The rains are here again. Many people want it to rain always because of the intensely scorching sun, while others do not want it because of the condition of the area they are living in Rivers State.

Amaechi, Odili & the pension bill

Imposition of a successor in public offices is becoming obsolete in the Nigerian politics. In the past it used to be a test of might among the opinionated chauvinists; those who did it were very proud of the practice.

Amaechi, Sekibo & Kidnappers

 By Odimegwu Onwumere

With the micro cases of kidnapping activities in Rivers State, the perpetrators of the devilish act are making us people of little faith. As residents, they have been making us to walk the street and not to be certain what the next minute holds, after an excruciating spiritual exercise.

Amaechi, model schools & government policies

 By Odimegwu Onwumere

“We are tinkering with the idea of establishing a new teachers’ training college for the sole purpose of training teachers. We don’t have teachers and if we establish it, it becomes an easy avenue to feed the University. We want to also establish a Rivers State University of Education to train teachers because we completely lack teachers.”
