Re: Peter Obi's prodigal sons and their industries of lies--APGA PRO Nkwonta

                            My Take
I read with complete shock and dismay, an article on Total Politics by Clem Aguiyi captioned "PeterObi's prodigal sons and their industries of lies" in the Saturday Sun of July 9th, page 22.
My interest was first aroused because of the writer that is a man I have known for a while but the use of prodigal sons on a publication mentioning the former Governor increased my curiosity.
It is a tragedy as far as I am concerned when persons that have never been in positions of leadership write with such reckless mannerism not minding the implications of their statements on the leaders and the led.

Should Buhari negotiate with Niger Delta militants?

Unfortunately, Nigeria has been on this issue for a long time now. It is a recurring decimal in our national life, and it is not going to stop. The only way it could be resolved is for Nigerians to sit down and discuss it. Otherwise, the people will continue to be confused by a government that is, itself, confused.
People have been saying the same thing for over 50 years. From the time of amalgamation to 1958 when they went to London to discuss the issue of minorities, the issue has been there. We have had Isaac Boro, Ken Saro-Wiwa and several other agitators. Today, we have the Niger Delta Avengers.  Even we, the Niger Delta people, are not happy about what is happening but we have no choice.
