Oredola Adeola|

Hajia Hafsat Baba , Kaduna State Commissioner of Women Affairs & Social Development, has described Professor Okechukwu Ibeanu, as a Biafra apologist, who replaced Mrs Amina Zakari, as the National Commissioner for Logistics of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Professor Ibeanu, INEC's National Commissioner for Logistics


She made this statement in a tweet on Tuesday, via her official Twitter handle @HafsatMohBaba.

According to her, “ The unsung hero, in this very anticlimactic turn of events, is our dear Amina Zakari. She was bullied out of the logistics position in INEC and replaced by a male, Biafra-apologist Prof. Okechukwu Ibeanu. She has been vindicated, one of our very own Arewa Sheroes.


 In her tweet, the Kaduna State Commissioner said, “I sent out that tweet, with the hope that a statement will be derivable from the discourse it will generate.

“The bullying of Amina Zakari included very condescending references to the office being bigger than her, a woman. There was also the reference to how her being a Northerner alone was enough reason for her to create a conflict of interest.

“I am saying never again will women be cowed into silence  because the office is too big. Never again will people from the North be treated like a unit when bigots want to go on a tirade, especially condescending ones like those on Amina Zakari.

“I am not against Prof. Okechukwu y6 maleness or his being Pro-Biafra. It is just a polar opposite of Amina Zakari been female and from Arewa. These characters should not be allowed to limit one's occupation of any office in the land," the Commissioner tweeted.

She tweeted that historically, Biafra is indeed a controversial issue, adding that being a Biafra-apologist is not a bad thing, neither is being a male. Just like being pro-Arewa and female isn't bad.

The Commissioner further explained that the reference to Ibeanu's maleness & Biafracentrism in her "I told you" tweet was to create discussion. She added that she however did not get reasonable response from her critics.

Love life of Charles and Camilla

  By Chukwudi Iwuchukwu   To those who do not understand why I called the wife of the new king of England, King Charles, “Side Chick”, let me share their beautiful love story.   The course of true love never runs smooth, and that was certainly the case for the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall. It took years for the British public to accept Camilla as Charles’ new girlfriend and then wife in 2005, following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. But over the decades, fans have warmed to the Duchess and credit her with supporting the future king and becoming his rock.     As Charles and Camilla celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary last weekend, let’s take a look at their enduring love story, which started in the seventies…   A chance meeting at a polo match in 1970 marked the beginning of Camilla Shand’s relationship with Prince Charles. The two – both aged 23 – began dating, but their romance cooled when the future King was called away on nav...
