My attention has been drawn to a widely circulated social media publication titled “I Weep for Akwa Ibom,” authored by Barr. Inibehe Effiong, in which several concerns were raised regarding the state of Etinan Institute, alongside references to certain public office holders and stakeholders. While it is not out of place for citizens to express concern about the condition of public institutions—particularly one as historically significant as Etinan Institute—it is important to emphasize that the medium and manner of such expressions matter greatly. Social media platforms, especially Facebook, are not always the most appropriate or effective channels for addressing sensitive…
The prestigious event took place at Windsor Castle, London, on Wednesday, 17 March 2026.
Recent public commentary by Inibehe Effiong alleging that Umo Eno purchased a pair of shoes worth two million naira has sparked unnecessary controversy and concern among well-meaning citizens. While it is the right of every citizen to hold leaders accountable, it is equally important that such criticism is grounded in verifiable facts rather than speculation or exaggeration. Unsubstantiated claims, particularly when amplified in the public space, do little to promote accountability and instead risk misleading the public. Governor Umo Eno did not attain his current position without a proven track record. Before assuming office, he was widely recognized as a…

His Grace, Prophet Ekong Ituen is a major Prophet in Nigeria. The accuracy of his prophecies has made him a spiritual force to reckon with. You may criticise him endlessly, call him a political prophet, an APC or PDP prophet, but one thing that cannot be taken from him is the consistency in his prophetic ministry. It is on record that immediately after PDP convention @Ibadan, Ituen warned the Chieftains of the party not to celebrate yet because in his revelation, he saw a court of competent jurisdiction nullifying the convention, as the party will find it difficult to field…
The leadership of Oron Union Uyo Branch has noted with concern a publication authored by Mr. Eteobong Nyong Inyang, which purportedly reports the recent thank-you visit of the Branch to Sir Victor Antai, PhD, Executive Director (Projects), Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). Ordinarily, such a publication would not have warranted a response. However, the report is riddled with serious distortions, glaring omissions and misleading insinuations, making it necessary to clarify the true account of what transpired during the visit. It is important to state from the outset that Mr. Eteobong Nyong Inyang is neither the Publicity Secretary nor the Secretary…
