While I believe the honorary doctorate to Uba was right, UniZik should perhaps have been more creative in the choice of honour. To confer on him Doctor of Public Administration raises a legitimate question of Uba’s contributions in the field of public administration...
Let us now consider the phrase "Being economical with the truth": The meaning is "Conveying an untrue version of events by leaving out the important facts. It is a euphemism for lying, in short. More literally, it describes a careful use of facts so as not to reveal too much information. This is a trademark of politicians all over the world and is not unique to Nigerians...

For the umpteenth time, Anambra State is embroiled in a man-made crisis, staged to arrest the peace and progress of the state. Predictably, the provocateurs of the present crisis are the same as the ones that have spent a great chunk of their active time sowing dread, confusion and disorder in Anambra...
Thanks to Mr. Paul Adujie, no one is ever going to be able to question my patriotism again. In the same stream, any one who calls into question the stated and unstated motive of our next president should be considered a traitor...
