Joel Ajayi
As Nigerians usher in the year 2026, the International President of De Norsemen Kclub International (DNKI), Mr. Oliver Patrick, has extended warm New Year greetings to citizens across the country and to DNKI members at home and in the Diaspora, while reaffirming the organisation’s unwavering commitment to service to humanity and national development.
He described the New Year as a moment of renewed purpose and shared responsibility, noting that it presents an opportunity for sober reflection, strengthened resolve, and fresh confidence in the future of Nigeria. According to him, the resilience and fortitude consistently demonstrated by Nigerian families and communities remain a powerful source of inspiration, even amid prevailing socio-economic and security challenges.
Mr. Patrick urged Nigerians to remain resolute, steadfast, and hopeful as the nation continues its journey under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, expressing confidence that deliberate and courageous steps are being taken to reposition Nigeria on the path of recovery and sustainable development.
He commended President Tinubu for recorded gains in the fight against terrorism and insecurity, as well as the administration’s determination to stabilise and rebuild the Nigerian economy. He particularly described the signing of the new tax reform bill into law as a bold and strategic move aimed at strengthening fiscal responsibility, enhancing revenue generation, and laying a firmer foundation for long-term economic growth and national prosperity.
Reaffirming the core humanitarian ideals of De Norsemen Kclub International, the DNKI President pledged the organisation’s continued dedication to promoting peace, unity, social responsibility, and support for the less privileged. He noted that DNKI will sustain and expand its humanitarian services, remaining a reliable partner in efforts to improve the well-being of humanity and contribute meaningfully to societal development.
In his closing remarks, Mr. Patrick wished all Nigerians and DNKI members a peaceful, hopeful, and productive year 2026, expressing optimism that the months ahead will deepen national unity, renew collective confidence, and move Nigeria steadily toward stability, prosperity, and inclusive progress for all.

Eagle Times Newspaper Will Be Voice for Nigerians – Publisher Chukwunyere Vows
Joel Ajayi
The Publisher of The Eagle Times Nigeria, Sir Ikechukwu Chukwunyere, has pledged that the newspaper will promote accountability, credible journalism and public-interest reporting in its coverage of national affairs.
Chukwunyere made the commitment on Thursday, October 1, 2026, during the official unveiling and launch of The Eagle Times Nigeria.
He said the new media organisation was established not merely to add another newspaper to Nigeria’s media landscape, but to provide a platform committed to serving the public interest.
According to him, the newspaper’s guiding philosophy, “The Voice for the People, The Watchdog for the Nation,” places a responsibility on the organisation to listen to Nigerians, tell their stories, highlight issues affecting their daily lives and scrutinise those entrusted with public responsibilities.
“To be a voice for the people means that we must listen to Nigerians, tell their stories, highlight their concerns and give visibility to issues that affect their daily lives,” he said.
The publisher added that The Eagle Times would be guided by accuracy, fairness, professionalism, credibility and responsible journalism, stressing that the newspaper would not publish stories merely because they were sensational.
“We will verify. We will investigate. We will seek the other side. We will correct our mistakes when we make them,” he said.
Chukwunyere further stated that the newspaper would endeavour to give individuals and organisations the opportunity to respond whenever allegations were made against them.
“Our commitment is not to any political party, government or individual. Our primary commitment is to journalism, to truth and to the Nigerian public,” he said.
He noted that the newspaper was launching at a time when the media industry was undergoing rapid transformation, with audiences increasingly consuming news through digital platforms, including websites, television, podcasts and social media.
He said The Eagle Times would therefore operate as a multimedia organisation, combining its newspaper with digital platforms and The Eagle Times TV to reach audiences across different channels.
According to him, the organisation also intends to create opportunities for young journalists, writers, photographers, producers, digital creators and other media professionals to develop their skills and contribute to journalism and national development.
Chukwunyere said the newspaper’s coverage would include politics, governance, business, economy, security, judiciary, education, health, technology, sports, entertainment, lifestyle and international affairs.
He, however, said the organisation intended to distinguish itself not only by the subjects it covered but by the quality and approach of its journalism.
We want to tell stories that matter, we want to investigate issues that require investigation, we want to highlight Nigerians who are making a difference, and we want to give communities that are often ignored an opportunity to be heard,” he said.
The publisher acknowledged the challenges involved in establishing a newspaper, saying the venture required investment, commitment, professional discipline and the courage to pursue an idea.
He expressed appreciation to the management, editorial, reporting, production and digital teams, as well as families, friends, partners and supporters who contributed to the establishment of the organisation.
Chukwunyere also assured readers, viewers and the newspaper’s digital audience that The Eagle Times would strive to earn their trust and remain accountable to the standards it had set for itself.
He said the newspaper’s success would not be measured only by circulation figures, website traffic or social media followers, but also by the confidence Nigerians placed in its journalism.
“Today, we spread our wings. Today, The Eagle Times takes flight,” he said, reaffirming the newspaper’s commitment to its slogan: “The Voice for the People, The Watchdog for the Nation.”
