60 YEARS LATER


 History is best honored when we use it as a mirror to improve our present.


It's been ​60 years since the 12-Day Revolution.

​Major Isaac Adaka Boro fought for the dignity of the Ijaw people. Today, that legacy is being choked—not just by neglect, but by leaders who prioritize personal gain over our collective survival.



​The creeks are still polluted. Our youth are still jobless. The "struggle" has become a business for the elite while the average Ijaw man suffers.


​Is it not time we return to the original vision?

We cease to recognise all undemocratic decrees that rob our peoples/communities of the right to ow...

DEAR POLITICIAN: WHAT ARE YOU NEGLECTING? 3

FINDING A BALANCE: STATESMAN AND POLITICIAN! “The Internet is changing all forms of communication and this definitely includes political communication” ~ Theresa May Communication ; the imparting or exchanging of information by speaking, writing, or using some other medium. This very vital aspect of human existence is largely neglected by many a politician. 2011 former President Goodluck Jonathan utilized social media for his campaigns reaching many young minds with his breath of “Fresh Air” message and won that election. Fast forward to 2015, an amalgamation of politicians lead by the quintessential politician Ahmed Bola Tinubu at least in the eyes of the public (The History of Nigeria is replete with conspiracy theories) convinced a tired and retired Mohammadu Buhari to come out of double retirement to complete the corruption war from where he left off in 1985.
