NEWS, OPINIONarrest, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, fake news, Governor Hope Uzodinma, Rt. Hon. Gerald Irona

IRONA: Uzodinma Must Desist From Fake News By Collins Opurozor People need to believe the government. This is the reason government must be staffed by credible individuals, imbued with integrity, whose words are bankable. But, when a gang of sleazy characters or when some men and women of loose morals foul up an institution as sacred as government, then society itself is imperiled. Governance, in short, is not for those who in the words of the fine British poet, Rudyard Kipling, are "half devil, half child".

UZODINMA: Has Somalia become a paradise compared to Imo State? … Imolites express fear over scary possibility of regime

OPINIONDictatorship, Governor Hope Uzodinma, imo state government, Somalia

UZODINMA: Has Somalia become a paradise compared to Imo State? ...

All the things are associated to the fact that it is a failed state. And, reduced to basics, when a sovereign political entity has feeble and flawed institutions, overwhelmed by non-state actors, incapable…

Igboland is not a dot and it’s not landlocked

NEWS, OPINION#indigineousPeopleOfBiafra, 2021 Democracy Day, Aloy Ejilmakor (Esq. ), Civil War, Igbo nation, Oguta Lake, Seaport

Barr. Aloy Ejimakor (Esq.) By ALOY EJIMAKOR It’s often said that a lie told so many times, if unchallenged, may - in course of time - begin to pass for the truth.

The purpose of this essay, therefore, is to debunk this…
