peter-okoye

Scandal hounds have sniffed another crack in the house of the Okoyes and felt another rift in the air as the one that nearly tore them apart months before.
But speaking at his unveiling as the brand ambassador of the milk product, Peter debunked such development and explained why the company selected him alone. “ Music is like football. For example, if I play for Barcelona and I get endorsed by Nike, it doesn’t mean the whole Barcelona team has been endorsed. This is about me and not me and Paul” he explained.

Where has Governor Willie Obiano Gone Wrong? By James Eze

 Ever since the attentive world rose to its feet to applaud Governor Willie Obiano’s virtuoso performance in 100 days in office, the dogs of war seem to have been let loose and they are baying for his innocent blood. Obiano and his beautiful wife have become the punching bag of miscreants on social media whose mercantile instincts mark out as cannon fodder in the hands of aggrieved and out-of-favour politicians. Every day, they concoct lies and tasteless falsehoods to nibble away at his soaring popularity among the long suffering people of Anambra State who are beginning to finally see that indeed, Anambra can be better.

Tragedy of Obi’s defection

Peter Obi’s defection from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) did not surprise me. Unlike Bianca, widow of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, I knew the former Anambra State governor was going to take that fateful political step. Every discerning political observer knew that despite Obi’s protestations and despite his vow that he would quit partisan politics any day he left APGA, he had a crush on the PDP. His body language betrayed him. That Obi had the patience to serve out his second term as governor on the platform of APGA was the only surprise. I did not want to comment on his defection until I read Bianca’s interview in the Daily Sun and Obi’s reaction.

Chief Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano – Woman with a Heart of Gold

 A smile spread like a rainbow across her face, flooding her countenance with colour as she danced to the beat of the music. The strident rhythm of Kaycee’s popular hit – Pullover, urged her on. A crowd of excited children joined her in this frenzied dance, their faces beaming in blissful contentment. It was easy to see that her mood was infectious and that the children’s happiness was merely a reflection of her own passion. She was in her element. It could be easily seen that nothing else would have given her as much fulfillment at that moment in time. It was her birthday. And she chose to mark it with handicapped children and the less privileged, dancing and singing gloriously with them at the Governor’s Lodge, a place you would have imagined as inaccessible to physically challenged children.
