Politics: Akpabio A Loud-mouthed Gov. Paying The Price Of Loyalty

His names are Godswill Obot Akpabio. He is the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, South-South Nigeria. To many of his admirers, he is the golden governor, who has turned a once sedentary state into a wonderland of a sort. The land of beauty. The land of pride. The city that works for the people, and other Nigerians.

But, to his adversaries, the Akwa Ibom helmsman is the sweet-talking, 'loud-mouthed' governor, who never gets tired of advertising his achievements and dramatic turn-around of his state.

It Happened In Kenya, Where is Next?

Humans have been trolling the earth ever since the biological coming together of the universe. Trolling within the context of my usage herein is in the positive light, but it draws a negative shame, when the true accounts of man's parade through his tussles and quest to make relevance on the earth is place to question. Humans know better to be upright in their dealings and interractions from all angles, yet, the reverse is almost the case.

The events across the world over the last couple of decades is crippling albeit terrifying. That the things that went down during the course of recent history actually were the case leaves so much to be desired. Many questions will be asked, many have been asked before now; and more will go down, just as accounts taken can not all be answered, but the common factor is that, man has been his own worst enemy. Each one of us has evolved over time to be a bane to others and this has threatened the collective scrutiny of every bid we can make at forging a decent world, one which we can call home. How bad things have become!

When 13-year-old Daniel Oikhena hid in the tyre compartment of a Lagos-bound Arik plane on August 24, little did he know he was going to become a hero. However, luck smiled on Daniel after a safe landing and he became the boy of the moment. Daniel’s mother, Evelyn, had earlier disclosed that her son had wanted to be a pilot. Since the incident, seeing Daniel now is like forcing the carmel through the eye of a needle.
