Wins Nigerian Professional Football League by Obori Adaka Leadership is one of those confusing concepts which many neither appreciate nor understand.  It is said to be art in one aspect and science to others.  It spurs action and brings out the best in people.  Leadership sets vision, communicates such and provides strategic pathway to realizing the vision.  Leadership sets goals and objectives as it energizes and motivates with human and material resources to achieve results.  The key is result. For the past 32 years, the great Rangers International has been participating, I mean, just participating but not winning. The players worked hard on their games that many were bought by foreign teams in Europe and South Africa.  The only missing part is a championship win.  However the  story of the Flying Antelopes, the Enugu Rangers International Club changed for good when the effective leadership of His Excellency Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi broke the yoke of defeat.  Enugu Rangers

PRESS RELEASE Ekweremadu Condemns Alleged Herdsmen Attack on Attakwu-Akagbe Community …Commends Ugwuanyi, Security Agencies on the Arrest of Robbery Suspects The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has condemned in strong terms the Thursday dawn attack by suspected herdsmen on Attakwu, Akagbe Ugwu community, Enugu State, which left a Catholic Seminarian dead and four others injured. This was even as he commended the Governor of Enugu State, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, and security agencies for their gallantry in busting the robbery attack on Independence Layout, Enugu on Wednesday. Ekweremadu said the incessant attacks on parts of the country by suspected herdsmen posed a grave threat to the peace, security, and economy of the country. He called on the Federal Government to take decisive steps to put a full stop to the ugly incidents. He said: “This is another heartbreak, not only for Enugu State, but the nation in general; and whatever evil forces

 -   News Report P arty in power APC with their flowery promises of change are busy on fishing expedition again instead of providing good governance to the people of Nigeria who made the mistake of voting them into power.   Despite the clear lack of popularity to remove Ekweremadu and the inability to muster the two-third majority needed, information reaching us indicates that the leadership of APC and some elements in the Presidency are illusively plotting to remove the duly elected Deputy President of Senate, His Excellency Dr. Ike Ekweremadu following the trumped up charges of forgery preferred against him and Senate President Dr. Saraki. While they were salivating in their already failed scheme, Dr. Ekweremadu was busy giving back to the needy and communities in his constituency and beyond.  Addressing the large gathering of recipients at Aguobu Owa, Ezeagu Local Government Secretariat, Enugu during the Ikeoha Foundation Adult Literacy Day and 2015/2016 scholarship and bu

Emmanuel Obi -  Obataunoadinma Na Achi                       Enugu/Los Angeles   July 11, 2016   My fellow Nigerians, apologies to the men in uniform, and in particular, Ndi Igbo. Charity they say begins at home, ebe onye bi ka-onawachi. I am a son of Greater Awgu, in particular Oji River Local Government Area. Therefore, I have a standing in the call to recall my representatives in the National and State assemblies. While I commend the interest of the two or three individuals using the name of GALF to highlight the infrastructural deficit in Aninri, Awgu and Oji River, I find it suspicious that the deficit in infrastructure merits a recall from national and state assemblies. Reading through their reasons for the recall, I cannot in good conscience identify with their cause and I know no sane citizen of Aninri, Awgu and Oji River will identify with their cause for the same reasons. The reasons these individuals have advanced is proof they have not visited home

EKWEREMADU-Tiger by the Tail by   Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia In the Igbo Tribe, otherwise known as the South East of Nigeria, there is a song which is sung on a rare occasion:  Onye akpana nw’agu aka n’odu, ma odi ndu, ma onwuru anwu….onye akpana nw’agu aka nodu.  It is a philosophical idiomatic song which cautions people not to trifle with a tiger’s tail; whether it is alive or dead. The tiger, Agu, is apparently the most favored in the lottery of life among the animal kingdom. This is because; the tiger among other characteristics commands an unquestionable authority. It is noted for strength, agility, courage, calmness, swiftness, unflinching determination and decisive action. The tiger moves calmly, selecting it’s steps without noise while it preys on it’s victims and at the same time watchful for a possible predator attacking; even from the rear. Among other attributes in the tiger is it’s unique ability to remain unflappable in the face of danger. Above all, the t
