WHEN COURT LOSES ITS TEXT: How Citizens Must Critique A Questionable Judgement In A Constitutional Democracy- By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

WHEN COURT LOSES ITS TEXT: How Citizens Must Critique A Questionable Judgement In A Constitutional Democracy- By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Columns/Opinions/Letters, Judiciary
*WHEN A COURT LOSES ITS TEXT: How Citizens Must Critique a Questionable Judgment in a Constitutional Democracy* AProf. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu EkeUniversity of Abuja A New Frontier: Critiquing the Judiciary, Not the Government A number of respected readers raised profound concerns after my earlier essay on critiquing government. Their central question was simple but weighty: How do we critique a court that is constitutionally assumed to be competent? This question deserves its own full treatment, not as an appendix to the earlier essay but as a necessary continuation of it. Critiquing the judiciary is not sedition; it is a constitutional duty.…

How To Critique A Constituted Government: An Exciting Game – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

How To Critique A Constituted Government: An Exciting Game – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Good Governance, Politics

AProf. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke The Philosophy Behind Government Critique Critiquing a constituted government is not rebellion; it is the highest expression of democratic maturity.

Mascot, Governance Is Serious Business; Not A Playground For Convenient Amnesia- By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Mascot, Governance Is Serious Business; Not A Playground For Convenient Amnesia- By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics
Mascot, Governance Is Serious Business — Not a Playground for Convenient Amnesia Mascot Uzor Kalu’s latest outburst (“fantasy spending”, “fictional figures”, “economic roadmap without foundation”) is less an economic argument and more a revealing confession of how little he understands about modern public finance, state revenue modelling, medium-term expenditure frameworks, and the fiscal reforms currently reshaping Abia under Governor Alex Otti OFR. Let us take Mascot line by line, fact by fact, and teach him—politely but decisively—that governance is not guesswork, not noise-making, and certainly not nostalgia for the years when his family treated Abia’s treasury like personal estate. “Abia…

How Governor Otti is Rebuilding Confidence in "Made in Aba" Products By Ebere Uzoukwa, PhD The launch of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Competitiveness and Industrial Productivity Program on Thursday, 27 October 2025, stands as a clear demonstration of how Governor Alex Otti is restoring pride and credibility to Made in Aba products.
