Senate President Godswill Akpabio has again stepped into the eye of the storm, not so much for what he said as for what his words now represent in a country increasingly impatient with the language of power.

Pith. Some say wistfully that the alliance has come four years late. Its optimistic supporters insist that a ticket promising equity, unity and prosperity is never late. It was first mooted in 2022, but bloated egos would not let it thrive. Fortunately, the last elections cleared some delusions. Perhaps the alliance has arrived at its appointed […]

Leadership by example makes all the difference. Seeing Plateau State governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang address grieving families, from an Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC), after yet another blood bath, made me blink a tear. If he could commandeer such bullet proof machine from the police, what stopped the governor from using the same weapon to pursue the killers […]

There is an on-going debate in the country about the achievements of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu government. Opinions are, as expected, divided. But I notice a streak on the government side which borders on insults, base propaganda and threats. Government must never be tired of explaining its activities and actions which is why it has a full […]

We are told in 2 Corinthians 6:2 that “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold now is the day of salvation”. The verse emphasizes that the present moment is the critical, urgent time for salvation and receiving God’s favor. In a layman’s understanding, it simply means, strike the iron when it is still hot, because […]
