On Achieving Career Goals

by Fred Nwaozor Achieving career goals is a deliberate and continuous process that requires clarity, discipline, and persistence. It begins with a clear understanding of what one truly wants to accomplish in a chosen field. Without a defined direction, efforts become scattered, making it difficult to measure progress or attain meaningful success. Therefore, setting specific and realistic career goals is the first critical step. Self-assessment plays a vital role in this journey. Individuals must evaluate their strengths, weaknesses, interests, and values. By doing so, they gain insight into areas where they can excel and identify skills that need improvement. This awareness helps in aligning personal abilities with career aspirations, ensuring a more purposeful pursuit. Education and skill acquisition are fundamental to achieving career goals.

"We will appeal Verdict on Kanu" - Counsel

Frank Musa
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, will challenge the life sentence issued against him by the Federal High Court in Abuja.

This was disclosed by his former lawyer and consultant, Aloy Ejimakor.

Kanu was on Thursday, 20th November 2025 convicted on all seven terrorism-related charges filed by the Federal Government.

Justice James Omotosho sentenced him to life imprisonment on counts one, two, four, five and six; 20 years without the option of a fine on count three; and an additional five years, also without an option of a fine, on count seven.

Court sentences Kanu to Life Imprisonment over Terrorism Conviction

Speaking with journalists after the ruling, Ejimakor said the legal team would immediately appeal the judgment. “We are heading to appeal,” he stated.

In a separate reaction posted on X, Ejimakor insisted the verdict would not stand, arguing Kanu was not a terrorist.

"The verdict & the sentence today will not stand. MAZI NNAMDI KANU is not a terrorist. NDIGBO are not terrorists. We all know who the real terrorists are, and luckily, the Americans know them too,” he wrote.

Ejimakor also faulted the court’s reliance on some of Kanu’s broadcasts, saying they were harmless and unconnected with any acts of violence.

"How can you convict a man for making mere broadcasts from a location that was never named and never tied to a single incident of violence?” he queried.

He described the judgment as lacking merit in law, logic, and fact, maintaining the defence would pursue all legal options to overturn it.
