BETWEEN AN INGRATE SON AND AN OVERBEARING FATHER – HOW IT ENDED IN EDO By Abdullahi O.Haruna (Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

Nothing wrecks a man than obstinate push for vengeance, the desire to have your pound of flesh is an open embrace to your end, that way, your imminent waterloo is assured. Even the scriptures admonished us into leaving vengeance to God. In African Night Entertainment, a book authored by late cerebral word lord, Cyprian Ekwensi, we saw how the quest for vengeance wrecked the promising life of Abubakar, the protagonist of the storyline. He was cheated of his heartthrob and went wide and wild in search of revenge- he got…

LIVING TO GUTS ; The story of Yahaya Bello By Abdullahi O Haruna Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

Exactly five years today, Alhaji Yahaya Bello picked the APC Gubernatorial interest form for the Kogi State Governorship race, it was an uneventful day as little or nothing was his reference. He was relatively apolitical lightweight, with no structural clout – he was a lonely man propelled by the unseen wand of destiny. With few co-believers like his Siamese twin now Deputy Governor, Edward Onoja, the man dared the odds, and today he sits in fulfillment of an audacious dream. On this day, he made a historic visit that would…

NO MAN DIES A VIRGIN, LIFE HAS A ROOM WHERE EVERYMAN IS SCREWED. By Abdullahi O. Haruna Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

You see, nothing is absolute in life, never take anything to heart. I have live life enough to understand that nothing, I mean nothing is sacrosanct. I have seen lovers of 50 years gone their separate ways, I have seen parents disown their children, I have seen people abandoned their faith- I am a witness to an Imam becoming a Christian and a priest becoming a Muslim! Yes, this is how uncertain life is- therefore, the only certain phenomenon in life is death. Who would have ever thought a day…

Murder in the Cathedral By Abdullahi O.Haruna Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

To increase her knowledge base, she found solace in the sanctuary, while swotting over her books for an edge of wit, she met her death, lurking in the cover of darkness, they sprawled on her, smashing her head with an object designed to extinguish fire, instead of putting out fire, the extinguished her life. And our Uwa Omozuwa lies cold in the embrace of death while the world debates her end. Her crime was to be born with breast on her chest, her undoing was to be weaker in sex…

As the gatekeeper exits the palace… By Abdullahi O. Haruna Haruspice .

Emporium Reporters

The most hated and despised in the palace is usually the one who protects the king the most. Kyari got the venom because he protected Buhari from the pawn of interest. And who the man was in the last five years of his existence is principally the creation of those whose interests were affected- they sold the alibi to the media and the media amplified the script sold to them. Everything we know and knew about Mallam Abba Kyari was the dummy sold to us by third parties and fifth…

A thorn in the flesh By Abdullahi O Haruna Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

Contrary to their machinations, he keeps bouncing back in rejuvenated rapidity. They pronounced him dead, he resurrected in frightening vitality exuding more zest and life. Not done with their constricted venom, they acted a script and wore him a garment of shame but they forgot to involve God in their design. Not satisfied with their venom mills, they went to town with the narrative of a cloned man. They called him Jubril of Sudan and the world laughed at their stupidity. For everything he does, they fume in venom, purging…

Sanusi- the crack in the wall of a feudal region. By Abdullahi O. Haruna Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

Once an enemy is identified, how to deal and relate with him become very easy. Sanusi knew from the onset that Ganduje hated his guts, how he allowed the man got him to his grips baffles me. Were I Sanusi, I would have acted the dumb and blind to the onslaught of Ganduje, unfortunately, ego and the exhibition of manliness took over reasoning and here we are all battered. Were I Sanusi, I would have endured the shenanigans of this man who is everything but a tenured man with barely…

Metuh and his enemy lawyers… By Abdullahi O. Haruna Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

“It was only a few weeks to the end of the proceedings that the convict and his team of lawyers began to defend him in court. Before then, they had thoroughly humiliated me just because I discharged my function without fear or favour.” Justice Okon Abang on Metuh’s lawyers. Truth be told, some lawyers are the real enemies of their clients. They compound and make delicate what would have been settled with the slightest simplicity. They made Metuh did all the ignoble antics to the extent of drooling in saliva,…

WEEPING FOR A LAUGHING MAN By Abdullahi O. Haruna Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

Since Governor Yahaya Bello assumed office for his second term in office as Executive Governor of Kogi state, there has been a deliberate and sustained onslaught against his deputy, Edward Onoja particularly from people from his aisle of kogi East. In imaginary plots, they reel out how the governor isn’t longer comfortable with Chief Edward Onoja, how his towering influence in the Lugard House has waned abysmally and now sits idly like a beaten bird in the rain. Pictures flew around showing the man in subdued mien, according to them…

This Is Not The End of Dino Melaye By Abdullahi O. Haruna Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

This is not the end of Senator Dino Melaye politically, he shall rise again pretty soon. He is like the calabash in water, hardly can it be suppressed. We have seen him rose from obscurity to limelight – from seemingly nowhere to somewhere. He brought Okun land to national reckoning and sustained it thus far. He seamlessly navigates his way through the world of activism, patronage and politics, capturing the minds of Nigerians. The story of this man is a gripping tale of divinely written note laced with lyrical anecdote…
