A GREAT NATION CANNOT ABANDON ITS RESPONSIBILITIES.  By Daniel Okonkwo The recent visa denial by Canadian authorities to senior Nigerian military officials, including Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Christopher Musa, has sparked considerable debate. While visa denials are not uncommon, particularly for government officials and high-ranking personnel, this incident raises questions about diplomatic protocols, national sovereignty, and the broader implications of visa policies. Under international law, the issuance of visas is a sovereign prerogative of each nation. Countries reserve the right to regulate the entry of foreign nationals based on their immigration laws, national security considerations, and diplomatic policies. Canada, like many other nations, enforces strict visa regulations to safeguard border integrity, uphold public safety, and maintain the credibility of its immigration system. The recent amendments to Canada's immigration regulations further reinforce this position. ...

 Barrister Aloy Ejimakor’s Reckless Misrepresentation: A Blatant Act of Forgery and Defamation Against Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor. By Daniel Okonkwo  Profile International Human Rights Advocate The legal profession is built on the fundamental principles of honesty, integrity, and accountability—values that every lawyer is duty-bound to uphold. Unfortunately, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor has allegedly and grossly violated these sacred tenets by engaging in forgery, misrepresentation, and defamation against a distinguished member of the legal community, Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor. A few weeks ago, social media was flooded with a falsified list of legal practitioners who purportedly represented the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in its unsuccessful appeal against its proscription by the Federal High Court. To the utter dismay of Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, his name was fraudulently included in the circulated list by Aloy Ejimakor. This blatant act of deception prompted an immediate a...

 PRESS FREEDOM UNDER ATTACK: JOURNALISTS IN NIGERIA FACE VIOLENCE, INTIMIDATION, AND PERSECUTION Ebonyi Prison Officials Assault Journalists Covering Court Proceedings: The persistent violence and intimidation against journalists in Nigeria for exercising their fundamental right to freedom of expression is a growing crisis that cannot be ignored. Journalists, in their line of duty, are increasingly confronted with murder, kidnapping, hostage-taking, harassment (both online and offline), intimidation, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detention, and even torture. This unwarranted aggression is not only condemnable but also raises serious concerns about the culture of impunity and lawlessness within certain state institutions. The right of journalists to cover court proceedings is constitutionally protected, and any attempt to stifle this freedom is an attack on the fundamental pillars of justice and transparency. In a shocking turn of events, prison officials attached to the Ebonyi...

 Africa's Resources and Leadership A Blessing or a Curse? The HIV Crisis and Nigeria’s Role in Leading by Example Africa is a continent rich in natural and human resources, yet it remains heavily dependent on foreign aid. This paradox raises a critical question: Are Africa’s resources a blessing or a curse? The leadership crisis, coupled with mismanagement of resources, continues to undermine Africa’s potential. The continent is not inherently poor—it is resource-rich but leadership-deficient. Corruption, inadequate policies, and a lack of visionary leadership have stalled progress. Instead of waiting for foreign donors to dictate healthcare policies, African governments must take full responsibility for their citizens’ well-being, particularly in healthcare, where millions rely on external support for survival. A glaring example is the ongoing struggle against HIV/AIDS. HIV can be deadly without antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, thanks to medical advancements, people with HIV...
