By Augustine Akpan The women of Onna, the hometown of the incumbent Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Deacon Udom Emmanuel, this afternoon bid him farewell from the Government House. Passing the message to Deacon Emmanuel via a special number christened “Afo ammenim ke akpaniko ke Udom anyong idung?” loosely translated to mean, “Are you convinced that Udom has been sent packing?”, the women enunciated reasons why he cannot be reelected for a second term. In the lyrics of their song, the women lambasted Governor Emmanuel for being insincere, clannish and selective in terms of empowerment, appointment and spreading of development in the area.

By Udeme Ankott  “Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect, he ceases to love.” ― Fyodor Dostoevsky It's all over. Until the second leg anyway. A  brilliant game. Paris St. Germain started and finished magnificently, but missed a stack of chances. Barcelona were defensively suspect, but made their host pay for their profligacy with a fortuitous Messi goal and two clinical volleys by Coutinho, giving the Catalan giants a lead to take back home for the second leg. Tonight had it all: great goals, bizarre goals, early goals, late goals, headed goals, mesmerising skill, several lollipops, defensive fragility, a confusing red card and ultimately a hugely satisfactory result for Ernesto Valverde and co. Lionel Messi runs towards Neymar Jnr, the PSG talisman and says, “o my men

By Ette Udo Sunny The Holy Bible advises that no one should embark on a project without first sitting to calculate the cost, to avoid failure and its attendant embarrassment. It is in keeping with this wise counsel that discerning individuals, organizations and governments conduct feasibility studies before they initiate a project of any kind. To this end, cost evaluation of a venture, its expected benefits and challenges, as well as its viability and practicability become imperative. It is pertinent to state here that our Lord Jesus Christ proffered this advice to us, his followers, warning us against spurious and unattainable project launchings or groundbreakings, ostensibly to spare us the embarrassing waste of resources and dashed hopes associated with it. However, it is most unfortunate and pathetic that our governor, His Excellency, the Revered Deacon Udom Emmanuel, out of desperation for a scorecard vis-a-vis 2019 polls, has repeatedly failed to avail us primarily, the

By Asuama Ekpo For those who still doubt the acceptability and popularity of All Progressives Party (APC) in Akwa Ibom State, the  APC rally held in Ikot Ekpene Local Government  ended that doubt.

The sea of heads of persons at the stadium was a notable  measure of the popularity and acceptability of  APC in Akwa Ibom State. It shows the direction Akwa Ib
