NRI PRIEST: Asaba airport will be closer for Anambrarians and the infrastructure there is better. From Asaba to Idenmili is about one hour,if I'm not mistaken. Asaba people are our brothers and we must patronize the airport. Enuge on the other hand has caused us Anambrarians a lot of pains. I encourage Anambrarians to fly the Asaba international airport,when its completed. We mustn't forget what these Wawa people did to us after the creation of Enugu state. Pride of Igbo my black aass! Enugu airport is a joke and it will lose a lot of businesses to the world class Asaba airport.

asaba is not int airport

Apple has acquired Chinedu Echeruo’s HopStop.com, The Wall Street Journal’s publication, AllThingsDigital reports. Founded in 2005, HopStop.com makes mobile applications for both iOS and Android that covers over 300 cities and that helps people get directions or find nearby subway stations and bus stops. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed as at the time of this publication.

HopStop has oft been compared to Israel’s Waze which was recently acquired by Google for $1 billion. The move is seen as Apple’s plan to bolster its map offering especially given Google’s recent acquisition of Waze.

A serial entrepreneur, Chinedu Echeruo grew up in Eastern Nigeria and attended Kings College, Lagos. He attended Syracuse University and the Harvard Business School in the United States and founded HopStop.com after working for several years in the Mergers & Acquisitions and Leveraged Finance groups of J.P Morgan Chase where he was involved in a broad range of M&A, Financing and Private Equity transactions. He also worked at AM Investment Partners, a $500 million volatility-driven convertible bond arbitrage hedge fund.

He founded and raised nearly $8 million for his two U.S based internet companies; Hopstop.com and Tripology.com. Tripology.com was acquired in 2010 by American travel and navigation information company, Rand McNally. He was named Black Enterprise Magazine’s Small Business Innovator of the year and listed in the magazine’s Top 40 under 40 and is currently a partner and head of the Principal Investing group at Constant Capital, a West Africa based investment bank.

True to form, Echeruo is working on yet another venture but this time, focused on small businesses in Africa. Check out a video of Chinedu Echeruo below at last year’s TedxIkoyi where he talks about his latest project for small businesses in Africa; “crowd sourced business in a box.”

According to him:

“There is no reason why every entrepreneur should have to reinvent the wheel every single time in all the countries in Africa. My idea is to essentially to have one place where a budding entrepreneur can access a template for starting a business, and then customize it to suit their own situation. Essentially a business-in-a-box.”

Corpses of the 10 traders murdered in Mugunu, Borno State by suspected Boko Haram members arrived at the Bodija Market in Ibadan North Local Government of Oyo State on Tuesday.

Their remains were first received by the executive of market union at about 2pm at the toll gate before being taken to the tension-filled market.

The traders were on a business trip to the state when they met their untimely death on Saturday.

On sighting the corpses, hundreds of traders, relatives of the deceased and sympathisers, who had gathered in the market, started weeping uncontrollably.

One of the survivors of the attack, Taoheed Adewuyi, 32, said, “They ( attackers) stopped us along the way and asked us to come down from our vehicle and lie down. They started shooting us one by one.

“I was shot but I was not badly injured. I fainted but later became conscious. I am lucky to be alive.

“One of them went into their vehicle and slaughtered one of us with a knife. The man that was slaughtered is called Ninalowo.

“He was slaughtered because they discovered that he was still breathing after they shot him. I shivered and almost cried out in shock; but I was lucky that I did not. They were Boko Haram members.

A trader, who identified himself simply as Emiola, said, “We cannot confirm the actual number of those who lost their lives. What we know is that 10 of our people were killed.”

The Babaloja of Oyo State, Chief Dauda Oladapo, urged the Federal Government to address the insecurity in the land.

Oladapo said, “This Boko Haram issue is really affecting us. Will government allow them to wipe all of us out? So many people have been killed.

“Prices of food and other agricultural produce that we get from the North have gone up astronomically because it is difficult to get them now as a result of the crisis.”

The Head of Hausa community at Bodija Market, Alhaji Isiyaka Hassan, urged the government to provide adequate security in the interest of the citizens.

The Bodija Food Market was shut on Monday as the traders mourned the murder of their colleagues

It will be recalled that four traders from the market were murdered in a similar circumstance by suspected Boko Haram members on May 5.

PHOTONEWS: America Celebrates Chinua Achebe
Posted: June 3, 2013 - 23:21
President Barack Obama of the US last night lauded the late Nigerian novelist, Chinua Achebe, as a “revolutionary author, educator, and cultural ambassador.”

Mr. Obama’s words of praise for Mr. Achebe, the author of the classic Things Fall Apart and four other widely read novels, were contained in a condolence message he sent to the organizers of an event held in Washington, DC on Sunday, June 2, 2013 to celebrate the life of the late author. The celebration was held at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, DC.

babyosisi: I read that too
Nigerians won African cup,Yorubas drank conc acid at the name of the players instead of celebrating the victory
Tufia
Now they are downing nollywood because yoruba wood has gone nowhere
I think I have only seen one movie with the Halima in it
The way she packed herself into a tight dress out me off
If she is not getting roles insure is her acting
Is Mercy Johson Igbo?
Omotola and Ini Edo nko,at they Igbo
How come they are sought after in roles
Her acting sucks but she wants to blame iton Igos
Stupeed irl

This is why i mentioned that non-igbos actors and actresses in nollywood are doing very well and they are nollywood ambassadors likewise igbos actors and actresses.If you watch carefully you will notice that 15 yrs ago nollywood was mainly base on igbo culture and lifestyles,even then it was making waves all over the globe,some producers those days dont even use lang interpret in most movies.
Igbos have become a stigma to losers,is easy to point your problem to igbos for your wrong doing and you will easily get support from your fellow losers that suffer from igbophobia 24/7 in nigeria.

hahahahaha Nigeria won african cup they say it was biafran team,nollywood industry was no-where to be found 20yrs ago.When movies like "things fall apart" was making waves world wide,actors ie sam loco,okonkwo an influential clan from umuofia.This is how the world at large gradually learn that igbo people never had any king,they have chiefs,nze na ozos and noble men that represent each constituency during a town meeting.White man learned that igbos practice kind of parliamentary system of democracy,kings and queens where introduced to penetrate igbo ideology by (WHITE COLONIALIST)i believe is the only way to penetrate igbo ideas and culture.

My gladly advice to (Halima) retract that statement and tell urself the truth,their is no way producers,marketers,cameramen etc will ignore you if you are talented!and you will fetch more sales for them and they choose not to put u in the scene,this days is about merit not tribe...

With int airport in enugu igbos are good to go and trust ndi-igbo,in few yrs time they will develop the airport surroundings like no 2Morrow. This one na another ticket for investment rush.

babyosisi: Chimamanda says there that she grew up in a house Achebe had lived in
Wow

she admire's prof achebe so much even from her tune of voice.She is deeply into achebe philosophy...
