TOP 5 POLITICAL HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK 001
With Legendary J.O.E
It seems fitting - perhaps even divinely timed - that this unfolds as a recurring dispatch from my humble stable, where the whirlwind of d week’s political intrigues is calmly unraveled and critically appraised at week’s end. So, dearly beloved, with wit as my compass and truth as my anchor, I - the Legendary J.O.E - present to you the Top 5 Political Highlights of the Week.
Let the curtain rise, and let the chronicles begin.

1. A “Coalition” Is Born - Or Still-born?
Those that have gathered - elegantly christen their assembly a coalition - but to keen observers and astute students of history, the parade appears more of a collision or a confusion than any semblance of strategic unity. After all, how does one describe an opposition front that claims it can unseat not just any incumbent, but the political Gibraltar himself - a man with 32 years of power-laced conquest - merely by rallying spent forces whose current value equals that of a woman's virginity at 60?
Retired soldiers, x-governors, former this and that - many of whom now walk as strangers in the very states they once ruled. If they dare return, they can’t even lay claim to a unit, let alone a constituency. The same states they failed to deliver as sitting governors are now the moribund collateral they bring to the table of opposition.
True, their gathering adds flavour to our democratic entertainment, spicing up the theatre with noise and nostalgia. But seasoned minds know better - they pose no greater threat than a barking dog trying to wrestle down a lion simply because both possess canines. The jungle has rules, and in politics, history rarely bows to hollow hype.

2. MRS. AMAECHI – THE INDUSTRIALIST BREADWINNER
Proverbs 10:19 says, "Too much talk leads to sin." In this context, sin might not be moral failing, but the reckless spilling of private matters better left behind closed doors. Sometimes, the tongue trips where the feet fear to go - opening doors to questions best left unasked. So how does a man with 24 years in active politics, in a country where power is gold, publicly suggest he lives off his wife’s earnings?
Either he assumes his supporters will swallow such tasteless morsels without chewing, or he’s the one who engages mouth before activating the brain - a dangerous habit, especially in politics. Proverbs 17:28 also reminds us: "Even a fool is considered wise when he keeps silent." Silence here doesn’t mean muteness; it means weighing words like gold on a scale of sense.
When such a man sits at the head of a so-called coalition, then questions must rise - not excitement. If this is a glimpse into the intellectual fuel powering their alliance, then the engine is sputtering already. A coalition where loose tongues wag louder than concrete ideas may amuse the crowd, but seasoned minds know - you can’t build a house of strategy on a foundation of sound bites.

3. WIKE UNFILTERED – INDUSTRIALIST VS NDDC
In Wike’s trademark style - part thunder, part theatre - he granted the right of reply, and did not miss the chance to address Mr. Amaechi’s curious claim that his wife is an industrialist. With a smirk wrapped in sarcasm, Wike asked: “How does one become an industrialist without a single factory?”
Indeed, in this clime, titles fly like suya flames - a 63-year-old calls himself youth, and a lady who hurls insults by day and hugs politicians by night parades herself as an activist. We’ve become so casual with words that truth often dies under the weight of exaggeration.
But Wike didn’t stop at jabs. He turned the heat up - daring the President to release the forensic audit of the NDDC. He even placed his job on the line, insisting that if Madam “Industrialist” doesn’t feature prominently as a beneficiary of a N4 billion monthly contract, then he’d gladly bow out.
According to him, that’s how a trader became a titan - a simple family, elevated by privilege, enveloped by corruption.

4. YOUR NIGERIAN BANK CARDS NOW FLEX ABROAD
In the midst of political noise, a quiet triumph has emerged - Nigerian bank cards are once again being accepted overseas. A significant signal that the bitter pills of reform are beginning to work.
For a nation used to economic turbulence, this feels like a breeze in the desert. It may not yet be a harvest, but it’s a hopeful sprout. As the elders say, “When the wind changes, even the trees dance differently.”
