Lol….back then I always envied people that live in 1004

It is really no longer as it used to be before mehn

Unease As 1004 Estate Resident Decry Decline in Standard

If the information available is anything to go by,the once, rosy beautiful and well maintained 1004 Estate formerly called 1004 Flats,located in Victoria Island is now mired in a shadow of its once celebrated glory.

Sections of aggrieved residents have in recent time channeled their grievances over the appalling state of the Estate known to the public through various circulations on the social media.

Yet, others such as Messrs Akintunde Adeboye and Avinash as well as Mrs Olajumoke have taken it further by physical contact with a combined statement of their grievances.

In the combined statement titled"Why This Inhumanity and Wickedness On Residents?",one of the complaining residents,Mr Akintunde Adeboye explained that he invested into the Estate in 2006 with the purchase of a 3-Bedroom apartment as a retirement plan to sustain a quality life.He maintained that the Estate then provided 24/7 electricity, clean potable water, functional lifts and that all the services were run with efficient management.

He averred that trouble began when a vicious group which called itself Home Owners & Residents Association took over management of the Estate, promising to lower service charges, but rather later increased service fees incessantly, accompanied with harsh penalties.

Since then, according to the statement,the Estate had deteriorated rapidly with the service charges nearly quadrupled and the Estate torn apart by leadership crisis.

Infrastructure breakdown list provided by them include non- functional generators, sewage issues, broken down lifts and filthy, unhygienic environment.For illustration,4 out of the 5 generators were either burnt down or run aground, leaving the only one serviceable unable to power the Estate.Similarly,80% of the high rise lifts have not been working.The building blocks are faded and decayed because they have not been painted in a long while.Worsestill,are insecurity issues arising from wrong placement of maintenance scaffolds that give unauthorised entry to miscreants to come into the Estate to rob the residents of their property.In the same vein, all the swimming pools are broken down at the moment despite purported huge yearly maintenance contract sums paid by the residents to fix them.

The statement added that the quantum service charges were allegedly misappropriated and complained that in the last 3 years, they had been levied N100k,N200k and N300k for the refurbishment of the Estate and its heavy machinery by the Exco officials of the Association, with very little improvement to show for it.
They alleged lack of transparency in financial accounts whilst any demand asking for accountability was met with utility service disconnection.

The aggrieved residents revealed that there was a general resentment towards the current management team, adding that most of the residents had resolved to break free from what they perceived as unjust treatment.In as much as they have equal rights as the Exco officials as co-owners, they don't see any reason why they should be treated as slaves and be subjected to all manners of payments.They concluded that they were unwilling to keep paying this group for absent services, having experienced continued decline in their property values and the good quality of life they once enjoyed.

In line with its commitment to sustainable initiatives, investing in the wellbeing of people, families and the community at large, PZ Cussons, makers and distributors of quality consumer products and home appliances, organized a 1-day sustainability exercise. The exercise involved the clean-up of its host community in the Ilupeju area of Lagos state recently.

We conduct our business sustainably to meet the needs of the current generation, while ensuring that we’re leaving a better planet and society for those who are to come."

Participants of the cleanup exercise included the PZ leadership team, joined by the charismatic Influencer, Oluwabukunmi Adeaga-Ilori otherwise known as Kiekie, as well as other members of staff, including locals and residents of the community. The cleaning exercise saw the team pick up as many non-biodegradable wastes as possible, such as plastic bags and bottles, tetra packs etc.
Abimbola Odimayo-Olabode, Category Head, Homecare, PZ Cussons, said, “Morning Fresh has been in Nigeria for over 30 years and is committed to caring for those who care, as such, we have extended this narrative to the environment. We get so much from nature so we need to take care of the environment as well."

The sustainability activity included participants rewards for the greatest number of plastic wastes gathered during the cleaning exercise. Participants commended the organisers and particularly Morning Fresh for its commitment to tackling environmental pollution and increasing social awareness of the Nigerian public on the benefits of a healthy, sustainable environment.
Kemi Longe, Head of Marketing, PZ Cussons mentioned that the reward was designed to encourage the residents to put more effort into cleaning the environment. “Through this initiative, we are confident that not only the Ilupeju community, but Nigeria as a whole, will be positively influenced and encouraged to care for the environment one plastic at a time.” She said.

Bet9ja pays out billions, punters win big: Historic weekend has bookmakers reeling!


It was a weekend for the history books, or more accurately, a weekend against the bookies.

Across the nation, sports bettors celebrated as they watched the results roll in, leading to the most significant set of payouts in Nigerian sports betting history.

In a twist that had many rubbing their eyes in disbelief, bookmakers across Nigeria experienced their largest losses ever, thanks to an unprecedented run of results across Europe’s top football leagues.

From the streets of Abuja to the alleys of Lagos, the atmosphere was electric. Punters rejoiced, exchanging stories of their winning bets and the thrill of beating the bookie. It was a moment many had dreamt of, and for once, the punters had emerged victorious.

It all started on Saturday lunchtime, when favourites Liverpool swept aside rivals Everton by two goals to zero in the English Premier League.

Many punters create football bets with combinations of multiple favourites to win. And this was their lucky weekend, as more favourites soon followed suit.

Brentford, Wolves, Manchester City and Newcastle United all won their 3pm fixtures on Saturday, before Manchester United also secured three points at Sheffield United on Saturday evening. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich won in the German Bundesliga and Napoli, Inter Milan and Lazio were successful in Italy’s Serie A.

And the good luck continued for punters into Sunday, with favourites Aston Villa beating West Ham convincingly in the Premier League, before a dramatic late winner from 17-year-old wonder kid Marc Guiu snatched victory for FC Barcelona in a 1-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao in Spain’s La Liga.

As if that wasn’t enough, last night on Monday Night Football, Tottenham Hotspur capped off an incredible weekend for the punters with a. 2-0 victory over Fulham in the English Premier League, completing many winning betting slips in the process.

This freak run of results caused panic among some bookmakers of Nigeria. Such a massive payout could spell disaster for many betting platforms, but leading platforms like Bet9ja showcased their commitment to their customers. Despite the unprecedented loss, Bet9ja stood tall, ensuring that winners were paid promptly. In less than a day, joyous punters found their accounts credited, a testament to Bet9ja's local focus within Nigeria and its dedication to maintaining trust and reliability.

This weekend's results serve as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of sports and the importance of betting on a credible and trustworthy platform. In a world where many are quick to renege on promises, platforms like Bet9ja stand out, ensuring that even in the face of staggering losses, punters are never left in the lurch.

As the dust settles and bookmakers recalibrate, one thing is clear: this past weekend will be etched in the annals of Nigerian sports betting history. It was a moment where David triumphed over Goliath, where punters across the nation could stand tall and say, "We beat the bookie!"

To all those who took a chance, believed in their teams, and came out on top, we salute you. And to platforms like Bet9ja, who remain steadfast in their commitment to their customers, we say thank you. Here's to more weekends of thrilling sports action, unpredictable outcomes, and the indomitable spirit of the Nigerian punter!

IRISH BOARD LAUNCHES €1 MILLION SPIRITS CAMPAIGN IN NIGERIA… as part of trade mission in Africa.

Bord Bia, the Irish Food Board in charge of promoting Irish food and drinks, has officially launched its Spirit of Ireland drinks campaign in Nigeria as part of the Irish government’s 2nd trade mission to West Africa.

The Trade Mission was organized to leverage the success of Irish food and drinks exports to West Africa, of which Nigeria accounts for 36% in Irish dairy, seafood, and drinks.

The 2-day Trade Mission in Lagos, sees the Irish Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue, engage in a series of high-level meetings with the Ministry for Agriculture and Food Security, the United Nations (UN) World Food Programme and a roundtable discussion with the UN Food and Agricultural Organisation. The visit will also see the Minister and Jim O’Toole, the CEO of Bord Bia, engage in a series of commercial meetings and trade engagements aimed at strengthening Ireland’s food market position and business ties in Nigeria.

As part of the trade mission in Nigeria, Bord Bia also launched the Spirit of Ireland campaign, a unique training experience delivered by seasoned drinks experts, to tell the story of Irish spirits. The experience tells the history, the renaissance and the future of Irish spirits and provides you with a unique opportunity to hear from some industry innovators across all categories including Irish whiskey, which is the fastest-growing spirits category in the world.

At the first African launch of the Spirit of Ireland campaign in Lagos, the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue T.D., said: “Given the renaissance Irish spirits is having globally and its growth trajectory in West Africa, launching Spirit of Ireland in Nigeria was the next obvious choice. The programme has been unveiled in seven global markets to date and today’s launch demonstrates Ireland’s commitment to grow the Irish spirits category in the Nigerian market.”
Bord Bia hosted over 15 Irish spirits companies in Lagos, including Jameson, Grace O’Malley, Teeling, Outcast, and The Shed. The CEO of Bord Bia, Jim O’Toole highlighted, “Bord Bia has invested €1 million over the last four years in the Spirit of Ireland and Nigeria is a key export market for Irish drinks in Africa valued at €9 million. Exports of Irish spirits to Nigeria have grown by 200% in the last five years so this programme is being launched at a time when Ireland is front of mind in Nigeria for its whiskey, gin, poitin, and cream liqueur. Through Spirit of Ireland, Bord Bia has developed a dynamic training experience to tell the story of Irish spirits and we are confident that this campaign will positively influence business leads and commercial success for Irish drinks companies in Lagos.”
Irish spirits are now exported to over 130 countries worldwide. Whiskey is the predominant Irish export to Nigeria, accounting for 80% of exports.


Bord Bia is an Irish state agency with the aim of promoting sales of Irish food, drink and horticulture both in Ireland and abroad. Ireland exports 90% of its food and drink, and last year exports amounted to €16.9 billion (euro). Bord Bia works for small producers by promoting and certifying farmers' markets, and for bigger producers by offering international marketing services.

The Devon King’s Low Fat Spread was unveiled on Thursday, January 12th, at the Darlington Hall, Ilupeju, Lagos.

According to the Head of Marketing, PZ Wilmar, Chioma Mbanugo, “At Devon King’s, our purpose is to keep consumers healthy and happy with great tasting, nutritious products, enriched with vitamins and provide consumers with incredible creaminess, building on the excellent taste that binds.

PZ Wilmar has a cutting-edge edible oil refinery which is the largest palm oil refinery in Nigeria and Devon King’s Oil has expanded from its existing variants: the Refined Palm Olein (Vegetable Oil) and Red Palm Oil variants, available in Pillow Pack, Jerry Can & PET packs to the Devon King’s Spread meant to enhance the flavor or texture of meals, which may be considered bland without it.

“We prioritize areas such as easy accessibility and affordability for Devon King’s brand, therefore, the Devon King’s Low-Fat Spread has been produced, and distributed in various economical packs to meet needs of various social class, despite urbanization, rapid increase in population, indulgence and a growing number of confectionery establishments emerging across the country”, Chioma added

Also speaking about the newest addition to the Devon King’s family, Brand Manager, Devon King’s, Mandela Ajuebor said it is the brand’s goal to continuously drive the message of the importance of bonding and togetherness. “We live in a world today where everything is so fast paced that we are losing sight of little things that matter, like spending quality time with family and friends. We believe that food is essential to such gatherings and with Devon King’s, such moments are even more enjoyable. This is why we pride ourselves as “The Taste that Binds” and we are more than happy to provide consumers with the best in variety without compromising on quality and value.”

Re:You Never Reported To Us’ – Nigeria Police Expose How Redeemed Church Pastor Misled Lagos Court In Alleged N1.7Billion Money Laundering Case

REJOINDER BY SHIBAHWELLS ENERGY SERVICES LIMITED

Our attention has been drawn to a spurious and mischievously skewed news item making the rounds in the public space about, and concerning a police report deliberately skewed -in part- to appear as a denial issued by the Zone 2 Command Headquarters of Nigeria Police Force, Onikan, Lagos to a purported assertion made by the undersigned who is the alter ego of Shibahwells Energy Services Limited (‘Shibahwells’) that he requested or applied to the Zone 2 Command Headquarters of Nigeria Police Force, Onikan, Lagos for report cum clarification on allegation of N1.7Billion money laundering.

The sponsored report being published in online news media outlets such as SAHARA REPORTERS https://saharareporters.com/2022/08/22/you-never-reported-us-nigeria-police-expose-how-redeemed-church-pastor-misled-lagos, NEWS DIRECT, HEAD TOPICS NIGERIA, and OPERA NEWS has received prominent attention and sensationalism with the same sensational caption: ‘You Never Reported To Us’—Nigeria Police Expose How Redeemed Church Pastor Misled Lagos Court In Alleged N1.7Billion Money Laundering Case.’

Just as it is with the instant reports, we have in recent past, been inundated with calls by concerned family members, clients, friends, and business associates who have been confounded and confused by similar false and malicious reports from the sponsors published by SAHARA REPORTERS with sensational titles on the same allegation of money laundering. We have ignored such previous reports believing in the saying that: you can run with a lie, but you cannot hide from the truth for it will catch up. Ordinarily, we would not have responded to the tissue of lies but we are now constrained to do so that these falsehoods do not take a mistaken appearance of truth in an otherwise guided move to ignore and choose not to dignify such deliberately concocted lies with any reply.

In issuing this 'rejoinder', it is pertinent to state that the most compelling aim here is to set the facts straight and to prevent the potential of further confounding and confusing the public.It must be clearly stated here that there are 2 different cases on the matter in question that the sponsors of the false publications intentionally want to confuse the public about for obvious reasons.
The 2 cases are:

CASE 1: A case of fraudulent conversion of joint venture funds reported by the undersigned at the Zone 2 Command Headquarters of Nigeria Police Force, Onikan, Lagos for thorough forensic investigation. The result of the police investigation is now subject of criminal prosecution in Charge No. ID/15422C/2021—The State of Lagos vs. Dare Osamo & 2 Others which is pending before Honourable Justice O. Ogala of the High Court of Lagos State, sitting in Ikeja.

CASE 2: A case of money laundering reported by Timi Popoola against the undersigned and Wema Bank Plc at Area ‘G’ Command of Nigeria Police Force, Ogba, Lagos. This case led to Charge No. MIK/B/6/2022—Commissioner of Police v. Adewole Isaac & Kingsley Ananwude which was struck out by Magistrate A.O. Layinka (Mrs.) of Court No. 2, Magistrates Court, Ogba, Lagos on 15th March 2022.

Contrary to the false impression created in the instant media reports, the undersigned who is the alter ego of Shibahwells, never requested or applied to the Zone 2 Command Headquarters of Nigeria Police Force, Onikan, Lagos or any other police formation for report cum clarification on allegation of N1.7Billion money laundering (but he did report a case of fraudulent conversion of joint venture funds as seen in Case 1 above). The undersigned or Shibahwells also never engaged Chief Wale Taiwo or any other person to make such request or application on their behalf.

As for the contents of the media reports which are not only false but malicious, we wish to state as follows:
Shibahwells entered into a joint venture agreement with Star Orient Nigeria Ltd in July 2018. The JVA which was for the sale and supply of aviation turbine kerosine (ATK) was signed on behalf of Star Orient by its 2 pioneer directors and shareholders (Olanrewaju Bamgbose and Dare Osamo).

At the commencement of the joint venture business, it soon turned out that all the representations Star Orient had made to Shibahwells were false and well conceived lies. Contrary to the representations it made, Star Orient was indebted to government agencies, airlines, and several individuals. All the equipment Star Orient claimed it owned were well conceived lies and soon disappeared once the joint venture started. Star Orient had no funds and had used the company’s name to deceive many unsuspecting individuals and companies of their hard-earned money.

Without any financial contributions whatsoever from the duo of Olanrewaju Bamgbose and Dare Osamo to either Star Orient or the joint venture business, funds injected into the joint venture by Shibahwells through bank facility was used to purchase most of the equipment which Star Orient now claim ownership. Yet, joint venture funds were diverted through fraudulent means. Funds injected into the joint venture came from facility Shibahwells took from Wema Bank after providing securities such as title deeds of landed properties of the undersigned and that of his friends including Timi Popoola who for valuable consideration, voluntarily released the title deed to his property in Magodo G.R.A. Phase II, Lagos as part of the securities for the facility Shibahwells obtained from Wema Bank. Part of the valuable consideration being insurance brokerage contracts worth several millions of naira facilitated by the undersigned for Timi Popoola’s Dove Insurance Brokers Ltd.

Contrary to the spurious publication, Shibahwells never undertook to return Timi Popoola’s title deed within 6 months!Despite the false representations by Star Orient, Shibahwells continued to supply ATK products and provided financing for the operations of the joint venture using the facility it obtained from Wema Bank until it discovered fraudulent diversion of joint venture funds. Apart from impacting negatively on the joint venture business, this development affected Shibahwells’ ability to finance the facility with Wema Bank.


As a responsible and law-abiding corporate entity, Shibahwells notified Wema Bank and those who provided the additional securities for the bank facility including Timi Popoola. In addition, Shibahwells reported the matter at the Zone 2 Command Headquarters of Nigeria Police Force, Onikan, Lagos for thorough forensic investigation. The result of the police investigation is now subject of criminal prosecution in Charge No. ID/15422C/2021—The State of Lagos vs. Dare Osamo & 2 Others which is pending before Honourable Justice O. Ogala of the High Court of Lagos State, sitting in Ikeja.

During investigation at the Zone 2 Police Command, Dare Osamo re-iterated that he and Olanrewaju Bamgbose have no financial contribution/investments in Star Orient and in the joint venture; that they are proxies for one Tunde Babalola. Olanrewaju Bamgbose denied this assertion, but he admitted he did not contribute a dime to the joint venture neither did he make any financial contributions /investment to Star Orient nor pay for the shares allotted to him in the company.

Although he was constantly briefed of the turn of events, Timi Popoola at this point, demanded for a return of his title deed which he had voluntarily released (for valuable consideration) as additional collateral to secure the facility Shibahwells obtained from Wema Bank. Apart from explaining to him on the need to be patient with the bank in view of the fraudulent diversion of the joint venture funds at the instance of Star Orient, Shibahwells also took steps to retrieve the 2 additional third-party collaterals including that of Timi Popoola in exchange for a title deed offered by Star Orient, but which also turned out to be title deed over a non-existent landed property.

The process of retrieval of the 2 additional third-party collaterals led to reconciliation of Shibahwells’ loan account with Wema Bank by an independent auditor who in the process of the account reconciliation, discovered some credit and debit postings in the loan account which the bank stated to be transfers made in error and which were reversed on each occasion the erroneous transfers occurred on the account.

Although he was informed of the bank’s explanation to the erroneous transfers, Olanrewaju Bamgbose mischievously took the view that the funds transferred in and out of the Shibahwells’ loan account may have been Covid-19 bailout funds provided by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for the aviation industry. To Timi Popoola who was also informed of the bank’s explanation to the erroneous transfers, the development presented an opportunity to blackmail Wema Bank and, to embarrass one of its directors with whom he claimed to have an unresolved personal feud.

When the undersigned and his company (Shibahwells) did not yield to their inordinate quest to blackmail the bank, Olanrewaju Bamgbose provided Timi Popoola with a copy of the Shibahwells’ loan account statement with which the latter used in his petition to the Area ‘G’ Command of Nigeria Police Force, Ogba, Lagos sometime in October/November 2021 alleging N1.7Billion money laundering against the undersigned and Wema Bank. Timi Popoola’s choice of Area ‘G’ Command of Nigeria Police Force, Ogba, Lagos as the place to lodge the petition was deliberate because the Area Commander, ACP Ibrahim Zungura is Timi Popoola’s friend and tenant at Plot 4B, Block 92, Naomi Thomas Street, Peace Valley Zone, Magodo G.R.A. Phase II, Lagos.

On Wednesday 9th February 2022, the undersigned and the bank’s head of oil and gas were arraigned before Magistrate A.O. Layinka (Mrs.) of Court No. 2, Magistrates Court, Ogba, Lagos on 4-count charge of stealing and money laundering in Charge No. MIK/B/6/2022—Commissioner of Police v. Adewole Isaac & Kingsley Ananwude. The criminal charge was subsequently struck out on the strength of the legal advice by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) stating that no prima facie case was found against the defendants. The DPP after an extensive review of the duplicate case file provided by ACP Ibrahim Zungura, stated that the defendants were arrested based on rumour by Timi Popoola and nothing more! The DPP stated further that there is insufficient evidence to predicate the offences upon which a criminal charge was brought before the Court.Since the case was struck out at the Magistrates Court, Ogba.

Timi Popoola and Olanrewaju Bamgbose who are disgruntled, would stop at nothing to use especially the electronic media to vilify the undersigned and Wema Bank. Even after the case had been struck out by the Court, Timi Popoola and Olanrewaju Bamgbose out of desperation, caused ACP Ibrahim Zungura to issue a police report skewed to indict the undersigned and Wema Bank. Not satisfied, the two men have repeatedly made futile efforts at discrediting the DPP’s legal advice alleging that the DPP was misled by a petition to the Attorney General of Lagos State from Solicitors to the undersigned calling on the State to investigate the collusion between Timi Popoola and ACP Ibrahim Zungura and the circumstances surrounding the trumped-up charge at the Magistrates Court.

Out of deliberate mischief and in a futile effort at frustrating the earlier mentioned CASE 1 which is scheduled for continuation of hearing at the High Court of Lagos State, Ikeja on 10th October 2022, Timi Popoola and Olanrewaju Bamgbose have continued to sponsor spurious and mischievously skewed online news using unsuspecting media houses such as SHAHARA REPORTERS alleging that the legal advice by the DPP in respect of CASE 2 was issued under the mistaken belief that CASE 1 is the same as CASE 2.

Despite being aware, having been served with court papers in a civil court action commenced by the undersigned at the High Court of Lagos State in Suit No. ID /8794GCMW/2022—Isaac Adewole v. Timi Popoola & 2 Others, Timi Popoola has continued to use the media and other extra judicial means against the undersigned and Wema Bank. As for Olanrewaju Bamgbose who never invested a dime in Star Orient or in the joint venture but has drawn over N20Million from the joint venture business within 2 years, he has made repeated but failed attempts at hijacking the joint venture business through extra judicial means. He has also been inundating the joint venture customers and the regulator with correspondences containing disparaging and false contents about the person of the undersigned and Shibahwells despite being aware, having been served with court papers in a recent court action commenced by the undersigned at the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos in Suit No. FHC/L/CS/136/2022- Isaac Trenchard Adewole v. Star Orient Nigeria Limited & 3 Others.

As of date, the joint venture (as previously managed by Star Orient) is still indebted to Shibahwells in the sum of over N1.5Billion. Whilst Olanrewaju Bamgbose motivated by avarice and malice, has continued to take steps towards frustrating the joint venture business; Shibahwells through the undersigned, has continued with management of the joint venture using funds from family members, friends, and business associates all with a view to keeping the joint venture business running so as to repay creditors including Wema Bank and to ensure the sustenance of its workforce.

The above narrative being a true and accurate account of the facts and events on this matter, we have instructed our Solicitors to take appropriate steps known to law, to checkmate the purveyors of the false and malicious media reports and their sponsors.

Whilst urging the public to ignore such media reports, we remain resolute in our belief that truth is buoyant, and no matter how hard one may try to suppress it with falsehood or drown with propaganda, it will always come out. It may take years or decades!
