They're obviously not good managers. People that has owambe and Jaye-Jaye attitude to life can't possibly be good managers. It becomes worse when such a person or people are giving big businesses and companies to manage at short notice.

It will definitely go downhill and that's what happened when Awo handed them all those companies on a platter of gold.

How can you give such person loan and still ask him to use the same loan to buy huge companies he obviously can't run efficiently?

Remember that Nigeria was at par with many of the Asian countries then. After that Indignization decree of 1972, the foundation of our economy was destroyed and we never recovered from it because it was structural. On the other hand, most of those Asian countries are economic Giants today.

what do you even understand by the indigenization decree. Many of you just go on shouting about things you know nothing about. Twisting facts.Bringing up stories to suit your narratives.Since independence there As been a clamour for the shit in ownership of economic power from the colonialists to Nigerians.Despite been freed Nigeria was still economically colonized.Go back an read your history proper.

NEPC 1972. NEPC decree of 1972 was a legislation to effect changes in the ownership structure of light industries such as retail and small scale businesses. ... A new bank, the Nigerian bank of Commerce and Industry came into existence to facilitate loans to Nigerians for the purpose of investing in foreign owned firms.
Even the Government full implementation of the law was more pronounced during obasanjos era as head of state. You can check the New York times take on the issue https://www.nytimes.com/1976/10/30/archives/nigerias-indigenization-policy-under-fire.html
During this time it was not only Nigeria that was involved in this process.Many freed african countries had their own from outright nationalization to indigenization.Nigeria chooses that part because it believed 40% ownership was fair to the Foreigner.even today many of you shouting are the first to ask for control in your own local domain.it takes various toga like resource control. It's same. Re writing history to suit your lies is a waste of time. During the indigenization period many Nigerians including the easterners jubilated and bought into it. Please I don't need to tell you to stop propagating your lies. The truth is it will fetch you nothing

audio talk meaningless statement.

WATCHOVER:
I think the Oba is partizan,
1. Failure to query Oshiomhole when his thugs attack the governor in Oshiomhole's home town.

2. Failure to query those supporters who booed the PDP and their entourage who came to visit him in his own domain.

3. Failure to call Kabaka to order by letting him know that he should learn to respect elderly people, cause Obaseki is older than Tony Kabaka, and Obaseki is the Head of government and should be respected.

4. Failure to query Oshiomhole who failed to act as a father, who was supposed to be matured.

I can go on and on... Abeg Edo people does not support the Oba.
Oshiomhole was once helped by people, so he helping others is no news.
Obaseki politics aside have been a huge blessing to Edo State.

Edo people distance themselves from the Oba's statement.

shut your thin mouth up. Are you based in edo?. Do you have first hand info like the Oba. The Oba is talking from an informed position. His onogies are every where. Mind you the violence at the palace etc. They know what is happening. Yes thugs of both parties can say what they like,but when someone like Obaseki &shuaibu coming out puplicly to say they are ready to dish it out leaves a lot to be desired

This denial by DSS is the surest evidence and proof that Don Jazzy and Tiwa Savage were invited for questioning by the DSS.

This administration has shown us that denial is the evidence of things done

If you know, you know

if you know you know rubbish.why rejoice or claim all knowing in a story that is clear even to a jss1 student that the write-up was fake news.The so called CP of police has been removed long ago. That alone goes to tell you that you are surely amongst all the fake news peddlers we have on nairaland.

Mayflowa:
You may not be aware of the full facts. Russia are not new to scientific breakthrough. They made AK47 at a time guns were for a single shot. Russia had taken the first vaccine 30 years before American started taken one. Until the vaccine is tried in other places, we all can outrightly condemn it when the world needs up to get away from this pandemic. The good part, Russia will be given other countries to produce the vaccines themselves. The timeline for vaccine production may well be shorten from this knowledge and lesson. Science always grow.

please be informed.you don't have to come online to talk about things you know little about. AK-47 is not the first automatic rifle or multi shot gun. There were many before it.way back in 1900 the cet was first amongst many
check this for your enlightenment
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_rifle

2. Your wrong assertion about vaccines.
The smallpox vaccine was the first vaccine to be developed against a contagious disease. In 1796, the British doctor Edward Jenner demonstrated that an infection with the relatively mild cowpox virus conferred immunity against the deadly smallpox virus.
3. Your claim of Russia helping to shorten the knowledge cycle is also wrong cause there is no pointer to that. If truly they are interested in such part a peer review would have been possible

PerfectlyPerfect:
Russia wont publish that they have a cure when they've not completed testing. I expected the West to do their best to discredit Russia's success and they didn't disappoint.

many already have a cure . however they need to properly test it to ensure that it fit for human use.These is the reason why phase 3clinical trials are very important.please go an check the purpose of phase 3. Over the years some break through are termed lab stuff's ,cause when replicated in the real world or in large scale they tend to fail. Phase 3 gives the opportunity to test you drug or vaccine within a large and diverse genetic populace .,thus ensuring the fit for use of your vaccine.So why skip it?.or rather as it now trying to claim would commence it along with the public vaccinations.Any sense in that?

TheABOMINATION:
When PDP campaign train passed through my street in Ikpoba Okha local government, it was made up of about 7 vehicles, and they moved smoothly until they got to the main road. They shared one carton of noodles to the elderly and one sachet to the youth.

Fast forward to three days later, APC campaign train also passed my street, theirs was made up of about 15 vehicles and they ended up causing holdup for themselves and for motorists as they try to come out to the main road. They also did not give anything to people as they passed by. They most likely embezzled the money given to them to buy something to give out.

The APC guys were asking us whether we like how our street is not tared as though the street was not in existence when Oshiomhole was governor for eight years.

now I see your noodles mind in your stament.You are truly an abomination. Vote for indomie noodles

Na true say Ize Iyamu follow, after all Oshiomole confirmed it

many of you come online to claim holy holy.many of your are worst than cultists in your daily life activities.even if Ize was once involved as claimed by some.It does not negate the fact that he can change an become a better person. That's the power of Christ redeeming blood. No tell me if the other was a saint during is own sojourn in Ibadan or you want to tell me only born again are to be found in the opposite party. Do you even know what it takes to be a student union president f.Ask shuaibu. Many of you are hypocrites .You kill more people with your mouth actions, fraud way of life etc than what some so called people have ever done.
Many of you just have hatred with so much stupidity.Hating a party is different from a person.Many of you shouting Obaseki today hated him with passion some weeks back. He is now the best thing after slice bread.. rubbish

Who approached Diamond bank to finance the deal and why was Lagos state sued?

"Investigations shows that Afikuyomi succeeded in joining the state government with Diamond bank, (a Lagos-based commercial bank), Lone Seed Limited, a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), representing Diamond Capital Ltd; Financial advisers and lead arrangers, M.I.D.C Ltd and the Lagos State Ministry of Tourism under Private Public Partnership (PPP) and acquired the floating hotel at a cost of 22 million Euros.

At present, the Lagos Sunborn Hotel is subject of a lawsuit no. FHC/L/ CS/1099/09 at the Federal High Court, Lagos where Loneseed Nig. Ltd. instituted a legal tussle with the state government for ownership of the Yacht. The dispute in the suit arose essentially from a loan transaction for the acquisition of the Sunborn Yacht Hotel with Diamond Capital & Financial Market Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Diamond Bank Plc, who amongst others are defendants in the counter claim filed in the said suit by MIDC, against Loneseed Nigeria Ltd. As a result of this pending lawsuit, none of the mentioned parties involved in the hotel’s acquisition could make remarks."
https://dailytrust.com/in-lagos-sunborn-yacht-hotel-sinks-further

Until an investigation is done by the Lagos House of Assembly and EFCC we will never get the true story.

Lagos State government did not spend a dime,however they provide government backing and support which included docking space for the ship which was deemed as their own equity.in the purchase of the actual ship ,they never contributed,but in terms of logistics needed in running the business they provided the space for docking ,which is alot in monetary terms.either way Lagos lost some money.

GovsMandate:
[s]Three men now stand between the people of Edo state and a government that is for the people. The fact that all three men have fallen out with each other one time or the other, but are now united in this anti people enterprise leaves you with only one conclusion that the motive is evil as the voice of the people is the voice of God.

The first of the trio, Pastor Osagie Ize Iyamu, as a politician has found himself severally with opportunities to run for any other public office in Edo state up to the Edo South senatorial seat, but there is just something he fell in love with at Osadebey House when he was Lucky Igbinedion’s Chief of Staff and later SSG that made him decide it is either he is governor or nothing else.

The desperation for that job that now aligns him with the man that has maligned him to the heavens is a cause for worry to the average Edo man or woman that he may have come to a personal judgement that the only way he can join the big league is to have access to the resources of Edo state as executive governor.

Afterall only an Edo ostrich or a Benin ostrich in particular will deny that the assets Pastor Ize Iyamu has today ranging from choice properties in Benin to his failed farm were all acquired when he was in government or in control of campaign funds anytime he meandered his way into heading any campaign including his own.

If he says this is a lie let Pastor Ize Iyamu show us how many properties he owned before serving Lucky Igbinedion.  Most of us were born and bred in Benin City and we know from what period of his life people started pointing at Osagie Ize Iyamu’s properties even the one he bought and inherited his older brother as tenant, gave him an eviction notice through the agent only for his brother to find out that his Pastor brother was the new landlord trying to evict him. That is the kind of heart the aspiring governor has.

It is simple logic that if as Chief of Staff and SSG he amassed so much then if he can become executive governor he can finally rub shoulders with the who is who of Edo state as his claim to fame still remains as Lucky Igbinedion’s bag man and political operative who somehow has convinced his followers that he knows how to win elections, a claim the evidence does not support so far. The desperation is scary enough for Edolites to know he does not mean well and can see through his pedestrian platitude filled simple agenda.

Capt. Hosa Okunbo on the other hand can best be described as Pastor Osagie Ize Iyamu’s mugu because whatever the outcome of the elections, the Pastor always has a way of keeping enough money to himself. However, Capt. Hosa is a willing mugu as it is, because people around him have even concluded that there must be something supernatural at play that makes it such an easy job for Ize Iyamu to always convince him that making him a governor will be an easy task.

Although the other theory is that with all the heat and attention Capt. Hosa’s businesses are getting at the federal level, maybe it will not be a bad idea to make Ize Iyamu the governor of Edo state and have a financial back up just in case the federal money dries up. Many have sworn that the first project Ize Iyamu will embark on as governor is to announce a PPP arrangement with Wells Farms owned by Capt. Hosa.

So, all of Capt. Okunbo’s denials and not so deft open secret denials all come down to a business investment buy bank rolling Osagie’s campaign in order to become an economic stakeholder in the affairs of Edo state.

The reason the above is plausible is because the question on everybody’s lips is why is a man described by many as a philanthropist not interested in whether a majority of the people of Edo state are happy with the work Gov. Godwin Obaseki is doing for the state?

You would think since he is a giver, he will be impressed that at last someone has emerged that is doing a good job alleviating the sufferings of the people. But alas Capt. Hosa Okunbo is just like the average guy whose personal interest is paramount to him and does not care if Obaseki has touched a multitude of Edo people as long as he has not done his bidding.

The problem is Obaseki is not in the category of those who have gone to Capt. Hosa for favours so there is nothing to threaten him with. The governor’s independence bothers Capt. Hosa and so for him to achieve his economic takeover of Edo state, Obaseki must go. So, all that story of Obaseki causing damage to his business is a ruse and a ploy to manufacture a reason to turn the people against the governor.

After Rotimi Amaechi disclosed that he was responsible for stopping Capt. Hosa’s SAA contract at the ports you would expect any other person with genuine intentions to apologize to the governor and make up. Of course, that will not happen because there was never a quarrel, but a strategy to cause outrage against Obaseki.

Even if it is true that Obaseki has been bad to Capt. Hosa, what is our business as the larger Edo population? Edo people do not care if Governor Obaseki is a bad man or a good man as long as he is delivering on his promises and making life better for the electorate. Do you think the people living along St. Saviour or Lucky Way care about Capt. Okunbo’s hurt feelings compared to their delight that getting home is no longer a nightmare?

Capt. Hosa Okunbo will have to matter more to all Edolites for him to successfully turn the people against the governor. He is now finding out that he is not as known beyond his immediate Benin circles as his ardent sycophants would make him think.

Adams Oshiomhole needs the APC governorship victory more than the pair of Pastor Osagie Ize Iyamu and Capt. Hosa Okunbo. As earlier stated, win or lose the candidate gets to be a couple hundreds of millions richer while Capt. Hosa at least has the rest of his business to go back to and take time to recover. A loss for APC in this election means the political demise of Adams Oshiomhole and a journey into a state of irrelevance.

What use will he be to a Bola Tinubu’s Presidential ambition or any other aspirant for that matter when he gifted his state to the PDP. No only will his phone stop ringing, many people will block his number. That will be extreme punishment for a man with his kind of boisterous hubris. So when you see him kneeling everywhere, it is not because he is supporting the new leaf Ize Iyamu, it is simply to still have a bragging right and still market himself to the national APC on top of the original reason he fell out with Obaseki in the first place, which is to guarantee that himself and so called party chieftains have access to state funds.

This is one election that has left outsiders confused as they will think APC has three governorship candidates in Edo state going by how the trio have gone about their individual campaigns. So when a Billionaire doesn’t have any qualms throwing his gates open to thugs and low lives thus casting aside his supposed elitism, a low achieving ambitious Pastor stops at nothing even when it is directly antithetical  to the tenets of his religion and then marry this to the survival fight of a drowning politician, it can be nothing but an evil gathering with the welfare of Edo people not even remotely close to the reason for the get together.

All three are already sharing government positions within their camps. Only fictional thoughts will make me picture the coming implosion if, only if, but God will not let it happen anyway.

Unfortunately for these men, Edo people have shown they are wiser and have realised even the rich and popular can be selfish. A performing Governor Obaseki has laid bare this subterfuge and has given the people reasons to question the motives of these men whose opposition to Governor Obaseki are all personal and not based on policy differences. 

Anything that is designed to rob a people of good can only be an evil construct. Edo will stay liberated for those who are with us are more than those against us.

In terms of road infrastructure, Lagos State is in a big mess. Who can tell me the roads this sanwo olu started and is about to finish constructing? Oya tell me Ambode roads that he is about to finish constructing? Most roads in Lagos have been under construction for the past 4 years, what type of madness is this

Why is it always taken the Lagos State government up to 4 years to construct roads? I don't understand

We need good roads in Lagos State, almost all the roads in Lagos is terrible.

Ambode did much roads and completed them.Sanwo is a mess.even the oshodi to abule egba road is Ambode's project almost 95% done. Ambode constructed over 21roads in alimosho axis.you don't need to go through Lagos abeokuta road to get to ota.the road are there. Likewise ojokoro axis.Ambode was the best when it comes to roads. Sanwo is more a social media governor

How do you make a vaccine for a virus that has not been isolated, purified or shown to truly exist and also it takes 5 to 10 years to produce viable vaccine. Still wondering what kind of vaccine that's been produced for COVID-19? We are indeed in strange times..... Be vigilant, not everything about COVID-19 is true.....

you can FasTrack a process , but there are some vital stages you can't skip.These are part of the issue with the Russian claim.

Schrodinger1:
The same conspiracy theory CNN has been promoting. Quite absurd you took all what they said to be veritable. The Russians will never make their whole data public, not at this stage.

that's not true. Do you even understand vaccine development procedure?.see let me tell you many countries would be skeptical using it. How can you claimed you have a vaccine only to now say you would be testing it in couple of weeks on citizens willing to come forth?. Was testing not supposed to come first. Think guy don't be confused with the geopolitical posturing from Russia

In the 1700s, Africans, alongside the rest of the world mostly treat all forms of illnesses with herbs. Fast forward to 300 years later. The rest of the world has made all sorts of technological advancements by investing heavily in research, now they tackle health related problems with it.
Back here in Africa, we still look up to herbs as miracle solution for all illness. If the rest of the world were to be like Africa, almost everyone here would have died of Polio, Influenza, Tetanus, Hepatitis A and B alongside a whole lot of diseases science has solved with vaccines

you are actually correct to an extent. Then issue with herbs is actually the proper understanding of it's constituent composition and how to appropriately use it in right manner and quantity.this fact is lacking on our paths.

paulolee:
finally the vaccine is here, i pray its effective, heard he gat his daughter vaccinated...thats a good way forward unlike some foreign scientist that once said theirs should be tested in African asif we are lab rats..

why not subject it to rigorous phase 3 trials.even the WHO as warned about using it without proper clinical trial.its the Russian choice to go ahead with the use of the vaccine in their own country we should be care not to complicate our own situation by using a vaccine not properly tested. That it was tested on his daughter is not an excuse. The virus as various strains. Of all vaccines approved by WHO for the critical phase 3 testing the Russian's refuse subjecting theirs and evidences for verification.

Tkester:
Watch the west go out on steroids. They will do everything to denigrate this great invention, but will it work? Only time will tell.

I'm happy the Russians achieved this. Kudos Vladimir!!

that's not true. The issue with the Russian vacancine is that proper standard as regards clinicay trials were not properly followed.it was rushed in other for them to claim first. This is a fact even the WHO.is worried about.please check the timeline. The issue and fear is over the next phase of the virus evolution would the so called vaccine help or further worsen the situation we don't know .there are no proper verifiable data as regards the Russian claim. They skipped various stages of trials ,which are very important ones.My point is Africans should be very careful in jumping on these claim.
