Politics › World Bank Job: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Is "Honoured" by ceomike(op): 12:38pm On Mar 26, 2012
Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has described her nomination by African leaders for the top job of the World Bank as ”an unforgettable honour.”

She also insisted that the opposition of the American government to her nomination would not dampen her spirit.

Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala, who was spoke at the National Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party at the Eagle Square, Abuja, weekend, thanked African leaders for their backing.

She said: “Sincerely, I feel honoured by the decision of African leaders to back me for the job and I believe that the final decision on who occupies the office would be beneficial to the global community.

“It is elating that across the continent, the leaders spoke with one voice, and their gesture is directed at me; I am eternally grateful to them all for their support.”

Asked if she felt her chances of getting the job were being threatened by the U.S- nominee for the job, the minister said the U.S. government’s stance merely confirmed her recognition as the right candidate for the office.

She said: “I am aware of the opposition by the American government, and I can tell you that rather than dampen my spirit, it further strengthens my belief in the fact that my candidature caught the attention of very influential nations, especially the United States of America.

“The most important thing to me here is the recognition by political and renowned academic leaders across the continent for the job, which would further give the continent a better position in global economic matters.“Even if eventually I don’t get the job, I still will feel honoured for being the target of a continental acceptance on a global matter that affects global economic growth.”

Politics › FAAN Terminates Maevis Concession Contract, Goes Manual Check In by ceomike(op): 12:23pm On Mar 26, 2012
FAAN goes "manual check in" as she terminates Maevis Concession Contract.

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has terminated its concession agreement with Maevis Nigeria Ltd and evicted it from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos on Friday.
FAAN alleged it is disadvantaged in the concession thus had to wield the big stick. It also said Maevis turned down all overtures to renegotiate the agreement.



FAAN immediately announced another service provider, Société Internationale de Télécommunications Aéronautiques (SITA) to take over the revenue collection at $1.40 per passenger processed through airports hitherto managed by Maevis.

Managing Director of FAAN, George Uriesi announced this at a press conference in Lagos on Saturday.
Uriesi said: "We acknowledge that the commercial transaction that led to the Maevis concession was sub-optimal for FAAN. We approached this organization several times asking to renegotiate the terms of our agreement.

"This organization refused to accept our renegotiation offer; our board severally approached this organization, pleading with them to come back to the table to renegotiate the terms of the agreement so that it would become a win-win for both parties, the organization refused to do this."
Consequently, he said, FAAN gave the former concessionaire a termination notice on February 24, 2011 which expired May 23, 2011.

"So, on May 23, 2011, the concession agreement between FAAN, and Maevis terminated. This is almost a year ago. It took us a while...we physically terminated it. The immediate consequence of this is significantly increased cash flow for FAAN," Uriesi said.

He stated that the new arrangement is without extra charge or the 35 per cent management fee charged by Maevis.

Uriesi further said that the fate that had befallen Maevis was a signal to other concessionaires with sub-optimal agreements that the "bazaar is over" and that they would be treated the same way to ensure a total transformation of FAAN especially in the areas of commercial agreements and the revenue generating sources and capabilities of the agency so that all its accruable revenues would come into its coffers.

"We are dismantling all sub-optimal concessions with FAAN. People have to do things the way they are done all over the world. From now on, we have to put a template in place for concession. We will put in place criteria for concession. If the agreement will not give us the required benefits, we will not go into it," he said.
However, the Executive Director of Maevis, Tokunbo Fagbemi alleged that FAAN used extra-judicial means to evict it from the airport.

She also alleged that in the process of the forceful eviction, FAAN's aviation security personnel who were armed with cudgels, chain saws and drilling machines vandalised Maevis platform, data centres, biometric-controlled doors and some other assets.

She described FAAN's conduct as shameful and despicable and called on the presidency to "help protect our investment and stop these acts of impunity."

Crime › Australian Woman Scams Nigerian Scammers by ceomike(op): 9:59am On Feb 24, 2012
A 23 years old Aussie woman Sarah Jane Cochrane-Ramsey was employed by some Nigerians as an "agent" in March 2010 but was unaware they were scam artists, the Brisbane District Court heard today.

Her job was to provide an Australian bank account through which they could funnel any payments they received through their dodgy account on a popular car sales website. Cochrane-Ramsey was to keep eight per cent of all money paid into her account and forward the rest to the Nigerian scammers.

However, the court heard that the Brisbane based Aussie women kept the two payments she received - totalling $33,350 and spent most of it on herself. The car buyers who were ripped off reported the matter to police, who traced the account to Cochrane-Ramsey.

Police inquiries found her employers were based in Nigeria but had been using a web server in New York to run their dodgy car sales listings. Cochrane-Ramsey pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated fraud on Thursday.

Judge Terry Martin described her as having a "dishonest bent" after hearing she had a history of stealing and property offences.

He adjourned the sentence to allow her time to provide further details of money she claimed was in a bank account that would allow her to make some repayments. Cochrane-Ramsey will be sentenced next month.

Celebrities › Whitney's Death Linked To Illuminati As A Sacrifice For Beyonce's Child by ceomike(op): 9:04am On Feb 19, 2012
Whitney Houston is the latest victim of a yet another conspiracy theory regarding the Illuminati. Houston’s sudden death on Saturday has caused some to theorize that it was, in fact, murder at the hands of the Illuminati. Some even think this “sacrifice” was made so Beyonce and Jay-Z’s baby, Blue Ivy, could live.

Whitney Houston is the latest victim of a yet another conspiracy theory regarding the Illuminati. Houston’s sudden death on Saturday has caused some to theorize that it was, in fact, murder at the hands of the Illuminati.

Is your head spinning yet?

Blue Ivy Carter is Eulb Yvi

Back on Jan. 7, when Blue Ivy Carter was born, a rumor spread like wildfire that she was actually the spawn of Satan. This theory alleges that Blue Ivy is a reworking of the name Eulb Yvi, which Twitter users and other conspiracy theorists allege is the name of Satan’s daughter, though there has been no evidence to prove such a concept. “Jay-Z & Beyonce named their daughter Ivy Blue, Ivy Blue = Eulb Yvi, which was the name of lucifer’s daughter in Latin!” Twitteruser MrZou posted, perpetuating the story.

Like us on Facebook Another unbacked theory claims that numerology explains an occult or Illuminati connection between Blue Ivy Carter and Satanism. “Ivy (position in alphabet) – I=9 V=22 Y=25 – 2+2+2+5=11 – 11×9=99 – flip 99 round and add another 6 and you get 666 :O #Illuminati,” tweeted @Merkzbeatbox.
Now, Whitney Houston’s death is being linked to both the Illuminati and Blue Ivy Carter.

Vice magazine, known for its satirical wit and caustic editorials, compiled the multiple conspiracy theories surrounding Houston’s death–including numerology, murder and even Madonna.

Conspiracy Theories Surrounding Whitney Houston’s Death

Here are just some paraphrases of the theories laid out in painstaking detail onVice’s Web site:

The occult point to the numerology of Houston’s passing. “Do you think its [sic] ironik [sic] she died in 2012 at the age of 48, 4 + 8 = 12!!! Illuminati like to do these sorts of things as a death ritual as they believe everything has to be done on a certain day,” read one post in Vice’s assemblage.
Some are saying the 11th is an occult date, with other famous people like Bob Marley, Alexander McQueen and Sylvia Plath dying on that day.
Nicki Minaj’s outfit to the 2012 Grammys had a face embroidered on the skirt in black beads. Conspiracy theorists think this was Whitney Houston’s.
Blue Ivy needed a blood sacrifice.
Conspiracy Theories Abound

Conspiracy theories have circulated celebrity deaths since the dawn of time. Some believe Marilyn Monroe was murdered because of her affair with JFK. According to TruTV, Donald Wolfe summed it up as such: ”Marilyn Monroe was in a position to bring down the presidency. She was cognizant of Jack Kennedy’s marital infidelities and other private matters. She had his notes and letters and was privy to Kennedy’s involvement with Sam Giancana. That the Kennedy brothers had discussed national security matters with the film star added to an astonishing array of indiscretions.”

Some believe Elvis Presley did not die, and actually faked his own death; that Princess Diana was murdered because of her relationship with Dodi Fayed; that Jesus married Mary Magdalene; that September 11th was planned; and that the Illuminati exist.

The list of conspiracies goes on and on. Where conspiracy theorists draw the line, particularly regarding the sensitive topic of death and tragedy, is unclear.

Celebslam.com created a list of the 20 craziest Whitney Houston death theories on Twitter. Such notions continue to circulate.

Politics › Igodomidogo Bomb Blast - (grammar Senator)patrick Obahiagbon Latest Interview by ceomike(op): 8:58am On Feb 19, 2012
Patrick had an interview on Vanguard to be published fully tommorro but the grammar in this is plenty

Read on:

What is the meaning of Igodomigodo? So many people would want to know?

Igodomigodo is a political sobriquet I have habilimented or if you like togarise my identity for a period of aeon to emblematize my culturico-spiritual fons et origo. It was an advertent stratagem to cosmopolitanize my genealogical matrix and arcane trajectory since it was not by accident that I originated from the land of Igodomigodo. The interesting thing is that IGODOMIGODO, being the pristine nomenclature of the Bini man, evokes in me the alacritous presence of the invisible “gods” of my progenitors which, by itself, invokes a luxuriation in an ancestral egregore of pristine resurgimento.

(All that he has said here means that he adopted the name Igodomigo to give meaning and pleasure to his belief in his Bini culture. Fons et origo means source or origin)

How did you actually come about the bombast with which you speak?

Well, this question can be answered from a bifurcated fons et origo.

One, I had a singular privilege of having a martinet for a father. My father was, and remains a very strict disciplinarian of puritanical and quixotic predilection. What that meant, my brother, in practical terms was that I never saw the streets of Benin outside my father’s compound after 7p.m., until I became a practising lawyer. I didn’t know how Benin looked like after 7p.m., except of course when I had to go to school.


Patrick Obahiagbon
If you grew up under that type of ambience, you cannot but put your nose to the grindstone. And more germane was the fact that when my father traveled abroad, he brought with him a flyer to the effect that good speakers have ruled the world, and if you want to rule the world, you cannot but be a good speaker. I was very impressionable when he gave me this flyer which he had bought from London and for me who have always had the primus mobile and gravitating force to want to be part and parcel of the political higgi haggar of my milieu, I said to myself that if being a good speaker was the condition sine qua non for ruling the world, then I was going to do everything possible to be a good speaker and that was how I acclimatized myself very voraciously to the Students’ Companion and read all there was to read that came my way. It was indeed a period of mental lucubration and intellectual gymkhana but more fundamentally is the fact that – and I’ve always said this – for most people, the dictionary is a reference point; but, for me, for over 25years now, the dictionary is a vade mecum – constant companion that is.

(Because his father bought him a flyer which says to rule the world you must be a good speaker, he started reading all there was to read with a view to becoming a good speaker because he wanted to influence the politics of his area – that’s all)

How?
I have spent nothing less than an hour on a daily basis on my dictionary for the past twenty five years and this could go from the pedestrian dictionary to the Encyclopedia and even to the Encarta dictionaries.

What purpose do you want to achieve with that? Just to speak, or to confuse people by being bombastic and verbose?

Let me tell you an incident that occurred that I want to bring under focal hiceps and biceps when I had the rare privilege to peregrinate through the green chambers, the House of Representatives, specifically. I’m talking about when I had the opportunity to describe the intended legislative gambadoism of my colleagues as amounting to legislative rascality. You remember I was to be committed to parliamentary seppuku for that idiolect.

Politics › Don’t Sentence Me For Life – Abdulmutallab by ceomike(op): 11:30am On Feb 14, 2012
A lawyer for the Nigerian man who pleaded guilty to trying to blow up a United States jumbo passenger jet on Christmas Day in 2009 urged a federal judge on Monday not to sentence to Farouk Abdulmutallab spend the rest of his life in prison because it was cruel and unusual punishment.

Abdulmutallab, 25, pleaded guilty in a federal court in October 2011 of trying to detonate a bomb hidden in his underwear as part of a plot orchestrated by al Qaeda’s affiliate in Yemen, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

He is due to be sentenced on Thursday in Detroit and faces up to life in prison for the bombing attempt aboard a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit that had 289 people on board.

His lawyer Anthony Chambers argued that the mandatory life sentence required under US law for some of the crimes he admitted to committing was unconstitutional, particularly because no one was seriously hurt during the bombing attempt.

“Given the circumstances and what did NOT occur in the instant matter it is fair to say that the mandatory minimum sentence of life imprisonment is excessive and grossly disproportionate to the conduct,” Chambers said in a court filing, emphasising the word “not.”

While not making a specific request, he requested on Abdulmutallab’s behalf that the judge impose a sentence below the advisory guideline range because a life sentence would be a “misinterpretation of justice.”

Health › Nigeria Records 281,000 Case Of Hiv Annually – Fg (punch) by ceomike(op): 11:19am On Feb 14, 2012
The Federal Government on Monday in Abuja expressed appreciation on the significant progress made in the fight against HIV/AIDS, but declared that the country records 281,000 new infections yearly.

According to the Federal Government, only 400,000 persons living with the disease are receiving drugs out of the 3 million people currently affected. About 1.5 million people are required to be on life saving anti-retroviral drugs.

The Director-General of the National Action Committee on AIDS, Prof. John Idoko, stated this at the zonal consultations on ownership for sustainable HIV response where he also attributed the irregular funding of NACA by donor agencies to global meltdown in the past three years.

He said, “We have seen very significant progress in the fight against HIV and AIDS in Nigeria – more than 25 per cent HIV decline between 2001 and 2009. However, we still have very significant gaps.

“Nigeria has the largest burden of transmission of mother child of HIV in the world – 30 per cent with about 70,000 children born every year with HIV. These children hardly live to see their third birthday without treatment.”

Idoko said much remained to be accomplished if future generations were to live in a world in which the threat of AIDS had been overcome.

He said, “If we are to transform the landscape of AIDS, it must remain high on the national and global agenda.

“We must move to a response that is long-term and sustainable-one that makes full use of the knowledge and resources developed over the past three decades, yet continues and respond to a changing world that is constantly influencing the future of AIDS.”

The NACA boss also called on donor agencies to ensure regular funding of the agency.

He said, “Funding remains largely externally driven and this is unsustainable. Over 80 per cent of our funding for the AIDS response is from donors.”

Politics › Wada Takes Over As Kogi State Governor by ceomike(op): 2:26pm On Jan 31, 2012
Lokoja — BARELY six hours after the acting governor of the Kogi state, Hon. Abdullahi Bello sacked the state executive council, the state governor elect, Captain Idris Wada alongside his deputy governor elect, Arc. Yomi Awoniyi yesterday resumed in their respective offices as the duly elected governor and deputy governor of the state.

On assumption in the office of the state governor, sources informed our correspondent that Captain Wada directed all political appointees of the out-gone governor of the state to ignore the sack order of the acting governor and go about their normal government activities.

Captain Wada and his deputy came into government house around 12 noon escorted by heavily armed policemen and operatives of the State Security Services (SSS) who gave him a safe passage to the office of the governor of the state.

Though, the acting governor, Hon. Abdullahi Bello was not seen in the office of the governor, his close aides informed newsmen that the acting governor is still in Abuja on the invitation of the Vice-President, insisting that their boss is the still the acting governor of the state according to the judgment of the Supreme Court.

The sources said that Captain Wada was acting on the instruction of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) which validated his victory as the governor-elect of Kogi state having won the 3rd December, 2011 Kogi state governorship election and also issued with a certificate of return as the duly elected governor of Kogi state.

Later in a statewide broadcast, Captain Wada pointed out that the Supreme Court judgment as it relates to Kogi state came with its own challenges, adding that, "while we are not eager to carry out a post mortem of those events, they must be seen as teething problems of an emerging democracy.

"I wish to assure all the good people of Kogi state that rather than allow those events to distract us from the our set goals, my deputy and I saw them and tackled them as our first major challenge of leadership in the state.

"Every single step we took was guided by the full consciousness that all this is not about us, it is not about power or our personal ambition or ego; it is about a sacred mandate which all our people gave us to chart the course that will take Kogi state to where it ought to be.

"We therefore earnestly urge all our people to appreciate that no matter which zone we come from and no matter what we profess, we are all part of something greater than us: which is our dear Kogi state.

"I am therefore appealing to all the good people of the state to let us quickly put the events of the last few days behind us and remain focused as a united and indivisible people. Let me remind us that at the end of the day what will count are not the points of conflict, but how strong we came out of it as family".

He then added that government will in a very short period constitute a committee of stakeholders from across the state to reconcile all aggrieved parties in order to ensure that the genuine grievances of any of the parties are not overlooked.
