ENGAGEMENT, SUPPORT AND FUNDS (ESF): A Strategic Framework for Sustainable Grassroots Political Mobilisation- Amb. Moses Ogbuehi  Introduction Politics is fundamentally about people. While elections determine who occupies public office, enduring political relevance is built through sustained relationships with citizens. Too often, political organisations become highly visible only during election periods, only to retreat from public engagement afterward. This cycle has contributed to declining public trust, voter apathy, and weakened grassroots structures. For any political party or movement seeking long-term relevance, there is a need to move beyond seasonal campaigning and embrace a model of continuous community engagement. One practical approach is the Engagement, Support and Funds (ESF) framework—a strategic model that emphasises regular interaction with communities, meaningful service, and responsible mobilisation of resources to sustain grassroots activities. The ...

The Secrets Of The Library Step into the library, quiet and grand, A world of wonders at your command. Shelves lined with stories, old and new, A treasure trove waiting just for you. In whispered hush, the pages call, Tales of kingdoms, big and small. Adventures bold and knowledge vast, Every book a bridge to past. Wander through the endless aisles, Lost in thought and secret smiles. A place where dreams and facts collide, In every book, a world inside. From ancient lore to future’s glance, With every read, you have a chance. To travel far, to learn, to grow, In the library’s embrace, you’ll know. So come, explore this haven bright, A sanctuary of endless light. For in each book, a story lives, And endless joy the library gives.

Ode to the Boy Child A beacon of hope Shining with humility, In warm embrace, let's celebrate, The boy child's journey, his destined fate. With laughter that echoes through the air, His spirit dances, without a care. In his eyes, the dreams of tomorrow gleam, With boundless energy and boundless zest, He embarks on adventures, fearless and blessed. In the embrace of family and community strong, The boy child thrives, where he belongs. With each step forward, he paves the way, For a brighter future, come what may. So let's honor his resilience and his grace, In every triumph, in every race. For in the heart of our culture, tradition and future, he holds a key, To unlock the greatness, for all to see. In his laughter, in his dreams so wild, We find the essence of an African child. So let's celebrate the boy child with care and pride, For in his journey, our future blooms.

In the pages of a book, a world awaits, Where dreams take flight and imagination elevates. Come, young readers, let's embark on a quest, To discover the treasures that books invest. In the land of words, where stories unfold, Magic awaits, for the young and the old. With every turn of a page, a new adventure begins, A journey of learning that never dims. Through forests of fairy tales and oceans of lore, We explore new worlds, eager for more. Characters become friends, and lessons are learned, In the pages of books, wisdom is earned. So let's open our minds to the wonders of reading, For in books, there's no end to our leading. To far-off lands and realms unknown, Reading sparks imaginations, like seeds sown. Let's ignite the passion for stories untold, For in the love of reading, hearts unfold. So grab a book and dive right in, Let the magic of reading begin! -Moses Ogbuehi - @macotiata

 *How It All Went* So this time in 2020, I had 2 film shoot.  Unfortunately, the DOP said he was going back to Ibadan immediately after the Shooting that lasted for a week.  So the discussion of him editing the movie immediately after the Camping was cancelled.  I got him a hard drive and he copied the rushes into the hard drive and left. Since then, I have been looking for means of editing the video but it hasn't been awesome feedback... Some editors I got would complain about some CUs missing, or some audio not clear or shaky.  At a time, I asked that I also see what they were saying. Truly, the boom mic messed so many scenes up, but can't it be worked on? NO! NO! NO!. I was just weakened and I totally felt I should let go, let go money and time etc. 2 Years, I got some new guys through a program and a recommendation...but when they also check what I have, they will say .... - Same Thing - I was tired of the excuses.  I dropped the Hard Drive and was goin...

There is no doubt that you heard me Everyone can concur to the fact that you sat with me But what everyone doesn't understand is that you never listened to me Not one word found a relaxing space in your heart. You already had your view and crowned it with a hat No matter how I tried to explain, You were there but your mind wasn't, of 'cos that's how you were trained You kept on repeating same thing I kept on correcting you about It's obvious your verdict has no round about So I am obliged to keep mute and allow you showcase that you are so brute Enough to my voice finding your ears Your making can't be corrected even in a hundred years Interprete my words the way you feel,  Someday I won't have to eat your meal Just a matter of time, this case is still at it prime. 

 It is no longer news that you miss me I have gotten used to that phrase. But how far? How much do you miss me. Are the words just words of mouth? Are they to make me think you still care? I am sure it is for you - "Out of sight is out of mind" You only miss me when you see me, when I am  outta here my name becomes sacred. Eye service.  You have my contacts you know my address yet you say you Miss me,haba! How can that be true? Those we miss we find a way to meet. The world is digitalized let know one speak lies. We are survivals, we have conquered. We live like Kings and queens.

Perhaps we need to refreshen our minds. Roman Catholics under  APGA has a 50 year long term plan to rule Anambra, after that Anambra will become and be smelling Roman Catholic. After that, you can't open your mouth and mention any other denomination as your own in this state. Read this article again (dated October 2014) to see where we are going. APGA, A CATHOLIC PARTY OR A PARTY FOR THE CATHOLICS? The fact that truth tastes bitter is a truism everyone that has come head on with the realities of truth must acknowledge. It is equally a truism that the most expensive peace is better than the cheapest conflict. In view of these, therefore, it is pertinent and apt at this time to address some silent but salient issues that may create a religious crisis in Anambra state and the South East if nothing is done to curb the problem. With what is happening in Anambra state at the moment, one begins to ask questions about the truth concerning the origin and objective of the ALL PROGRES...

Some days ago, I saw this picture and there was no other pictorial meaning but the fact as we can see. "Obasanjo endorses Atiku" and other comments and headlines too over the media space. If a Bishop and a Sheikh as seen in the picture are also in agreement with Former President; Obasanjo then one can also agree with PMB in his recent statement (Religious leaders should not dabble into politics -para phrased). However, few ours ago, Bishop Matthew Hassan KUKAH dropped a bomb shell. A RECONCILIATION NOT ENDORSEMENT Bishop Matthew Hassan KUKAH I have deliberately made this explanatory note long because I think it is necessary that people make up their minds based on the facts, given my central role in the event. I note that Sheikh Gumi has already told his own side of the story. Read Atiku: Sheikh Gumi speaks on presence during Obasanjo’s endorsement of PDP candidate I feel obliged to state my own side so that Nigerians can have a clearer picture of my own involvem...

*PRESS STATEMENT FROM PRINCE ENIOLA OJAJUNI FOR THE CELEBRATION OF NIGERIA'S INDEPENDENCE* NIGERIA@58: POWER MUST CHANGE HAND It's no news that things are getting shoddier now than they were 57 years ago. The wicked Leaders  and their supporters would want us to believe otherwise but they know it would be a hard sell. I’ve tried very hard to be happy as Nigeria celebrates another independence day. I tried switching on my trademark Nigerian-cup-half-full mindset; I’ve tried applying our iconic hope in a hopeless situation attitude, but the more I try, the more despondent I feel. I think my mind has taken too much of a bashing from Nigeria and it doesn’t want to continue with the deceit any longer. But what is there to be happy about? What has changed? What is working? Credit must be given to Nigerians for being resolute and mostly upbeat in a systems that has consistently deteriorated, the state of things would have led to a full scale revolt in other climes. The qual...

CHAPTER SIX: DECISION MADE At this, the whole class got interested. They had noticed the Eunice and Oyindamola’s tiptoes and are also aware that some female senior students had made their class a library. So they are eager to know who he had finally chosen. Most of the boys have been jealous that since they started the school, they have not been centers of affection from the girls, where as Kunle who had just been admitted not more than two months ago had captured the hearts of the girls of the school. Some had concluded that he is a lucky, brilliant chap. Meanwhile, in the course of Kunle’s speech, Bimpe had accompanied Funmilayo to SS2D. They had stopped at the entrance to hear what Kunle was saying. Bimpe also had gotten interested in what Kunle had been saying and the decision he had made. She had started to wonder if he had neglected her friend for another. Funmilayo herself had long gone to wonder land. Their last discussion was that of an agreement, he had wanted to be sur...

CHAPTER FIVE: THE LETTERS  Kunle Fosu came into the class with others immediately after the assembly. Barely had he sat when he saw Eunice staring at him. Eunice had been expecting him to sit down and bring out his books because she had hidden her letter in his English note book. Eunice seeing that she had been caught staring quickly looked elsewhere. Suspecting something, Kunle opens his locker and there right on his bag he found it. He could not touch; he looked at Eunice and back at the letter. He picks it up and reads it. He smiles as he read through but he was surprised at the end of the letter, it was not Eunice, it was Oyindamola.  She had written her name in bold letters. Yours sincerely PRINCESS OYINDAMOLA OF IGANMURE KINGDOM He looked around to see Oyindamola blinking her eyes. He shook his head, drops the letter back into his locker and just then the English Language teacher walks in. After the salutation, she demanded for everyone’s note saying that ...

Full text of Kemi Adeosun's resignation letter 14th September 2018 His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari President, Federal Republic of Nigeria State House Aso Villa Abuja Dear Excellency, Let me commence by thanking you profusely for the honour and privilege of serving under your inspirational leadership. It has been a truly rewarding experience to learn from you and to observe at close quarters your integrity and sense of duty. I have, today, become privy to the findings of the investigation into the allegation made in an online medium that the Certificate of Exemption from National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) that I had presented was not genuine. This has come as a shock to me and I believe that in line with this administration’s focus on integrity, I must do the honourable thing and resign. Your Excellency, kindly permit me to outline some of the background to this matter. I was born and raised in the United Kingdom, indeed my parental family home remains in London. ...

CHAPTER FOUR: AFTER SCHOOL HOURS The promise of seeing her after school hours relieved Funmilayo but she could not rest throughout her lessons. When the bell for break rang, Funmilayo ran out like a mad dog to the food shed, she was almost the first to get there. The junior students whose classes are closer to the food shed had formed a queue before Funmilayo got there. But because she is a Prefect she needed not to go on queue. She got all that she wanted in two sets and perambulated the length and breadth of the food shed looking at the male faces. One could see that she is in search of a dear one. The break over, Funmilayo could not see Kunle and she longed to see him. She stands from her seat. “where are you going to?” Bimpe asked. Bimpe had been watching her restless mood. “I am going to see him” Funmilayo replied. “But you told me that he was going to wait for you after school hours so why the rush?” Bimpe furthered. Funmilayo sits back still wondering, “But why didn’t he c...
