By Chuks Osuji  Without doubt, Imo State is on record as one of the most peaceful states in Nigeria particularly when it comes to brotherly love and social conviviality. To many residents, it is still a state of brotherly love and a harmonious co-habitation.  What happened couple of weeks ago in the capital city when the police headquarters and prison correctional centre were attacked and burglarised by most infamous group “Unknown gunmen” should not be taken to be the norm in Imo State. Rather it is most unfortunate and exceptional…

By Onwuasoanya Jones I do not think that Nigeria as a country owns any single cow anywhere in the country, and if they do, it could just be just on paper and nowhere else. It is therefore disgusting that everyday, the President of our country and his aides would harangue us with tales about how cattle business must be protected, as if the Federation owns a better stake in cattle business than in any other tax paying private venture. It is even possible that cattle farmers don’t pay any tax…

By  Chuks Osuji It has been established that the greatest possession of a man or a nation is peace. It has also been confirmed by statements by some great world leaders that peace and tranquility are two important components of national pleasure, comfort and happiness. For example, it has been said by Winston Churchill, Second World War prime minister of England that,”It is better that we jaw-jaw instead of War-war.”  The importance of peace as a universal componanet of tranquility in development cannot be overstressed. It has been said that…

By Joe Ezuma Governors of Southern Nigeria have urged the  Federal Government to convoke a national dialogue and take urgent steps to restructure the country.

By Ubani Kingsley I was working on some documents in my office this morning, the 6th day of May, 2021. Exactly at 9:25am, the Lord Jesus Christ entered my office. His countenance was saturated with sorrow like one who is bereaved of His loved ones. The moment I saw Him, I became afraid. Then He said to me, “Son, I am in deep pains. The reason is that what God have been warning my people about for a long time is almost taking place. For a very long time –…

By Chuks Osuji Understandably, those who have read church history ( the Emergence and existence of the church) can remember that history of the church is punctuated with so many conflicts and murder of different types particularly among and within those referred to as, “Non-believers, infidel, anti-christs, non-conformists” etc. As a Christian myself by the ordinance of my parents, I have always wondered why Christians should fight themselves and among themselves. More troubling is the fact that the founder of Christian faith is known as, “Prince of Peace” Yet, those who…

By Amby Uneze A lot has been said and heard about the in-activeness of President Muhammadu Buhari still being in charge of the leadership of this nation. Prominent Nigerians across the board have voiced their disenchantment on the way and manner insecurity has taken over the affairs of the country without the government in power doing anything to confront the scourge. To Nigerians, this is not the Buhari they knew years back, when he held sway as the former Military head of State of the country. Then, Buhari’s command and actions were…
