Projects & Developments Once Upon A Time In Okpokwu Local Government Okpokwu local government is the second oldest local government area in Idomaland. Okpoga, the headquarters is like a sculpture cast in bronze relief, never changing, though roughened at the edges by relentless drone of time. There is nothing which shows the absence of a government in that land like the local government secretariat itself. It is derelict, a symbol of stagnation. It is desolate beyond recognition. Grasses have taken over the perimeter of the fence and the walls are falling. The guest lodge built by the Comrade Abba Moro led administration is nothing but a shadow of its own architectural design. The administrative offices in the local government are like long forgotten relic of a bygone era. The local government has failed to maintain the loci of administration and as well relegating their onus to the people of Okpokwu to the background. The tone for this decadence was set by political godfathers

Some public universities are on the verge of boycotting the over 8 weeks’ strike, and have threatened to return their students to classrooms. But speaking in an interview with journalists in Lagos, the National President of the Union, Prof. Biotin Ogunyemi, accused the Federal Government of making moves to break its ranks.

AS SENATOR DAVID ALECHENU BONAVENTURE MARK PICKS THE PDP NOMINATION FORM FOR THE PRESIDENCY THIS WEEK. WE TAKE A BRIEF LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF THIS ICON, THAT HAS BECOME A REOCCURRING DECIMAL IN THE NIGERIAN POLITICAL SPACE. Born in the non-descript, inaucous and obscure ancient community of Otukpo in the defunct Benue/Plateau state (present day Benue State), on April 1948. Mark began his early education at St. Francis Catholic Practising School, Otukpo between 1956 to 1961. He proceeded to the NIGERIA Military School, Zaria. Thereafter, he was admitted into the prestigious Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA) and he was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in 1970 making him one of the 3rd sector Officers to graduate from the Academy. (Mark is a member of the 3rd regular course of the NDA) He later bagged a Bachelor Degree in Telecommunications Engineering between 1971 and 1976. After several professional military trainings in the United Kingdom, USA, and India. From 1978 - 1979, he was at the Com

CHAPTER 6. CURRICULUM: POLITICAL THEORY Thomas Hobbes Thomas_Hobbes_(portrait) Thomas Hobbes was a 17th-century English philosopher who is on hand to guide us through one of the thorniest issues of politics: to what extent should we patiently obey rulers, especially those who are not very good – and to what extent should we start revolutions and depose governments in search of a better world? Hobbes’s thinking is inseparable from one major event that began when he was 64 years old – and was to mark him so deeply, it coloured all this subsequent thinking (remarkably he died when he was 91 and everything he is remembered for today he wrote after the age of 60). This event was the English Civil war, a vicious, divisive, costly and murderous conflict that raged across England for almost a decade and pitted the forces of King against Parliament, leading to the deaths of some 200,000 people on both sides. Hobbes was by nature a deeply peaceful and cautious man. He hated violence of all kin

WHO IS JOHN LOCKE? Below are resources for student ADULTS RESEARCH An essay on Locke’s legacy Written by George M. Stephens, “John Locke: His American and Carolinian Legacy” provides a basic but thorough grounding in the origins of Locke’s ideas in the context of the events of his biography. It emphasizes the role of property rights in Locke’s philosophy, and gives an expansive view of the ways in which the United States, and specifically the US Supreme Court, has viewed those property rights throughout the years. Works by John Locke (chronologically) Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina (1669) Composed jointly by Locke and his mentor Lord Shaftesbury, this document was intended to be used as the Constitution of the English Province of Carolina, though it was never officially adopted. It included some remarkably liberal (for 1669) ideas, ones that can be found elsewhere in Locke’s works: the idea that government legitimacy is contingent on the con

Thomas Hobbes: Moral and Political Philosophy Hobbes The English philosopher Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) is best known for his political thought, and deservedly so. His vision of the world is strikingly original and still relevant to contemporary politics. His main concern is the problem of social and political order: how human beings can live together in peace and avoid the danger and fear of civil conflict. He poses stark alternatives: we should give our obedience to an unaccountable sovereign (a person or group empowered to decide every social and political issue). Otherwise what awaits us is a "state of nature" that closely resembles civil war – a situation of universal insecurity, where all have reason to fear violent death and where rewarding human cooperation is all but impossible. One controversy has dominated interpretations of Hobbes. Does he see human beings as purely self-interested or egoistic? Several passages support such a reading, leading some to think that h

2face Spits Fire: 2BABA WEEPS FOR BENUE AND NIGERIA AT LARGE OVER ONE SET OF PEOPLE IN THE GOV. Nigerians Should Stop Celebrating Criminals Popular afro-pop singer, 2Baba Idibia, has shared his thoughts on the forthcoming general elections in Nigerian. 2Face, who spoke to Showtime in a chat, advised the youths to stop celebrating criminally-minded politicians who are only out to loot public funds. “My advice to the youths is that we should begin to celebrate what is right. We should stop celebrating criminals; we should stop hyping people that have done nothing to benefit us. Imagine, someone wakes one morning and suddenly becomes a Senator with a lot of money; people will begin to celebrate him/her even when he has done nothing for his people. When you campaign for votes and you finally win, you’ve to have something to show for those votes. So, we need to begin to celebrate people who are genuine and not criminals”, he said. 2face Idibia Hopeful that Nigerians would not be dece

WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY part 3 By N. OLUCHI JOY NIGERIAN NEWS VENDOR I stood, watching her in awe. I allowed her to talk because it seems the only way she could release the rage burning in her, and its the only way she could justify her action to passerby, and those who cared to listen. Finally, I told the little girl to kneel down and plea for mercy, but she refused. I was startled. The same little girl I tried to help, flouted at my order. "Baby girl kneel down and beg your mom, or do you want to remain outside in this cold weather?, I persuaded her. But she was stubborn. I watched her in awe, smile creeping over her face, stretching her lips, an embarrassed smile. I turned towards the woman, whom, too, was startled by the girl's behaviour, and plead for mercy on behalf of the little girl. " Aunty please forgive her", I said. "Don't keep her outside in this cold weather, to avoid sickness". I said, it was the best thing to do at that moment. " c

WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY part 2 By N. OLUCHI JOY I continued knocking until I got tired. I shouldn't have bothered myself, I thought. I had wanted to leave at that moment, but I turned to see the curious eyes of the little girl, glaring at me with hope. I knew I had to do something. I cannot stop what I had started. I knocked few more times on the door, and then it occurred to me that whomsoever was inside was not ready to come out, and I had to go because it was already late. Sadly, I instructed the girl to keep knocking, that she should make sure she gets inside because this kind of rain can cause sickness. "Aunty abeg open door for this pikin to enter inside, cold dey." I said, and then turned and started going. I had barely walked few steps away, when I heard a high pitched voice called out, "na who be that person?. I was startled. I had already given up, I had lose interest in the case. "Ma, please allow this little girl to go inside, I said, as I walke
