By George Etakibuebu An African adage says “No man ever acknowledges that his opponent’s hunting dog is capable of killing a huge grasscutter (a delicious animal).” It is, therefore, not surprising that All Progressives Congress (APC) children of anger, who go by the moniker of Akpakomiza Media Strikers (what a name) whose stock in trade is nothing other than peddle lies and propaganda, are at it again. Still reeling from the debilitating fallout of their principal, Senator Monday Okpebholo’s disastrous outing with Akoko-Edo Development Association, where he was caught pants down “giraffing” what to say, and even at that still…

By Michael Ovienmhada Once every 70-80 years approximately, the periodic Halley’s Comet blazes a truly spectacular trail across the heavens in a majestic confluence of power and glory that portends uncommon brilliance. Just such a confluence can be personified in one person, with duty, on a mission to shape and change things beyond seasons in timeless, fundamental ways. Over 70 years ago, we had all these qualities come together in one man, Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo. He was a man on a mission to tell and to show us that possibilities existed which most others could not wrap their heads…
Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Mr Peter Obi, on Wednesday punctured the bubbles of Olumide Akpata, the LP governorship candidate in the September 21 election in Edo State when he declared that the popular Obidient Movement does not belong to or resident in any political party. Olumide has been banking on the Obidient Movement as his superstructure of support for the coming election. But Obi in a series of posts on his verified X handle @PeterObi, unwittingly discarded Akpata from hoping the Obidient Movement. He stressed that the movement supports the struggle for…
The INTEGRITY GROUP of Delta state was appalled by the highly reprehensible publication authored by a faceless group known as “League of Delta Patriots “in a Vanguard edition of 3rd June, 2024.The pedestrian writers laboured albeit unsuccessfully to paint the Oborevwori administration,s one year in office as being cheerless and unworthy of any celebration. As Ambassadors of Governor Oborevwori,s M.O.R.E Agenda, we stand a better stead to do a critical evaluation of the Governor,s one year in office. Before we can do an unbiased evaluation of the one year of the Oborevwori administration we must know what the acronym M.O.R.E…
Orhowhe Primary School, Iwhrekan-Edjophe in Ughelli South LGA has no chairs, tables and desks for teachers and pupils to sit on. The classrooms have roofs broken and dilapidated buildings, floors broken. When I brought that to the notice of the Delta Government some officials were sent to the school but surprisingly up till now no chairs, tables, desks have been provided. It was only on 25th May,2024 Iwhrekan community Chairman, Comrade Rufus Onokurhefe, hired plastic tables and chairs to the school to enable the primary 6 pupils write their Primary School Certificate Exams. I appeal to Gov Sheriff Oborevwori to…
There is no justification for killing of any human being. I will always condemn killings, kidnapping, robberies and every heinous crime, every offence no matter who and what is involved. Governor Alex Otti of Abia state has proven to be a man experienced in leadership. He is a material for governance. The way he is handling the killing of soldiers in his state is evident he is committed to lead his people. As noted by Chief Godwin Notoma, a prominent Udu Kingdom Chief in Delta state, “For the same action, killing of soldiers, Okuama was razed by soldiers foreign to…

Our attention has been drawn to the advertorial in the Vanguard Newspaper of Monday, June 3, page 29, by an obnoxious group which calls itself League of Delta Patriots. Titled “Open Letter To Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori One Year In Office….”, it was, at best, mere childish mischief and futile effort in disinformation. By mischievously suggesting that there is “nothing to celebrate or smile about” in the first year anniversary of Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori in office, they betrayed the fact that they are pitifully uninformed on the demands of good governance and also amnestic about the…
