Have you ever wondered why UNN doesn't offer chemical engineering as a course? Here is the reason.. This University now known as UNN, had it's Chemical Engineering department permanently closed down after the war because of the level of research, developments and inventions it churned out for the Biafran soldiers. Kudos to the renowned Professor Gordian Ezekwe who led a team of scientists in what was known as Biafran Research and Production Unit, RAP. This think-tank group made up of Sylvester Akalonu, Benjamin Nwosu, Willy Achukwu and Okezie confidence and more were tasked to develop rockets, bombs, telecommunication gadgets and develop the fractionation model used for operating the modular crude oil refineries designed and operated by Biafrans. The refinery that Nigeria can't build today was single handedly designed, and operated by these Biafran wizards. They refined aviation fuels that powered their amarnents and planes. If you had wondered why UNN doesn'

NSUKKA CATHOLIC DIOCESE: WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?  The principle of separation of church and state is a well-established concept. The government is required to make no law respecting or prohibiting the free exercise of religion. It has been observed that the Catholic Church under Bishop Godfrey Igwebuike Onah of Nsukka DIOCESE has got her hands stained with the oil of politics. The Bishop got deeply involved in the current government of Enugu State through his direct appointment and committee roles. There is this saying that if you need a government appointment in Enugu State and you are from Nsukka, talk to The Bishop. I am shocked that the church is now becoming a tool at the disposal of the government to deny the citizens and church members the rights to church activities. Thanksgiving is a religious exercise that we learned from Abraham and not a political gathering. A Thanksgiving mass and reception scheduled for Sunday, May 16, 2021 at St Theresa's Cat

Ikeoha Global stormed ETTE Community in IgboEze North LGA amidst cry of joy and jubilations  "8th May 2021, will forever remain a memorable day in the minds of the good people of ETTE Community". It was indeed surprising and remarkable as the former Deputy Senate President and his entourage stormed ETTE Community ( IgboEze North LGA ) for the burial of Late High Chief Emmanuel Alachi ( ADOGO of ETTE ). The teeming youths, Ndi Nne n' Nna, community/religious leaders and the crème de la crème of ETTE Community gathered with joy to receive Ikeoha Global which I describe as a heroic reception from the good people of ETTE Community. Ndi Ette Community used the opportunity to interact with Former Deputy Senate President whom they described as their own and messiah of their time. "Thank you 'Your Excellency" for this privilege, this has shown that you are indeed a true and humble leader, man of the people and God-sent, we ( Ndi E

OF LEADERSHIP, IKEOHA AND ENUGU STATE - AN OP-ED by OGBUEFI EMMANUEL NNANNA EZIMA (Amagu, Okpanku) I've been thinking a lot about Enugu State. For 27yrs, I lived in Lagos and other parts of the West, then made a decision to return to my state permanently, this beautiful idyllic Coal City State. Enugu, sprawling in majestic posture, ensconced in undulations, quiet, vegetative; with that ability to help you tap into your inner self. At least this used to be Enugu. Sadly not anymore.  The glory of this beautiful state has been corroded by sinister politics. The economics and enterprise of the state has also been dealt a huge blow as a result of terrible governance. Can we point to a single sector that has developed in capacity to attract investments, jobs, economic growth, and all the other indices of a prosperous state?  Security has collapsed, the state governor has himself barricaded and all roads leading to the government house restricted. Just like Nigeria, Enugu is i

Enugu2022/2023: The messiah of our time No doubt that this great achiever has soared higher on the wings of his uncommon brilliance and acumen to become the Deputy Senate President of Nigeria, Deputy Speaker ECOWAS Parliament, Speaker ECOWAS Parliament, Leader South East Senate Caucus and Africa Chief Coordinator International Parliamentary Congress ( IPC ) etc. While the forgoing may not be news, especially to those who have been following his story with interest, he is an erudite scholar, humble and brilliant politician with unparalleled love for fellow human beings.  With his daily actions, Ikeoha Global seems to have entered a vow to be committed to the course of humanity, an attitude that makes him unable to stand the sight of his fellow human being in distress or wants. He is a focused, courageous, competent and experienced leader, an accomplished parliamentarian, a statesman par excellence, a quiet achiever, dependable democrat and a core intellectual in politics. As

Ike Ekweremadu  At ETTE Igbo Eze north Local Government Yesterday Some table shakers and nuisance had few days ago peddled a mendacious and cheap fake news purportedly written by Ette youths in Igbo Eze north local govt that #Sen.Ike Ekweremadu should not attend a burial ceremony of late Alachi a one time Party Chairman,that during his time gave his best to the Service of the party and delivered many candidates of the party to victory. #Sen.Ike Ekweremadu and his entourage were  at Ette by 5.30pm and it was a rousing welcome by Ette youths and others. The family Members were very happy for the honour and gave him  a red carpet reception that was Superb. Ike Oha is a man of Peace and destiny  evidently.

The Man of the Moment: He remains without equivocation, a strong builder of men and unrepentant human capital developer.  A humanitarian par excellence whose 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 in Enugu State and beyond. 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 President of Nigeria Senate has achieved greatness through dint of hard-work, humility, uncommon resilience, iron clad principles and time tasted character traits and above all have greatness bestowed upon him by Almighty God". A team player whose dream and vision are deeply rooted in selflessness and service to humanity. His representation in senate has been very rewarding to Enugu west senatoria

Information reaching me is that ADC directed Commander AntiKidnap to witch-hunt and intimidate members of this forum especially Admin and people they believe that support Sen Ike Ekweremadu, they have been intimidating them unjustly, Ogarabe is part of this gang up and I believe Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is aware, does it mean that no more freedom of speech in Enugu State? I don't believe we are still thinking in this petty direction, I know the commander of that AntiKidnap squad Enugu he is from Umuahia and if he allowed himself to be use to intimidate innocent people then let him get ready to face the music, enough is enough we are watching them closely very closely, let them not embark on what they may not finish, Ndi Enugu should know that if anything happens to the admin or any member of this forum then ADC and AntiKidnap commander should be hold responsible, Enugu belongs to us and nobody will run away for anyone or stop speaking the truth, manipulators Enugu Political Are

The messiah of our time: "A true leader is one who demonstrates extraordinary mastery in a group task environment".  "A true leader helps others not only to surmount their challenges, but enables them unlock their potentials". A true leader displays empathy, sacrifice and responsibility towards his people.  A true leader thinks far for the benefit of his people.  Above all, a true leader possesses a charisma, the innate ability to inspire enthusiasm among his followers. A dispassionate observation of the former Deputy Senate President and Speaker ECOWAS Parliament, reveals a synthesis of both the nature and the nurture paradigms of leadership traits. Of all the qualities in a true leader, perhaps, the most remarkable of all is "vision".  Vision is the exclusive preserve of a clear headed leader, it is mostly the exceptional intellectual with extraordinary depth of imagination, character and reflection that can develop a vision.
