Good morning my people. Please permit to ceased this medium and beg you to allow me do this anti-party at the national level in peace. Peter Obi is where my heart rings.

It's how nature want it. Thank-you and God bless you for your understanding. I'm G S Ogochukwu Nwaokeoma

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike in Abia has described the Federal Government’s Consolidated Academic Salary Structure (CONUASS) as “unilateral”, hence unacceptable. The group’s position is contained in a statement jointly issued by the Chairman and Secretary of the union, Michael Ugwuene and Paul Nwiyi, and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria(NAN) in Umuahia on Saturday. The statement is entitled, “Failure of Government: Collective bargaining agreement is the way forward.” It stated that CONUASS awarded increases of 35 per cent and 25 per cent of current salaries to Professors at bar, and other ranks, respectively. It argued that the review was prepared by the National Salaries, Income and Wages Commission and presented to the Prof. Nimi-Briggs-led FG/ASUU Renegotiation Committee, without inputs from ASUU.

President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke has described some state-owned universities as quacks. Professor Osodeke, who appeared on Arise Television on Friday morning, was reacting to the resolve of some of the state universities to call off the strike and return to lectures. He said that the discussion should be about the federal universities, such as the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN; University of Ibadan, University of Maiduguri, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, among others, which according to him are the real universities in the country. The professor insisted that all those other universities have never been part of ASUU and are not counted among the striking ones. “Yobe State, go and check, just like Kaduna state universite, what’s happening there? Please don’t set those examples, they’re irrelevant. “Talk about the issue, is Ibadan on strike? Is UNN on strike? Is ABU on strike? Is BUK on strike? Is Maiduguri and Lagos on strike? “Tal

I was approached by Nigerian government agent to produce a movie, I was happy because the money involved was much. When he gave me the script, I found out that the movie was all about tarnishing the image of Igbos, and I quickly rejected the offer. Now I understand the reason most of Nigerian movies are all about Igbos doing money rituals and prostitutions. Most of movies produced in Nigeria were sponsored by Nigerian government just to tarnish the image of Igbos. I wonder what Nigerian government wants to achieve by making everyone to believe that Igbos are evil. - Chika Anyanwu

Soyinka wondered why the Federal Government was yet to ban a cattle group, Miyetti Allah, while it had already proscribed the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Nobel laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, has questioned how the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Nigerian Government manages the several crises facing the country.  Soyinka wondered why the Federal Government was yet to ban a cattle group, Miyetti Allah, while it had already proscribed the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a group looking for the secession of the South-East from Nigeria. He made these remarks in an interview with the pre-recorded show Newsnight on Channels Television, noting that Nigeria must always put the nation's history in perspective to comprehend security concerns. He said, “My temperament doesn’t accept that anyone should chase me out of my God-given earth. So, it is a temperamental thing as well. The idea that you can unleash terror on me because you want my little patch of territory or you want my soul;

Former minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has confessed that the supporters of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi, are everywhere. He stated that the ‘Obidients’ have ideas and vision. While cautioning the big political parties, (PDP, APC), Fani-Kayode advised them to play their cards very well. In his article titled ‘Who are these Obidients’?, Fani-Kayode instructed his party members to humble  themselves and embrace Obidients with a view to solving their respective problems. Recall that many political parties have asked about Obi’s political structure. Some have said that Obi has presence only on social media. But countering their hypothetical submission, Fani-Kayode averred that “I see them amongst my staff and amongst those that regard themselves as being amongst the oppressed and downtrodden. I see them amongst the professionals and those that are bankers, lawyers, doctors and artists. “I see them in the North, West, East and South. I see t

The Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Atiku Abubakar, has said he will hand over Federal Government-owned universities to state governments. The 75-year-old Adamawa-born politician stated this on Monday as a panelist at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Nigerian Bar Association’s Annual General Conference held at the Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos. The conference, with the theme ‘Bold Transitions’, began on Monday and will run until August 26. Speaking on Monday during the panel session aired live on Channels Television, Atiku said the Federal Government does not have infinite resources. “The only way is to make sure that you make conducive environment available to both foreign and local investors to participate in our country, whether it is infrastructure, whether it is education, whether it is power,” he said. “I had an argument with a university professor from Federal University, Lokoja. He said he read in my policy document that I intended to de

The attention of the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership and command of Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU wish to state to the public that IPOB leadership and members has been acquintated with the threat from the former Governor of Abia State, Alhaji Orji Uzor Kalu where he has given order for the compromised Nigeria Security Agencies to wipe out IPOB-ESN staying in the bushes and forests safeguarding our bushes and forests for our mothers, wives and sisters who are going to the farms.  IPOB has nothing with anybody issuing such threat but Orji Uzor Kalu has given us time frame and we are ready for him and his co-travellers who will be coming to us. Orji Uzor Kalu will pay after the attack because he will understand that IPOB is not a push over.  Many unscrupulous Governors and elements from the East have tried in the past to neutralize ESN so that their Caliphate Masters will send their terrorists in to occupy our land but did not succee
