Interview With Youth Advocate, Comrade Kufre Matthew

Comrade Kufre, thank you for joining us today! As the Chairman of the Nigeria Youth Alternative Council (NYAC), Akwa Ibom chapter, what inspired you to take on this role and dedicate yourself to youth empowerment? Thank you very much. My inspiration comes from my deep concern about the untapped potential of young people in our society. I have seen many youths with ideas, energy, and passion but without proper guidance or platforms to express themselves. Accepting the role of Chairman of NYAC, Akwa Ibom State chapter, was a call to service—to create opportunities, amplify youth voices, and ensure young people are part of decision-making processes that shape their future. You've led initiatives like PVC awareness and voter registration drives. What strategies have you used to encourage young people to participate in democratic processes, and what impact have you seen? We focus on grassroots engagement—meeting young people where they are, both physically and digitally. Through PVC awa...

Interview with Phils Emjay

Please tell us your name and what you do? My name is Maher Joshua a.k.a Phils Emjay. I am an artiste, blogger, poet and activist. All right. But some posters identifies you solely as a singer? Not really! I hardly sing. Yea sure What's your major concern as a blogger? My major concern is how to carry every body along, being a source of help to my people and all the entertainers, and more importantly, to spread my roots deeply around the world. That's sounds  enthusiastic. Can we know the name of your blog? Of course!   NORTH EAST MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT BLOG . Since it's all about entertainment, I believe everything on there has to do with the performing arts? Surely! How do you cope with multi-tasking, like being a poet and owning a blog purely dedicated to music? Well! I write whenever I'm inspired. I don't write always, and you'd believe me when I say blogging is a daily activity. Yeah. To keep a blog going, it must be revamped daily ...

Interview with Darren Idongesit Aquaisua

Were you a Christian before you became an atheist?  Yes, I was born into a Christian home. All right. How and why did you leave Christianity?  Leaving Christianity was a gradual process. I had doubts, you know. I am very knowledgeable on scripture and the more you read and understand the more one realizes something is awfully wrong with the messages in there. I couldn't agree with an all loving god ordering for the killing of children and at a particularly gruesome encounter, his servant ordered for a wild beast to tear 42 children to pieces. This level of gory and absolutely senseless slaughter was hard to reconcile with the image of an all loving being. I want to pose this question to you; would you kill 42 children if you had the means to? No. I wouldn't.  So you know in a way understand this to be wrong? Yes of course, I know that already, but it's improper to mock the servant of God if only the stories were true. By the way, do you believe in neme...

Interview with Itohan Eghide

There is nothing as splendid as meeting and talking to a woman with powerful innovative ideas. Itohan is not an exemption. I did this interview with her while she was on holiday at Port Harcourt. Enjoy! 1. There are a lot of men and women I’ve seen around the world who seem to have almost given up on the opposite sex .You get these bitter jokes and angry comments. The men think the women are gold diggers and not interested in them and rude. The women think the men are all sexist and they can’t stand them . What would you say to those people that have gotten so frustrated that they ’re almost ready to give up on the opposite sex? There is a man for every woman and a woman for every man. I would advise anyone not to give up no matter the circumstance,  because love can happen spontaneously. And when true love happens, one will definitely know that "yes! This is  genuine!" 2. What do you think is the reason why most partners cheat on each other in their rel...
