Subsidy is on the way stop Crying

London-X:
Lmao...

Yoruba's are getting angrier by day.

The other side better watch-out before shiit hits the fan cos when that happens; it'll deeper than rap.

You can only taunt people for so long, especially people who stand taller than you in all ramifications based of reality and not chest-beating conjectures.

Ol boy Shiit has already hit the fan. The facelessness of the Internet has revealed to the yorubas the type of people they have been harbouring.especially during the debate over the piece of trash written by the crippled, beret wearing mofo, who was recently deleted by the gods and buried at night with ignominy.

Even on this wretched forum where folks like you have no shame and are never called out for inane and malevolent lies against others, [b]what notable superiority of intelligence [/b]or thinking have members from your ethnic group displayed here to validate your silly, misguided and childish lies about superiority that facts and reality show is only in your head?

^^^99.9999% of them can't even put words together to save their lives. And the few who can, say a lot without actually saying nothing. I guess they will start displaying their superiority of intelligence when pigs start flying.

Perhaps, Yoruba's need to start strategising on how to separate wheat from chaff, and how to break away from the growth-stunting yoke of the cursed Nigeria.

These people innately hate everything Yoruba - and Yoruba's need to move away from their negative energy. I guess their negative energy is the reason why Nigeria has been in abyss since it was created. They hate everyone!

@Gbawe. If you are relying on award given by a Yoruba body, I can as well arrange one for you from the government if you can afford it. Pls those awards does not in any way portray the reality on ground. They troup to my office everyday begging me to take an award which I always reject.

Tell your brother eggheader or what ever his name is to stop his chest beating. Let's respect the tribe that has put Nigeria in the world stage. Then we can help you Yorubas to leave mediocrity and face reality. It's not that we don't like Yorubas but just that trive in mediocrity and favouritism . They are too jealouse a people. I have lived in Lagos for 14 years and came with nothing here, but telling you what I am what now will amount to bragging. Let's leave that for another day.

Yorubas like Eguje too much, they always say 'fumi egunje' Why?

Most of you are still primitive and have failed to evolve!

Typical excuse from an indoctrinated fool. It seems you do not know when to shut up and who to peddle your crap with. You should stick to arguing at your level where conjecture, delusions and fantasy is king. You want another example? Chicken Republic, as a model of entrepreneural efficacy, is a business based on a franchised model now expanding in Africa. Is it you or your brother behind it or a "mediocre" Yoruba man people like you lie against worldwide?

You are a worthless piece of stool !!! You and others should have limited your indoctrinated rants to bigging up yourselves alone. I don't really care about that because all I see are insecure losers suffering from inferiority complex and trying to sell delusions of grandeur to themselves. All in all, losers not worth any attention.

When you cross over into the realm of trying to belittle the Yorubas, then there is a problem. When I get involved, things change from the conjecture-driven garbage of cretins like you to be quickly about real and factual examples that easily make readers see and discern the truth for themselves. The Yorubas are only guilty of been secure, accommodating and relatively relaxed people not at all into braggadocio or self-promotion. Yet if you want to see exemplary things they are doing, that directly debunks the lies of an indoctrinated tool like you, then I will show you. Many of you are just mentally sick. Rather than seek 'healing' you prefer to make yourselves worse with lies and deluded talk.

How Deji Akinyanju, Founder of Chicken Republic built a multi million dollar food business

BY CP-AFRICA.COMIN BUSINESS — 30 DEC, 2011

After 16 years in the United Kingdom, Deji Akinyanju returned home to found one of Nigeria’s most successful food retailers.“I felt driven to go back and make an impact,” he said on his decision to return home.”It was at the time of transition from military rule to democracy and I wanted to help build an entrepreneurial private sector.”

Today, 42 year old Akinyanju heads one of Nigeria’s fastest growing retail chains valued at about $120 million. With about $2 million (N320 million) in seed funding raised from family and friends, he initially had a franchise deal with Chicken Licken, South Africa but quickly established his own brand Chicken Republic. In 2003, he opened a bakery outlet, Butterfield Bakery (a South African brand), which soon became Nigeria’s largest bakery. Deji also own Reeds Thai Restaurant in Lagos and the St. Elmos Pizza franchise in Nigeria.

According to him, “we revolutionised the concept of buying international brands into Nigeria. Ever since then, new brands have come into the market. And we set the standard, changed the eating experience for Nigerians and introduced a friendlier, world-class ambience into food.”

He says that the market is being driven by the youth. “They want to associate themselves with modern brands and modern ways of eating.”

Since founding Chicken Republic he has grown it to over 70 outlets. When asked by CNBC earlier this year on how his business ventures became successful, he said, “When I started, I didn’t have much experience. If you have passion, the rest is easy to learn, but you can’t teach somebody to be passionate.”

However, success came with its burdens and challenges. In the early years, his company acquired quite a bit of debt to fund its expansion. “We had a strong cash flow but we also had obligations to banks and the business wasn’t profitable. We spent a lot servicing our debt.” In 2008, his company raised an additional $30 million to finance its expansion plans.

According to him, “There is still no strong brand across West Africa, so for instance if you were to go to Ghana you will find three stores run by a particular brand and if you were to go Ivory Coast, you may not find that brand in Ivory Coast, so we have this entire West coast market.”

Deji eventually plans to open three hundred Chicken Republic stores in Nigeria and a thousand Chicken Republic stores in Africa before 2013.

“Nigerian brands want to be global brands,” he says. “And why not? We have a lot of foreign brands in our market. If you apply the right principles, it doesn’t matter where you come from— you should be able to fly anywhere.”

Watch the video below where he talks about Food Concept/Chicken Republic’s expansion plans.

Now you want to play victim? Spineless twit !!!! You want to now pretend the Yorubas are the braggarts when this thread, as every honest person can see, contained many submissions touting wholesale lies from deluded and mentally sick people determined to represent the Yorubas as "nothing" in relation to others. I even read some clown write ridiculously that "the Yorubas contribute nothing to Nigeria". Now you wan't to play victim because Yorubas who deal with facts are now on the case? Eff you !!!!

Look at the "imbued essence" exhibition below showcasing "Nigerian spirit" through art, at the London Olympics in 2012 that I followed religiously as an art lover. How did a "lazy and mediocre" people happen to have so many representatives , as "some of the best available", in something that should be a purely Igbo show since, according to submissions here, they dominate everything and everyone? Many of you are simply sick.

I have not even begun with you clowns. Next time you start a thread like this, stick to bigging yourselves up alone. Stray from that script and I will get involved and will expose your cowardice that sees you now playing victim when you had all been previously happy to carry on an 0rgy of lies against Yoruba folks. Mentally deranged lunatics !!!!!

Imbued Essence… Nigerian Spirit Lights Up London Olympics

By Tajudeen Sowole
On Sunday, July 15, 2012, another side of Nigerian story will open ahead of the opening of the London 2012 Olympics, via an art exhibition.
Organised by Bank of Industry (BOI) as part of cultural artistic package to promote Nigeria during the 2012 Olympics, the art exhibition features works of over 35 artists selected across the country.
The show, titled Imbued Essence, according to the coordinators, Abraham Uyovbisere and Abiodun Olaku ends with the Olympics on August 12, 2012 at G-Live, Guitdford, Surrey.
The BOI-sponsored exhibition joins other African art and culture activities, under the theme, We Face Forward, currently holding in Manchester throughout the period of the Olympics.
Uyovbisere, who is the newly elected President of Guild of Professional Fine Artists of Nigeria (GFA), noted that until lately, Europeans and Americans used to see Nigerian art within naivety and craft context. The art exhibition at the Olympics, he assured would strengthen the awareness for Nigerian art abroad.
Giving kudos to the Managing Director of BOI, Evelyn Oputu for bringing visual arts as one of the events meant to showcase Nigeria at the Olympics, former Vice President of GFA, Olaku said it could only take someone like Oputu who appreciates creativity to organise what he described as the “first coordinated presentation of Nigerian art at any Olympics.”
He noted that though Nigerian art had been showcased in the past Olympics, but at individual level of artists.
The theme of the show, Olaku explained, “is to tell the world, that though Nigeria has its challenges, but they are not surmountable. He argued that the “true spirit of Nigeria” has not been properly presented in the past, assuring that the BOI-organised show will correct the error.”
In her statement published on the brochure tagged, Showcasing Nigeria @ the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics Games, Oputu states that the art exhibition and other activities are in line with BOI’s mandate to collaborate with domestic and foreign partners. She explained that the partnership with the Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC) “is a development-focused joint initiative for a more effective and positive projection of Nigeria at the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics Games, as the world’s most vibrant market.”
She stressed that the joint venture is part of BOI’s efforts at transforming Nigeria’s economy and integrating it into the global economy, through domestic and international partnerships.
And that the Olympics is holding in London, she argues, is strategic for Nigeria “in view of the historic ties between Nigeria and Great Britain,” as well as “London’s proximity to Nigeria and the city’s strategic location as the window to the world’s financial capital.”

The Dawn, oil on canvas by Abraham Uyovbisere features in the BOI-sponsored art exhibition.

On selection of works, Olaku disclosed that “we ensured the best among the works available were selected because it’s important for us to make a strong statement on Nigerian art.”
And perhaps, quite deliberate, most of the artists on the show are from the middle-generation of contemporary Nigerian art. Some of them are Raqib Bashorun, Olaku, Alex Nwokolo, Uyovbisere, Ben Osaghae, Duke Asidere, Edosa Ogiugo, Kefas Danjuma, Olu Ajayi, Jerry Buhari, Sam Ovraiti, Segun Adejumo, Hamid Ibrahim, Ndidi Dike, Kehinde Sanwo, Sam Ebohon, Adeola Balogun, Gbenga Offo, Lekan Onabanjo, Bunmi Babatunde, Ebong Ekwere, Patrick Agose and Francis Uduh.
Some of the works viewed via soft copies appear to corroborate Olaku’s assertion that “the best available” were selected.


For example, work such as a bust by Ekwere titled The Faithful II could compete with the bests in the world, in terms finishing. Same for Nwokolo’s soft metal collage, Social Networking II as well as Olaku’s painting Ancestral Grace. More importantly, each of these works projects different face within the Nigerian spirit of multicultural entity.
And where western taste could blend with African identity, Uyovbisere’s style of colour renditions takes that mantle as seen in a horse back piece, The Dawn, which stresses the artist’s identity in renaissance-like toning.
The BOI-sponsored show adds to the ongoing art and cultural activities of African origin as part of the London 2012 summer games. Last month, about 30 visual artists and musicians from 11 countries in West Africa opened diverse shows under the theme We Face Forward, which is a sub-event of the yearly London Festival. Among the musicians are Femi Kuti and Angelique Kidjo.
Opened few weeks ago, and running till September 16, 2012, according to reports monitored via the Internet, the show features painting, photography, textiles, sculpture, video and audio installation of 32 artists as well as fashion and music from top artistes of West African descent.
One of six Nigerian artists participating in the show, Victoria Udondian presents a new textile work at Whitworth Art Gallery’s textile collection.
The collection, according to the organisers, ranges from textiles made in Manchester for export to the West African market in the eighteenth century, to fabrics by contemporary makers in Mali who supply DKNY with hand-spun cotton.

I beat my chest to tell you that non of your kins men can dare to start a business in any Igbo land. They will be frustrated back to their Amala states. You guys a so lazy in business that you have union controlling your business. I had a flat tyre the last time I asked one Yoruba vulcaniser to give my tire some air, I gave N50 but the guy insisted on N100 that union people will catch him. I could not help but to laugh. Lazy beople. Union for pepper sellers, union for people that ground pepper my wife just told me now. You can not survive in the east. Competition drives business there.

It does not worry you why Igbos are succeeding in anything the want to do? Its because they are humble people.

Th only person to be pitied is you. You claim every companies Yoruba run goes bankrupt and now you are running from pillar to post in the face of examples that proves you are a pathetic liar and a mentally sick individual. Look at the story of Kase Lukman Lawal. How many from the African continent have achieved what he has let alone even begin narrowing things to Nigeria and taking in your "almighty ethnic group"?

Indoctrination may have rendered you blind and imbecilic but I will delight in making a fool of you and others here. There are the odd moments, when really pissed off, that I have time to ridicule the madness of wicked, devilish and indoctrinated lunatics like you always keen to vilify a comparatively peaceful people who go about their busines with no malice for anyone. You should tell us whether Lawal was an Igbo man who became Yoruba since mental cases like you run around telling the world all Yorubas are "mediocre" and useless at business and entrepreneurship. Clowns. Only God can help with the indoctrination-led lunacy afflicting people like you.

(CNN) -- Nigerian-born entrepreneur Kase Lawal is the epitome of the American dream. Arriving to the US a young, idealistic student, Lawal has carved a name for himself in one of the most competitive industries in the world: Oil.
Now head of a multi-billion dollar empire, his Houston-based company, CAMAC, is one of the largest black-owned businesses in the U.S., generating over $2 billion dollars a year.

Founded nearly 25 years ago, Lawal built CAMAC (which stands for Cameroon-American) from a small agriculture business into a global oil company. But it's taken a lot of hard work, determination and guts to get him to the top.
Born and raised in Ibadan, Nigeria in 1954, Lawal became interested in America and its civil rights movement during his teens. After finally persuading his father, a local politician, to send him to university in America, Lawal headed to Georgia and then Houston, where he attended the Texas Southern University.
After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering in 1976, Lawal, like many of his classmates, started out as a graduate in the energy industry. First as a chemist for Dresser Industries (now Halliburton) and then as a chemical engineer with Shell Oil Refining Co.

During this time he met his wife, Eileen through a mutual friend and had his three children.
Now married and settled, it wasn't long before the innovative young Nigerian started to implement his business ideas.
In 1986 he established CAMAC, a company trading agricultural commodities such as sugar, tobacco and rice. In the early 90s he made the leap into the energy sector after the Nigerian government started to develop its energy market.
With his knowledge of Nigeria and his Houston address, Lawal was ideally positioned to attract major oil companies. In 1991 CAMAC made a deal with the oil giant Conoco, agreeing to jointly operate and share production from any Nigerian discoveries.
This turned out to be Lawal's big break.
With his political contacts, local market knowledge and now with the backing of a major oil firm, Lawal's Houston-based company became an instant player in the energy industry.
As Lawal told CNN: "That partnership I believe was the cornerstone of the CAMAC that you know today. Subsequently with that credibility and the advantage of partnering with Conoco, we were also able to partner with BP and also with Statoil of Norway and currently we have made a partnership with Eni, the largest Italian company, which is one of the top five oil companies in the world."
Now CAMAC has offices in London, Johannesburg, Lagos and Port Harcourt, Nigeria and is involved in oil exploration, refining and trading.

Balkan: Lagos belongs to the Igbos and not the Yorubas. Lagos does not sound Yoruba , like osun, Ogun, oyo, ekiti. etc. Lagos state is Annex of igbo land just like Alaska is to the US. Am happy with Lagos I would have been better enough withouth you guys mediocrity. Stop deluding yourself that Lagos is Yoruba land. It happens to be in SW.

That you are still ranting after being found out to be a hopeless bare faced liar shows the depth of your worthlessness. Your guttersnipe type should actually be banned and prevented from spewing lies all over nairaland .shameless lout....

Any body that takes serious what many people say here serious, I will say ur intelligence is suspect.
This is different from real life, Lagos is owned by yorubas so if you get worked up by the taunting done by some of my people claiming Lagos, then I will say u re childish.

The truth is that we need each other, let us put our differences aside, respect each other and work together. Anybody that begins to judge anybody by his tribe and other things, I pity such a person because u re exposing your self to bitter soul and unnecessary work up. I respect every man, I dont judge someone based on where he is from, never. We are all black brothers. Thanks

Bwahahahahaha

Uncle Gbawe is pissed... I like this new one, the old one was too liberal.

Let me help you out.

[size=14pt]The Man Who Bought Gatwick Airport - Mr. Adebayo Ogunlesi[/size]

The Nigerian-born investment banker, Mr. Adebayo Ogunlesi, beat the Britons at their own game.

VENTURES AFRICA – Up until February 2010, very few people had heard about Adebayo Ogunlesi. The Nigerian-born investment banker and money manager made international headlines when he led the acquisition of London’s Gatwick Airport from the British Airports Authority in a recorded £1.51 billion deal. The acquisition instantly propelled Ogunlesi, 58, into the global spotlight and earned him a place in history as the man who acquired London’s second largest international airport.

Adebayo Ogunlesi is the chairman and managing partner of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), a New York-based independent private equity fund focused primarily on infrastructural investments, with over $5.6 billion under management. The purchase of Gatwick Airport may have grabbed all the headlines, but GIP has some other noteworthy assets in its portfolio including a 75% stake in London City Airport, and Biffa Limited, a UK based waste management company.

Gatwick suffered deep losses over the years, and all the turnaround efforts made by its former managers, the British Airport Authority (BAA), failed to halt the downward spiral. In the first nine months of 2009, the airport reportedly recorded a pre-tax loss of over £780 million, prompting the British government to actively shop for buyers. BAA also reportedly lost £225 million on Gatwick after it was compelled to sell the airport by the Competition Commission.

While Ogunlesi’s acquisition might have brought him international acclaim and made him something of an overnight private equity rock star, pundits kept their fingers crossed to see what he will make out of the ailing airport.

But Ogunlesi believed strongly in the future of the airport so much that he invested some of his own personal funds into the acquisition. He promised to make Gatwick a truly first class international airline and substantially improve the customer experience. Judging from his antecedents, he is likely to deliver on those promises.

In 2006, Ogunlesi had led the acquisition of London City Airport. Immediately after its acquisition, Ogunlesi spearheaded a series of operational improvements aimed at boosting capacity and improving the operating offering and service quality. According to information available on GIP’s corporate website, London City Airport’s passenger numbers grew by 22% in its first full year of ownership.

Formidable footprints

Ogunlesi has had the good fortune of being born into a solid pedigree. His father was the first Nigerian-born professor of medicine and tutored at the country’s premier university, University of Ibadan. After attending the prestigious King’s College, Lagos, he went ahead to study philosophy, politics and economics at Oxford where he graduated at the top of his class, and later earned law and business degrees from Harvard. At Harvard, he was an outstanding student, becoming one of the first two editors of African descent to serve together on the influential Harvard Law Review.

After studying at Harvard, he took up a job as a clerk for the late American Supreme Court justice, Thurgood Marshall, serving at the court for 3 years- from 1980 till 1983. This effectively made Ogunlesi the first non-American ever to clerk at the U.S’ highest court.

In 1983, Ogunlesi enjoyed a brief stint at the New York Law firm, Cravath, Swaine & Moore as an associate, before taking up an appointment with First Boston, an investment bank.

At First Boston, he swiftly rose from the position of associate to managing director of the bank’s project-finance group. He spent a great deal of his time travelling through emerging market countries where he brokered high-powered deals among lenders, governments, and firms involved in mining, oil refineries and natural gas plants.

In 1997, the Credit Suisse Group acquired First Boston and subsequently renamed it Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB). Ogunlesi was still one of the institution’s most strategic managers, and by 2002, the new owners had appointed him as the managing director of the firm’s global investment banking division- one of the most influential subsidiaries of the group. Ogunlesi was in charge of a division that managed $2.8 billion in assets and employed over 1,200 investment bankers. His new appointment also earned him a seat on the bank’s board of directors and its influential 15-member operating committee.

However, the elevation was not without some challenges. Ogunlesi had to return the division back to profitability, considering that the previous year it had lost almost $1 billion. He adopted a lean, mean management style, firing 300 bankers and 50 senior executives within the first few weeks of his assumption. He persuaded the remaining staff to accept pay cuts and advocated for reduced operating expenses. Top bankers were required to relinquish the luxury of limousines in favour of taxis. But his cost-cutting measures worked magic. Within a year, the bank had returned to profitability and its revenue had risen by 25 percent.


An eye on Africa

Despite his long sojourn in Europe and America, Ogunlesi still manages to stay abreast of developments in Africa. He has helped champion the African economic renaissance and in 2009 was appointed non-executive chairman of the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), a financial institution set up to revamp Africa’s critical infrastructure and invest in key sectors of the continent’s economy. AFC, which was patterned after the International Finance Corporation (IFC) – the private sector arm of the World Bank Group, was a lead investor in the $240 million Main One submarine fibre optic cable that will expand telecommunications capacity in West Africa. AFC also led Africa’s participation in the $750 million syndicated lending facility to develop the landmark Ghanaian Jubilee Oil Field, one of West Africa’s largest deepwater offshore developments in over a decade.

In Nigeria, Ogunlesi is spearheading the corporation’s attempt to address the country’s epileptic power supply. In January 2011 it hosted a power sector roundtable to examine the key issues, identify the constraints and proffer practical solutions to the challenges facing Independent Power Plants (IPPs) in the country. Ogunlesi’s passion for his home country has seen him advising successive governments on fiscal policies, strategic management and economic development. He served as an informal adviser to former president Olusegun Obasanjo, and still consults for the country’s current government on occasion.
