Tinubu widens the gap The APC Presidential candidate, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, continues to widen the gap between him and the other candidates in the 2023 presidential race as “the candidate to lose” the election.   Although not backed by any of the announced research results, there seems to be a general perception that Tinubu is the most likely candidate to win, despite his warts and all! It is this leadership, despite the warts, that we are actually referring to by our headline above.   No candidate has made as much gaffe as Tinubu has since the opening of the campaign season.   Indeed, Tinubu is now known to make at least one major blunder per campaign stop.   Yesterday, in Lagos, it was “APC/V” in place of PVC.   The day before his love for agbado made him to include “roasted corn” as one of the major requirements in electrification!!! The blunders are not limited directly to the candidate alone.   His entire team seems to have been infested with “blunder-virus”.   How c

  Quote of the Week   Picture of the Week   “Sports, the new gold field” One of the biggest industries yawning for exploitation in Nigeria, and particularly, the South East, is the Sports industry, with a market of over 80 million people to address, in the South East and South South alone.    This was one of the facts disclosed by Nkechi Obi, CEO, Sport Nigeria.   She was speaking in Enugu last Friday at “Nkata Umu Ibe” a “monthly distinguished Speakers Series” organized by the Centre for Memories. She listed a plethora of opportunities across the various segments of the sporting industry including the building of sports arenas in towns and communities such that users would not have to travel beyond two kilometres to get to such sporting centres.   Such opportunities also include the production of sports kits and other sporting apparel among others. “Don’t judge a book by its cover” There have been pockets of criticisms against the Anambra State Government in recent t
