Very nice

KingOfAmebo:
Sequel to the agitations by Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) for a Biafran Country, It is unfortunate that man at some point in life get tired of peace and would gladly embrace violence and death, but isnt it cruel for a person or group of people to embark on a mission that would bring about the death of millions of people, young and old, mothers and children...case study The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War, (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970).

http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/civil-war-in-nigeria

It is well documented how Late Lieutenant Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu lead 1 million Igbos to their early graves, he fled the country but later returned to dine with the same country he went to war with (1 million souls sacrificed for a pot of porridge). Nnamdi Kanu is no different judging by his demeanor, his speeches and relatively unknown background..

When people fail to ask questions they become tools. Is Nnamdi Kanu chasing a personal agenda at the detriment of sacrificing the lives of his Igbo brothers and sisters? read between the line in his recent speech.


"I gave a speech in Aba, Abia State on Sunday and I made it absolutely clear that the boycott stays. We must boycott election in Anambra State.It is our civic responsibility to do so and that’s what we are going to do – total and absolute boycott, to let the whole world understand the strength of IPOB on the ground, in Anambra State" Nnamdi Kanu.

Is this not what Boko Haram tried to achieve? claim a territory, establish a government in a government...how is this not a treasonable act? one may ague he is not using violence to achieve this but his next speech doesn't suggest he wont use violence if given the chance:

"I don’t care! Quote me verbatim.If I’m re-arrested, this country will burn, I assure you. From where that oil money they depend on, they can no longer have access to it. I assure them that. This is not empty threat. We’re IPOB, we don’t abandon our own". Nnamdi Kanu

http://sunnewsonline.com/nnamdi-kanu-explodes-nigeria-ll-burn-if-im-re-arrested/

He successfully roped himself with those words. Give a proud, over ambitious and desperate man a microphone, sit back and watch him destroy himself. Sadly, United Nations(UN) cannot save him from this cowardice.

So, why wouldn't the Nigerian government want to go to "another civil war" with Biafra? A wise Father would consider the cost of hospital bills should he hit his child so hard because the child offends him.

President Buhari is indeed patient and has transformed to become a peace loving man, you know why? he is probably considering the above analogy.

may amadioha strike you do you know how pained I am seeing this pix, some people just upload pix and say rubbish just to make a selfish point. You can't scare an Igbo man with pix of war you will only anger him more into aggression seeing how his people died this is the problem of Nigeria government they try to scare Biafra's with pix of war forgetting how the mindset of and average Igbo man operate. Nigeria government needs to apologise to the Igbo nation and Biafra's starting from buhari he should broadcast it live from there watch how the nation will be healed not by reminding them how you killed there father's and sisters on national TV.

Cc lalastica let's celebrate our fellow Nigerian making us proud front page

Obi Okeke and Floyd Mayweather.Obi Okeke

Obi Okeke first came to the United States as a 5-year-old refugee during the Nigerian Civil War in 1967. His mother, from Ohio, was able to leave the country with him, but his father, who was born in Nigeria, stayed to fight.

Over four decades later, Okeke, now 53, is a fixture in the luxury automobile industry, dealing in cars that cost millions and selling to clients like Floyd Mayweather.

After that first move to the US, Okeke returned with his family to Nigeria, where he stayed until attending a private high school in Switzerland.

And that's when he discovered great cars.

While in Switzerland, Okeke developed a love for European wheels. By the time he was 15, his teachers had already known that he would end up in the car business, he said. Following high school, Okeke came back to the US and started college at Northeastern University in Boston, although he did not graduate from the school.

When he was 21 years old, Okeke conducted the first of many car deals he'd close in his career. He purchased a BMW 323i Alpina and was able to sell it for a profit of nearly four times what he paid. The transaction was encouraging.

As you would expect for a car salesman, it took some time for him to work his way up to the status of being a salesman of supercars and the co-owner of a dealership. And he bounced around a lot: from Chevy to Dodge to Volkswagen to Lexus to BMW to Mercedes - and his last stop before opening his own place, to Ferrari-Maserati.

Following six years as the general manager of Ferrari-Maserati in Calabasas, California, Okeke in 2012 cofounded Fusion Luxury Motors in North Los Angeles with a man named Yoel Wazana.

Why Fusion is different

Fusion Luxury Motors is a specialty dealership that sells cars that are geared for collectors, Okeke said. Currently in its inventory, car prices range from $49,000 to $3.8 million.

The inventory, however, hasn't been acquired by way of auction, which is a route many dealers take. In fact, Okeke says he's never bought from an auction. Rather, about 98% of the inventory comes from private parties, and the remaining 2% from dealers, he said.

"When you're in the business for as long as I've been, you meet a lot of people," Okeke said. "When I came here, people knew about me. I've been very fortunate to build a deep client database for finding cars."

When the dealership opened in 2012, it only could only display up to five cars. By April 2013, though, it had moved into a 12,000 square foot show room that can hold 45 cars.

That means a lot of growth for Fusion and a lot of vehicle acquisitions for Okeke and Wazana, all of which come out-of-pocket. But still, Okeke doesn't see his car dealership as competing with the larger Los Angeles-based dealers because "the market is big enough for everyone."

"We're just a small dealership trying to be the best at what we're doing," Okeke said. "We're not just focusing only on selling a ton of cars."

What truly makes Fusion different than a regular car dealership is the turnaround time required, or lack thereof. Okeke says a normal car, like a Toyota Corolla, has to be sold in 45-90 days or it starts losing value. His strategy is different.

"My cars aren't dropping in value," he said. "They're going up. So I really don't worry about turnaround time."

Normally, however, a "low-end" car at Fusion, which is under $150,000, takes between two and four months to sell, Okeke said. Higher end cars that are often eclipsing $1 million generally take between six months and a year and a half. Of course there are exceptions, though, like the $1.9 million Koenigsegg he sold in less than 30 days.

Mayweather is easily Okeke's biggest-name client. He says Mayweather will stop in about once a month just to see what's available and if there is anything he wants to buy.

Okeke said he doesn't sell to a lot of celebrities, even though they stop in to look every now and then, just as Keith Urban did a few weeks ago. And the business plan behind Fusion explains why.

The strategy is to sell high-quality, rare luxury cars to car collectors, not just to deal expensive supercars to celebrities that have the money.

"Celebrities may buy a Range Rover or Aston Martin or something, but that doesn't mean they care about cars or want to collect," Okeke said. "My buyers are people who have a true passion."

Despite being one of the biggest names in sports, Mayweather falls into that category. His car collection features three Bugattis and many other of the premium car brands, like Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Rolls-Royce.

In total, Mayweather has bought at least 40 cars from Okeke. Most recently, Mayweather purchased a Koenigsegg CCXR Triveta from Okeke for $4.8 million, according to the boxer's Instagram. Okeke confirmed the purchase but could not disclose the price.

Previously, the most expensive car he's ever sold, also to Mayweather, was a 2003 Ferrari Enzo. The car was advertised at the time for $3.2 million, although Okeke couldn't disclose the final selling price. Mayweather has since listed the car for sale with Fusion, which just sold at an advertised price of $3.8 million.

Lifelong enjoyment

Cars have been the one major passion of Okeke's since he was a young boy, and that has never changed. When he started in car sales, he said it wasn't for financial reasons, it was simply to be surrounded by cars.

"Once I found out I was good at what I was doing, I really just wanted to get to the top," Okeke said. "I didn't know how to, but I just kept trying and trying."

Personally, he doesn't collect cars. He's satisfied with being around them all day at work and helping others find the car of their dreams.

Do you agree with his comment..

TheLawTheLegal:
Your bias wouldn't let you know that you have already contradicted yourself.
My dear people of God
and
My dear citizens
have totally different meanings.
my dear people of God acknowledges that the people belong to God while my dear citizens means that the masses belong to Mr president.
Have you heard any president address their citizens as my dear citizens, instead of my fellow citizens?

the right word should be my fellow citizens

Will you sell 2.3m

RoyalUc:
Alright. Since you don't want to put me in line, let me display my ignorance if that will help you enlighten me.
Nigeria is a sovereign state and it is the duty of any government to protect the dignity of the nation.
Our national pledge reads: I pledge to Nigeria my country. To be faithful, loyal and honest.
To serve Nigeria with all my strength.
To DEFEND her UNITY, and upold her honour and glory.
So, help me God.
To defend means to defend.

OK let me help you because the national pledge you are quoting now I bet you 70percent or higher can't qoute it without looking at the paper many have forgotten it the love for this country is degrading and you quoting the pledge is out of point.. You don't force a people to be in a system government that does not favour them and you tell them not to speak and when they do by protesting you use live ammunition on them shedding the citizens blood you swore to protect on the streets to silence them. A government that does not value life can't protect life.

RoyalUc:
What do you understand by Nigeria's unity is not negotiable?

please you that know explain? Am waiting..

How can a leader say a country unity can't be negotiable only slaves can't negotiate there conditions of living from their masters and I refuse to be a slave we the youths are educated wiser and smatter now we should not let our so called leaders keep deceiving us with a 50yrs of propaganda,deceits and lies, now to be a Nigerian means you are a nobody your life is meaningless you are worthless. Its easier to wake up who is sleeping than waking up someone who is pretending to be sleeping,our youths are prentending to be sleeping when will you guys stop pretending to br sleeping wake up now and If you believe you are not a slave and you want to negotiate your being a Nigerian speak up share and like.

HungerBAD:
Well spoken.

Spoken like a true leader. I especially love the part where he said we should not let some elements(like Nnamdi Kanu)start trouble,and when it gets hot they will disappear.

The illiterates,touts and mostly brainwashed bottom of the food chain following Kanu about,seems not to realize the scammer has a British Passport,and carries it with him in his pocket just incase he needs to run away fast.

And for those people following him,and know nada. The British Passport is Visa free to 173 Countries. That means,the scammer Kanu can lead you guys into a place of no return and then buy a ticket and disappear to one of the 173 Visa free Countries his passports entitles him to.

While his followers can only run from Onitsha to Mgbidi,or at most Enugu.

Keep listening and following the criminal.

you are a full blown zombie, what have you benefitted from Nigeria government from your date of birth till this day if not lies and propaganda.. I can sense pride in the utterance of pmb orchestrated from the northern writer of the speech he did not speak as a leader, You don't force a people to stay with you let them know what they could benefit for being a nigerian and not some nonsense history story how ojukwu visited you ..

Tolexander:

Alcatraz005:
Ok. Sorry ma. This is the best I could muster. I just couldn't do any better. The most important thing is that I passed my message across.

you passed a senseless message, so when a set of people ask for referendum now means war,what exactly do you know about war, how many research have you made about foreign European and other foreign countries that seceded how many went to war.. How is asking for freedom becomes seeking for war all this hate sick children of Nigeria because of Igbo you were awake all night because of the hate you have for them its because of people like you I don't want to be a Nigerian..
