It is no surprise to me that a Federal Lawmaker representing Aba North and South Federal Constituency, Hon. Ikwechegh, allegedly told a Bolt driver, "I CAN MAKE YOU DISAPPEAR AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN." This reflects the deeper issues within our leadership culture in Nigeria.

When leaders are given excessive privileges and wield unchecked power, it breeds arrogance. Unfortunately, many of them treat average Nigerians with disregard, viewing them as insignificant. This faulty leadership orientation explains the selfish decisions we often see.

What we witnessed in Hon. Ikwechegh’s case is not an isolated incident—others are likely doing worse but haven’t been caught on camera. Sadly, individuals with such attitudes are not the exception but the majority in leadership positions across various sectors.

It’s high time we demand better leadership and hold those in power accountable. Our country deserves leaders who prioritize service, humility, and respect for the people they were elected to serve.

My Take: He should apologize and compensate the driver. Otherwise he should be persecuted, I hope there is no immunity at play here.

We are funny in this country, Imagine, Bayo Onanuga telling us that EFCC cannot arrest Former Gov. Yahaya Bello because of the immunity of Gov. Ododo who is hiding him. My question is that "Is Gov. Ododo now above the laws of our land that EFCC cannot obtain search warrant and get him arrested. A man that allegedly stole 80.2billion naira. I am beginning to see that Nigerian law applies only on poor people.

Today Marks One Year Since I Lost My Mother to the Cold Hands of Death.

She went to the hospital as usual, and I stayed in contact with the doctor, hoping she would be discharged, as had often been the case. As a diabetic, she frequently had appointments with different hospitals, but this time, she wasn’t responding to treatment.

On the morning of October 26th, 2023, I called the doctor to ask about her condition. His report was not reassuring, then I suggested that she be transferred to another hospital for better care since I and my siblings were worried. The doctor agreed but warned that it might be a waste of money. Still, I insisted, and I called my younger brother, Eche, to go to the hospital and make sure the transfer happened.

When he arrived, Eche called me with devastating news—he found the nurses covering her body. They told him that she had passed away just a few minutes earlier.

I was heartbroken but stayed strong, knowing that Mama had fought her battle with diabetes for over 25 years. Mama, I miss you every single day. I miss your early morning calls to tell me what’s happening in the village, to check on how we are doing, and to remind me about your food, your aide’s salary, and the other things you needed for your upkeep.

I miss all of that.

May God continue to bless her soul. She lived, she fought, and she left her mark on this earth.

Mama, Rest in Peace.

"Education is the strongest tool we have to transform the world." — Nelson Mandela.

My take: Lack of education is one of the major challenges confronting Nigeria. Unfortunately, it is not a priority to Nigerian politicians and policy makers.

"Opportunities are not mere chance occurrences waiting to be stumbled upon; they are crafted through vision, determination, and relentless effort. In the fabric of every challenge lies the thread of opportunity, waiting to be woven into the tapestry of success. By cultivating a keen eye for possibilities and embracing proactive action, we transform obstacles into stepping stones towards our aspirations. Thus, in the realm of achievement, it is not merely about waiting for the perfect moment, but rather about seizing the reins of destiny and sculpting opportunities that define our journey."
