Image
  Arise TV crew members were brutally attacked by thugs in the Ikate Elegushi area around Elegushi's Palace during the 2023 election. The incident has caused widespread outrage and condemnation from various quarters. Eyewitnesses reported that the thugs descended on the crew members, beating them mercilessly and destroying their equipment. The attack on the Arise TV crew members is a clear indication of the deteriorating security situation in the country. It is unacceptable that journalists who are simply doing their job are subjected to such violence and intimidation. The government must take urgent steps to ensure the safety of journalists and other citizens during elections and beyond. It is important that those responsible for the attack are brought to justice and made to face the full wrath of the law. The media plays a crucial role in any democracy, and attacks on journalists must not be tolerated. The Arise TV crew members deserve justice, and we must all stand together to e

Image
 Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has said he would not accept any offer to be part of Bola Tinubu’s Government of National Unity. Tinubu, the president-elect and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) have been dragged to court by Obi over the outcome of the February 25 election.

While featuring on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Thursday, Obi was asked what he would do if he was called upon to be a member of Tinubu’s Government of National Unity. In his response, Obi said he was still challenging the process of the election and the declaration. According to him, the process of the election should be put right first before anyone could talk of the Government of National Unity. “The first thing I want to see is that the process is right. The process through which you achieve anything is fa

  A Twitter user has addressed women who play girlfriend roles for men not interested in a romantic relationship with them.    @MahaMaven stated that women who stick around and play girlfriend roles for men who have made it clear that they don't want any romantic relationship, should be seen as manipulators.    She tweeted;    “ If a man has told you that he is not ready for a relationship, you stick around and play girlfriend anyway, and he sleeps with you but does not change his mind—you are not the victim in that scenario. In fact, a strong case can be made that you are actually a manipulator.”

PETER OBI-THE HOPE OF ALL NIGERIAN YOUTHS

Image
 It is truly unfortunate that Peter Obi is the only qualified presidential candidate in the current election. His impressive background, which includes a degree in Accounting from the University of Nigeria, as well as his experience as a former Governor of Anambra State, make him the only candidate who is truly qualified for the position. However, it is a shame that the other candidates do not possess the same level of qualifications and experience as Peter Obi, and it is a reflection of the current state of our political system.    If this court tribunal does not have a successful outcome, the Nigerian youth will be absolutely devastated. It is truly heartbreaking to think of the impact this could have on the younger generations of this country. We must all work together to ensure that justice is served, and that the Nigerian youth are not left feeling disheartened.   It is quite evident that Nigeria's youth have been overlooked and their votes disregarded following this election.

WHICH WAY BRETHREN

  Living in a country that doesn't respect our rights to live, speak and express the way we feel about some certain issues happening in the nation has never been our choice from birth. We were born into this nation in joy and celebration with hope on our parents faces that one day this beautiful country of ours will flourish in peace and harmony but they didn't know that instead of flourishing the drivers of the nation had other plans which have lead the nation to degenerate becoming a failed State. Ladies and gentlemen I give you NIGERIA "The Giant of Africa". We have fought wars in the past lead by our forefathers or will I say our grandfathers/fathers to either seek oneness, peace and tranquility but to no avail. Some of them of old had made good moves with good intentions to make this wonderful family flourish but are being downplayed by the same children of this motherland. Some flee to other nations while others now hunger and thirst for self determination but t
