For the Dubai Girls: Chioma Akpotha, Ufuoma McDermott, Uche Jombo and Omoni Oboli, this marks the third time the quartet will be visiting Dubai together. The first trip happened in 2018, and the second happened in 2019, where they faced off successfully against the Choplife Gang. The Girls have asked their fans and lovers of Dubai to join them on this trip which ta

Dubai Tourism joined by 33 partners across hospitality, medical, entertainment sectors to interact with key trade partners in Nigeria. Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (Dubai Tourism) will be kicking off its annual road show across key cities in Nigeria. This road show further increases DET’s promotional efforts in showcasing Dubai’s ever-evolving tourism proposition to African tourists.

Experiencing strong growth in tourism numbers from Africa, Dubai Tourism is looking to sustain its mo

     Sometimes, it pays to go back and study our own personal history and remember how certain events or people helped to shape our lives.  David W. Daniels takes a fond look back to his formative Christian years in the work “51 Reasons Why The King James: A Path From Doubt To Faith” (2018, 215 pages, Chick Publications).

     With the KJV Bible (also known as the Authorized Version of 1611) having been around for more than 400 years, Daniels pens a work based upon many successful podcasts

The just-concluded PDP presidential primaries, which ought to be a trending story in the media seem to have been eclipsed by a more worrisome development that happens to be the conspiratorial plot to draft former President Goodluck Jonathan into the race to succeed President Buhari under the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, which had hitherto sacked Jonathan from Aso Rock, in 2015.

The former President had held sway for six years, having completed the remaini

The dramatic end to Gov. Nyesom Wike’s presidential quest has been described by the Rivers State Chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, as prayer answered for the teeming workers, pensioners and the downtrodden in Rivers State.

Speaking to pressmen shortly after the governor lost his bid to get the Presidential ticket of his Party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, at the Party’s Presidential primary election held last Saturday at Abuja, the State Publicity Secretary of APC, Chris Finebone,

Lebanon, Sri Lanka, Haiti are just three countries that are experiencing dire financial disaster. Even Puerto Rico, part of the mighty United States of America, the richest country in the world, has been battling bankruptcy. I am sick and tired of seeing on TV desperately poor people in countries all over the world. People, mostly black, without enough food, in rags, with shacks for shelter, with many defying nature to remain alive. But, many die too and by horrible death. These pictures haunt m

Republicans play dirty political games, often at the cost of citizens. Maryland Republican governor, Larry Hogan is playing dirty political games against Baltimore mayor Brandon Scott by criticizing Scott’s plan to reduce crime. Reducing crime is a very difficult, almost impossible undertaking. Multiple crime plans have been tried all over America and every single one has failed. If even one had succeeded, everyone would have adopted it and there would be no need for other plans. For such a diff

      Every few years, a solid, well-written business book emerges from the shadows to ‘stand out’ and become a ‘must have’ guide.  A work that will help not only the career seeker, but the job recruiter.  Such ‘two-in-one’ books are rare.  However, once you have one in your hands, it becomes a welcome addition to your ‘business arsenal’ for many years.

      “The Unspoken Rules”, by Gorick Ng is quickly becoming one of those ‘two-in-one’ resources that will find a home in a backpack or on a boo

Delusion is defined as the act of tricking or deceiving someone Unfortunately, the teenage Buffalo killer was himself a victim. He was a victim of delusion about “white replacement” probably by Tucker Carlson of Fox News as he is one of its most visible proponent. His young life is ruined. He now faces a life in prison and probably in solitary confinement for his own protection.

I wonder if Carlson is proud of his disciple’s terrorism. I wonder how many more deluded kids like this one will  kill

The political arena has witnessed a massive boost with key presidential aspirants of the two major parties leading their teams to different states of the country in a bid to get endorsement by revered Traditional Rulers, Governors, political leaders and delegates for the primary elections expected at the end of May, 2023.

While there are assurances in some quarters, on the other hand, there are no definite commitments as delegates prefer to either wait on the promptings of the party leadership or

…..Provides Free Training for 100 Travel Agents

Representatives of the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) are currently in Uganda. During the visit, DET is training 100 Ugandan travel agents, will meet with top agents in the travel industry and partake in the 23rd TUGATA AGM.

Training sessions for travel agents held on the 25th of April 2022 in Kampala, Uganda and had 100 shortlisted agents trained on boosting their business and the benefits of Dubai travel.

Since the airwaves began to be bombarded with top politicians in Nigeria, making their intentions to run for the highest office, I have watched with keen interest and tried to study the various speeches which in some cases received accolades and in other times were ignored by most Nigerians. The latter group has cogent reasons to do so, considering how many times we have read long speeches in the end and dashed the hopes of expectant masses.

While not trying to diminish any of the Presidential a

Little by little, the haze on the political landscape is clearing and thawing. The race for the apex and most coveted political office in Nigeria, the largest democracy in Africa, is gathering momentum. With regards to the primary contest within the fold of the All Progressives Congress, APC, the emerging picture of what to expect has now gone beyond the domain of speculation.

It is by now, crystal clear that the APC, as the ruling party, is leaving nothing to chance in its efforts to secure anot

The Chairman, Council of Elders of Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo Worldwide, Chief Richard Ozobo has reiterated the need for the Igbos to produce the next President  in 2023 and not the division of Ndi Igbo,  stressing that no tribe in Nigeria can win the Presidency without alliances.

Chief Ozobo who expressed his view in an interview, went down memory lane and maintained that there are 7 Igbo states recognized by Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide.

Frowning at the propaganda being spewed in some section that there are

A pan Igbo group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide has described the former Governor of Rivers State and current Minister of Transport Rt. Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi as a bona fide Igbo man, and such more of an Igbo man than a Lagos based All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain, Joe Igbokwe

The group who warned against the disparagement of Igbo political leaders, said campaigns of calumny, casting of aspersions will be unsuccessful, added that,“Verbal diarrhoea and vituperative predispositions of Jo

Who is Joe Igbokwe to determine who is Igbo and who is not?

Does he know that Amaechi's people lost their ownership of property in the same Port Harcourt because of the war?

Does he know that one of Amaechi's kinsmen, Late Jackson Mpi was Chairman of Eastern Nigeria Council of Chiefs?

Is he also aware that Amaechi's people were denied access to Government House in Rivers State for over 35 years simply because they were "tagged not to be trusted with power as Igbos"?

Does he also know that the frustr

There is not much doubt that refugees are unwelcome in the US. Black and brown refugees are the least welcome. Donald Trump owes lots of his popularity to his manifest hatred of refugees from what he describes as “shithole countries”. The media gives us the impression that the majority of these refugees are trying to get into the US, the UK, France and other European countries.  Well the fact is none of these countries (except Germany) are in the top ten of hosting refugees. The ten host countri

Will Smith committed a crime.  He assaulted Chris Rock. There were tons of witnesses. He should be put in jail and should not depend on Chris Rock pressing charges. If I, or anyone else like me, had done that, I would be jailed. But, Will Smith is rich and famous, so, even though he is black, he is above certain laws. Also, this adds to black-on-black crime which is terrorizing so many blacks here in America. By not arresting him, the police failed to do their job.

This is a very grave incident a

It's been the system of governance in our nation where for every government, a cabal runs its affairs.

My experience over the years and based on verified information reveals the stranglehold on elected Government officials by those who either sponsored their election or those who were appointed into high profile positions. They are usually family members and familiar friends.

These groups of people decide what document the President or the Governor sees and approves. They unashamedly flaunt th

Ahead of the forthcoming governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress and the 2023 general election in the country, a leading aspirant of the party in Rivers State, Prince Tonye T.J.T Princewill, has begun his consultations with party stalwarts and leaders on the prospects of his intention to vie for governorship ticket of the party.

The son of the monarch of the Kalabari kingdom met with the Local Government Leaders of both Port Harcourt and Obio Akpor Local Government Areas and other p
