Everyone that will react outside the entertainment industry, will do it just to be relevant and in the news.


If he was not contesting, he will not be reacting.

That s mit correct!

Atiku is not a novice when it comes to entertainment , and more so, he is close to the people of baba sala stock.

By extension, he is in-law- Titi Abubakar in Ilesa, Osun state

PROFILE


APC governorship candidate in Lagos state, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, was born on June 25, 1965 in Lagos. He had a fairly good upbringing, in the midst of a well groomed christian family.

Most of Sanwo-Olu’s education life has been in Lagos. He graduated from the prestigious University of Lagos, where he studied and obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Surveying. Shortly after obtaining his B.Sc., he proceeded to acquire his masters degree. He re-enrolled into the University of Lagos and duly obtained his MBA in Surveying.

While Sanwo-Olu is a trained and certified surveyor, he has a strong knack for business. He enrolled at the Lagos Business School, where he acquired his advanced business training and duly obtained his degree in Business Administration. He also attended the Business School in London, where he obtained his MBA.

Sanwo-Olu, as a corporate guru who knows the importance of governance, enrolled at the United States’ Kennedy Institute of Government. He was aptly trained in the area of government administration and civil responsibilities.

Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who is a trained Surveyor, started his career on a much different path. He was able to carve out a desired career path for himself and subsequently started out as a banker. He was, to say the least, highly successful in his chosen field of banking.

Sanwo-Olu’s Banking Career

Sanwo-Olu is well known for his success in the banking sector, with banking experience spanning well over a decade. He took up several roles and served in various capacities in three top commercial banks in Nigeria; First City Monument Bank (formerly known as First Atlantic Bank), United Bank of Africa (UBA) and Lead Bank PLC.

Babajide Sanwo-Olu‘s highlights as a banker started in the mid 1990s. He was appointed/promoted to the position of a Treasurer at the Lead Bank PLC. In this capacity, Sanwo-Olu was tasked with the prime responsibilities of overseeing the Liquid asset of the financial institution. He was also tasked with the daily management of the overall funding requirements of the bank. His tenure in this role lasted for only three years. He left the role in 1997 and subsequently left the bank for UBA.

While at the United Bank of Africa (one of Africa’s leading banks then and now), Babajide Sanwo-Olu rose to the rank of a Senior Executive Manager. He doubled as the Chief Head of UBA’s Money Market (Foreign). His primary responsibility in this role entailed management of UBA’s Liquidity and profit enhancement.

The Lagos state Governorship aspirant also headed UBA’s Strategic team. His team oversaw the bank’s entire investment banking among other important functions. Sanwo-Olu achieved significant success in his executive position at UBA and another top bank came calling for his services, with a much better offer.

Sanwo-Olu became the Deputy General Manager of First Atlantic Bank PLC (now First City Monument Bank – FCMB). He was charged with the responsibility of liaising with top companies in the country, as an expert Corporate financial analyst and advisor.

After about a decade at the top of the Nigerian banking sector, Sanwo-Olu decided to opt for a career transition, with the aim of infiltrating other private and public sectors.

Babajide Sanwo-Olu Career in the Private Sector

While, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has had his fair share of success in the Banking sector, he was equally successful in other businesses he ventured into, in the private sector. In fact, he was more successful in his other career endeavours in the private line.

Armed to the teeth with his corporate certifications, membership and experience, his success in the private sector is no fluke. He is a certified member of prominent management institutes in the country. Sanwo-Olu was trained in Personnel Management and holds the prominent membership certificate of CIPM (Certificate in Investment Performance Measurement). This is in addition to his certification by NITAD (Nigerian Institute of Training and Development).

Over the past 15 years, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has served as a board member of several top companies in Lagos and Nigeria as a whole. Apart from being a board member, he also acted in a consulting managerial capacity (chairman) for some of these firms. Some of these firms include:

PowerCap consulting – a private power consulting company in Lagos.COSG – Caverton Offshore Services Group (Sanwo-Olu was a board member).Baywaych Group of companies – Constructions and Real estate (Sanwo-Olu acted in the capacity of a Chairman).LLNL-Light Level Nigerian Limited – a private digital solution firm (Sanwo-Olu acted in a directorial capacity).First Class Group – with specialty in cooling mechanism. A support firm of many telecom giants in Nigeria.Wow! Interiors – Interior design and house planning.Beryl Shelter – a real estate coy.

The above are some of the top companies, where Babajide Sanwo-Olu held (or still holds) stakes. In some of these companies, he was the CEO/Chairman/Director. In others, he was only a stakeholder.

While Babajide Sanwo-Olu has been extremely successful in the private sector, his exploits in the public sphere has, thus far, been much more successful.

Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s Career in the Public Sector

This part of Sanwo-Olu’s career is by far the most significant. This portion of his career and the inherent achievements have stood him out. These have constituted the major highlights of his campaign. His exploits in the public space is, without doubt, his selling point in his quest of becoming the most powerful individual in West Africa’s richest city, Lagos.

Sanwo-Olu has been hailed by many as an apt specialist in the areas of human development and strategic planning. He has acted in several capacities in the Lagos state government from 2003 to date.

In 2003, during the tenure of Lagos state’s godfather, Tinubu, Babajide Sanwo-Olu was appointed as a Special Adviser by Tinubu’s deputy, Femi Pedro. He acted in the capacity of Special Adviser to the deputy governor on Corporate matters. This appointment set him up politically for the best thing to come. Fifteen years down the line, he’s became the favoured choice to take up the mantle of leadership in Lagos state.

A couple of years after his appointment, Sanwo-Olu was given the directive to oversee the ministry of Economic Planning and Budget, in an acting capacity.

Four years after his political appointment, he was appointed by the outgoing governor, Tinubu, as a substantive commissioner, to head the Lagos state Ministry of Commerce and Industry. The ministry is arguably the most important unit of the Lagos state government, with regards to its work functions.

After the 2007 election came Babatunde Raji Fashola, a candidate handpicked by Tinubu. Fashola relieved Sanwo-Olu of his role as the commissioner of Commerce and Industry. He, however, reappointed him to head the ministry of Establishment, Training and Pensions. Sanwo-Olu held this office for good 8 years. He left the office in 2015, after the expiration of Fashola’s governorship tenure.

As emphasized above, from 2003 to 2015 (12 full years), Babajide Sanwo-Olu has been involved in the core operations and governance of Lagos state. He has worked successfully with two past governors of the state, Tinubu and Fashola. He, however, faces a more challenging ordeal, in his quest to oust the incumbent governor and fellow party member, Akinwunmi Ambode.

Sanwo-Olu was serving as Managing Director of Lagos State Property Development Company. A government owned setup, which oversees housing and urban development in Lagos state.

Sanwo-Olu Family

Sanwo-Olu, who hails from a Christian home, is happily married with kids. Babajide Sanwo-Olu is married to Dr. (Mrs) Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, their marriage is blessed with four kids.

Blood washed Christian in Nigeria..? I am still thinking..

Its clear you don't know what this mean by yiur response. I assume (through your submission) you wont understand!

*EDUCATIVE JOKE.*

A sign board outside a restaurant reads..

"Eat as much as you can, your grand children will pay the bill"

A man eantered the restaurant and ate so much to a very large amount of money. He asked for a very expensive wine to wash the food down, and thereafter took a tooth pick and was relaxing...

The waiter walk to him and gave him a bill of N48,670. He laughed, pointed to the sign board & said; "'Don't u see?, ' my grandchildren will pay' "

The waiter replied, "Sir, this is not your bill, it's ur grandfathers' bill". What!!! The man shouted

As you step into d election day come 2019, think of the good of your grandchildren, and how you will affect the unborn generation positively. Vote for the best person and not necessarily the party.
Be wise with your vote, and save Nigeria.

God bless

Pls share to reach all Nigerians

Gboy101:
this is exactly how the north estimate their population and voters. APC members are not even up to 20,000 nationwide. how come they are pulling million votes in their imaginary primary. they are not even ashamed of the blatant lies they are dishing.

While I am trying to be apolitical here, I must not gloss of your display of ignorance (regardless of how many IGNORANT LIKES you got).
You mean apc has not up to 20000?

Do you the meaning of direct primary?
Do you know how much was the result between Sanwo-olu and Ambode in lagos alone?

Ambode is clearly forcing the laugh. Inside the man is dying.

Delegates for Saturday’s presidential convention of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Port Harcourt have complained about hunger occasioned by inability of the convention’s welfare committee failed to distribute snacks and water across the delegates.
The delegates who expressed anger over the manner they are being treated despite their early arrival at Adokiye Amiesiekema stadium, noted that even bottled water brought did not go around and the security arrangement in the stadium did not oes not allow for easy movement.
ADVERTISEMENT
The convention has been delayed as leaders of the party and aspirants are said to be holding a crucial meeting to iron out some conflicting issues before the convention.
Some delegates in Cross River, Delta, Ebony and Edo states, told Daily Trust that they are bitter because welfare committee would have been very active to prevent anybody from collapsing because of starvation.

As the time of filling this report, a van suspected to have carried some foods is packed inside the main bowl of the stadium, but protocol operators are not.

Can someone tell me starvation of whst?
Food?
Bunch of gluttons, you still expect someone who is raining dollars on you to go look for food?
It is not your fault, they would have bombarded you with surplus food in place of dollars

Buhari is jittery.

He will align with anything to win 2019. But He will lose

Yiu mean president buhari aligns with Anyim for survival because anyim geographical and international electoral value?
Or you just always like to spew trash?

TooNoisy:
I still dont want to believe Wike wants to force Tambuwal on PDP. If Wike eventually succeeds then it means he is working for APC. Tambuwal has no chance against Buhari.

Atiku, Saraki and Kwankwaso will be tougher opponents for Buhari than Tambuwal. Tambuwal wouldnt even win Sokoto State against Buhari.

Sara what? if u talk atiku or kwankwaso, may be 65% but saraki e nor go reach 20%

Ghanaian singer Wendy Shay has reacted to a viral picture showing her buttocks which flipped open while she was performing on stage at the grind finale of the Miss Ghana pageantry.

The picture drew a lot of reactions from Ghanaians who mocked Wendy Shay for having a rotten black buttocks.

The 'Uber Driver' hitmaker has however responded to the viral Image with claims that it was photoshopped by individuals with evil plans to destroy her hard work.



https://www.wotzup.ng/2018/10/wendy-shay-rotten-black-buttocks/

Ok, lets agree its photoshopped and that your bum is ravishing, succulent. Is it the holy God- Jehovah that gives you such a talent to display your yansh to the multitude?
To win souls to heaven or hell?

Satan is actually THE master of deception.
How deceived, bewitched, deluded she and her likes have become by Satan!

Lady, kindly know that you are one of the chief servants of the devil- his General AND your 'presentable' yansh is a DRAGNET of souls to hell.

This God that i know and follow can/will/shall NEVER equip, arm, endow bless, decorate you with a yansh for such dark display even if you like, you fit dey go dey display am for ya/una 'church'. He is holy

Hello, i really need information on the operational schedule of Carlcare in Opebi Ikeja from Monday to Saturday.
When do they attend to those who have faulty phones
When does one go back to collect it.
Thank you

That's all she has and that'd all that matters to him AND if the 1st pic is well dissected, you will 'see' the satisfactory posture of tgr rod of oranmiyan from behind. And he has nothing more substantial than that!

No wonder, after 4 weeks, there will arise an irreconcilliable difference -the backside cant bring other longings and she has nothing else on this earth. OR she has had enof of the massive deek and he really doesn't have anything else to make her happy.

Ambode's Many Crimes

How dare Ambode make constant salary payment to Lagos workers even in recession?

And he dared to go building Jubilee Bridges*... Abule Egba and Ajah...

So the best way to use money for party men is to instead use it for the people and have Berger Interchange reconstruction...

He dared to Light Up Lagos. How will Tinubu take Lagos politicians to dark corners to swear juju to be loyal to him if Ambode puts light everywhere? Does he not know the value of dark areas for such rituals and even for party touts to be raping girls? Is this not dividend of APC rule for boys to be able to ...

He INSIDIOUSLY reconstructed Oshodi Transport Hub

Who does he think he is to be redeveloping Ijora, Yaba, Oyingbo bus stop? Did the agberos complain to him that they did not like it the way it was?

And imagine the cancerous-like GROWTH of Lay bys and new bus stops. Did people tell him they did not like waiting in hot sun and rain?

And he was trying to make Lagos the safest city in Africa. How will boys chop if they cannot steal phones from women coming from church-organized vigil. So inconsiderate of area boys

And that serial 114 inner city road projects in all LGA LCDAs... Road cannot have potholes again, road that was in one corner jejely and not disturbing anyone. He is coming to inner city. Do millionaires live in inner city? Why not concentrate on VGC and Island?

Just look at him "Lagos Office of Civic Engagement and Lagos Global Office..." nonsense.

Lagos Art Projects. All our children should be in sciences. Who art epp? How many people can afford painting these days?

*Pensioners that will soon die, he fully settled them and they are happy with him. Oya they should come and vote for him. Who cares about old people? So what if they are our fathers and mothers. Their time has passed jor.

VIO and FRSC harassment that we all use to enjoy. How will VIO and FRSC boys chop now? Should they become armed robbers

21 Alimosho roads with two bridges. Can you imagine? Two. Is it bridge boys will chop? Does bridge have protein?

The network of roads in Epe. Epe!!! Network of roads. This man wants to give poor people all Lagos money meant for the rich.

Badagry Marina and Epe Marina projects. Are those places even Lagos? Mtchewwww.

The network of roads in Aboru and Abesan communities with a bridge. Names of places you cannot even pronounce....Aboru and Abesan. When you hear VGC and Lekki, don't you like it? Aboru. Mtchewww.

Ajasa-Command Road. He is now supporting that failed Yoruba rapper Lord of Ajasa. Okay go and command him.

67 communities in Ibeju-Lekki connected to the national grid after five years of darkness. No wonder VGC and Lekki and Banana Island now have low current sometimes. What is wrong if they use candle?

Onikan Stadium. He went to repair stadium?

and JK Randle Centre. JK Randle, that useless journalist that thinks he is an icon? He went to renovate the center to world standard.

One Lagos Fiesta. Hmmmm Okay. Now let him go and take Siesta. He should sleep.

The ongoing multiple road projects in the Ikorodu division including Ishawo road project down to Arepo in Ogun State, Igbogbo-igbe-bola Tinubu road down to Gberigbe and environs. Ikorodu that has that group BADOOO. We shall see.

Lake Rice project. No stew.

*largest rice Mill in Africa under development in Imota. He should not worry. We will import rice. You want to spoil business for rich importers and amala sellers with cheap local rice.

Rent-to-own housing scheme. Fashola that is minister for housing has not done it, Ambode is proving I-TOO-KNOW

Mile 12 market in Imota. So so poor people and poor places.

various projects in the health sector including completion of Ayinke House , new Intensive care unit, Helipad, new access road in LASUTH, health insurance, construction of many primary health care centers across the state, among others. And so what happens to TB Joshua and miracles? So God cannot heal people abi?

land protection initiatives. Land complain give am?

N25billion Employment Trust Fund which has helped to revamp hitherto moribund industries, facilitated new companies and helped create thousands of jobs. As if that is more important than money for Tinubu to contest presidency in 2023.

the advancement of multi-modal transport project with new jetties, new world class ferries, shoreline protection and channelization of new ferry routes, among others. Ambode wants to annoy Olokun by using water transport that is quicker and that will reduce traffic jam n Lagos. Tell him traffic jam is what makes Lagos to be lagos.

new Ilaje road and jetty...All those Ilaje people that are not real pure Yoruba. mtchewww.

Remember Bucknor Isheri road with 2, gigantic bridges. Bucknor name that annoyed Tinubu as deputy governor. Anything Bucknor must not be developed if you love Tinubu.

Ago Palace link rd. Only one palace and that is where Tinubu lives. That road is blasphemy.

various initiatives against domestic violence. A man cannot beat his wife again Ambode abi? For that we will beat you in primaries.

N500million disability fund. So God that made them disabled does not know what he is doing right? Why cannot they not be beggars like it has always been in Nigeria?

REMEMBER SAME PEOPLE CALLING FOR HIS HEAD ENDORSED HIM AS THE MOST PERFORMING GOVERNOR IN APC even as at 3 months ago, and arguably the best Governor in Nigeria. .. And so? Three months is a looooooooong tme ago

This post is exclusively meant for your conscience.

(This is me bastardizing a very brilliant post in defense of Ambode. In Nigeria, it is a crime to use money meant to be eaten by party men to do projects for the people. The people do not vote in primaries.
