SOC,

Thank you for writing. As for me, I see beyond what you wrote here and believe me, I can only imagine the things you would have loved to write but instead, you wisely chose dilpomacy and careful threading....Clever?

Again, you made this concise, touching here and there not trying to spill some can of worms.

Anonymity has been used to spread heresy on this site and you can tell which men are true to their words when you apply wisdom on this NVS and elsewhere.

Usually there is more in life than what the eyes behold at each point in time.

You have heard about all the lizards lying on their belly but not knowing which one has stomach ache.

In the near future, believe me, ALL hidden truths about paid agents and hungry journalism will unfold. You know what happens when you know the truth....it sets you free!

=>Kalu is not a saint but he cannot be said to have been in the same league with the Iboris, Dariyes, Alams or Odilis.

---

Nuhu Ribadu said that Kalu stole more than any governor in the history of Nigeria. Should I take his words or yours?

your essay would have been that much better, if you did not come into it with such barely conceived dislike of mr andy uba. i have no liking whatsoever for andy uba either (it is truly hard to like someone who has committed so much mayhem and has so little substance), and i do have a preference for mr ndibe's articles AND stance, but your appraisal is anything but critical. subjective is a better word. a critical appraisal would simply have presented facts, and left it to the reader to judge. that sir, you did not.

But I feel bringing the plight of Okey's people to national limelight by writing in equal zeal social issues of such importance will go a long way in ameliorating their worsening living conditions. His activism should be deployed towards that goal too.

Mr Okenwa,
But for the sentence in bold, your article is what is expected from any person who knows the value of INTERGRITY. My disagreement with the part in bold is that it beggars logic. Prof Okey can not be fighting all the ills of the society which in the case of Nigeria are enormous and entrenched. It is like asking RIBADU to also be fighting ARMED ROBBERS because many of them operate in his village!

Let other people take up those other issues, those who are accusing Prof. Okey are using that as a strategy to weaken his resolve. Please, do not add to such devious intention.

My dear friend SOC,

I'll stick to our tradition of friendly criticism here as I have learnt from you. Without ill feelings, I guess your take is strongly biased against Andy Uba. I do not know much about this fellow. All I do know is that he has a strong case to answer regarding qualifications that he has long been parading and have been credibly called into question. If you called yourself a holder of a doctorate degree in Germany without truly owning one, it is a criminal offence. I wholly agreed with Okey Ndibe in the simple questions he asked Andy Uba to clarify.

At the time the Uba camp responded however, there were doubts cast on the integrity of Okey Ndibe. I also know little or nothing about him. They say he works for a political opponent. Some Ibru and I think (as you rightly mentioned) Orji Kalu.

The implication was that Andy Uba (understandably) could not feel obligated to clarify his soiled reputation at the urging of an opponent. The question mark persists. In the same manner, I have not heard any single response from Okey Ndibe today, to clarify the correlation between his name in the payroll of a political opponent and his zealous attacks.
This has made me digest all these information with caution. We are dealing with two parties that do have questions to answer.

On a personal note buddy: (you may not like this, but I guess you'd permit me to say it for the sake of friendship) when you praise your subjects, you sometimes, do too much lavishing. I guess a single sentence of praise is enough and the reader gets the message. You devoted almost the complete opening of your essay to praises of Okey Ndibe (almost amounting to hero-worshipping my pal).

So fire back with due respect my good friend! Oh lest I forget, merry Christmas in advance to you and your family! May all wishes come true in this season of divine serenity!

Cheers

The only thing that should be subject to "a critical appraisal" about this article is the mental state of its author.

This is a sympathetic attempt at approval prostitution.

SOC, stop trying to suck up to people to create your own "halo effect."

Udokaamah,
You are very right, the mental state of SOC needs critical appraisal. He comes across as someone who has no opinion of his.Just a follow-follow writer. He said Kalu should not be crufied because he is not yet convicted, yet his god, Okey Ndibe has been nailing Andy to the cross when no court has convicted him. Lately, he condemned Ibori when he has not been convicted . We are waiting to see if Okey Ndibe will give equal dose of condemnation to Chris Ngige who was also arrested like Fayose and Ibori.
It is a pity that NVS gives the likes of Okenwa the medium to write rubbish. Anyway, that's cyber democracy!
As if he is being published in reputable journals, he will soon add this to his growing list of yeye articles on NVS in order to celebrate his achievement of writing 200 useless articles.

Nonsense!

Frisky Larr,
At least for once you were sober in your write-ups.
But, permit me to remind you that as the saying goes, those who live in glass houses do not throw stones.
Your advice to SOC is okay but you will do well to heed the same advice yourself in the course of you future writings.
Please, note that I mean no personal attacks on you but in the spirit of fairness, we must remember that those who seek equity must do so with clean hands.
Since we have common interest in the affairs of the country and and have undertaken to contribute our little quota in improving our lot as a people, we owe ourselves a duty to call ourselves to order when we err. No harm meant, really.
Have a very blessed and safe Christmas holidays.

Sam.

Nuhu also said Obasanjo is clean, do you take his words on that too?
