  UNN, Prof. Ortuanya And The Rest of Us By  Ezea Samson Chinenyeonu  University of Nigeria, Nsukka is symbolic, monumental, and historic. The name says it all. It remains the only University of Nigeria—others are simply University of this or that, depending on their location and localisation.     Established more than six decades ago, the University stands out both in name and in quality. One remarkable reality, however, is that the leadership trajectory of the institution never recognized or favoured any “son of the soil.” At a time, it neither considered nor recognized any indigene of Enugu State, where it is situated, let alone a person of Nsukka extraction.    That remained the situation for years at the Ivory Tower, until the then Governor of Enugu State, Chimaroke Nnamani, broke the jinx by leveraging his connection with the Presidency to facilitate the emergence of Chinedu Nebo, from Enugu State University of Science and Technology, as the firs...

  FROM MISCHIEF TO MEANING: WHY NSUKKA MUST PROTECT A WORKING GOVERNMENT By Dr. Collins Ogbu - SSA to the Governor of Enugu State on Strategic Communications  1. The viral claim that Engr. Jude Asogwa, the Mayor of one of the largest Local Governmen Areas in Nigeria, threatened traders to support Peter Mbah or risk losing their shops is a classic example of how context can be stripped to manufacture outrage. A careful, honest listening of his remarks reveals no threat but only a metaphor. His reference to “shop” and “business” was a figurative appeal, urging Ndi Nsukka to treat good governance as a shared enterprise worth investing in and protecting. 2. Political communication often relies on imagery to simplify ideas. Jude Asogwa’s message was clear: when leadership is delivering results, it becomes a “business” that benefits everyone. Supporting such leadership is not coercion, it is rational self-interest. Twisting that message into a narrative of intimidation does a disser...

  EPISTLE OF VICTORY TO OUR PARTY LEADERS. Hon Engr Jude Chinedu Asogwa heartily congratulates the national chairman of our party All Progressive Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatida and other elected executives. In more prospective joy, it is worthy of extending the gratitude to our brand new deputy national chairman south Dr. Ben Nwoye. This magnifies the stimulus package of party politics exhibited by our disruptive governor His Excellency Barr Peter Ndubuisi Mbah in harmonizing the delegates and party faithfuls from Enugu State extraction. It has a lot to portray the future of good governance in Enugu State. More and even cordial operations are evident in the mean time of the party activities which will sustain victory in all endeavors. Congratulations! Hon Engr Jude Chinedu Asogwa, Executive Chairman, Nsukka Local Government Area. #APC. #NsukkaLocalGovernment. #JAMedia. © ARIELCONNECT BLOG
