Everything that decays becomes nourishment for a brand new life. Every ending is also a new beginning, and what is lost simply makes way for something meaningful to be found. This is the exciting self fulfilling and revealing prophecy of hope and good governance that Obarisi, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege is bringing to Deltans as we move closer to the end of high-handedness, tribalistic, parochial, nepotistic and insensitive administration of the PDP in Delta State. His impending ascension to the Governorship seat of Delta State bodes well for the people. It is an exciting time in the history for our dear…
By Fred Edoreh The history of politics is replete with the struggle of classes. Even from Biblical times, the taller, more handsome children of Jesse wondered how Samuel would seek out a goat herder to anoint as future King instead of them. It was also subsequently asked, “Is Saul also among the prophets?” In the New Testament, the Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes also thought little of Jesus Christ, wondering how any good could come from Nazareth. In the pride of their high learnings, they were ignorant that power belongs to God, that the race is not for the swiftest nor…

Presidential candidate of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has told leadership of the PDP, their presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and indeed all members of the party that they have no shame.

BAYANKOLE/ Marriage in this Bayankole tribe is of great importance as parents derive joy and pride from their children’s marriage.

So when girls get to the ages eight and nine, they are required to go through a fattening process. This…

By Fred Edoreh It was funny reading former Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, putting the blame of the team’s failure to qualify for the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup on former NFF President, Amaju Pinnick. Rohr in an interview with Osasu Obayuwana on Eagle7 FM said his sack towards the concluding part of the qualification cost the team the ticket, that he would have qualified the team had he not been sacked. As they say in our local parlance, “it is he who is not at home that would have beaten up the policeman.” This is how laughable Rohr’s statement…
