By Bulou Kosin, Warri Former militant leader, High Chief Government Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo recently made a public appearance from the creeks after over a decade. His moves sent tongues wagging in a babel of opinions. Keen observers however see Tompolo ringing true as the Ijaw, nay Niger Delta leader and former war lord from Gbaramatu Kingdom that has morphed to a political marksman. Such ones apparently read aright his steps, telling that Tompolo was clearing the fog over his avowed commitment to President Tinubu’s re-election come 2027! His first port of call was Osadebey House, Asaba, seat of Delta State…
By Austin Oyibode In Nigeria’s often turbulent political theatre, where controversies rise and fade with the speed of social media trends, calmness has become a rare quality. Yet, amid the noise, criticism, and speculation surrounding his recent activities, Senator Ned Nwoko remains remarkably unruffled. The lawmaker representing Delta North Senatorial District has, in recent months, drawn both praise and fire for his bold advocacy for the creation of Anioma State and his outspoken defense of Anioma identity. But rather than retreat or react defensively, Nwoko has chosen a posture of quiet confidence, one that speaks to both his conviction and…

By Chidi Chukwutem It has become fashionable in Nigeria’s political space to equate silence with failure and noise with effectiveness. A recent article titled “Ned Nwoko Is Not Hated for Honesty but Criticized for Failed Representation” by one Jude Bruno Amamosa reflects this misconception. While constructive criticism is a vital part of democracy, it must rest on truth, not rhetoric. When one examines the facts objectively, Senator Ned Nwoko’s record in Delta North tells a story not of neglect or underperformance, but of strategic progress, measurable results, and people-focused governance built on integrity and substance rather than theatrics. Since assuming…

The APC stalwart said Ndukwe overreached himself as an ordinary mortal who has no powers to fathom tomorrow. He warned that “the former council chairman cannot play God as the political future of Senator Nwoko was not in his hands” The…
By Mustapha Gembu Recent developments surrounding America’s blacklisting of Nigeria on the alleged grounds of a “Christian genocide” raise serious concerns about the true motives behind such actions. While the United States presents its position as a humanitarian intervention, evidence suggests a deeper, more strategic interest—namely, the exploitation of Nigeria’s vast natural resources. Nigeria is abundantly endowed with oil, gas, and solid minerals, including gold in Zamfara and large deposits of lithium in Nasarawa and Kwara States, among others scattered across the country. These resources have become increasingly critical to the global energy transition, particularly lithium, which is essential for…
