Socrates is a Greek philosopher, who had a basic philosophy and dialectical style of debate which was anchored on the pursuit of truth through questions, answers, and more questions. Reports show this had a lot of influence on Plato who in 387 founded the Academy in Athens, which is often described as the first European University. Socrates refused to accept payment for his teachings, maintaining that he had no positive knowledge to offer except the awareness of the need for more knowledge. He believed that ignorance was the only source of evil, and that it is improper to act out of ignorance or to accept moral instruction from those who have not proven their own wisdom. Instead of relying blindly on any established norm or tradition, people should unceasingly question their own beliefs and that of others in order to get genuine wisdom.

It is often said that "the evil that is in the world always comes from ignorance, and the understanding that even good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence is an informed mind. The most incorrigible vice being that of an ignorance that fancies it knows everything and therefore claims for itself the right of absolute truth. The soul of the unenlightened is blind; and there can be no true goodness nor true love without the utmost clear-sightedness which only comes from a richly informed soul.”

Certainly, the use of the internet and related digital media has exploded globally in the last few decades due to advancement in technology. Despite the positive values of the internet and these digital media, especially in the areas of providing access to information resources over geographical distances without barriers; critical thinking and reading which have been identified as an academic or intellectual exercise for knowledge transfer and innovations, are presently stifled by the persistent use of the Internet; and the culture of reading and thinking are fast fading away into the thin air due to this fray.

Critical thinking being the ability to think clearly and reasonably about what to do or believe also, requires the capacity to think critically and independently. It involves the use of creative thought to construct an argument, solve problems, or reach a conclusion in the most basic sense than just believing everything you hear or read especially on the Internet. Every enlightened person’s path to enlightenment begins with self-awareness. And one of the most fundamental purposes of education is to produce well-informed minds, which implies that students must be able to grasp significant, useful, beautiful, as well as powerful ideas and information not only about their course of study but life in general about the inner and outer connection of current events as they concern life.

Ignorance has been identified as a silent killer that slowly destroys a nation from within. It's like a disease that spreads through the minds of people, affecting their decisions, actions, and ultimately, the fate of the entire people in a given society. It is a dangerous force that can destroy the social harmony of a people in a given society. Our knowledge of history and realities of life has been patchy for some time. In 2012, a survey found that two thirds of those aged 16-30 didn’t know what year the First World War ended, over half didn’t know what year it began or what actually caused the war. To some, the highest and only book they read or can explain is the Bible or Quran. outside these, nothing else makes much sense or worth giving attention and that alone remains the foundation of our every expanding problem in Africa.

I firmly believe that anyone who draws the conclusion before viewing the evidence is operating from ignorance. The problem is, if you already believe you know the answer before you look for any information, then you will ignore any information that does not support your conclusion because you are not looking for that information. It is not, and can never be, science.

The enlightened person is insightful and open-minded. He is able to see the world with great clarity, without attachment to preconceived ideas about people, places, and things. This enables him to observe the world without jumping to conclusions. Belief and intuition are replaced with clarity of vision and understanding. The enlightened person has great inner strength. He has learned healthy ways of connecting with the sources of spiritual nourishment -- through healthy interactions with people, and within. He no longer has a need for the power struggles that most of us engage in. Overall, the enlightened person is mindful of himself, and the world around him. Furthermore, he is curious and willing to continue learning. He is aware that even though he can see with great clarity, developing an understanding of the true nature of our existence takes time to observe and investigate.

The psychological phenomenon known as "social proof" leads people to imitate the actions of others in an effort to reflect seemingly appropriate behavior. People who lack awareness struggle to put themselves in other people's shoes or view issues from the opposing side. They are more comfortable with the position of the crowd or the established norm than questioning facts and figures that brought the result. This defect has not only lead to dearth of creative innovation among this generation, the greatest danger is the mass breeding of ignorance generation with no single sense of their own. The expected result is not only mind-boggling, it is very scary to imagine a generation who believes everything they read or told.

The Political Dangers of Emotion: The Clear Demarcation Between Reality and politics of Illusion
By
Martins Chiedozie Ugwu
Johnmartinsworldonline@gmail.com

"When political spectators and actors subject politics to one universal perspective by depriving themselves of their ability to see and hear others, they simply imprisoned themselves in the subjectivity of their own singular experience and the consequence is a drastic distortion of moral and political judgment clouded by emotion and sentiment."

For decades now, a number of scholars have started to consider the role of emotions in political judgment, political mobilization and decision-making. Even some normative political theorists have included emotions in their research agenda and challenged, also from within the field of normative political theory, the dominant hyper rationalist liberal perspective. Here I will try to attempt to widen our understanding of the complex and multidimensional role played by emotions in politics, especially as it relates to the personality of political leaders and as an explanation for how the electorates evaluate significant features around them.

Perhaps the mysterious character of emotion has been largely to blame for the difficulty of executing scientific studies of emotion in politics. Also perhaps responsible is the dominant view in political theory that progress and democratic politics require less emotion and more reason. It has been common, at least for decades now, to treat emotion as an unavoidable factor in politics that should be constrained and minimized so that reason dictates judgment with minimal distraction. Though emotions may be important as subjective motives for individual action, my point here is that they should neither be aired in public nor be made the basis for collective action. Just as excitement can cause one to overestimate his/her chances of success, emotions can also disfigure politics and political movements or decisions should be based on rational argument, not passion or illusion.

But unfortunately, in this part of the world, it seems like our political debates and discourse largely centers on emotion rather than on the basis of realities and politics of ideology. Because in general, not just in politics, we have allowed our emotions to cloud our sense of reasoning. Even in our private lives, the pressure arising from or the quest for things that don't really matter in life, will continue to remain the greatest challenge facing us as a people and that is emotion directing our sense of judgment. The worst is when we replace reasons and right judgment with sentiments or emotion. As we get so emotional or heavily attached to certain dogmatic ideologies which usually provide us with a false sense of meaning about life especially as it concerns politics of development and when to separate emotion from politics. It calls for a sense of worry when there is no classification of our political parties on the basis of ideological differences or sound political ideology. And it has become more important now than ever, for us to begin to divorce completely from emotion while passing political judgment or lending our political support to our preferred candidates and it is only when we do that we can understand the clear gap between political opposition and enmity in real life which is what we have taken in places of political opposition or ideological differences. Only when we separate emotion from politics will we understand better the role of the majority in a democratic setting and the grave consequences of identity politics.

So it will be beneficial to the entire country if we begin to argue about our candidates on the basis of what they actually represent, what they have done in the past both in public and private life and not what they are telling us they are or what you are hearing about them. Yes, I believe and know that people of all temperaments, personality types, and personal/professional backgrounds can be great leaders, and that they can lead quite differently and still be successful. So like I said earlier, I believe that there are certain traits that are foundational traits of effective leaders which we should always look out for in any candidate of our choice before lending our support. You cannot be great or emerge as a transcendental leader without those traits which I will outline in the next publication. Because you cannot build trust without them. And the trick to measuring leadership is to measure a leader’s effectiveness.

Finally, as the general election draws closer, it is important we understand that political opposition is not enmity and should not be attached with emotion but reasons. I found it appalling that intellectual discourse is fast eroding in our political contests and decisions. That a certain candidate is good to you doesn't make that person a good leader or the best candidate. That a certain candidate is from the same region or tribe with you does not give the person automatic victory or qualification to make the best leader. Inasmuch we need effective leadership, we seem to lay more emphasis on the issues that don't really count than the real deal needed for transforming a backward society like ours. Instead of the candidate's health and mental capacity, it is senseless when we lay more emphasis on the candidate's tribe, zone or age which shouldn't be the basis of our argument. Even though we are aware that age can't be ruled out when considering effective delivery in some positions, we have seen several world leaders, far above retirement age but still delivering leadership excellence to their people. It is in the brain, not the tribe or age. What is important here is sound health and mental capacity.

A Man of Empathy Remains The Man of The Moment, Happy Birthday To Hon. Uche Kelvin Edeh - Chiedozie Ugwu

The month of October is not only starting off with a true cosmic blessing, especially when Libra sits across the sky from Jupiter in Aries, the month of October is also beginning with the news of the birthday of one of the finest, most accomplished and innovative tech experts in Africa, the CEO of the Hook Ninjas Ltd, Africa's largest Tech Giant, Hon. Kelvin Uche Edeh.

Being able to demonstrate empathy creates trust and trust in turn creates an empowering, honest relationship with the team members. This increases collaboration and productivity and because empathy they say is one of the most revered traits innovative leaders can demonstrate - which is the ability to understand and relate to the emotions of another, as well as the ability to demonstrate that you know what the other person is feeling and responding accordingly. So for anyone who has come in contact with Hon. Uche Kelvin Edeh, you will know that his empathic nature and innovative mindset is worthy of celebration. Sir, as you mark your birthday today being 1st October 2022, I will not only celebrate you, I equally pray that the blessings and favour of God be upon your life for greater service to God and humanity.

The Faces of Enugu Party Merchants and Their Collaborators: Their Roles in Murdering Opposition and Development In The State (Part 1 of 5)

In Nigeria today, democracy and conscientious leadership is under threat with the prevalence of weak and irresponsible leadership regimes all over the country and the role of opposition in a democracy is an under-studied subject and has not received adequate importance by researchers across the country. This write up focuses on the bibliometric analysis of the role of opposition in democratic system, the implications of weak opposition, the actors and their role in underdeveloping the state. They say "freedom and responsible government dies when criticism ends”

The opposition is an unavoidable part of a democracy. And according to Schapiro, it is “an organized political group with the aims to oust the government in power and to replace it by one of its own choosing”. The opposition must be able to express their opinion, present alternative policy options and take part in the policy discussion and debates. It is often said that the principle of legitimate political opposition is one of the most fundamental components of liberal democracy. Real democracy is impossible without opposition. One cannot think of a democratic set up without a healthy and vigilant opposition. So for the success of any democratic regime, an effective opposition must be able to perform its functions fearlessly and effectively. The opposition works for the rights of the people. History teaches us that freedom and development dies when criticism ends and that brings to question how self acclaimed opposition leaders in Enugu state contributed to the death of development and growth of Irresponsible leadership.

Just before the deregistration of political parties by the (INEC), there are 92 political parties in the country and it will shock you to know that these 92 political parties have their presence in Enugu state but not even a single day will you hear any of them engaging in discussion or debates about the state government's policy formulation and its implementation, apart from the news of their internal leadership struggle. And one will ask, what is special about Enugu state politics, what is their voting power and also one would have expected that the huge presence of political parties in the state will amount to healthy and intellectual political debates or discussion among players.

Presently we have 18 political parties and as usual almost all of them have presence or representatives in the state. I called it representatives because apart from the party chairmen, about 15 out of the eighteen political parties don't have any other executive outside their chairman. They shuttle between Enugu and Abuja shopping for the position of party chairmen. Abuja party leaders know them very well. They are well known merchants in the industry. It doesn't matter to them the ideology or manifesto of the party, they must become a political party chairman in the state. They not only buy the product (political party) for themselves, they usually buy it for their apprentices. They have boys, they share political parties and they give them return at the end of the day, just as they also give return to owners of the wares (parties) there in Abuja. Every election year, they occupy the position of party chairmen or apply to contest for any of the elected positions in the state not really to participate in any real election but for the sole purpose of trading in this line of business. What are they selling, or which business are they into? That will be a discussion for another day.

In the part II of these series, I will be bringing to you, the many business opportunities for party chairmen in the state, how they operate, their identities and their role in murdering opposition and stalling meaningful development in the state.

A man is not truly armoured with integrity until he has become incapable of lying or deceiving others either by gesture, word, or act; until he sees, clearly, and openly, and freed from all doubts, the deadly effects of such moral turpitude. So the enlightened man is protected from all quarters, and can no more be undermined or fooled by dishonest men that the sun can be pulled down from heaven if not appeased, and the arrows of selfishness and treachery that may be poured upon him will rebound from his strong armour of his fake integrity and the bright shield of his self fabricated righteousness.

Existentialism is a philosophical perspective which attempts to explain human existence and experience. This approach is based on the ideology that we as humans are free beings and therefore have the authorship over our destiny. But in a society in which nearly everybody is dominated by somebody else's mind or by a disembodied mind, it becomes increasingly difficult to learn the true realities of life. And even though we are not slaves in name, and cannot be carried to market and sold as somebody else's legal chattels, we are free only within narrow limits. For all our talk about liberation and personal autonomy, we are bound to act to follow the slavery mentality and believing everything we are told because to us, there are few choices that we are free to make but that is not true.

As a thinker and researcher, I spend the greater part my day fighting with the demons in my head over the issues regarding the state of humanity, the self induced human disaster in Africa, the western suppression and economic pillage, the excessive greed among the rich and the untold hatred in the midst of the poor. The human bickery and envy, the pursuit for wealth and fame and most especially to what extent we go faking ourselves to impress a mere mortal in a struggle to belong or be counted.

Like James Allen wrote, from the beginning of time, man, in spite of his bodily appetites and desires, in the midst of all his clinging to earthly and impermanent things, has ever been intuitively conscious of the limited, transient, and illusionary nature of his material existence, and in his sane and silent moments has tried to reach out into a comprehension of the Infinite, and has turned with tearful aspiration toward the restful Reality of the Eternal Heart.

Even though we are technically advanced as a people, we are traveling back when it comes understanding or to seeking the real meaning and truth about life. We have no clue about what's going on with us and what our actual job on earth is and that is why we behave the way we do more especially in this part of the world. That is why we are capable of killing one another mercilessly, that is why we take greater comfort seeing the suffering of another. And with the accumulation of temporal comforts and luxuries, the dignity within men is drugged and they sink deeper and deeper into materiality, into perishable life of the senses and where there is sufficient intellect, theories concerning the immortality of the flesh come to be regarded as infallible truth.

Indeed when a man's soul is clouded with selfishness in any or every form, he loses the power of spiritual discrimination, and confuses the temporal with the eternal, the perishable with the permanent, mortality with immortality, and error with truth. It is thus that the world has come to be filled with theories and speculations having no foundation in the realities of human experience. Every body of flesh contains within itself, from the hour of birth, the elements of its own destruction, and by the unalterable law of its own nature must it pass away. The perishable in the universe can never become permanent; the permanent can never pass away; the mortal can never become immortal. The immortal can never die. The temporal cannot become eternal nor the eternal become temporal and appearance can never become reality.

Indeed life is intelligently designed, ruled by immutable laws, and survives only because it has a built-in facilitated variation mechanism for continually adapting to internal and external challenges and changes. Yet, not even the greatest of philosophers, spiritualists and scientists can fully understand the working of life, its beginning and the end. Some of those who attained what others viewed as the greatest wisdom, like Descartes, Socrates, Hume, the Buddha and the Taoists all agree that the greatest challenge facing humanity is mass ignorance. Our inability to query existing norms or tradition. Our lack of knowledge to grab the simple understanding of the reality of human mortality.

How does one explain why almost everyone in the world keeps praying for a dead body lying in the state, asking God to accept his/her soul, yet I haven't seen or heard of a book including the holy bible. q'uran, The Tipitaka, The Vedas And The Upanishads of Hindu World, The Tanakh And The Talmud of Judaism, not even The Kojiki and the rest that give credence to that such arrogant and barbaric practice of praying for a dead body which is no different from log of wood.

Only an enlightened soul will understand why you shouldn't border yourself much about life. Only enlightenment will enable you understand how stupid and foolish it is to envy one another. Only enlightenment will make you understand how arrogant and barbaric it is to see people bragging about their material possessions, beauty or positions. It is only deep knowledge of life that will humble you to understand that there is no competition to win, we are all just players who will surely leave the stage after a while. Being ambitious is a good thing. Yes, having the strongest will power to achieve an exceptional goal is the joy of the World but you must not pull another person down to get the said job down. For what reason will you bicker because the other person is doing well, what will it increase in you if he is poor and suffering. Can you justify why you support or propagate an art that subject the larger population to suffering and agony because you feel you are benefiting from the system. Can you convince yourself why you take the live of another when it is certain that his or her destiny will not and can never be transferred to you and if you do that for fame or wealth, my question to you is 'will that make you to live up to 200 years and even if so, what happen after the 200 years, you return to dust.

Take it from me, enlightenment brings emancipation and like Frederick Douglas said "Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave to anyone.

CNPP Mourns hiChief Enechi Onyia

To the good of Enugu state, the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), the Ohaneze Ndigbo, and the Family of Chief Bar. Enechi Onyia ( SAN), we sympathise with you and urge you to take solace from the fact that the ripples he created lives on.

We pray that God his soul eternal peace,

Local government is multi-purpose body responsible for delivering a broad range of services in relation to roads, water, housing and
community development and provision of other social amenity but it is quiet worrisome when an elected local government executive totally neglect their major responsibilities like good road and clean water to drink and for domestic use.

The above contain in a statement released by the Enugu state leadership of United Patriots [UP] personally signed by the chairman of the party in the state, Hon. Michael Ndubuisi. He said "Reducing the distance between people, markets and services or simply 'getting people connected' - is a great part of what economic growth and development is all about"

According to him, although virtual connectivity has become increasingly important today with the emergence of new communication avenues but a good and reliable transport network remains vital if a society must advance. There is a very strong positive correlation between economic development and the quality of its road network and clean water. But unfortunately, here in Oduma, we are living like we are in 18th Century world, where the community car owners have to park their cars like 20 kilometers away from home because there is no motorable road to pass. This is our situation in Oduma community in Aninri local government area, where the only source of drinkable water is from an unimaginable mould water where the entire community depend on for their domestic water need, at a time several diseases and pandemic are ravaging the world.

It sound unbelievable and irritating that in a 21 century world, that such an important agrarian community like Oduma don't have roads. No clean water to drink in an area that won't cost government much to drill and distribute water. What happened to the monthly allocation to the local government. How about the revenue. Can the local government chairman, Mr. Ezekiel Chukwu explain to the good people of Aninri where he kept the monthly allocation or is he telling us there is no allocation coming to Aninri local government or it has been diverted as usual.

Therefore it has becomes necessary now than ever to call upon the local government chairman and his executives to sit up to their responsibilities, at least build the road leading to Oduma and drill bohole to save lives from untimely death and another pandemic likely cholera or other water borne diseases in the state.

Is so shameful and unbecoming that almost the entire villages in Oduma
lives in a pitiable condition of lack of road and portable water including Uhuagu Amokwe, Uhuogbeke Amokwe, Amaeke Etiti, Amaeke, mmavu and other villages. No one won't vomit when you see the type of water this community is drinking from. I cry answer weep for the poor masses here everyday especially people who don't even know what is water guard to use and add to the water.

And one will be quick to ask, If truly the local government is in the hand of God, why should God allow his people to suffer such untold hardship and agony. The people of Oduma are really seeing it all. Just go and look at the kind of water people drink here, very contaminated water filled with blue algae and other harmful microbes and you say we have a local government chairman. What is his duties and functions as the executive chairman of the local government, non of them the leaders can allow their pig to drink such water talk of human being and no nobody is talking.

I make bold to state here that the local government chairman and his executive should know that next election is coming, and it will not only be a disappoint to them on the out come, we will shame them to their faces for such irresponsibility and lack of human face to the good of Oduma and Aninri people in general. And am very happy that the people are becoming more informed and politically enlightened to make a choice and we will continue to educate them.

The state Chairman Hon. Ndubuisi stated that the party in the state will continue to expose the incompetent nature of the chairman and his executives before cholera ravage the entire community and the state in general. We can no more keep quiet in the face of imminent danger and disaster because the people of Oduma deserve better.

Mark Helprin wrote “Perhaps passing through the gates of death is like passing quietly through the gate in a pasture fence. On the other side, you keep walking, without the need to look back. No shock, no drama, just the lifting of a plank or two in a simple wooden gate in a clearing. Neither pain, nor floods of light, nor great voices, but just the silent crossing of a meadow."

Speaking to press , the state Chairman of CNPP Enugu State, Chief Adonis Igwe JP, he said At a time in a our country when the experience of the skillful politicians and expertise are needed to pilot the affairs of the country to a safe state, we lost one of the pillars of Nigeria unity and true face democracy and humanity, Abdulkadir Balarabe Musa Is not just a legend, he is an embodiment of dogedness and opposition in the country being that he is one of the founding member of CNPP and a custodian of peace and development of our dear Nation Nigeria.

On behalf of the entire members of CNPP Enugu state, we commiserate with family the family, the entire members and friends of CNPP , especially to Eze-ogbozora 1 of Opi, Chief Willy Ezugwu, the foremost and secretary general of CNPP world wide, all the members of opposition and all those lovers of democracy.

We equally sympathise with the governor of Kaduna State and the government and all the good people of this country.

Politics In The Church: Horror and The Untold Pathetic Story of Anglican PriestsPolitics In The Church: Horror and The Untold Pathetic Story of Anglican Priests.

On 13th January 2013, Senior African Anglican leaders lined up to denounce the Church of England's decision to allow celibate gay
bishops, warning it would only widen the divisions within the worldwide Anglican Communion.

The former Archbishop of Abuja Province and Primate of the Church of Nigeria in the Anglican Communion Nicholas Okoh said "is one step removed from the moral precipice" and they stood their ground till today and I applaud them for such bold step especially as regard to morality and right ethics but what these leaders did not do advance the church in the country was to look into the welfare of the priest and the relationship between the Church priests and the bishops in the diocese. This is because of the pathetic stories and dangerous politiking going in the church and if not checked or well handled, one day, you won't be shocked to hear that priests fought with their bishop.

In Nigeria today, many concern observers are of the opinion that condition of the priests of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion has deteriorated to pitiable state especially in the eastern part of the country.

A family friend, whose wife is a close friend to my sister was telling her the other day that her husband has not been paid since the creation of the diocese in state of Enugu. Findings shows that while the bishops lives in such opulent lifestyle with their kids in choice schools abroad at the expense of the priests who are the field workers, the priests are bickering because of untold hardship, bully and living in perpetual fear.

In the eastern part of the country, no priest stay beyond the age of 65 years but that is quiet different from what is obtainable in other part of the country. It sound shocking and unbelievable that the church leaders who suppose to be reference point to true democracy and right leadership turns out to be the opposite and findings shows that the priests has no role in choosing their Bishop because it has become a tradition in the church that the successor will chose whom he want to succeed him, turning the sacred house of God into a battle ground for political sheniganism, breeding anger and acrimony among priests thereby threatening the overall peace between the priests and their representatives especially their bishops.

This is no doubt a country where these Bishops are challenging politicians on right etiquette especially ensuring the enthronment of democratic principles in choosing our leaders, but a simple check at the activities of these bishops in their various constituencies will reveal to you worst than what our everyday Nigeria politicians display especially whenever election is involved and one will be quick why in the church, what is the bishop afraid or why does he want to appoint his replacement at all cost? These questions remains unanswered and seeking for answers.

Today in Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, priests fear Bishops more than they fear God. This totally negate the teaching of the Holy Bible and the principle of humility which is to embrace and promote a spirit of service and humility and I have no doubt that these are the hallmarks of Anglican Church. This Master-House Boy relationship is not unconnected with the demigod statue arrogated to themselves by these Bishops and this is very unhealthy for the growth and spiritual wellbeing of the church.

As concerned parishioner who understand very well the politics and activities going on in the church especially in Enugu state, I call upon the church leadership especially the Primate to move beyond hearsay and set up special team to look into the welfare of these priests, the allowance owed to priests in one of the newly created diocese in Enugu, and see to the dismantling of this demigod stature of some Bishops who lord themselves on their priests like the military tyrants. And unless this is done, the tales and shocks that will emit from the church will be disastrous, unhealthy and will serve the church no good.

Yerima 2023 : The Man Nigeria Need-Comrade Mbah Ugochukwu,

Exclusive Interview with Comrade Mbah Ugochukwu, The Coordinator Southeast for Yerima 2023 .

Comrade Mbah who is a vibrant reformer and a well known activist cum politician with high network of young people at the grassroot across the South East States of Nigeria and beyond under his control, in this interview addressed some national issues of interest and why he is rooting for His Excellency Sen. Ahmed Rufai Sani Yerima come 2023 general election.

According to Comrade Mbah, Nigeria at a time like this need a disciplinarian, a detribalized man with high tolerance for a robust opposition and development of the country including human right and is only His Excellency Sen. Ahmed Rufai Sani Yerima can fit-in very well into this rare qualities in leadership.

Comrade Mbah who is also the Aninri local government Chairman of CNPP, pointed out that Sen. Yerima's humble beginning and career is a boost for his chances to govern the country and his strong political will and empathy will be of great advantage to the nation Nigeria if given opportunity to lead the country.

Speaking further, he said His Excellency Sen. Sani Yarima was elected governor of Zamfara State in 1999 . He was re-elected in 2003for a second term, which ended on 29 May 2007 . Yarima was the first Nigerian Governor to implement Sharia law in his state, which came into effect on 27 January 2000 . Zamfara's law adopted Sharia in its entirety, with the exceptions that apostasy was not criminalized and all sentences can be appealed to Nigeria's Federal Courts, which do not permit traditional Hudud punishments.

In his words, Comrade Ugochukwu Mbah stated that the former governor has always stressed his commitment to Nigeria as a multi-faith society. And is not debatable that then during the time of Sen. Yerima as governor of Zamfara that All non- Muslims in Zamfara are able to choose civil law rather than Sharia law when faced with legal

Yerima 2023 : The Man Nigeria Need-Comrade Mbah Ugochukwu,

Exclusive Interview with Comrade Mbah Ugochukwu, The Coordinator Southeast for Yerima 2023 .

Comrade Mbah who is a vibrant reformer and a well known activist cum politician with high network of young people at the grassroot across the South East States of Nigeria and beyond under his control, in this interview addressed some national issues of interest and why he is rooting for His Excellency Sen. Ahmed Rufai Sani Yerima come 2023 general election.

According to Comrade Mbah, Nigeria at a time like this need a disciplinarian, a detribalized man with high tolerance for a robust opposition and development of the country including human right and is only His Excellency Sen. Ahmed Rufai Sani Yerima can fit-in very well into this rare qualities in leadership.

Comrade Mbah who is also the Aninri local government Chairman of CNPP, pointed out that Sen. Yerima's humble beginning and career is a boost for his chances to govern the country and his strong political will and empathy will be of great advantage to the nation Nigeria if given opportunity to lead the country.

Speaking further, he said His Excellency Sen. Sani Yarima was elected governor of Zamfara State in 1999 . He was re-elected in 2003for a second term, which ended on 29 May 2007 . Yarima was the first Nigerian Governor to implement Sharia law in his state, which came into effect on 27 January 2000 . Zamfara's law adopted Sharia in its entirety, with the exceptions that apostasy was not criminalized and all sentences can be appealed to Nigeria's Federal Courts, which do not permit traditional Hudud punishments.

In his words, Comrade Ugochukwu Mbah stated that the former governor has always stressed his commitment to Nigeria as a multi-faith society. And is not debatable that then during the time of Sen. Yerima as governor of Zamfara that All non- Muslims in Zamfara are able to choose civil law rather than Sharia law when faced with legal

proceedings. Rights of non-Muslims to pray, preach and build places of worship were secured and reinforced. The mandatory closing

of shops on Friday and the banning of certain services, such as video rental shops, only applies to Muslim businesses.

Comrade Mbah noted that Yerima's expertise will be of great advantage to the country because having continued his early career with the Sokoto state civil service as an economic planning officer in the ministry of finance. Worked with the national directorate of employment as well as the CBN . He was later returned to sokoto state civil service as the director of budget in the ministry of finance.

Mbah reaffirmed that Sen. Yerima's wealth of knowledge and wisdom is what Nigeria need to pilot the country to a greater height. In final words Comrade Mbah pointed out that Yerima is not a butterfly politician and one of the few persons still standing as the foundation member of APC, for being elected into the Nigeria Senate 2007 under ANPP. re elected again 2011 under same platform. Arrow head for the formation of APC, that he was even arrested for speaking out that INEC should register APC 2013 . Never cross carpeted. He's the best choice for Nigeria president 2023

The place of Governor Ugwuanyi in the fight against coronavirus By CNPP

Great leaders find the balance between business foresight, performance, and character. They have vision, courage, integrity including humility and focus along with the ability to plan strategically and catalyze cooperation amongst their team, just like they say, the price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of expertise and commitment to the task at hand and it is on this note that the leadership of CNPP in Enugu state commend the executive governor of Enugu state, His Excellency Rt. Hon. Dr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi on his doggedness and pragmatic approach to check the spread of this highly contagious coronavirus in the state.

The CNPP leadership maintained that the governor has shown that decision making is essential for survival in a challenging time like this and that right leadership is not about noise making, yes the obvious fact here remains that Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is a silent achiever.

At a press conference, the CNPP leadership in the state stated that they are satisfied with the way the governor is handling the invisible enemy called coronavirus and that the effort of the governor put the minds of the people of Enugu state at peace having taken the necessary steps and measures required to checkmate the spread of the virus.

Speaking to newsmen, The state CNPP boss, Chief Adonis Igwe JP pointed that the very low rate of the infection in the state is not only a show of a well planned strategy and approach put in place by the governor and his team, it also prove to satisfaction that governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is no doubt a good manager of affliction and a practical reflection of a leader who is in touch with the reality of life. Decisiveness they say is the one word that makes a good manager.

According to Chief Igwe, by now one would expect that Enugu state like some other regional capitals will be ravaged by the spread of the virus but facts shows that Enugu is one of the least state in the spread of the virus despite the location and many other difficulties.

Speaking further, Chief Igwe pointed out that at a time like this, all hands need to be on desk and call on everyone in the state to see this battle against the invisible enemy as a personal business instead of leaving all the responsibilities to the governor or some few selected persons as no single man can do this alone, it require the collective effort of everybody to see to the defeat of this enemy called coronavirus.

He called on the market leaders across the state to understand that the world not just Enugu state is at war with this enemy and that the governor's decisions and steps so far are for their best interest as no Great Leader take pride in losing any of his soldiers in a war and His Excellency Rt.

He noted that this is not the time to lay accusing finger or blame on anyone nothing that we should understand that we are at war, a war without bullet or ammunition. This is a war without troops or tanks but the good news is that this war can be defeated only when there is cooperation, respect to the authority and individual's effort in maintaining social distancing and reporting any suspected case in the neighborhood. With these, victory is ours.

Where is the 320 million naira Released By Enugu State Govt. By CNPP

The leadership of CNPP Enugu State hereby request for accountability of the sum of 320 million naira recently released by His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Dr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, the Executive Governor of Enugu State to check the spread of the deadly coronavirus in the state.

Rising from their emergency executive meeting in Enugu, the leadership of the body said they are worried by the attitude of some local government chairmen who have shown little or no visible effort in readiness of any brake out of the deadly virus.

Speaking thru their state Chairman, Chief Adonis Igwe JP, the CNPP body frowned at the attitude of some local government chairmen and some officials who have not made any donation to hospitals and health centres than buying buckets and doing eye service and warn that such attitude will spell doom for the state if not checked and pro active measure taken and advise them to desist from cosmetic approach to this serious issue at hand hence it concern life and according the body, CNPP dont want to loose any soul in the state as it is the responsibility of the leadership of CNPP to see to adequate implementation of government policy and improve the lives of every human as sworn in the oath of office.

In a statement signed by Chief Igwe JP, the body advise that appropriate measure should be taking like equipping and repositioning our various health centres and hospitals in the rural areas in readiness for any out brake of the virus in the various local government areas in the state.

Is important that we try as much as possible to protect our health workers by equipping them with protective gears and creating some level of good and safety atmosphere that will motivate them to take care of the victims.

The body warn that is not only about sharing money to town union for sensitization and buying of tap buckets and hand sanitizers for the few, in fact we are shocked that no local government in the state has sponsored any radio program in respect to this, being that radio is one of the cheapest means of communication. This is despite the millions of naira shared to the local government chairmen for this reason.

So CNPP is asking all the relevant agencies and officials to sit up to their responsibilities as this virus knows no face when it want to attack. And advise them to think on the direction of equipping the health centres and hospitals. The body wonders why the nurses at ESUT TEACHING HOSPITAL were protesting if actually their demands were met in terms of their safety and advise all the relevant agencies to do the needful.

According to the body, from the information at our disposal, it really very unfortunate that some market leaders in collaboration with local government chairmen, are now exhorting up to N2000 from people to enable them open their shops. Our intelligent gatherings shows that this is taking place in some local government espsocially Nsukka local government area. The body warns any local government chairman partaking in this shameful and wicked dealing to desist or face the wrath of CNPP.

Also, the body berate the attitude of some security agencies and task force enforcing the coronavirus policy on motorists and shop owners and warned that this is not a time for extortion and brutality on anyone as the entire world is feeling the heat of the economic situation. The body therefore call on state commissioner of police to call his men to order and stop making life more difficult for the motorists by way of extortion.

Chief Igwe who said he is worried that the just announced federal government conditional cash transfer to the vulnerable is yet to get to the people of the state and call upon the federal government to please expedite action before another pandemic called starvation brake out in view of the lock down.

_*"When people refuse to pay the price of personal responsibility for the problems of the nation, these same people end up paying the high price of irresponsibility, which is often in tragedy and sorrow*_- _Sunday Adelaja, a Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian of Nigeria origin and the founder of the Embassy of the Blessed Kingdom of God for All Nations.

Before now, millions of people across Nigeria and other African Countries are starving and forced to live a life in the absence of basic amenities. They are dying every minute of curable diseases, they do not have food, clothes, and homes to live safe and healthy even though they are struggle on daily bases and a human government not animal ask this same people to sit at home for days if not weeks without any reasonable palliative measure in place to cushion the effect of this sit at home, simply because they hear other leaders asking their people to sit at home. This is a society which the greater percent of their citizens are survival on daily struggle. What a government we have in African. Ordinarily any right thinking person will be forced to ask if we are being ruled by animals or human beings. Who is formulating policy for these beasts.

So Dangote and the likes can donate such huge money to respond to emergency like this as if the coronavirus is worse than the extreme poverty and other diseases ravaging the continent for decades. It is interesting to know that their recent action is simply because the coronavirus seems like the virus for the rich. Because for decades, extreme poverty, deprivation and crises have been ravaging this continent and these are not natural occurrence but it is these same bourgeois whose societal concerns are the value of their property and the preservation of capital to ensure the perpetuation of their economic supremacy in society.

Don't get me wrong. We not an enemy of the so called rich but am a die hard opposition to exploitative tendencies and unjust policy especially when it affect the poor. Because before now, none of these recent philanthropist have deems it necessary to come together or join forces like this to see to the end of extreme poverty and diseases in Africa or take step to renovate primary and secondary schools in the country or build one of the state of the art hospitals across the 36 states in Nigeria, not even an industry for our teaming youth but they are now gathering in numbers, raising billions to curtail the spread of the deadly virus simply because it affects them. Very selfish deadly merchants.

To them, the poor are lazy and their wealth is as result of their own innovation and hard work, but unfortunate we know the source of so called wealth. They are the cause of the poverty in Africa. They sabotaged every sound policy of the government for their selfish agenda. They wouldn't mind starving entire community or throwing entire nation into war thru their wicked and exploitative policies backed by their cronies in the government and outside the shores of Africa to hold unto power or remain on top economically.

In your ignorance and wickedness, you ask Nigerians to sit at home, without asking them how they will feed themselves and their families simply because you have looted more than enough to squander. You locked down the state and close down markets, with price of basic goods skyrocketing and you sit down in your comfort houses without minding the resultant effect of your stupid policy. Check your senses.

Is important we remind you all of the adage that says "A child who will not let his mother sleep will also have no peace." As a government, your primary responsibility is the welfare of your people. Nigerians are not asking you to feed them but all they are asking is just a space to struggle on their own.

While other leaders across the world are busy scrambling for right policy to cushion the effect of the lock down, sanitizing their environment and building new facilities for quick medical test for the coronavirus, all our governors can do is shut down their close their market meant for the poor masses and shut their borders and go to sleep. A complete show of lack of idea and reflection of gross ineptitude on the side our rulers. African leadership from president to counsellor is a disgrace to humanity.

To all the ministers and the looters of our common wealth, may you never escape this deadly virus. May your stinking body be taking to that very hospital you failed to equip. May you find no space to be admitted in that hospital you refuse to build and may that your useless stolen wealth refuse to save you from this deadly virus.

To the western countries who made sure they crippled the development of Africa, we pray that their economy cripple to zero as a result of the devastation from the coronavirus. May the anger of God be upon their leaders involve in the wicked policy against the growth and development of Africa.

To our rulers, is time to learn and rethink your actions against the poor masses. In the face of current events in the global community, Africa Nations and Nigeria in particular cannot afford to lag-behind in addressing the issue of this deadly disease called coronavirus.

But what do we see here in Africa, a government that presents to her people the option of being killed by the coronavirus or starvation. An insensitive and mayopic administractive with their stupid policies that impoverish the poor the more. I pray the anger of God never depart from your household.

As Nigeria wait patiently to hear their president address them, and one wonder what they expect to hear from a government that is proud to give their citizens less than $28 as start up.

Finally, like other numerous failed policy of our governments, this sit at home will still fail because real men will prefer to risk contacting the virus than sit at home and watch his family languish in starvation.

Proud to be an African but ashamed to have these idiots dictate my living.

GDPN Call for Total Cancellation of the just Concluded Local Government Election in Enugu state

The chairmanship candidate of the party Hon. Nnamdi Omeje has called for total cancellation of the purported local government election insisting that the elections did not meet the requirements of the Electoral Act and fall short of any standard in election any where in the world.

According to the leadership of the party, "having reviewed all the field reports from its unit agents who participated in the chairmanship and Counselorship election of 29th February 2020 in Enugu state, we hereby states as follows:

1. That the elections purported to have been held in the state on the aforementioned date should be cancelled outright for the following reasons:

A. That the election was marred by irregularities and ballot box snatching including diversion of electoral materials like never seen in the history of election in the state.

B. That the ruling party (PDP) took the ballot boxes, ballot papers and result sheets in Alor-uno ward to an unknown destination which I later learnt they went to the Sacred Adada House to doctor the result and later came out to give some agent result sheets without counting the ballot sheets. And this was executed by PDP toggs including presiding officers who are card carrying members of PDP with the backing of ENSIEC staff.

C. That a forensic examination will reveal multiple thump prints of unassuming proportion.

2. That given the above grounds, the purported elections be cancelled and a new date set for fresh local government elections in the state.

Speaking to press on sunday after the ENSIEC announced the result Hon. Omeje Nnamdi who was angered by the actions of the state electoral body and their collaborators wondered why PDP in the state could go as far as desecrating The Sacred Adada House by using the building as a centre for election rigging and thump printing. The PDP in Nsukka must first apologise to the people of Adada for such abomination and must take the full responsibility of purifying such a sacred building.

According the candidate who is also a well known and grounded in the politics of the state assured his teaming supporters that the mandate must be reclaim as he is pilling up all the ground braking evidence gathered in the election to unleash legal battle with PDP and ENSIEC. According to him, the party, has gathered enough evidence that will be used in the court to cancel the election. We have all the evidence required to cancelled the election and very soon we will meet them in the court. He noted that the circumstances surrounding the conduct of the election are too disturbing to be swept under the carpet.

Hon. Omeje called on the good people of Enugu state, the labor union, market union and other lovers of democracy to speak up because what happened in Nsukka and other places in the state on 29th february cannot be allowed to continue because posterity will judge us all if we allow it.

In his words, I thanked all our supporters who came out and voted for us and may God bless you all. He ended by saying that his party will soon file a legal suit to challenge the conduct of the election while urging his supporters to be law abiding.
