Very Bad Optics.
Bosun ( Yoruba & Male) gets off scott free.
Ruby (Igbo & Female) Punished..

I hope Tinubu doesn't allow this to happen, common naw... Bosun actually did and said far worse, this lady did absolutely nothing but vote her choice.

The optics doesn't look good at all. Let's wait and see what decision Tinubu will take eventually; the buck stops at his table.

liveLongNprospa:
Tinubu is a forgiving politician keh nai make am sack Babatunde Irukera because he supported Osibanjo lowkey.
Someone who was one of the finest civil servants we had😁

It's always funny watching people lie to themselves and seeing that they actually believe it.

airmark:
Maybe Bosun's eyes later cleared as he publicly apologised for his gaffes and pledged his loyalty to Tinubu's government.

I still saw Onwudiwe's posts on Twitter yesterday and we don't even know what they have asked her to do behind the screen to assure of her loyalty to the government and she refused.

One thing is, Tinubu is a forgiving politician, which is good but he needs to be wary of all these 'Rubbies' that may still be loyal to Obi and his pull-Tinubu-down movement.

A lot of if's and maybe's in ur post ; But I understand where u are coming from

GloriousGbola:
The following should be noted on this Ruby onwudiwe matter :

The article originally appeared in western post.ng,which I cannot link to. Westernpost.ng. Appears to be offline.

Googling western post Nigeria also brings up a second link westernpostnigeria.com which is going but is four years old.

Only Premiumtimes and the cable have reported this matter but have tactically stated that the info is from the western post article

None of the major papers have reported this. All other reports are Tinubu pushing for her nomination to go through

The sole source of this report is westernpost.ng

Google Ruby onwudiwe for yourself

No one else appears to have independently reported this. The original report was from westernpost.ng, which appears to be offline at the moment and which does not show any other articles in a Google search

There is no smoke without fire . If somebody reported it, then it means there's already an ongoing decision on that.

If Tinubu ends up pushing for her confirmation and she accepts it, then we would know those moving against her in the presidency bowed to pressure and let her be like Bosun was allowed to apologize and accept his ministerial nomination.

However , if her nomination is withdrawn as reported in the news article , then we know what we know .

It's not as if she will be the first person whose nomination was withdrawn in this government na .

airmark:
Exactly, I have the right to comment on anything of interest. I like exposing frauds, be it footballers or politicians.

Ruby may still have soft spot for Obi and not put her body on the line for the success of Tinubu's government as required.

Emefiele also have impressive professional profile, yet, he brought the country to her knees because of selfish interest.

Tinubu must be very careful as his 4 years may soon clock. Nobody would remember that he appointed Obidients into his government after 4 years with nothing tangible to show.

😂😂😂

What of Bosun Tijani that insulted Tinubu in the past ? Hope u know he got a ministerial nominee despite rubbishing Tinubu's power grabbing philosophy . He had to kowtow before his ministerial nomination was confirmed .

I believe u didn't have internet service to call out Bosun as at that time for being a fraud who has tendency of bringing the country to its knees . Lmao

It's actually a strange trait because you can't study your opponent tactics
White can't make a good coach or a pundit then
Once he retires I guess he will look for other occupation

Lolz . There are so many strange people on this earth o; u won't know until u come across them.

Some people don't even play football because they love the sport ; they play because they know how to play it more than others . They don't attach emotions to playing it. It's not about passion for them, it's just something they know how to do and that's all.

afrodoc2:
Denying your opposition political appointments is one thing, being incompetent and tone-deaf enough to initially offer your opposition the job before then withdrawing the offer is next level comical.

It just screams lack of coordination

airmark:
I don't have any agenda as I still posted yesterday regarding property and business investments.

There are hundreds of Dr Rubys in Nigeria, they should check well and avoid anything affiliated with fraudulent Obidients.

Ur post history on this thread prior to yesterday's discussion says otherwise. But then , it's ur prerogative to comment on any discussion u fancy.

I've never even heard of the Ruby lady prior to her nomination and subsequent withdrawn nomination. Goodluck to those that nominated her and withdrew the nomination.

I think people are making the most out of the Ben white matter; I'm saying this because growing up I know someone who was just like him.

This guy is our contemporary, he attended one of the best private secondary schools in the area and comes to play set in the evenings on a daily basis. I'm yet to see a player who can use both feet effectively like he does. BJ is one guy that will run riot on any defense if you have him as ur attacker; he can shoot with both legs, has ball control technique that rivals Berbatov's with both legs and he can dribble himself out of any tight corner.

BJ like Ben White is not interested in football match he's not playing in. He doesn't even discuss club football like others while waiting for it to get to his set. This is someone who has a very high football iQ , but he just won't discuss football at all. If u draft him into ur team for any football competition, u are sure of making it to at least semi finals due to his attacking threat and football intelligence.

Last I knew the guy graduated with a first class and works with Nigerian Bureau of statistics.

obainojazz:
Air mark will be quiet as usual

He only comments here for one major agenda ; every other thing is secondary .

larride:
Bosun case is a lil different has the guy was recommended by those that have strong Tinubu backing.

I want to believe whoever backed/nominated her no too get strong backing like that. Bosun was rumored to be nominated by Senator Abiru and Yayi, both Abiru and Yayi stood strong for him, that's why even with all the outburst on Twitter and in NASS, nothing happened to his nomination.

You cannot be calling for a govt of national unity and then turn around to do something like this. [/b]It's an embarrassment to the President and govt he leads. [b]It's either a government of national unity or a govt of APC, for APC and APC alone.

Exactly !

Optics matters in a plural society like Nigeria . If as a government u have an image that portrays u as one that don't like to work with opposition , a government that goes after those that worked for the previous govt ( within same party ) , a government that the Fulani/Hausa stock feel left out and a government the masses are groaning under ; omo u will spend most of ur tenure fighting enemies u inadvertently created o.

larride:
The Presidency just dey do nonsense and its embarrassing. The lady has the right to vote for whoever she wants in the first place, that right is guaranteed under the constitution.

She's obviously competent enough to have appointed her in the first place, announce it to the public and then go ahead to withdraw the appointment based on guaranteed right to vote for whoever she wants.

Just yesterday, the President was telling the Governors that its time for Governance and not politics and then go ahead to do this, how will the Governors even take him serious on that?

Simple background and due diligence would've avoided this if they dont want to appoin someone that voted for the opposition (it's not like they havent been appointing oppositions anyways) and save the lady from the unnecessary embarrassment of stepping down her nomination after making it public.

Nonsense.

I checked the lady's LinkedIn and I see she ticks the box of who can actually call " technocrat " in the real sense of it. I believe whoever recommended her in the presidency means well.

Now the fact that her nomination was pushed and then about to be withdrawn shows there are people in the presidency who value politicking more than actually keep the country going .

If Bosun who actually had "not so nice words " for Tinubu in the past got a ministerial job, it leaves less to be desired that forces are working against this woman and they are even doing it when cat has already been let out of the bag.

If na only APC members or supporters they want to get appointed into key government posts , then we can as well conclude that Tinubu's government has failed before it even started .

@ Prospa , Did this lady say more than this on Twitter during the election ? Like did she call Tinubu drug baron or say any other things he may find offensive aside from these tweets ?

I'm asking because of that Bosun Tijani case ni o

iamoyindamola:
why

Because international business partners care about ur reputation in ur local market as their partner . They don't want to be seen as partnering with a business known for human rights abuse and harassment cases .

Theflint1:
I'm sure the man has been asking himself in his quiet moments why it's yet to get to this stage, where he'd administer forgiveness on her the usual Nigerian big man style, with lots of showy peity and enough dismissiveness to show that she's a riffraff not really worth his time.

The Erisco man is clearly out of touch with the times, and he's using his stubborn head to Bleep his business up... Na e lawyer wey wan go front of judge prove now "ki***ling" necessarily means killing, and how a customer that paid for an item doesn't have the right to post their review of said item.

U get.

The man was right to have had her sued, but e supposed don tell police to step down the petition after she don show remorse.

Now the story has been flipped that he's harassing her . Except he wants to continue to operate on the local scene , this story will still hurt his business one way or another

hensben:
And I say are you aware people bet and predicted Newcastle will win the league before the season started. Leicester won the league with low budget players in the midst of Chelsea, city, Liverpool, Arsenal, United and Tottenham. People stake on these mid teams because it’s a game. Mou work with underdogs better although he subsequently don’t have that league consistency anymore probably the condition of the team like united he moved to.

This is all that matters

hensben:
Now you get where I am coming from.

I get where u are coming from, but it is a stretch to say Mourinho will win the league with those guys. U are saying Mourino with Newcastle will leap frog Man city, Loserpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and even Aston Villa who all have good players and respective coaches in good form to win a league ?

I don't see it happening soon at all. They can win a cup competition of few games, but a 38 matches league? I don't think so

If you can settle for lapsed muslim...

One lady bought erisco tomato paste, was not happy with it and did social media post criticising the product. Should not be a big deal. But the owner of erisco foods maybe frustrated by different business challenges took it personally and did a Nigerian big man thing. Got her arrested.


The lady ran to the courts of social media to plead her case. One would have thought oga erisco would have died the matter as it is now in SM and putting him in a bad light, but he is going through with the prosecution.

As a naija matter twitter has raised money for her defense and the case is in court. That is a very very rough summary.

I believe BlueRayDick really followed the story when it first broke.

The erisco guy no try sha.should probably have made a show of inviting her to their factory or something and make his product go viral. But I guess he is not that media savvy.

The man is crude and doesn't know when to switch an "L" to a winning situation. He thinks the lady was sponsored by his competitors to scatter his business reputation and has voiced to crush her and whoever her sponsors are; but he's not being reasonable enough to ask himself the vital question "At what cost "?

He most likely thinks social media people boycotting his brand will have little effect on his business; but he doesn't know the damage the human right abuse tag he's now getting can do to his business.

Just yesterday I saw official amnesty international (Nigeria) page condemning the harassment and human rights abuse on the part of Erisco. The man obviously doesn't know tags like that will rob him of some international business deals. Tomorrow he might think of a big business idea and he needs fund from international finance organizations; the way they will deny him due to this kind issues ehn.....He will be shocked. Those organizations lasan, they follow Nigerian news steady. People that if they just hear there was an incident in ur factory and ur staff are protesting unfair treatment or unfair condition of service, they may stop ur next tranche of funding if u don't resolve the issue sharperly.

I think people like that man should employ a young business person to act as the face of the company while he remains the CEO/Man. Running a big business like that goes beyond wearing ankara suit and trouser up and down on Arise TV

Jodera:
If it's cup(either fa or Carling or even Europa) and would agree that Mou can win it with Newcastle cos they're a very decent side. If that's what Hens.ben had said, I wouldn't even have countered......
....but league win??

That's a whole new stretch and it's not as if Mou Is that same special one

Yeah, I don't see Mourinho with his outdated tactics winning a 38 match EPL season at all.

Happened to friends who were living in a block of flats in Surulere. old landlord with kids who have finished school and have no worries and are sitting out their days. Infact most of us knew each other as we were mostly Unilorin grads. Then the man passed on and his son immediately evicted everyone so he could upgrade the building

No time ,

Jodera:
If Mou couldn't do anything with his type of players at Tottenham, what makes you think he'll do something (as carrying league) with Newcastle?

Most of you can't just stomach the fact that Mou isn't that special as you think he once was.
And you're so always known for making such careless remarks such as the bolded

Funny enough, with the way players like Joelinton, Guimares, Botman,Schar, Burn etc play; I agree that it's a coach like Mourinho that fits them.

I don't know about if he will league with them, but if he should do mistake enter any cup final with that team ehn, whoever their opponent is will just get frustrated and concede the cup to them from the first minute

raumdeuter:
Cool like that means he no need the money, he has no wife who needs the money, no child who needs the money, no friends or developer whispering to him how much he could have been making
Its the equivalent of Bank borrowing you 50m and forgetting to collect it back

This one pass Grace na Victoria

Some people are too good to be true. Even me I was surprised when the person told me.

People that fall into this category are people who are generally good, they have access to funds steady and do not really let whatever their friends or family opinion affect their plan for you.

raumdeuter:
There is a 3rd option of you investing the 40m and lose it from the get go say within 2yr. Shishi you no go see

This 3rd scenario scares people more than anything in this world. Business world is filled with uncertainties even those who have the Best Harvard trained MBAs

The CEO of Nokia or was it Blackberry when the company was folding up said, "We did nothing wrong yet we failed".

That roofing sheet business I am sure has its own corner corner uncertainties. One Emeka, Afolabi or Musa would have invested in it and failed also and if you ask him, he cant point to why he failed. Hindsight is always 20/20

In 2050 your kids will be asking you that dad why didnt you invest in this XYZ land/shares/crypto, if you had put 5m in 2022 you will now have $500bn
but he will forget the millions of other investment who have failed and yielded heart attacks and stroke in those 25yrs

U are right, there's no business that can't fail

iamoyindamola:
Are you sure the landlord is not your inlaw

Another angu!

Make e no be like all this Yoruba radio programme wey dem dey share stories of their listeners.

There was one like that, the man sent in his story and asked for advice. The man travelled abroad but had issues with his papers so he was deported back to naija tho with some cash. Before he arrived , he asked his wife to look for a more conducive apartment they can stay as a family for which he provided cash after which they moved in.

Years down the line, baba was doing well in his business and one thing led to the other , he wanted to meet the landlord to discuss renovations of the building , but his wife only provided the agent number which she claims is the one she pays to yearly. The man met the agent and after probing and probing, the agent gave him phone number of the landlord who turned out to be his father-in-law. The man now met the father-in-law to confront him man-to-man say wetin dey sup?

The father-in-law had no choice but to open up that the wife actually owns the building but cos she knows her husband may not want to live in the house built by her out of pride, she had to use the agent as decoy and the agent deals with the father-in-law who didn't disclose his relationship with his daughter to the agent.

The man is angry with the fact that he has been paying rent to his wife for years . He dey ask for advice for radio programme.

The thing about real estate is that Chances of a total loss is minimal. This man 25yrs ago fit don invest in Société General Bank or even those bank stocks and worth zero now

What business can you confidently say you will meet your capital back 10yrs from now.

U have a point that one may not get back his profit after 10 years, but u will be getting profit in real time while the business remains profitable na.

I think this whole thing is about money allusion we have in this part of the world sha.

I don't know how to explain it , but let's look at it this way.

1. I have 40m and I invest it into let's say selling roofing sheets. Let's say on a monthly basis I make a profit of N1m from my investment which I plough N500k back into the business and I either spend the balance N500k or reinvest it into the business. Let's say in the 10th year there's recession and somehow I lose all my business capital.

2. U have N40m and u bought a land and after 10 years u can sell the land for N100m.

Some people would think u took the wise decision of investing N40m 10 years ago which now fetch u N100m. But what they are ignoring is the fact that for 9 straight years I had access to profit of N12m annually (From the N1m profit per month) which translated to N108m. If the business didn't crash I would still have N40m capital sef plus the N108m.

Remember I was getting my profit in real time, not waiting for 10 years when N40m of yesteryears may even worth more than N100m of today
