Me thinks its a bank in Nigeria.Sounds like their handy work.But like we ve all said,its better if we all can have a plan B.Lets start thinking outside of the box.Nothing is permanent especially with the kind of industry leaders we have.They are very erratic.They just wake up one morning and take decisions.As far as they are concerned,there members of staff are nobody.It does not matter and that is why businesses die in Nigeria.

@natotse
I tell you,thats just the question
Where did we go wrong.
If we had this 45 years ago and with such speed.We should be competing with US and China and the likes.
These men were honourable.All they had was enough for them.
Now what do we have greed and his family members.

When the going was good.
Someone should help me put IBB and his brothers in jail, abegggggggggggggggooooooooooo

Subject: NIGERIAN MILLIONAIRES, 45 YEARS AGO,

This was forwarded by a friend who came across the Time magazine article from 1965. (45 years ago).
Those were the good ol' days when the wealthy in Nigeria actually contributed to the growth and overall prosperity of the society.
Society looked up to these people then because the source of their wealth was clear to all and sundry.
Forty-five years later, looting of the public treasury at the expense of us all, is the primary source of wealth for the "New Rich"
How sad,

Africa: The Nigerian Millionaires


Along with pride in status and problems of self-government, independence for the 31 nations of black Africa means the emergence of black businessmen. A few flourish on cottage industries, that early stage of every economy; some are the opportunistic agents of the colonial companies that formerly ruled them. Now, however, more of Africa's new businessmen are not only university-trained and experienced but surprisingly sophisticated in trade and finance. In Equatorial Africa, it is no longer unusual to see a $200,000 letter of credit emerging from the folds of a native robe. Nowhere is the new African businessman doing better than in Nigeria, black Africa's most populous and most prosperous nation. With a population of 55 million and an economy that grows 4% each year, the number of Nigerian millionaires is growing almost as fast as the country itself.

Peanuts & Petroleum. Even before Britain withdrew five years ago, Nigeria had a flourishing trade, exporting peanuts, cotton, palm kernels and cocoa and importing in exchange manufactured goods, foods and tobacco The first native millionaires made their money by competing with the white man for his trade. Among Nigeria's richest businessmen is Alhaji Sanusi Dantata 46, who buys and ships much of the rich Kano region's peanut crop. Dantata's agents last year bought 84,000 tons from small farmers, paid with traditional handfuls of coin counted out in dusty village squares. Sir Odumegwu Ojukwu 66, knighted shortly before independence, started off by importing dried fish for resale to the nonfishing Nigerians then decided to ship the fish inland himself instead of leaving the job to others. He also amassed the country's largest fleet of "mammy wagons," the trucks that carry Nigerians (including market women, which gives the trucks their name) from place to place.

In today's new Nigeria, businessmen are more likely to succeed by producing new goods or services. Sir Mobolaji Bank-Anthony, 59, known as "The Black Englishman" for his impeccable manners and imperturbable air, began by importing cuckoo clocks and marble statues. He now controls or owns part of ten companies, including a tanker fleet and a charter airline. Emmanuel Akwiwu, 43, earned law degrees at Cambridge; returning home just as Nigeria's oil boom began he organized a company that now has 70 vehicles, hauls oil rigs and supplies for British Petroleum Ltd. Chief Shafi Lawal Edu, 54, who is president of Lagos' chamber of commerce, has built a fleet of eight oil tankers. He owns a silver-blue Rolls-Royce, but usually drives around in a Mercedes—thinks it is less ostentatious.

No Need to Clash.
Many Nigerian businessmen have taken advantage of the novel opportunities that inevitably accompany broadening prosperity. Chief Timothy Adeola Odutola, 63, a onetime farmer, developed a business to produce bicycle tires for the growing army of bikes, has done so well that he is adding a $1,700,000 plant, plans eventually to harvest his own rubber from his 5,000-acre plantation. A former office worker, Ade Tuyo, 63, cast around for a business that would have 'first priority in people's spending" opened a bakery that today has four shops and makes 115 products. The firm's unusual name—De Facto Works Ltd.—was shrewdly chosen by Tuyo to impress Nigerian bankers with the fact that he was seriously in business
Bayo Braithwaite, 36, one of Nigeria's younger businessmen, left a British insurance company to found a firm that would write life insurance on Nigerians which the British underwriters avoided. So successful has Braithwaite been that his African Alliance Insurance Co Ltd occupies a six-story Lagos home office and has 300 bush-beating agents. Braithwaite lives in an elegant house in suburban Ikoyi, where glass and concrete are deliberately intermixed with African folk art to prove that "the two need never clash."

So, it is, too, with Nigerian business. The Nigerians feel that they and their onetime white masters need never clash. "The time is coming," says Timothy Udutola, "when we will produce more than we can consume and we will have to look outside Nigeria for markets" Against that time, Nigeria is seeking joint ventures in Europe and the U.S., has also concluded negotiations for eventual associate membership in the European Common Market. Already it exports more to the Market than to its old master, Britain.

But really looking at this thing again>How are we sure Dokpesi is not been blackmailed by IBB and hence he does not have a choice than to support him.cos nobody in his right senses would support IBB.I ve really been thinking about it,may be he is holding some thing in place for Dokpesi s support.

i care:
chika4real and bluetooth

i guess a man who insults another has understanding- the bible refers to such as scoffers.

hmmmm let me tell u Tunde Bakare is only preparing to have the blood of Ibb on his hands.God sees a conspirator for whatever reason as a murder.

Only God can judge ibb for blood shed why, he made  the soul of those he killed no man can. that explains why David could not kill Saul AND why Joab was punished for killind Abner.

i sound like a preacher , yes to tell u i have understanding than u, becos the issue on this thread is about a pastors 2m rally.

Who needs whose blood.What do we want to do with IBBs blood.I also wonder where you are getting your 'revelations' from.Thats where we Christians mix things up.if we are waiting for when tyranny will end supernaturally,we are waisting our time.God will only give you ideas on how to end it and not send angels.I want you to bet it.If we all sit down and do noting,IBB will win the PDP primaries and become our President and his little finger will be thicker than our fathers waist in this nation,then we ll be back to square one,then we blame God.
Also,please furnish us with scriptural references backing up those your 'conspirator,murder' theory.My friend,leave this thread if you dont have something constructive.And you dont sound like a preacher anything.

l

1stCitizen:
Do you forgive people you are not 100% sure of their culpability in a crime. I am not absolving IBB but what if!, what if!!

Link please.Not just enough to quote somebody and by the way when and where did he support him.All these Pro-IBB boys.I no blame una

You l

i care:
ONLY ONE QUESTION FOR BAKARE - IS HE SPEAKING FOR GOD OR FOR HIMSELF.

i think he should be more concered about winnig the soul of IBB for christ rather than nailing him in a coffin that all is over for him before God.

an activist is different from a pastor they are two parrell things that do not meet.

one of the flesh the other of the spirit.

i doubt it that God can lead a earthly conspiracy against another man, his sins are not enough justification for a rally.

god can deal with IBB himself with the help of tunde bakare.

you lack understanding.I dont know who gave you a system and internet on it.You should be around idiroko doing some other stuffs.Rubbish

Where did he get the money from

Youngichou:
Where did he get the money from

U think everybody is a poor as u

what is IBBs adverts doing on nairaland.Is it that the owners cannot tell goggle the adverts that should appear and the ones that should not.Or may be the money dey plenty.hahahah

He said he would handover after one term.I really doubt this.
He may likely declare himself a life president.

This thread seeks to generate as many opinions as possible on what would happen if this eventually comes to pass.What do you think would happen.Good or bad.Lets use this medium to send our message to the outside world.
Thanks

Won jebi

Am beginning to support calls for every young Nigerian to arise and lets build.
Enough is enough of neo colonialism.
Wherever you are,start the gathering.
Please gather people of like minds together and lets start re-engineering.
I believe in the new NIGERIA

IT IS POSSIBLE.

The FIFA Emergency Committee decided today, 8 October 2010, to provisionally lift the suspension of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). The decision was taken after observing that the situation had taken a positive turn in recent days, with the claimant at the origin of the court actions publicly committing itself to withdrawing its claim, the acting General Secretary of the NFF returning to his post on 5 October 2010 and the issue of the Nigeria League being left totally within the ambit of the NFF.

The suspension has been lifted provisionally until 26 October 2010, after noting that the next hearing before the court is scheduled for 25 October 2010 and that only then can the judge vacate the court orders. However, should the NFF still be embroiled in court actions or any other issue preventing it from working freely on that date, the suspension will be automatically confirmed until all problems have been definitively solved.
