Defamation, Not Journalism: An Analysis Of The Otti Visa Ban Article – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Defamation, Not Journalism: An Analysis Of The Otti Visa Ban Article – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Immigration
Defamation, Not Journalism: An Analysis of the Otti Visa Ban Article The Daily Post Nigeria article reporting on the petition by APC chieftain Eze Chikamnayo against Governor Alex Otti suffers from significant journalistic shortcomings that undermine its credibility and objectivity. A critical analysis reveals several key flaws. Unsubstantiated Allegations and a Lack of Balance A primary weakness of the article is its reliance on allegations without concrete evidence. It serves as a platform for Mr. Chikamnayo's claims regarding a N54 billion expenditure but provides no verifiable proof.

A Rejoinder To ABIA Hotel Management: Enough Of The Grandstanding – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

A Rejoinder To ABIA Hotel Management: Enough Of The Grandstanding – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Business, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Hospitality
A Rejoinder to Abia Hotel Management: Enough of the Grandstanding! The attention of all well-meaning Abians has been drawn to the pompous and deliberately obtuse rebuttal issued by the so-called “Board and Management” of Abia Hotel Limited. This response is not just an insult to the intelligence of the people of Abia State, but a brazen display of the very bad faith and entitlement that has held this state back for decades.

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance, Infrastructure
Rebuilding the Fabric of Progress: How Concrete Actions Are Restoring Community Trust and Confidence in Abia State In the architecture of governance, there is no more critical foundation than the trust of the people. For years, the social contract in many states, including Abia, showed signs of strain—a gap between promise and delivery that bred public skepticism. However, a new narrative is being written in Abia State today, not through eloquent speeches alone, but through a deliberate, action-oriented approach that is steadily rebuilding community trust and confidence brick by brick.
