BUHARI’S ONE-MAN CORRUPTION BATTLE: A Course for concern

The corruption fight being waged by President Buhari appears to be a one-man show. The critical element to successful fight against the struggle is grossly silent or unperturbed. These include the National and the State Assemblies, the Governors, the police, the courts, and most especially the institutions of learning (students), whose tomorrow we are trying to fix today.

For the President to succeed in this fight, majority of Nigerians have to eventually commit themselves to what may be called uncommon or revolutionary code of conduct for our existence as a country. As an example, we can ban medical treatment and schooling of kids of public officers and political office holders abroad, including banning of schooling and medical treatment in private schools and hospitals within the country.Read more at:

The wisdom behind that is that our hospitals and schools will get the required attention by being furnished and qualified teachers and doctors employed. Budgetary allocations will be judiciously used for purposes they were meant for.

Secondly, encourage the citizenry, and religious and traditional institutions to question the source of wealth of individuals (whistle blowers) and or change the law to GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT. We must also learn to apply sanctions for infractions of the law.

It awful that what is happening right now as fight against corruption is largely seen as a one-man show, with the rest of us watching and enjoying the macabre dance. So what happens after 4 or 8 years of the Buhari administration? Will the fate of the corruption fight be as that of the dreaded ‘WAR AGAINST INDISCIPLINE’?

It appears that the Buhari's administration will be the last opportunity for this country to turn the table against corruption and get the country back on track for good governance, peace and progress. There is need for everybody must therefore key-in for the fight to be successful.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...

THE ENDURING LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP: Chief James Ibori Celebrated for His Impact on Delta State

On Friday, May 31st, during the funeral service for the Late Asagba of Asaba, the essence of true leadership was vividly displayed. The service featured the introduction of various dignitaries, including Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation who represented President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa. As each dignitary was introduced, the church remained silent.

The enthusiastic reception for Chief James Ibori during this solemn occasion highlighted his enduring legacy among the people of Delta State.
