The Charisma Report

  Onyekwere Akym Uche Like many states in Nigeria today, Abia is also battling entrenched political interests, (principalities and powers) in the state’s affairs. Unfortunately, deep-rooted political interests and patronage is now a way of life because politics is a big industry in Nigeria. For those who may not know, service is usually the last thing on the mind of the average politician here. The uncomfortable truth is that people enter politics for different reasons but definitely not to make life better for their constituents or other people in need of help.

I knew peace was good so I wanted a peaceful country to live in. I wanted in because the national anthem says so.

Where there is peace, there is the base for the full potential of individuals, the full realization of creativity and true security of oneself. Our country is deprived of national peace because of the lack of peace of mind, not just citizens but lead...

 Do Social Media Influence Students/Teenagers Positively?             The Internet can be a weird place, and social media is only getting weirder as more and more people begin to gain access. It is a market square, a playground, a courtroom and any other setting you can think of. Money is made, connections are gotten, publicity is made, friendships and relationships are built and the list goes on and on.                Do you know that Facebook boasts a whopping 2.375 billion users daily? That's a lot and it is overwhelming. The social media changes everyday like most people do not even remember how life was before social media. The world today is a global village without a doubt.                  Many psychologists are worried about the identity crisis that the present generation faces. The lives of people especially students are greatly influenced by what i...
