The Nigeria University system especially the university of Calabar needs an astute innovator like Prof. Ayara to head the decision making arm of the institution to continue to blaze the trail of instituting positive and progressive change as exemplified by the current VC, Prof. Zana Akpagu.

| From L-R Chief Angela with Miss Miriam the lady she gift wheelchair, and Miriam mum |
Every era in history demands a leader who understands the interplay between time and changes and has the capacity to marry such changes to the demands of time.
Yala has been in dare need of a leader, who can be there for the masses any time he/she is needed. Yala people have outgrown a stage whereby, mandates are given to people based on how interesting their political propaganda and pleasantries might sound.
We are now in the era, whereby, we are judged by every single move we make, our utterances, body languages, antecedents and all the likes. Even the most typical person in Yala now knows that, politics should be for the greatest benefits of the masses, rather than for self aggrandisement. So they can't be easily hoodwinked or cajoled by facade of inducement.
To clear the doubt of some Thomases, the track records of Chief Angela, for some few persons who have not been up to date with her landmark achievements, she has not been voted into any elective position in history. However, she has impacted so much in her immediate community, Adiero, Okpoma and the entire Yala through Oja-Ugu Foundation,whose membership is drawn from the entire Cross River North.
Chief Angela's strong bond for people has endeared her to very many people who named their children after her. She is accessible and closer to people than a heart can fanthom
Chief Angela is not of the school of thought that, rocket science or billions of Naira or Dolllars are needed to make meaningful impacts in the lives of people and progress in Yala.
Chief Angela has, through her exposure, had the connections within and outside Cross River to make waves of development in the LGA.
She is surrounded by technocrats, who can make the needed change happen.
Dangote, the richest black man on earth, CEO of Apple, Job Steve, of his blessed memory; Bill Gate, the richest man on earth, the youngest billionaire, Mark Zukerberg, CEO of Facebook; all of them are making waves today, because they had the passions to make impacts and allowed people of like minds make their inputs.
She is very determined to develop a solution that will serve as a template and compass for developments in Yala.
Looking at the setback from the absence of banks in Yala, she has expressed her concerns and is determined to, through an inclusive government, collaborate with well-meaning Yala sons and daughters, both home and abroad to bring banks to Yala.
Yala untapped potentials, will be activated through a combination of development programs which will be captured in details in her manifesto.
Chief Angela had been doing it, using smart and simple solutions. It is inborn in her. Leaders, in my own opinion, are born and Chief Angela is a rare gem among them.

Femi Fani Kayode’s wife has taken to her Twitter handle to cry out that her husband has not been the same since Daenerys Targareyan was killed by her lover in the now-viral Game of throne movie.
According to Fani Kayode’s wife, her husband needs to be told that Game of Thrones is FICTION and she (his wife) is his real queen.
She wrote:
realffk has not been the same since Daenerys Targareyan in
@Gameofthrones was killed by her lover Jon Snow. He says he is mourning her. He appears to be obsessed with her and keeps telling anyone that cares to listen that what Jon did to her was hideous and
that she should have been treated with love, understanding and compassion with a view to reforming her rather than being murdered. Will someone please tell him that I am the real Queen and only Khaleesi in his life and that Game of Thrones is FICTION?

Sir. Victor Abang is a fantastic example of wisdom, leadership and foresight, a utilitarian Who believes in the joy, happiness and satisfaction of the masses.
In a way of appraisal,he's the best mentor anyone could ever ask for.
A renaissance political leader of international reputation.
His rarest intelligence, knack for good representative and bringing substantial amount of development and dividends of democracy to the constituents.
Sir. Victor Bisong Abang will satiate all our desires in such an intense but wonderful way. A generous giver which has endears him to his people over the years and earned ''the king of the boys tittle".
I have an unequivocal premonition that our mandate would be restored and Justice prevail over any other interest.
His benevolent gesture has made his people (young and old,) across party lines love him and rally around him for supports and as well assistance financially and otherwise.
I am Paschal Nyiam and am well armed with all my courage and knowledge that his cause shall see the light of the day no matter the high level of bankruptcy peddled by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), because he's the one who ameliorate the plight of his people.
We are tired of the colossal, gross misconduct, misappropriation of legislative prowess, misappropriation of resources for developments, close door running of the leadership, youth's unincorporated in day running of government, lack/misuse of employments slots for our constituents,lack of bills to facilitate jobs creation to make life worthwhile for our people and other paining lapses and lacuna's encroached in the present Honourable member representing our fruitful and all round God blessed Ikom/Boki Federal constituency.

Nigerians are on alert as Legend Jay Jay Okocha took to social networking site, instagram to announce his daughter, Daniella is ready to settle down.
Augustine Azuka “Jay-Jay” Okocha is a Nigerian former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.
A quick and skilful playmaker, who is considered as the best Nigerian and one of the best African players of all time.
Okocha releases a breathtaking photo of his beautiful daughter and calls her his “baby girl”, the most interesting part is the caption “rocking” announcing indirectly that his daughter is single and ready to settle down.

When my wife gave birth, I was at work.
The doctor who was following my wife during her pregnancy called me to tell me to come to the hospital urgently.
When I arrived, I saw the child, it was as if I had been hit with a log of wood on the neck, I had a headache.
I sat down and the doctor told me that my wife had left, when she saw the child she did not support so she left despite her condition, she said that it is not her child and she left in tears, in a word she left the child in the hospital.
The doctor asked me what I wanted for the child, my answer did not take 1 second, in less than a second without hesitation I replied that I will take care of the child.
I had a small supermarket.
I sold the whole supermarket to stay with the child to take care of him day and night.
All my savings, and the check from the supermarket I invested in caring for the premature baby.
I gave him my heart, I gave him my patience, my love and my savings.
I took care of him myself without the help of anyone except the doctor.
Without hiring a nanny to keep him.
I devoted 1 year of my life without working without moving away from him, we lived on my savings until today my little premature became a beautiful little boy.
He became cute and he grew up well, well fattened.
This is where his mother wants to come back to take care of her son, of her abandoned child.
She came to ask for forgiveness on her knees.
She only cries when she sees how the child has changed.
I understood her and I forgave her mistake even if she acted badly I want a mother for my son.
We had no more money to eat when I applied on the internet at 00h, at 8 am I was called for an indefinite contract in a factory.
God knows how to do things.
One tip: never give up a child for anything in the world.
*SHARE TO INSPIRE SOMEONE!!*👇🏿
Two Nigerian children broke through the cycle of poverty and destiny in the last two weeks.
First, SUCCESS,from a dilapidated school in Delta. Sent home . A single interview changed her future. Why? She preferred to be flogged tirelessly until the cane tires , rather than being sent out of school . She touched our hearts and the society lifted her out of that dungeon.
The second is TANITOLUWA ADEWUNMI, His family migrated to New York in 2017. They became homeless and living in shelters. Then he took to chess game just a year ago. This week he won the the New York chess competition. He became instant rave in news all over the world. Of course money poured in, the family was gifted an apartment and today Tanitoluwa got invited by former President Bill Clinton.
The greatest fool is one that says God has no role in the affairs of humans.

Success clocked seven March 12, 2019
She attends Okotie-Eboh Primary School 1, Sapele
Success Adegor is currently in primary 3
Her best subject is mathematics
She took first last term in her class.
She hopes to be lawyer in spite of her present love for mathematics. She said she likes everything about lawyers.
She is the youngest of her parents’ three kids. A girl and a boy. The girl being the overall senior.
He is a Nigerian lawyer and also a senior advocate of Nigeria.
A brilliant lawyer and one of the finest Nigerian lawyers alive.
Dr Ikpeazu’s forte is election petition and let me explain why:
Dr Ikpeazu is Adeleke’s head of legal team that is handling his matter in court.
This man brilliantly came up with the argument that INEC returning Officer as it were lacked the locus to cancel the Osun state governorship concluded election.
His reasons were simple: Our electoral laws did not empower the Returning officer to do so and to his credit, Osun state tribunal members affirmed his brilliant argument by declaring his client winner.
Dr Ikpeazu will be leading Adeleke’s legal team all the way to Supreme Court and I know that with his deep profound knowledge of our electoral laws and his sheer brilliance which is beautiful to watch, victory is sure for the maligned Adeleke.
But aside this, what many people did not know that this was the same man that got the court to cancel Chris Ngige’s stolen mandate as the brief governor of Anambra state and then declare the not so popular Peter Obi as the governor of Anambra state in 2006.
Dr Ikpeazu marshaled his argument with eloquence and conviction from the lower court to Appeal court that Peter Gregory Obi was rigged out by Chris Uba and Ngige with iron clad evidences attached, the court after hearing his brilliant submission from this Onitsha born lawyer and with the evidences on their table can’t help but declare Peter Obi as the rightful governor of Anambra state even when many pessimists thought it was impossible for the court to do so at that time.
What this means is that he is the first Lawyer in our history to convince a Nigerian court to send a sitting governor packing.
And he is about to repeat the same feat with Adeleke.
What a man! History they say has a way of repeating itself.
An evasive and a quiet family man that shuns media publicity and the glamour associated with senior silk in this part. He prefers his work to do the talking for him.
A giant and a colossus of the legal profession.
Take a bow Dr Onyechi Ikpeazu! You have done well sir and history will remember the role you played in advancing and shaping our legal profession.

Penultimate weekend was that of palpable anxiety, uncertainty and visible anger occasioned by news of postponed general elections.
But those emotions were short-lived as friends and wellwishers of Ebriku John Friday, a social media influencer, journalist and the CEO of eHub Media Nigeria Limited began the fireworks that snowballed into a wildfire that consumed all and sundry in a frenzied feasting to mark the 40th birthday of the #mediapreneur.
The celebration which started in earnest a week earlier witnessed a buzz on social media space exactly a week before the D-day.
One would have thought that only high calibre politicians would have a traditional dance troupe come out in a celebrative candour to welcome their own. But no. Ebriku as he is fondly called is no politician but a dance troupe of his immediate community of Itega Okpame somewhere in Yala Local Government Area ushered him home in a grand manner.
In other to continue giving back to society, Ebriku on Thursday, 14, February 2019, installed a library at Divine Providence Orphanage Home, Igoli Ogoja to engender and entrench reading culture in the home. The library was commissioned on Saturday, 16 February, 2019 by Chief Paul Santus, CEO, Santuscom Agro - hub.
The grand finale of the celebration was a tension-douser as it succeeded in dousing the tension and anger arising from the postponed elections. The event saw friends and wellwishers describe the celebrant in highly superlative terms.
But of course, who has encountered Ebriku John Friday and would not describe him in superlative?!
Welcome to the beginning of life, welcome to the sweet spot and have a blast at life, Sir!
