*INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S DAY* _*The child is the father of the man*_ Per ~ Alexander Pope Indeed, trying times abound -- IDP Camps filled with children, the Covid-19 plague, insecurity, religious extremism and social imbalances have all plunged the would-have-been blissful lives of our children to the cloak of uncertainties --where sicknesses, stigmatization and death become inevitable Our laws, norms, values, charters, protocols and conventions become epileptic, lame and shrimped in shambles--mere documents of monuments and statues achieving successes only in a reverse, but living conditions of a child pebbled in misery. Thus, if the "child is the father of the man" , we must, individually and collectively , in our little corners , homes and communities, re-create a better society for our beloved children-- guard against child molestation, defilement, indecent assaults, rape, displacement and many more! May such a day never come that our children w...

DSP EZRA YUGUDA,  AN OVER-SPOONFED COP: IF HE CAN THREATEN TO SHOOT LAWYERS ON PEACEFUL PROTEST,  HOW MUCH MORE ANY OTHER AKWA IBOMITE?  A CALL FOR SACK!  Indeed my face got wrinkled with dismay,  my fingers became Stiff,  my neck got choked and my body became trembled,  not for my sake ( for l believe a man can only die but once)  but for the average Akwa Ibomites who might stumble upon such a misguided fellow.  DSP Ezra yuguda Maiha threatened to shoot lawyers during a peaceful solidarity match of Uyo, Eket and Ikot Ekpene Branch of the NBA today 4th May,  2021, in a bid to register their demands of financial autonomy of the Judiciary to the Governor of Akwa Ibom State,  Mr.  Udom Gabriel Emmanuel. With his unguarded utterances one could quickly deduce that he is spoonfed by "connection " which has thrown the young man off balance so much that he is shortsighted hence mistaking himself for a demi-god with a gun to masquerade as a police man.  The sooner the government of Ak...

*WHO SHOULD LEAD UYO BAR IN THE FORTHCOMING ELECTION? : THE COMING OF AN HYBRID WISDOM OF OLD IN MARRIAGE WITH YOUTHFUL STRENGTH* _By ~ METI MONDAY UKPEH ESQ._           ( Ama-Mme Anana-Owo)   Posterity will beckon on me with left hand if l cease to let loose of truth that should ultimately spur the young and old minds of this noble profession  I have set my listening apparatuses to the ground,  hence decry the imaginary inventions and ill-calculated impressions created  to ruin the would-have-been good relationship between the "young and senior lawyers " vis-a-vis the forthcoming NBA BRANCH ELECTIONS,  UYO.  More saddening and damaging is,  where these ill-fated thoughts,  stone-age and primitive beliefs are pitiably orchestrated by  the "nobles " of this profession.  Today, we have to decolonize ourselves from this backward thinking! Yes! Today, I recommend GERONYOUTHOCRACY ( i.e. GERON (wisdom of the Old) + YOUTH + CRACY) as a liberal NBA UYO Democracy that seeks...

*GOV. UDOM EMMANUEL AND AKS HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY SHOULD BAN OPEN GRAZING:  Etinan and Essien Udim attacks in the past, who is the next victim?* *_By ~ METI MONDAY UKPEH ESQ._*               _(Ama-Mme Anana-Owo)_ _In a country that citizens no longer sleep with both eyes closed. In a nation where herdsmen and bandits have become self-imposed citizens of the night and day. In a polity that is bedeviled with castle rustlers,  terrorising the collective socio-political and cultural lives of over 206million Nigerians,  no responsible and responsive government or its subset would hesitate to make necessary laws,  resolutions or orders to curbing these ever-threatening children of the night and day!_ Akwa Ibom is renowned for its unshifted and undisturbed peace hitherto enjoyed till when our collective peace was challenged and shaken.  The cases of Etinan and Essien Udim were on points whereof crops and source of living of the people were battered,  shattered and scattered, but only to have a pa...

*NATIONAL BUREAU OF STATISTICS(NBS) HAS A 21y DAY ULTIMATUM TO REVIEW ITS METHODOLOGY ON BAD REPORTAGE AGAINST AKWA IBOM PEOPLE OR WITHDRAW SAME OR FACE THE LAW. * *By ~ METI MONDAY UKPEH ESQ.*             (Ama-Mme Anana-Owo)  It is no longer funny that the Federal Agency,  NBS,  will continue to pollute the sensitivities of the people of Akwa Ibom state with archaic, primitive and inaccurately derived statistics in recent times.  The Bureau,  within the span of 3years,  has poorly labelled and painted the state in bad light,  viz: (a)  High in HIV,  (b)  Unemployment,  and most recently (c)  High in consumption of Alcohol.  One would wonder: how many Beer Breweries do we have in the state?  How many local alcohol production do we have?  What is the population of the state compared to others do we have that we are high in unemployment?  Can a state like Akwa Ibom with high level of Education,  HIV consciousness and awareness be rated 2nd-highest in HIV without a proper statistical rese...

*THE BLOOD OF LIVES LOST ON CALABAR-ITU ROAD IS ON THE HANDS OF AKWA-CROSS GOVERNORS,  NOT ON FED. GOVT.* _By ~ METI MONDAY UKPEH ESQ_         _(Ama-Mme Anana-Owo)_ _*It is a gargantuan shame and a Napoleon folly that* *with barbarian vile,  the Federal Government has sent the indigenes of our land to early graves by continued and perpetual show of ill-fated politics in the construction of calabar-Itu road for decades now*._ Not surprisingly,  the Governors of Akwa Ibom and Cross River (AKWA CROSS) in the last decade have aided the federal government in laying waste the lives of the people of that region.  Why would one blame the federal govt?  The Governors of the region fly on air,  their children, their stooges,  praise-singers and other cargo of failures,  don't ply the road,  but the poor masses whose mass graves have lost count!  _Days back occurred a fatal accident where a whole bus was shattered and battered, ripped off beyond recognition and repairs. Guess what?  Lives wer...
