PRINCE OKEY NWADINOBI: THE ASTUTE NEGOTIATOR NDIGBO CAN TRUST FOR SECRETARY GENERAL OF OHANAEZE The next Executive of Ohanaeze Ndigbo will certainly work in a more challenging context: increasing digitalisation which is changing in more fundamental manners the way we live, work and relate with the rest of the world under a struggling and sluggish economic outlook. There will also be increasing agitations for equitable distribution of available resources among subnations and socicultural groups and an imperative to communicate and bond with our people anywhere they are in the globe. The stage envisages more contestations of ideas and wits. Obviously Socio-cultural Organisations such as Ohanaeze will  need players,  leaders naturally gifted and well horned with excellent negotiation and other desirable skill sets to succeed in achieving their mandates in the new world order.  Constitutionally, the Secretary General of Ohanaeze is charged with  the day to day running of...

  MADAM GRACE EJODAME ABURIME: Seven Years After? Tribute by: Major Ben Aburime (rtd)  The Greatest Mother that ever walked the planet Earth. It's exactly seven (7) years today you sat on your favourite chair as you sang praise and worship songs with some of your children, grand children and great grandkids, unknown to all you were slipping from one Eternity to another Eternity. It seems only like yesterday when you dragged my hands as I crawled reluctantly to primary school, wondering why the wickedness of not allowing me stay at home to play with my much younger siblings. Then came the Boarding School, the Mother of all Concentration Camps where one's life was ordered by near military barracks-type of discipline, even as you tried explaining the reasons to my sulking heart and blocked ears. Where does time go to, Mum? You forgot to explain that to me. By Major Ben Aburime (rtd)

 The Igbo and 2023 The Potential Candidates By Charles Adeyinka Abuja, FCT The Igbo people are staking the 2023 Nigerian presidency as a do or die, on the assumption that they are the only major ethnic group that is yet to produce a democratic president. But who does the crown fit among the Igbos?  After substantial analysis, we succeeded in narrowing down the candidacy to the following potential aspirants, drawn from both within and outside Nigeria. For a globally recognized ethnic group, the Igbo need to shine their eyes carefully in this matter. After substantial interviews across Nigeria, we succeeded in narrowing down the following people:      Dr. Ogbonnia Onu.  Onu cuts across as an ideal candidate for a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction. He is of steady character, experiences, disciplined, astute intellect, visionary, and avoids controversy. He is one of the major opposition leaders that midwifed the emergence of APC in 2013 and his retention as...
