COVID-19: When The Rainfall It’s Not Discriminatory…It Falls On Everyone’s House.

The overview of the current situation is not about insulting or mocking anyone for being sick, it is just to re-awaken everyone to the need to do their jobs as expected of them, else they meet the very fate to which their inaction and kleptomania have subjected ordinary Nigerians. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with so saying. 

The leaders of Nigeria refuse to build and sustain infrastructure, like hospitals, in Nigeria; they instead steal money meant for such things and fly abroad for mere headaches, while millions of Nigerians languish in penury and their children die of illnesses that minor medication could have cured (Emir Sanusi tearfully testified that such happened in his palace). 

With Coronavirus, these leaders are now unable to fly off, they are now dealing with the healthcare deprivation to which they have subjected Nigerians for decades. That’s what most Nigerians have been saying to powerful people like Kyari and President Buhari, that’s not mocking them for being sick.

President Buhari is alive today because of hospitals in London, yet he hasn’t deemed it necessary in five years to have just one hospital like that in Nigeria? If now is not ripe to remind him of incompetence, when is the right time? 

Most of us treat Nigerian leaders as if they are God, that’s why they keep treating citizens like slaves. All world leaders are addressing their citizens periodically but Nigerians had to beg Buhari to address them. When he eventually did, he made no sense, up to not being to pronounce Covid-19, yet some people are complaining that somebody is reminding them that the chicken does come home to roost?

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. However, the atmosphere dramatically changed when the name of Former Governor James Ibori was announced; the congregation erupted in wide jubilation and applause. This reaction was so profound that even Senator George Akume and Governor Obaseki could not hide their astonishment. The enthusiastic reception for Chief James Ibori during this solemn occasion highlighted his enduring legacy among the people of Delta State. Despite having left office seventeen years ago, he continues to be celebrated whenever he attends public functions i...
