APC Abia Should Get Its Facts Right – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

APC Abia Should Get Its Facts Right – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Entertainment
APC ABIA SHOULD GET ITS FACTS RIGHT The latest statement credited to the Abia State chapter of the All Progressives Congress raises several issues that deserve clarification. Political disagreement is legitimate, but allegations of ethnic profiling, financial wrongdoing and deliberate discrimination should be supported by verifiable evidence rather than repeated as established facts. First, the APC claims that the present administration dismissed more than 15,000 workers and suggests that the majority were Ngwa people. What is documented is that, in September 2023, the Abia State Government issued a directive disengaging persons employed into the state public service from December 2022…

Haha! Government Is A Continum. Must A Governor Demolish An Inherited Hospital Before Renovation Will Count? – By Pastor Prof. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Haha! Government Is A Continum. Must A Governor Demolish An Inherited Hospital Before Renovation Will Count? – By Pastor Prof. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Entertainment
Haba! Government is a continuum, not a relay race where every new governor pretends the stadium was built yesterday! 😂😂😂 So because Governor Alex Otti renovated, upgraded and gave life to an abandoned or poorly maintained hospital, he must deny the history of the structure? What exactly is the crime here? 😂 Nobody says the building fell from heaven during Otti’s tenure. The real question is: what condition was it in, and what condition is it in today? Government projects belong to Abia State—not T.A. Orji, Ikpeazu, Chinwendu Kanu or Alex Otti personally. A responsible government inherits public assets, improves…

In a statement yesterday, Onoh faulted Gowon’s remarks during an interview on Arise Television in which the former military ruler said that after visiting former Biafran territories following the war, he noticed black spots on palm…

Prosperity From The Grassroots: Rural Livelihoods, Agriculture And The New Abia Vision- By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Prosperity From The Grassroots: Rural Livelihoods, Agriculture And The New Abia Vision- By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Entertainment
PROSPERITY FROM THE GRASSROOTS: RURAL LIVELIHOODS, AGRICULTURE AND THE NEW ABIA VISION A working Abia must not work for the cities alone. It must work for the villages, farms, markets, cooperative societies, women traders, livestock operators, youth groups and households that form the foundation of community life.Development that does not reach the grassroots is incomplete. A state cannot claim real progress if rural communities remain disconnected from opportunity. Roads, power, schools, health centres, markets, security and productive infrastructure must connect directly to the daily struggles and aspirations of ordinary people.This is why the New Abia vision under Governor Alex Otti…

Entertainment
Revealed: Why Otti Remains Focused on Governance Amid 2027 Politics By Ebere Uzoukwa, PhD In a political climate already heating up ahead of 2027, Governor Alex Chioma Otti, OFR, has chosen an uncommon path defined not by noise, distractions, or early campaigns, but by relentless governance. While many politicians are recalibrating alliances and amplifying rhetoric, Otti has remained firmly committed to rebuilding Abia State. For some observers, his ability to sustain momentum in governance while managing political responsibilities appears almost magical. Yet the explanation is straightforward. From his first day in office, Otti committed himself to disciplined and purposeful leadership,…

Abia Under The Spotlight: Data, Programmes, And The Real Story Behind The Numbers – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Entertainment
ABIA UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT: DATA, PROGRAMMES, AND THE REAL STORY BEHIND THE NUMBERS A growing wave of commentary around Abia State’s finances and development trajectory has triggered renewed scrutiny of the administration of Governor Alex Otti. While critics cite large aggregate revenue figures—often quoted around ₦1.6 trillion since 2023—the more important question for analysts is not the headline number, but what constitutes that figure and how it translates into measurable outcomes.Public finance records show that state revenues in Nigeria are not monolithic. They comprise Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) disbursements, internally generated revenue (IGR), grants, and local government allocations. According…

Nigerian Musicians Bring More Money From UK Than Tinubu’s Trips – Says Sowore

Nigerian Musicians Bring More Money From UK Than Tinubu’s Trips – Says Sowore

FGN, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Entertainment
Nigerian Musicians Bring More Money From UK Than Tinubu’s Trips – Says Sowore Human rights lawyer and politician Omoyele Sowore has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s ongoing trip to the United Kingdom, claiming that Nigerian musicians generate more economic value from their visits abroad than the president’s official travels. Sowore, who spoke during an interview on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief on Wednesday, described the trip as a “diplomatic excursion” that offers little tangible benefit to Nigeria. “These visits are nothing more than diplomatic excursions. Perhaps the president will also see his doctors; he has not travelled in about a month,”…
