EFCC Trails Odili, Indicts Arik Air



 

The days are currently being numbered for the former Governor of Rivers State, Dr. Peter Odili, over his alleged involvement in unwholesome financial activities during his eights tenure (1999-2007) as the first citizen of the state. Although Odili appears to be enjoying a subsisting court ruling which appears to have provided him some...Read more

Interview


Nigeria needs Structural Overhauling~ Dr. Orabuchi

Though democracy thrives in the presence of competing ideas, democratic structures are cemented when rule of law is strongly maintained. I advise the leaders of the country to be cautious in their approach toward 2011 elections because a wrong move may have the potential to trigger enormous chaos in the country.


I do not subscribe to two-party system ~ Hon Chioma

We have been opportune to have 11 years of uninterrupted democracy. And Nigeria will be 50 in 1st October this year and we have had 11 years of uninterrupted democracy. You must agree with me now, that we can be counted with enlightened societies in the comity of nations, because we can now hand over successfully to the in-coming administration without any bottle neck.


Yar’Adua’s Aides Must Be Arrested ~ Rev Dagogo-Jack

A man, who bade us farewell when he was leaving this country in our own presidential jet alleged to have comeback in the night Nicodemusly, and coming to tell us again that he cannot be seen, is unthinkable. This must stop! It is disrespect and great insult to the Nigerian populace.


Kokua Gariga spits fire
...I don't want Sylva there anymore

The problem of Sagbama is that persons in the House of Assembly are feeding fat from fake employment racket. From what I am hearing now; they have employed over five hundred people. How can they pay these persons? The name of your grandmother that is dead, you put her name. These are done by people who call themselves leaders of Sagbama. Today they are in the House of Assembly.



 

My hands are clean ~ Felix Onyeche
He is humble, loyal, a philanthropist and above all, God fearing in Etche land. He is Chief Felix Onyeche, the Ochimba of Ikwerre N


kwuow who many people regard as a messiah in Etche land due to his benevolence gesture to the people of Etche. He was accused of masterminding the killing one Ngewchi on the 6th of April 2009 at the Customary Court, Okehi by his brother Emmanuel Onyeche.


Amnesty will not bring peace in the Niger Delta
After surrendering their arms and embraced amnesty which the federal government gave all militants in the Niger Delta in order that peace will reign in the region.  An activist and Ijaw Leader, Highness, Godknows Sara-Igbe said amnesty cannot bring peace in the Niger Delta expect government is sincere in developing the Niger Delta region and take care of the repentant militants who have laid down their arms. In this interview with Chimex Ndubuisi, he also spoke on the 2nd year of the governor of Rivers State in office and also the issue of demolition of waterfronts.



RelocationofPetroleumInstitute,handiworkofLukman ~ Rev Dagogo-Jack
It is quite unthinkable, my dear, that the Niger Deltans have been crying of obnoxious laws in the Petroleum Act and all that in the constitution. And for a President who has the Niger Delta as one of his 7-point agenda, I was expecting Mr. President to introduce a bill that will repeal any of these obnoxious laws. But all we can see is for him to add to the obnoxious laws.




Nigerian government is the source Niger Delta crisis ~ Dagogo-Jack
Let me tell you something, when Adaka Boro was killed they thought they have killed the person that was agitating, and somewhere other people emerged. When Saro-Wiwa and the elders of the Ogonis were killed, of course they thought that people were dead, till tomorrow they didn't know that people like Tompolo and others will come up. They didn't know that people like Alhaji Asari will emerge. So that's the issue. If today these boys drop their arms and they think that because the boys have dropped their arms the agitations will end, no it will not end.
