The sad thing is that most of these money went offshore to countries like India. We still have a long way to go in IT skills acquisition. Many computer science and IT graduates of Nigerian universities are not properly equipped. Few good IT companies have little patience for mentoring young graduates also. They are looking for fully-formed professionals which is not too good. Info Tech is a gold mine that could lift many Nigerians from poverty but unfortunately, we are not properly tapping into it.

Rubbish report. Akidi is Ugandan. BBC will hardly post a West African to head their East African unit.

My dear brother, when Buhari went to court to contest the result of the 2003 presidential election, the Court of Appeal nullified the Ogun State result of the presidential election saying that it was massively rigged in favour of Obasanjo. The court went on to deduct Ogun State vote count from the overall total but Obasanjo still had majority votes.

On this note, considering that the governorship and the presidential election took place simultaneously, we can deduct that if Osoba had gone to court to contest the governorship election, it would have been nullified also. I am not supporting either party, I just stated what happened at the court. So stop saying that OGD won free and fare.

I still believe OGD won the first term. OGD was very popular then and he won all the polling booth around my area. I monitored that election closely. Although I think he didn't win in 2007 but he won 2003.

I don't understand what they mean by Obasanjo betraying them in 2003. OGD won fair and square in Ogun State in 2003. Prior to that election, Osoba showed himself to be arrogant and many people felt he under performed between 1999 to 2003. When people like Okurounmu say OBJ betrayed them in 2003, do they mean that people's votes should not matter?

Check the link below. An Igbo man is a director in GTB, there are directors from the North also.

[quote author=globemoney post=63497191]Can you publish for us to see. There is a Yoruba man in Innoson board, that I can confirm [/quote

Check the link. There is no Yoruba man there.

I have just gone through the board composition of Guarantee Trust Bank otherwise known as GTB and the Redeemed Church only to discover there is no federal character in the composition of these boards, as a matter of fact, no Igbo man is part of these boards whereas most of the contributors of these organizations are people from the east. This is uncharitable.
I think that the time has come in this country that any organization that excludes a people from its organization board should not be allowed to operate in that region.
I’m particularly disappointed in Redeemed Church being a Christian organization. The federal government must do something about this immediately!

Is there federal character at Innoson, Fidelity and Assemblies of God?

Is that all I don't believe that is all

I hope IPOB won't blame Buhari and APC for this.

Your head though . Congrats!

Family don pafuka be that. By the way, don't trust any uncle with your children. I have seen cases of teenage ladies sexually abusing young boys too.

NwaChibuzor:
Ifeanyi Rapu. I've never seen a yo*uba man do so well and attain greatness internationally. When it comes to greatness and good reputation, the igbos lead the way.

See this local boy foaming in his mouth just because of a sergeant in the US Army. The funny thing about some tribalists like you is that you comb the internet looking for people of your tribe and paste their "achievements" on NL. I hail your self esteem. The fact is that here in the US, there are lots of Nigerians doing well in top places and they represent different tribes.
If we are to go by what some of you post here, one will be grossly misinformed.

GTB is at fault here. However, I shudder at seeing some comment tribalizing the whole issue. Issues like this happens a lot in the business world but making this look like a persecution makes me weak I swear.

Why address the issue politically? Why can't they seek redress in a court of law? Every profession has its ethics and code of conduct. Law is not for everyone. After-all the Sharia courts don't admit women as counsels. There is a great politics behind religion in Nigeria.

Years of thorough banging of her vagina has finally paid..

Forming NwaAmaikpe for "likes". Your inferiority complex no be for here.

Good

We pay little attention to mental health in Nigeria. This is more than child abuse.

Linda Ikeji wey dey carry every news no go carry this one for her blog.

Creepy!

Lol @ Rochas. When did this man become a spiritual father. This man is a clown I swear!

Many women are experts in abuse. This kind of a thing is very common in many homes and victims are usually house-girls, step children and relatives. The irony is that these same women will scream to high heavens if their husbands or partners reset them to default settings with slaps. They are also the ones shouting everywhere that "a man should never raise his hand against a woman". What an hypocritical set.

LordOfNaira:
Can I really call it regret

I left my job to pursue a PhD. Things were so hard financially that I began to regret my decisions. But it ended well. I met that wonderful woman, we got married and we are expecting a child next year.

@bolded, did you quit your job for PhD this year or you finished it this year. Congrats on your marriage.

Celebration of mediocrity . Why must you guys in Nigeria wait till the night to take pictures of your over-hyped places?

The yoots are coming for him.

That lady(woman) with red head tie looks cute.

I don't know why NL is stalking this girl. Why not let her be?

lol@ "we are doing the same work" Wetin concern gun wielding SARS with Sarz on the beat ?
