Last Saturday, voters in Anambra State came out in impressive numbers to elect a governor. The stakes were extremely high, and the obstacles formidable, but the people of Anambra did themselves great credit. After it was all over, incumbent Governor Peter Obi made history as the first two-term occupant of the Government House.

To foster this argument, states were created in the south East and as expected, everybody raised fingers to high heavens and sang “Shekelekebangoshea”.
Could it be yet another round of waste of scarce public fund, and looting that must go on, in the name of election?
When the crisis first broke out in 2001 I wrote two articles - Fire on the Plateau and Peace on the Plateau - in which I expressed my perception of the problems that led to the crisis and proffered some solutions. Our discussion today will focus on a roadmap to the future that will be free of these terrible events, when Nigerians on the Plateau will live in peace and prosperity free of mutual suspicion and hatred as their counterparts in other states of the federation.
Whosoever the populace in Anambra State use his name to chant "bomaye" with their votes today, all that Nigerians want to see in Anambra State is free, fair and transparent elections. If the choice of the people prevails, Anambra would be shedding it’s uncomplimentary toga of a political ju (0 comments) Read more...
Hypercorrection is a grammatical error inspired by a false, ill-digested analogy. For example, people who have been taught to avoid “me” in certain contexts (such as “It is me,” which should correctly be “It is I”; “You and me should get together,” which should correctly be “Y (2 comments) Read more...
