Kalu salute courageous fathers on this year’s father’s day, tasks them on nation building.



On the occasion of this year’s father’s day,  a Chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party(PDP), Dr Emeka Kalu has congratulated fathers all over the world on this year’s father’s day.

In his father’s day message signed by him, Kalu described fatherhood as a thing of joy. He singled out those who exemplified the key responsibilities of fatherhood as courageous.


The former APGA Gubernatorial aspirant, quoted, The family: A Proclamation to the World, reminding fathers their some of their duties to the family.

“As an important part of His plan of happiness, Heavenly Father has appointed men to become husbands and fathers. This lesson focuses on their responsibilities: “By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families” 

The Director General of Atikulated Campaign Group Worldwide further tasks Nigerian men on nation building, he said, the task of building a better Nigeria should be propagated by men of goodwill to secure the future of the masses and generations unborn.

“I congratulate all men of goodwill on the auspicious occasion of this year’s Father’s Day. Indeed, it’s a thing of joy to be a father.

We must rise up to the occasion of defending what’s left for our children as a nation and, that’s nation building.

There’s a deep gap between our leaders and followers; it’s in our place to bridge the gap for a prosperous nation. The task of nation building should be our responsibility. Therefore, I urge all men of goodwill to defend what we have as nation to make Nigeria a better place.”

Kalu, who is also the Director General of Global Initiative for Good Governance(GIGG), further urged the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to invest heavily in the public health sector to increase the life expectancy rate of Nigerians which is one of the lowest in the world according to World Health Organisation. He said the failure of the APC government in all sectors has become embarrassing.

“While I wish fathers good health and long life, the federal government needs to invest in our health sector. Our life expectancy rate is one of the lowest in the world with about 55% for men.”

“We cannot progress effectively as a nation with the kind of health system we have now. Our health care system should be properly funded to save lives”.



Biafra realization: We are not bordered by activities of saboteurs – Nnamdi Kanu

Biafra realization: We are not bordered by activities of saboteurs – Nnamdi Kanu


The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Sunday said he and his pro Biafra group are not bothered by the activities of saboteurs and traitors working against the Biafra realization.Mazi Kanu, in a statement made available through IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said that to him and IPOB, the treachery and activities of such people are irrelevant, inconsequential, adding that their activities strengthens him and his group.

The IPOB leader also said the group will never build bridges with saboteurs and traitors, adding that those who sabotage the sacred project of IPOB, will be kicked out of the family forever.

He said, there is no forgiveness, no pardon, no pity, no diplomacy, no bridge building with such traitors, adding that any one kicked out of IPOB will remain out forever.Mazi Kanu, statement read, “We do not appeal or build bridges with saboteurs and traitors. To us they are as irrelevant and inconsequential as Yoro e-rats on N3,000 data stipend a week, their saboteurs activities and treachery strengthens us.”



“If you sabotage the sacred project of IPOB you will be kicked out of the family, you will be shredded and destroyed and sometimes worse things will happen to you if we catch you.

“There is no forgiveness, no pardon, no pity, no diplomacy, no bridge building. Once you are out, you are an outcast forever.“Form as many useless pro-Biafra groups as you like with help of DSS or Ohaneze Ndi Oshi, gossip as much as you like with your multiple fake accounts, you will never be allowed back.“We allow petty saboteurs to keep coming forward because it makes it easier for us to destroy them.


“The more dangerous ones are those in our midst pretending but working for the enemy.Any IPOB appealling to online traitors to stop hating Kanu and IPOB is mentally weak.

“IPOB was forged in the heat of battle and purified in the furnace ceaseless confrontation for 8 years. Bridge building with traitors is for the confused and unfocussed.

“We are IPOB, we conquer and subdue our enemies with overwhelming evidence and incontrovertible proof. We drown them in the pool of truth.

“We love trouble, enmity and confrontation because we believe and know that enemies within and without are good for us the same way a good immune system can only be built by the body confronting viruses and bacteria on a regular basis.“We are arrogant yes! Because IPOB is the best there is in the whole world. An unarmed group that broke a country with nothing but truth.


“If as a front line activist you mistakenly think that our love and praise of your work for Biafra means we are gullible and can be divided, then we show you who we are.

“Any day you step out of line, you are toast, we would sink you because many have died, imprisoned and tortured for this Biafra.We are like the Vulture, we have no friends, we have no enemies. We only love those that pursue Biafra in truth and honesty. Once you deviate, then its bye bye, no matter who you think you are.”

ANAMBRA CENTRAL: SENATOR UCHE EKWUNIFE AND THE DEFEATED VICTOR UMEH, WHAT'S THIS COMPARISON?

ANAMBRA CENTRAL: SENATOR UCHE EKWUNIFE AND THE DEFEATED VICTOR UMEH, WHAT'S THIS COMPARISON?


For some days now, I've watched with dismay as Chief Victor Umeh and his cronies attempt to draw up some myopic comparison between the Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District, Distinguished Senator Uche Ekwunife and Chief Victor Umeh, and I ask, on what basis should anyone compare a proven performer like Senator Uche Ekwunife with an average politician whose umerited stay in the Senate was full of controversies and below par performances?

I find it completely shocking that Chief Umeh and his internet thugs are parading mediocre projects and legislative works online, in an attempt to compare the ineffective and uninspiring representation Ndi Anambra Central experienced during Mr. Umeh's unfortunate entrance and stay in the Nigerian Senate albeit through the back door.

In a poorly concocted and highly unintelligent article entitled, ANAMBRA CENTRAL ONCE HAD A SENATOR, Victor Umeh's untrained media aides struggled without success to revive a product already rejected by the entire SEVEN local governments that make up Anambra Central Senatorial District.

    ARE THESE "ACHIEVEMENTS" BEING PARADED TO PROMOTE THE DEFEATED VICTOR UMEH?

In a sad display of ignorance of what quality representation entails, the untrained aides to the failed former Deputy Chairman Senate committee on Labour and Employment paraded an unproved scholarship to 70 indigent students, an alleged training of 150 youths in an unnamed skills acquisition programme and the disbursement of N50,000 to the wives of some of his supporters in the guise of widows empowerment programme as Umeh's achievement during his unceremonious stay in the Senate.

Shockingly, these enemies of goodwill went further to claim a bill which was simply co-sponsored by Senator Umeh as his, one of which was the Bill to Establish Federal University of Education in Aguleri, Anambra State (Est. etc.) 2018. Umeh, in his usual way of claiming what is never his, arranged his aides to claim that he wholly sponsored this bill and many others. A claim I consider laughable, as a simple Google search of the title of this Bill reveals the actual sponsor of the Bill.

Even more alarming is the dubious claims that the failed former Senator attracted 68 projects to the constituency in one year! What a joke!

Even though the article failed to list these projects, Ndi Anambra Central are aware of the existence of some uninspiring constituency projects by Chief Umeh. These casual works such as erection of Water Boreholes, Construction of 2 blocks of classrooms in few schools when his colleagues had erosion control projects, road projects and others as constituency projects, give him (Umeh) away as one who lacks the capacity to attract laudable projects to the constituency.

Is it the 31 tricycles he shared to his supporters which were said to be bought at an exorbitant and outrageous price of 1.5 millon naira each? His embrassing display of ignorance of constitutional provisions on the floor of the Senate on the 23rd of October, 2018 when a colleague Senator told him to apologize for trying to mislead the Senate or his failed attempt to plagiarize a motion previously presented by Senator Eyinnanya Abaribe on the floor of the Senate? Where does one end, the list of Chief Umeh's failed representation is endless!

  NOW ENOUGH OF UMEH'S WELL KNOWN FAILURES, LET'S DISCUSS SENATOR UCHE EKWUNIFE'S STERLING AND VOCAL REPRESENTATION IN THE 9TH SENATE!

Even without the implementation of the 2020 budget and the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, Senator Uche Ekwunife in one year has distributed 66 tricycles to constituents of Anambra Central Senatorial District against Chief Umeh's 31, sponsored 15 Bills against Umeh's 3 controversial bills in almost 2 years, facilitated employment for 85 graduates when Umeh as Deputy Chairman Senate Committee on Labour Employment failed to secure any employment for even his closest aides and supporters save for his close family members. While close to 400 persons have received empowerment trainings on ICT, Soap making, bag making and a host of other skills in the last one year courtesy of Senator Uche Ekwunife, Chief Victor Umeh is boasting with a purported training of 150 youths in an unknown skill in nearly 2 years of his stay as Senator.

More so, in less than one year, Senator Ekwunife already has 15 impactful motions to her name while Umeh only had 2 adopted motions, the 3rd one was turned down for his display of ignorance of legislative processes.

Ekwunife had gone ahead to facilitate the distribution of educational materials to 131 primary and secondary schools in the Anambra Central Senatorial District, organized a free medical outreach programme across the 58 communities of Anambra Central, faciliated training and distribution of laptop computers to 50 youths to enhance their digital skills, made cash donations and distributed beddings to Loretto Special Science School Adazi-Nnukwu to support the rebuilding of the school hostel which was gutted by fire, and recently out of her humanity and support for the fight against Covid-19 pandemic, she distributed palliatives, protective Items and cash support across the 113 political wards within the district.

Ndi Anambra Central, you may recall that in 2015 when Chief Victor Umeh stole the mandate given to Senator Uche Ekwunife through a widely condemned Appeal Court judgment thereby sneaking into the Senate through the back door, Senator Ekwunife let him be without issuing any form of verbal or media attacks on him. She kept working to recover her stolen mandate knowing that she is the People's Choice and that her opponent lacked the capacity to address the yearnings of the constituents, this was exemplified when she, in February 2019, defeated Chief Victor C. Umeh in the entire 7 local governments of the Senatorial District with over 40,000 votes margin.

Now, it's barely one year and the defeated Victor Umeh and his untrained media tugs, out of boredom and joblessness have resumed their spread of propaganda when the people of Anambra Central are still counting their losses during the time Umeh and his co-conspirators scuttled a mandate that earned us the highly sort Senate Committee on Petroleum Downstream in 2015!

Obviously, Chief Victor Umeh remains the only Candidate in the last election who is yet to get over the shock of losing to a more popular candidate at the polls, and hence his continuous sponsoring of internet thugs to attack the people's choice representative of Anambra Central Senatorial District, Senator Uche Ekwunife. These lapdogs have continued to do the bidding of their master in the most unprofessional and infantile manner.

Chief Victor Umeh should be informed that no matter his antics, the Senate seat of Anambra Central Senatorial District has gone far beyond his reach. The mandate of Senator Uche Ekwunife is divine and the people of Anambra Central Senatorial District are proud of the choice they made!

Why I admire Peter Obi

Why I admire Peter Obi

“He deployed the money he saved from cutting costs to the development of his state such that he never borrowed a dime throughout his tenure as governor. Rather, he saved a lot of money for his successor. So far, he has remained the best governor Anambra has produced in all ramifications.”

A governor’s N50m single trip to Abuja

Casmir Igbokwe



In a transparent and sane society, there would have been uproar by now. But ours is a country of anything goes. So, there was not even a whimper. We simply shrugged off the revelation that the former Bauchi State Governor, Mohammed Abubakar, spent N50 million for each trip to Abuja from Bauchi as governor. 

At first, the allegation seemed unbelievable. But coming from the incumbent governor of the state, Senator Bala Mohammed, it is not impossible. In a media chat to mark his first year in office, Senator Mohammed affirmed: “N50m just to go to Abuja, it is there on record. I don’t even take it. My protocol, yes, as a governor, will take N3m to N5m to go with me. We are not saying this to beguile anybody but it is there. If you take N50m times four, that is N200m, you cannot do anything, you need projects.”

I had expected that ex-Governor Abubakar would have called a press conference to debunk this allegation. Since he has not done that, I assume that there is an element of truth in it. The reaction by his media aide, Ali M. Ali, that the allegation was diversionary is unsatisfactory. Ali wondered how N50m could be spent on such travel when the ex-governor usually stayed in his house in Abuja on such occasions. “This is unthinkable,” he noted.

Yes, it is unthinkable! But I am not sure Ali has the details of everything the governor did when he was in office. And it is not certain if he consulted him before his swift response. Thus, we need to hear directly from the governor. We need to know some other details, including how the state government spent about $3 million to repair its 50-seater aircraft that is currently parked. The governor said the state needed extra $3 million to effect another repair on the aircraft he described as valueless.

The Bauchi episode replicates itself in many other states. It confirms the common knowledge about how those at the helm squander our commonwealth and leave the majority of us in penury. Some waste millions of naira on champagne alone. Some travel in chartered aircraft when commercial airlines are at their service. And they move with a retinue of aides whose travel perks also run into millions of naira.

This is why I admire the former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi. Faced with similar opportunities when he was governor, Obi chose a life of prudence. He never moved with unnecessary convoy. He travelled only on commercial flights and in economy class too. For him, the millions of naira spent on preparing food for him at the state liaison offices each time he travelled outside the state were unnecessary. He stopped it and only preferred to take his meals in his hotel. He deployed the money he saved from all these to the development of his state such that he never borrowed a dime throughout his tenure as governor. Rather, he saved a lot of money for his successor. So far, he has remained the best governor Anambra has produced in all ramifications.

Why can’t other Nigerian leaders emulate this philosophy of Obi? Why is there so much wastage in the governance of the country? Currently, Nigeria’s debt stands at about N33.078 trillion. The other day, the Nigerian Senate approved the Federal Government’s $5.513 billion external loan request. In March this year, the same Senate approved FG’s $22.7 billion external loan request. And in this April, there were reports that the Senate approved President Muhammadu Buhari’s N850 billion domestic loan request. Why are we on a borrowing binge? Why spend billions of naira to service loans and mortgage our future when there are other creative ways of generating money?

In case they have forgotten, here are a few of these creative ways: One, they should block the security vote loophole. We must learn to run a transparent government where every kobo spent on people’s behalf must be accounted for. As it is currently, security votes are not accounted for. It gives room for serious embezzlement and encourages shady characters to vie for these top leadership positions just to grab state resources. It is not healthy.

Two, all governors travelling outside their states must go with commercial airlines. Whoever wants to charter aircraft should do so with his personal money. The Presidency, on its part, should reduce the number of aircraft in the presidential fleet. There are at least nine planes in the presidential fleet when only two or three would have been adequate.

Three, political office-holders should reduce the number of their aides and political appointees. Some governors have hundreds of aides who draw salaries every month. The functions of some these aides overlap, indicating that some of them are not necessary. In some states, you have special assistant, senior special assistant and special adviser on one position. The Presidency is also guilty of this. Most times though, these appointments are political. They are meant to compensate some people who helped in the campaign for elections. There must be some other ways of compensating these people without creating avenues for haemorrhaging the resources of the state.

Four, all the states paying life pensions to ex-governors must put a stop to it. Some of these former governors receiving these pensions are currently serving as ministers or senators. Hence, they earn double pay simply because they served the state for eight years. This is not right.

In some states, the entitlements are outrageous. A typical example is Lagos State, which first introduced this law during the tenure of Bola Ahmed Tinubu. According to the Lagos life pension law, any ex-governor who served the state for two terms is entitled to a house each in Abuja and Lagos, six brand new cars every three years, life pension of N30 million per annum, etc. In Akwa Ibom State, a former governor like Godswill Akpabio is entitled to N200 million annual pension and many other benefits. Meanwhile, Akpabio had been a senator and is now Minister of Niger Delta Affairs. Some other states with this double pension law include Edo, Delta, Rivers, Kano, Katsina, Niger, Bauchi, Borno, Abia, Oyo, Ebonyi and Gombe.

Good enough, some states have abolished that law. Zamfara put a stop to it last year. And the most recent is Imo State, which repealed it a few days ago. Kwara State suspended it in 2018. It is not certain why it has not completely abolished it.

Five, government at all levels should stop depending wholly on oil, which is a depleting resource. The Federal Government has done well by trying to revive agriculture. But it needs to do more. There is no reason relevant ministries should not encourage manufacturers to mass-produce goods for export, especially to sister African countries. Car manufacturing company, Innoson, for instance, should be able to export its vehicles to some neighbouring countries.

In all, if our leaders are able to cut cost of governance and diversify their revenue base, there may not be any need to take humungous loans. As for Bauchi State, all I can say is, sell that aircraft and plough the profit in some developmental projects in the state. Call ex-governors to render account of their stewardship if need be.

 Re: Now that worship centres are about to reopen

How I wish they will abide by the directives when the church reopens because it is the responsibility of every government to protect the lives of her citizens. Also, government should wield a big stick to any church/mosque that violates the directive as J.J Rousseau stated that he who doesn’t want to be free must be forced to be free. So we must force our people to be alive. Lastly, government should consider easing the lockdown of interstate borders because of the hardship it imposes on traders.

 Smart, Abakaliki, 08134774884

Casmir, having relaxed the lockdown to the extent of reopening worship centres, government would bear the burden of 40% likely increases should the chickens come home to roost. Why crash under undue pressures when the curve is yet to flatten? Watch out for these interesting scenarios at worship centres: 1. Government authority vs spiritual authority. 2. Faith vs logic. 3. Nose mask protection vs divine protection. 4. Social networking vs social distancing. 5. Restrictions in the house of God vs liberty (in the presence of the lord there is fullness of joy/liberty). 6. Realities vs conspiracy theories (doubting Thomases). 7. Faith purveyors vs fear promoters. 8. Caution vs throwing caution to the winds. May God perfect our imperfections!

 Mike, Mushin, +2348161114572

Dear Casmir, salvation proceeds from the heart and one’s belonging to God also rests in the internal. Being a Muslim is different from being a Mohammedan. Mohammad never lifted sword on a Christian instead he lived in peace and harmony with them because it was Syrian Monks that spotted him a prophet. So, attacks on Christians are not Islamic.

 Cletus Frenchman, Enugu, +2349095385215

Dear Casy, as you rightly said, we have become too religious and ungodly. Most of our Christian leaders abandoned their followers by not being able to provide for them both spiritually and materially. Now, some have lost their means of livelihood through this Covid-19 pandemic. Currently, Nigerian govt coro is deadlier than covid-19. The Fulani herdsmen terrorists supported by this present federal government have taken over our lands from Middle Belt to the whole South. This is the time for us to unite and rekindle our faith as exemplified by our lord Jesus Christ who is the author and finisher of our faith.

 Eze Chima C. Lagos,+2347036225495

Religious bodies should re-arrange their sitting pattern during service to avoid spreading of Covid-19 pandemic. The clergy should not use the opportunity of re-opening worship centres to milk members dry with different offerings & tithes to recover all that they have lost.

HOME CONTROL

A daughter wore a skimpy skirt one morning and her father told her to go and take it off that it was too short. 

She walked to the room and reported her father to her mother .

   “Mummy daddy said that I should take off this skirt”.

Her mother replied “is this like a report or what? ☹ ALIYAH! that was an instruction and it needed an immediate action, so go and take it off immediately"

She quietly walked away and complied. 

1. Dad / Mum, please turn them back when they are reporting either of you to the other.

2. Let them know instructions from any parent are not reportable. 

3. As a parent, do not summon your partner to find out whether the report was true or not.

4. Do not tell your partner he/she was wrong before your child/children.

5. If you see no reason why such instructions were given, conclude it with your partner in secret and let same person correct it.

6. If you did not give him/ her a punishment, let the one who gave it do the release and if the person is not around and you can’t reach on phone (try and do the call before the child if possible) then release the child when appropriate and tell him/her that it is with the permission of your husband or wife. Both of you are same.

7. Let us do this together so we train and raise godly children properly.
