Tomorrow Is Here: Education is The Cornerstone of a New Society

Enugu Smart Schools: Turning Aspiration into Reality

Ndi Enugu,

I bring you very warm greetings this morning, a day we usher in a new epoch in the history of our dear state, and in the life of our children. It’s a day of celebration as much as for introspection.

Africa today is the youngest continent in the world. More than 60% of our people are under the age of 25. By 2050, our population will reach 2.5 billion, and one in every three young people on earth will be an African. This is a stark reminder that our future will be built by young hands.

THE GOOD GOVERNANCE SERIES: DO YOU KNOW THE OFFICE OF THE CITIZEN?

 

By Nnabugwu Chizoba

A popular axiom stresses it that it is what we see that we get. Going by this simple but age long expressed axiom, one is inspired to note that in a Democratic Governance system which Nigeria adopted and is also practicing there is need to look into the Office of the Citizen to among other things seek to know what the office truly is and what we are seeing. Let us begin the process.

ISUIKWUATO NDI NWANNEUKWU, KNOW THE APPOINTED LEADERS OF THE COUNCIL, AND ELEVATE OFFICE OF THE CITIZEN THROUGH ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP PARTICIPATION AND MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENTS

By Nnabugwu Chizoba

It is no news that Abia State did not have elected Local Government Chairmen in the 17 local Government Councils at the time Dr. Alex Otti was sworn in as the elected Governor of Abia State. Aware of the enormous task ahead of him and the administration he represents in Abia state, and very confident of the place of the local government in the delivery of democracy dividends and development of the state generally, he appointed credible people to man the affairs of each of the 17 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Abia State pending the time election is conducted to elect people into office at the 17 local government Councils. The head, Executive of each of the 17 Councils and their Deputies were named by the Governor, Dr Alex Otti as Mayors and Deputy Mayors respectively.

AN OPEN LETTER TO MY BRETHREN IN THE "SOUTH-SOUTH"

By Donald Ekpo, Akwa Ibom State

"For as long as the Old Eastern region remain in disarray and not united, self-determination of the region will remain impossible." ~ An anonymous retired Nigerian Army Chief

The word “South-South,” even though it may sound absurd, is a name we have come to accept as a people. We can’t say exactly how we came about to be identified with the name neither can we say exactly when we were given the name, but we just know it is our name. While growing up back in the days, geography taught us about “the North,” “the South,” “The East” and “The West.” For proper definition of locations, we were also told about “The Northwest, NorthEast, Southwest and SouthEast” I can’t remember anything like the “NorthNorth”, “SouthSouth”, “EastEast” or Westwest , but here I am today, writing a letter to my South-South brethren. That is what happens to a people that are not in control of their Cultural Development or the Political and Economic Future.

THE SUNDAY SPECIAL: APPEASEMENT AND THE APPEASERS

 

Dear All, 

Is it possible that most appeasers and chronic defenders of obnoxious, rascal and dented actions of political office holders of yesterday are gradually going into oblivion, their enthusiasm waning and discomfort taking over?

OPINION: OFFICE OF THE SON AND THE DAUGHTER OF MR. PRESIDENT, GOVERNORS, LOCAL GOVERNMENT CHAIRMEN AND OTHERS NOW A MUST HAVE

 

Chief Obafemi Awolowo - Former Premier Western Region

*TEXT OF DEMOCRACY DAY NATIONAL BROADCAST BY HIS EXCELLENCY PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU, GCFR ON JUNE 12, 2023*

Fellow Nigerians,

2. It is exactly three decades today that Nigerians went to the polls to exercise their inalienable right to elect a President of their choice to lead the transition from military dictatorship to a representative government of the people.

3. The abortion, by military fiat, of the decisive victory of Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola of the defunct Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the June 12, 1993, presidential election, up to that time, the fairest and freest election in the country’s political evolution, turned out, ironically, to be the seed that germinated into the prolonged struggle that gave birth to the democracy we currently enjoy since 1999.

4. In rising to strongly oppose the arbitrary annulment of the will of the majority of Nigerians as expressed in that historic election, the substantial number of our people who participated in the struggle to de-annul the election signified their fierce commitment to enthroning democracy as a form of government that best ennobles the liberty, the dignity of the individual and the integrity as well as the stability of the polity. The fierce opposition to the annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential election and the unrelenting pro-democracy onslaught it unleashed was the equivalent of the battle against colonial rule by our founding fathers that resulted in the gaining of Nigeria’s independence in 1960.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU, 29 MAY 2023

My Fellow Citizens,

I stand before you honoured to assume the sacred mandate you have given me. My love for this nation is abiding. My confidence in its people, unwavering. And my faith in God Almighty, absolute.
