Gov Otti vs the Chokepoints: How Abia Is Breaking Free from Nigeria’s Economic Traps When American scholar Edward Fishman released his 2025 bestseller Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare, he wasn’t writing about Nigeria.But his ideas — that real power lies in who controls economic gateways like banking, trade routes, and digital systems — speak loudly to what’s happening right now in Abia State under Governor Alex Otti. From the dust of bad debts and broken promises, Otti is building a new Abia — one that refuses to be strangled by national and global chokepoints. In his…

Governor Otti Mourns Late Rev. Dr. Uma Ukpai; Says His Exit Has Created A Massive Vacum In Christendom And In Our Hearts

Abia State, News Flash, Obituary
I received with sadness the news of the passing of our beloved father in the Lord, Rev. Dr. Uma Ukpai. His departure is a painful one not just for me personally, but for the entire Christian community, Abia State, and Nigeria at large. Papa Uma was more than a preacher. He was a generational teacher, and a true soldier of Christ who gave his life fully to the service of God and humanity. His ministry brought salvation to countless souls, healing to the sick, and fulfillment of the scriptures in ways that touched lives far and wide. Over the years,…

Benjamin Kalu: When No: 6 Becomes An Anathema – By Ebere Uzoukwa Ph.D (SSA To Governor Otti On Public Affairs)

Benjamin Kalu: When No: 6 Becomes An Anathema – By Ebere Uzoukwa Ph.D (SSA To Governor Otti On Public Affairs)

Columns/Opinions/Letters, Abia State, National Assembly
Benjamin Kalu: When No. 6 Becomes an Anathema By Ebere Uzoukwa, PhD In the evolving political landscape of Abia State, one figure has increasingly drawn attention not for the depth of his contributions, but for his tendency to wield political rank like a weapon. Benjamin Kalu, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and Member representing Bende Federal Constituency, has in recent times turned his so-called “Number 6” position on the national protocol list into a symbol of political arrogance rather than service. Instead of leveraging his influence to uplift his people, Kalu appears more preoccupied with using it…

Otti’s Rising Abia And The Desperate Cries Of The Children Of Baal – By Ebere Uzoukwa, Ph.D (SSA To Governor Otti On Public Affairs)

Otti’s Rising Abia And The Desperate Cries Of The Children Of Baal – By Ebere Uzoukwa, Ph.D (SSA To Governor Otti On Public Affairs)

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance, Politics
Otti’s Rising Abia and the Desperate Cries of the Children of Baal By Ebere Uzoukwa, PhD In the Bible, the children of Baal were known for their stubbornness, deceit, and resistance to truth. They clung to false altars and fought bitterly against righteousness until divine judgment silenced them. That same spirit seems to have resurfaced in today’s Abia, embodied by those who spread lies, blackmail, and propaganda against Governor Alex Chioma Otti, OFR. Like their biblical counterparts, they rage not because of injustice, but because truth and light have displaced their long reign of darkness, deceit, and corruption. Their lamentations…

Beyond The Lekki Illusion: Aba’s Real Manufacturing Might Humiliates Lagos’ Paper Economy – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Beyond The Lekki Illusion: Aba’s Real Manufacturing Might Humiliates Lagos’ Paper Economy – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Business, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Economy
Beyond the Lekki Illusion: Aba's Real Manufacturing Might Humiliates Lagos' Paper Economy The narrative of "Lagos Boiled by Igbo Economy" and the potential for Aba to rival China in West Africa is not merely entrepreneurial aspiration; it is a story underscored by official data and a telling political context. The failure of President Bola Tinubu to personally commission the new projects of monumental significance for the industrial revival of the South-East, on multiple scheduled occasions may speak volumes to ignorant minds, but stop and ponder for a second. This perceived snub, whether logistical or political, stands in stark contrast to…
