The hardest task is climbing upwards the mountain top, the easiest to descend.

A faction of Ohanaeze Ndigbo on Wednesday pleaded with the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last general election, Mr. Peter Obi, for the sake of equity, national integration, and peace, to drop his 2027 presidential ambition and support President Bola Tinubu’s bid for a second term. In a statement in Abakaliki, the Deputy National President of Ohanaeze, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, told Obi that winning the presidency from the incumbent, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will prove exceedingly challenging, reminding him that only the southeast will not make him president. He maintained that facts on the ground show that it will be very difficult for Obi to win, saying that the current political climate, marked by a lack of unity among opposition leaders and the inordinate ambition of Atiku Abubakar—who, at the age of 81, seeks the presidency—poses a significant risk. He added that the appointment of some southeast people by Mr. President into key positions, like Senator Dave Umahi as the Minister of Works, entrusting him with the critical task of rehabilitating the dilapidated federal road infrastructure in the Southeast, will be another factor, adding that President Tinubu has significantly increased federal allocations to the Southeast. Isiguzoro further noted that both Obi and Atiku will likely fracture the opposition vote, which will ultimately pave the way for President Tinubu’s reelection. He said that if this scenario were to unfold, the repercussions would undoubtedly fall heavily upon the Southeast. This was as he urged Obi to consider supporting Tinubu’s second bid. The greatest enemy to Igbos are the Igbos themselves. Nigerians. The entire Nigeria recognizes the grace upon Mr. Peter Obi except the Igbos. It's unfortunate.

Without passion it will be so difficult to actualize God's given task and his purpose in our lives.

A GPS With a Seductive Female Voice Encourages Men to Take More Driving Risks The study consisted of two experiments. The first involved real-world driving simulations where male participants received directions from GPS voices that were either high-pitched or low-pitched female voices. Results revealed that men receiving instructions from a higher-pitched voice were about 40% more likely to run yellow lights. Researchers speculated that this behavior stemmed from men wanting to show off or demonstrate their driving skills. In the second experiment, researchers examined two groups of men in a virtual reality setting tasked with overcoming obstacles. On average, men exposed to a higher-pitched voice navigated obstacles more quickly, suggesting that the pitch subconsciously encouraged them to take greater risk.

While I don’t like her as a person and I strongly disagree with her politics, we must nonetheless examine closely the issues she has attempted to highlight: 1. She is speaking to the masculinity of the Nigerian state. 2. The limitations imposed on the female gender in conferring citizenship rights. 3. The entrenched patriarchy within the 1999 Constitution (as amended). These are critical issues that must be addressed. Can a Nigerian woman confer citizenship rights without restriction? The clear answer is no. Let’s set Kemi aside and focus on the real task ahead: What does it truly mean to be a Nigerian citizen? And why should such a fundamental right vary based on gender provinciality ?
