The attention of Alhaji. Dr. Haroun Ogbonnia Ajah has been drawn to a communique purportedly issued by a fake group with the name APC SOUTH EAST FRONT were his name featured prominently as one of the signatories from south east particularly Ebonyi State. 1. That Alhaji (Dr.) Haroun Ajah completely disassociates himself from the said jamboree. As he was never part of the said meeting, neither was he at any point in time consulted or notified about the said meeting. 2. That the said group was birthed by Senator Julius Ali Ucha, a former speaker of Ebonyi State House of Assembly and serial APC gubernatorial aspirant in Ebonyi State.  3. That Senator Ucha as an APC gubernatorial aspirant in the just concluded APC guber primaries in Ebonyi State was deceived by Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State into standing for a primary election in wrong political phase upon which Senator Ucha failed sorrowfully. In other to fully express his anger at the governor, Ucha decided to pitch his tent wit...

It is innate in man and in human culture to yearn nostalgically for the retrospective golden character. But as is evident in human experience everywhere, paradisiacal past is a golden treasure that stand the test of time. There is also always a need for a hero in every culture, society, party, e.t.c. one who epitomizes the ideals the culture ever held. No wonder Mr. president, Muhamadu Buhari reported by daily sun of Wednesday April, 29th 2015 during a congratulatory visit by Igbo delegates Assembly (IDA), he said that “Dr. Onu is an accomplished politician and administrator, a gentle man who has overtime proved to be a dedicated patriot in words and deeds, one who devoted his energy for the unity, progress and development of the nation. Also that “Dr. Onu is a true leader who has used his wisdom and knowledge to champion the cause of his people”. Again on the same note, President Buhari in his forward to Dr. Onu’s book: From Opposition to Governing Party Nigeria’s APC merger story. Bu...

Political analysts have taken time since last night, the 28th day of May, 2022 to pontificate on the possibilities of 2023 Presidential Election. The social media is awash with several analysis and the fun of it is that most of them are either PDP members or those with prejudiced perspective. But in the plenty analysis there are many of them that are very apt and factual. One of such is an article written by topnotch political activist and analyst who has been known for his high sensitivity and persistently perfect political predictions. His analysis is very objective and verifiable.  Comrade Charles Ibiang in his article titled 'ATIKU EMERGENCE IN PDP AND APC PATH TO ELECTORAL VICTOTY IN 2023" wrote how APC has been given victory in the 2023 Presidential Election by Atiku's emergence.  Let's read what he said in that piece; "No Northern Muslim Candidate of APC today can defeat Atiku! APC shouldn't toy with such idea. His (Atiku's) liberal and cosmopolitan...

As we await the decision of political parties and Nigerians at large on the choice of President Muhammadu Buhari's successor in 2023, we expect certain realities as these to guide everyone to the right action. It is also of our highest anticipation that as President Buhari is known for uprightness and firmness on the right ways of living, he should guard against every admonition or views that will tempt him towards North-North transition. Also, doing the right thing involves doing the right thing in the right way as well. What therefore are the right thing and the right way?  1960 - 1963 Sir. Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister and the Head of Government of Nigeria  1960 - 1963 Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe was the Representative of the Queen of England 1963 - 1966 Sir Tafawa Balewa was the Prime Minister and Head of Government of Nigeria  1963 - 1966 Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe became Governor General. So from 1960 - 1963, the North-East was leading the country. Between 1963 - 1966, the North-...

It is important to begin this message with a measure of meekness and humility to the adequacy of historicity and the ontology of time. This is to state that every leader is unique and an appointee of his or her. To this reality we thank God for His gift of President Muhammadu Buhari at his time and age. I do not say the foregoing as a praise singer or a hagiographer but as describe of time and chance in accordance with the truism of human existence and the facticity of our political milieu in history. He was elected by Nigerians in his time and he has done his best according to his power, posture, position and capacity. We owe him thanks and our prayers for his services to our country Nigeria. The time has come for exchange of baton and the processes have begun. It is a fact that in this, the people are saddled with the responsibility of making choice for the next President of Nigeria in 2023. However, the leaders and kingmakers also have the primal duty to present the alternatives to ...

It was William Shakespeare in his book TWELFTH NIGHT who posited that "some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em". Indeed leadership is an attitude that is innate and grows endlessly. This is purely advertised in the nature, existence, gait, life and entire being of Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu. He is a leader crafted with the finest elements of creation.  The former Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation has sent messages across his supporters and support groups to adopt sanity, wisdom, clarity of purpose and outline of developmental poise of his campaign as a mode of operation. For him, only those who are not creative see challenges, criticisms and opposition as a threat. In his message, he admonished the team that is yet to be commissioned for the job ahead to begin their gathering with absolute and impeccable modesty. Following this powerful soul touching leadership introduction of Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu and his team of Thinkers, one...

He is from the East and still extends his hand of friendship across the Niger. He has majority of his friends from the north and built his political circle amongst Nigerians of all ethnic groups.  Have I told you that he is a man of content? Maybe you do not know. He would only dedicate his days serving Nigeria if given the opportunity. His days at Abia State as the governor which lasted for 18 months recorded massive breakthrough for the Abians thus; 1. He gave Abia State tourist attractions 2. Abia State University which kicked off at the formerly Imo State University, Uturu Campus  3. Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike 4. Abia State Polytechnic Aba  5. Federal college of Agriculture Ishiagu now in Ebonyi State 6. Cited the Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB) Technology Village Complex Uburu, which regime truncation altered 7. Established the Broadcasting Corporation of Abia (BCA) Umuahia 8. Established the Ambassador's Newspaper of which the two media channe...

We have taken these few weeks to interact with the electorate of Nigeria about the 2023 general elections and especially on the topic of who should succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023. The spirit is high and the expectations are mounting. Everyone agrees that Nigeria needs a creative mind and someone who is imbued with the skills of production rather than consumption. This is the position of greater number of articulate Nigerians. When these mentions are made as they reverberate, it seems like they are all referring to just one man; DR. Ogbonnaya Onu. The star is rising and the tempo is rapturous. The sky smiles as the winds cares in bliss. It's amazing, the reception, the acceptance, the attraction, the love and the joy. It's just simply seems that God is about to bless Nigeria. In line with God's blessings on our dearly beloved country Nigeria, we must begin to work out means and modalities to actualize His promises. One great work to do as such is to join your voi...

The perfection of mortality is introduced by the reality of death and so thinkers will always hold that death defines humanity in the pure characteristics of beginning and end. It is therefore to say that to be human is to die at last. Our dear nation was brought into mourning at the news of the death of our beloved Barr. Lucius Nwosu. He was an illustrious son of Mbaise from Udo in Ezinihitte Mbaise LGA, Imo State.  He rose to international reckoning and repute as legal icon and a juridical lover of wisdom. He spoke to the world through the prisms of the statutes and tickled human existence with his wits under the wigs. Chief Barr. Lucius Nwosu has performed the mortal act and enunciated his humanity in this performance. Indeed, he was human. But now, he has joined our ancestors. To the living therefore, I send my condolences; to his immediate family, his extended family, the Uhuala kindred, the Udo community, Ezinihitte and the entire Mbaise nation at large. My sincere prayers ar...

I read with grave shock the hatchet job done in the unfortunate pieces of words raised against Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu stating that "He sees himself as the anointed candidate of the APC". That was too much of a horror orchestrated by demonic fingers to demean the personality of that great good man. With intents to stall our call on Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu to see it as wise decision to consider contesting for the position to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023, some people who do not mean well for Nigeria have gone clandestine seeking to tarnish the image of a good man. Wait a minute; they have failed!  The writer of that condemnable and abominable piece started his article as a prediction but changed gear midway and began to sound like a disordered mix of a doomsday prophetess and agent of destruction. The writer fashioned in his imagination certain events that existed only in his hallucinatory mind.  For our class of experts, we understand clearly what that piece was meant to ach...

Such a time in the history of Nigeria, she deserves to move forward. Since the return to democracy in 1999, Nigeria has gone through phases and only very few can understand that time has come for a renewal, reinvention, reintroduction and revaluation of Nigeria. Such task demands a thorough bred and seasoned mind to mount the saddle and lift the country. We are clouded with very interesting experiences at the moment in our national history that one could liken to near collapse. No one is sure of the next moment and everyone offers confusing admixtures of solutions. That may go for a country that needs to survive but it is not enough to desire survival, we all need to work for and towards it. The security of the country, the unity of Nigeria, the national economy, the welfare of citizens, public discourse and the dreams of our past heroes are in terrible fears. It is not a time to build up more confusions by electing those who live, breathe and inhale disorder. It is not time to choose ...

This is a very apt presentation of Nigeria and her leadership. There is still nothing different with those already hanging about for 2023. A system where those who are struggling to lead you don't trust themselves. How can someone lead a system he doesn't trust in the first place? Is this not self-deception? Is it not an immoral act of deceiving yourself and the people? How on earth can one even be on the side of these heartless ingrates who handle political power within our purview?  Leadership has a lot to do with morality and knowledge. No wonder the Greek Philosopher Socrates asserted that knowledge is virtue. Indeed, knowledge is virtue! That Obiano was running out of Anambra State and Nigeria few minutes after his tenure as Governor of the state for medical service purposes?  How else can anyone explain Obiano running away to meet his medical doctor for treatment after Solid 8 years in office as a Governor than stating that he is a woe to himself? In 8 years this sick he...

An Igbo adage holds that only cowards blame their mother in the presence of her assaulter. This is an attribute of the weak, foolish and powerless. If you are a strong man or woman, whenever your mother offends someone, the person comes to you to plead for restitution or amends from your mother. Only the weak is not thought about in such situations. The mother of the weak is like a childless woman and the weak lives as if he or she is inexistent. This same reality is suffered by children. Most times, poor children resort to crying as they are helpless while their mother is assaulted and abused. Only a bad and unreasonable child goes to play when his or her mother is being manhandled by someone else. All Igbos in the PDP at the moment are weaklings and bad children who are out for play while their mother is not just merely manhandled but raped mercilessly. This can only describe an imbecilic child. I read the campaign preludes of Atiku Abubakar, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso Kwankwaso and Tambuw...

Apart from the round leather game, these guys are largely useless to themselves and the country. We are proud of them when they played for the country in the game of soccer and it has to stop there. Their pride and honour on the field of play does not defeat the fact that a great number of them are illiterates and lack good judgement in a lot of social, economic and political issues. I personally will urge them to toe the line of the Liberian soccer legend, George Weah, who went back to school and equipped himself adequately for leadership. These ones here are either gamblers or those whom business people use their names to arouse cheap funds from people and most times people are scammed by their names yet they have borne no responsibilities for their infamous involvement in all that sham.  Of course, it will be a national catastrophe to allow these less professionals in other areas of life to make political decisions for us. The simplest thing to do is to look at them critically a...

Have you ever imagined it? Giving out your last breath And no one is there to cry No one to straighten your body Just you alone and no one else Have you ever wondered? How it feels lying lonely there So cold and speechless No company and no sound Just you alone and no one else What difference does it make? When life is gone When feelings are no more When meanings are lost Gone, no more and lost forever Fear is nothing In the face of no meaning Life and all rest on meaning All is null without meaning But death takes away meaning I wish meaning can for a time Have some power over death I wish the murderer can be born The murderer of death itself That'll mean immortality Immortality is meaning forever Everlasting life to all we need; Feelings, fear, sounds and more When shall it be? In our life or when we're gone? But one day it will be We shall live without it Meaning nothing anymore And life will be forevermore Just forever and ever 

It is almost a usual chorus trumpeting once more and again that in international politics, "might is right and justice is the interest of the stronger". This cliché has remained in the mind and heart of students of international politics for so many years. One particular norm or cliché the craftsmen and women of that earliest cliché have missed to provide is what happens in a situation of equal strength and balance of terror. I am sure they would recline and accept the objectivity of justice and sanctity of morality. It therefore simply speaks to us that international politics is an arena of bullies and power tyranny. This reminds us of the mechanisation of minds across the world by the powers that be. Especially, when any world power lasts so long in our consciousness, they seem to penetrate our substance and subconsciousness to the extent that we cease to ask questions about whatever they do. Most of the time, they assume the status and stature of moral police and become im...

Gush! It's a dream world here Everyone seems tired They're worn out and weak The jubilant is so uncertain The other is angry but bizarre The players have same mind One celebrant today, another tomorrow  Innatism of notorious betrayals  We're victorious We're triumphant Those who shout are afraid What a celebration in fears Do they know what they want The crown of idiots won by one Won for mad ego and no more No home, no knowledge Not regally and no character Don't envy this overbalancing crown It'll be vain and null at last  Nihilism of mores is her substance Our culture is in quagmire Our land in shatters and tatters  We have rejected their overlordship  They won't reign over us Over there are men of mischief A band of betrayals disguised Holy at day, harlots at night A meeting of suspects Trust is a hard currency within They'll never be faithful Their unity is a chaff The weight is crass and empty Once they jubilated Then we saw who they're They...
