Now that the popular Ge. Buhari has come out clean of the certificate saga, not that it really mattered anyway, the president who claims to be a Ph D holder should also release his doctoral thesis, as a gesture of courtesy. Buhari has also named some few of his colleagues who are prominent citizens of the country. What has since caught the public attention is the loud absence of president Goodluck Jonathan's colleagues during his doctoral days. Nobody seemed to know who his classmates were. Nigerians are demanding to know who supervised his thesis? A professor in University of Abuja (name withheld) argued that since the President is claiming superiority in certificate and knowledge, "he should be magnanimous to present his class work for Nigerians to analyse ". it has been very clear that the PDP and it's presidential candidate lacked anything important to tell Nigerians than to continue to bring up lame excuses to discredit the opposition figure. They have be...

I was at a friend's house last night and when it was 9pm I told him to switch on the TV so we can watch the NTA News. " am sorry, I don't watch NTA, it's all about Goodluck's lame achievements" I said 'but would you at least allow me?' "Not in my house! " he bluntly told me " PDP and Goodluck not in my house please".  I respected his stand so I turned to other news platforms, this time on my phone.  Why I wrote all this is because I have been trying to reach him since 7am and his mobile is not going through. I became worried.  Thank God I have his wife's number. What she told me shocked me down to my bones!  "My husband has flushed his SIM down the toilet because when he checked his balance there was PDP advert on it"  It's shocking, hilarious but it has really agitated me. The SIM that he has been using for about 13 years now, PDP advert has made him threw it away.  God, how far can the PDP h...

I was bored this week end, for lack of anything to read, I went to peruse through my University papers. It helped to dust off those cobwebs, but I was amazed to be reminded at the sources of power which listed information as one of it. This means if one has vital information it gives one power, strength, or an advantage to make wise decision or even to create a formidable change in respect of that field of information gotten.               Majority of our country men and women do not have information about their country or how it is governed. Most of us do not have access to those activities that influenced, for instance, the bench mark for our minimum wage. Why and how did the Government arrived at the N18,000:00 minimum wage as against the wealth the country produces? Or how come it placed the basic monthly salary of a Senator at N2,484,245.50? According to The Economist, per annum income of a Nigeria's legislator is whopping $2,183,685.00 as agai...

In present Nigeria, one would not end a healthy political discussions with persons from the South-South of the Country, without them accusing that the North, or what they amusingly called the Hausa-Fulani, of having 'born to rule syndrome '. Most times, I try to educate them that the 'rulership 'of Nigeria is open to any tribe to partake. The failure of others to rule the Country whether by a barrel of gun or ballot must never be construed as a syndrome to always be the preferred candidates. Before one becomes a leader in Nigeria, the person must have undergone process of acceptance within the ethnic, religious, and political fabric that makes up the Country at that material time. And even within the military establishment. It is therefore laughable for some one to accuse the Hausa- Fulani of born to rule syndrome. Perhaps why we often come tops as preferred choice has been our excellent leadership qualities, inherent knowledge of issues affecting our country. Not a...

 I feel strong about this, Me and you, like any other mortal, not excluding Buhari and Jonathan, have our not so printable pasts. My thesis is NOT that Buhari is the awaited Messiah who will take all our pains and sorrows away and establish all living and unborn citizens on 'Easy Street' of Nigeria forever. Rather, my point IS THAT the ruling party (PDP) has stayed in power for one and a half decade without any commensurate achievement. Similarly, Jonathan has been in power for six out of those 15 years of PDP administration or maladministration as the case maybe. Now he wants another four years to get 10 years of GEJ administration or maladministration as the case maybe. Yet, insecurity, corruption, and poverty remain the lot of the masses. Therefore, all I'm essentially canvassing is a democratic change of the party at the centre to any other available option so that perchance, Nigeria will gradually become a better place for us all. My political-philosophy is...

As the PDP Loses the Majority to the APC in the House of Representatives, the change movement soars. Yes, yesterday the APC emerged as the Political Party with majority of members in the House of Representatives, the first by an opposition party since 1999. Following this development, the APC overtakes the PDP as the dominant party in the House. The new distribution shows: APC (179) PDP (162) other parties (19). The House has 360 members. Countrymen and women it is NOW one down (The House of Reps), two more (The Presidency and the Senate ) to go at the Federal level. CHANGE BECKONS. Truth cannot be hidden as Nigerians increasingly abandons the rotten house called the PDP. May God Bless Nigeria. Prof. Chris Nwaokobia Jnr.

We may not be as famous as some of the other Gubernatorial aspirants. Neither do we have bags of money to share as some seem to have. We definitely do not sit on the same table with 'godfathers' that make things happen out of nothing. These could be a disadvantage to those who insist on doing things the way every one seems to be doing, or to those who do no want to upset the status quo.  6 + 3 = 9 but so does 5+4. The way you do things isn't always the only way to do them. What these means is we have a different approach to getting the required votes from those who count most; the teeming voters of our dear State who right now also are in need of different ideas to better their lives.  We are giving them hope for a better future, courage that all youths and women can be what they choose to be in life, sharing the prosperity to areas that matter most: this is some aspect of our message in Mega Progressive People's Party. Join us!

I am a Muslim. You are a Christian. Which ever religion you practice, we must not be enemies. I know you don't hate me because am a Muslim. I will never hate you because you are non-Muslim. What we need is to understand our differences so that we can deal with our common enemies.  We have mutual enemies; poverty, unemployment, insecurity, lack of functional health care services, falling standard of education, poor road infrastructure, lack of clean drinking water, lack of respect for each other, lack of community cohesion. What we lack in Adamaw state are too numerous to ignore. Let's unite in the face of our challenges, let's come together to re - direct our future. Let's bring out the best in all of us, let's allow the shinning stars guide us into a better society with respect for the dignity of the human person.  Yes we believe! Vote for the new face, new ideas, new innovations that beings in hope, courage and prosperity - Mega Progressive People...
