Somebody Should Please Call DSP Benjamin Kalu Aside Ooo! – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Somebody Should Please Call DSP Benjamin Kalu Aside Ooo! – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Somebody Should Please Call DSP Benjamin Kalu Aside Ooo! Somebody should please call Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu aside—not to insult him, but to remind him that politics is not only about ambition; it is also about timing, judgement, and reputational discipline. A man nursing governorship calculations in Abia cannot afford to be walking into national headlines over petitions surrounding his Law School certificate, NYSC timeline, and professional qualification history. Whether the petition succeeds or fails is not even the immediate political issue; the damage is that a man trying to sell competence is now being forced to explain credentials. That…

Ben Kalu For Governor? Even Comedy Needs Structure – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Ben Kalu For Governor? Even Comedy Needs Structure – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

BEN KALU FOR GOVERNOR? EVEN COMEDY NEEDS STRUCTURE This declaration reads like a political comedy skit wearing a campaign cap. “Capable warriors,” “divine and mortal mandate,” “rescue Abia,” “suspend my ambition”—very dramatic. But beneath the grammar of war and rescue mission, the question remains painfully simple: rescue Abia from what exactly—visible roads, cleaner cities, debt discipline, healthcare reform, renewed investor confidence, and a governor already controlling the Labour Party structure in the state? That is where the joke begins.They say Benjamin Kalu lifted APC membership from 3,440 to over 160,000 through e-registration. Beautiful arithmetic. But online registration is not political…

On Peter Obi And The Igbo Voter: The Lazy Libel Of Ethnic Bigotry – By Tai Emeka Obasi

On Peter Obi And The Igbo Voter: The Lazy Libel Of Ethnic Bigotry – By Tai Emeka Obasi

On Peter Obi and the Igbo Voter: The Lazy Libel of Ethnic Bigotry By Tai Emeka Obasi When some Yoruba voices dismiss Igbo support for Mr. Peter Obi as “ethnic bigotry,” it borders on the exceedingly ridiculous. The charge collapses under the weight of history, logic, and elementary political arithmetic. The question is then forced: Where were these self-appointed custodians of nationalism when Professor Humphrey Nwosu, an Igbo man, staked his life to conduct Nigeria’s most transparent election in 1993? Where were they when, with a gun to his commission’s temple, he insisted on continuing to announce results that showed…
