Because I don't believe he did not know who his passengers were, I'd say he apparently died because he was stupid.

He was helping thieves escape and had the boldness to stop the journey to ask why their getaway vehicle was being rammed by their pursuers.

Even if he didn't know who they were, I still believe he died because he was stupid.
A wiser person would have sensed the urge to flee on his passengers or noticed the uproar around them.

Another misplaced priority. N5K to 40m out of 200m. Please what can N5k do in this our economy? Less than 30 litres of petrol!

*Adds: It’s a testament to the possibilities in the Nigerian economy

Coca Cola’s plan to invest $1 billion in Nigeria in the next five years testifies to the possibilities in the economy despite challenges, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.

Prof. Osinbajo stated this Monday evening at the 70th anniversary gala of the Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC).

According to the Vice President, “your ongoing investment in the country, which I am told will be in the order of $1billion in the next five years, testifies to your faith in the possibilities of Nigeria.”


“And you can rely on the partnership of the Nigerian government, (and i dare say the Nigerian people too) as you make these great strides,” Prof. Osinbajo assured.

While narrating his personal and family stories about drinking Coke, including how he drank two bottles of Coke a day up until 2017, the Vice President reiterated that the Buhari administration’s commitment to “creating an environment that allows the private sector innovate and thrive remains active and sincere, despite the challenges.

“And we will continue to work with businesses across the broad spectrum of our dynamic economy to ensure that we do this with a clear view of the opportunities and problems of the day.”

Prof. Osinbajo further stated that in the 70 years that the company has operated in Nigeria, it has demonstrated “commitment to the Nigerian people with repeated investments, in the building of production facilities across the country, in creating thousands of jobs but also in your active support of every aspect of our national life, from health to education, from women and youth empowerment to sports. All done with conscious respect for the environment.”

Continuing, Prof. Osinbajo said “I think it is fair to say that the commitment has been met with the enthusiastic patronage of generations of Nigerians; families who have been supported by the stable careers of staff who have grown with the company through the years.”

He explained that “young people who have found successful careers in sports and entertainment inspired by your support; consumers from Lagos to Kano, Rivers to Plateau, linked by distributors in every region of the country, who have built enduring businesses getting Coca Cola into the hands of millions; a robust value chain that includes service providers and marketing agencies, creators of the iconic Coke adverts that have formed part of our individual and collective memories all these years.”

The high point of the event was the presentation of awards to distinguished staff and partners of the company across the country.

On his part, Board Chairman of NBC, Amb. Segun Apata recalled the company’s growth and contribution to the economy and noted that the company will continue in its 70 years tradition of investing in the economy as well as impacting its host communities through several initiatives, especially for the youths.

Nigerian Bottling Company also known as NBC was incorporated in 1951 but started production in 1953 at the basement facilities of the mainland Hotel, owned by Leventis Group, producing Coke licensed by the Coca Cola Company.

The gala night was also attended by the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat.

I thank you father in heaven for the advent of the internet and social media.
Now we know which tribe that does the most money rituals and frauds in Africa.It has been reinforced that the owners of Oluwole the pioneer centre for fraud in the zoo are still leading in that department.
We also know there is a booming human spare parts business where human heads are sold for as cheap as 10k in one region like that.
Father Lord,thank you for giving us d Internet which has also made us know which tribe is actually the most intelligent bookwise in the zoo via WAEC,NECO and JAMB statistics against what we were made to believe by the Lagos-Ibadan express brown envelope journalists.
May your name be glorified Abba Father

hv u relocated before? Hv u experienced bad effect of relocation? Nigeria as whole be it Abuja or Lagos never reach to extent of baning any thing that is source of live hood to some of her citizens, expect illegal businesses

Mrkumareze:
we haven't gotten to this level of destroying properties , would have been better to even auction the bikes..

God1000:
Those are legitimate demands

Jentle244:
A conducive environment for business. As a taxi driver in Nigeria do you know how many touts you will have to settle before loading passengers? Including the one that union collects. After loading, you meet some misfits in police uniform. Of course you will settle them. At the end of the day what is your take home profit? Also consider inflation in the price of foodstuffs etc.




Now, compare it to abroad. Once you are registered as a taxi driver. That is all. Although I believe there is a sort of due or levy they pay there. Consider their economy.


Coupled with the fact that Nigerians are hardworking irrespective of tribe.

Finally, if you as an individual you migrate abroad, after some years you need something to show for it.

You see, creating parks in Nigeria is good but the problem is that the masses are not earning enough to chill out and enjoy. They are always hustling, the few rich and relatively comfortable are the ones enjoying all these parks. (the homeless too )

Well, I told myself if I become president, I would create very large parks where families can come and relax, take photographs and chill out not a gated place, but a large expanse of land with fountains, green area, swings, ice cream stands (like in New York) and bicycle lanes like in Denmark and Sweden.

We know how to enjoy in this country, but the average person is underpaid or unemployed.

One advice, If you are a young person here, and you need to earn online; venture into blogging, vlogging, selling nft, etc. There is money online guys (Not Yahoo please)

NIGERIAN NAVY SIGNS CONTRACT FOR TWO NEW WARSHIPS

The Nigerian Navy today signed a contract with a Turkish company, Messrs Dearsan Shipyard Limited for the purchase of 2 brand new Offshore Patrol Vessels. The 2 vessels are expected to be completed within 37 months.

Speaking at the ceremony, Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo recalled that Nigerian Navy has in the last couple of months brought to bear her dominant status in the region by sustaining an aggressive presence in the nation’s maritime environment, leading to drastic reduction in acts of criminality in the domain.

This development he added has been acknowledged by the International Maritime Bureau (IMB) in its Global Piracy Report of 14 July 2021, indicating the lowest total of piracy and armed attacks against ships in 27 years.

According to the CNS, this report was corroborated by the Defence Web maritime security report of 15 October 2021 which noted further decline in reported cases of piracy and armed attacks against shipping in the Gulf of Guinea (GoG), a development he attributed to the impact of NN maritime security operations efforts.​

Admiral Gambo stated that the contract signing ceremony was another milestone achievement by the Nigerian Navy in her fleet renewal effort towards realizing her 2021-2030 Strategic Plan and expressed gratitude to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari for his continued support and goodwill towards the Nigerian Navy.

The CNS also recalled that on the directive of the President and Commander-in-Chief, the Nigerian Navy hosted the Chief of the Ghana Navy to discuss collaborative efforts to combat piracy and other maritime crimes in the GoG and during the meeting, it was agreed that there was a need to establish a standing ECOWAS Multinational Task Force in the GoG.

Pertinently, to sustain the upwards trajectory of the NN’s operational engagements and actively participate in the proposed Task Force, the CNS informed that the President granted approval for the NN to procure 2 High Endurance Offshore Patrol Vessels with the capability to carry out maritime interdiction operations, surveillance and special forces operations as well as provide naval fire support to land forces. ”The OPVs will also be capable of conducting search and rescue operations, anti-piracy, anti-smuggling and anti-drug trafficking operations and disaster relief operations among others”.

Admiral Gambo further revealed that the process of selecting a shipyard capable of constructing the OPVs began in earnest and Dearsan Shipyard Limited was selected based on its track record and the conviction that the shipyard would be able to construct a platform that could be deployed as an OPV in peacetime, while having the capability and flexibility to be quickly outfitted with sensors and weapons to re-role the platform for warfare and maritime defence purposes, at a cost effective price.

According to him, today was a remarkable day as it marked the consummation of relationship between the NN and Messrs Dearsan which is hoped would lead to more fruitful engagements between Nigeria and Turkey in the future.

While responding, the Chief Executive Officer of Messrs Dearsan Shipyard, Mr Murat Gordi appreciated the Nigerian Navy and the Federal Government for the confidence placed on their company to construct the Offshore Patrol Vessels.

He further assured that the company would reciprocate by building the best in class vessel for the Nigerian Navy and ensure the contract is faithfully executed to deliver true value for money.

Mr Gordi added that this project will further strengthen ties between the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Turkey through the provision of added value in technological transfer and expertise.

The event was graced by principal staff officers of the Naval Headquarters and representatives from Messrs Dearsan Shipyard Limited.

As much as it’s a painful situation, I believe it’s normal protocol anywhere in the world for police to take charge of such locations and allow licensed emergency personnels to work. Sometimes more disasters happen during rescue operations. It’s good that they wanted to help but the police had to do what they did imo.

Tony5050:
To be honest, I see no need for the recent launch of e-naira when the country has lot of security and administrative issues to attend. We live in a country where a president launches what he has no tincture of idea on, just smiling and acting in a remoted sense.

God will help us all..

I totally agree with you. I don't think any Nigerian has any issue with the Naira they are currently spending, except that they don't have enough of it. I can transfer anytime I like from my bank account, so what do I need e-naira for?

Oh well. At least it will help them import containers through the air easier .

So now I can ship stuff from abroad sites like Amazon down there faster instead of going to Lagos ...

LASG should stop lieing, this is just nedia blitz. They, LASG made the portal non-functional, so that travellers have no options than to come to MMIA and pay cash. Nowhere in the world do people pay cash at the aurport for PCR test, except Nigeria. No where else on Earth.
FAAN should investigate the scam. When my wife travelled I processed her payment, but could not print receipt. Fortunately, I made screenshot. When she got to MMIA, they refused to accept phone screenshot. Unkmown to them she also had the printed screenshot. They initially started their shenanigan. So, she called me and I told the officer that if she collects any money I will go public. The next I learnt was that they sent her to VI instead of Ikeja we selected for the test
Nigeria is eternally corrupt. The only country you land and have to pay for trolley. They charge people coming into Bigeria money to use trolley, whereas your ticket already includes airport fee. Thieves!

Abeg go siddon. There is NOTHING WRONG with the toilets in the Uyo stadium.

You went there during a match and you expected what? Clean toilets?

There is no stadium on Earth whose toilets are nice and clean during a game, because tens of thousands of people, many drunk and loutish, are all over the place.

Reflect7:
Stop stereotyping.

It all depends on the arrangements made for the maintenance. Most projects today are done via PPP (Public-Private Partnership), and maintenance clauses are written into the contracts, to protect shareholders' investment, and it works. Numerous examples abound from airports to railway facilities.

Maintenance problems arose in the PAST when projects were 100% govt funded, (eg National Theatre, National Stadium Surulere, MMA etc) and there was no real incentive to maintain projects by using govt funds.

Today, as a result of private sector involvement in projects, the story is different.
