He is a man of the people, a leader who walks with his people, eats with them, listens to them, and fights for them. This report is about why he is called the King of Grassroots Politics. Arthur Akpowowo earned that title not by noise, but by presence. In all the eleven wards of Ethiope East, from Eku to Isiokolo, Okpara, Abraka axis and the farming communities, he is known by name and by face. He does not wait for election season to visit. He is there in good times and...

I cannot deny it, I have met some great women in my course as a writer and as a publisher of a luxurious and business magazine called Rich List.

History Made....AS SPORTS UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA IS PRODUCING CHAMPIONS

Image
  SPECIAL REPORT: By Mike Cerutti, Richlist international magazine publisher   One of the most ambitious experiments in Nigerian higher education is beginning to produce results, and it is coming from Idumuje-Ugboko in Delta State. The Sports University of Nigeria (SUN), founded by Senator Ned Nwoko, was built on a simple but radical idea — that a young Nigerian should never have to choose between a university degree and a professional sporting career.
