Dear Anambra Youth,

I'm writing to address a crucial matter concerning our state's future. As you may know, Valentine Chineto Ozigbo, a prominent figure in Anambra politics, left the Labour Party to join the APC. This move has raised concerns among many of us who believe in the Labour Party's vision for a better Anambra.

As young people, we have the power to shape our state's destiny. We cannot afford to sit on the fence while our future is being decided. I urge you all to join me in calling on Valentine Ozigbo to return to the Labour Party. His leadership and experience are needed in a party that truly cares about the welfare of Anambra people ¹.

If Ozigbo refuses to return to the Labour Party, I'm afraid we may have to reconsider our support for him. As young people, we cannot compromise on our values and principles. We deserve a leader who shares our vision for a prosperous and equitable Anambra.

Let's make our voices heard and demand that Ozigbo returns to the Labour Party. Together, we can build a brighter future for ourselves and generations to come.

Sincerely,
[Hon. Uzoghelu John clement okwudili

*A PROSE OF AN OBSERVER ABOUT IBB BOOK LAUNCH*

I have always said that if you stay alive long enough in Nigeria you will see devil exhumed from the grave and deoderised by Nigerians.

IBB's book launch presented a perfect platform for such occasion.

OBJ was there. Taking notes for his next book.

GEJ was present. Looking clueless and neither here nor there as usual

Gowon as usual dwelt on inanities.

He eulogised IBB for restoring his rank yet unlike IBB is not bold enough to write his own book.

Perhaps, Gowon is also waiting for his contemporaries to die before lying over their graves like IBB.

and of course Bobo Chicago who claimed to fight for democracy but the current face of tyranny, evil and undemocratic practices was also there.

The people who betrayed Abiola and urged him to Golgotha were there shining their rotten teeth in the glistening light.

The picture represents the perfect problem with Nigeria.

These were men who contributed in the ruination of a country.

Nobody has bad word for IBB.

Given time, he has transformed into the perfect General.

He has become a hero and maker of men.

But give to IBB, as a military leader he understood evil craftsmanship.

He has dealt with rotten idiots who paraded themselves as Democrats so the audience before him were very familiar.

One vital question.

How did a man who did everything to destroy democracy suddenly became the beacon of democracy in Nigeria, to the extent that aspiring leaders visit his Minna Mecca to receive tutelage on leadership?

There were also billionaires like Arthur Eze who is at best a nuisance in Igboland.

There were Alakija. She was gifted with oil wells.

There was Dangote etc.

They all had good things to say about IBB.

No mention of Dele Giwa.

An unsung hero in a useless country.

Moshood Abiola at least got 1 day named after him each year.

That was enough price for dying for Nigeria and ruining his family and business.

After all IBB was his dear friend.

The billionaires claimed IBB made them.

Thus, they rewarded him with about 16 billion naira for his library project.

Laughable!

All the Nigerian dictators own libraries.

They gave back to him.

IBB was a maker of men.

By the way, Abacha also made some men.

When will they stand up and speak for him or probably build a library for him?

Buhari also made some men during his 8 years democratic dictatorship.

He will likely receive his flowers and a library named after him.

The Emilokrook made some men also as Lagos State Governor.

We recall he rebuilt the house of our Prof Wole Soyinka who was so poor he couldn't afford to rebuild his house.

In future the crooks he made will donate to his library.

So YOU, where exactly are you in the scheme of things as a Nigerian?

Your reward is poverty, hunger, unemployment, disease, homelessness, japa then heaven.

I can only take one positive thing from the meeting.

He took responsibility by admitting for the first time, that his friend, Abiola won the June 12 election.

Sadly again, and deliberately not for forgetfulness, Humphrey Nwosu, the electoral umpire during June 12 who was brave to announce most of the results against military directive wasn't mentioned.

Folks like Humphrey Nwosu doesn't fit the Nigerian optics.

He was a gatecrasher to uncommon destiny.

He lived in a wrong country among unclean people.

He became part of the collateral damage.

An unsung hero.

As IBB admitted to Abiola's victory, 33 years after, I look forward to the day the dark Professor, Mahmood will develop the manhood to confess openly to Peter Obi that he rigged the 2023 election to favour the Chicago drug baron.

I once said that even if devil appears physically in Nigeria that he would receive massive supporters.

Nigeria is the seat of evil.

It is a crime scene.

It's not habitable for human beings.

Living in Nigeria for far too long is capable of turning a saint to a devil.

I am yet to see an African country were evil is celebrated and bad character rewarded such as Nigeria by Nigerians.

It is one country I can tell you for sure that it cannot be redeemed.

A country populated by religious maggots who spend billions of naira to visit Mecca and Israel yet return to Nigeria as agents of Satan to ruin their people.

IBB is evil.

But those who came after him were undiluted devils.

In secondary school, we say "Obey before complain". Once a student started explanation without complying, no one would listen to you. If police stops you by the road, you will stop wether you carry anything incriminating or not. I wish Madam Nat would have relocated to the New Seat and stand up to the Senate President from her lawfully re-allocated seat. It would have been better.

It's obvious the outburst is from previously accumulated grievances but, you have to fight people from the position of law. It appeared the SP has began the silent treatment of not recognising her which may be irritating. Notwithstanding, diplomacy will solve the issue. Senator Ireti, the senator representing FCT was also complaining of not been recognised few months ago when she was fighting Wike on TV and on Media. It's not new. A leader is a leader. They are all senator but, SP is the leader. Outright disrespect and fingers pointing may not end well.

In the beginning of the red chamber career, Madam Nat was SP favourite. I envied her relationship with him by then. She was named chairman, committee on local content. She was elected as a member of ECOWAS parliament. She was always accompanying SP and his Deputy on foreign trips. You can hardly see Madam pictures by then without SP. A lot must have happened that break their relationship and got aggravated by night club comments.

I will prefer a smooth relationship between her and SP than confrontation. A smooth relationship will help her and her Constituency than confrontation. She has bill to sponsor and she will need the cooperation of the leadership. Democracy is not an easy feat anywhere.

Some people says "That's Ebira blood". Well, as lovely as it may sound, I don't think it will benefit us. If I see Madam, I will tell her face to face to relax a bit. You can tame a lion to be your friend and it's not by fight. She should use her feminine attitude to get SP in her bag. A calm voice solve a thousand grievances before a raging voice will solve one

Courtesy DS Ømêizá for this wonderful write up & compliment of the season, me I decided to keep mute over this matter before some folks tag me I don't like her before but this is simple truth

Rulership versus LEADERSHIP
RULERSHIP is a tyrannical mode of operation in which a superior,forces His or her will on the less superior, while LEADERSHIP is another mode of operation in which a superior makes use of different opinions from the led to administer, the question is which of them is best??

Sovereignty is power
Leadership is power
Lead by example
Not by imposing your power to suppress the masses
Leadership by example

6 Reasons Businesses Collapse

Managing a business is not a walk in the park. Many businesses fail because some things are not in place to keep them standing.

When challenges arise, they place the blame on the wrong factors and make a quick decision to shut down.

Understanding the real reasons businesses fall short can help you protect yours from the same. And if your business has already hit a stop, this guide will help you restructure and build a more stable foundation.

Let’s dive in! Why do businesses shut down after a big loss?

1: No Clear Vision

Some businesses exist solely to make money, but without a vision, there is no long-term direction. A vision acts as a roadmap, guiding you through both good and bad times. Your vision is your "WHY"—the core reason your business exists.

2: Poor Self-Leadership

If a business owner cannot effectively lead themselves, they won’t be able to lead their team. Strong self-leadership is essential for making sound decisions and inspiring others.

3: Prioritizing Self-Interest Over Employees

When business owners focus only on their personal gain while neglecting their employees' well-being, it leads to a toxic work environment which weakens a business.

4: Sticking to Failing Strategies

If your current business routines and strategies are not delivering desired results, it is time for a change. Business growth requires adaptability and effective strategies.

5: Financial Instability

Selling on credit, failing to track expenses, neglecting business needs, or diverting funds for personal use can quickly lead to financial ruin. Smart financial management is key to sustainability.

6: Lack of Growth

Ignoring industry trends and failing to improve different aspects of your business can make your brand outdated. Continuous learning and adaptation are necessary for long-term success.

These six reasons can pull down a business. Identifying and addressing these issues will help you strengthen your business and avoid costly mistakes.

Which of these areas will you start working on today? Let's know in the comments.

Massive recognition.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led federal government has gotten a massive endorsement in Africa.

The former president of Niger Republic and AU AfCFTA champion Mahamadou Issoufou lauded Nigeria's leadership.
