By Vitalis Unachukwu Can Wike , Bwala and their band of recruited , handsomely paid political mercenaries, show us why they should not undergo or be subjected to mental health and substance abuse evaluation, rehabilitation and treatment, based on the questionable degree of mental wellness and what prompted their maniacal beliefs to drum support for President Tinubu’s dismal service records, which to all intents and purposes, do not credibly support a Second Term in office as President . Knowing that the odds are against the President due to genuine lack…
Read MoreHistorical Revisionism and Nigerian Civil War: Why Blaming Ojukwu Ignores 1966
By Onoh John This stale argument of “Ojukwu started the war” is a textbook case of historical revisionism wrapped in moralizing bluster. It inverts cause and effect, ignores documented events, and then blames the victim for defending himself. Modern day revisionists keep saying Ojukwu is to blame for the civil war without plausible counter-facts. That’s intellectually lazy.

Read MoreGowon’s Heartless Attacks On Ojukwu, Ndigbo
By Ori Martins For one to fully comprehend the reall extent Gen Yakubu Gowon has reached in his brutal propaganda as well as mindless physical and structural attacks on both Gen Odumegwu Ojukwu and the entire Igbo nation, it is absolutely imperative to recast two issues about his career. The first account is this. In 1962, then Lt Col Aguiyi Ironsi’s house who was the military adviser to the Nigerian High Commission in London, was home to the then Captain Gowon who was at the Staff College in Camberley. In…

Read MoreImo APC Primaries: Whither Thy Ruling Party?
BY INNOCENT ONYEUKWU For the second time in barely one month, I return to the internal politics of the All Progressives Congress in Imo State because the party has, once again, handed political observers enough combustible material to interrogate its future. The last time, the central question was whether the primaries would merely become a ceremonial affirmation of predetermined outcomes after Governor Hope Uzodimma’s unmistakable body language at the stakeholders’ meeting held at Government House, Owerri. At that gathering, Uzodimma had clearly laid out two parameters for ticket allocation: zoning…
