Ezinye Eucharia OtiMay 14, 2019

Like every other thing that has a beginning, the Nigeria 2019, general elections, has come to an end. It all started with the flag off of electioneering campaigns; for about 91 registered political parties. However, what I do not know is, whether all the registered political parties whose logos appeared on the ballot papers campaigned...

The Aso Ebe Phenomenon, a trend we must watch with care

Ezinye Eucharia OtiJanuary 21, 2019

Uniforms as we know are means of identification for family, religious, or social groups. At the family level, when there is a celebration or burial, the celebrating or bereaved family are usually recognised by their uniforms.

Just like yesterday, we are already counting down to 2019 Nigeria general election.

Arochukwu Kingdom Will Rise Again

Ezinye Eucharia OtiApril 30, 2018

The history of Arochukwu Kingdom remains a peculiar one in the history of the black race; and I passionately believe that it cannot be overemphasized. Though the history is accessible to everyone, via electronic, print media and oral tradition, it however, gives me so much joy to do a recap, whenever such need arises. For...

The Dedicated Heart

Ezinye Eucharia OtiFebruary 4, 2018

In this very special edition of Aro News, Agwabumma has thought it wise, to appreciate, and literarily honour the dedicated hearts in Aro Kingdom. To be dedicated to any cause, it means devotion, conscientiousness, loyalty etc, to that cause. This heart speaks we, not me. It works like a stereoscope, feeling the heart beat and...

Let me close with this piece I came across in the internet, published as copied. Maybe, it will help us understand the negative impact of this evil very well. We were praying for someone who was cheating on his wife. And I was struck by what one person said in his prayer: “Lord, work in...

In the last edition of Aro News, precisely, the Ikeji edition ; Mazi E.K .O Ivi, a man I call, the encyclopedia of Aro history, fed us with a sumptuous meal on Aro traditional marriage and its steps. It was simply unputdownable, meaning- you cannot afford to read it half way. For those who hunger...
