  Recall that Mbaka had during his ministry's gathering in Enugu State, said Peter Obi can't be Nigeria's president because he is a stingy person. He declared that unless God ceases to exist, Obi would never smell the seat of the president. Bianca, recounting her experience with Obi, disclosed how the former Anambra Governor refused to buy a $3,985 suit and went for a $220 suit in 2009 just to donate money to help the needy. According to her, if Obi's value is defined as 'stinginess' then Nigeria needs to adopt such a mould for a sustainable environment. Her post on Facebook read: " NO APOLOGIES, PLEASE. On Peter Obi's supposed 'Stinginess'.... "In Life, You either live by your creed or you desecrate the mould by which the Almighty created you. Any progressive nation measures an individual by his values, not his vaults. "If this way of life is what is derided as 'stinginess' on the part of Peter Obi, then we all need to adopt t

EKITI 2022: Shine Your Eyes!

Image
As Ekiti State prepares for the 2022 gubernatorial election, many candidates across political parties are jostling for the number one public position in the state. It is therefore the constitutional right of all the contestants to contest; hence they have not gone contrary to the constitutional provisions. However, I think it is very important for the citizens of the state at this time to adopt and use the slogan “shineyour eyes”. It is no news that public office in Nigeria attracts numerous benefits; little wonder most politicians are dying for it. Most politicians are contesting in elections not because they want to better the lives of the citizens, but rather because of personal gains and influence as is practicable in Nigeria. Our dear state is the “base of intellectuals” across works of life in Nigeria and has indeed suffered set backs and cannot compare with most states in terms of socio-political wellbeing. Not only intellectually are we endowed, but also blessed as well in term

The Gypsy King, 33, insisted he was hanging up his gloves after knocking out Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April. The WBC champ has left fans baffled having retired, then saying he will return for a £200m bout with Anthony Joshua, then making a U-turn on that to suggest he would only be interested in exhibition events. He has now claimed he would take on his fellow Brit – for the audacious sum of £500m. He revealed the figure in an interview with talkSPORT after initially raising hopes of a Battle of Britain bout when speaking to Frank Warren’s Queensbury Promotions on Tuesday. In a confusing series of apparent U-turns, Fury appeared on Good Morning Britain today to state he IS retired and will only enter the ring for “Hollywood style entertainment”. And he has now muddied the waters further, telling talkSPORT, “I’m 100 per cent retired. Nothing’s changed. Everyone’s making all these assu
