CelebritiesRe: Iheoma Nnadi To Take Adenike Balogun, Her Wedding Planner To Court by deenee: 4:24pm On Jun 01, 2018
Yinkakatty:
Really?! I simply can't understand some people's reasoning, FR! First of all, this isn't the first time she's calling the planner out, so I personally would expect a reasonable person who means well for the bride and her own business to reach out to the bride to apologise for messing up her big day. But no! She clearly stated that she hasn't received an apology and neither has the vendor contacted her since then. She has every right to sue her and call her out anywhere if the planner doesn't want to be reasonable. I pray all of you saying she's foolish for doing this don't meet bad vendors on your big day cos it is painful. Also, this is needed cos she's saving a lot of brides from unnecessary problem. And this is one of the reasons this country isn't moving forward. Y'all condone bad behaviour/attitude from people and pat them at the back because you don't want 'drama'. Continue!
Alot still don't get my point. There are certain standards and basic level agreements that should come with any transaction.

I don't tolerate mediocrity of any kind but again mediocrity will thrive when we refuse to set standards for ourselves. All of what is is doing is medicine after death.

I will ask again were there any per service level agreements with the wedding planner? If yes then she should go ahead and sue for deviation from same.

I am not holding forth for event planners because they can be really nasty and all that but again pre determined service level agreements would have saved her all the hassle of going to rant on social media and waiting for an apology via the same platform when at the same time the wedding planner is posting happy pictures of her wedding allover social media.

I have a tailor who sews very well but is a king of disappointment. Any time I want to give him clothes, I get him to draft a simple agreement and we spell out rules of engagement and dude has never disappointed me since them.

Same also at a wedding three weeks ago people had hand tags to gain access to the venue and some uninvited guests came to the venue claiming to know the couple. The security men at the entrance refused to allow them enter even when the couple came out to take the uninvited guests in. The security maintained thier ground and said thier oga in the office gave them the directive and that is what they will follow. The guests only gained entrance when they wore the hand tags and with clearance from the oga who wasn't at the wedding anyway. After the wedding the couple wanted to cause trouble for the security outfit claiming emotional embarrassment but the security outfit won't have any of this and simply brought out the terms of engagement top of which was that only guests with hand tags would be allowed access to the wedding. Again I will ask did she have any service level agreements for the the wedding planner of yes then she should sue and I will even support her

I didn't attend the wedding but people that did said that she kept changing the narrative ( venue decor table decor etc ) even up until last minute and yet expects the planner to peform magic. She had her close friends and family trying to add thier creative ingenuity to the event which is akin to like too many chefs trying to cook a broth.

Same event planner that has been organizing events for big corporates like dangote MTN zenith gtb for donkey years and they have never had issues with her.

Same person also planned the Lagos bit of dangote daugther's wedding wherein there was a private isreali security firm was on ground for the guests attending and recently planned his 60th birthday bash where I hear people had to be thumb printed to gain access

Well since she is looking for apologies on social media I will say this on behalf of the wedding planner.

"Iyawo Emenike abeg no vex na the hand work of devil and village people of the wedding planner cause am"

BEST WIFE EVER!!!! Beauty plus brains plus brave - this is the same way she will defend and fight for the rights of her children and husband. 

Correct woman, not the liability slay queens everywhere, empty brains that cannot add any value to a man's life, always looking for what to grab, think their puss is golden and writing dumb posts above. No wonder she is the one getting married and you are there single and posting your lonely rubbish nonsense online. Mtcheeeew, smh.

I ENVY THAT YOUNG MAN, Emenike you got yourself one of the best remaining Nigerian women and you better support her.
Beauty relative. Brains hell no. What is her claim to fame? Been a former beauty queen for a pagent that we all know that the organizers sleep with the models to score them high. I really can't find anything that she has done beyond this and maybe marrying a footballer with a dwindling career

Just shut up already

If she likes let her plan Bill Gates 70th year doesn't change the fact that she's a terrible and unprofessional event planner with poor ethics, very disrespectful and rude.

I'm sure you're one of the workers trying to defend that fraud. Someone paid millions for a job, you messed up her job, unapologetic and no remorse and you we're expecting the bride not to complain. Go and tell adenike that she will be sued and made to pay for unprofessional conducts/serivice and dameges

Nonsense
Worker I laugh. Pls go through my profile.

If the lady in question has an issue with her wedding planner why not pick up her phone call and invite the the wedding planner for a meeting. Why rant on social media?

Again were there service level agreements with the wedding planner? If no what exactly is she going to sue for?

Did anybody die from food poisoning at the wedding or did armed robbers steal anything from the venue or is it that
Food didn't round or what?

We need to understand what she will sue for and how she will substantiate her claim in court.

Again she is married now so she should enjoy her honey moon and pray for husband's dwindling football career. I mean you give a job to someone and the person does not meet expectations and the next thing is to rant on social media while the person is basking in the he euphoria of a well done and ignoring your rant.


On a lighter note inbox me your account details let me send TGIF money to you because you sound like you need it. Worker ko usher ni
CelebritiesRe: Iheoma Nnadi To Take Adenike Balogun, Her Wedding Planner To Court by deenee: 11:58pm On May 31, 2018
Few questions why didn't she sign a performance contract of some kind?

The wedding planner is one of the best in Lagos and has organized weddings for alot of rich and influencial people even up to abuja and kano. She was even the one that planned dangote's 60th birthday bash and her corporate clients include MTN, zenith, gtb etc

There is another part of this whole story that we need to listen too which is from the wedding planner.

I heard from a realiable source that she didn't allow the wedding planner do the job she was paid to do and that emenike's wife and her family members kept trying to change the script. The wedding planner sensing this did her best and left the rest afterall she has been paid upfront.

Now question is this why hire a wedding planner when you know you wont allow them do their job professionally?

Ok the flip side the wedding no matter how bad it turned out is an event that will fizzle with time. This same time last week it was prince Harry and Megan all over social media now nobody is talking about them again.

Or maybe this show of shame on social media is her own weird way of ensuring that her marriage continues to trend. You will be amazed at the kind of stuff people do to trend these days. I mean I didn't even know who she was until I stumbled on this thread.

She should focus on her marriage at this point.

Accordign to IMF Nigeria’s economy is still exiting a painful recession as of March 2018, but policy implementation needs to move quickly and comprehensively to facilitate economic recovery and help the country reap its longer-term potential, says the IMF in its latest economic health check of sub-Saharan Africa’s largest economy.

Growth in Nigeria recovered to 0.8 percent in 2017 after a historic collapse in oil prices—exacerbated by falling oil production and inadequate policies—took a major toll on the economy (chart). The recent rise in oil prices is supporting the recovery, but more needs to be done to reduce unemployment and address poverty.

Please tell me how prices of assets will hit the rock in 2017 during the recession when about 50% of companies closed up and investors pulled out and still during the same recession bounce to the top while the entire country only recovered at 0.8% only. What economic theory is that? What economic lie can you tell me to prove 233% increase of a company depending on 0.8% national growth.
oga! take am small small abeg. I no that you are a pundit but we need to pound it together.

We blame Buhari becos he is our president. Obama came to power when the US economy was crashing. he bailed out companies and regained americans dominance in the world market.

Buhari is the president who said that he would fix it. many other countries thrived under the fall of oil price. we are not the only country depending on oil. why were we the only country to fall and collapse in recession?

let us give u the benefit of the doubt. the oil prices have gone up to $80 per barrel and are we still making such lame excuses? other economies have bounced back and moving on. Are we still blaming the fall of oil price?

during goodluck it went from 59 to 62 then briefly picked above 100 but not for long. only in June 2014. Oil price has been how it is today. and it is still peaking now that this government is in power. but since it peaked what has been the achievements?
You need decongest your mind from this whole we must blame our president for the situation of things in the country.

Secondly don't compare america and nigeria.it is like mixing apples and oranges. US is a developed nation Naija is an emerging one so Marco economoc features will differ whether in a recession or boom period.

Thirdly Naija is import dependent and most companies prefer to import repack and sell. Yes alot of businesses closed down esp those that depend on dollar for importation.

However those that source local are doing well. Even big coys like .NB Nestle etc are sourcing locally. Never believe the IMF mumbo jumbo charade. As usual all thier forecasts are never accurate and it's clear that they are pursuing an imperialist agenda.

Interesting lie
233% increase in a year. I do not understand. Nigeria was declared to be in recession in 2016 and 2017. And in these years a company gained 233% than the previous years that we were not in recession. That is unclear to me o. How come?? During this period we heard that our government was pumping millions of dollars into the economy and that would definitely choke our naira. So how come a company gained 233% during this period when their gain would have come from investors patronizing the naira? During a period when 50% of small-scale investors closed up their businesses. during a time when naira was crashing and sinking like titanic.

they said that their success came from their performance to better economic macro story, the Investors’ and Exporters’ FX Window, our sound corporate governance model, focus on implementing strategic initiatives, skilled workforce and technology,”.
This is strange to me. Are they adding up the cash that monkey and snake swallowed to make up the financial growth? nothing ceases to surprise me anymore.

even dangote and all our billionaires have been falling down the forbes ranking loosing billions of dollars. and these people are growing 233%.
The best time to invest is when an economy is a in recession. This is the period when prices of assets are trading at rock bottom prices. A good example is stock prices in 2017 compared to now especially for companies with strong fundementals.

While we were all blaming buhari and APC for the recession which was largely driven by fall in oil prices linked to increased production of shale oil in the US and glut in the crude oil market, foreign investors with cheap dollars were busy buying assets at rock bottom prices and CSCS cleared alot of these transactions so their supendpous increase in top line revenue despite the recession is very much in place.

Go and ask Japaul for the truth.... They are Nigerians and can manipulate the press to clean up their mess. Milost is looking for enterprise that will agree to abide by the rules of the game not one that will bring in product and then like that king with a very big depot in Lagos, secretly issue another bank account to customers to make payment thereby abandoning their agreement.
I guess it of you guys don know how private equity works.

Nodogragra4me:
Is it due diligence of Milost or the Nigerian companies?

One great secret from your post is that Milost have been trying to gain a foothold here in Nigeria and Ibeto seems like a game already from the story
On both sides, for example they signed a 1 billion dollar deal with unity bank asking them to delist from the Nigerian stock market based on desk top due diligence alone! They also engineering the pump and dump stock trade for japaul oil recently costing Nigerian investors losses amounting to billions of naira.

I suggest you search the internet for news on several botched Nigerian deals from them

Also it's easy to sign commitment documents which is what is has been done in this case but execution which I doubt will happen is the main thing.

As I mentioned earlier let's watch and see.
BusinessRe: Cletus Ibeto Signs Financing Agreement With Milost Global by deenee:
Solstar:
This is a great strategic Foreign Direct Investment that will be beneficial to the growth index of Ibeto asset class on the long term. Equity Partnership with a USA publicly traded corporation is a win-win standard for Emerging Markets unlike Dangote's foray into the global stock market as a local brand from a third world country. There are no assurances on such ventures irrespective of business acumen as major players will erode every progress made. Every grounded investor with the understanding of international play knows the underlying fundamentals. I have mostly questioned Dangote's understanding of global business terrain when it comes to Wall Street.

On the growth curve, corporations from emerging markets must loose irrespective of the financial mechanics of the rampaging bull or bear coming out of hybernation if any one follows Dangote's template.

Regarding Ibeto, this is the first time I have seen a Nigerian business make a strategic win-win move. I just hope the deal structure is based on convertible bonds to ensure Long Term capacity building and profiteering.

I give this a thumps up.
As usual you have used alot of big grammar with plenty financial terms that are incoherent and mean nothing but will of course brain wash a lay man.

Tell me how covertible bonds, long term capacity building and profiteering(which has a negative conotation)all fit into one sentence.


Back to the matter, for those who follow news well, Milost has been in the new recently for all shades of bad!

They tried to invest in japaul oil, unity bank and even resort savings but the transactions didn't scale through as there were issues around due diligence bordering on the investor. Some even say that Milost is a conduit pipe for money laundering just as they have said same for the online trading platforms like jumia and konga

I don't have much details about the deal yet but let watch and see as events unfold

He didn't exploit kiss Daniel or whatever his name is now!

We need to stop been sensational with news.

Kiss Daniel has two houses one in lekki and one in ABK and four cars all of which he got while he was still with the record label. The 30k salary was his fixed feeding allowance when they first signed him in addition to an annual fixed sum for clothing, free 3bedroom apartment in ogudu and then later lekki and free car which they changed for him after two years.or is it from the 30k that he bought all the clothes he was wearing, the houses and the cars?

And he got all of these even before woju his chart toping single was released.

What about his album launch that cost the label about 50m to organize?

PoliticsRe: AMCON Takes Possession Of Asset Of Nigerian Senator, Stella Oduah by deenee: 8:18am On May 19, 2018
sean1000x:
AMCON was setup to take over Igbo businesses. Otedola, Dangote, Adenuga all owe billions of dollars but it's only Igbo businesses they target their assets...Ifeanyi Ubah, Nwankwu Kanu, Stella Oduah, more. Cocharis, Ibeto and Innoson are next. As I right now, they are plotting with that Afonja bank to confiscate Nextsoil skyscraper in Lagos. They conniving with banks to carry out their evil on Igbos, just like Innoson case where the bank criminally inflated their loans, then turn around to ask court to freeze Innoson goods and assets, with hope of ultimately involving AMCON. Igbo business men and women have no clue the amount of evil these people have for them.

Afonjas above and below are already happy. They enjoy to see Igbos in pain and misfortune. To them that's the only way to stop Igbo since they cannot compete with the chosen children of God.
All business thrive on debt. The problem arises when people borrow and refuse to pay back.

Otedola's business assets were also siezed by Amcon and he had to sell alot of his personal assets to repay including his private jet and second yatch.

Dangote obligations are up to date, same for adenuga. Jimoh Ibrahim is in the same boat with your fellow igbo brothers and is facing th same fate as them.


If you are following the story well without bias, you will know that they have been trying to get her to pay down since 2012 which is like 6 years from today and she has refused yet the business is still a going concern expanding and acquring trading assets all over the country. She even has two tank farms that are still functional. Imagine that she was paying down 2b per year since 2012 she would have paid like 12b now but she just refused. Even the benefits from her senator work in quote can materially cover the repayments


Pls don't whip up any tribal sentiments here. Ifeanyi uba came to the capital market in 2006-2007 to raise about 50b for capital oil and gas. The ipo was over subscribed and he raised about 75b, got listed on the NSE when Ndi Okereke was MD of NSE (fellow igbo sister) and has only published annual reports like three times since his listing in 2009. Now tell me what did he do with the money raised from public investors like you and i. Yet he wants to bcome gov of a state,same with stella oduah

What then will you say about this independent opinion which I just stumbled across:


"There is massive corruption in the Federal government's Bank of Industry (BoI). The fraud runs into billions of naira. The Bank not only trades with cheap government funds meant to support industries and industrial development in Nigeria, it is also defrauding Nigerian industrialists of their hard earned earnings.
If in doubt, the federal government should direct its public service monitoring agency, the Servicom, to ask for a comprehensive listing of all loan applications approved by the BoI and see what percentage of the supposed loan approvals for industries, were ever disbursed within even six months. It should be noted that these are businesses which are qualified and have been duly adjudged, so by the Bank, which goes ahead to collect as much as 14% of the approved loans in upfront cash, but never disburses for as long as two years, without any reasons.
What is worse, is that apart from funds from the federal government through the Central Bank, the BoI is also collecting billions of naira from state governments across the country, for partnership funding for business expansion for small-scale industries in the states and for years, not a dime of such funds are disbursed to any intended beneficiary. The pertinent question may be, who is benefiting from the difference between the five to 10% supposed interest rates to SMEs and the 25% to 35% interest rate commercial Banks are apparently rationing out the funds meant for long term investments for hundreds of businesses, as massive short term loans, to a handful of traders and importers of finished goods.
As a result of this large scale development banking fraud, the economic recovery projections of the government will always be wide off mark. Virtually all federal government ministries and the government's economic indices monitoring agencies, will be basing their economic growth projections on funds already given to the BoI, without knowing that such funds are never released to intended beneficiaries for years.
There are reasons to believe the Central Bank is probably complicit in this evil. The government will be shocked at what will be discovered if it opens up a web portal for example, for disappointed Nigerian businesses, to forward proof of BoI's failure. Such disappointed small, medium or large-scale industrialists should be asked to also detail how much they have paid into special BoI accounts for years, without getting any loans. Yet a chunk of the payments BoI collects from loan-seeking industrialists are non-refundable. The refundable part of the deposits the BoI is fraudulently collecting, are refunded after upwards of two years at less than 10% interest per annum, when even Bank to Bank lending in Nigeria, is at almost 20% for onward lending to end users at as high as 35%.
To be fair, this fraudulent way has probably been the way the BoI had always being doing business. That much is obvious when it is realised that the bank, despite its very low customer base, the Bank had always been competing with major commercial banks in the profits it has been declaring for the past several years."

Or do you now expect him to go back to commercial banks to borrow working capital at an ungodly 25% to 30% interest rate? That is how you people kill SMEs in this country, with your lip service! sad
You can't find any business with debt only. In this case debt should go into asset finance since it is interest bearing and owner's equity for other aspects of the business.

Is the op saying that he does not have equity and expecting boi t find the business and bear the risk alone.


I don't know why people talk like this

Thank you very much

While I have no plans as of this moment to take legal action, I plan to share my experience on every platform and hope Nigerians broadcast it until everyone knows what fraud BOI and by extension the federal government of Nigeria is.
While I understand your grievance trying to give boi a bad name and by extension the fgn won't solve the issue. Bt if that is the route you want to take then all the best after all you are the one trying to build a business and it won't be advisable to tarnish your business name by trying to fight them . It's a battle you can't win either in real life or no social media. Rather I suggest you do your proper due diligence next time before applying for any loan and ask for a checklist of the requirements and make sure you have everything on hand before you apply. Again I am not holding fort for boi but I know of countless people and small business owners who have applied for loans from the same boi, got the loans without paying a single bribe or even knowing anybody at boi and yeah there is no way they will disburse if you don't sort out the collateral/ security for the loan because they are not a charity organization.

U should read his posts (2 of them) again but slowly this time taking note of these things you mentioned.
I have read both and even the comments from others and this is my final conclusion. The op didn't do his own due diligence before applying for the loan because everything he has complained about is on the boi website. They have stated it clearly that they won't give direct cash but rather pay directly to suppliers and the fees he is complaining about are also clearly stated on their website so it funny that he is complaining about it.

So in effect your company is a middle man organization?
Is this legal? Or permissible?
In Nigeria an agency that is structured to deal directly with the public using middle men only means CORRUPTION!!!!
You are promoting the things that are dragging us back as a people.
Without doubt your company is going to get a big slice of the money the entrepreneur requires to run the business. Little wonder why they will eventually default.
Pls go to the boi website and read it very well. Yes what he does as bdsp is very much legal and names of approved bdsp is on the boi website.

Even cbn works with bdsp on thirty anchor borrowers and cbn. Msme programs for appraisal and post monitoring and evaluation.

Jeez people don't even read again at all.

There is nothing wrong with the conditions. Seriously were you expecting them to disburse cash to you?

There have been cases on the past where cash is disburse directly and people just divert and recovering those finds is an issue also the two month deadline is required because the fund is a revolving fund meaning that people are expected to use the funds and return it for others to access. Imagine that there is no deadline to utilizations so everybody that has loans can use as they like and then what will happen to the new borrowers

And to be fair is the same terms and conditions that they apply to all and sundry

I think you should sort out your business needs first and credit documentation before approaching the bank because what most do is hear the boi is giving loans and they rush and apply without doing the required due diligence.

Am not holding fort for boi but I know alot of people have gotten loans from them a d have good news to say about them just as you have a bitter experience

All the best.

[quote author=MhizAJ post=65360172]It's not easy seeing your man flirting and impregnating other ladies

God knows i can't take such from any man or better still such randy men shouldn't come my way [/quote


Did I just hear you say her man? Seriously? She had premarital sex with Wizkid just like all other baby Mamas did and to think that she did it even Wizkid was in another relationship that was publicised. I don't feel any pity for her she got served and as they say karma does not forget an address. I mean why didn't Tania and the other chic whom he used in the holla at your video become baby Mamas even when they have been know to publicily date wizkid in the past.


She should be happy that he at least caters for the boy and shows up to play father role occasionally. Man ko husband ni
