive positions in his regime, the Sultan of Sokoto went with some Fulani irredentists like Ango Abdullahi , and confronted him, and made allegations that the North was being marginalized. Baffled , Obasanjo querried them, “Are Non-Fulanis in the North , not Northerners?” The sultan said, “NO, they are not.” Obasanjo nodded his head to learn what he probably…

A constant debate between scientists and historians Historians and scholars from different eras have always debated about which year has been the worst for humankind and most of them point their fingers at AD 536, not only due to the massive number of deaths but also because of the many events that took place which led to a scaringly high death count and terrible living conditions for most humans. In this article, we will be looking at some of the factors that make this the worst year and why other historians, as well as scientists, beg to differ. It is imperative to…

Freemasonry is a fraternal organization of which members have included George Washington, Harry S. Truman and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Worldwide membership in the society totals over 3 million members, of which 1.1 million are in North America. But where did Freemasonry come from? Modern Freemasonry, as it is known today, is often considered to have begun in 1717, the year that four lodges in England formed the Grand Lodge of England. Originally emanating from British trade guilds of old, by the 1700’s Freemasonry had evolved into an organization that favored religious tolerance over the strict dictates of the Catholic Church.…

Europe’s royal houses have shared close family ties for centuries. The British royals have more German roots than you might think. About 300 years ago, on August 1, 1714 — the English Queen Anne died. As a result, the German Elector George Louis of Hanover was proclaimed king of Great Britain in absentia. He was the only possible heir to the throne and the first German to ascend an English throne. Manners please. At the beginning, his British subjects were not amused. The German king did not set foot on English soil until two months after his proclamation and was…

Although a lot of literature has been produced highlighting the strengths and benefits of religion, many have associated the following problems with religion: conflict with science, curtailing freedoms, delusion, claims of having the exclusive truth, fear of punishment, feeling guilt, immutability, instilling fear, internal conflicts, irrationality, justification of violence, limitation on the rights of women, outdatedness, perpetuation of division, persecution, prejudice, rebuffing of broader perspective, social constructs, strange customs, strained relationships for partners of different faiths, the structure, the suppression of curiosity, its use as a tool for control, unsophisticatedness, etc. Some complain that religion is used as a reward…

In 2010, sociologist Phil Zuckerman published Society Without God: What the Least Religious Nations Can Tell Us About Contentment. Zuckerman lined up evidence that the least religious societies also tend to be the most peaceful, prosperous and equitable, with public policies that help people to flourish while decreasing both desperation and economic gluttony. We can debate whether prosperity and peace lead people to be less religious or vice versa. Indeed evidence supports the view that religion thrives on existential anxiety. But even if this is the case, there’s good reason to suspect that the connection between religion and malfunctioning societies…

Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? No religious bigotry, no “righteous” judgement, no cruelty “in the name of God,” no holy wars, no honor killings, and no shame in just being yourself. Truly, the world would be a better place without religion, wouldn’t it? Well, let’s try it out. Let’s imagine what the world would be like without religion. There is, however, one small catch: if we are to do away with religion, we must, out of fairness, erase all of the good which it has inspired. After all, religion itself is not in the à la carte business. Religion doesn’t…

British empire crimes in Africa, British empire crimes in India, British crimes in Ireland, British crimes in Australia, British empire crimes in Kenya When the news broke that the queen of England was ill, Ms. Uju Anya, a lovely anti-racist African living in the USA, responded to the news via Twitter, saying: “I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating.” That’s indeed a perfect wish if we must deal with Britain the same way they dealt with our ancestors. In 1891, in Kenya, the British buried an African king…

Firstly, when CIA recruits candidates for work as undercover, overseas operatives, they are seeking out individuals who, for the most part, ALREADY possess the mental traits required of a successful spy. More specifically, the recruit must demonstrate that he is supremely self-confident, observant, inquisitive, analytical, morally flexible, cool under pressure, comfortable working alone and, perhaps, a little bit paranoid. This is determined through multiple interviews, specialized verbal, written and other psychological testing, conversations with many of the recruit’s friends, relatives, teachers, former supervisors, co-workers, etc. (as part of the deep background search that is required), handwriting analysis, polygraph exams and…

FLASHBACK PERSPECTIVE A Case of Self-Evident Truth The late American civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously reminded all of us that ‘injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere’. Dr King’s admonition is instructive particularly for those who under the cover of darkness or in the seclusion of their homes or offices, when no one is looking, perpetrate the most insidious and heinous of crimes on the very citizens they are supposed to protect. The April 14, 2007 Imo Gubernatorial election is a case in point. By abbreviating the election and hoisting in its stead a predetermined…

Kathy and Ross Petras We all have that little voice in our heads that weighs in on everything we do or say. If we let it, it can make us feel demoralized, belittled or just less capable. The end result is that we wind up not accomplishing what we want.

Here are 11 negative phrases to ditch if you want to think more positively and feel more confident, according to behavioral scientists,…

German writer Esther Villar In her book “The Manipulated Man” that caused outrage and hostile criticism from women explains how women since the earliest times have manipulated men and turned them into their slaves, having pretended to be the oppressed sex, while in the real sense, they are the oppressors. She explains how a woman manipulates a man skillfully by steps like courtship and finally marriage, hence the saying “a man chases a woman until SHE catches him”. In her book she explains how the man is tricked to care for the woman all his life and her offspring. He…

“The meeting of minds between Sir Lugard and the leaders of the Sokoto Islamic Caliphate was not surprising for, in practice, there were no emotional or philosophical differences between imperialism which Lugard championed and the feudalism in Northern Nigeria before British colonial rule.” – An unpublished work Britain operates a parliamentary democracy which is subordinated to a constitutional monarchy. That was why the last official function discharged by the queen was to invite Liz Truss – the new leader of the Conservative Party – to form a government.

The vox-pop: Should Africans hold the late Queen Elizabeth responsible for the evils of colonialism, neocolonialism and apartheid? What’s your view on the tweet by Prof. Uju Anya of the Carnegie-Mellon University? The death on Thursday of United Kingdom’s longest reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, has given a new impetus to the quest by Nigerian historians and enthusiasts to take a long journey down the memory lane. The social media is awash with what many perceive was the late Queen’s uncomplimentary role in the three-year civil war between the federal side and Biafra, the then Eastern Nigeria predominantly occupied by…

I have always said it that the core of the Igbo political class are not fit to represent the region in National politics. Most of them were mostly hungry and struggling before they joined politics. Very few who had something meaningful doing were barely well educated before joining politics. All these factors impacted heavily on their knowledge of what regional representation is all about. It’s all about what they can get for themselves: the first category see politics as an escape from poverty while the second group think it’s an extension of their business life Contrasting it with their counterparts…

Friday Sep 16, 2022 King Charles III is being urged to step down and let his son Prince William take the throne within two years. The new monarch, who ascended the throne at the age of 73 last week, has been warned by the royal commentators that His Majesty should gear up for a short reign. Commentator Conor Friedersdorf said: “A more consequential use of Charles’s reign would be to rule briefly and abdicate at 75 – the age when British judges are compelled to retire from the bench – while touting the importance of passing the throne to Prince…

Fellow Nigerians, you commit an unforgivable sin in the eyes of God, and a crime in the eyes of man and your generations unborn, when you take money and vote to keep yourselves, your children and your generations unborn in perpetual slavery and servitude.

Nothing could be more sensible, righteous and democratic than to refuse your vote to be bought or you take the money and then vote for your liberation.

Arab slavery had already begun in Africa more than 700 years before the European transatlantic slave trade. The slave trade began when the Arabs invaded North Africa for the first time in the 7th century AD. The first Arab entry into Africa was through Egypt. An Arab military general named General Amir Aben Alas invaded Egypt in December 639 AD. Amir had successfully conquered Egypt and went ahead and conquered other places such as Tunisia and western Libya. Once these areas had been completely conquered by the Arabs, they imposed tributes of 360 slaves in all regions they occupied and…

The Russian president discussed key foreign policy issues with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping. Current attempts to push for a unipolar world “have taken an absolutely ugly form lately, which the overwhelming majority of nations of the planet find unacceptable,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday. The remark came as he met his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Russia and China “stand together for a just, democratic, multipolar world order based on international law and the central role of the UN, and not on some…

Nigeria practices presidentialism, and in a presidential democracy, the nation rests on the shoulders of one man. Health is therefore of major concern in determining the electability of a candidate. This gives no room for arguments. All public offices, the office of the president inclusive, demand occupiers who are sound both in body and in mind. This is necessary so that efficiency and proficiency will be brought to bear in the discharge of responsibilities of the office. Nigeria is one county where the unthinkable happens all the time; a nation where many citizens for primordial reasons sleepwalk into quagmires and…

LAGOS, Sept 9 (Reuters) Nigeria’s crude oil production fell below 1 million barrels per day (bpd) in August, figures from its regulator show, as the nation grappled with rampant theft from its pipelines and years of underinvestment. The decline is a further threat to strained finances in Africa’s most populous nation and cuts global oil supply amid soaring energy costs due to the war in Ukraine. Nigeria’s total oil and condensates output dropped to an annual low of 1.18 million bpd in August, data from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission showed.

Holders of the peoples mandate must subject themselves to criticism, constructive or otherwise, because you have placed yourselves accountable for the welfare and wellbeing of many. The nigerian democratic system is based on the party system of government. It is a government by criticism and exposition and therefore, it has to be governed by three players – a party in power, independent critics and a party or parties in Opposition. The major role of an opposition party is that it helps to check the activities of the party in power with a view to pointing out where they are retrogressing…

The then Labour government secretly provided large quantities of arms to the Nigerian federal government which, by early 1970, had crushed an attempt by the country’s eastern region of Biafra to gain independence, which it had declared in May 1967. During the three years of war, up to three million people died, as Nigeria enforced a blockade on Biafra, causing widespread starvation amid considerable international opposition to the conflict. British policy was mainly shaped by its oil interests, declassified government documents from the time show. “Our direct interests are trade and investment, including an important stake by Shell/BP in the…

Like a prude confronted with sexually explicit images, the world didn’t hide its shock at Nigerian-born American professor, Uju Anya’s negative comments last week on the late British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. The world had waited with bated breath at manifest indications that Elizabeth’s last hours had come. Amid this apprehension, the associate professor of Applied Linguistics, Critical Sociolinguistics and Critical Discourse at Carnegie Mellon University launched her salvo. It came in the form of a tweet that brimmed with bile and hate. She had tweeted: “I heard the chief monarch of a thieving, raping genocidal empire is finally dying.…

Atiku has never been loyal to any PDP past president, he wasn’t loyal to Obasanjo, Yaradua or Goodluck Jonathan. He betrayed them by decamping just to fight against them.

He wouldn’t have supported wike. This is a man who told Goodluck Jonathan to step down, that is the turn of the north to rule in 2015, he didn’t even stop there, he…

Everybody is hung up on domestic abuse by men against women. Nobody spares a moment to find solutions to the equally devastating verbal abuse men suffer in the hands of their wives. It is worse because men can’t discuss what their wives do to them for fear of scorn and derision. They suffer in silence. Unfortunately, the Nigerian society has little or no support systems for this kind of situation. Little or no counselling services. It’s been mostly left to the church to deal with. What happens when the man doesn’t go to church? What happens when the woman doesn’t…

“Two sovereign wills cannot exist side by side within the same space, sooner or later they will collide.” A. W. Tozer (1897-1963) I see a collision coming. I see a day coming when the slaves and the slave masters will see eye to eye. I see a day coming when the servants will look at their lords with defiance, dishonor and reproach and without suffering any consequences. The spirit and yearnings of a people cannot be silenced forever; sooner or later they will burst forth. The natural course or channel of a river cannot be blocked, it will cut out…

It is a good thing to be proud of one’s country, and I am – most of the time. But it would be impossible to scan the centuries of Britain’s history without coming across a few incidents that evoke not pride but shame. Among those I would list are the creation by British officialdom in South Africa of the concentration camp, to persecute the families of Boers. Add to that the Amritsar massacre of 1919 and the Hola camps set up and run during the struggle against Mau Mau. The northern and western regions of Nigeria were swept by a…

Frankly speaking, one of the major constraints to progressive and effective leadership in Nigeria today is the presence of self-serving and opportunistic leaders.Leadership in all intents and purposes is concerned with fostering change while the centrality of political governance is service oriented. According to Brad Szollose “politics is a progenitor while leadership is a product which is socioculturally contextual” The dark reality of the moment is that Owerri zone has been pigeon-holed on the structural pattern of peacock politics especially on the bases of representation at the Senate. Owerri zone has been akin to the proverbial tale of the Tortoise…

Have you ever wondered why the black continent only knows despots who squander without qualms the public funds that they then deposit in the West? Do you know why African nationalists (Lumumba, Sankara, Edouardo Mondlane or Amilcar Cabral) were assassinated? Do you know why the peoples of Africa…

We always knew it was a matter of time before he was used and dumped by his Northern coalition partners. But Tinubu was so blinded by ambition, he could not even see his nose in the mirror.

Leadership is a trust and a burden. It is a trust because it is entrusted to people whom moral rectitude is not in dispute. When you become a leader, you are like a trusted servant. Though this is in an ideal situation; not in a pseudo democratic setting, especially when democracy takes the character of the rule of the mob. Is it not even basically a rule of the mob? Well, this is debatable. However, in an ideal clime, a leader of a people is their servant. A good leader is not the one that ensconces himself in his comfort…
