 …Accuse SETRACO of Blackmail and Incompetency

The people of Ekpeye communities in Rivers have decried the insensitivity of the FG over their plight due to the impact of the 2020 flood in the area.

A retired Civil Servant, Dr. Patricia Wudigha Ogbonnaya narrated how the people of the area have been suffering while the government looks away. She states that the flood which was occasioned by the consistent rainfall destroyed every means of their survival in the area.

Some businesses are 100% Black-owned and operated, like this platform. These brands outright identify as having Black founders and CEOs. Brands I love like Capital City Mambo Sauce, Uncle Ray's Products, and clothes from Black Vibe Tribe or hair care products from Black Naps (Natural and Proud Sistas).

The risk which disaster pose to a nation, and its management cannot be overemphasized and it is in connection to this that the Director General of National Emergency Management Agency NEMA Mustapha Habib Ahmed on Friday 6th August 2021 received the Director General of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Alhaji Idris Abbas who led the management of his agency on official visit to the Headquarters of NEMA in Abuja.

White racists hate black people and the knee-jerk reaction is to hate them back. This is the typical reaction  that our culture produces. Wait a minute. We are in a very desperate situation and as such knee-jerk reactions should give way to carefully thought-out  strategy.

The sad fact is that these racists are nothing but pawns of the notorious 1% that dominate American politics. One percent is a very small number, so how can such a small number dominate American politics? Of course, they have b

One of the main defenses Germans made in their defense of allowing the atrocities committed by Hitler against the Jews is ignorance. “We did not know…..”. Well right now America is committing atrocities worldwide and most Americans know but do not seem to care.

War crimes are being committed without war. It is a war crime for a country to deliberately kill hundreds or thousands of innocent civilians to overcome the enemy.  America is killing thousands of innocent men, women and children all over

The Chairman of Lubrik Construction Company, Alhaji Nasiru Haladu Danu, who is also on the Board of Craneburg Construction, while making his speech said the project wo

Crime is on a rampage in cities all over America. Every day we are confronted in the newspapers with more and more  cruel killings. It’s a disaster. Solutions are not working. They are not working because these killings are because of the accepted killing culture that we have established in which killing is fun.

When my grandson was only seven, he was killing over 20 villains per day in video games. I remember as a kid, we played marbles, checkers and scrabble. Now, instead kids are addicted to

When, in 2019, a non-governmental and non-profit organization - Citizens Quest for Truth Initiative, came on stream, not a few persons consigned her future to the dustbin. One of the reasons stemmed from the fact that people knew next to nothing about the vision and mission of the NGO. Another being that, to most of such initiatives, political colouration won't allow them to stand the test of time.

This later group of persons therefore spared nothing in their avowed commitment in seeing that eve
