Car TalkInside Innoson Motor Manufacturing Plant Nnewi Nigeria – World’s 1st Black Owned by Dospix(op): 8:06pm On Sep 03, 2013
Inside Innoson Motor Manufacturing Plant Nnewi Nigeria – World’s First Black-Owned Car Manufacturer

The youngest among six children, Chief (Dr) Innocent Ifediaso Chukwuma (OFR), was born into the family of Mr & Mrs Chukwuma Mojekwu of Uru-Umudim, Nnewi, in Anambra State, without the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth. But, what he lacked in affluent parental background, he made up for with intelligence, hard-work, discipline and business acumen – qualities that have continued to interplay remarkably in his many ventures.
In February 2007, Chukwuma embarked on what some analysts perceived then as a mission impossible, when it incorporated INNOSON Vehicle Manufacturing Company Limited (IVM), to produce sundry commercial automobiles, utility vehicles and passenger cars, in collaboration with a consortium of Chinese auto manufacturers.
With the public display of some of the vehicles at the 2nd Nnewi International Auto Trade Fair held at the Beverly Hills Hotels (Gabros Sports Complex) in the last quarter of 2009, IVM did not only silence the critics, but made a bold statement about its readiness to achieve the avowed mission of being the first (indigenous) auto maker to produce truly Nigerian vehicles that are affordable and reliable.

IVM is today a success story which has attracted effusive commendations and awards from various quarters, including the nation’s seat of power. While opening the plant on October 15, 2010, President Goodluck Jonathan not only hailed Chukwuma for the courage of venturing into an industry many ran away from, but also assured him of government’s patronage from the government.

But even before the President’s visit, IVM had attracted an official delegation from the Ghanaian government, which through a minister, dangled incentives before Chukwuma with an appeal to come over to Accra for talks on how he could set up a similar plant in the former Gold Coast.

PoliticsStudents Give FG 7 Days Ultimatum To End Strike Or Face Nation Wide Protest by Dospix(op): 6:29pm On Aug 29, 2013
Peeved by almost two-month old strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), yesterday issued a one-week ultimatum to the Federal Government and the union’s leadership to resolve their differences or face serious consequences.
The students said if the impasse was not resolved within the next seven days, it will mobilise students on a nation-wide riot in what it described as ‘operation occupy Nigeria’.
The students’ body appealed to ASUU to return to the classroom and continue negotiation with the Federal Government since the latter claimed to have released over N100 billion for infrastructural development and another N30 billion for allowances.
This was the highpoint of a protest by the students who blocked the Asaba end of the River Niger Bridge to press home their demands. The protest caused traffic snarl for several hours as the students stalled movements to the eastern part of the country even as those returning were barred.
NANS coordinator in the South-South and South-East, Comrade Chinonso Obasi, stated that students were at the receiving end of the strike and vowed that they would take their destinies in their own hands if the parties failed to reconcile within a week.
“We are appealing to ASUU that since the Federal Government has been able to release N100 billion for infrastructural development and N30 billion for allowance, they should go back to classroom and continue their negotiation or agitation. This is our prayer and wish.
“We are giving them one week to open the schools or be ready to face corrosive consequences in form of nation-wide demonstration and riots. We are ready to mobilise for that and it will be operation occupy Nigeria,” he said.
Lamenting the effect of the strike, Obasi said students have become prone to accidents on the highways and the female students have been reduced to sex hawkers on the streets.
His words: “I stand to tell you that a lot of accidents have been recorded and 99.9% of the victims are Nigerian students. If they were in classrooms, they would not have fallen victims of road crashes.
“Our female students have become commercial sex hawkers on the streets in order to make ends meet. This colossal effect is more than what ASUU is agitating for. Hence, we can no longer fold our arms and watch things go wrong.”

PoliticsRe: Breaking News: Femi Fani Kayode Is Not Even Yoruba After All:haunted By A Nupe A by Dospix(m): 12:25pm On Aug 24, 2013
FEMI FANI KAYODE - Haunted By A
Nupe Ancestry- Fighting A Foggy
Yoruba Identity Complex
By
Dr. N. Tony Nwaezeigwe, Senior
Research Fellow Institute of African
Studies, University of Nigeria,
Nsukka.
Nigeria’s nationality question is
neither the creation of the Igbo nor
the Yoruba. It is the consequence
of Hausa-Fulani’s megalomaniac
quest for political power in the
nation. Yet the Hausa-Fulani accept
the fact that both the Igbo and
Yoruba hold the key to their
attainment of this divine-right
objective only if both groups agree
to remain suspicious of the other.
It therefore becomes obvious that
the solution to this national
question can only be attained if
both the Igbo and Yoruba realize
that their mutual understanding
and respect of the other’s
perception of Nigeria’s progress
would save the nation millions in
loss of human and material
resources.
First, both the Igbo and Yoruba,
seen respectively as mentors to
other minority ethnic groups in the
South and Middle Belt should see
their assumed characteristic
rivalry, if at all there is something
like that, as healthy to the overall
development of the Nigerian nation
and, not the vice versa. Second,
both groups should be aware that
this question of Nigeria’s
nationality will always persist so
long as the Hausa-Fulani feel that
without any one of their own being
at the helms of authority in this
country, there will be no peace.
And one fundamental means of
achieving this Arabian power
mentality is to ensure there is
perpetual state of political
belligerency between the Igbo and
Yoruba.
It is on record that both the Igbo
and Yoruba cannot write a
complete history of their respective
roles in the development of the
Nigerian nation without mentioning
the other in one positive sense or
the other. Apart from the fact that
both the Igbo and Yoruba were
equal stake-holders in the nation’s
Independence struggles, their
contacts long pre-dated the arrival
of the British colonial adventurers.
The Yoruba were the first to
establish effective direct contacts
with traditional Igbo society long
before European incursions. They
had penetrated the Igboland before
the Igbo themselves thought of
coming to Yorubaland. The
evidence to this pre-colonial
contact is today found in the
existence in Igboland of a group of
ancient Yoruba-speaking Igbo sub-
group called Olukunmi made up of
Ugbodu, Ukwunzu, Ubulubu and
Idumuogo towns in Aniocha Local
Government Area of Delta State.
Although these people could pass
as normal Igbo in their general
definition of ethnic identity when
outside their communities, but
they still maintain their Yoruba
identity, speaking Yoruba language
as their primary mother-tongue
alongside Igbo and bearing mixed
Igbo-Yoruba names. Most of these
people claim to have migrated from
Owo in the present Ondo State
many centuries ago. Similarly many
Yoruba, mainly of Oshogbo and
Ogbomosho origins, Nupe and
Igala settlers today constitute a
substantial portion of Asaba and
Onitsha indigenes. These people
had settled among the Igbo long
before the coming of the Europeans
accessing their present abode
through the River Niger. Above all,
one cannot deny the positive roles
such Yoruba missionaries as
Bishops Samuel Ajayi Crowther and
James Johnson played in the
evangelization of Igboland during
the nineteenth century.
Thus effective contact between the
Igbo and Yoruba not only began
many centuries before the creation
of modern Nigerian nation, but
was initiated by the Yoruba. Those
who today think that Igbo-Yoruba
contact only began with European
colonialism, or that only the Yoruba
had been on the receiving end of
inter-ethnic migration may be
saying so either out of mere
ignorance of the subject of
Nigerian history, or sheer
mischievous and selfish political
motives. One does not need to go
into the mythical etymology of the
word “Igbo” which in Yoruba means
forest, but which was in fact first
applied by the immigrant Oduduwa
group to the aborigines of the
present Spiritual kingdom of Ife,
ascribing the term to people living
in the forest.
There is no gainsaying the fact that
the Igbo have always viewed the
Yoruba in a healthy competitive
sense and not in the light of a
heinous political and economic
rival, as such Yoruba political torn-
coats of doubtful ancestry as Femi
Abdulateef Fani-Kayode tend to
insinuate. In the same token, the
Yoruba on their part cannot claim
that the Igbo presence in their land
had been that of a habitual Igbo
quest to wrestle their ancestral
land from them. Not even the
ancestral owners of Lagos State of
whom Abdulateef Kayode is not
part of, can willingly cast aspersion
on their Igbo guests, for the latter
have always been their willing
partners in the progress of their
communities.
The Igbo have never been the
problem of native Lagosians but
the artificial Lagosians, who come
to appropriate their political
heritage in the name of Oduduwa.
These are the people who control
the Government of Lagos State
today, and turn to use the Igbo as
a convenient political scapegoat
whenever their devious exploitative
machinations against the
indigenous Lagosians become
obvious. This is mainly because this
class of artificial Lagosians has
always seen the Igbo as the only
veritable fall-back strategy by which
means the native Lagosians could
gain their internal independence
from their co-Oduduwa
oppressors.
It is on record that during the First
Republic both Lagos and Ibadan,
the two most prominent Yoruba
cities heavily relied on the Igbo-led
NCNC for the actualization their
political objectives against the
Obafemi Awolowo-led Action
Group. Even Chief Victor Fani-
Kayode, then the Chief thug to
Chief Obafemi Awolowo fell out of
favour with his master in 1959 his
point of refuge was Dr Nnamdi
Azikiwe, who promptly appointed
him Leader of Opposition in the
Western House of Assembly that
same year. Chief Obafemi Awolowo
took the same line of seeking Igbo
succor when he ordered his
followers while in prison to ally
with the Igbo-led NCNC to forge a
common front against reactionary
forces in Nigeria of which Chief
Victor Fani-Kayode a.k.a. Fani-
Power was one such element. So
Chief Femi Abdulateef Fani-Kayode
lacks every moral pedigree to speak
for the Yoruba nation because his
father had been a Yoruba quisling,
and above all not a true Yoruba
son. Today one fact is pertinent to
anyone who savours in the stream
of cyclic history Historyrepeats
itself only to those who stubbornly
refuse to learn from its lessons.
There is no doubt that with
theapproach of the epic political
battle of 2015, many desperate and
opportunistic attempts would be
made by some political
desperados, particularly those
whose political garbs are woven in
uncertain future to cause the
repeat of Nigeria’s sad political
history. This is the ship Chief Femi
Abdulateef Fani-Kayode finds himelf
today. He has been out of power
and with it came out of money. He
is thus in a mission of survival,
albeit in a most fatal approach.
In recent times, Nigerians have
unwittingly witnessed the
unguarded utterances of such
political desperados as Malams
Nasir el-Rufai and Nuhu Ribadu,
both of whom were shot into
unmerited political prominence
from obscurity by the sheer
political benevolence of President
Olusegun Obasanjo. Equally lately,
it became the turn of one of the
celebrated renegades of the apex
Yoruba socio-cultural organization-
Afenifere and one-time factional
leader of Alliance for democracy
(AD), Alhaji Bisi Akande to label the
President of his country a
kindergathen President, all in the
name of finding the means to
create a leeway of political conflict.
Any person who therefore lives
within the orbit of Nigeria’s stream
of political progress would easily
catch up with the inert motive of
this stream of unguarded
provocations against the
administration of President
Jonathan. The Boko Haram
insurgency, far from acting the
script of alternative state power,
subsequently became a dog-eat-
dog political cul-de-sac. Those who
had hoped to use the deadly
Islamic blood-suckers as a full-back
alternative strategy if they
eventually lose the presidential
election against President Jonathan
in 2015 are now at a loss as to
what next to do. For it has become
obvious that neither are they sure
of winning the epic electoral battle
nor would Boko Haram survive to
play the expected yoman role in
2015. It thus became crystal clear
when it became the turn of the
most colourless political clown of
President Olusegun Obasanjo
administration to join this stream
of agents provocateurs, most
politically discerning people quite
knew where Chief Femi Abdulateef
Fani-Kayode was coming from and
where he was going to.
With a quisling political and
subservient pedigree haunted by a
jaundiced Nupe ancestry, laced
with a foggy Saro-Yoruba identity
compex, nothing better should
have better been expected from
Chief David Oluwafemi adewunmi
abdulateef Fani-Kayode, a.k.a. Femi
Fani-kayode, than his spineless
historical verbosity woven in
outright haft-truths and infantile
sensationalism. As a professional
historian, replying to such musings
of a habitual moronic mind would
amount to giving Femi Abdulateef
Fani-Kayode an unmerited
intellectual prominence, which
indeed is his hidden motive behind
his calculated infamy against the
Igbo.
But one question which readily
strikes the mind is, does being an
alumnus of Cambridge University
automatically transform Abdulateef
Fani-Kayode into an expert of
anything? As a lawyer, if one may
be tempted to ask, what intellectual
and professional landmarks could
Abdulateef Fani-Kayode lay claim
to? Is it not on record that this
same Abdulateef Fani-Kayode has
not been able to run and manage a
viable law firm, just as his father,
Chief Victor Babaremilekun
Adetokunboh Fani-Kayode could
not, but relied on the tutelage of
the likes of Chief Rotimi Williams
and later Justicoe Soweminmo.
Thus outside the spoils of political
office, Femi Abdulateef Fani-
Kayode, like his father Victor, is
bound to be a political desperado
any he is put out political office. It
is only calamitous that he chose
the Igbo this time for his habitual
vain-glorious attempt to re-launch
himself into political relevance.
His attacks on the Igbo as to which
people are the bona fide owners of
Lagos State is thus as misplaced
and misdirected as it is a desperate
self-propping political venture for a
diminished political carpet-bagger.
One fact is pertinent, the Nigeria’s
convention one’s origins, Lagos is
neither the home of the Igbo nor
any Yoruba whose parents
migrated from somewhere else
outside Yorubaland, whether the
person is born there or not. Lagos
belongs to a definable ethnic and
sub-ethnic groups of people- the
Eko of Lagos Island and mainland
who could even conveniently claim
Bini ancestry, the Egba of Epe and
Ikorodu axis, the Egbado of Agege-
Ifako-Ijaiye axis the Egun of
Badagry axis, and the Awori of
western axis. It thus follows that
any Yoruba cannot fall within any
of these categories of native
Lagosians is as good a stranger as
any Igbo resident in Lagos, just as
any non-Onitsha Igbo resident in
Onitsha cannot claim any better
right over a Yoruba resident there.
Chief David Oluwafemi Adewunmi
Abdulateef Fani-Kayode is the least
of any Yorubaman to cast any form
of aspersion on Igbo contributions
to the development of Lagos State,
for he is not of original Yoruba
protegy. He cannot identify his line
of ancestry beyond his great-grand
father Reverand Emmanuel
Adedapo kayodes, a Nupe Sierra
Leonean captive of the British Anti-
Slavery squad from a Portuguese
Slave merchant vessel of the coast
of Dahomey. Reverend Emmanuel
Kayode was eventually adopted as
a house-boy by Bishop Samuel
Ajayi Crowther who gave him
Yoruba names and subsequently
trained him up to Fourah Bay
College, Freetown and enlisted him
as an Anglican Priest. Reverend
kayode, in line with the tradition of
the Saro-Yoruba of the time,
subsequently adopted Ife as his
ancestral home in a bid to
historically confirm his new Yoruba
identity.
But his father Chief Victor
Babaremilekun Adetokunboh Fani-
Kayode, fully aware of the
artificiality of his Yoruba identity
later identified the Nupe town of
Pategi in the present Niger State as
his Grand-father’s ancestral home
after he had disrespectfully
confronted Chief Obafemi Awolowo
in Public and the latter had politely
reminded him of his Nupe
ancestry. It was in reaction to this
obvious revelation by Chief
Obafemi Awolowo that he resorted
to naming his children after some
prominent members of his Nupe
family, hence “Abdulateef”, a purely
Muslim name was given to his son
Femi. The same tradition of Muslim
name was applied to Femi’s elder
brother who died a number of
years ago. It this fact is not on the
line of history, let Chief Femi
Kayode explain to Nigerians the
source of his Muslim name when
he claims a pedigree of traditional
Christian family, especially when
even his mother had strong
Christian family background.
In fact again in 1959, during one of
his father’s infamous public
altercations with Chief Obafemi
Awolowo, he was again reminded
by the respected sage of his Nupe
ancestry. It was when he could no
longer bear it that he decamped
the same year to NCNC where the
Great Zik promptly elevated him to
the Leader of Opposition in
Western House of Assembly. Is it
therefore not an irony of political
fate that somebody whose father
sought refuge under the canopy of
Igbo political leadership and
granted with honour when he was
rejected by Chief Obafemi
Awolowo, could now turn his
burden of frosty political
frustration against his father’s very
mentors.
But that again explains the irony of
a pedigree woven in a habitual
tradition of political harlotry,
infantile opportunism, and a
despondency crafted in pig-headed
obstinacy. His father Chief Victor
Fani-Kayode was never an ingrained
Yoruba patriot and nationalist, but
a cash n’ carry politician. If Chief
Obafemi Awolowo was accused of
introducing political thuggery in
Nigerian politics, it was in fact his
father as the Action Group National
Youth Leader that imposed the idea
on Chief Awolowo. This again
equally explains why his father was
always at daggers-drawn with Chief
Obafemi Awolowo, for on several
occasions he had attempted to
unleash that thuggery virus on
Chief Awolowo himself.
If Chief Femi Abdulateef Fani-
Kayode opened his wide mouth to
insult the integrity of the Igbo
people, it is only because the virus
of insubordination and rudeness
run in their blood. If his father did
the same to Chief Obafemi
Awolowo then Nigerians should
accept such action against the Igbo
as an act of accursed political
prodigality. Moulded by a
shameless quisling culture, if Femi
Abdulateef Fani-Kayode insulted
late President Umaru Yar’Adua
even in death, yesterday insulted
the person of President Goodluck
Jonathan, and today insults the
Igbo, he does so because he is still
under the spell of Chief Awolowo’s
curse on his father.
That he lately decamped to APC is
yet another show-casing of his
father’s tradition. When it became
obvious that the fortunes of Action
Group was becoming dim with its
relegation to National opposition
party in 1959, his father decamped
to NCNC. When again the fortunes
of NCNC became dim with the
alliance of Chief Samuel Akintola’s
faction of Action Group with the
reactionary Northern People’s
Congress, his father again dumped
NCNCN for Samuel akintola’s newly
formed Nigerian National
Democratic Party (NNDP), where
he was elevated to the post of
Deputy Premier and Regional
Minister of Local Government
Affairs. It was therefore not
surprising that his father should be
singled out by the young
revolutionaries of January 15, 1966
led by the enigmatic and gallant
Captain Nwaobosi to be dealt with.
Femi Abdulateef Fani-Kayode had
once confessed that it would be
had for him to forgive the Igbo
after witnessing as a six-year child
how his father was humiliated by
Captain Nwaobosi by causing him
to lie down and given thirty-six
lashes of the cane, before he was
led to Akintola’s home. Thus if Femi
Abdulateef Fani-Kayode expresses
an inveterate hatred of the Igbo, he
does that as a consequence of his
father’s gruesome experience be an
Igbo army officer, one can easily
sympathize with him.
But as history is bound to repeat
itself for those who fail to learn
from its lessons, Chief Femi
Abdulateef Fani-Kayode should be
advised to watch his cliff-diving
political despondency, if he does
not wish to learn from his father’s
lessons of history. The Igbo would
wish a real Yoruba- a “son of the
soil” with a culture of untainted
political integrity and traceable
Yoruba ancestry to speak on
matters of Igbo-Yoruba relations,
and not a man of foggy Yoruba
ancestry, a cloned Sierra Leonean
Yoruba of Nupe ancestry, safe for
the benevolence of patchy Yoruba
names. Chief David Oluwafemi
Abdulateef Adewunmi Fani-Kayode
has no better right of ancestral
Lagos State than any Igbo born and
bred there. A Gambari par
excellence.

PoliticsImpeachment Rally Against Jonathan Prevented By Police by Dospix(op): 10:34pm On Jul 28, 2013
A rally meant to persuade the National Assembly to commence impeachment proceedings against President Goodluck Jonathan over the lingering Rivers State crisis was weekend prevented by the Nigerian Police in Abuja.

The protest, which had the support of General Muhammadu Buhari, Tunji Braithwaite, Ben Nwabueze, SAN, Mike Ozekhome, among others, was planned by over 49 groups of eminent Nigerians who fused under an umbrella known as United Nigerians Group, UNG.

The grouse of the group against President Jonathan hinges on the current state of the nation which, according to it, was affected by insecurity.

Amongst other reasons advanced for the protest was also the lingering Rivers State political crisis which the group fingered President Jonathan to be the mastermind.

It further accused the President of lacking the political strength to curtail the insecurity in the country.

Co-Convener of the Mass Protest, Alhaji Shettima Yerima, who spoke to Vanguard condemned the action of the Police which stopped the rally last week.

He said: “The protest was supposed to commence Wednesday last week. But all of a sudden, on Tuesday, we got a letter from Force Headquarters, by the IG restraining us from holding any peaceful protest or rally and what we did to prove that we are law-abiding citizens was to formally write to the Police that we intend to hold a peaceful rally and we are marching down from Berger Round-About to the National Assembly, telling them that we need their protection.

“We are not asking them for permission because we knew that under the constitution, there is a law backing us to hold peaceful protest as free citizens of the country. The next thing we saw was a letter that we are being restrained from organising any rally. It has been banned. To us, we felt it was an abuse of our right.”

Yerima who is also the National President of Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, however, stated that the stoppage was a blessing to them as the group was strategizing and recording an influx of more Nigerians who have invested interest in the rally.

“We are protesting because there are reasons that the present government is long overdue for impeachment. Let me cite a common one. Rivers crisis is enough to impeachment the President. We can state more than 10 reasons but that of Rivers State is worth it and we will ensure that justice is done because we can’t afford to fold our arms and watch some class of people who never fought for democracy to destroy the democracy we made sacrifice for only because they are privilege to be in power.”

Reminded that the Presidency had consistently denied any involvement in the crisis, Yerima said such was already expected.

He said: “Of course, you don’t expect them to admit that they are part of it. They will always claim that they are not part of it. With insecurity, with the kind of casualty situation we are getting, it clearly demonstrates that this President lacks the strength to handle the affairs of the country and to that extent we are saying that Nigerians must rise up and save this country so that it will not be destroyed.

He added that: “We have over 49 organisations that came together and formed this movement as a coalition. We have other resource people that we reaching out to. Already, we are in touch with ASUU. We are moving ahead to meet with people like Buhari, Balarabe Musa, Tunji Braithwaite, Mike Ozekhome, Ben Nwabueze, so many of them. Hopefully, they will be at the rally because, they have shown interest”.

Am trying to figure out the name of the movie,but my memory seem drowsy on this one.

This man thinks he is an icon...he keeps stringing sentences that people don't understand. It is now obvious why he lost in his bid to represent his constituency for the second time. Pej wouldn't even bother to reply him because he is a clown who never makes sense...am wondering: does he normally communicate in this manner with his children.
