  By UbongAbasi Ise   In every romantic or marital union, cheating could be heartrending and intolerable. Some could forgive a culpable partner and continue with the relationship, while others would just jilt and move on. A situation as this is recurring every day in human relationships and the pains could be very excruciating to the affected. A movie called , All I Have , which star top acts like Ghana’s Toosweet Anan and Calist Okoronkwo, has become one of the hits that paints vivid picture of heartbreak to the last detail. Produced by Nickmoore media and directed by Akwa Ibom-born John Henry, the story of the aftermath of a broken trust has been retold and acted in a very intriguing manner. Jerry (Toosweet Anan) and Jane (Calist Okoronkwo) had spent 12 years in marriage together; they have a daughter, Amanda (Brenda Moore) who, being the only child, turned out to be the only thread that links the parents together after Jane unexpectedly broke into a scene where her husband is suspec

  By UbongAbasi Ise   You cannot be evading your supporters and be expecting miracles to happen in your favour at your polling unit on the D-day. Of course the point made then by the chairman of APC Ward Chairmen Forum, Engr. Saviour Williams, was a good one.   It is the fact that could not be twisted: elections are conducted at units and wards. Failure to water the grassroots at early opportunity spells doom for the ambition of a political party.   The aggrieved supporters of a party at the grassroots, on the D-day of an election, could be likened to suicide bombers that could deliver explosives and detonates everyone within range of the explosion. John Gay, an English poet and dramatist had said that “an open foe may prove a curse, but a pretended friend is worse.” The enemy within could be too destructive. The aggrieved supporters whose pride could not let them cross to another political party may choose to lay in wait to repay their masters with the same coin, making them ha

  By UbongAbasi Ise Governor Udom Emmanuel’s remark on Oro nation over the delay in the implementation of the Ibom Deep seaport project has continued to draw reactions from top personalities of Oron extraction. In a phone conversation with The Sensor, Otu   Ita Toyo, a former chairman of the Akwa Ibom State Chapter of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, and now a political stalwart in the fold of the All Progressives Congress, APC, expressed shock that Governor Udom Emmanuel could shift responsibility of possible failure in the implementation of deep seaport project to Oron people in a live broadcast. “I never believe that a governor would say that.   So I am still in shock. If I did not see that event on video, I would never have believed that a governor of my state would make such a statement, particularly, over event which I am aware of. But I am still in shocks so when I get over the shock, I would then make a statement,” he said.   Toyo further said Ibaka has been a favo

  By UbongAbasi Ise Like Nigerian youth would say, wahala no go ever finish, the Akwa Ibom State APC’s infightings are seemingly taking different colours and shapes by the day. With the recent suspension of 16 chapter chairmen by the party’s State caretaker committee and impending sanctions awaiting 87 litigant members according to recent statement by the caretaker committee, it seems the APC’s squabbling would continue to remain intractable. It means the party is inadvertently burning the bridge ahead of 2023 general elections, so to speak.                   Like a female rape victim who only wore loose gown without panties and would not even resist the goon’s ravishment on her body, that is how easy the defeat of Akwa Ibom APC would come in 2023. Like unhindered rape, the party’s defeat would be very smooth and steady. I am not a prophet of doom, and I am not a soothsayer too, but the cryptic handwriting on the wall has shown that the party is condemned to fail as it graduall
