Former Minister of Interior, Capt. Emmanuel Ihenacho has said that the myriads of social problems bedevilling Nigeria today are traceable to the neglect of Nigeria’s youth population especially, the vast army of unemployed youths. Speaking at the unveiling of a job centre and youth empowerment initiative of the Dozie Mezie Owerri group, a development and advocacy platform of Owerri people of Imo state, Ihenacho lamented the plight of the Nigerian youth noting that government must have a definite action plan for its youth population.

Initiative for new Nigeria: Restructured to work and for Justice to prevail
The time has come, and it is now, for believers in the restructuring of Nigeria, to act to push the project to implementation. For those who may have doubts about its meaning, restructuring, in our context, is the re-arrangement of how the nation is organised for carrying out the functions of governance. A belief in the need for restructuring Nigeria presumes that the present structure, or organisation, is not right, or is faulty, and therefore hinders the growth and development of our country and, also, does not allow justice to…

Read MoreThe danger in blocking your prayers
This is your chance and may be your last chance to take positive action in this life-deciding matter. Stop blocking your prayer through sin. Stop being a hindrance to yourself through faithlessness and other wickedness in your life. The people you will read about in 2nd Kings Chapters 1-7 received answers to their own prayers, because they possibly removed the blockade of sin and unfaithfulness from their lives. All the people that pitiably perished like the foolish soldier in Chapter 7, Gehazi in Chapter 5 and others that suffered there…
Read MoreRelegation of God among politicians
Without equivocation, I want to take a stand on one of the issues that provoked this piece. And that is Governor Rochas Okorocha’s consistent authoritative submission that Senator Ifeanyi Godwin Araraume “will never become Imo Governor”.

It is simple and self explanatory. But for some who are not conversant with their Bible, there might be a reason to ask…

It is very rare to see the electorate react positively when politicians declare intention to run for elective offices. Most often, people don’t show interest and when they do it is often in the negative. You will hear them say things like “Wetin concern us, if they are running na for them pocket, ” hmmm, let them declare now are they not contesting to make money? ” Don’t mind them, when we vote them into power, they would change their phone numbers and forget us” These are just few examples…
