Dangote's name always keeps popping up when it comes to underhand business dealings especially those that grant him monopolistic deals.
From Ibeto saga to BUA to Ifeanyi Uba's accusation to this one and many more.
Why won't he be d richest black man wt all these sweetheart business monopolies he keeps securing from successive govts in a country of 200m people?
In China,they'd shot him a long time ago for economic sabotage.
In Russia,he'd be serving multiple life sentences for same offence.

You just like hating people because of their success. Dangote's great grandfather was the richest person in West Africa during his time.


DANGOTE'S GREAT GRANDFATHER DEPOSITED 20 CAMELS OF SILVER COINS IN FIRST BANK IN 1929
Old Receipt Reveals Dangote's Grandfather as One of the First Nigerians to Deposit Money in a Bank

- Dangote's grandfather was one of the very first Nigerians to use a bank, according to an emerging old receipt

- Alhaji Alhassan Dantata opened an account and made a deposit in Kano state.

- His deposits were said to have been carried by camels.

The great grandfather of Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote, was one of the first persons in the country to transact with a bank when they were established.

According to an old receipt shared on Twitter by Nigeria Stories, the businessman had made a deposit when the Bank of British (now First Bank) opened a branch in Kano state in 1929.

Alhaji Alhassan Dantata showcased great wealth even in the manner of his deposit at that time.
He deposited 20 camel loads of silver coins.

moralistic:
dragged ? Nobody dragged anybody... your mighty kyari will be prosecuted before your own eyes

We don't support bad conducts and unethical attitudes in work. Let him face the music.

YinkaOlusesi16:
Osinbajo will do better, he`s a christian, a pastor, & a GOD fearing man.

Nonsense!

Sonoyom:
Arewa people no get shame at all, they are twisting and turning the narrative. Everything in Nigeria is ethnic and political.



Failed Nation.

Isn't a shame but true picture of ur attitudes.
I'm now understanding that u are so confused that u don't even know how disgraceful ur social media views are!


Many Northerners have been persecuted by this Govt despite court interventions. Can't see the case of Dasuki ad Zakzaky?
Zakzaky's case was much more soft than Kanu's case but u are defending him like a innocent person.
In most cases Presien must defend the oath he take irrespective of the circumstances surrounding a particular situation but u always jumpt to ethnic painting of events.

A lot would've been aid if Kyari is ur kinsman!

mrvitalis:
Boy ..I duff my hat for the Fulanis

Honestly they have given aregbe mind to think he can fight tinubu ...boom the camp is divided

Fayemi attacking from one end, aregbe from another ... ambode from another

This is north game plan is always the same I wonder why people still fall for it

1) first they give you a big post that is not fundamental to power ...vice president , speaker , deputy senate president , minister , governors forums chairman , progressive governors s chairman

2) they allow ur excessive use of power as long as you don't come for them ...then you feel big ...then they send you on missions that would make your people hate you ...make you go against your key support base

But it doesn't matter because they give you access to more power u feel more arrogant

3) you have lost your base ,they are done with you ..boom they begin to cut you to shred by raising another you to fight you by giving him access to more power than you ...your power us gone ...no base or at most little base at best ..so no one to fight for you

Analyze it well this thing have happened to many people and some people are in stage 2)

Oshomole, tinubu , aregbe , rochas , umiah etc

Can u testify the minutes of the fulani meeting where these conspiracies are set up?


Some people are just wiser than others. Some are more coordinated that others. Some can have political disagreement but will never affect their true relationship. North play politics differently!

Finally, Chibunna Patrick Umeibe and Emeka Alphonsus have dragged Kyari into what they know how to do the most

Still believe in superstitions but will come here and call others backward

ProfAmaben:
Abba Kyari should not be mentioned where the Kanus or Igbohos are mentioned. Kyari is a criminal while the others are freedom fighters fighting for a noble cause. (God didn't create Nigeria but Britain, I wonder why the so-called religious Nigerians would die for a man's creation (Luggard))

The criminal northerners that have destroyed this country would have sacked a southerner long ago but since it's their criminal northern brother that supports corruption and nepotism to the core, anything goes.

Northerners are kleptomaniacs, give them USA or Britain, they would destroy it in a day with corruption.

Abacha was not kwaruft

You cry when it doesn't favour you but wail when it is in ur favour.
Do you know that when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria;
Chief of Army Staff was from SE correct
Chief of Naval Staff was from SE So Admiral Wey a Yoruba man is now igbo
IG of Police was from SE So Louis Edet is Now an igbo man
Chief of Defence Staff was from SE that post was none existent in the 60s
Internal Affairs Minister SE So Majekodumi is now south east
External Affairs Minister SE So Mathew Mbu is now south east
Education Minister South SE correct
Many other key ministries to SE can you give me the names of the key ministries
Parliament President SE Nwafor Orizu was elected by caucus of both NCNC and NPC 
Unilag VC from SE Eni Njoku was appointed by the outgoing British Federal commisioner
The University of Ibadan VC from SE Kenneth Dike was appointed by the British
North resisted same at ABU! How did the north resist the first VC of ABU was Norman Foster a white man
Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!!
There was crisis in the Western Region caused by Ladoke Akintola and Sardauna that was what led to the coup
Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed.
Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it!
But the decree was never used. Gowon put a decree that gave rise to the quasi federal system we have today and not Ironsi. If you must know Gowon repealed Ironsi's decree after he was killed.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic caused unprecedented social and economic consequences across the world. The rapid spread of COVID coupled with drastic measures taken by fiscal and monetary authorities to stabilize their respective economies has certainly changed the world as we know it.

In Nigeria, its impact was evident through several channels. First, the virus constituted a challenge to public health given its contagious nature, and measures had to be taken to contain the spread of the virus. These included social distancing and movement restrictions, while efforts were taken to build the capacity of our health care institutions to respond adequately to the virus.

Riding on the back of the reality that beholds the nation, the CBN announced the creation of a N100 billion intervention fund in loans to pharmaceutical companies and healthcare practitioners intending to expand and strengthen the capacity of our healthcare institutions.

Not long after the Governor of the Central bank, Godwin Emefiele said to further drive the recovery of our economy, the monetary policy recognised that while the interventions in our manufacturing sector is essential; it is also essential that we continue to support the medical sector.

“When we started COVID, CBN set aside N100 billion to support the healthcare sector.

“But upon the rise in demand, the CBN had taken up N100 billion to support healthcare but the monetary policy committee has said they should move it further up to N200 billion.

“We would continue to do whatever can be done to support healthcare,” he said.

He also urged more private sector operators to invest in medical facilities that would help reverse medical tourism citing that medical tourism is a headache for Nigeria’s foreign reserves; and highlighting that for every 1 billion dollars allocated to medical treatment abroad, there was less than 1 billion dollars that could be available to other critical sectors of the economy.

The most recent statistics made available by Emeiele at the launch of the 100 for 100 initiatives, indicates that In healthcare, 122 major healthcare projects have been funded to the tune of N115.36 billion.

He said: ‘These healthcare interventions went to 31 pharmaceutical and 91 hospital projects.

“This intervention helped to support the acquisition of 59 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners, 42 Computer Tomography (CT) scanners, and 4 Oncology screening machines.”

The progressive initiative has been leveraged by many forward-thinking entrepreneurs’, to deliver facilities across the healthcare value chains in the country – one of which is the world-class cancer centre known as Marcelle Ruth Cancer Center (MRCC) and Specialist Hospital.


Duchess Hospital

Arguably, the first of its kind in Nigeria and sub-Sahara Africa and fully equipped with up-to-date, end-to-end one-stop facilities that compete favourably with those in developed countries.

The centre houses an imaging centre with CT; mammogram; ultrasound; X-Ray machines; modern laboratory services; two operating theatres; an eight-bed chemotherapy suite; a radiotherapy centre with a linear accelerator and brachytherapy, fifteen private en-suite rooms for in-patients; pharmacy and counselling service.

It is expected that as a result of this development, Nigerians will no longer have reasons to travel out of the country to seek medical attention and care, especially on cancer-related and other special health issues.

The visioner and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Dr Modupe Elebute-Odunsi said: “the Marcelle Ruth Visioner found a willing and committed partner in Polaris Bank, one of Nigeria’s leading banks.

“The Bank believed in the vision and leveraging the CBN Health sector loan, partly financed the procurement of medical equipment- radiotherapy equipment and accessories for the Specialist Cancer Centre.”

It is also believed that the formal launch and opening of Marcelle Ruth Cancer Centre and Specialist Hospital boosted efforts to reverse medical tourism in Nigeria, while also shoring up the nation’s foreign exchange capital base.

Similarly, the apex bank, in collaboration with Access Bank Plc and Bank of Industry (BoI), supported the Chairman of Reddington Hospital Group, Dr Adeyemi Onabowale, with a credit facility of N6.5billion to set up Duchess International Hospital in Lagos.

The CEO of the new hospital, Dr Adetokunbo Shitta-Bey, said the healthcare industry in Nigeria is worth N6.5 trillion, out of which N600 billion is expended by Nigerians in search of solutions for Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), cancer and other minor sicknesses abroad.

According to the CBN governor, part of the reasons often cited by those who travel for medical care abroad is inadequate healthcare services and obsolete medical devices.

He said: “Medical tourism is rising demand. As of now, medical tourism constitutes a huge drain on our foreign reserves. For a country of 210 million people, projected to be about 450 million people in 2050, we can no longer afford to do anything even amid the repeated warnings of the dangers that lie ahead if we do not begin to depend largely on ourselves for our nutritional, medical and educational needs.

“The CBN cannot afford to sit idly by and concentrate on its core mandate of rate stability. Additional measures are required to identify broad sectors of our economy and channel credit to these sectors while imposing proper monitoring and performance measures.

“The CBN, working with Access Bank and Bank of Industry, supported Dr Yemi Onabowale, with a loan of N6.5 billion to set up this magnificent state-of-the-art facility which will help in providing Nigerians with high quality healthcare services that are comparable to what is being provided anywhere else in the world.”

Vice President Osinbajo in his speech said the only solution to stop doctors migrating is to reward hard work even as he declared that the 100-suits state-of-the-art health facility has the capacity and all it takes to reverse medical tourism in Nigeria.

He said: “The only way to ensure that Nigerian doctors practise medicine in Nigeria is to reward hard work which the Reddington Hospital Group is known for.”

According to him, the opening of the new hospital is a cause for celebration firstly because it shows that “ we have all it takes to become the place of choice for even medical tourists from developed countries looking to jump long queues for specialised procedures at home or simply shopping for more affordable fees for first-class healthcare.”

“Secondly, we have by far the largest number of middle- to low-income communities and individuals in sub–Saharan Africa who require affordable, high-quality healthcare.”

He added that Nigeria is not just a country that has world-class talent, world-class ideas and world-class execution of ideas, with more investments in its health sector, it will also make the country a destination of choice for medical tourists even from developed countries.

The Vice President noted that the establishment of such facilities would not only further provide more Nigerians with excellent healthcare solutions, but it would also open more opportunities to the country’s high-quality medical personnel.

“With investments like this seeking high-quality medical personnel, we can even reverse the trend of doctors voting with their feet. The reasons for voting with their feet are obvious: better remuneration, better facilities.”

Speaking on the health care intervention, Chairman, Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Group of Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (PMG-MAN), Dr Fidelis Ayebae said: “Every company that met the loan requirement got it. We are happy with the CBN for the initiative and the way it was implemented.

Dumb people showing support for this terrorist...

You f*cking religious fanatic always saying rubbish. This childishust stop otherwise we will shock u come 2023!

Andrew Azazi, Former Chief of Army staff of OBJ and GEJ's National Security Adviser confessed that PDP is Boko Haram and he was eventually assassinated in helicopter crash in less than 3 months after his confession.


Many conspiracies are created in this Nation!

lwisee:
You are not serious.
Are you telling me that Christians provoked the Muslims up north before they start Bokoharam.

MAI TATSINE, BOKO HARAM AND CAN: THE
BITTER TRUTH
“Marwa Maitatsine, was a Christian until
his death!!
Back in 1954, there ware series of
meetings by the highest body of Christian
association in the northern Nigeria, in Jos,
which I happened to be the secretary, taking the minutes of that meeting (then, I
was an undergraduate student of Christian
Theology). Part of the result of that
meeting was, to sponsor some people
among ‘us’ to go to Arab countries as new
Muslim converts, and learn Arabic and Islam. Their mission is to come back to
Nigeria as Muslims clerics, use their Islamic
knowledge to preach violence, distort
original Islamic teachings and if possible
cause a riot in the North that will make
northern Nigeria a history. Five people were nominated for the job, and sent to
Sudan to start their mission. 3 of them
refused to come back and execute their
plan, but spent the rest of their lives in
Sudan as true Muslims. The remaining two;
Muhammad Marwa and Birema came back, Marwa was sent to Kano, and Birema was
sent to Niamey Niger Republic.”….Pro
fessor Dauda Ojobi

Professor Dauda Ojobi, a former secretary of Northern Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN), a retired Professor in Benue
State University faculty of Law, the 3rd
Reverend Father from northern Nigeria,

Mai Tatsine the obsolete version of Boko
Haram, which began their reign in late 50’s in Kano and some other parts of Northern
Nigeria, their ideologies were similar to
that of Boko Haram, they forbade what
Islam allowed, and allowed what Islam
made haram. They claimed western
education is sin, they rejected anything brought by technology, they were popular
with saying, wearing a wrist watch is
haram, using radios and television is
haram e.t.c. (considering the technological
advancement of that period). The spiritual
leader of Maitatsine movement was Muhammad Marwa a.k.a Mai Tatsine. The
Emir of Kano Sanusi, once suspected
Maitasine as fake Muslim when he
discovered Maitatsine received goods from
Vatican Palace. After sarki confirmed his
findings, he expelled Maitatsine out of Kano, in early 60’s. Mai Tatsine was later
brought back to Kano by Gov. Rimi in 1979.
Rimi believed that Maitatsine would help
him win his reelection through charm.
After the Maitatsine’s death, Shagari, the
then President set a Anya Goru panel to investigate the crises. Prof. Dauda has
made his submission in that panel, but
when the President, saw the report, he
said no, the white paper will not be issued
on this report, because it may result to
crises, so the white paper was not issued, till date.
Professor Dauda became Muslim in 1966,
after he came back from Rome, where he
went to further his studies, in Christian
Theology. He is still alive and has become a
Muslim preacher for over 40 years. What I quoted above was from his lecture I
attended in Bauchi, 2002.
+++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++ ++++
+++++++++++ +++++++++++++++ +
-Ever since, no any Christian scholar or CAN
executive denied this statement from Prof. Dauda . Are they waiting for his death
before they deny it?
-Security operatives that always claim they
want uproot the Boko Haram mayhem did
not investigate in that angle, why?
-Why the relationship between Jerry Gana (CAN chieftain) and Muhammad Yusuf,
founder of Bokoharam? The former has
bailed the later from police custody several
times.
-I see a double standard approach and
hypocrisy by the security personnel, in the investigation.
-I began to believe Boko Haram is the
creation of some enemies of Islam possibly
CAN (not Christian), is never a creation of
Muslims.
-Remember, Hillary Clinton once said Taliban is their creation, to fight Russians.

phelps007:
Tambuwal?
The same one consulting here and there to be the next president..na wa o

Tambuwal is a monumental failure. A day before yesterday, in a Twitter post somebody from Sokoto announced 50k gift for anybody who show 10km road built by Tambuwal. Nobody got the money, I wonder what Tambuwal will do if he becomes President. These animals are just contesting to enjoy the seat of power but have nothing to offer. This same disaster goes to Bala Muhd, he can't pay 4 months consecutive salary without hitches, workers are suffering in Bauchi with little infrastructure to show but still wants to be President of Nigeria.

We need to ponder well beyond bigotry and sentiment and choose people based on their antecedents not paper qualifications or political capacity!

I told someone here that PMB won't succumb to the sinister of Bagudu and Badaru.
A level playing ground politics will be given in APC from PMB's point of view, all other politicking are left for the contestants!

Truthisunique2:
guy we are talking reality here

Tinubu is coming from an opposing end, at 70 this year if he misses out he would be 78 the next election of 8 years and he can never get it

Buhari is coming from an opposing end and needs his candidate there by all means he detest Tinubu

Buhari Fulani ego is bigger than Tinubu he considers fake muslim.

I don't think Tinubu would make it out alive with the plan buhari is using now, they have just signalled the NWC to effect ban on APC nass from convention

Stop this.....

No Muslim is fake and I'm more Fulani than who is born from Kanuro mother and Fulani father.

I know PMB very well, he is a kind of person that has upright mind though he can be shortchanged due to some protocols.

Truthisunique2:
no, he is already deciding APC fate unless your name is apc

Let us see....all I know is, losing election for APC is like a losing their legacies which he led...

Truthisunique2:
Lol after this begging buhari still no gree for you

Buhari just played you like chess, your visit is of no use if all he told you was to go tell the world.

Would he say same to his "candidate" to go consult with "the world"

What a mockery

Buhari can't decide our fate. We are done with him. APC should support Tinubu or perish!

Penguin2:


APC are rejoicing they won Gwagwalada.

Abuja people no like APC at all

Abuja people don't vote Govt on power!

Eriokanmi:
Where was your head before sir?

But so far, I've not heard that military was deployed to the protesting truckers to kill them. All we saw were the police maintaining peace, unlike here where police were seen killing peaceful protesters before huloodlums hijacked it and started burning stations and killing police in reprisals.

Again, were police not brutal on the Nigerian youths, most of whom are doing legitimate businesses? The answer is yes. You can't compare those protesting over covid-19 with those protesting over the killing of their innocent loved ones by the corrupt police here.

Again, same twitter had banned some users who had spoken or twitted disrespectfully about buhari and his government before, check it. Buhari who's an individual account holder isn't above the law of twitter. You can't compare the 2 scenarios please Lai.

The insurrection in DC was a pure act of terror. Nobody had invaded the national assembly here before in that manner. Such an act wouldn't have be taken lightly by Nigerians as well.

You don't need to be unpatriotic just to defend our enemies. What lai Muhd said is very true, many Africans don't know the level of enmity those Westerners have for us. They want to see us fighting and destroying our lands, it gives them joy and opportunity to call us monkeys.

During the protest,, President and Govt backed the protesters to protest peacefully but it was later politicised and changed from Endsars to bad governance after SARs was dissolved. The police killed during the protest are more than 30 across the Nation, the protesters ate their flesh but uptill now nobody can show the name or picture of the killed protesters.
Why the destruction and why should a person protesting do what he is protesting against?

Is it not yet clear that those people are our enemies?

Though I don't support jungle justice but this is the only way to mitigate the rampaging killings.

PDP will slowly die after NW convention. All hope will be dented. Kwankwaso is the only hope of PDP in the North. Tambuwal is using his position to sideline him by force for his Presidential ambition which will consequently send Kwankwaso to either APC or building another party that will cripple PDP!

he said he was being paid half of his salary, not all of it

What's the big deal and suspicion
about❓

Beggars in strategic locations make
over 2000 to 5000 daily. Some people
drop 50, some drop 100 and others
can drop 500 to 1k. And she saves for
months and years.

These beggars don't pay rent, TP or
operate bank account.


A man who has made hundreds of
millions from stealing government dollars
can decide to go and drop dollars as
alms.


You think that Hausas who are the
specialists in begging don't know what
they are doing❓ Some beggars even
have 4 wives.


This is an innocent woman and I hope
police won't Rob her.


stealing government

U got it right. You said it well. Govt need to stop these begging because is a business for lazy, heartless people!

Tracka:
Most of these beggars are informants for kidnappers, that money is too huge

No she may not be. I really want every state to expell these buggers from their streets. Giving them money has turned begging a business and made them lazy.

Many of these beggers built houses, bought keke napep, bought many things giving them profit in return.
Govt need to stop these nonsense begging!

osuofia2:
we all know that most LGA elections are usually won by government or party in power.
That is why you see most LG chairmen are party members of the governor's party.
In the case of Abuja, the minister is an appointee of the ruling party so you should know the direction of the results

Abuja is entirely different in that regard.

Even if God will ask me to choose, I'll choose Nigeria over and over!

aribisala0:
Is that borne out of a calculation that if Tinubu gets there then it would be more difficult for a Northern Muslim to succeed him?
So a Southern Christian is more to the advantage of Northern Muslims thus keeping Northern Christians down?

Why do u always reasons in a weird ways?

Everyone is talking abt competence, stability and people's choice but u are here spitting trash.

In the history of this Nation have u ever think a Northerner can ever or have ever been cowards?


If u keep bringing religion into 2023 politics North will surprise u with another 16yrs bondage!

[quote author=kerry57 post=110138981][/quote]Still u are advertising but ignorance. Govt is a system while believe that people stand is a defined by their characters.
One has to abide by the system not his/her conduct because the system defines ur role not ur character that defines the system.

TooMuchStuff:
The hate on Goodluck Jonathan is religious to any HausafulaniKanuri Muslim Northerners.
They hate any Biblical name on any major national infrastructure but loves Islamic names on major highways and other southern infrastructures even when the money used for the structures and any other one across the country are from Southern resources.

To the Ungrateful Parasites.....we are coming....!

Idiot fanatic, u are ingrained in religious fanaticism thinking that we behave the way u do.
Go to KANO and see all sort Chriatians names on our major streets. In sabon gari, we have Igbo roads and many Eastern States names.

It is obvious today that Northern Muslims advocate Christian candidate, Osinbajo more than Muslim Tinubu.
Therefore, take ur bigotry to ur backyard!

Kobicove:
Empty boast

This was exactly the same way Iraq's Saddam Hussein was making empty boasts that his country had nuclear weapons.

This eventually led to Iraq by forces led by the United States...they found no weapons of mass destruction!

Saddam never said Iran had nuclear weapon. US and her ally has the intention of modern crusade and are into it. Iraq was much more developed than Iran and a big threat to world order that was why they toppled him.

US never fought war alone, more than 20 countries fought in Iraq and Afghanistan!

dawnomike:
Iran keeps spending heavily on weaponry rather than improving their country...

Do u rally know their development or u are just guessing as usual?

US can't withstand the sanctions endured for one year but Iran endured it for more than half decade!

Xscape1993:
I would not be surprised because APC and terrorists are......

Where were u when the then NSA of GEJ, Gen. Andrew Azazi confessed that PDP is Boko Haram and he was killed in helicopter crush few months later.

kerry57:
Why is Adesina this sick? Always giving excuses for the failures of this govt. Why not take time and face what u are elected and appointed to do and talk less. I doubt if these guys will stay back in Nigeria if another party take over power from this govt.

crossfm:
Hehehe.

No wonder Gumi called this guy a bootlicker. His zombiism is pro max.

We all know some state governors are useless, but Buhari is the grand patron of clueless association.

You can't be defending Buhari and defaming his creations. They are one and the same.

You have zero knowledge of governance but quick to criticise out of emotion.
I'm very much sure, people like u can insult God if ordinary state Governor give u the same responsibility given to Adesina.
Why this ignorance?
Don't u know the role of his office but castigating him because of bigotic reasons?
