George Washington was the father of our country. He confessed to chopping down the cherry tree because he could not tell a lie. But if he had opposed slavery while it was flourishing, he would have been thrown out of office  on his ear.  He was trapped in the evil slavery.

For over sixty two years, the mighty United States of America has imposed devastating embargo on the poor little island of Cuba. Year after year, the UN General assembly have voted overwhelmingly against this US embargo. The la

Recently I watched Frontline production of “Poor Kids” on PBS TV. Actually, I did not watch the entire show. The plight of poor kids in America, the richest country in the world, was too depressing. It was a disgrace. I had to turn it off.

It made me think of how the Build Back Better bill would help poor kids. Conditions require that this bill deserves unanimous support. The time is overdue for the rich billionaires to step up and help the poor by visibly and vocally supporting this bill. These

Donald Trump captured the white vote primarily by embracing racism. However, this racism is nothing but a red herring to distract his followers from the fact that Republicans have nothing to offer the American people, with the exception of tax breaks for the billionaires. As I have asked before, “Will racism put food on the table?”  Will racism help to pay your outrageous hospital bill? The sad fact is that the Republicans reward their white support with exploitation.

When is the last time Republ

As a black person, I am shocked when white persons that I considered friends proclaim that they are proud followers of the blatant racist, Donald Trump. As a matter of fact, I am convinced that the overwhelming majority of Trump supporters do so precisely because he is racist.
As a black person, I am shocked when a white person that I respect for their integrity, proclaim that they are proud supporters of such a barefaced liar as Donald Trump.  According to the Washington Post, in his four years

... Federal Government, Oil Coys owe NDDC over N4 trillion

The Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, has pledged to settle all verified outstanding claims by it contractors in its efforts to facilitate sustainable development of the oil-rich region.

A source close to the Interim Administrator of the Commission who spoke on condition of anonymity said the NDDC boss was saddened that contractors who had done their jobs were still being owed many years after completion.

He said that the NDDC boss

It is clearly evident that the Republican Congresspersons and Senators have one sinister purpose. Their aim is to sabotage every meaningful bill that Biden proposes. Look at the record. Look at the infrastructure bill. Look at the Build Back Better bill. Virtually every single Republican has opposed or can be counted to oppose. These bills are the best bills since Social Security and Medicare.  Of course, as per usual, the Republicans hide behind some pretext, but their real aim is to cripple th

Winners of the Princewill’s Trust Vision and Success Opportunity Challenge have departed for Dubai, for a 6 day all expenses paid trip.

My attention has been drawn to sponsored write ups in the media, claiming that I passed the buck on my responsibility for the constitution of the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission NDDC.

The write ups deliberately published while I am outside the country on national duty, reportedly quoted my media aide, Jackson Udom, claiming that I have denied responsibility for the constitution of the board of the Commission. I have checked with Mr Udom, and he has clearly said he was misquoted.

“Did you know that the number of registered lobbyists in Washington has more than doubled since 2000 to 2005 to  more than 34,750 while the amount that lobbyists charge their new clients has increased by as much as 100 percent? Only a few other businesses have enjoyed greater prosperity in an otherwise fitful economy starting at $300,000 per year. Some 12,467 lobbyists registered with the federal government in the first half of 2009. Under
