Post-PMB: Can Arewa confront its underbelly?

[FILE] President Muhammadu Buhari (middle) and members of Arewa Pastors Non-Denominational Initiative for Peace in Abuja…recently. PHOTO: PHILLIP OJISUA Although the futuristic question of: “After PMB, what next for Arewa?” may sound simply farfetched, in reality. It is not. When PMB won the 2015 election, indeed ever since he ventured back to partisan politics, most of the hopes and expectations from the masses, especially in the core North, were heaped on this singular soul, as if he had a magic wand, like Moses, who could magically transform their lives as soon as he assumed power. This perceived expectations, with its extreme version exhibited by die-hard and sometimes almost-‘psychopathic’ loyalists, is reminiscent of the pre-historic stories of the type of worship exhibited by the post-Sokoto Jihad generation of illiterates, who in their blind groping of their faith continued to cling to an unfathomable mirage that their Shehu’s death (a la matyrdom) translates to their...

Falz: Receive Your Immoral Instructions

I was in that room when Falz made the statement, “I detest transactional sex.” I was the person who recorded that video and released it on the internet. Was Falz wrong to state a personal opinion? Did he misfire with his candid truth about his preferences? Did he make a mistake? Falz I love Falz. I love his art. I love his brand. He makes music that has always been multi-layered. His raps, his endless forays into the grey areas of storytelling, and the courage to carry through with music that provides more than just a good feeling is a dying art. From his debut album, ‘Wazup Guy’ through ‘Stories That Touch’ and ‘27’, listeners have had a sense that this is a journey that we are all on, with the man. Two songs off of his ‘27’ album – ‘Child of the world’ and ‘Confirm’ carried a lot of weight because they touched on the perils of transactional sex and internet fraud (Yahoo Yahoo). The former struck deep because he made it a single, and invited the world into his mental space...

Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu is your quintessential politician.  A former executive governor of Abia State (1999-2007), even his adversaries agree that it has been difficult to match his strides in the state.  The man, popularly known as OUK, was on the road in Abam, Arochukwu LGA, as he tries to oust a PDP candidate and become Senator, representing Abia North, on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Orji Uzor Kalu The campaign train took off from Idima Abam – Ndi Ojiaku – Ndi Agwu – Atan – Ndi Oji  and terminated at  Ozu Abam, on some of the most poorly maintained roads in Abia North.  The people confessed that never before had they seen a politician of OUK calibre traverse such dangerous thoroughfares to meet the electorate at their doors.  And many agreed: It must be Orji Uzor Kalu.  Excerpts: Your Excellency, you have been out of power for quite sometime, yet the people identify you as their own.  What is the magic? Well, I...
