by Donu Kogbara It’s possible that I am indulging in wishful thinking because I’m a Niger Deltan, but I share OBJ’s view that Jonathan has what it takes to save Nigeria….and reckon that if Jonathan gives Nigerians the progress they yearn for, many of those who are bitterly opposing him at the moment will suddenly...

Donu Kogbara: Two reasons I will never forget late M.I.C boss, Tunji Okusanya

by Donu Kogbara Tunji, out of the blue, appeared at my side and offered me a tissue. And I said something crass like: “We must stop meeting in such depressing circumstances!” And he laughed and asked me to help him make Ama look as good as possible. I wept when I heard that Tunji Okusanya,... Read More

Donu Kogbara: Niger Deltans for Jonathan and Amaechi

by Donu Kogbara We feel that Jonathan and Amaechi should forget about destructive distractions, let bygones be bygones, relate to each other like brothers and ferociously concentrate – alongside other South-South VIPs – on transforming our geopolitical zone into a harmonious, thriving socio-economic success story.

Donu Kogbara: We are sick and tired of Rivers playground politics

Opinion: Failure of the Northern elders

by Donu Kogbara ANYWAY, Maitama Sule has made some valid points; and, at the risk of sounding sectional, I would like to ask Northern leaders who have been chronically failing for decades why they think they can out-perform President Goodluck Jonathan. ACCORDING to elder statesman, Alhaji Yusuf Maitama Sule, who was once our Permanent Representative... Read More

Opinion: This deportation ‘imbroglio’ must end

by Donu Kogbara Last year, Abia State Government ruthlessly purged its civil service of non-Abians. And I can’t even describe this nastiness as ethnic cleansing because, bizarrely, some of the victims of it were Igbos from neighbouring states! Journalists are supposed to be formidably well-informed and are expected to know more than most about what is... Read More
