By Amos Oweifighe The supreme quality of leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is in a classroom, a football field, in an army, or in an office. With integrity, you have nothing to fear, since you have nothing to hide. Having nothing to hide is an expression lacking in the arsenal of most personalities in the corridors of power. Having been part of an extensive investigation on the past and present personal/professional life of Mr David Edevbie, a former Commissioner of finance in Delta state, I can bodly say I have…

By Ruth Omigie Residents of 42, Obahor Street in Warri have been thrown into shocking mourning after they discovered the lifeless body of their co-tenant in his room. Agent Dan, as he was popularly called, committed suicide after his girlfriend, known as Ejiro, dumped him for another man. Dan’s co-tenant (a lady) alerted neighbours when she noticed that his door was still closed as at 8:30 a.m which was unusual. She had knocked and no response, but rather perceived a strange smell suspected to be chemical. His door was thereafter forced open by neighbors to find him dead with foam…

Incurable liar and Presidential candidate of Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi expanded his catalogue of lies on Monday by playing the medical doctor, declaring Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as unwell for the presidency. He even added most gratuitously that Asiwaju’s supporters are backing him for his money. We find these statements unbecoming of a man who nurses the ambition to be Nigeria’s next President. Since he is not Asiwaju’s doctor and is not privy to his medical record, Obi, the poor philosophy graduate, has again disgracefully elevated what has for long been a beer parlor gossip and social media lie…
By Fred Edoreh Egged on by the likes of Segun Odegbami, Harrison Jalla and a few retired functionaries of our sports who have been unable to get on to different life, the Minister of Sports, Sunday Dare, is riding roughshod to dismantle the structures of Nigerian football, from the statutes of the NFF to the composition of its Congress and, recently, the League Management Company. His propagandists make it look altruistic and in national interest, but those who have followed Nigeria football from 2010, at the least, will know that it is all a facade. Dare’s sole objective, like some…

“I am very happy over the awareness I’ve created 48 hours ago. The likes of Jeff Bezos and many others have reacted. Questions are now been asked about the “British Empire”. Factually, Ojukwu and Gowon had a meeting in Ghana, to avert this sad history. But because the British empire which is now under the leadership of King Charles lll were paranoia, they influenced Gowon to go ahead simply because they don’t want another Japan in Africa. The history books are there. “There was a country” by Chinua Achebe is there for facts!. “The Biafra story” by Frederick Forsyth and…
