For decades, Nigeria has been trapped in an endless cycle of identifying problems, discussing problems, debating problems, and lamenting problems.

In the often turbulent terrain of Rivers State politics—where alliances shift like tides and power blocs define trajectories—there occasionally emerges a figure whose story is not merely political, but deeply personal, professional, and profoundly instructive. Dr. George-Kelly Dakorinama Alabo, widely known as DAX, is one such figure. This is not an endorsement born of convenience
Just yesterday (20/05/26) the air waves were dominated with the news of the governor of Rivers state, Sir Siminalayi Fubara withdrawing from the APC governorship primaries.

Nigeria stands at a delicate moment in its democratic journey—one that demands vigilance, honesty, and a firm commitment to first principles. The growing concerns expressed by citizens about the health of our democracy should not be dismissed as mere political noise. They are warning signals that deserve careful attention.

Though rich in youth, endowed with natural resources, and with decades of experience in self-governance, millions of Nigerians today endure economic distress, insecurity, hunger, and a
“And God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light.” — Genesis 1:3 Light is one of the most basic metaphors for life, safety, hope, and order. Darkness, by contrast, often becomes a breeding ground for fear, crime, stagnation. In Nigeria today, widespread darkness (literal and metaphorical) is contributing directly to insecurity, stalling industry,
The legendary Prof. Pat Utomi today (June 16, 2024) posted the following tweet on X social platform: “I watched the South African elections and wondered what Mahmoud Yakubu and INEC thought of it and of themselves. Then I watched Ramaphosa sign up on a government of National Unity and I wondered if those who captured
