So, my dad had a 2-bedroom flat for rent at . A guy came to check it out, claiming it was for his sister. He wanted to pay, but dad insisted on meeting the sister first.

Next day, the "sister" shows up with her fiancé, saying they're getting married next month and need the place urgently. Dad asked how much they were told to pay in total, and they said . Dad just laughed, knowing the guy was an agent. He told them to pay as his wedding gift to them.

They left happy.

Now the agent came this morning, fuming and shouting at my dad for "ruining his business." Baba just sat there laughing. 😂

Not every hustle deserves protection, some deserve disruption.

2027 - Omala’s Turn: Restoring Balance in the Ankpa/Olamaboro/Omala Equation

By Hon. Matthew Ochada (HMO)

"Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity."
— Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Let’s not pretend that equity is a complicated matter. Even in a game of musical chairs among toddlers, fairness is observed: everyone takes a turn. But somehow, when it comes to the business of representation in Nigeria’s political space, especially within the hallowed halls of the National Assembly, fairness becomes a matter of political arithmetic, where some LGAs are deemed more “entitled” than others, and some are reduced to mere spectators, clapping for others at every election cycle.

Permit me to ask, without rhetorical frills: How long shall Omala LGA wait at the gates of political representation while Ankpa and Olamaboro take turns feasting inside? Since 1999, we’ve seen this three course meal of democracy served unevenly. Ankpa is to have gorged for 16 years at the end of the incumbent's tenure, Olamaboro had a decent bite with 8 years, and Omala? A single 4-year starter course, swiftly whisked away before the entrée even arrived. Are we to believe that equity is now rationed like petrol during scarcity?

Let us not be deceived by party lines or political gymnastics. This is not a partisan argument; it is a principled plea. Because when a democracy begins to resemble an exclusive club for the favoured few, we must pause and ask: who gets to decide whose voice counts and whose doesn’t?

Yes, late Hon. Muazu Abimaje (Ankpa) kick-started the Fourth Republic ride in 1999. Hon. Ali Aidoko (Olamaboro) came in with political longevity, stretching his tenure from 2003 to 2011. Omala’s moment came with late Hon. Mohammed Ibrahim Idris—2011 to 2015—one term, a fleeting four year breeze. Then came the Ankpa avalanche again: Hon. Hassan Omale (2015–2019), followed by Hon. Abdullahi Halims (2019 to date). That would be 16 years, all on Ankpa's plate after the expiration of Hon. Halims' tenure.

Omala, it seems, was invited to the democratic banquet but told to eat before coming. Yet, every election season, the votes from Omala are wooed, worshipped, and weaponized. The people are good enough to be counted, but not good enough to count?

Let’s be clear: Omala is not lobbying for sympathy. This is not about charity, it’s about constitutional decency, about restoring a balance that has tilted so lopsidedly, even a political naive man would notice. The principle of rotation in representative politics is not just a ceremonial courtesy; it is the bedrock of inclusion. It is the unwritten rule that keeps a fragile federation like ours from fracturing at the seams.

And for the record, Omala is not some political hinterland lacking in credible, competent hands. There are sons and daughters of Omala extraction whose track records can rival, if not surpass, their peers from Ankpa or Olamaboro. What they lack is not merit, but the political patronage that has become the new currency of democratic access.

This is the moment for a constituency-wide introspection. Will we continue to recycle the same zones while preaching unity? Let the record reflect that Omala is not begging, it is demanding what is justly its turn. After all, if democracy is truly government by the people, for the people, then which people, exactly, are we talking about?

And so, to every kingmaker, elder, and political stakeholders with an eye on 2027: look beyond the familiar chessboard. Listen to the quiet but resolute voice of fairness. Because this time, history is watching and Omala is ready.

So, I ask again: Isn’t it time Omala had its turn in 2027? In all humility, I dont think we are demanding for too much.

Outrage in Olamaboro as Chairman Signs Controversial MOU with Fulani Herdsmen Amid Ongoing Insecurity

Tension and widespread outrage have erupted across Olamaboro Local Government Area of Kogi State following a controversial Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by the Executive Chairman, Comrade Williams Ameh and the leadership of the Fulani herdsmen under the umbrella of Miyeti Allah. The agreement according to a statement released on May 5, 2025, is aimed at preventing clashes between farmers and herders as the rainy season begins. However, the move has been met with fierce condemnation, especially from the people of Ofante and surrounding Ogugu districts who describe it as a betrayal of trust and a dangerous appeasement of known aggressors.

For years, communities within Olamaboro particularly Ogugu, a once-tranquil and agriculturally thriving area have suffered from the steady rise of violence attributed to armed Fulani herdsmen. Residents recount brutal attacks, destruction of farmland, kidnapping for ransom and repeated harassment which have rendered entire villages unsafe. Farmers, who are the backbone of the region’s economy now approach their fields with fear and uncertainty. School children travel under threat and families lock their homes before sundown, unsure of what the night may bring.

In light of this grim reality, many have viewed the Chairman’s MOU not as a symbol of peace but as a reckless political maneuver that legitimizes and emboldens those accused of perpetrating the very violence ravaging the local communities. Critics argue that the agreement, which was allegedly made without adequate consultation with those most affected, undermines the suffering of victims and erases their pleas for protection and justice.

The anger is not just about the agreement itself but the context in which it was made. In a region still reeling from unpunished violence, residents see the Chairman’s actions as a signal that their lives are negotiable and their suffering dismissible. Rather than taking a firm stand to root out insecurity and demand accountability, the local government appears to be settling for paper agreements that offer no concrete assurance of safety.

Furthermore, the Chairman’s public reaffirmation of the herders’ continued presence in Olamaboro has deepened fears among residents who now believe that their government is more interested in preserving the status quo than addressing their grievances. The MOU, many argue, has only widened the trust deficit between the people and their elected leaders.

The psychological and economic trauma from the hands of herdsmen is not theoretical, it is lived daily by the youth who can no longer farm safely, by women who fear abduction and by elders who feel helpless watching their homeland unravel.

If any further harm comes to our people as a result of this decision or its fallout, the responsibility will rest solely on the shoulders of the Executive Chairman.

Security, they insist, is not a privilege to be negotiated with violent actors; it is a fundamental right owed to every citizen. Leadership, they argue, must be exercised with courage, empathy and an steady commitment to justice, not political appeasement or backroom deals.

As the rains set in and farmers prepare for the planting season, the people of Olamaboro remain on edge, unsure whether this new agreement will bring peace or provoke further unrest. One thing, however, is clear: no MOU, no matter how well-worded, will substitute for real security and the restoration of trust between the people and their government.

Until that trust is rebuilt through justice, transparency and decisive action, the people of Olamaboro say they will continue to demand answers and hold their LG Chairman to account.

Competition happens at the bottom. The people at the top are collaborating

When I called Baba to ask about his clothes and how much he sells them. I discovered he sold each of the clothes for less than 500 naira. He was a very old man. One who was probably in his late 70s.

We got talking in Hausa language and I asked him how long he has been into clothe business.

He chuckled, raised his head, and began to think.

"57 years now. I don't know my real age, but I was still a very young boy when I started selling clothes in the market in bags."

I asked him why he never opened a boutique or if he didn't have plans to.

He smiled.

"I had a boutique, my son. I had a boutique. I was a very wealthy man back then. Go to Tasha. Ask anyone of Alhaji Mai Kudi. The one that sells clothes. I was the one. I started my boutique business when I was 50 years old."

"So you hustled from when you were small?"

"Yes. From when I was small I was gathering these clothes small small and I started the boutique. I had children. My children didn't lack clothes to wear, food, or even money. I had 4 wives as my religion permits."

"What happened? The boutique. What happened?"

"It caught fire. One night they said the building was on fire. The whole complex burnt down and so did my goods. Everything I had saved. Just when I thought I had come to that place of rest and had finally made it after many years of labor. It burnt down. In one day."

I heaved a sigh.

He continued.

"My wife left me. I was struggling to pay back loans I borrowed to stock the shop and add to my goods. I sold properties to pay back. Life just happened to me."

"All your wife left you?"

"Yes."

"So you stay alone?"

"Yes. But my last daughter of my 4th wife, Zara comes to visit me."

"So you bought these clothes to start afresh?"

He paused and looked at me.

Then at the clothes.

And then raised his gaze to me.

"They are my children's clothes. Since they have long outgrown them, and they've been in the bag at home, I decided to pick them and sell them. These days surviving and getting what to eat is not easy."

I felt Baba's pain.

In less than 10 minutes, he told me a summary of his struggle as a teenager, his rise to wealth, and his unfortunate fall.

I asked him if he believed he would rise again.

He smiled and said to me.

"It took me nearly 40 years of hard work to get to where I was before I eventually lost it. My life is used up already. I see my grave in my dream and it is not far from me now. I am just struggling for the little I will eat so I can survive, until the time Allah calls me home to be with him."

I gave Baba some money.

A drop of tears rolled out of his eyes.

He quickly wiped it.

He thanked me and said a prayer for me before he left.

Life is unpredictable. Today you are up, and tomorrow you are down. Live every day imparting and affecting lives while you can. You never can tell where you will be tomorrow.

My name is Praises Chidera Obiora and I am the best at what I do.
