Eminent Anambra people wade into Obiano, Ngige, Arthur Eze’s rift



Obiano & Ngige

FIRST civilian governor of Anambra State, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife and other prominent citizens of the state have waded into the rift between oil magnate, Prince Arthur Eze and the state governor, Willie Obiano.

The 13-man peace committee, inaugurated by the League of Eminent Citizens of the state under the aegis of ‘The Anambra State Elders and Stakeholders Forum’, would also look into the diatribes between the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige and Eze.

They were also mandated to resolve the crisis between the governor and the 13 suspended traditional rulers.

The Forum, pioneered and founded by Ezeife in a meeting at Nimo in Njikoka Local Government Area of the state, described the rift between Obiano and the business mogul as avoidable distraction.

National President of the forum and former Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Anthony Iguh who hosted the meeting told journalists that the stakeholders would not keep quiet while eminent sons of the state engaged themselves in war of words and media battle which, he noted, rubbed off on the reputation and prestige of the state.

The peace committee comprised a retired Chief Judge of Anambra State, Justice G.U. Ononiba as chairman and former Vice Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka Prof Pita Ejiofor as secretary.

School is Scam: True or False? By Stanley Nwadike, University of Nigeria Nsukka

Stanley Nwadike. Author: The Outstanding Student School is scam when said in Pidgin English (a parlance in Nigeria) can be rephrased to “School na Scam”. This slogan according to its users connotes that the idea of going to school is a waste of time because school is not contributive to one’s betterment in life. To them, going to school is not important because it seems there is no difference between those that went and those that did not.  When you here the slogan “School na Scam”, it’s just like one saying ‘school is useless’. This slogan or parlance is entirely false. It is being pushed and propagated by some deviants or those who are not willing to strive towards becoming useful or responsible to themselves and society at large. These set of people look for short cut to success and get-rich-quick avenues. To them, why waste time in school when others are making it big in the outside world. The funny aspect with people with this kind of mindset is that some of the famous people th

Thiago Silva Thiago Silva took to social media on Wednesday to bid farewell to the Paris Saint-Germain faithful ahead of his anticipated move to Chelsea. Silva joined PSG in 2012 from AC Milan and went on to lead the French side to seven Ligue 1 titles in eight seasons, part of a total haul of 23 trophies during his time at Parc des Princes.

Silva took the opportunity to pay tribute to his former supporters, quoting renowned Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa in a heart-felt message shared on Instagram. “The value of things is not in the time that they last, but in the intensity with wh
