Mr. Tamunotonye Lily has emerged the winner of the April edition of the “Help a Smartworker” competition, organized by a political pressure group, the Princewill’s Political Associates.

Set up just specially for entrepreneurs, youths and Rivers residents who are engaged in micro business ventures and all forms of smart work in Rivers State, it is the brainchild of PPA leaders and is a mirror programme to its popular sister Organisation, the Princewills Trust the sponsors of the Help a Hardworker

True journalism has a responsibility to report the news. It abrogates its  duty if it deliberately ignores certain news because it might anger a particular party. Too often journalists omit the transgressions of a particular party because they are unable to find transgressions by the other party. If one party commits horrible transgressions, these deserve to be exposed. It is not a bias to expose such . For example, if the Republican party commits transgressions against blacks, it is the duty of

It’s not Kool-Aid This Time

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 the Trump Republican cult will not have them swallow Kool-Aid. Their fanatical leader, Trump, will have then swallow Lysol. Drink up.

THE RETURN OF THE GREY HEADS
The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head.

Crises rise and fall, coming into range fast--and disappearing just as fast. Music may change. Fashions may change. Waistlines and hair colors will change. But, the truth…that will never change. One other thing that will never change…a young person without guidance from an older person won’t make it very far in ANY society.

It has been quite interesting to have such a blessed career

While many Americans will agree that our nation has a rich, deep and interesting history, few--outside of patriots, politicians and history buffs--understand how great our history has become in under 300 years. Enter Hatherleigh Press with the book: “The Handbook For Americans: The Essential Reference For Citizens Of The United States Of America (2018, 303 pages, Hatherleigh Press).”

One of the beauties of this book is that it is in a compact form. Easy to carry, which makes it great for the stu

The Book of Chinese Proverbs

With all of the attention being paid to China these days, understanding of some of the proverbs which govern this nation could be considered a gold mine to some. Enter Gerd de Ley, one of the favorite modern authors on the subject of proverbs used around the world with his work: “The Book of Chinese Proverbs: A Collection of Timeless Wisdom, Wit, Sayings & Advice (2019, 307 pages, Hatherleigh Press).”

Trump’s racism is not limited to America, but is a menace to the world.

Traditionally, Venezuela, like most Latin American countries , have been ruled by white elites, despite the variety of races in the country. The late President  Hugo Chavez disrupted that.  He was the first Venezuelan leader to embrace his Afro-indigenous heritage, His successor Maduro also did not come from white elites, with his indigenous roots. Throughout Latin America, the US has typically sided with the white ruling cl

Reaction has trailed Governor Wike’s move to set up task force on borders which is aimed at checkmating the Covid-19 pandemic from spreading in Rivers State.

A chieftain and former All Progressives Congress Spokesman, Chris Finebone in a short statement made available to journalists with the caption “Reaction to Setting up of Task Force on Borders by Gov. Nyesom Wike”, stated that, “It will be another misstep on the part of the governor to embark on such dangerously ignorant line of action. More

Blacks in the US,  compared to whites,  have worse education, higher unemployment, lower wages and  life expectancy, inferior housing, healthcare, and so on. Besides, there has been an increase in racism led by the president of the United States of America, Donald Trump. What do these racists want? Using history as a guide, these racists probably  want some or all of the following:

• Continuation of police brutality
• Discrimination in the workplace in hiring and promotions
• Continued voter suppression

At one point, I thought Trump was just an egomaniac. However, as I have come to observe more of his actions, it has become obvious that he is also a  maniac and a megalomaniac. He is stark raving mad! There can be no other explanation. His withholding money from the World Health Organisation in the midst of such a grave COVID-19 pandemic has confirmed this diagnosis.  Is the United Nations next?

I think those close to him were aware of his condition and tried their best to shield this from the p

One of my favorite war flicks is 1949’s “Battleground”. In brief, the film deals with the fictionalized adventures of a segment of the famed 101st Airborne Division during WWII. The 101st suffered great losses and hardships holding a city by the name of Bastogne until help arrived. The film’s climax comes as the surviving members of the unit were finally relieved, and got their orders to retire from the fighting.

As they were marching out, in the distance, they could see a new outfit of fresh tr

RETURN OF--THE STAMPEDE!

…but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.
--I Samuel 30:6c

During my days as a probation officer--with a high-risk case load--I discovered one cold, cruel reality. I was responsible for my own safety. Never mind the training I had, or the backup I received from law enforcement or the kind words from my judge. I was responsible for me.

This realization takes fear--yes, fear--firmly out of the equation for daily living.

• Are you all not planning to go see Steven Spielberg magnificent new movie LINCOLN? If you are not planning to do so, it would be a colossal mistake if you miss it – it will be like not going to see Spike Lee epic movie MALCOLM X. If word on the street is anywhere near true, this movie should be loaded with numerous sublime narratives and subtle dramatizations, which should spark much illumination in all who see it, especially those whose psychic heritage today harkens back
