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)

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)

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.

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…
