Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Education, Empowerment, Youths
Otti: Grooming Young Minds Into Leaders of Tomorrow By Ebere Uzoukwa, PhD “The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.” – Ralph Nader Leadership has always defined the fate of societies.

A Reply To Reno Omokri Regarding Peter Obi And Recent Political Allegations – By Dr. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics
A Reply to Reno Omokri Regarding Peter Obi and Recent Political Allegations Introduction: Setting the Record Straight Dear Reno, Thank you for engaging in political discourse, as vibrant dialogue remains essential to our democracy. While your recent comments about His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi contain several allegations, I will address them systematically, though as you suggested, Mr. Obi himself may not respond directly for reasons that will become apparent. Your critique appears to blend legitimate concerns with misleading statements and personal attacks that do little to advance substantive political discussion in Nigeria. I write this response not merely to counter…

Columns/Opinions/Letters, News Flash, Personality
The Pathetic Pantomime: Reno Omokri and the Art of Grown-Up Childishness Reno Omokri’s public persona constitutes a masterclass in arrested development—a cringe-inducing spectacle where faux sophistication masks profound ethical infantilism. His career remains littered with juvenile antics wholly unbecoming a former presidential aide, revealing a man whose emotional maturity fossilized between playground taunts and adolescent melodrama. The farcical theater of his existence demands rigorous dissection. I. The Forgery Fiasco: A Case Study in Ethical BankruptcyThe 2014 "Wendell Simlin" scandal endures as Omokri’s most grotesque performance. While serving as President Jonathan’s Social Media Assistant, he orchestrated a fraudulent campaign to falsely…
