It is both unfortunate and disingenuous to witness the dissemination of some misleading and inflammatory narratives being aimed at His Eminence, Dr. Eberechukwu Oji, the Eze Aro of Arochukwu Kingdom, and the Southern Nigeria Traditional Rulers Council (SNTRC), following a Pan-Nigeria traditional rulers conference held recently in Abuja for a health programme convened by the Federal Ministry of Health, supported by the World Bank, and attended by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. To frame the innocuous, health programme-focused Abuja event as politically motivated and the Eze Aro as bringing “shame” to the Igbo nation is not only factually incorrect, but also a disservice to national unity, the Eze Aro’s unblemished pedigree, and the legacy of Pan-Igbo and Pan-Southern cooperation that our forefathers envisioned. We must uphold the truth with facts, not narratives of ignorance and sentiment. First, let it be noted that the Southern Nigeria Traditional Rulers Council was founded on a structur...

  There is growing public disquiet in Enugu State as concerns mount over the welfare of pensioners and families awaiting gratuities, even as the administration of His Excellency Dr Peter Mbah continues to highlight impressive internally generated revenue (IGR) figures.

However, critics argue that the true test of governance lies not in headline revenue numbers, but in the lived realities of citizens, particularly retirees who devoted decades of service to the State. Multiple complaints from affected families who spoke to Fanatic Patriots Magazine suggest that accessing gratuities and pension entitlements has become a prolonged and exhausting ordeal. According to accounts shared with our newsroom, pensioners and next-of-kin have been subjected to repeated verification exercises, sometimes described as “verification upon v...
