 By: Douglas Ogbankwa  Esq.   We are living in a Wasted Generation! -Prof.  Wole Soyinka. The Nigerian Youth are caught in between  the unfortunate mix of the complexities that clog our Society! The first of these complexities, is the obvious non recognition of the Nigerian Youth to play a prominent role in governmental processes! You find for instance, a Political Party, making a 61-Year- Old Man, their National Youth Leader, which is akin to making a Man, National Woman Leader. There seems to be a deliberate policy in place ,to short change the Nigerian Youth and restrict them to pedestrian roles.There also lies the acquiescence of the  Youth in accepting such second fiddle roles. As a Young Man, I read about the exploits of Femi Okunnu and Tayo Akpata of blessed memory's doggedness in stopping the Anglo-Nigerian Defence pact under the auspices of the then  National Union of Nigerian Citizens (NUNS), during the regime of Tafawa Balewa . We also ...

RE: THAT MAN WILLIE AMADI, A CANCEROUS VULTURE THAT SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO GET CLOSE TO ANYONE ELSE ! By Dr. Alamezie Pius, OON An Igbo proverb has it that, "a mad man that dances on the road side, has a drummer nearby bush".  After reading an obviously sponsored article against Barr. Chief, Willie Amadi authored and syndicated to various social media platforms by one unknown Frank Nwaete, I knew that the chicken has come home to roast. In the said article by Frank Nwaete, Barr. Chief Willie Amadi whom I have known since 1982 when he was the District Sales representative of Nigerian Breweries Plc in Port Harcourt was called various names that does not in any stretch of imagination represent his person and I stand to be challenged. From the conclusion of the said jiration by Nwaete, one will easily understand that some individuals who cannot dare Barr Amadi are hiding under the cloak of a poor and jilted beggar, Frank Nwaete to pour venomous diatribes against his person. ...

#DNKIsaysNo2hikes.  De Norsemen Kclub International observes with utter dismay the intention of the Federal Government to perpetuate misery in the country at a time when responsible governments across the world are initiating policies and palliatives that would help citizens to cushion the terrible effects of the Coronavirus pandemic lockdowns. At a time when government should empathize with the people and find ways of economic recovery and social reengineering, the federal government has decided to increase the woes and burdens of the citizens and carry on as if nothing has happened. It is regrettable that the welfare of the masses no longer counts since government could simply wake up and pile up more burdens on the caving fragile shoulders of the traumatized masses. The recent increments in electricity tariff, pump price of petrol and reduction of interest on savings in banks from 3.75% to 1.25% at this critical time of global challenge is, to say the least, thoughtless, reprehe...

I wasted so many hours on biopsychology and cognitive psychology of Franknwaete after my social intercourse with him. I applied common-sense approach to the social psychology of his commentary and submission.  It is a logical fact that thinkers don't write their lives on social space but It fulfilled my submission that Frank is not near to being a thinker after my understanding and witness  on social space where he wrote his autobiography through commentary. This was as a result of his frustrated psychological needs like family love, self autonomy, economic achievement and social affiliation. It is unfortunate that on his pursuit for these needs, Franknwaete could not avoid the harm, shame and embarrassment this pursuit has greeted him with. In variation of this personality philosophy of  Franknwaete and among those that share the same political ideology with him, I resolved that his social scars of deceit, dishonest and falsehood (though old and dry) can be dealt with be...

After reading Hon. Otibe's account on what really transpired in the trending violent attack from him to Hon. Uju and Hon. Ngozi as reported by one efulefu Frank Nwaete, I begin to wonder why some simpleton are allowed to participate in public discourse and commentary. For uprightness, we are Igbos, a tribe with sacred custom and tradition that most be respected at all times, even though some political leaders and representatives are working tirelessly to  contaminate such custom and tradition for their purposeful political interests. On the account as revealed by Hon. Sam and I quote * "I didn't throw glass cup, bottle at Onwudiwe. I only cautioned Hon Ngozi Obiefule not to lay curse on Imo Speaker Rt. Hon. Chiji Collins with salt and water" * . Now my question goes. _ Did this woman really threatened to curse the speaker with salt and water? _ If yes, why did the disgruntled propagandist not inform us about that. How can a woman threaten such, no matter the heigh...

The member representing Ahiazu Mbaise State Constituency at the Imo State House of Assembly, Hon Sam Otuibe has denied allegations of violence made against him by the opposition and their collaborators in APC some  describing them as frivolous and not based on any objective and solid facts. This was contained in his response to the spurious allegations purportedly levelled against him some few days ago and reported by one Nwaete Frank alleging that Ahiazu Mbaise Rep at the Imo Assembly, "Hon" Sam Otuibe, Risks being suspended over his very violent attacks on two female members of the Assembly. Addressing Newsmen, the Ahiazu legislator noted that the false allegation against him essentially impugns on his  integrity, respect leadership and honesty of  members of the 8th House, IMHA. He described the allegation as a desperate act of looser and baseless from people that are threatened by his towering legislative capacity.  Here are some of his responses to the allegatio...

By: Comr. Wisdom U. O. (DonWis) With reference to Ahiazu / Ezinihitte Federal Constituency  and with regard to the engagements with citizen-voters whose interest are expected to be represented in the parliament. It is an issue of public discourse on constituency office/projects as there's little or no evidence/benefit to the grassroots of the Million Naira constituency allowance over the years of democratic dispensation. My focus on constituency office: it's been 10 months after inauguration of the present dispensation, our lawmaker is yet to set up constituency office in our locality depriving our constituents their right to be carried along in government decision making. Lawmakers are expected to have constituency offices in the same manner in which they open campaign offices during the election season. A constituency office is a contact address for keeping in touch with the public, a place where the lawmaker can be contacted by his constituents to engage and relate with him,...
