As an entrepreneur, Oba Otudeko is a go-getter. As a boardroom politician, he is bullish. As a money-chaser, he is a hard-nosed capitalist. He has the tendency to browbeat regulatory authorities both in money market and capital market. There is no doubt that Oba Otudeko is a principality in the mammonic kingdom.

However, every empire has its rise and its fall. One hopes this corporate governance misadventure will not lead to the fall of Oba Otudeko empire.

For his company to be owing backlog loan of 75billion Naira
He already has a very big comma
Heard he is also owing Ecobank via Airtel

The thing is that most of these so called big men live on debt simple
Many of them are deep in debt
But will be claiming business doyen

Good for them
If na Chelsea playing
They will be wishing us evil
The kind bad Belle Man Utd fans had for Chelsea on Tuesday night
I was shocked

What's happening to them now?
Conceding 2 home goals and loosing
May God have mercy on them

McStoic:
Adonbilivit ho haa! Anyways for me, I would rather study pharmacy than medicine. Reason being pharmacists achieve more in shorter periods after graduation than doctors. Pharmacy can thrive anywhere but a doctor needs some sort of synergy and help to make it soon.
Apart from the Federal Hospitals where doctors are heavily pampered right from their days of housemanship to consultancy, pharmacists are already on the move with or without the hospitals after their internship.


I have many pharmacy friends who are into sales representative stuff, retail and different kind of supplies. They supply drugs to different locations with different demands. Also, once you have drugs, an illness is half cured. And there are consultant pharmacists who are good in what they do that you may not readily need a doctor. Those pharmacology and pharmacodynamics versed guys etc.


As for those saying doctors are in high demand abroad, even so are other health professionals. A consultant doctor friend once revealed that majority of the doctors who travel abroad are those who have been sitting for their consultancy exams repeatedly and not passing it, they moved overseas. I know someone who spent about 5 years but couldn't get his consultancy. He is now in Saudi Arabia. Several of them are in UK too.


The OP is one reason there is so much bitterness existing between doctors and other health professionals. For people like him, it's usually a status thing. I know some village guys who read medicine in school because their families were hell bent on having a doctor as a status symbol. Against someone whose parents allowed to naturally chose medicine as a course, you will see different exhibition of class, temperament, and carriage etc. IT'S VERY WRONG TO CHOOSE A COURSE FOR YOUR CHILDREN AGAINST THEIR NATURAL ABILITIES AND POTENTIALS..

Let me just stop here.

Even if the doctors failed many times for consultant exam, they still went on to do great things today

I remember one of my Dad's friend then, a constant already
He left Nigeria for US
His colleagues were telling him he should be here and become a professor of medicine but he said no

Today the man is a renowned top professor in the US
He moved his whole family over there and they are by Miles ahead of his colleagues today

A doctor moving abroad is one million times better than staying here
They are extremely well paid and they get to belong to the highest earners there

Reference:
Real Madrid will not play the same game you saw yesterday. They are far too experienced for that. They clearly underestimated Chelsea. They won't make the same mistake twice. Home and away doesn't count in empty stadiums.

I assess outcomes by the residual levels of potentials. Chelsea played at almost 100 percent of their potentials to get that result while Madrid were less than 60 percent.

And you think Chelsea won't bring out there own strategy.
Secret of Chelsea recent performance is simply Thomas Tuchel
This was same team Lampard was handling
He is tactically sound
He outsmarted Zidane in the first game
So let's see what he has for Madrid there second game

In addition
Chelsea have a younger fitter team
While Madrid has more experience
We will see how far

neyohh:
One area where restructuring make's sense.

Let each region be responsible for generating their own electricity

Exactly
This is the main problem concerning electricity

Let each region provide, share and regulate it's own power

This National grid is the problem

neyohh:
Those trading crypto are not innovating, just trading.

I'm talking about innovative tech startups that solve local problems.

Don't get me wrong a lot are trying especially with fintechs but we're not aggressive and creative enough.

We have more moaners than problem solvers, we need to get the numbers up.

You must have a clear cut mind to think out solutions, to be creative and innovative

When basic stuffs are cloudied up on people, you think they can think straight

Why is sub Saharan Africa the most underdeveloped and impoverished part of the world

Finding the factors that caused that will point you to the reasons we have moaners and less problem solvers

neyohh:
The private sector drives 97 percent of US's gdp.


Nigerian's are not aggressive enough. Yea aggressive with simple things but shy away from complicated problems.

That's the US you are talking about
Here in Nigeria
The government drives everything with it's policies

Eg the crypto currency issue
Nigerian government banned it enforcing it on Banks
While in the US government allows it to go on

So you can't compare the two countries
The battle, threats and challenges one is facing here is too much

neyohh:
Nigerians need to stop moaning and become solution driven.

Tone down the frivolities, hyper consumerism/sexuality...

Focus on solutions/ investments/education/tech

It's not by blowing rhetoric

The government must drive the initiative. But where you have a clueless government
What do you want the ordinary people to do?

samdunzo:
As simple as that. Times are truly changing, and with the recent revelations coming out from the FG, I don't think the UK wants to be seen associating with a government that supports terrorists. Also, the fear of migrants, especially those from Africa and the middle east, is a very big concern for Europe, so the UK could be showing support for restructuring/secession as a way of potentially reducing those migrants.

Hmm I throw way salute
You are a very deep thinker!!!!

Respect!!!

samdunzo:
I think this has to do with power changing hands politically. If you study the involvement of the brits around the world, you will see that they often put together strange bed fellows to milk money out of them. They did the same thing in the middle east for easy access to oil, and we all know how that played out. Now that oil is becoming irrelevant, they are looking for new partners. We'll see sha. I wont be surprised if nigeria is designated a terror sponsoring country soon

Sense full for your reply.
They see down south now as very lucrative for the future
A well organized South will thrive economically
And it will still benefit the Brits unlike the Northerners who are economically disadvantaged, no education, no innovation, unbridled extremism more like a clog in the wheel

So they are now trying to align with a side that has very good future prospects

Wao this is deep

AHCB:
now kindly list developing cities in th world let's compare..

Mind you, I spoke about Lagos being the best state in Nigeria, I didn't dissuade or name any foreign country or foreign city.

You said Abuja is more developed than Lagos, how? Kindly explain. Please don't deviate from the premise of the argument. Thank you.

You don't even know what is a developing and a developed nation and you are asking me
Research it and find out

Yes Abuja is miles more developed than Lagos
Lagos is a glorified slum

V I and ikoyi can't be even compared to wuse and jabi talkless comparing them to Maitama and Asokoro

Or is it quality road networks and infrastructures
Can you compare?

AHCB:
I believe there's no state in Nigeria that is as develop as Lagos. Now ask yourself how did Lagos achieve this?

If you readily blame the lack of development in Nigeria, as a result of bad leadership, ask yourself this: your senators, house of reps members and the likes, what have they been doing all this time?

I'm sure you don't know if you achieve your imaginary state of Biafra, this same set of people will be the one who will lead you, so tell me how well do you think they'll lead you?

Which one is Lagos again eh
Do you actually understand what development is actually

Lagos is a shit.hole in comparison to even cities in developing countries

Abuja is more developed than Lagos but still you can't compare Abuja to many developing countries cities

The level of mediocrity in Nigeria is very nauseating

We are talking of developed places and you are calling a slum like Lagos developed

Abeg

AHCB:
So you're saying Igbos not having good roads and basic infrastructure is the fault of the president or what exactly are you saying?

Look around Nigeria in the year 2021 and see the level of underdevelopment

Where is the infrastructure

Ordinary steady electricity is not available

It's a leadership and incompetenct problem
For over 60 years same story

And there is sign of any change

These things fuel these agitation

So telling someone of properties scattered around the country that is seriously underdeveloped

Than having a nation where development, economic success is guaranteed

Which one do you think they will go for?

The leadership has totally failed
It's a very pathetic issue

capatainrambo:
nigeria cant do shit. If uk put arms embargo on Nigeria to think they can defend thier borders ? If uk want biafra forget it. They will just give that kanu man a nod, give him arms etc

Fg wont even dare cough. Have you seen crazy ?

Mrchewww

I don't personally see any need for arms

Who will fight
When international community agree to the referendum

Everyone is tired of the way Nigeria is going
So who will do the fighting

AHCB:
Sometimes I wonder if these IPOB miscreants shouting for this nonsense referendum know exactly what they're asking for?

I saw their propose narrow minded map of Biafra and laughed. They included South-South states. So in their minds the South-South will join them in their warped Biafra Republic? LMAO.

Now let's even say Biafra become a reality, those set of Biafrans who are scattered all over the country with properties and businesses? Do these IPOB agitators really know what will happen to those properties and businesses?

I honestly believe these guys are just mischief makers. That's all.

Can you compare properties to peace of mind
Moreover political stability leads to economic stability

And to tell you the truth almost every one is tired of the way Nigeria is right now

Ordinary steady electricity Nigeria don't have in 2021

People are totally tired
Those that never gave attention to this agenda
Are now serious about it

The Igbo man having his own country
Will be easier to develop
Good roads
Modern infrastructures
Steady electricity
A production and export based economy
Quality standard of living

Are of great proportion compared to so called properties scattered around Nigeria

Emperormartin:
War is looming in football world and I'm pained

No be small war
European football may get a very big hit
Many of the owners may even sell of there interests

Mr Abrahmovic may wash his hands off Chelsea when you add what the British authorities did to him.
He has never attended any game for over 3 years now

He may call it quits with British football


Even the EPL UEFA and FIFA won't be spared
The global audience that pays billions to watch these games may loose interest because home fans are not only the stakeholders in the football game

Bad blood has really entered football

OdumegwuOjukwu:
If this is the true situation, we have to support our local (village/town) vigilantes to forestall breakdown of law and order.

Community policing can start at micro level as the Nigerian police and army are largely problematic in the South East.

Local vigilantes has been effective it's just that government undermine them

I remember when notorious criminals that were wreaking havoc were dealt with by local security operations
They totally finished them off

Angelfrost:
Of course they were, but not at the scale that is about to befall your people...

maybe you don't realize this, but a corrupt and half effectual security outfit is far better than no security at all... Except you agitators have a replacement security in place, cos the criminal elements are waiting eagerly to take over.

Oga for East
Local security does more than even government security operations

I remember when Criminals where wreaking havoc in the East
The security agencies were not doing enough
Bakassi boys were engaged
Even till today
The fear of Bakassi boys still dey for the mind of many criminals because of the kind of terror those boys instilled on the criminals


In addition local vigilantes are very effective till today
I am from Anambra
From 10pm, if you no explain yourself well
The local vigilantes will carry you do pepper


The security set up by government to me even draws our security operations backward
If we are left to secure our place
There will be no criminality in our region

Igbo man despise criminality
It's an abomination in our culture

Before if one is getting married our custom requires finding out whether criminality runs in the gene of the family your relative is planning to marry into

We detest criminals

igboarenice:
How do pastors managed to get eminence in Nigeria can't stop baffling me.
Adeboye and others should be begging to see Ugwuanyi.
But to my uttermost shock.
Governors will be acting like errand boys when meeting pastors.
Ugwuanyi shouldn't be bowing to any mortals let alone one pastor.
Nigeria is one weird country

These big pastors you see eh Carry huge Grace on there lives
The kind of Grace that will turn your life around

Let me shock you, even Rich Muslims supports these big pastors
They know the Grace they carry

One mega church in Lagos I know is being sponsored by a very rich middle eastern countries business men

One of my chairman friend talked of his encounter with Adeboye
He had boarded a jet and he noticed from looking outside that people were running Helter skelter
It was later he saw it was Adeboye that boarded same jet
Adeboye passed him and just touched his shoulder and said God bless you

The guy is a big oga in oil and gas industry. He said that particular trip, he made the biggest deal in his business by that encounter


People often criticize paying tithe to all these Churches
But from my finding
It's poor people that complain

Go ask the Rich and wealthy men that handle big money and deals
Giving to an anointed church no juju reach am oo
The return is on a mad level

I know of Nnewi billionaire business man that built mega cathedral for Redeemed church in Nnewi worth billions. Go ask the business man the kind of business favor he encounter that made him do so

These Pastors you see carry very big Grace's
Even in the Bible
The prophets in old testament carried same Grace

isthatso:
The problems of this nation have it roots in the pysche of the Ibo man, his quest to dominate others and the determination of the Fulani to keep them in check.



You are the one denying the obvious


which younger ones? the ones that couldnt even endure a protest or the ones spending their time on BBNaija or Nollywood, or nairabet?



you think you are smart but why arent you asking yourself why? if you do you will see I am right, why is it so diccicult to put an Ibo man into Aso rock for over 55 years? why is it the powers that be would rather a minority from the SS than an Ibo? The fundamental source of Nigerias problems can be traced to the ibos and so no one trusts them with power, wise men saw what they did in just a few months in 1966 and what the aim was. The powers that be wont allow state police or autonomy because they know when an ibo man does not get his way he will scattter everything with armed security units or with money to equip a rebellion. The ibo man is the reason the SS go to Abuja to collect their own money, the reason the SW goes to Abuja to collect vat generated in Sw, the reason why Zamfara mines gold and doesnt declare it.

Seems I have been discussing with a depressive maniac

Go and cure your delusions

At least this present video of this topic is showing that many people are getting tired of the way the nation is going and things can't remain the same again

Something must give way

Talking about the presidency
Those that have ruled
How has the country fared?
What's the present state of all those years of ruling?

Thank God we were never part of those that has been rulling Nigeria
That has left Nigeria in it's present state

As for your lots obsessed with the igbo
You can't do nothing
Our Chi is very strong
Despite all thrown at us
we are still a very good success story
You lots can't do nothing
Because our Chi guarding us dey kampe no shaking
He strong full ground
And nothing any mortal man can do to the Igbo man
We survived the war
Bounced back and doing well for ourselves

And as e dey pain people like you
Na so e go be
Una never see anything

Rubbish talk. continue worshipping and asslicking your Messiah and Master called Tuchel.

Looks like I have been talking with a kid
No wonder you can't grasp thing's

majamajic:
When Etisalat left Nigeria is when I know Nigeria is very tough place for foreign investors

Company that is number 1 Telecom company in Dubai

As one that has done business in Nigeria over a decade now
What I call Nigerias business environment is shark infested water


There are many sharks waiting to eat you up in Nigerias business environment

It's not for the faint hearted

That's why I still respect Dangote, BUA, Adenuga them
We may say they use government patronage
But many other business men got government patronage
But didn't do anything with it

So it's not Bean's
Anyone you see with some level of success in business in Nigeria

Throway respect for that person


In addition foreign investors leaving doesn't mean that local companies can't step up to the ladder
They can innovate and even get better

But the government must create a conducive environment for business
This present regime has got no clue on how improving your nations business environment can add great value to your economy and citizens

Jazzman01:
Three tactically sound managers indeed, where did you put the likes of Jose mourinho, Brendan Rodgers, Carlo Ancelotti and David Moyes It is even too early to include Tuchel in the list.

You don't even know what tactically sound Managers is self for you to mention Brendan Rogers and Moyes
I have been discussing with a novice



Carlo Ancelotti, Jose have reached there prime, they are declining now more on the retiring level

Ijeleigbo:
My brother people will see the truth and will not want to admit it.... Everyone knows Tuchel is a tactical genius! It's not like Chelsea is super or exciting but because of Tuchel tactical masterstroke, this what turned results around for Chelsea and got us into the semifinals for the first time in 7 years. Let's learn to appreciate good things and stop beefing and hate, e no good for bodi oh.... Looking forward to the game against Guardiola. It's going to be super exciting!!!

Honestly I was really shocked by his take
Really people that don't appreciate good thing or lie when they see the truth raw have very serious problem

isthatso:
You clearly are either not smart enough to grasp what I am saying or too emotional because possibly you are Ibo. To everyone else it is clear..you will never have peace with an Ibo man in your midst unless he is in control! The Ibo man must be no1 or he brings down the whole house!!!! That is the foundation of this country that is faulty.

You don't make any sense with what you wrote there
Infact from your write up, you have hallucinating spell of igbo man
Tormenting your mindset
Honestly you need help

With all the challenges facing this nation it's the Igbo man is your concern

Well with the type of you
Continue hidding from the problem by hiding your face in the sand like an ostrich

But note that sane minds are warning presently about what Nigeria is turning into

If it not addressed
Nature abhors vacuum
A younger generation tired of what's going on in this nation are rising up gradually

Just a Matter of time



In addition the igbo man you are calling has not ruled this country for over 5 decades
He hasn't been number one

But you still drag him into the issue

You are really smart indeed

Jazzman01:
Best tactical manager my foot. Getting to the UCL Final shouldnt be an achievement considering the quality of players he had at PSG. Even with all the quality players he had at his disposal, he was almost knocked out along the way by a medicore team like Atalanta. It was no Surprise that PSG had to fire him because he wasn't performing to their expectations.

And he has reached another semi finals with a team that hasn't been playing well in Europe for some years now

A team everyone wrote off they won't pass 2nd round

Tuchel is very good tactically

During the weekend
He will slug it out with Pep Guardiola

We will see how it goes then!!!

Ijeleigbo:
So it is Chelsea that is not a high pressing side? Stop the beef and hate and enjoy the game of football. I would support any English side at this stage if Chelsea didn't make it. Football no be mathematics.... It's a game of tactics and Chelsea have one of the best tactical managers in the world who got to the champions league finals last year with PSG. If you like, argue with your phone!!!

Don't mind that dude
The difference in Chelsea is simply it's manager who is tactically sound

And can match any manager in Europe
That was how they were misyarning against Athletico Madrid
And still he tactically beat Diego Simeon over two legs

When Chelsea maybe reaches final
I wonder what they will say

Thomas Tuchel is good
I watched some of Chelseas games and saw how tactically good he is

It takes a tactically sound Manager to change the formation of the team and starts winning easily with it

Over the weekend he will dig it out with Pep Guardiola
It will be an interesting game to watch!!!!

Jazzman01:
Take Liverpool out of the equation for now, they are currently at their all time low. Any team can beat them these days, they are no longer a threat.

No you don't take him out of the equation
When Tuchel took over Chelsea
What was the result on ground?

This guy have gone on to win many games
Beat teams they where written off about


He has done excellently well
He is a good tactician

This Chelsea team where in shambles
He has done a good work on them


As far as English Premier league is concerned
They have three tactically sound Managers

Jurgen Kloop
Pep Guardiola
And now Tuchel has been added to them


If Chelsea manage to overcome Real Madrid in semi finals
And PSG reach finals
Tuchel will run rings over PSG
He was there former manager
He knows the team inside out
You know this game of Life can be very hillarous

Meeting the manager you just sacked some months ago in a final

COMPAQ:
Nope! With the way Nigeria is going, everybody needs to start taking. Even Adeboye!

Nigeria is falling apart!!

They don't understand
Right thing's are not done
And a younger generation is coming up gradually
That doesn't send anybody
That wants the good things of life associated with good nations

When this generation fully matures
Nothing can hold or stop them

A stitch in time saves nine

He who has an ear to hear let him hear

isthatso:
Typical emotional ibo response, i gave documented facts and accounts, counter it with facts and events...no! Instead in typical ibo fashion he resorts to abuse!!! is decree 34 a lie? Is Nzeogwus accounts a lie? Are all the ibos appointments to key military positions post coup a lie? When the coup failed, why did Nwafu orizor (senate president) refuse to hand over to the most senior politician (the man from Borno) as constitutionally required instead handing over to his kinsman Ironsi.

the fact that you dont like the truth doesnt mean it is not true. You are the ones fed lies by your parents. the facts are there. Some of the things i quoted are words of ibos themselves, keys actors in the coup. read Omogui and his works, it is the most unbiased report of military events in Nigeria instead of spewing propagangda inherited from your forefathers that are just narratives and contrary to evidence/facts on ground.

i have rarely see an ibo man acknowledge his shortcomings or admit he made mistakes, instead he doubles down and resorts to insults and propaganda, this is why it is always difficult to get along with ibos and why ibos NEVER do well politically. I have said it many times the trait (to dominate others and be no1) that makes you good in business is your downfall in politics because politics is about compromise 9 you must be able to lose sometimes and accept it)....something alien to the ibo man.

So what has all these you said have to do with what the Pastor is saying

He was talking about Nigerias foundation being faulty and you now mention Igbo man

Something is seriously not right honestly. It just doesn't make sense


People are pointing out the problem
But folks like you are running away from the fact

Things are not looking right across the country
Never has the nation seen what is happening now
And sane citizens are raising alarm
To salvage what remains of Nigeria
But na igbo man you will be calling

May God have mercy on your soul
You really need redemption

Teaser4:
don't mind those toddlers above.. Nah so one mumu talk that time say Madrid nah walk over, I laff in Spanish... Chelsea don reach bus stop, any team wey qualify between Madrid n Liverpool go flog em... Noisemakers.. Make Dem comot for FA cup this weekend first.. Nothing like 2012 here, Dem dey go house... Pin and quote me anytime all ye shepe fans

What if city no comot Chelsea this weekend, wetin go happen

Pep and Tuchel have not played any game against each other as Managers in EPL before today

Both are tactically sound Managers and we will find out who will out wit the other

Same happened btw klop and Tuchel
Liverpool has been beating Chelsea under lampard but there was difference when they met

Anyone that looks down on this present Chelsea with there Manager is not sound
They have all it takes to carry this competition

ScamHunter:
It's astonishing my brother what colonialism has done to the African psyche. The fact that of more than 200 ethnic groups, only the Igbo want independence speaks volumes of what the native African has become. It's not as if they never survived and prospered before the whiteman came and amalgamated them into a lousy contraption. They're not even bothered that continual existence of Nigeria would lead them to a certain genocide under Fulani. All they care about is a daily bread due to lack of confidence that they can survive without what the colonialists left them. It shows the never-say-die Igbo spirit; reason for the jealousy and hatred. When they call you "Igbo man", my dear, it means a lot. I keep asking myself what is in Nigeria that these people desire to die under its shadows. Massacred in North East, North West, North Central, South West, yet they all love the country that wants to exterminate them but hate the Igbo for no reas0nable reason than that they're born survivors.

The fact is that Nigeria can still work if a right leader that carries everyone along takes the presidency

Nigeria has the ingredients to make it work, but has not gotten the right cook to use the ingredients

A leader that knows how to bring out the Best in the nation

But where is that leader?

But the present one is really drawing the nation backward

It's just a pity
