Of Orji Uzor Kalu; Politics Of Distraction:  When A Man Needs An Enemy To Survive – Bourdex

(A reflection for every vigilant son and daughter of Abia North) In the last few weeks, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu has suddenly rediscovered his voice— not for development, not for unity, not for the forgotten roads or abandoned communities he once pledged to uplift— but for a new theatre of accusation. With a trembling urgency, he has thrown himself into a crusade against Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, claiming—without evidence, without context—that 30,000 souls perished and that Igbo prosperity was shattered at the feet of one man.

Questioning the Trial of Emefiele and Nomination of Ikpeazu as Ambassador

Questioning the Trial of Emefiele and Nomination of Ikpeazu as Ambassador

Why is Godwin Emefiele undergoing trial in Nigeria under President Tinubu while someone like Okezie Ikpeazu can be nominated as an ambassador? Is this disparity appropriate? Ikpeazu does not have a better image and relations than late Adelabu in the international community. The man is the worst and most underperforming governor in Nigeria's history.
