By Joseph Nwachukwu: The spiritual life of Chief Barrister Kelechi Emeakaraoha is almost a mirror image of the inspirational and legendary St. Joan of Arc. Like St. Joan who embraced Christ at an early stage in her life. Chief Barrister Kelechi Emeakaraoha, a strong aspirant to Ihitte Uboma State Constituency, made Christ the cornerstone of his life by helping people from all walks of life. Like St. Joan, who despite persecutors, hardship and all manner of difficulties, strived for the betterment of the Christians within her country and beyond, Chief…

Madumere: Best bet for Imo guber
As we gravitate to Nigeria’s general elections in 2019, some people in Imo state have already started forming political structures that will eventually translate to campaign organizations for purposes of contesting the governorship stool of the Igbo Heartland state. The moves cut across the three geopolitical zones of Orlu,Owerri and Okigwe. While Orlu zone with 12 local government areas to their credit seems to be more politically active in the scheming, Okigwe with only six local government areas is also fighting for accommodation in the race to the Government lodge…

Read MoreImo 2019: Okorocha must be careful
By Nwabueze Nwoko This Igbo adage that says; “ofu onye anaghi eshi nri oha na – eri”, meaning that an individual doesn’t cook food for the entire society, has a lot to do with this moment Imo State is passing through socio-economic and political turmoil. Since the inception of the Rescue Mission Government’s second tenure led by, Owelle Rochas Anayo Okorocha, the State seems to be sitting on a keg of gun powder trying to explode. And, it will be very disastrous if such explosive device id allowed to devastate…
Read MoreImo Governorship: OPOCA lacks moral sense to challenge Orluzurumee
I have always wanted to stay off any issue concerning politics especially, when it is linked to the 2019 governorship election in Imo State. But as an individual and one of the leaders in Orlu Zone, I find it very disturbing and nauseating to continue to keep quiet when wrongs are seen as rights. To start with, an uninformed fellow will be curious to find out the difference between Orluzurumee and the Orlu political consultative Assembly, OPOCA. But by virtue of the fact that I am an Orlu man, I…

By Kelechi Mejuobi Expectedly, the activities preceding the next general elections in the country is indeed coming with the inevitable trappings. In Imo State, fondly called the Eastern Heartland, the race for who becomes the governor undoubtedly will be interesting if the potpourri of political intrigues and schemings going on behind the scene are anything to go by. The battle for the possession of Government House, Owerri, otherwise known as Douglas House, before the incumbent renamed it “People’s House” will be more fascinating as it would usher in a new…
Read MoreImo 2019: Okey Ezeh and big question of the time
Every leader grapples with the big question of the time. Success, therefore, is determined by the extent to which he addresses it. An oratorical leader – a Cicero – is very much unnecessary to a people at war, just as a peaceful society should have no business electing the Hobbesian Leviathan whose calling is fulfilled only in a chaotic atmosphere where life is nasty, brutish, solitary, poor and short. The Machiavellian Prince became a necessity when Italy sorely lacked leaders with ingenuity in statecraft. In South Africa, Albert Luthuli, a…

By Aloysius Osuji It is often said that if one continues to do things the same way, he will continue to get the same old results. From one dispensation to the other, people keep lamenting about the failings of their leadership. Issues of unemployment, poverty, poor healthcare, hunger, declining educational standards, insecurity, absence of social security schemes and widening inequalities in income distribution, continue to resonate. But like an American best-selling author of Why Ask Why rightly posited; “If you do not ask the right questions, you will never get…
