Speaking at the inauguration of the budget screening and monitoring committee by the Chairman and co chairman of the central working committee at the Hotel Presidenti

FORGETTING THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEHIND

     One of the sinister, hidden dangers of social media is the seeming avalanche of reminders of our past failures: failed relationships; failed marriages, failed business ventures and other such items that belong buried in a grave marked ‘forgotten’. 

     One cannot make true forward progress IF one continues to wallow in their past.

     Social media may have been ‘only’ designed for young people (they are the most impressionable and highest users) but s

COACH PRIME: THAT SPIRITUAL SPARK!

      I wanted to put in my .02 on the continuing adventures—and critics—of Coach Prime.  I will be doing so, though, from a historical viewpoint that many have overlooked—and I will be more than happy to lay out.

      I find it highly amazing—but not shocking—that Coach Prime (aka Deion Sanders for those who have been hiding under a rock during his twin careers in football and baseball) has been named the Head Coach of the Colorado Buffaloes.  I also am NOT sh

The Ijaw National Congress, INC has described the late King and former member of the Council of Ijaw Traditional Rulers and Elders - CITRE as a RARE GEM and an inspiration to countless many.

President of INC Worldwide, Prof. Benjamin Ogale Okaba, who was represented by the Chairman of Eastern Zone of INC, His Royal Majesty, King NLA Iraron, Ede Obolo II, who were the latest in a series of groups to pay condolences, led the five-man delegation on the cond

Hamas brutally killed thirteen hundred innocent Israelis. Israel’s obvious revenge is to kill as many thousands of innocent Palestinians by bombing, shooting, deprivation of electricity, food, water, medicines and any other fatal means. The UN agrees that these are war crimes. For this killing of thousands of innocent Palestinians, there has been an eerie silence from the US and the mighty European nations. The silence is deafening.  This silence gives the green light to Israel to continue killi

TO THE BITTER END

      In the movie Rocky IV, the beginning of the final round of the fight, Russian boxer Ivan Drago—having learned respect for Rocky Balboa throughout the match—told Rocky: “To the bitter end.”  Remember this line when you see the ground operations begin in the Gaza Strip as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) begin their physical push into that area to deal with Hamas once and for all.  With the carnage caused by Hamas—along with their supporting enablers and money bag men—they h

Hamas has committed some heinous crimes on Israel.  They have killed over thirteen hundred innocent men, women and children.  Israel is in the process of taking revenge. . This is understandable but revenge is one of the worst reactions in our society. Hamas deliberately  killed almost thirteen hundred innocent Israelis and Israel’s revenge will be to deliberately kill thousands of innocent Palestinians. Killing innocent people is never justified!  Justice is not served by killing innocent peopl

WHERE THEY GONNA GO—NOW?

      Interesting fact that has escaped ‘lifelong, hard-core’ Democrats during our recent social upheavals in Democrat-run cities: “Where are your children and grandchildren going to go in order to get their first job?”  Please allow me to take a brief trip down memory lane to outline what jobs have either disappeared for teens, or—thanks to Black AND White liberals—have gone the way of manual typewriters.

Except for the victims of war, I do  believe the majority of people do not realize how devastating war really is. War kills thousands of people, destroys homes, hospitals, schools, workplaces, cinemas, bridges, roads,  hopes, futures and aspirations. Even here in invincible America, war would create havoc and there would be no defense against that. Everyone here is confident that if there was a war between the US and Russia or China the US would win. That is folly. There would be no winners, All

SMIs—THE NEW FOOLS

      In case you may have tuned in late, there is a new breed (or, maybe not so new breed) of fool that is sweeping social media.  No, I’m not referring to those who get their kicks from following what is posted along the funky electronic frontier.  Whom I am pointing at in my writings for the month are the new fools—otherwise known as ‘Social Media Influencers’.

      Sadly, Social Media Influencers (SMIs) think it cool to act a fool—and are shocked that they are paying such

Rotary Club Eco Rivers State says it is seeking collaborative efforts to fight environmental challenges in Rivers state and the Niger Delta.

Speaking to Newsmen on the sideline of his installation ceremony as the 3rd President, Rotary club of Port Harcourt Eco and the induction of the Board of Directors last week , Rtn. Dr Anthony Ikpor says that the club "is dedicated to bringing solutions to the environmental challenges in Rivers state and the Niger Delta area" even as he employed the general

American democracy is dead. It has become a one-party state, the Democratic Party. The Republican Party has degenerated unto a cult, the cult of Trump. This is a powerful cult which demands total obedience to its evil disreputable leader regardless of what he does. In his own words, “𝙄 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙙𝙙𝙡𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙁𝙞𝙛𝙩𝙝 𝘼𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙪𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙩 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙫𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨, 𝙊𝙆?" I can imagine him saying, “𝙄𝙄 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙐𝙎 𝙜𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙤𝙣 𝙅𝙖𝙣𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙮 6, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙖 𝙨𝙞𝙣

Republicans will flourish as long as people do not care about ethics in politics. As far as I am concerned,  ethics is a primary requirement for a politician. However, for Republicans ethics has been questionable. Since the domination of the Republicans by Trump, ethics is completely irrelevant. For instance, Republicans must go along with the Trump big lie. So when it comes to deciding, it is a choice between ethical Democrats and unethical Republicans.  Make no mistake to be unethical is to be

The primary concerns for Nigerians right now are security and food. It is essential to avoid any actions that could further escalate the already tense atmosphere and adversely affect the poor and vulnerable population in Abuja. Unfortunately, numerous displaced communities from states ravaged by banditry are being relocated to Abuja without sufficient shelter and food. These individuals often gather near road junctions, seeking alms, and later retreat to makeshift shelters. Tragically, young gir

Because of Florida’s “Stand your ground” law, George Zimmerman stalked unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin and eventually shot him to death without suffering legal consequences.  Since then “Stand your ground” attitude has been adopted all over America whether it is legal or mot. Examples are:

• Teenager is shot by homeowner because he mistakenly went to the wrong address
• Texas teenage girl cheerleader is shot because she mistakenly went to the wrong car i
