Nepotism every where. So Adelabu worked in CBN with his sister. Let them pay the street what they have stolen via nepotism. Nepotism in this country is the worst form of corruption. Kidnaping is condemnable but give everyone equal opportunity! quote author=Truths9ja post=139603641]KIDNAP OF CHIEF ADEBAYO ADELABU'S SISTER AND HER TWIN SONS: FAMILY APPEALS FOR CALM AS SECURITY AGENCIES COMMENCE INVESTIGATION

The family of Chief Adebayo Adelabu, former Minister of Power and leading gubernatorial aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, wishes to formally confirm the unfortunate kidnapping of his younger sister, Mrs. Olaide Busayo Adegoke John-Paul, alongside her twin sons, Peter and Paul, in the early hours of Wednesday, June 3, 2026.

Mrs. John-Paul, aged 43, was reportedly abducted by armed gunmen at about 7:30 a.m. while on her way to drop her children at school in Ibadan. The abductors also forcefully took away her 12-year-old twin sons who were with her at the time of the incident.

Mrs. Olaide Busayo Adegoke John-Paul is the youngest of the five children of Mrs. Olufunmilayo Aduke Adegoke Adelabu. Until her voluntary retirement last year, she had served meritoriously at both the Central Bank of Nigeria and First Bank Pension Custodian. Following her retirement, she relocated to Ibadan with her children while making preparations to eventually join her husband, Mr. John Paul, who had earlier relocated to the United States of America.

Immediately the incident was reported, all relevant security and law enforcement agencies were duly contacted. We are pleased to confirm that security operatives have swung into action and preliminary investigations have commenced in earnest. Efforts are currently ongoing to ensure the safe rescue of the victims and the apprehension of those responsible for this heinous crime.

Chief Adebayo Adelabu and the entire family are deeply distressed by this tragic development but remain hopeful and confident in the capacity of the security agencies to secure the safe release of Mrs. John-Paul and her children.

The family respectfully appeals to members of the public to remain calm, avoid speculation, and refrain from circulating unverified information that may jeopardize ongoing security operations. We also solicit prayers and support from well-meaning Nigerians during this difficult period.

We further urge anyone with useful information that may assist security agencies in their investigation to promptly report such information through the appropriate channels.

The family will continue to cooperate fully with security authorities and will provide further updates as events unfold.

Thank you.

Parents, mostly. Everyone has some hidden bad character but Parents shouldn't allow it to come up and should always resolve issues among siblings without delays.

Sharia must never be allowed in this country,This is a classic case or brewing extremism.

Crazy youths!

HacheNoire:
16 years will be enough time for His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) to COMPLETELY turn around the country for greatness.

This measures would have been turbo charged within that period and economic boom that will benefit ALL is guaranteed.

It is a good suggestion and highly welcomed.

Bloody lie. You will know this by how they treat those bastards killing in the name of religion up north.

Seriously. And I am sure Olubadan is smart enought not to be misled

Shikena:
Makinde already miscalculated.

Alaafin is fully aligned with Jagaban. This is just round 1 of a battle and Alaafins thrive on such battles historically. Is Makinde equipped to survive in one piece? Hope he consulted elders in his family house

Amen!!!

UDUF Africa:Why Nigerian banks lend me money without collateral – Coscharis



The Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Coscharis Group, Dr Cosmas Maduka, has stated that transparency, accountability, honesty, trustworthiness and decency were the reasons why Nigeria banks are lending him money without demanding for a collateral in accordance with the banking law.

Maduka disclosed this while mentoring Nigeria youths on how to be self-disciplined, responsible, hardworking, determined, dedicated and focused in their various fields of endeavour at a two-day 2025 Under 45 CEOs Business and Leadership Summit with the topic: “From power to purpose, leading with ethical courage, organized by Ultimate Destiny Uplifters Foundation (UDUF Africa), held at Bishop Patterson auditorium , All Saints Cathedral,Onitsha, the commercial city of Anambra State, on Saturday.

According to him, faith in God, self-belief and trust are what every Nigerian youth need at the moment to grow and develope themselves and the country at large.

“I didn’t do money ritual to grow, I made my money through faith in God and the trust people bestowed upon me. What you build on people last longer than what you build for yourself. You wouldn’t believe that in the last thrity years I never signed cheque of Coscharis Group despite having Yorubas as my Group Managing Director and Financial controller respectively as a typical Igbo man from Nnewi, Anambra State.

” I am reciprocating that trust people, investors and Nigeria Financial Institutions bestowed on me that have graciously lead me to the position I found myself today. I am looking for value and not tribalism as a humble man who started hustling as an Akara seller in Jos, Plateau State.


“You must learned to be trusted if you want to change your negative narratives in this World. Today, we live in a place where trust is almost impossible. Nobody will believe your vision and passion until you believe in yourself. You are the change Nigeria is looking for.

“I didn’t start life as a CEO, I started as an Akara seller in Jos, Plateau State, after I lost my father at the age of four.

” I rose to this position I am today, through faith in God and self-belief.


“I didn’t do my business along government sectors, I didn’t build Coscharis to prove that I am a powerful Nigeria, I built it because I believe that business is a calling. My guiding principles is whatever thing you do, do it as unto the Lord. Success is not about what you gain but about who you become and how you serve the society. Success without integrity lead to destruction. Focus without purpose is like a motion without direction.

“Because of my honest determination to grow and my trustworthiness, banks in Nigeria are lending me money without demanding for collateral, and the bank that first risk the trust in me was Guarantee Trust Bank (GTB).


“In 1977, I founded Coscharis Motor, a one- man trading venture that grew into the Coscharis Group, a wholly Nigerian-owned conglomerate with interest spanning automobile, auto-assembly, logistics, IT, agriculture, medical equipment, food and beverages, and chemicals. Today, the group represents leading global brands such as BMW, Jaguar,Land Rover, Ford, Renault and roll royce with operations across Nigeria’s six geo-political zones and in Ghana, Sierra Leone and Japan respectively.


“When you live a life of integrity, people will trust you, investors will believe you and most importantly God would back you up. Do not look for change, you are the change Nigeria is yielding for. I therefore urged you all to used what you have learned here today to develop a vision that will change the socio-economic hardship Nigerians are currently going through at the moment, Maduka concluded.

In his opening remarks, founder of UDUF Africa, Dr. Ezuma Smart Chinedu, emphasized the importance of youth perseverance and acquiring necessary skills to achieve business goals.

He explain that the 2025 summit with the Theme; LeaderShift: Building a new mindset for ethical leadership, was to guide young entrepreneurs on how to remain afloat in their endeavors following the challenges faced by businesses in the country.

“It also aimed to enhance leadership and business management skills and encourage networking among over 200 participants drawn from various sectors of the economy.

Chinedu noted further that Ultimate Destiny Uplifters Foundation aims to provide capacity-building opportunities to young people, entrepreneurs, and leaders who have a passion for serving humanity and transforming African communities.

At what age did Alex Ekueme and Ojukwu contested for the Presidency?

YouAreNobody:
This is the kind of thing some of my Yoruba brethren would like in Nigeria, as long as it's their tribesman who is contesting.

If it's not their tribesman, they'll shout to high heavens

They should make sure they trek to Abuja to show their seriousness. Why none of them could caution the guy when he was spewing hate and nonsense is now becoming clear.

Why are they being redeployed as if they can no longer be trusted?

Zionmdde:
The fact pengassan agreed to call off the strike despite the redeployment stuff only showed they were fighting for the sacked workers who by the reason of the redeployment may no longer be their member

While the millions spent in training them in india will be lost as dangote will spend another to train some more
Dangote will always keep getting dumb advice from his Indian remote controls.

Because we see him as savior, he is now free to disregard our labour laws. I love the way the man blackmail gullible Nigerians into supporting him. First he is getting crude at cheaper price and selling fuel above import price. Always crying sabotage to have his way

Those town criers who have been crying for days now can now wipe their tears off. And all those ones that threatened one million man protest and can drive the protesters to kwara state where they are needed

Why are the mindsets of almost 99 per cent Arise TV staff like this? Nigeria has happened to people and they excelled, blame bad leaders but stop hating on your country. After all, she went to UK and returned on the account of not being fulfilled! Beware of what you fear...

greatiyk4u:
This is emotional and at the time painful as this is the Arise TV journalist that was murdered by armed Robbers in Abuja


Sommie, 29, was not only a cherished member of the ARISE News family but also a vibrant voice that engaged and connected with our viewers.

May her soul continue to rest in the Lord.

Are they treating Nigerians whose dollars heavily assisted in the building the same way they treat the foreigners?

PureFace1:
Unionism is also part of the reasons they don't hire Nigerians, when they hire Nigerians instead of 100% focus on work they will be bother about union and looking to join but foreigners don't have that problems.

So, you can't differentiate which one affects you between the two?

kettykin:
You want to punish Babangida for June 12 annulment but forgive a drug pusher who forfeited $ 400,000 the same period

Hope you know these are in pounds and landed properties and companies are also there?

The man was not even rich. Them done chop that money finish.
