Why I Voted For America By Chido Nwangwu

Chido Nwangwu This Tuesday, November 3, 2020, a substantial number of eligible Americans will go to the polls to vote for the presidential, congressional and local elections. The majesty of the American electoral system is that this has gone on every four years — since 1789, at the time of the founding of this country, the greatest country known to human civilization.  This tradition has been sustained no matter the weather conditions, no matter the state of the economy and no matter the political contentions of the day! It is not left to the whim, convenience or caprice of any American leader or the most competent president to pick and choose what day he prefers. No.  There are no exceptions not even for the self-styled “stable genius”, and irreverent divider-in-chief Donald J Trump,, the 45th President of the United States.  I am among the 56 million who voted early, almost 2 weeks ago. I did. Yes, with a sense of civic responsibility and faith in the future a...

Governor Ben Ayade Finally Admits Being A Failure By Elias Ozikpu

Elias Ozikpu When a suspect pleads guilty upon arraignment before a judge for criminal offence(s), the tedious process of trial is automatically expunged, which allows the judge to make a quick and judicious decision. In the same vein, Governor Ayade has now pleaded guilty to the fact that he has been a monumental failure after five years in office. This open confession is coming after the governor surprisingly turned into a tyrant, arbitrarily jailing critics of his regime for calling out his anti-people policies, pervasive corruption and a total lack of transparency in office. Before dramatically breaking down in “tears”, Ayade said before the world: “I never knew that five years into office as governor I will still find somebody who could live in a thatch house in Cross River State. I am almost crying because I knew how prepared I was but it didn’t end the way I dreamed for the state.” From the above lamentation, Ayade’s admission that he has failed couldn’t be more unequi...
