WELCOME TO UKWUOMA OBELE'S BLOG

I saw recently a post on one of my favourite blogs, an honest question by a group of concerned and perplexed good girls asking why eligible bachelors are getting married to bad girls or retired "runs" girls. The question was addressed to a popular relationship blogger and he attempted to supply the answer but in my own opinion did not do a good job of doing so. So here is my own attempt and advice to these girls: World over, strange things are happening, didn't begin now but has recently become more frequent. There is a total loss of values and what was once being frowned upon is now generally accepted. The world seems to have shifted from its center and its now totally upside down and the good old values we were brought up with is now being rejected and discarded and what is accepted today are things that were before termed abominable. In simple terms, good is now bad and bad is now good. Don't fret however, this group of eligible bachelors marrying these women are...

We often mistake lust for love and many people mistake infatuation for true love. So many people preach that if you are no longer happy in a marriage then you should just call it quits. How about telling people to remember what made them happy in the first place and work on getting back to that place. A man wakes up in the morning and tells his wife he wants a divorce because he has fallen in love with someone else even when children are involved. The fact that you once proposed marriage to a person means you once considered her above every woman, how then do you discover years into the marriage that you love another? Especially after having kids. You probably have seen a slimmer woman or a pretty face or a sexy woman and concluded that you now have a new love. The desire for something new is not usually love but an attraction which can be classified as lust or infatuation. Any time you put your new flame above your children, then you know that you are deep in lust. Sex is an integra...

It is no longer news that North Korea has conducted series of successful nuclear test, threatening the peace of mankind. There is a prediction in some quarters that if the actions of the North Korean leader is not checked by the global community that it may eventually lead to a Third World War. During and after the Cold War there were series of moves by the nuclear powers to destroy and stop the production of nuclear weapons, but all to no avail. In fact during the Cold War we had the SALT 1 and SALT II  and later the IAEA was formed to control the productions of nuclear weapons by nation state, however the activity was thwarted by the so called powerful states in a bid to maintain their hegemony. International politics is not played on the basis of morality or fair play, at its best , it is the survival of the fittest, this is the reason why all the five permanent members of security council have nuclear weapons and the counties that are respected are the ones with nuclear weap...

We know that the last administration of President Goodluck Jonathan in an attempt to solve the nation's power challenges privatized the power sector to different enterpreneurs. The move however failed to supply the much needed power for the nation's consumption. After President Buhari's takeover, not much has happened with regards to providing power to run industries, homes and business on which the economy depends . The current minister of power has introduced the energy mix strategy to help supplement what the country generates but so far it hasn't impacted much on the power problem. We have a situation right now where power generated comes from hydro power plants, gas and renewable energy. And we know so far, the combined power generated from these sources have been too little to serve the country. But do we know that Nigeria flares gas everyday and wastes what could be added power generation from gas. Why not open the power sector like the telecommunications sect...

I have keenly watched people from different parts of this country agitate or vent their anger either in support or against the renewed movement for ‘Biafra’ and from what I have gathered so far there are three categories of people in this agitation. We have those who still hold the memories of Biafra, there are those who see Biafra as a means to end the injustice in our land and those who want a sovereign territory known as the State of Biafra. Let’s analyze the above postulations. The Nigeria Civil War was a war that was fought among brothers and sisters even though the commanders did not actually have this at the back of their minds. The war would have been averted if the protagonist were as matured and knowledgeable as the leaders of USA and USSR who during the Cuban Missile Crisis averted a major world war by just a phone call. The war brought distrust, disaffection and disunity among sister tribes. The post war policies instead of healing wounds created more disa...
