“In 2024, Anambra’s total budget for the Education Ministry stood at about N33 billion” —Ebuka Onyekwelu Anambra was missing in a recent report released about three days ago by the National Examination Council (NECO) outlining the top twelve States across Nigeria where students have five credits in their senior certificate examination, for the year 2024. With Anambra State missing on the list, the report has opened conversations and an outrage against Anambra State Governor, Prof....

“Even as I am writing this, I am still crying.” _________________________ It was more than two thousand years ago, and if I remembered, John was the only male still hanging around after He was crucified and left badly bloodied and hanging on a Crossbeam of two dried pieces of wood. His Mother, Mary, was there, sobbing incessantly. My eyes had dried out. I could only stare vacantly. That was the sacred of all moments in...

“Labour Party, regrettably has not grown beyond the spontaneity of its 2023 outing.” —Ebuka Onyekwelu As of today, Anambra State has been unfortunate with credible opposition political parties and this is a longstanding problem that has become inimical to competitive politics in the State. The People’s Democratic Party – PDP, in Anambra State, for instance, has almost gone into extinction; a former ruling political party in the state whose ticket was synonymous with election victory...

“Until recently as 2019, the late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah proved that any political party can be mainstreamed.” —Ebuka Onyekwelu Major political parties that have gained substantial ground through winning elections have assumed a sense of importance that tends to position them as the god of democracy. In Nigeria, this was the case for the former ruling national political party, the People’s Democratic Party – PDP, before the All Progressives Congress ousted it – APC, in...

“A culture that suppresses their best, experienced, and leading figures can ground the system.” —Ebuka Onyekwelu In a general sense, almost everyone within the Nigerian public service system is patiently waiting for their turn. To wait for one’s turn is beyond merely waiting to assume rulership. It is a worldview that connotes something deeper. A state of ascendancy to the top of the chain, but unaffected and unbothered, with zero responsibility. The more one ascends...

“Are politicians giving up on opposition politics which is a critical democratic content in a struggling country?” —Ebuka Onyekwelu Since the All Progressives Congress – APC, took over Governance in Nigeria in 2015, there has been a near-total collapse of opposition to the National Government. The major opposition which is the Peoples’ Democratic Party – PDP, has been so decimated that it is now an image of its former self. With twelve states, the PDP...

Most mornings, when I wake up, the rays of the risen sun have passed through the six-inch crack up in the wall to rest where they should be…at the very edge of my sleeping mat. If the sharp, tiny rods of illumination were there, I’d trace the gleams of energy through the fissure to reach the rounded star in its most benign form. The one-room house I shared with my parents, Anne and Joachim, served...

“Any society that has some of its best and brightest wanting to govern on its mainstream platforms is safe.” —Ebuka Onyekwelu A critical supposition of the democratic government is that the people themselves will take full ownership of their government by taking full control of their political processes. This is based on the fact that there is no government in a democracy without the political processes. Hence, to take ownership of the government, the people...

“Fubara is a man of immense indiscretion who lacks the political know-how to navigate the troubled waters of Rivers politics.” —Ebuka Onyekwelu If it were to be described in one word, the feud between Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State and Nyesom Wike can be correctly referred to as the balance of terror for very obvious reasons. Nyesom Wike has since gained a reputation for hard talk, with a strongman posturing. He has been consistent...

” If you have an example of white privilege, look no further…” _________________________ A guy fell off a mile-high cliff…a promontory of jagged-edge rocks, dusted off his pants and walked away, smiling wickedly…knowingly. There were no contraptions like a parachute employed by this man to break his fall. He slipped, and screamed his way down, believing he was going to die; aware that there would be no more cold champagne bottles to pop open, and...
