Welcome To Reality News Paper

Stripped of relevance due to several political misadventures, former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, cuts the picture of a twerp clutching at straws. That the former Speaker is going down in a puddle he dug for himself is not surprising, but that he has the nerve to inspissate his descent into infamy with insults and expletives on respected leaders in the country like Governor Simon Lalong is unfortunate. When Dogara along with former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, David Babachir Lawal, started stoking the embers of a religious war through their selfish interpretation of the Tinubu/ Shettima APC Presidential ticket, lots of well meaning individuals had tried to call them to order by showing them the negative implications of embarking on that course, but they continued until Dogara’s partner, Babachir revealed their true intentions, which was that, they expected the party to call and negotiate with them.   Even as the party tries to igno...

By: Valentine Adese (JP), Plateau State like many other states in the federation is already experiencing the known political fever and politicians have started realigning and strategizing to achieve their peak, before, during and after the 2023 general elections. The most catching drama in the state currently is the pursuit to achieve the ambition of the former Vice President of Nigeria, Ahaji Atiku Abubakar. The pursuit and support for Atiku has introduced a yet to be explained infighting within and outside the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). While the Pro-Atiku group have kick started a “non-existing political war” within the PDP, their major enemy seems to be the former Governor of the State, Sen. Jonah David Jang, who recently joined other concerned PDP stakeholders to call for the resignation of the National Chairman of the Party, Ayu. Despite the fact that, Sen. Jang had publicly stated that, his joining and pulling out of the Presidential Campaign Council, aimed to project Atiku...

By: Valentine Adese (JP), The worries in Plateau State over the comments and order by Prof. Shedrack Best that, a Non-Indigene should remain silent on issues that concerns Plateau State and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chapter in the state has taken a new dimension as concerned citizens are calling on him to retract it and apologies. Those, who spoke on Valreality Radio, an online platform (valrealityradio.live) today, 27/09/22, were of the opinion that, his comments being from his heart, may also have being the reason why God refused to make him the governorship candidate of the PDP. On the part of the Civil Society, a Director with the Civil Liberty Organization (CLO), Comrade Steve Alukodaniel, viewed the comment of Prof. Best, urging Mr. Clinton Garuba to remain silent in the face of the political developments in the state and the nation at large because he is not from Plateau State, as overreaching. He called on Prof. Best, whom he claimed to be his long time friend to retra...

By: Valentine Adese (JP), The political differences being expressed in the Plateau State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the candidature and Presidential bid of the former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has gone dirty and is now beclouded with pettiness and small mindedness, as Prof. Shedrack Best, (a then Secretary of the State Government (SSG) under Sen. Jonah Jang’s administration) is asking an Investor and a Non-Indigene in the state, to leave and go back to his state for supporting Sen. Jonah David Jang’s idea of joining others to pull out of the Atiku’s campaign, if the issues rocking the party are not addressed. You would recall that, REALITY had reported that, a former Secretary to the Plateau State Government (SSG), Prof. Shedrack Best has been taken to the cleaners and re-schooled more on the history and tradition of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), with Senator Jonah David Jang, as one of the Founding Fathers. In a rejoinder signed by, Mr. Clin...

By: Valentine Adese (JP), A former Secretary to the Plateau State Government (SSG), Prof. Shedrack Best has been taken to the cleaners and re-schooled more on the history and tradition of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), with Senator Jonah David Jang, as one of the Founding Fathers. In a rejoinder signed by Mr. Clinton Garuba, the Media Consultant to Sen. Jonah David Jang, Prof. Best and his “Unknown Stakeholders” are advised not to use Sen. Jonah Jang as a launching pad, but to go ahead and pursue their interest and support for the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and his presidential drive.   According to the rejoinder, Prof. Best was reminded that, of all people, he should know that, “in the pursuit of truth, Jang is always prepared to tow the lonely path”. The rejoinder signed by Mr. Clinton Garuba,  in his show of surprise and shock, over a purported publication, allegedly signed by its Protem Secretary, Prof. Best, tagged: “PDP Stakeholders, Disowned Sen (Dr) Jonah Dav...

By: Valentine Adese (JP), There are strong reason(s) to believe that, Zibah Pharmacy, the new Pharmacy that is expected to be established soon in Jos, the Plateau State capital, may have been laced with sad tales and huge emotional feelings. REALITY just gathered.  In an investigation and interview conducted by REALITY, relating to Zibah Pharmacy and those behind its possible establishment, REALITY gathered that, the owner is currently blinded by the feeling of saving society from, a situation of “Non-availability of drugs”, laced with a positive drive to make Zibah Pharmacy, the last bus stop for such search for Prescribed Medical Drugs. It was gathered in the course of the interviews conducted that, one of the major reasons for moving to establish Zibah Pharmacy, may not be unconnected to the death of the Uncle of Pastor Michael Gulu, whom the family lost because they could not find a prescribe drug to save his Uncle’s life. In a chart with Pastor Michael Gulu, he further revealed a ...

By: Valentine Adese (JP), There are strong indications that, drug availability challenges in Plateau State, would soon be brought under control soon, owing to the move by Pastor Michael Gulu, to establish ZIBAH Pharmacy in Jos, the Plateau State capital. REALITY gathered that, the aim and vision for the establishment of this Pharmacy in the State, particularly in the city of Jos by Pastor Gulu, is to help cover the gap and space, which existing pharmacies in the state have left uncovered and unserved. ZIBAH, when fully operational, REALITY is told, would be running as a Wholesale and Retail outfit, in order to assist smaller outlets in the industry. It is also gathered that, ZIBAH Pharmacy and its Nigerian Head Office, would be located along, Goodluck Jonathan Way (Alheri) and close to the Gada Bui Market and the New Satellite Market along Rukuba Road in Jos. On further inquiry, REALITY gathered that, the vision of Pastor Gulu is to bring Healthcare closer, cheaper and accessible to th...

By: Valentine Adese (JP), The quest to establish legitimacy of the governorship candidature of the Labour Party (LP) in Plateau State is taking another dramatic turn in the Federal High Court (FHC), as Amb. Y. Margif in his “Further and Better Affidavit” has told the Federal High Court that, the reply of Dr.  Patrick Dakum and other Defendants to his Suit, No: FHC/J/CS/76/2022 is loaded with lots of “Contradictions and Inconsistencies”.
