BEFORE YOU SHOUT 'THE PARTY IS SUPREME....'

I just stumbled on a post on my Facebook news feed from someone who happens to share the same political enclave with myself.

The said post reads in part, "the party is supreme."

With shock, I wonder the rationale behind the post made by this individual.

Party is supreme? Yes! When the party hierarchy make informed decisions that reflects the sentiment of the majority of its members.

Party is supreme when general interest supersedes individual interest.

Party is not supreme when the party hierarchy allow the opinion and selfish interest of its selected party elders and deacons outweighs the general opinion of the members.

Party is not supreme when the most preferred candidate for elections is not given ticket by the party hierarchy just because they see the said candidate as someone that will come and outshine them.

Party is not supreme when mediocrity is preferred instead of credibility.

And before you continue shouting

Party is supreme! party is supreme!!

Remember that that is what is keeping Mkpat Enin where it is today. Bunglers instead of credibility.

We as party members have the right to question some decisions of the party when it does not reflect majority voice.

Remember party is no party without members and supporters.

Be bold enough to question what is not right..

DON'T LEAVE WHEN IT IS TOO LATE.

The story . Udauk was too weak to continue with the evening chores around the house because of her pregnancy. She bent over the kitchen cabinet in search of a tuber of yam she was to prepare before her husband returned from work. At the point of stretching her hands to reach the tuber of yam under the cabin, she felt a sharp pain down her abdomen. Her left lap was swollen from the beating she got the previous night from the monster's husband. She was still short of three months from her due month. That's when she was to put to birth. The shape pain was accompanied by a loud scream. She dropped the knife she had with her and tried to settle on a table-size stool lying close to the gas cylinder in the kitchen, but she couldn't. She fell and started screaming, reached out to her phone, and dialed her husband. Mr. Sam had branched Madam G's Native Kitchen to settle for a while before heading home as his habit demands. He was busy at his usual joint with a bottle of chill ...

Social Media: Are we swallowed by it? It is alarming yet no longer news the rate of social media usage since the turn of the millennium. Social Media has become a tool in nearly every 9/ 10 persons we meet everyday of our lives. In fact it is estimated that youth particularly engaged in social Media taking 8/9 hours a day out of the 24hrs.

TILL DEATH DO US APART

The story. She wanted to fix this once and for all. She felt it was her obligation and responsibility to try and fix her marriage. It is true that when love can no longer sustain the marriage, commitment, and sense of responsibility does. This was Elma's concern. Though things were never what she expected, especially after having an affair with her personal assistant, she felt she could rekindle the love and bring her home. Shutting the door of the penthouse behind Mark her boyfriend, Elma warned him never to call again, not when she was trying to fix her home and get back with her husband. After Mark drove off, Elma took a step backward from where she was, fell on the bed and sobbed profusely. It was hard for her to see him leave. In the past six months of knowing Mark, he made her feel loved again and provided her a shoulder to cry on. He made her forget the horrors George her husband made her pass through in the last three years. Elma left the penthouse that n...
