By AProf Chukwuemeka Ifegwu EkeAssociate Professor of Economics, University of Abuja November 12, 2026 There is something profoundly fascinating about the science of rocketry.

Yet, once sufficient…

EMOTIONALITY: TIME AFTER TIME The Rape of Abia, the Silence of Twenty-Four Years, and the Man Who Heard Her Cries By AProf Chukwuemeka Ifegwu EkePolitical Economist | University of Abuja There are songs that entertain the ears, songs that excite the imagination, and songs that penetrate the most carefully guarded chambers of the human heart. And then there are those extraordinary musical compositions that transcend their original intentions, escape the geographical limitations of their composers, and become the emotional vocabulary of generations.

The Mathematics Of Political Defeat: Why 2027 May Have Been Decided Before The Ballot – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Why I Have Been Silent For Three Years: A Hard Truth We Must Confront – By Chief Dr. Mbah Imoh Uduma- State Vice Chairman North, Abia APC

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Personality, Politics
WHY I HAVE BEEN SILENT FOR THREE YEARS: A HARD TRUTH WE MUST CONFRONT For over three years, I made a conscious and deliberate decision to refrain from commenting, writing, or contributing to any discourse on igbo platforms especially Ohafia. It was not out of arrogance. It was not because I had nothing to contribute. It was out of sheer disillusionment with our pattern of reasoning. In our clime, once you dare to hold a contrary opinion, once you refuse to chorus the popular sentiment, you are immediately branded a sell-out. An outcast. This intellectual intolerance is dangerous, and it…
