Mayor Otisi Omoji Otisi was born in 1926 to OMOJI OTISI of Ndi Omoji, Ihebu Ameke and Madam Inyang Eme Echeghe (Nwaegele) of Ndi Echeghe, Ihungwu, Ameke both of in the Ohafia Local Government Area of Abia State Nigeria  in West Africa. He attended the then Church of Scotland Mission School, Afiankwo, Abiriba where he obtained his First School Leaving Certificate in 1939. For his secondary education, high school equivalent, he passed through then famous Aggrey Memorial College, Arochukwu, under the revered mentorship of the great Alvan Ikoku (of blessed memory). The Abiriba community identified the young Mayor as one of the talented potentials of his generation and magnanimously sponsored him to study at the pioneer and prestigious University College, Ibadan (UCI), Nigeria, an overseas affiliate to the University of London, London. He successfully completed his course of study there in record time in 1952, thus, becoming one of the few pioneer graduates of the institution with a

     It is a well known fact that in Nigerian elections, funding is a very big factor. Millions are spent to secure the party nomination and much more is spent campaigning to get to power. For this reason, we have politicians looting the treasury to secure their reelection bid. Those that go for sponsors from political godfathers have to pay back with appointments and contracts when in power. This begs the question, how do you win an election with smaller funds and a party platform with no national spread? An uphill battle you might say and a miracle is required. Something happened  in the last Presidential election that changed my views about the Nigerian electorate. I always believed that it was hard to defeat and incumbent president because of the resources at its disposal. It was clear that the Peoples Democratic Party outspent the All Progressive Congress and they had more machinery in all 36 states of the federation. What then went wrong that people abandoned the stomach infras

       For a while, notable Nigerians have been calling for the police command to be run by states. This is a significant shift from the model we have in place today where the federal government is in charge of running the Nigerian police force under the leadership of an inspector general. This model is not only inefficient but is not proper for a country as large and diverse as Nigeria.     This article already assumes we need to shift to a state police model and will be looking at a way to transition without causing so much disruption in the security formations in place currently. Let us first talk broadly about the criminal justice system. This is made up of three major arms namely, Law enforcement, the court system (judiciary), and correctional facilities.  These 3 arms are linked together and must work together to give a smooth ruining criminal justice system. It is expected that when an arrest is made or a complaint is received against an individual, the law enforcement staff get

Patient is a 57 year old nation who presented with a 2 year history of national division and call for tribal self determination. She developed this symptom of tribal call for self determination 2 years ago after a change in leadership in the nation. This symptom was associated with years of systemic corruption, mass poverty, national insecurity and an army of jobless youths. This national division was alleviated temporarily due to a 6 year leadership of the past government and a national conference that brought hope for a national restructure and a new constitution. Symptoms are exacerbated by the skewed representation in appointments made by the present administration to the disadvantage of a region, speeches that fuel disunity by elder state men of the various regions and the arrest of leaders of movements that preach dissolution of the union. Treatments that have been attempted include, a national conference, use of force to silence agitators, various dialog with leaders of variou

This write up is just my personal opinion on the present Nigerian policy direction and what needs to be done at this time. Since the government of President Buhari took over power, we have had to deal with various problems that are both transferred from previous governments and new ones. We have continued the war on terror, started a seemingly new fight against corruption, tried to deal with a drop in oil price which is our main source of income, had a delay in the formation of the Presidents cabinet, a delay in budget passing last year, budget padding issues, new uprising in the South east and South  south, plus a lot more. Where do we stand today on all these issues? We are in an economic recession, the Naira is falling against all major currencies in the world, our oil production has reduced by more than half due to attacks on oil pipelines, terror attack has reduced but has not been extinguished. fight against corruption is not yielding a lot of conviction and we can go on and o
