Joe Biden had been in public office for 43 years. He was elected into the Senate at 29. Served in the Senate for 35years and 8years as Vice President yet he couldn't afford to pay for the expensive cancer treatment of his son who was the Attorney General of his State of Delaware. The son was a Iraq war veteran who served in the Army before he became Attorney General. Biden had to offer his house for sale to be able to pay for the medical care of his son, of course the son must have spent himself out before Biden, the father could come in to help pay the bill. Obama had to stop him from selling his house and offered to pay for the medical care from his own personal money. Unfortunately the son died but not after the father had given all his best. Delaware is very close to Washington and he had come to...

The Kogi State governor said his administration has concluded plans to procure additional two fire engines for the effective operations of the Fire Service in the state. Governor Yahaya Bello stated this on Thursday in Lokoja when the Comptroller General of the Federal Fire Service, Engr. Joseph Aniebe paid him a courtesy call.

A Perilous Voyage to (Oral) History

By Adinoyi Ojo Onukaba I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all members of Ihima Re-Union Group for inviting me to speak at this occasion. My special thanks goes to my brother, Razaq Obosi, for making sure that I honoured this invitation. I commend the spirit behind the establishment of this group which is meant to promote peace, mutual understanding and the development of our community. Any platform that allows us to talk about how to advance our common interests as well as how to manage our differences is always preferable to the one in which we fight ourselves. Therefore, we must keep this group alive and transform it into a formidable platform for the unity, progress and development of Ihima. Throughout history, the harbingers of change are usually no more than a small group of committed and dedicated individuals. So let us never under-estimate the power that this group wields in the age of instant communication which makes it possible for millions of people to sh...
