Amumaigwe:
No Godfather holds sway in SE, so no single foul-mouth is milking the States. However, I am concerned about Lagos State because Igbos have an overwhelming stake in it. Therefore, how Lagos State is governed affects us just like Abia, Enugu states et al would. We owe it a duty to ensure that Tinubu is whittled down in Lagos politics for the resources he is looting to be freed for the development of our home, Lagos. You guys can keep him in the other SW states for all I care.

If you are happy with how you Govern yourselves in your South East state, then allow SW determine how they Govern themselves. It is rude to intrude in other people affairs.
This is human faeces that litters Ogbeite market. Abia state is an eyesore. How you are satisfied with that and now, more concerned about SW politics is something that should be studied in colleges about hypocrisy. Are you smarter than the Igbos in the East that cannot govern themselves properly?
Are you planning to turn SW into what South East is today?

My people says that whoever will borrow one a cloth to wear, you first have to look at what he is wearing.
With all due respect, please go and fix Abia and other SE states before you tell us who should govern us in SW.
The last time I checked, buses are still dropping people at different SW states, while they go back empty to bring in more people.
Iwotago?

Amumaigwe:
See this lying Tinubu lackey. You must be an ignominous liar or a just a naive Tinubu apoologist if you claim not to be aware that Tinubu's Alphabeta milks APC states in the South an outrageous 20% of their IGR as his collection fees. They are in all APC states in the South including Edo state. Make inquiries and agree that Tinubu is just another greedy rent-taking politician that means no good for the Yorubas. Are you not aware why he ditched Ambode for Sanwo -Olu? Excuse me pls

Amumaigwe, please can you go and discuss Enugu or Abia state politics? Why is Tinubu giving you headache? Charity they say begins at home. Please this is a family matter / discussion. If Tinubu is milking SW states, who is milking Abia, Enugu or Anambra state? Are your south east states developed? Dont you come in drove into the same south west to earn a living? Why are you constituting a nuisance?
Everybody has been having a civil discussion but you butt into the conversation with abuses / insults. That is how you know people who wakes their parents with a kick every morning. Lack of home training. Can't you see the difference?

funmike83:
Is it not the same rogue you went to beg to join hands with you so APC can win in Oyo? APC is made of different rogues. The only clean person there is Buhari who I am not too sure sef

The thing is that you should put APC achievement side by side with PDP. It goes beyond individuals. There is something about PDP that makes their candidates not to perform. What matters to us is achievement while in Office. PDP represents failure and we cannot afford that in Oyo State.

allisso:
I swear if Makinde enter and behave PDPcally I will turn against him too
all I care for is good governance and I give that to tinubu but he just have to always let the people also make their choices in some cases that's all I'm saying

Thanks bro. I appreciate your passion and sincerity. But do you think we should experiment with Makinde PDPically? 4 Years experiment? Can we really afford that in Oyo State? I think it is important that we consolidate on whatever achievements we have under APC/ Ajimobi rather than go experiment PDPically. Like I mentioned earlier, there is no evidence that Tinubu interfere with the Governors. He is just a rallying point for SW Governors within the APC. We should stay together is all I am saying. PDP is up to no good. Being there done that.

allisso:
of course we are all glad he lost. He has no business in the Senate anymore and same goes for Folarin I hope he doesn't contest again after this. I'm tired of recycling these people and let's hope Tinubu stays out of our Oyo politics and then he will have my respect back

peace

Peace bro!

allisso:
check the statistics, Adelabu has always been linked to Tinubu

don't act like you don't know

But Bro, do you trust Tinubu judgement to associate with performers? Adelabu is not Ajimobi who bleeped up especially during his 2nd term. It will be nice to still have Oyo in the APC fold rather than go the way of PDP. As far as I know, the PDP is up to no good.

raumdeuter:
Anything and everything they must find a way to involve Tinubu

Tinubu gave Ajimobi a free hand in Oyo state he did not interfere in any way but seems the best way to whip up sentiments is by mentioning Tinubus name

The same thing Akeredolu did in Ondo that he eventually lost to senatorial districts

Tinubu knows his boundaries. None of the people he supported have ever accused him of interference. So this narrative is actually being pushed by those people that Tinubu did not support their candidacy.

Iwofa lenu. Ohun to ba hun elenu lo le so. You are not relevant OBJ.

allisso:
okay sorry for the insult
truly he (Ajimobi) performed better than the past PDP governors in the state but I don't support him and tinubu imposing candidate on us and mind you if APC wins he will be more like a godfather (we clearly don't want that here in oyo anymore after Adedibu)
so Seyi has my vote, if he bleep up, we change him too

no time for rubbish

Bro, I must clarify something though. I am happy that Ajimobi lost his election to the Senate. He's become too arrogant almost to the extent that he is out of touch with reality. He locked up LAUTECH for almost a year. Went and demolish Ayefele's house claiming encroachement, then went back to rebuild it. He got involved in Ibadan Oba politics just to name a few.... And I don't think his behaviour here can be attributed to Tinubu. That is the part I just wants to clarify. Nobody can take us for a ride. That I completely agree with you.

no time for rubbish

Apology accepted bro. This narrative that Tinubu imposes candidates in SW and therefore a godfather cannot be proved except if we want to condemn somebody based on guilt by association. Tinubu clarified the relationship with Ajimobi as one of "Partners in progress". As a Yoruba, we have a saying that the inability of reptiles to move together is their Achilles hill. We also cannot throw the baby away with the bath water. Tinubu camp has been able to produce performers in Govt as you rightly allude to. So we must not now use the same thing against him. Look at the people from Tinubu camp: Fashola, Fowler, Osinbajo etc just to name a few. Is any of this people a pushover? We should just think these things through. Govt house is not where we experiment. As mentioned earlier, there is something about PDP that makes their representatives non performers in SW.

allisso:
I supported him when he contested under SDP in the last election so I'm not a party man

you can check all my posts I don't give a F about APC or PDP

it is you that should wake up and stop licking ass
they are all the same

You may lick "ass" but I don't. I have no affiliation to either of them. All I am simply asking you to do is to place side by side the achievement of both parties while they were in office. There is something about PDP that makes whoever is their candidate in South West not to perform, while in office. That is why I regard them as rogues...

allisso:
awa omo Ibadan know who we are voting

akala and tinubu can chop shit

PDP is a Party of rogues. When they were their before APC, what were their achievements?

Sai Buhari!
Sai Baba!!

Afonja007:
is security apparatus of nigeria birth right of northerners? Answer me Ewu jalingo

I chose to ignore a fool.

Those wailing that the CBN Governor will be replaced by someone from the North. Is the CBN Governor seat the birth of the Emefiole's? Very senseless beings. Hopeless bigots.

N3.97bn fraud: Badeh’s company pleads guilty to charges, forfeits $1m, Abuja houses to FG
Published March 4, 2019



Ade Adesomoju,
Abuja

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday convicted and ordered the immediate winding up of a company, Iyalikam Nigeria Limited belonging to a former Chief of Defence Staff, the late Chief Air Marshall Alex Badeh.
Having convicted the company on the amended 10 counts of money laundering, Justice Okon Abang also ordered the forfeiture of the sum of $1m and houses in choice areas of Abuja linked to the company.
This followed the Monday’s turn around by the company to plead guilty to the 10 counts of money laundering charges which it and Badeh had earlier denied.
The guilty plea was part of the plea bargain agreement reached between the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the defence.
Assets linked to Badeh and Iyalikam which Justice Abang ordered their final forfeiture to the Federal Government were listed in the plea bargain agreement which the EFCC reached with the defence and filed before the court on Monday.
The assets are:
*A mansion at No. 6, Ogun River Street, Off Danube Street, Maitama, Abuja
*A shopping mall at Plot 1386, Oda Crescent Cadastral Zone A07, Wuse II, Abuja
* A duplex at No. 19, Kumasi Crescent, Wuse II, Abuja
* A duplex situate at No. 14, Adzope Crescent, Off Kumasi Crescent, Wuse II, Abuja
* A semi-detached duplex situate at No. 8A, Embu Street, by Sigma Apartment Wuse II, Abuja
*The sum of $1,000,000.00 only recovered from No. 6, Ogun River Street, Off Danube Street, Maitama, Abuja
Based on the plea bargain agreement, the court also ordered that upon conviction, thdefendant should be wound up “and any other property or account in the name of the defendant shall be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria”.
EFCC was, until Badeh’s death, prosecuting him alongside Iyalikam Nigeria Limited on 14 counts of money laundering bordering on alleged fraudulent removal of about N3.97bn from the Nigerian Air Force’s account.
Badeh and the company had jointly pleaded not guilty to the charges in 2016, prompting the prosecution to open its case which it later closed last year after calling 22 prosecution witnesses.
Badeh was scheduled to open his defence on January 16 this year, but before the hearing date, gunmen killed him along Abuja-Keffi Expressway on December 18, 2018.

Political herdsmen. This time around, there will be no mercy as all of you will be uprooted .

Atiku photos after the election. He looks downcast. Now the reality is dawning on him. Those who deceived him have collected their own share of the loot

How can you build something of standard and everything is falling apart within 3.5 years? This Jonathanians lie and substandard project goes hand in hand

Why are the crooks not turning into Agriculture?

gobuchinny:
This is a very ignorant post..y r you acting like Oyedepo is doing Nigeria a favour? don't you know the person that benefits most from this is Oyedepo? is the school free? is the school subsidised?

This a business like any other business..i know because my family owns a school in Lagos that generates million every quarter...what is all this rubbish like we should clap that a great thing has been done..

These schools are built with tithe and offerings of the people and privatised to personal business and you are here talking like a great thing was done..should we clap for him

Is Oyedepo even paying taxes to Govt from the money he realised from these schools

Cletus77:
Hypocrisy is when you shout otoge in Kwara and Jagaban in Lagos

Don't you think Abia State need the Otoge more than Lagos state? Look into the mirror, you will see a hypocrite

OriakuAmara:
What is happening in Ondo state despite the allocation they are receiving as NDDC state?

See Ondo State on the list ...

What is happening in Delta state, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa state with all the allocation from the Federal Government?

Sai Buhari!

Nigerian Stock Market Gains N434bn to close N11.83tr in February

March 1, 2019

Goddy Egene

The Nigerian stock market appreciated by 3.8 per cent in the month of February compared with a decline in January. The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) All-Share Index (ASI) rose from 30,557.20 to close at 31,721.76 while market capitalisation gained N434 billion, rising from N11.395 trillion to N11.829 trillion at the end of the month.

The market had recorded a decline in January as general elections jitters kept most investors away. However, investors increased their patronage in February as they anticipated the release of corporate results for the year ended December 2018. Also, some investors felt the political uncertainties were reducing. Hence, the market appreciated in the month of February.



The growth would have been higher but for the decline recorded in the last two days of the month after the result of the presidential elections were announced and President Muhammadu Buhari declare the winner.

The NSE ASI had appreciated to a high of 32,700.12, while market capitalisation rose to N12.194 trillion on Monday. However, the NSE ASI closed the month at 31,721.76, while market capitalisation ended at N11.829 trillion.

The market recorded the highest decline of 1.63 per cent yesterday, which was the last day of the month. Losses by GTBank Plc, Nestle Nigeria Plc and Zenith Bank Plc were partly responsible for the decline.

However, market operators are optimistic that the market would perform better in the second half of 2019..

For instance, the Group Chief Executive Officer of Emerging Africa Capital Group, Mrs. Toyin Sanni told THISDAY that the general expectation is that the first half 2019 will be more of the same as last year because investors will be playing a wait and see approach due to the elections.

“Investors will wait to see how the elections are accepted and confirm that there will be peace in the post-election period up till May 29, which will be the day the new government will be sworn into office,” she said.

According to her, investors generally just want stability and peace, stressing that the parameters remain positive for Nigeria from a long-term perspective.

“Nigeria remains an attractive because of its size, demographics because of the continued activities of SMEs which are the drivers of this economy, because of how we have embraced the digital economy as a people and a nation because we are still a resources rich country. But investors would want to see that there is a stable government, there is peace and government is accepted by the people, investors will want to see they can expect the right economic policy and the policies will be implemented in a consistent manner,” she said
