My dear Hon Commissioner Amanke, prevention is still cheaper than cure any where in the universe o! It is better for our children to be alive and write their exams another day or even another year than write their exams and not stay alive to see the results of the exams they are preparing for? Italians went about with their normal way of doing things even when decibels of the presence or near presence of the coronavirus was pitching very high! What's the result today? The death toll in Italy has overtaken that of China; so much so that corpses are being cremated because they can't be accorded the normal burial rites and the cemeteries can't even accommodate them anymore. Mr Commissioner Sir, what is really the BIG DEAL in advising HE to close down schools?? Basking on the euphoria that our dear state has not recorded any COVID-19 case is the lamest excuse any digital government should gloat about. God's mercies and grace should not be slaughtered on the abattoir slab of...

COMMUNIQUE BY THE COALITION OF APC SUPPORT GROUPS IN NIGERIA, CRS CHAPTER DURING HER EMERGENCY MEETING ON  MONDAY 16TH OF MARCH 2020." BY GODDIE AKPAMA Ordinarily one would have ignored the feeble attempt of the so-called support group to truncate the recent appointment of Chief Akin Ricketts as the Chairman of the Board of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), but keeping sealed lips would amount to tacit approval of the destructive tendency!  such a move would have on the APC in Cross River State, and the state in general. However, let it be on record that this piece is not a rejoinder in the real sense of the word because the signatories to the communiqué are  small birds dancing to the orchestra of big drummers in the bush. When ever, the drummers are courageous enough to step out into the public space with their useless noise, they will be adequately replied in...

HE. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan  WHY I CONCEDED DEFEAT FOR YOU TO LIVE  _GEJ_ “I was fully informed about the manipulations, intrigues, intimidation and betrayals. The consequences of not conceding were only better imagined. My natural instinct for peace automatically surfaced. I was going to make a decision which reflected my commitment to that ideal. This is the foundation of my essence. In my periodic projections into the future, I did not see how I would be presiding over any kind of chaos.

Akin Ricketts:  We must stop the pull “him down syndrome” By Goddie  Akpama. It is  with a sense of dismay that I read a communique by a group that described themselves as the Coalition of APC Support Groups in Cross River. I am dismayed because inspite of our experiences in the past, we still don’t seem to have risen above a primitive “pull him down” syndrome that is largely responsible for where we are today as a state. The attacks on the Minister of Transportation, Rt Hon Rotimi Amaechi and the newly appointed chairman of the Nigeria Ports Authority, Chief Akin Ricketts leaves a sour taste in the mouth. The Minister has done well for Cross River, we are our own problem. For the avoidance of doubt, Ricketts is a member of the APC and has been a member since the  foundation of the party.  He  has contributed immensely,  intellectually, financially  to the development of the party. Those people who are instigating crisis to in...
