There needs to be a guideline in all manner of operations within the Nation. That is why the social media needs to be monitored and guided by the government. Freedom of information and expression is one of the key element of a Democratic society, however in the case whereby the channels of Information is not monitored and it's d...

Engr. Beloved-Dan Obinna Anike is a man after my own heart. Here is a man, who has stood for his generation, not because he was looking forward to leading on the big stage, but because of sheer love for humanity. He is a Christian in the true sense of a Pastor, who is a shepherd of the people. When I think of Engr. Beloved-Dan Obinna Anike, there are certain words that easily come to mind: thoughtful, brilliant, selfless, sympathetic, public-spirited and gentle. Leadership sits so comfortably on Obinna Anike.
