Ignoramus, dangote was blacklisted by all banks according to a CBN directive, his brother who was the MD of the subsidiary that used to default on dangote loans was summoned by d court, he appeared etc. And banks were directed not to give loans to dangote till this day. Innoson defaulted on his loan, the bank restructured his loan yet he refused to pay, rather he counter-sued them for imaginary charges. Do u know how many people would have lost their job in GTB (igbo people cos majority of the staff in that branch and his account officer was igbo) simply bcoz he tried to cheat the system. I worked in GTB for a very long time and I can tell u that banks don't fvck with loans cos they are depositors money. Every little detail is carefully examined by both account officer and customer. Innoson is just like every other Nigerian businessman (irrespective of tribe) they love to take loans but hate to pay back. Thunder fire you and innoson for playing the ethnic card. There are many successful igbo bizmen in the SE/SS who you do not hear of that do business till this day, why hasn't the govt clamped down on them. Foolish boy making intelligent igbos look stupid.
you have said it all. some people are just being tribalistic
NATIONALPASTOR: Yorubas will regret what they are doing to INNOSON.
Their anger is simply because he did not build that manufacturing plant in Lagos.
How many investments does the Yorubas have in nnewi, Enugu or elsewhere in Igboland?
I dont understand this ur comment why been tribalistic? they accused him of fraud and your are here calling out yoruba. the truth is let's call a spade a spade and stop perambulating. the man was charged for something he did and stop being tribalistic.

It is believed that Ronaldinho asked Priscilla Coelho and Beatriz Souza for their hands in marriage in January last year, according to Brazilian columnist Leo Dias via The Mirror.

Brazilian columnist Leo Dias also claims that both women receive a monthly allowance of $5,000 from Ronaldinho to 'spend as they please.' They are to marry at a private ceremony inside the Santa Monica condominium in Rio.
majella4: Andres Iniesta has signed for Japanese club Vissel Kobe on a two-year deal after many years in Barcelona.
The 34-year-old playmaker left the Catalan giants after landing his ninth La Liga title with the club. He also secured a host of other honours, including four Champions League trophies.
A World Cup winner with Spain in 2010, Iniesta captained Barcelona during his final three seasons at the club.
Vissel Kobe chairman Hiroshi Mikitani told reporters at a press conference: “I am pleased to announce that Andres Iniesta will be signing up to play for Vissel Kobe after his historic career at FC Barcelona.
“Iniesta is a top global player. Many of us will recall Iniesta’s astounding goal in the final of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa that brought Spain its first title in the tournament.
“Since 2015, Iniesta has also led FC Barcelona as captain and last year he was the first player to sign a lifetime contract with the club.”
Mikitani added: “I am confident Iniesta’s philosophy, leadership and DNA will be a terrific inspiration, not only for Vissel Kobe but all Japanese football society.
“We look forward to Andres Iniesta not only strengthening the team’s performance but also contributing to the development of the next generation of players through the introduction of the Iniesta methodology to the youth academy.
“We believe his decision to come to Japan will have a major impact, not just on Vissel Kobe, but on football in Japan and Asia.”
“Iniesta will raise the profile of Japanese football globally and we are working on activities to leverage his presence here and promote the J.League worldwide.
“I am very proud to see this day come.
“We will do everything in our power to support Iniesta during his time in Japan and show us all his beautiful, inspiring play.”
2el: The Federal Government, states and local governments shared N701 billion as revenue for the month of April, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance, Mahmoud Isa-Dutse, said on Wednesday in Abuja.
Mr Isa-Dutse said the amounts shared were the outcome of Federal Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) meeting.
Giving a breakdown of the revenue accrued in April, the permanent secretary said mineral revenue increased by N50.7 billion, that is from N360.51 billion in March to N411.2 billion in April.
He added that non-mineral revenue also increased by N81.25 billion, from N120 billion in March to N201.3 billion in April.
He noted that Value Added Tax (VAT) collected increased from N80.35 billion in March to N83.4 billion in April.
He indicated that “gross statutory revenue of N613 billion received for the month was higher than the N480.59 billion received in previous month by N132.45 billion.
“Crude oil sales volume increased by 64 per cent, compared with 7.72 million barrels from the previous month, resulting in increased revenue from the Federation Crude Oil Export Sales by 226.90 million dollars.
“Also, average crude oil price increased from 65.7 dollars to 66.78 dollars per barrel.
“Performance for the month in review would have been better but for a few production shut-ins and shut-downs at various terminals for repairs and maintenance.”
Mr Isa-Dutse said looking at the significant increase in revenues, the federal, states and local government decided to save some of the month’s revenue for the rainy day.
In summary, Mr Isa-Dutse said, N276.53 billion was allocated to Federal Government, N140.2 billion to states and N108.1 billion was allocated to local governments.
On the issue of reconciliation of accounts with Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mr Isa-Dutse said it was ongoing.
He explained that reconciliation of monies collected by revenue generating agencies was also ongoing.
Meanwhile, the Chairman, Finance Commissioner’s Forum, Mahmud Yunusa, said states were planning to contest the current revenue sharing formula.
He said it was not fair that Federal Government should take the lion share of the revenue “when states and local governments were closer to the people
“We are clamouring for review of the revenue sharing formula because most people reside in states and local governments.
“The Federal Government only controls Abuja but where the real Nigerians reside are states and local governments.
“So, we believe they should have more revenues so that they can work better, so that the people will feel the impact and presence of government.”
Mr Yunusa said states would soon make their demand formal so that the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) would begin the process of reviewing the current revenue sharing formula.
Currently, the country is operating on a revenue allocation formula of: Federal Government — 52.68 per cent, State Governments — 26.72 per cent and Local Governments — 20.60 per cent.
Also, 13 per cent of the oil and gas federally collected revenue is given to oil-producing states and communities as derivation revenue to compensate for ecological risks of oil production.
This formula was designed during the President Olusegun Obasanjo Administration.

A MESSAGE FOR #LINDAIKEJI @officialLindaikeji I was trying to promote your stupid ass by announcing your N100k. Idiotic slowpoke.

Even though you might have substantial experience in international travel, at a time, you were a newbie. Perhaps, you haven’t had any scuffle with a customs agent in your many years of traveling. Or, you have friends looking forward to their first international trip. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares some important things to know before your first journey beyond the domestic terminals.
Learn the basics
You don’t need to be fluent in the local language of your destination, but endeavour to become familiar with this 4 essential information: the currency exchange rate; how to count to 10; how to say “yes” and “no”; and how to say “thank you”. Do not be over-adventurous
Upon arrival in a new country, you are vulnerable to all sorts of errors and bad choices. Hence, you have to be very careful with the places you visit. Better to relax and do a bit of research when you arrive at your hotel before exploring things and places. The visa process may be complicated
The visa application process may be more complicated and time-consuming than you’d expect, but think of it this way: as complicated as getting a passport in your own country can be, take that imposingly bureaucratic process and add in another country with a completely different set of laws, with limited staff working from a single embassy office. Given these circumstances, it’s a wonder that it isn’t harder to get a visa.
Plan accordingly
You may think your own home airport is a pretty busy place, but the world’s biggest international hubs — including Dubai International, London Heathrow, Hong Kong International and others take it to another level, with so many terminals, customs checkpoints, re-check-in and more. So, you get prepared and plan how you are going to navigate these airports depending on the country you are visiting.
Pack light
This will be the hardest thing about travel. There are a few harder urges to overcome than overpacking. Try as much as possible to resist the temptation of overpacking. Also, do not forget to pack your things in a well-secured luggage. Source:Things A Newbie Should Know About Travelling Abroad
It is the sold out season in the industry and as expected, the industry giants are already cashing out at various shows in the Diaspora.
Very recently Davido shut down a 10,000 capacity stadium in Suriname, a country in South America. Also Wizkid announced that his next show “AfroRepublik” which is coming up at the 20,000 capacity O2 Arena in London on the 26 of May is already sold out.
While these two keep bragging about shutting it down in one continent or another, that is not the case for one of the biggest rappers in the industry, Olamide.
The YBNL boss failed in a bid to fill out the 24,000 capacity Teslim Balogun Stadium back in December 2017 when he hosted the fourth edition of his annual OLIC music series. Despite this, Olamide still managed to gather a huge crowd at the venue.
Now the question is �
For a Wembley football stadium which has a seating capacity of 90,000 which among our top 3 music acts do you think is capable of selling out a show at that venue?
deji17: EXCLUSIVE: Despite moving to APC, two ex-governors charged with money laundering
May 22, 2018
Abdulaziz Abdulaziz
Two former governors who last year decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) are among a host of suspects to be tried by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
A former governor of Zamfara State, Mahmud Shinkafi, and that of Kebbi State, Sa’idu Dakingari, will be docked by the anti-corruption agency for breaching the country’s anti money laundering law.
Already, charges have been prepared and filed at federal high courts in the respective states, against the two former governors and their alleged accomplices.
Critics of the federal agency often accuse it of allegedly going after opposition politicians only.
However Messrs Shinkafi and Dakingari decamped to the APC last year, without citing any reasons for their action, in a wave of defections across the country.
Critics described such defections as a means of escaping corruption charges.
In March, the two former governors attended a meeting of the ruling party’s caucus, presided by President Muhammadu Buhari, at the Presidential Villa.
PREMIUM TIMES reported Mr Shinkafi’s decamping to the APC, in November 2017, where he was received by the deputy governor of the state, Ibrahim Wakkala.
The former governor, after picking his membership card, promised to work for the development of the party not only at the state level but the country as a whole.
“My coming to APC is home coming for me, because I left it before and now I am back home to my brothers and sisters. Together we are going to work for the party to become stronger and the party to beat in the state,” he said.
On the eve of 2017, Mr Dakingari led some high profile PDP members in his state of Kebbi into the APC.
The defectors were received by the state governor, Abubakar Bagudu, and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.
Mahmud Shinkafi The former governor, after picking his membership card, promised to work for the development of the party not only at the state level but the country as a whole.
“My coming to APC is home coming for me, because I left it before and now I am back home to my brothers and sisters. Together we are going to work for the party to become stronger and the party to beat in the state,” he said.
On the eve of 2017, Mr Dakingari led some high profile PDP members in his state of Kebbi into the APC.
The defectors were received by the state governor, Abubakar Bagudu, and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.
PREMIUM TIMES gathered that Mr Shinkafi will be docked before federal high court in Gusau, Zamfara state capital, on May 28, while the arraignment of Mr Dakingari is slated for June 20.
The Diezani ‘Poisoned Chalice’
The top politicians of the PDP stock are enmeshed in corruption investigations following discovery by investigators of how Nigeria’s former petroleum minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, funnelled $115 million to fund the party’s campaign.
The money, stashed with Fidelity Bank, was shared to PDP campaign coordinators and officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to ensure success of the PDP in the 2015 polls.
In a nationwide crackdown, EFCC arrested and detained many politicians across the federation who are believed to be party to collection and distribution of the slush funds.
Some INEC staff were also convicted for taking cuts in the N23 billion election bazaar.
On Monday, former Minister of Water Resources, Mukhtari Shagari, was arraigned along with four others for allegedly indulging in the funds.
Others charged along with Mr Shagari are Abdullahi Wali, Ibrahim Gidado, Nasiru Bafarawa and Ibrahim Milgoma.
They are accused of receiving N500 million from Mrs Alison-Madueke’s slush funds “without transacting through a financial institution and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 18(a) of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act”.
Sweeping Trials An insider at the EFCC told PREMIUM TIMES that the commission’s leadership had decided to prepare charges against all those involved.
Saidu Dakingari However, careful not to lose the cases on account of lack of adequate evidence to convict the suspects, the EFCC has decided to go after what the official called “low hanging fruits”.
Instead of charging the suspects with stealing public funds or conspiracy to commit act of corruption, the commission has decided to go after the “more obvious” money laundering offences.
The suspects are therefore mainly charged with breach of anti-money laundering regulations of wiring large amounts of cash through financial institutions.
Others slated for trial in this wave of prosecution, are former Minister of Education, Ibrahim Shekarau, and another former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Aminu Wali, both from Kano state.
While Mr Wali is said to have confessed to collecting money from the slush funds, Mr Shekarau is said to have denied involvement. An aide who was also initially identified as the one who collected Mr Shekarau’s share has reportedly recanted.
Already, Mr Shekarau has alleged witch-hunt. In a statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES by his spokesperson, Sule Sule, he said the EFCC was trying to prosecute him despite having no evidence.
Mr Shekarau served as education minister under the Goodluck Jonathan presidency and has indicated interest to run for president in 2019 under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“Since 2016, when the issue of election fund came up, Shekarau was invited by the EFCC to explain the amount given to him along with other stakeholders of the (PDP) party in Kano, but he denied ever receiving such amount and challenged EFCC to produce any one who has given him the money or any evidence to prove that he actually collected the money,” Mr Sule said in the statement.
In Jigawa, former junior minister of foreign affairs, Nurudeen Mohammed, and the governorship candidate of PDP in the state, Aminu Ringim, are also being prepared for arraignment.
As Jigawa state’s most senior representatives in the then government, Mr Mohammed reportedly collected the cash ‘contribution’ for the PDP campaign in the state, and handed the money over to Mr Ringim, who was the party’s candidate and close aide of then governor Sule Lamido.

Sunnynwa: Buhari queries Obasanjo over $16bn power project
President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday querried the spending of $16 on power project during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
The president was speaking at the Presidential Villa in Abuja while receiving the Buhari Support Organization led by the Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Customs Service, Ahmed Ali.
Buhari did not mention Obasanjo's name, but asked where was the power after a former president claimed to have spent $16bn on the project.
The House of Representatives had in 2008 described $16 billion spent on power by Obasanjo's government as colossal waste, blaming it on "poor budget planning and a lack of proper oversight by relevant bodies.
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project had also in 2016 urged the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Water Samuel Onnoghen, to immediately appoint an independent counsel to investigate allegations of corruption in the spending of $16 billion on electricity by Obasanjo's government.
AutoJoshNIG: Indeed, Governor Ambode is on a roll.
With the tenacity of a bulldog, his administration is leaving no stone unturned to give the transport infrastructure in Lagos state a major face-lift.
Clearly, the Ambode administration is enormously determined to leave a legacy of excellence in the transport sector.
And as part of the efforts to achieve that, the Ambode administration is currently constructing 100 new bus-stops and terminals around the state.
The set deadline for the completion of this incredible ambition is May 29th 2018. This was intended for the commemoration of the 3rd year in office of Governor Ambode.
However, that deadline appears unattainable. It is just a few weeks to that date. It doesn’t look likely that all 100 new bus-stops and terminals will be ready before that date. But, hey, lets just hope on a miracle. � �
Nonetheless, and without a doubt, for the ongoing efforts to give dignity to mass transit in Lagos state, the Ambode administration truly deserves some accolades .
For instance, Autojosh recently went on a tour to see the ongoing construction works at the bus terminal at Yaba.
The visit to the site revealed to us that the bus stop is nearing completion, and the entire once-very-disorganized Yaba bus-stop is fast achieving a great measure of sanity.
Again, and at the risk of sounding repetitive, we maintain, Governor Ambode clearly deserves some accolades!
HigherEd: PASTOR EA ADEBOYE VISITS SAMOA AS THEIR HEAD OF STATE AND OTHERS GIVE THEIR LIVES TO CHRIST
Hundreds crammed into the TATTE Conference Centre yesterday evening to catch a glimpse of Nigerian mega-church PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE – guest speaker at the Let the Fire Fall Crusade, an interdenominational event which was accompanied by “signs and wonders”. As the General Overseer for the 196 branches worldwide of THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD (RCCG) including Samoa, the 76-year-old Pentecostal icon delivered a message of prosperity, deliverance and blessing to the people and Government of Samoa.
Present at the Crusade was High Highness Head of State, Tuimalealiifano Vaaletoa Sualauvi II, as well as various Government dignitaries who attended with their families. Preaching about the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 18: 36-39, he said, “The Prophet of God came to town, and there was a competition between light and darkness, darkness tried all that it could and it failed, then the prophet of God said ‘it is my turn’. When the prophet of God said that, the Fire of God fell.”
In the nation of Samoa, the Fire of God will fall today. When the fire fell, several things happened; I will mention only five of them. The first thing that happened was that the prayer of the man of God was answered. I want to prophesize to someone right now, today your prayer shall be answered. How do I know for sure? In Jeremiah 33: 3, God promised that if you call on Him, He will answer you. He didn’t say ‘I may answer you’, he said ‘I will.’”
He continued, “You hear some people say that when you call on God, He may say Yes, No or Wait. Next time you hear that, ask that person to show you where it is written in the Bible because that is human theory. God said ‘if you call on me I will answer’.” “The second thing that happened was that Elijah claimed a great victory that day. He won in the battle against all the prophets of Baal. All the enemies of Israel were finished in one day. Today, all the enemies of Samoa will be finished. The secret to victory is divine presence. When God is for you, nobody can be against you.”
“When God wanted to deliver Israel out of Egypt, He sent Prophet Moses to speak to Pharaoh; He told Moses ‘I will be with you’. I am decreeing today that every force of darkness that is walking against Samoa today, they will be released. Whenever God is with you, you will win a great victory, from today onward, in the mighty name of Jesus, Samoa – you will be more that a conqueror.”
Also present at the Crusade was a team of THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD Pastors, Intercessors and Assistants of PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE – all who travelled with him to Samoa from their church base in Nigeria. At the conclusion of the powerful session of worship and message, an altar call was delivered with His Highness, Tuimalealiifano leading the way as the first person to come forward.
With a tight schedule, PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE departed for Vanuatu earlier this morning from Faleolo Airport in his private jet, as he continues to “spread the Fire of God” to the Pacific nations.
Samoa’s RCCG branch is located in Lotopa and is pastored by Pastor Houlton and Amelia Faasau. The entire event was aired live on local TV stations last night.
Nollywood actor and rapper, Charles Okocha, a.k.a Igwe 2Pac, opened up on how he came up with the now viral ‘accolades’ video.
He also spoke about his love for his mother and dream woman. Here are excerpts from the chat;
What motivated your skit, Accolade ?
Nothing actually; it was just something I came up with randomly. When I look at some people who have worked really hard and nobody ever acknowledged them, it makes me feel bad.
So, I just did the video to let everyone know that hard-working people should be appreciated and acknowledged. I was surprised that it went viral but I am happy that I came up with something that a lot of people are inspired by and can also relate to.
On his type of woman
i like a humble woman who fears God. I love women who are real and don’t wear a lot of make-up. I love it when a woman appreciates her beauty. Before I can take any woman seriously, I have to see traits of godliness in her.
Will you marry your son’s mother ?
When the time comes, everyone will know. But for now, let’s just not talk about that.
What are your aspirations?
I want to get closer to God and someday, I may end up becoming a pastor. It would be a delight winning souls for the kingdom of God and worshipping His holy name.
On his mother
I love my mother so much and I can do anything for her. I was just appreciating her because she did her best for me. She has paid her dues and there is no accolade that will be enough for her. I was also trying to make other people appreciate their mothers because there are people who will give anything for their mothers to be alive. If your mother is still alive, always appreciate her and make her happy. My mum trained me and stood by me to this point. Whatever I do is to make her happy and put a smile on her face. My mother is my priority before any woman comes in and I will keep making her proud. I don’t joke with her.
