Are You OBIfied? The Tomfoolery of OBIdience without the ground works – By Mideno Bayagbon
Let me come out upfront and confess: I was wrong that the closest the Igbo nation will come to the Presidency in 2023 is either through Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi or through the current Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike.
