ENTER HON. JONSON UGHUMA, GANI AUDU AND ABASS BRAIMAH AS IZE IYAMU'S DEPUTY

  1. With Obaseki/Shaibu seemingly out of the way in APC matters, the road is now clear for the emergence of new power blocks in he mould of the making of Oshiomole. Pastor Ize Iyamu is certain to clinch the ticket and go on to win the general elections. You may dispute this, but that is the way of our country. Only the unwise will contest this. Obviously, knowing the way Oshiomole's mind works, the road is now clear for the emergence of either of the trio: Gani Audu, Johnson Ughuma or Abass Braimah to become thye next deputy governor of Edo State. So all roads will soon be leading to their homes for the normal lobbying and pledge of loyalty. Here, in this our clime, we care more for our flesh than provision of general amenities; that is why it is easy for godfathers to ride rough shod over and above others; that is why it is easy for the benin-Auchi road to remain in perpetual state of desrepair; thats is why the Iruekpen-Ekpoma road has remained what it is: a torn in the flesh of motorists. I do not doubt the powers of these godfathers; I only have nostagia reminiscent of the days of my fathers when leadership were accountable. I remebred my father bought a peoguot 504 GL and hid it, using it only sparingly. When I asked why, he said it was to avoid suspicion and subsequent petitioning as to where he got the money to buy the car unlike today when you could own private jets and nobody bats an eyelid. Thats how far we have degenerated. Little did I know that thoses were the very best days we were witnessing--no kidnappers, bandits, herdsmen, terrosists, etc. I cant really understand it; it is so difficult to see that men of my own generation are the very harbingers of misfortune in current times. So sad.

Trouble looms over Court order seeking Exhumation of corpse of prominent Igbo Family

  A recent court order widely regarded as an assault on customs and decency, seeking the exhumation of the corpse of a prominent Igbo chief, is largely seen as a misuse of judicial authority, and fear the backlash may lead to disruption of communal peace. By Clement Ebaku and Lucy Okulougbo reporting from Owerri. Tension has escalated surrounding the Amuchienwa family following a contentious order issued on 5 December 2025 by Justice I.O. Agugua, directing the exhumation of the remains of the late Chief Ifeanyichukwu Dona Amuchienwa, who was laid to rest on 17 October 2025. The directive, made nearly two months after the burial, has sparked widespread outrage, with many describing it as a shocking affront to the dignity of the deceased. Imolites are questioning the circumstances under which the ruling emerged, with reactions trailing a media release by Ms. Chinyere Igwegbe (formerly Amuchienwa), the late Chief’s former wife, whose marriage ended more than 32 years ago.
