The war that the two-eyed person saw and fled is the same the one-eyed person vows he will join.

First, a guy from the Southwest had what he called a survey which showed that Nd'Igbo are the least poor in Nigeria. Then the same week, Hillary Clinton was quoted as saying that poverty is behind Boko Haram's attacks. And now, Gallup thinks 68% of Nd'Igbo believe interaction between the West and Nigeria's Muslims is not beneficial to both sides. Both sides, I guess. These guys are aiming to make Nd'Igbo sound

I read a Sun Newspaper article written by Godson Offoaro were he said that Rochas Okorocha the Governor of Imo State ate his lunch by wrestling power out of the hands of Ikedi Ohakim. I ‘do bale’ at Offoaro’s style of trying to get another lunch pack, this time from the Prophet of Rescue, the man with shinning white buba and red cap by speaking sweet talks and shouting ‘Ranka dede’.

I have not hidden my dislike for Mallam Sanusi Lamido's style of leadership and pursuit of power at all cost. This time, it is not different. I am also aware that some youths in Nigeria sees him as a role model. However, what role of Sanusi is worth imitating, other than being a role model for distorting the truth, twisting the facts, confusing the reality, misrepresenting godliness, diverting history, pride, having a chip on his shoulders,

Please my governor needs some words of advice that he is no longer running an NGO but is now the chief executive officer of a state and he needs to start looking at the multiplier effects of some of his policies. The man should not over do things in the name of wanting to be the president of Nigeria in 2015!
