Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics, South East
THE IGBO QUESTION IN NIGERIA GRADUALLY TURNING TO A YORUBA vs IGBO FIGHT. The seminal and trite statement by Reuben Abati, a seasoned journalist and former Presidential Adviser few days ago that the Civil war that was said to have ended in 1970 never really ended but continued economically, socially, politically, geopolitically, commercially, infrastructurally, institutionally, systemically, and environmentally until the advent of Buhari's 5% participation for the Igbo ethnic group that boasts of at least 30% of total Nigeria population, natural resources and demography.

The Little Things That Matter: Maintaining Order And Decorum In Public Spaces – An ABIA State Case Study – By Dr. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance, People Reorientation
The Little Things that Matter: Maintaining Order and Decorum in Public Spaces – An Abia State Case Study Introduction: The Architecture of OrderThe recent joint enforcement initiative across Abia State’s critical arteries—Isi Gate, Bende Road, and Aba Road—epitomizes Governor Alex Otti’s foundational axiom that "development constitutes the logical culmination of meticulous planning."

Empirical analyses indicate that disordered public infrastructure costs Nigerian municipalities approximately ₦1.2 trillion annually through productivity erosion, healthcare expenditures, and environmental remediation. This treatise contends that Abia’s meticulous attention to seemingly minor elements—pedestrian…

The Shadow Operation: Hijacking Climate Science For Global Enslavement – By Dr. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Columns/Opinions/Letters, Environment, People Reorientation
The Shadow Operation: Hijacking Climate Science for Global Enslavement The Covert Seizure of ScienceThe discourse on climate change has been secretly commandeered. What appears as scientific consensus is a weaponized narrative, carefully crafted by shadowy elites embedded in governments, corporations, and corrupted institutions. Their goal is not planetary salvation, but the establishment of a new global order built on fear and submission. Environmental concern is the mask; total control is the objective. Engineered Chaos: The Tools of TyrannyThese rogue actors actively manipulate the planet itself. Using clandestine geoengineering and weather modification programs, they deliberately intensify natural disasters—manufacturing droughts, floods, and…
