Tragedy in Edo State: Negligence, Political Agendas, and the Loss of a Valiant Officer

Image
  The recent incident in Edo State, where a police officer lost his life amidst political celebrations, has left many questioning the priorities and values of those in power. Rather than providing first aid to the fallen officer, he was used as a political prop, paraded around while severely shot, instead of receiving the urgent care he so desperately needed. This blatant disregard for human life and the well-being of those who serve to protect us must not be overlooked or forgotten. As the number one citizen of Edo State, Governor Godwin Obaseki has a responsibility to work closely with the Inspector General of Police to ensure that the perpetrators of this heinous act are brought to justice. Swift and decisive action is crucial in demonstrating that such negligence and callousness will not be tolerated in our society. The fallen officer's family, friends, and colleagues deserve to see accountability for this tragic loss of life. Additionally, the decision of Philip Shaibu to rejo...

Unmasking the Metamorphosis of Political 'Gangster Writers

Image
     …..A Tale of Mercurial Pens and Muddied Inks In an era plagued by mafias and gangsters vying for territory, a new breed of assassins has emerged – the 'political gangster writers.' These pens-for-hire have seemingly compromised the integrity of the written word, transforming their craft into a tool for political manipulation. Once revered as the fourth estate, writers were the fearless crusaders who exposed the truth, allowing citizens to drink from the fountain of knowledge. Yet, the piece by Erasmus Ikhide lamenting the decay of our educational institutions under Godwin Obaseki's administration and him cross carpeting to the political party he writes against begs the question: are political gangster writers undergoing a Kafkaesque metamorphosis? As a friend and admirer of Erasmus, I am left perplexed by this apparent volte-face. It seems our wordsmiths are entangled in a web of Machiavellian machinations, their loyalty swayed by the siren song of stomach infrastruc...

Telling the Truth in Nigeria: A Revolutionary Act in a Time of Universal Deceit-Dr Eholor

Image
  In George Orwell’s world of dystopian fiction, the phrase "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act" captures the essence of defiance against manipulation, lies, and suppression. Today, in Nigeria, this phrase resonates strongly as we navigate an era where truth seems elusive, and deceit has seeped into the very fabric of our society. The act of telling the truth—no matter how inconvenient, painful, or disruptive—has become not just an act of courage but a revolutionary stance against a system that often thrives on falsehoods. A Landscape of Deception: Nigeria, a nation rich in culture, resources, and potential, has unfortunately become a country where dishonesty is often rewarded, and truth-telling can result in severe consequences. Whether it is in politics, business, media, or even everyday interactions, the distortion of facts and manipulation of narratives are rampant. Leaders, both public and private, frequently make promises they never ...
