Announcing the commencement of the exercise in well attended enlarged Leadership meeting comprising the PPA management committee and other prominent stakeholders which held on Monday 11 January 2021, the National Chairma

One of the most infamous cult leaders was Jim Jones. The faithful loyal followers of his cult would do anything he said. They were so loyal that he could shoot an individual on a widely trafficked New York City street and not "lose one follower". Such is the nature of a cult.

However, this time Trump did not order his Republican cult members to swallow Kool Aid. Instead, he incited them to attack the US Capitol. They obediently did, but many now face arrest for this seditious act. So far, the fa

Senator Akpabio and NDDC Scavengers

A few days ago, some youth groups in the Niger Delta region aired what they termed their resentment in the appointment of Mr Effiong Okon Akwa as Sole Administrator of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) by President Muhammadu Buhari. One of the groups, Uhrobo Youth Leaders Council (UYLC) was said to have dragged the Honourable Minister for Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio before a Federal High Court

As my first blog post of 2021, or as I refer to it as 2020, the Sequel, I chose to borrow words that will spark change. The Faux Coup attempt by the Orange Megalomaniac, carried out by "Vanilla Isis & Y’All Qaeda" was ABSOLUTELY foreseeable. Not only was it predictable it was ALLOWED. We witnessed police and politicians actively participating in the invasion of The Capitol.

We've seen what they are going to do. More attempts to bring down Olympus are sure to follow. There is no sigh of relief t

….as Amiczy gets ₦100,000 for her extraordinary hard work

Alokee Jimmy Jr, a fish farmer has been congratulated and rewarded with the sum of ₦100,000 as the official winner of the 2020 December edition of “Help A Hardworker Contest”, which is the Princewill’s Trust initiative for entrepreneurs, youths and Rivers State residents engaged in micro business ventures and all forms of hard work.

A statement made available to journalists Monday 4th January, 2021 from the Princewill’s Trust said, “The Pri

     First, let me thank the publications, publishers, editors and—most importantly—the readers of “The Manhood Line” over these many years.  It has been a joy to put this column out (the flagship column for Barnstorm Communications International, by the way).  God has blessed this column to go from my home city of Indianapolis, Indiana around the world and back.  It has visited a variety of HBCUs and other college campuses. It has hit Tokyo, Japan.  It sipped tea in Rome, Italy.  It made its s

I know white racists hate blacks. They hate me because I am black. But, I don’t hate them. To do that would spread hate and I sure would not want to do that. Such a response to hate with hate would be retaliation and I do not believe in retaliation. Retaliation is one of the curses of our present culture of which I write in three of  my books, “Boycott Money And Save Your Soul – Launching the Goodwill Revolution”, “Leave The Rat Race To The Rats” and “A Jamaica Poor No More”.  In the Goodwill Re

Niger Delta people will, for a long time, remain wholeheartedly grateful to President Muhammadu Buhari, for the immense goodwill he has shown to the good people of the Oil rich but beleaguered region, through the various projects and programmes aimed at the total development and emancipation of the Niger Delta region. We must acknowledge the concerted effort towards the completion of the East-West highway, the reintroduction of the Petroleum industry Bill (P.I.B) to the National Assembly, the co

A political pressure group that goes by the name “TeamCole” has called for the immediate resolution of Crisis in Rivers State APC.

The group in a statement signed by Rex David, DG/Coordinator TeamCole, said its  it is with a joyous spirit that we thank God for keeping us alive, through this difficult year. From covid-19 to the EndSARS protest, we join Nigerians in solidarity as we recogni

Victor Okame a beneficiary of the Presidential Amnesty, has expressed dismay over how the beneficiaries are being treated amongst other issues raised by him in statement titled and sub-titled “Gen. Monguno’s Private Experiment” and “The thoughts of a law-abiding Amnesty Beneficiary”    

According to him, “The emergence of Col. Miland Dikio gave us great expectations. We believed something fresh was coming our way. Little did we know that we might be joining another round of politics 101?”

     One of my favorite illustrations of the divorce issue rests in the plight of an elected official years ago.  This lawmaker was a ‘tough guy’ on the issue of child support.  He bucked and stomped in our Indiana Statehouse, calling for toughened penalties against those men and women who were involved with the system.  When non-custodial parents would come to the statehouse to express their views on the unfairness of the laws that lawmakers created, he objected the loudest.

“God’s children run home when the storm comes on.”

--Charles Haddon Spurgeon

     Here is an absolute of life:  God allows rain to fall on the just and the unjust (Matthew 5:45 KJV).  To be a card-carrying member of the human race means that bad times and bad things are going to happen to each of us, simply because of the fallen condition of man.  The difference between the Christian and the unbeliever?  The Christian has God to lean upon.  The unbeliever—no matter how talented or resourceful--do

To quote from my recent book, A Jamaica Poor No More:

“We have been conditioned to look upon the rich powerful countries as models. Why should these rich powerful countries be the model for the world with their history of slavery, colonialism, imperialism, hundreds of thousands of innocent people killed by their wars, their slaughter and dispossession of  indigenous people all over the world. In God’s name, why?

Forget them. Let us be different. In the words of Afro-American author Alice Walker,

     Before we get into the last part of this series, I wanted to inject a few things which surfaced before I made the decision of putting this column to bed and shipping it out.

     I happened to have a conversation with a veteran Minister whom I have a lot of respect.  His attitude towards Ministers and regular Christians being involved in politics?  Not very supportive.  He believes that Christians in general, and Ministers (Pastors included) should stay out of the political arena.  Yes, we s
