The Log In America’s Eye

The Log In America’s Eye

By AZU ISHIEKWENE Apart from tariffs, another word that the Trump presidency is fond of is genocide. First, it was South Africa. During South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s visit to the White House last May, President Donald Trump played a video suggesting that white South Africans were under genocidal attack. It was a fake video, of course, but Ramaphosa couldn’t convince Trump. Instead of looking at Gaza, where the world has serious concerns about genocide, Trump’s fellow Republicans have now turned their attention to Nigeria, requesting Congress to call out the Nigerian government on charges of genocide against Christians. It’s…

Alex Otti: Taking Governance To The People

Alex Otti: Taking Governance To The People

Otti has proved by his actions in office that he appreciates what political scientists call the four “Ps of Governance” – Purpose, People, Process, and Performance. He has proved beyond doubt that he has both moral clarity and effective, honest execution in leadership, thus underscoring Narendra Modi, India Prime Minister’s quip that, “Good governance with good intentions is the hallmark of our government. Implementation with integrity is our core passion.” He does not only have good intentions for Abians as clearly manifested in the projects he is executing, but in implementing his policies and programmes, he has done so with…

Peter Mba Changing The Narrative From Partisanship To Performance II.

Enugu, Nigeria - When Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah took the oath of office as the 5th democratically elected Governor of Enugu State, he promised to “disrupt the status quo.” Two and half years later, the evidence is visible in Schools, Hospitals, Roads, Pipes, Fiber-optic Cables, Security Cameras, Smart Cities, and Farmlands across the State. Of the plethora of very laudable projects of the Mbah administration, I have elected 30 standout Projects that define one of the most ambitious State-level development blueprints in contemporary Nigeria. This feature takes a deep dive into these 30 landmark projects reshaping Enugu. 260 SMART GREEN…

As President Tinubu Continues To Level The Field

As President Tinubu Continues To Level The Field

By SHEDDY OZOENE We are gradually getting close. The stumbling blocks that stood in the way of a seamless re-election for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu are being steadily dismantled. What seemed, only months ago, like a discordant orchestra of voices within the Nigerian political space is gradually being tuned into harmony and the political establishment is increasingly being united in words, in actions, and in purpose, towards a single end: to queue behind Tinubu and sing his praises into 2027. President Tinubu has, quite ironically, become the beautiful bride of Nigerian politics. Even as his administration reels under fierce criticism…

Why Most Women Fake Orgasm

Why Most Women Fake Orgasm

By OREVA GODWIN I am a very bold and audacious young lady. Anybody who has met me in person knows I don’t tolerate nonsense. I’m blunt to a fault, sometimes too blunt for my own good. I don’t shy away from expressing myself or calling out what I disapprove of. So naturally, I ask myself: why would I, Oreva, fake an orgasm? Why can’t I be bold enough to tell my partner how to touch me, ride me, or please me so I can have orgasm? Why can’t I just say plainly, “this sex is bad, and we need to…

Of Trump, Peace Deals And The Day After

Of Trump, Peace Deals And The Day After

By AZU ISHIEKWENE US President Donald Trump may be getting ahead of himself with the encouraging signs that, following the ceasefire in Gaza, the world might have another opportunity to end the Middle East crisis, one of the world’s longest-running conflicts. It was a conflict in which Trump took sides with Israel – vetoing resolutions at the UN, supporting Israeli attacks on sovereign states, including Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, and feigning ignorance of the attack on Qatar. It seemed no price was too high to “cleanse” Gaza and relocate Gazans away from their homeland to create a nice piece of…
