CHILDISH LIFESTYLE : CASTING STONE! Growing up in an impoverished neighborhood and in a family where we had no breakfast most times and lunch does not even exit at all, I was guilty of perfecting that act of casting stone or sticks at riped fruits of oranges, mangoes and cashew on our way to and from school. Basically my breakfast and lunch were served on these trees. But I recall, I never for one day cast stone at any tree without fruits. I had no business with barren trees but when we need fire wood, we cut their branches. We avoided the fruitful ones.  My life story here and experience has empowered me not to take personal attacks from people paid to bring me down. I am a riped fruit. I sincerely expect many casting stone at me. Just like I needed those tree to flower and fruit every year, to continue feeding from them, so you need those of us who are sensitive enough to speak for you to be around for a better tomorrow for your children.  Just as these trees do not adver

Ikeoha Global- Unique and Exceptional Parliamentarian ~Comr Akpa Francis     ( CAF ) According to Shakespeare, “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them”, In the spirit of the foregoing it will be logical to say that the former Deputy Senate President & Speaker ECOWAS Parliament has achieved greatness through humility, dint of hard-work, uncommon resilience, iron clad principles and time tasted character traits and above all have greatness bestowed upon him by his creator". Ikeoha Global has used his position in the Senate to attract many developments to Enugu state and beyond, he remains without equivocation, a strong builder of men and unrepentant human capital developer.  His empowerment programs through Ikeoha Foundation have lifted so many young men and women from unemployment and also provided sources of livelihood to the teeming disillusioned and indigent households.

PROF SEN IKE EKWEREMADU, AN EXTRAORDINARY LEGISLATURE. By: Author Tim Joe In Nigeria, there are three tiers of government (Executive, Legislature, and the Judiciary) each is mandated with particular functions. 1. *THE EXECUTIVE*: The president, Governor, Minister, etc. They implement and enforce the law. 2. *THE LEGISLATURE.*  Senators, House of Rep members at all levels. The law-making bodies and oversight functions. 3. *THE JUDICIARY* Supreme Court Judges, etc. They interpret and punish the law offenders. Going with this explanation, it's clear that the executive is superior among them as he has nearly every machinery under his control.  But as our elders would say: When a child begins to work as an adult, people will misunderstand him that they tend to forget he is a child and takes him as an adult. In Enugu state, the name Prof Sen Ike Ekweremadu is seen more like an executive due to his developmental projects across his constituency and beyond, which only an execut

Senior Special Assistant to the Executive Governor of Enugu State *Affa/Ikono/Oghu Ward.* One of the major agenda of socio economic rights and accountability project is FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY. It is the framework for open government while its parameters form the hallmark of Public Policy Democracy. Observers and Scholars of development and Public Finance would easily be in unity by agreeing that the Rt. Hon. Dr. Ifeanyi L.

It is therefore this democratization of Public Finance that among other tendencies brought the Ugwuanyi led administration into a warm embrace as a fiscal responsibility regime.

2023: ENUGU ON A POLITICAL TENTERHOOKS OVER ZONING.  By Ken Eluma Asogwa.  (Note: Read Sun Newspapers of today, 2nd February, 2021, page 23, for the Newspaper version of the article)  On Saturday, 19th September, 2020, Ebeano Family, a political movement birthed by Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani, former governor of Enugu State, paid what they termed a "solidarity visit" to the incumbent governor of the State, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi. Dr. Nnamani, who spoke on behalf of the hordes of loyalists that accompanied him, pledged to support the choice of the incumbent governor on the issues of succession to the throne of the Lion Building.  Also, in January, 2021, Sen. Ike Ekweremadu led another delegation of Enugu West people to a political pilgrimage in Enugu Government House. In taking a cue from Ebeano visit, he, on behalf of his group, also pledged support to the governor. Though discussed in shush sounds, an average Joe in the State is aware that the former deputy presiden
