Kogi West APC Senatorial Primary Election another June 12 in the making?

Image
By Lalage Obi The Kogi West people, of the olden days, were well cultured, well behaved, well mannered, and their integrity could be vouched for. But can same be said about the people of today? Such positive glowing tributes cannot be said about them today, as they have lost those values, norms, ethics and decorum. They are eroded or at best thrown to the winds.  Have the wise words of our elders lost their value and reverence in society? Once regarded as custodians of wisdom, respected for their age, experience and grey hair, elders now appear to command far less honour and influence.  Today, communities are witnessing a troubling decline in trust, unity and mutual understanding, as neighbours grow distant and people struggle to predict the actions of even those closest to them.

It has become a recurring environmental and infrastructural challenge that requires proactive governance rather than seasonal emergency reactions. Preparedness should begin during the dry season in anticipation of the rains, not during the peak of flooding when lives, homes, businesses, and public infrastructure are already under threat. Flood prevention is not an emergency-season activity; it is a planning-season responsibility. Across the country, states continue to experience avoidable flooding due to blocked drainage systems, poor environmental maintenance, illegal structures ...
