Democracy Or Deception? What America’s Voter Revolt Should Teach Nigeria Before 2027 – By Charles Ude, Esq (Legal Practitioner And Author)

News Flash, Politics
Democracy or Deception? What America's Voter Revolt Should Teach Nigeria Before 2027 By Charles Ude, Esq. Three days ago, American voters did something that still surprises people who only watch their politics from a distance. They looked at the man they had returned to the White House in 2024 and decided, in large numbers, that his party no longer deserved control of Congress. Democrats took both the House and the Senate. They flipped seats in places Republicans had treated as permanent territory—Texas, Kansas, Ohio, South Carolina. The reasons voters gave were not especially complicated: prices, the cost of living, a…

The Poverty Of Intelligence- By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance
THE POVERTY OF INTELLIGENCE When Political Opposition Mistakes Noise for Knowledge, Propaganda for Wisdom, and Criticism for an Alternative Vision By AProf Chukwuemeka Ifegwu EkeDepartment of EconomicsUniversity of Abuja, Nigeria THE PECULIAR PARADOX OF POLITICAL INTELLECTUALISM In my years of studying economics, public policy and institutional development, I have encountered several manifestations of poverty. There is income poverty, consumption poverty, multidimensional deprivation and the particularly debilitating condition of opportunity poverty. Yet contemporary political discourse in Abia State has directed my attention towards another phenomenon: the progressive impoverishment of public reasoning. I call it the poverty of intelligence.

When A Ranking Becomes A Political Racket: The Economics Oracle Forgot – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance
WHEN A RANKING BECOMES A POLITICAL RACKET: THE ECONOMICS ORACLE FORGOT BudgIT, Abia’s Fiscal Renaissance and the Intellectual Hazard of Selective Statistics By AProf Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke 5 November 2026 I have read with considerable amusement the commentary circulated under the pseudonym ORACLE, purporting to expose Governor Alex Otti’s administration through BudgIT’s 2026 State of States Fiscal Performance Ranking.
