Mind you i've never been to the US in my life. Why don't i feel anything when the national anthem of Nigeria is being played? Even the South African anthem moves me.

Idokojimmy: Why is ACN not comfortable with OKUPE? Why do they prefer ABATI? Is it because OKUPE matches them word for word or has more linguistic power? It's getting more interesting. OKUPE must STAY

Another report also speculated that Nigerians can drink a bungalow in a month.

Nigeria has become biggest market for Guinness world-wide overtaking its home country Ireland, to become one of the biggest markets in the world, representing 6.1 per cent of its global income from Nigeria.

Diageo, the companies parent company made this disclosure in UK, while announcing plans for restructuring its Irish Guinness business, which it said, could include closing most of its historic brewing site in Dublin.

Meanwhile, industry watchers have said, the recent result, might not be unconnected with the drinks group struggling with falling sales of Guinness in Ireland and the UK in recent years, due to the contagion in Europe.

Paul Walsh, Diageo’s chief executive, has said the stout’s future lies outside Ireland and Britain.

Guinness has been made for nearly 250 years at the St James’s Gate brewery in Dublin, but rising property values have led Diageo to consider selling the site.

Estimates put a value of up to €1bn (£787m) on the 56-acre Dublin site on the south quays of the river Liffey. The Dublin brewery produces some 500m litres of the stout every year, half of which is exported.

Diageo may build a new brewery on a site at Balbriggan, north of Dublin, while keeping some activity at St James’s Gate as a tourist attraction.

Diageo on Thursday said in a trading update that its sales were in line with expectations, with organic sales rising 7 per cent in the nine months to March 31. The company is sticking with its previous guidance of 9 per cent growth in full-year operating profits for the year to June 30.

Analysts said the guidance showed Diageo remains confident of withstanding a downturn in consumer spending in the US, the world’s biggest spirits market. Diageo, makers of Johnnie walker, Smirnoff, and Amstell Malta operates in over 40 countries across Africa through various business models.

Meanwhile Guinness Nigeria, closed N242 at the close of market activities on Monday.

doctokwus: Kuforiji shd be hounded& put in prison where he belongs,but chief Okupe,u dodged d crux of d matter:did u collect N200m frm d Benue state govt for a contract u ddnt execute?

Huh?

Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe, yesterday refuted allegations by the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) that he is being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In a statement in Abuja yesterday, Okupe’s spokesman Sanya Awosan, said Okupe was not in any way being investigated for any alleged unwholesome acts while executing a contract in Benue State.

ACN had in a statement Monday by its spokesman Lai Mohammed alleged that Okupe was on the list of those being investigated by the anti-corruption body over  a contract running into hundreds of millions of naira.

He alleged that Okupe bolted with the over N200 million mobilization money paid to him by the state government.

But Awosan said:  “Checks reveal that the whole brouhaha was a calculated attempt to malign the presidential spokesman whose mandate among others is to properly propagate the programs, achievements and policies of the administration.

“Mohammed had called for the resignation of Okupe, but it is hypocritical of the Action Congress to latch onto allegations published online and ignore the huge fraud allegedly perpetrated by the Speaker of the AC led Lagos House of Assembly, Adeyemi Sabitu Ikuforiji.

“The office of the SSA maintained that the root of the attack could be traced to Ogun State where the Action Congress is jittery of the perceived ambition of Okupe to be the next Governor of Ogun State.”

Creating a state police force will threaten democracy as it will be abused by governors and will lead to emergence of ethnic militias, retired Inspectors-General of Police told President Jonathan in Abuja yesterday.
The former security chiefs, under the aegis of the Forum of Retired Inspectors-General of Police, met the president to brainstorm on the nation’s security challenges, where they presented a position paper to him.

One of the forum’s leaders, Alhaji Gambo Jimeta, disclosed the group’s position to journalists at the State House, saying that the ex-IGPs were disturbed by the calls for the setting up of state police.

The forum said “putting into consideration the political climate operating in our country, a state police would only be a tool in the hands of political leaders at state levels.”

The issue of state police became controversial recently when the Northern governors issued a communique opposing it, weeks after the Nigerian Governors Forum of which they are members resolved to agitate for its creation.

“We are of the opinion that the clamour is not in the interest of this nascent democracy,” the ex-IGPs said.

“It will be recalled that the military attempted introducing the localisation of police officers in their states of origin and the exercise boomeranged and failed.

“The establishment of state police will bring us back to the days of ethnic militias where the OPC, MASSOB, Egbesu, ECOMOG and Yankalare held sway.”

The ex-IGPs’ position was signed by former Inspectors General Muhammadu Dikko Yusuf, Sunday Adewusi, Gambo Jimeta, Aliyu Atta, Ibrahim Coomasie, Musiliu Smith, Tafa Balogun, Sunday Ehindero and Mike Okiro.

Four of the signatories who attended the meeting with Jonathan are Jimeta, Coomasie, Smith and Ehindero.

The forum said developed democracies such as the United Kingdom and the United States of America that operate state and local police are “now tilting towards a more centralised national police in dealing with contemporary challenges like terrorism and cyber crimes.”

It noted that the new trend in crime and criminality required the support and collaboration of all.

The forum recommended that the Nigeria Police, the primary organ charged with the responsibility for the maintenance of internal security, should be well positioned to discharge its constitutional and statutory duties efficiently.

It underscored the need for fiscal autonomy for the police and an increase in funding of the institution, and urged the government to address the difficulties in accessing retirement benefits by ex-officers as well as mismanagement of the police pension scheme.

The forum said that government should re-invigorate the intelligence/investigative arm of the police force to enable it to cope with the current challenges.

The retired police bosses said they were opposed to the scrapping of the Ministry of Police Affairs but called for the outlining of a distinct function for it.

“The police are directly under the President or the Prime Minister then, with his busy schedule, the Prime Minister or President will not have enough time to attend to the day to day issues that are arising on police issues,” the forum said.

“During the parliamentary days, there was somebody who is not the prime minister who answers questions on police affairs, so a minister of state was created in the prime minister’s office to ensure that he conducts the political aspects related to the police.”

Smart a*se in his mind.

Yeah I know that. Tell me something I don't know.

No bombing pls.

HammedSodiqq: I will adopt GEJ's Tranformation Agenda. With it, a near perfect society can emerge.

Good point but BH has taken over the transformation. Now they are the talk of the town.

Where specifically do they want to raze? The whole maiduguri?or where?

Kobojunkie: Again . . . I am clear in what I said. . . what are you going to do to the [b]prominent[/b]Nigerians? Arrest them??

I don't know what you mean by 'pay the administration'. But the fact is Nigerians already ELECTED those to SOLVE THE PROBLEM, and we are pouring Billions of dollars at the ELECTED leaders so they have access to all they need to SOLVE the problem. PROMINENT Nigerians are not paid by Nigerians to solve anything so they are just that, PROMINENT NIGERIANS.
If the Government wants them to come solve the problem, then the Government should, using it's resources, reach out to these people for help. Other than that, I see no reason why people like you or I should make SOLUTION BRINGERS out of ordinary civilians just because we have chosen to tag the word "PROMINENT" to the end of their names.

your opinion is interesting.

Kobojunkie: And if he is hoarding it, what will you do? Arrest him?

Why is it that people think this administration is devoid of ideas and Nigerians now need to proffer solutions to most every problem they already pay the administration to come up with the best solution, out there, for?

Mr.kobojunkie,are you saying that prominent Nigerians that have suggestions on the way out of BH menace should relax and wait for government to cipher it cos they according to you ''pay the administration''? really?

ok...so you are waking up NPF...Keep it up.

mstcheew! Only God knows what that man has in his stomach for this country... God Bless Nigeria!

Exhilarating!
