A Lesson from "APC Wedding" Chaired by the PDP 
Raphael Ogar Oko
PDP Governor Akpabio made an interesting proposal at the wedding reception of the daughter of APC Governor Rochas Okorocha on inter state marriage by young Nigerians. He proposed that the beautiful ladies of Imo state should not focus on marrying fellow handsome gentlemen in Imo state only but seek to marry extra handsome gentlemen from Akwa Ibom state. He also mentioned that he has practiced what he is proposing by marrying outside Akwa Ibom state. He has sent a strong message that all of us should think about in the effort for national unification.

Governor Rochas also need to be commended for inviting Governor Akpabio to Chair the wedding program. As APC Governors Forum Chair, he kept political differences aside and reached out to the PDP Governors Forum Chair. If all politicians can keep aside political differences and work together for national unity and integration, Nigeria will emerge one of the greatest nation on earth in a short time

Eligibility For 2015: S-court Dismisses Suit Against Jonathan

Eligibility For 2015: S-court Dismisses Suit Against Jonathan ABUJA-The Supreme Court, Tuesday, dismissed the suit seeking to stop President Goodluck Jonathan from vying for a re-election next year. A five-man panel of Justices of the apex court presided over by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, struck out the appeal which was filed before it by a Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from Adamawa State, Dr. Umar Ardo. Delivering the ruling, the CJN, accused Ardo of inviting the Supreme Court to arrest a proceeding pending before the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal. He noted that the substantive suit challenging Jonathan’s eligibility is currently before the appellate court, stressing that Ardo lacked the locus-standi to move the apex court to either take over hearing on the matter or compel the appeal court to join him as an interested party...

BEYOND THE YAHOO YAHOO ENDORSEMENT OF PRESIDENT JONATHAN

BEYOND THE YAHOO YAHOO ENDORSEMENT OF PRESIDENT JONATHAN GASKIYA TAFI KOBO (TRUTH IS BETTER THAN CASH) I heard that the National Working Committee of the people democratic party (PDP) have undemocratically endorsed president Goodluck Jonathan for a second term, but we must note that, this is not what the people of Nigeria wants. It is against our will to continue with luck without hard work. Despite giving Nigerians pain and agony, exposing our lives to massive poverty and unparalleled insecurity, those who claimed to represent the people in PDP went ahead to endorse the man who is leading Nigeria astray. Let me state that, this purported endorsement of Mr.Jonathan can only hold in the houses of those who claimed to have made the endorsement, Nigerians would never fall in line to such an inhuman endorsement. The endorsement was without any consultation with the people they claim to represent,because if they inform the people what they are about to do on their behave...

Curbing Extra-Judicial Killings In Nigeria

Curbing Extra-Judicial Killings In Nigeria By Okechukwu Nwanguma   “EXTRAJUDICIAL killing in the police remains a shocking common occurrence,” Eric Guttschuss, Human Rights Watch researcher for Nigeria, was quoted in a BBC report in May 2009, four years after the June 7 and 8, 2005 cold-blooded murder of five young male traders and a female student (the Apo six) by the police in Abuja. Eight years after this most infamous case of extrajudicial killing in Nigeria’s history, the criminal trial of the identified killer-police officers has gone nowhere. Families of the victims appear to have given up hope for justice, especially after the prime suspect was granted bail in 2006 by the trial Judge, Justice Isyaku Bello, on dubious health grounds. Othman Abdulsalam, the then DPO of Garki Police Station where they were killed, also ‘escaped’ from police custody and has remained at large till date. The Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial executions, in his report, said: “If the Ap...

A Third Alternative to PDP and APC – By Senator Ben Murray-Bruce

A Third Alternative to PDP and APC – By Senator Ben Murray-Bruce Months after the 2015 elections ended, Nigerian youths are still hung up on those elections. Nowhere is this more obvious than on social media which our youths have turned to a battle ground divided into pro People Democratic Party (PDP) and pro All Progressives Congress (APC) youths. So ingrained is this animosity that each group targets elected officials and party chieftains of the opposing parties and go after them just on the basis of their party affiliation. Things reached a comical stage when a youth attacked me for a tweet on Twitter and hours later was praising a popular youth for his tweet. Unbeknownst to him was the fact that the youth had merely tweeted my exact words but had not credited me with the quote! These shenanigans makes me concerned for our youth. Where they should be getting closer and breaking down barriers, they are holding a candle for politicians who in reality are not as divided as they lead...
