When The Hunter Is Being Hunted...In Staunch defence of Prof Mike Ozekhome SAN

Image
 " The greatest leaders are often misunderstood, for they speak truth to power and walk paths unseen."                • By Mike Cerutti Osagie  In staunch defence of Prof. Mike Ozekhome, SAN CON OFR, a titan of Nigeria's legal landscape, we say this: his reputation precedes him. For over four decades, he's been a fearless champion of the oppressed, marginalized, and the constitution. His name is synonymous with human rights, democratic resistance, and the fight against authoritarianism. Ozekhome's life is a testament to his unwavering commitment to justice, not personal gain. He's stood for journalists silenced for speaking truth, activists detained without trial, and communities ravaged by state and corporate excesses. He's a bridge between law and conscience, promoting peace through dialogue, justice over vengeance, and constitutionalism over arbitrariness. The current matter, a civil dispute masquerading as a criminal case, risks sett...

Primate Ayodele’s Fulfilled Prophecies On Mozambique, Nigerian Army, South Africa

Image
Even if people continue to criticize Primate Ayodele from January to December, those who celebrate him on a daily basis will continue to increase because God has blessed him beyond human understanding. I doubt if there is anyone in Nigeria who releases voluminous prophecies at least two times in a year and records massive fulfilment of the prophecies almost immediately after release. It’s a rare grace that people would love to enjoy, but God has decided to anoint Primate Ayodele for that purpose, and this is why you will hardly see him struggle for attention or try to place himself in the same position as other men of God; he doesn’t really care because what God has given him is more than enough. On Saturday, the 20th of December, 2025, he released his prophecies for 2026 in a 146-page booklet and to the glory of God, nothing less than 50 prophecies have been fulfilled already, yet we are still in January. In the last few days, there were some other prophecies that got fulfilled in add...

PROF. MIKE OZEKHOME SAN CON OFR REPUTATION ...IJAW YOUTH COUNCIL (IYC) WORLDWIDE MAKES CASE

Image
The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide has observed with deep concern and dismay the orchestrated campaign of calumny and trial-by-media surrounding the ongoing legal proceedings involving the esteemed Chief Professor Mike Ozekhome, SAN, CON, OFR, a distinguished legal luminary, human rights advocate, and proud son of the Niger Delta. The IYC, in a statement signed by Bedford Berefa Benjamin National Spokesperson, Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide ,it emphasizes that the filing of charges does not equate to conviction, and cautions against deliberate attempts to tarnish the reputation of this respected individual. The council notes that attempts to portray allegations as settled facts are not only misleading but also malicious, and an affront to the principles of justice and fairness. The IYC is particularly disturbed by the selective leak of prosecution materials to the media, while deliberately downplaying or ignoring the defendant's explanations and legal defenses. It is reckle...

CRG Highlights Education, Security Reforms Under Lawal in Zamfara

Image
The Centre for Responsible Governance (CRG) has commended Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, for what it described as a “quiet but far-reaching reform agenda” that is steadily redefining governance and restoring public trust in a state long associated with insecurity and institutional failure. In a statement issued on Sunday and signed by its Spokesman, George Obande, the Centre said Governor Lawal inherited not merely a struggling state but one in “urgent need of rescue” after years of systemic decay, abandoned public institutions and weakened confidence in government. According to the Centre, less than three years into his administration, Lawal has pursued a deliberate governance reset anchored on structural reform rather than populist gestures, with measurable impact across security, education, healthcare, infrastructure and economic management. “Zamfara was for decades a textbook example of how governance failure can trap citizens in cycles of insecurity, poverty and lost opportu...
