OUT: The Move To Unite Obubra  Eriacy Confidence Oba  This tournament seems to be very strange to many OBUBRA citizens, it is normal because Obubra as a nation may not have experience this kind of frequency before. Many will still be skeptical and in doubt as we progress on the unity project because it is coming at a time we least expect it to come, at a time many have lost hope in the developmental prospect of Obubra, at a time when many think it is only the local government chairman that has the sole responsibility of developing Obubra, at a time when everyone is chanting, "A NEW OBUBRA IS POSSIBLE" without taking any proactive step to actualize the course.

I urge every Obubra sons and daughters not to be left behind because the train of aggressive developmental stride has taken off. If you

C'River Judiciary: The Politics Of Denying Caesar What Is Caesar's And The Implications.  ~Archibong Edet The appointment of a substantive Chief Judge of Cross River State has generated commentaries in many quarters and has portrayed Cross River State in bad light. An appointment with clear constitutional provisions on the procedures to follow ought to be done with equanimity. It is worth stating unequivocally that the office of the Chief Judge of Cross River State is a sacred one and should never be subjected to political affiliations or partisanship. We must remind ourselves that this is not a secular election that calls for campaign and manifestos as seen on social media lately. The sanctity of the office of the CJ must be preserved and not whittled down by the shenanigans of desperate politicians.  The ongoing drama in the Cross River State judiciary is not unprecedented. In a rather sad retrospect, the Rivers State Judiciary experienced the same dilemma from 20th August, 2
