Adeleke’s Osun, Otti’s Congratulatory Message And The 2027 Abia Question: When Development, Welfare And Electoral Legitimacy Meet – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics

El-Rufai, KASU And The Sacking Of Lecturers: Why The Kaduna Record Does Not Prove Otti Ordered The ABSU Suspension – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

El-Rufai, KASU And The Sacking Of Lecturers: Why The Kaduna Record Does Not Prove Otti Ordered The ABSU Suspension – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Education
EL-RUFAI, KASU AND THE SACKING OF LECTURERS: WHY THE KADUNA RECORD DOES NOT PROVE OTTI ORDERED THE ABSU SUSPENSION The Difference Between Evidence, Institutional Responsibility and Political Attribution The controversy surrounding the suspension of Professor Nnamdi Nwaeze by Abia State University has increasingly been dragged into a wider political argument about Governor Alex Otti. The argument being circulated in some quarters is straightforward: because Otti is Governor of Abia State and Visitor to ABSU, and because the university suspended a professor whose public comments were critical of the welfare conditions of lecturers, the suspension must therefore have been ordered by…

ABSU, ASUU-ABSU And The Otti Question: Who Really Created The Crisis At Uturu? – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Education

An investigative examination of salary arrears, union claims, inherited liabilities, university finances and the suspension controversy now being placed at Governor Alex Otti’s doorstep There is a seductive simplicity to the story presently being told about Abia State University, Uturu. Lecturers are unhappy. ASUU-ABSU has declared an indefinite strike. A professor has been suspended after criticising the remuneration and welfare of academics. Alex Otti is Governor and Visitor to the university. Therefore, the argument goes, Alex Otti must be responsible for everything that is wrong at ABSU.…

Terrorism, Warning Fatigue And The Security Lessons Of Lockerbie: A Deep Paragraphic Analysis- By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Terrorism, Warning Fatigue And The Security Lessons Of Lockerbie: A Deep Paragraphic Analysis- By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Columns/Opinions/Letters, Foreign Affairs, Security
TERRORISM, WARNING FATIGUE AND THE SECURITY LESSONS OF LOCKERBIE: A DEEP PARAGRAPHIC ANALYSIS The history of terrorism repeatedly shows that the decisive security failure is often not the total absence of warning, but the inability of institutions and societies to correctly interpret warning before catastrophe occurs. Lockerbie remains one of the clearest historical examples of how a terrorist act can expose weaknesses not only in physical security but also in intelligence coordination, international cooperation, political judgement and institutional preparedness. The bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie in December 1988 demonstrated that terrorist violence is rarely a spontaneous act.…
