Why Igbos Did Not Vote for Buhari – By Dr. Jideofor Adibe

By Dr. Jideofor Adibe | London, UK | April 18, 2015 – Retired Muhammadu Buhari’s recent victory at the polls has given aggressive vent to the aphorism that success has many fathers while failure is an orphan.

As Obasanjo Tears His PDP Membership Card – By Dr. Jideofor Adibe

By Jideofor Adibe | London, UK | Feb. 21, 2015 – Obasanjo is a very fascinating personality – full of contradictions like the rest of us.

Governor Aliyu’s Challenge – By Dr. Jideofor Adibe

By Dr. Jidoeofor Adibe | London, UK | April 18, 2014 – Politics is in the air and jostling for 2015 has simply begun in earnest. Anyone telling you otherwise is either living in another planet, trying to undercut the competition or simply being dishonest. We saw another evidence of this when Governor Babangida Aliyu […]
