Children’s immediate families will shape their personalities and determine as well as influence their lives’ trajectories as to career, marriage, and others. A child’s family has the greatest influence on him or her. My interaction with Osita Chidoka’s father informed as well as reinforced my belief that our families do shape our personalities and are linked to our achievements and failures in life.
We were in the expansive compound of Osita Chidoka when the news of Obinna Chidoka’s victory at the election tribunal filtered in. In response to that cheery and soul-lifting news, the throng of expectant party faithful, and friends and relatives of Osita Chidoka went into a frenzy of Jubilation. A soldier standing near me pulled out his rifle and fired into the sky. Then, staccato sound of gunshots rang out from different places in the expansive lush compound. And some ladies broke into a familiar song and gyrated beautifully and seductively to its rhythm.
Amidst this atmosphere of conviviality and jubilation, my wife and I were ushered into the living room of Osita Chidoka, the former minister of aviation. We sat across him, and there were other guests there, too. I had gone there to present my book to him. Then, an elderly man with very fair skin broke the silence that enveloped the room when he cleared his throat and called for prayer. The man, who is remarkably handsome, is the father of Osita Chidoka, the former aviation minister. His intellectual depth, philosophical bent of mind, and firm grasp of the bible, all these qualities of his greatly endeared him to me. He effortlessly quoted passages from the bible; and he knows some psalms in the bible by heart. Not only is he a man of great learning, but also he is forthright and honest. He advised us to desist from engaging in evil deeds.
My interaction with Chidoka’s father gave me a glimpse into the personality of Chief Osita Chidoka, Ike Obosi. Osita Chidoka’s strict family upbringing and the quality education he received are what prepared him for the leadership positions he held while in the bloom of his youth. His life is an exemplification of the Shakespearean truism that says this: “Some are born great; some achieve greatness; and others have greatness thrust upon them.” Chidoka achieved greatness, however.
Osita Chidoka worked as a personal assistant for the minister of state in the Federal Ministry of works and housing and the minister of transport between 1997 and 2000. His grasp of the Nigerian politics, sociability, amiability, and humility are the factors that secured the jobs for him. While working for those politicians, he learned the nitty gritty of the Nigerian politics.
Not surprisingly, he got a well-deserved preferment in 2007 when he was entrusted with the leadership of FRSC. During his leadership of FRSC, he formulated and implemented pragmatic policies, which led to the reduction of the number of bus accidents on our roads. More so, he organised lectures on road safety measures for commercial bus drivers and motorcyclists. Those that flouted traffic laws and rules were always punished in accordance with the traffic laws. He enforced the wearing of helmets by motorcyclists plying our roads. And it’s he that digitalized the processes for the acquisition of driver’s licence in Nigeria. More so, he contributed towards the solving of Nigeria’s problem of youth unemployment by recruiting qualified university graduates into different cadres in the FRSC.
So not surprising, he was appointed Nigeria’s aviation minister in 2014. He set to work soon after he was made the minister of aviation. It is to his credit that touting activities were stamped out at our airports. CCTVs were installed at the nation’s airports, which improved their security situation. And he had formulated policies aimed at revamping and rejuvenating the much-troubled Nigerian aviation industry before the ruling party to which he belongs lost the last presidential election. A loyal and staunch member of the PDP, he campaigned passionately for the re-election of former President Goodluck Jonathan. Being a man with genteel refinement, he didn’t descend to the low-level of calling their political opponents unprintable and uncharitable names while on the husting.
Now, some politicians who used to be in the top hierarchy of PDP had defected to APC, the ruling political party owing to pecuniary factor and other selfish reasons. Unlike those politicians without guiding philosophies, principles, and political ideologies, he has not switched political party. Owing to his deep religious background, and positive morality-code, Chidoka is not easily swayed by monetary inducements. He is still a staunch member of PDP. More so, till now, his ever- rising political career is not sullied by accusations of financial misdemeanour. EFCC is neither hounding him nor is ICPC on his trail for any financial wrong-doing. That is a measure of his shining and exemplary morality-code and probity. The Obosi-born titled Chief, Chief Osita Chidoka, is an exemplar of political sagacity and island of integrity.
Now, since Uche Ekwunife who contested for the senatorial slot of Anambra Central Senatorial Zone on the platform of PDP exited PDP, there have been relentless and ceaseless strident calls for Osita Chidoka to be nominated as the PDP’s flag-bearer in the forth-coming Anambra Central Senatorial re-run election. Ekwunife defected to APC upon the Nullification of her election victory by the Appeal Court.
Alongside other topnotch politicians who belong to the Anambra PDP, Osita Chidoka towers above them in terms of clout, cult following, leadership qualities, political sagacity, and clean public records.
Were Nigeria a civilized and developed country, Chidoka and his ilk would be included in the government at the centre owing to their reservoir of knowledge, political wisdom, probity, patriotism, and leadership qualities, not minding the political parties to which they belong. That will be inclusive government at work.

Do we not throw parties to mark our birthdays? And we celebrate posthumously the birthdays of our fallen national heroes, heroines, and global icons by giving lectures on the dates on which their birthdays fall. For many centuries, Christians have been celebrating Christmas, the birthday of Jesus Christ, our Messiah. It is said that he was partly human and partly divine. Jesus Christ, who walked the earth more than two thousand years ago, was a revered and important religious figure. Christians believe him to be the Messiah, the redeemer of human-kind. Biblical accounts about his life say that Virgin Mary gave birth to him after having an immaculate conception. Given the immense deeds and miracles he performed, and the revolutionary religious works he carried out while on earth, his birthday is worth celebrating.
But not every Christian sect marks his birthday on the grounds that his actual date of birth seems to be indeterminate. There are diverse and conflicting myths and legends surrounding his birth. A Christian sect, the Jehovah Witnesses, has produced books and religious journals that posit and argue the Jesus Christ was not born on December 25. It is also believed that a pagan festival was Christianized as Christmas in order to make it acceptable to people. Now, in Christendom, Christmas is the most important festival in the Christian calendar. It has gained wide acceptance as billions of people celebrate it. Those opposed to the celebration of Christmas argue that Christ didn’t instruct us to mark his birthday. And they say that Christmas has its roots and origins in pagan and idolatry practices.
But Jesus Christ whose birthday is celebrated on every December 25 preached, propagated, and spread the message of love among the people(s) of the world. He was impaled on the cross but he forgave his murderers their sins. The teachings of Jesus are anchored and based on love. The Holy Scripture says this, “Love covers a multitude of sins.” And he who is with charity has fulfilled the commandments of God. If you love your wife, you will not kill her for money – making rituals; and if you love your compatriots, you will not divert money entrusted in your care for the rehabilitation of bad roads into your private bank account. Are bad roads with craters not the major cause of road accidents in Nigeria?
The season of Christmas offers us the ample opportunity to renew and rekindle our love for other people. Christ whose birthday we are celebrating paid the supreme price to guarantee our salvation and redemption. He did that out of love. Do we meditate and reflect on the teachings and message of Jesus Christ during the yuletide season and beyond? Do we engage in acts of charity during the period, too?
Now, Christmas is the time during which Christians living in places other than their home-towns return home. It is time when members of a family experience family reunion. People consummate their marriages in holy wedlock during the period. Other ceremonies and festivals are celebrated during the period, too.
Sadly, the celebration of Christmas has assumed a despicable dimension and hue. Prior to the celebration of the festival, some people engage in immoral and heinous acts in order to make money with which they will buy food items, clothes, pieces of furniture, and other things for the celebration of Christmas. The Christmas festival has been monetized and commercialized. Now, it is time for the ostentatious display of wealth by the rich. Some rich people add new cars to their fleet of cars, and marry new wives.
And youths engage in unrestrained sexual concupiscence during the period. Consequently, some teenage girls are left with unintended pregnancies some months after the celebration of the festival. Some ladies’ futures were blighted and ruined by their indulgence in pre-marital sex during the Christmas period. An unwed single female parent will find it hard to cope with academic rigors in tertiary institutions. More so, in the recent past, during the celebration of the festival, some men who are dipsomaniac binged on intoxicating drinks, which caused them to have near fatal car accidents while behind the wheels.
There is no gain saying the fact that our perpetration of sinful and immoral acts and crimes has characterized the celebration of Christmas. It is sad that the commemoration of our Savior’s birth is tainted by our indulgence in unwholesome deeds. Consequently, Christmas has lost its spiritual and religious significances. Jesus Christ propagated and spread the message of love while on earth. He taught us to imbibe the virtues of holiness, righteousness, tolerance, and faithfulness. Do we manifest those sterling personal qualities that defined the personality of Jesus Christ? The answer is a categorical no.
The celebration of Christmas calls for sober reflection, and the re-dedication of our lives to true Christian living.

Morenike an orphan gave up everything to ensure that her siblings got quality education, whilst she remained an illiterate. We are truly inspired by her brother's narrative below.
‘Losing my mum and dad at the age of 4 is the darkest moment of my life. People don't know why I am so passionate about quality education for every child and the inspiration behind the Sera Schools Initiative. It is the woman in this picture. I know she can't read what I am writing here because she sacrificed her own education for me but I am glad her children can and my success today is her success. She is another Mother Theresa the world is yet to celebrate but I will. She is the major heroine of my success. She picked me up when everybody abandoned me.
Let me tell you little out of the many stories.
May 9,1994 is a day I will never forget, it is the darkest moment of my life. I was just four years old then and I woke up that day seeing people crying in our compound. What happened? I didn't know until I saw my mummy lifeless body being brought into the partially completed building we were living then. Mummy died that day and it was like everything was over, our world collapsed unexpectedly. My dad had died earlier, death taking my mum away again was like God decided to punish us for reason we never knew.
Being the 2nd to the last born, I was abandoned with our last born Gbemisola as family members came around to pick the matured ones among us. Sister Morenike was just 19 then but she refused to follow the person that came for her, she dropped out of school and started working to provide money for my grandma who was taking care of us then.
Grandma couldn't live long, she couldn't get over my mum death and she too passed away. Sister Morenike came back, she took me and my little sister who was a year old then and took us to Akure. She was 20 by then. She became my mother and that of my little sister. She put us in a lesson which was where I received my first education since she could not afford money to put us in a school. She told us that though she may never go to school again but that we will go and that she will do whatever she can to make us educated.
Lovely sister though I was 5 years then, I can still remember how you worked in a food canteen washing plates and many times you always bring your food for us to eat.
After some months in the canteen you raised money and venture into hawking small white beans that was common then to sustain us. From there you moved to hawking Maggi when you discovered that you could make more money there to feed us. You will hawk from morning to night so as to have money to buy akara and garri which was our best food then.
You later moved to Oja-Oba to start selling Okra and pepper and I have to join you at the age of 7 to start hawking and it was in the market under you that I learnt most of the things I know about business today. I can remember how rain always beat us in the market and how we always cry together anytime our sales proceed got stolen.
You sacrificed everything for me and today I am a better person, at least I am now a graduate and not an okra seller as many of my mates then are still in Oja-Oba. I am shedding tears already I have to stop here. Thank so much for beating me anytime you discovered I didn't go to school. The only assignment you could only do for me while I was in primary school is Yoruba but I am grateful you have once being my teacher.
Aunty "Meeke" was what I shortened your name Morenike to then because I was used to calling your name from morning to night. I cannot thank you enough. You became illiterate so that I can be educated, you became poor so that I can be rich. You sacrificed everything for me. I owe you so much even God know that.
Join me and celebrate another great heroine of my success Mrs. Morenike Babalola and call her on this number 08140186935 on my behalf to thank her for me. I am not telling this story for comments or for likes. I don't need sympathy, I have overcome everything already even though the pains has refused to go away but I know there are a lot people outside there that are going through turbulent moments like I had gone through and my story can ignite their hope. God doesn't punish us with the situations of our lives, He only prepare us for the future with them. If I can I do it, yes you too can, every child deserve quality education. I am who I am today because I had access to quality education. With the Sera Schools Initiative as a platform, I will do all I can to make sure every child in Nigeria have access to quality education. Watch out for the whole story in my Autobiography coming out soon. I am now a#graduate#from the prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University not just as a student but as NUASA President and ACCA Student Ambassador. Share to give hope to someone. It is my story...I am still far from the end.’

Brigadier General Cecilia U. Akagu and Brigadier General Clifford B. Wanda are Nigeria’s first married army officers to attain the same rank of Brigadier General.
Brigadier General Akagu is from Ankpa in Kogi State while her husband is from Enugu Ngwo in Enugu State.
Brigadier General Wanda joined the Nigerian Army in the mid-1980s, and he attended Nigerian Military School, Zaria.
The fact that the couple have different last names is not unusual, as some military personnel keep their last names for administrative purposes, especially if they met on the job. The distinguished Nigerian army officers met when they were both commissioned officers and got married.
Whereas Brigadier General Akagu and Brigadier General Wanda are not the first commissioned officers to be married in the Nigerian Army, they hold the distinction of being the first to attain the rank of Brigadier General as a married couple.

It was Hugo Grotius, a political scientist, who said this: “Governments come and go; but, a state remains forever.” But is this political axiom true in our today’s world? Not only do governments come and go; but also countries do break up into smaller nation – states. Some countries’ maps and boundaries have been re-drawn as some ethnic nations in those countries seceded from them.
World history is replete with stories about countries that disintegrated. USSR, a former super-power country, was composed of fifteen republics. But it disintegrated owing to the failure of its glasnost and perestroika system. Yugoslavia broke up into smaller countries; and Czechoslovakia dismembered, too. India and Pakistan used to be one country before now. In Africa, Somaliland emerged from Somali; and South Sudan broke away from Sudan. And Eritrea was formerly a part of Ethiopia. The number of countries that suffered dismemberment is many.
Till now, the wave of agitation for self-determination by ethnic nationalities is sweeping across the world. The Basque people in Spain are agitating for state-hood. Recently, the Scottish people conducted a referendum to determine their continued stay in Great Britain. Sadly, those agitating for the political emancipation of Scotland failed to achieve their goal.
The reasons behind the eruption of ethnic feelings and chauvinism in some countries which give rise to clamour for statehoods by ethnic nations are legion. A people in a heterogeneous country who are marginalized in their country’s scheme of things would battle to have a country of their own. Political domination of a minor ethnic group by bigger ones can lead to agitation for political sovereignty by the minor ethnic group. Ethnic hatred is the reason why nation-states in Africa descend into violent conflicts. Liberia, Sierra-Leone, Rwanda and others were ravaged by wars in the past. In Kenya, they are conscious of their ethnic origins; so, the kikuyu, Luo, and some other ethnic groups in Kenya do battle fiercely for the control of political power at the centre.
Back home, in Nigeria, since the inception of Nigeria, ethnic nationalities that make up the country have been making attempts to secede from Nigeria. During the colonial era, the Egbe Omo Oduduwa, a Yoruba Cultural Cum political group, declared their intention to leave the Nigeria union. The Hausa-Fulani people, who lay claim to being the sole and eternal custodian of political power in Nigeria, stated unequivocally in their nine point programme that they would like to secede from Nigeria. Isaac Adaka Boro, the Ijaw nationlist, declared the Niger-delta republic, which was short-lived.
The clamour by the diverse ethnic groups in Nigeria to leave the Nigerian federation has not died down even with the dawn of civilian administration in the country. Now, some terrorist groups with divisive ideologies have sprung in Nigeria. The Oodua group is to the south-west what MEND is to the Niger-delta people. In the past, The MEND group employed violent methods to express their displeasure with the Nigerian government. The Niger-delta militants would kidnap expatriate oil workers to express their grouse about the despoliation and degradation of their waters, eco-system, and soil through oil exploration by foreign oil companies. However, the militants were granted amnesty and rehabilitated by President Umaru Musa Yar’adua, which stemmed the tide of violence in the oil delta region.
But, now in Nigeria, it is the Boko Haram insurgency in the north that is threatening the corporate existence of Nigeria as one country. The number of victims of Boko Haram insurgency is mounting daily. Those displaced by the insurgency have sought refuge in neigbouring countries. The urgent and speedy containment of the murderous group has become a desideratum since the activities of the group have the capacity of plunging Nigeria into a civil war.
While the north is on the boil, and has been turned to a sea of blood, the Indigenous People Of Biafra , a separatist group, has been staging peaceful protests in the south-east for the release of Nnamdi Kanu. The clamour for the independence of the Biafran state has gained momentum and currency with the speeches read on Radio Biafra by Nnamdi Kanu. The Pro-Biafra agitator was arrested upon his return to Nigeria. His arrest and detention triggered the protests, which paralyzed economic activities in the south-east for some days.
But have we forgotten that the folk-hero with winsome smile, Colonel Emeka Ojukwu , declared the independence of the state of Biafra in the 1960s when the Igbos living in the north suffered genocidal decimation? The federal government fought the secessionists for thirty months. The lives and properties destroyed in the gratuitous civil war cannot be quantified. Our country hasn’t recovered from the effects of the ravages of the Nigeria-Biafra civil war.
Sadly, the desire for the creation of the Biafra state has resurfaced and resurged. In response to the agitation for the creation of the Biafra state, the Nigerian army is engaging in unnecessary sabre-rattling as though the indivisibility of Nigeria was sacrosanct and inviolable. History has shown that a people who are alienated and marginalized have right to strive for the attainment of self-determination. The subtle threat by the government to use military might to subdue the Biafra agitators is provocative and insensitive.
The question that should agitate the minds of every patriotic Nigerian is this: what is behind the Igbo youths’ romance with the idea of the independent state of Biafra? The intractable Boko Haram insurgency and the Pro-Biafra protests are traceable to many factors, chief among them is the structural imbalances existing in Nigeria. Inequity and lack of egalitarianism in a country predispose it to suffering violent convulsions. Kids of Igbo origin seeking admission into unity schools are required to score high grades in the entrance examinations. But their compatriots and colleagues from the north who have low grades are being admitted into unity schools. These differential treatments that are meted out to Nigerians cause indignation, anger and discontentment to well up in our hearts.
And past and current civilian administrations in the country have treated Nigerians with utter contempt. Our leaders have failed to address the issues that bedeviled our country. Millions of university graduates are without jobs. Those unemployed people are with the feelings of disillusionment. A person with revolutionary ideas can mobilize those disgruntled youths and instigate them to embark on secessionist move.
To some people, the Biafran idea is not about carving out a geographical space for Biafra. It has got to do with redressing the ills that have afflicted our country and giving restitution to victims of Nigeria’s past egregious and inhumane political leaderships. The proposed Biafran State is with geographical indeterminacy, however.

It is not every day that we get to meet young and talented people whose ordinary exploit and talent is distinguishing them from their peers.
Today, we bring you the story of Bashir who lost his father about twenty years ago but managed to finish secondary school despite the insurmountable challenges he faced.
Bashir later gained admission into a tertiary institution in Kano but has no money to pay for the tuition. To make ends meet, he came to Abuja and began a wheelbarrow pushing business, helping shoppers navigate the market while shopping while helping them to carry the things they buy.

He, however, is different from other ‘mai barrow’ as they are called. He dresses uniquely, like someone attending a social function or going to the office. He has a well-worn cap on his head, neat clothes, a pair of sandals worn over stockings, and a wrist watch.
He also speaks English, though not fluently.
He was discovered by a client, Chiemezie Claire Asunugwo-Anyanwu who was awed by his mannerism, dress sense and the likes.

Four notorious cultists terrorizing Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Delta State University Abraka and its environs have been arrested by the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad.
The cultists, whose names were given as Enahoro Benedict Lucky, 21; a.k.a Freshboy, Ekinedo Odion, 29, aka overdose, Emmanuel Iluore, 24; aka Gayo, 24; and Dennis Isehomen, 28, were arrested following cultism related activities which led to the murder of two students in September, 2015.
In an interview with Vanguard, the suspects revealed what caused them to join a cult and the activities their cult has been involved in.
Enahoro Benedict Lucky: " I am from Igueben Local Government Area of Edo State. I am a 400 level electrical/electronic engineering student of Ambrose Ali University, Ekpoma. I was actually forced to join a secret cult named Vikings, a.k.a Arobarja, when I was in 200 level. I was initiated by a friend, Sammy Salami near Faith Baptist Church, Uleme. Last year, a member of our cult group called Brutus was killed by Aiye confraternity at Ukpenu, later our group retaliated by killing a member of Aiye. I was with two of my friends when I was arrested at Lovereal Gardens in Ekpoma. I was arrested, while others escaped ."
Ekinedo Odion : " I am from Uromi in Esan North-East Local Government Area in Edo State. I was arrested in Good Shepherd Hotel, Ekpoma. I became a member of Jures cult while I was in Rivers state. Later, I was initiated into Black Axe in 2013 after I gained admission into Ambrose Alli University in 2013. Members of my cult group have killed several persons from a rival cult gang; they killed three Aiye cult members within Ekpoma and its environs."
Emmanuel Iluore : " I am a final year student of Ambrose Alli University, AAU. I was initiated into Vikings cult group in 2006 by a friend called Endurance, a.k.a Wizard. In 2013, the former leader of the gang, named Bobo, handed over the leadership of the cult to me after I paid N35, 000 to him. In November 2014, I became the gang’s number one man; I led the gang for about a year before I handed the mantle of leadership to one Kalif. The cut-to-size single barrel gun belonging to the cult used for operations was recovered by the police in Ben’s house in June 2015. It was Wisdom, the number one man of Black axe that killed Brutus sometime in 2014 .”
Denis Iseghohimen : " I attended Ambrose Alli Primary School. I was arrested at Rainbow Hotel at Ileh, along Idialu Bennington. I was initiated on September 26, 2013 in Delta State University Abraka. Vincent is our gang number and he is in possession of our operational weapon which includes a locally made gun and battle axe and regalia. I was among the people who killed a member of Aiye confraternity cult called Tilo, while Manfight killed Idohu in retaliation."
Efforts are ongoing to apprehend the gang’s armourer, Sammy Salami, who is currently at large.
