Rest in Peace Sir!

I thought about him recently.

Akintola Williams, Gamaliel Onosode, Michael Omolayole, Ernest Shonekan

Has the last of the boardroom gurus of that era gone?

Let me include others: Felix Ohiwere of Nigerian Breweries, Arthur Mbanefo, Bunmi Oni - They were the corporate gurus of post independence Nigeria

These men made me to look for a career in corporate Nigeria. I read their profiles and got more motivated in pursuing a career in accounting and management.

Oh my God! One of my role models in corporate Nigeria.

RIP Sir - You impacted me positively with wisdom and courage on few occasions that I was opportune to be with you.

This guy has a strong grip on the entire country, especially on their armed forces.

Was Obi present in the meeting?

It seems Obi is viewing ADC now with one kind eye 👁

You should have said "young Nigerian entrepreneurs" instead of the " young Igbo entrepreneurs" used in the description?

Don't go there with the hope of getting a job or applying to do small menial jobs. VV visa doesn't guarantee work in schegen economic area. You will just regret wasting your time and money for nothing.

Lets be truthful to ourselves - the Nigerian state gave us free education!!!

Most of us paid next to nothing throughout the university years and still travelled abroad with the knowledge acquired from Nigeria to excel even further in our new places abroad. Schooling abroad is not cheap, even for the citizens.

It is well. But these pastors and churches should not take advantage of the desperation on the side of our sisters to get married. The women are always too vulnerable and exposed to extortion by pastors, all in the name of crusade and prayer for husband. The working class and well-to-do among them are the most at risk of being milked. I had seen it couple of times. A young lady in one of the firms I consulted told me how one of the pastors kept demanding for money because he was aware that she was earning well until her senses came back

Penguin2:
What is happening to the Anglican Church is evidence of what can happen when you give up on standards.

First, they accepted the so called ordination of women as priests.

Then they accepted the ordination of gays.

Then they accepted the consecration of women as bishops.

And, as is characteristic with the devil, they now want to make a woman the Archbishop of Catenbury.

This is why they all will never lace the shoe of the Holy Roman Catholic Church. It has remained conservative to its Apostolic standards to avoid this kind of rubbish.

That’s why I was angry that Pope Francis was advocating such rubbish for the Catholic Church. Thank God we survived him. May something like him never happen to the church again.

Bro, don't "chest-beat" at all about the Catholic Church. I am a staunch Catholic. Note that the Catholic Church is not immuned from the "onslaught" the mother Church is undergoing in the West. The late Pope John Paul 11, said it that, "the hopes of the church is in Africa". He foresaw the dilution of Christian doctrine in the west and the possibility of decline of the church in the west. There are lots of reformists within the hierarchy of the Catholic Church and these reformists could pull a surprise on the church with their reformists agenda.

So, let's continue to pray for the mother church so that the gate of hell shall not prevail against her. As societies evolves, rules also evolve. It may be a question of when and not if the Catholic Church would eventually reform itself.

The former FCT Minister under Buhari, Muhammad Bello should be ashamed of himself. The worst FCT Minister in the history of Nigeria. The fact that Buhari left him in the office for complete 8 year was even more baffling. That man should point one thing he did in FCT. Incompetence was ingrained in him and Buhari didn't even bother. Until now, people never knew that an FCT Minister could be this active and effective. Give it to Wike, abeg. His footprints are everywhere in Port Harcourt.

People are not seeing the bigger picture

If Jonathan is coming, he is coming at the behest of APC to destabilize the ADC

Bayo and APC knows what they are doing. They may be working hand- in- hand with Jonathan

APC needs a strong PDP to checkmate the ADC

They should permanently fix that road - this is one of the busiest in the country and it is in deplorable condition.

People would travel through that road to the East, as Christmas approaches - Umahi and his team should ensure that all the bad spots are fixed.

THROWBACK; "Leaders of Tomorrow - Are They Truly The Leaders Today"

Some of them might have turned out to be leaders in their respective fields. Leadership is not just about political Leadership. People have turned out to be leaders in the corporate world, entrepreneurship, public service and other human endeavours

The ones at Idi-araba, close to LUTH have association and ID card. I have seen it multiple times on that road and the beggars proudly displays their ID cards on their necks. The ID card I saw showed the person's name, state of origin, ID card number, zone and the ailments the person is suffering from.

Imma624:
I'm currently facing this although I am a fresh graduate. Three weeks after sign out, I'm tired already and feeling bored

Just three weeks?? Some are already on their second year and no show. I feel sorry for any recent graduate in Nigeria. This is the worst time to be unemployed and looking for job in Nigeria. The job market outlook is very depressing. Notwithstanding, keep pushing.! Good luck!

Unemployment

This is very devastating if you don't have any social support or any support system and responsibilities are staring you in the face.

This house is normal of a typical upcoming guy's house in Nigeria. What I am seeing there doesn't ooze luxury at all. This is the barest minimum standard. OP doesn't know what luxury is or he is just being sensational.

Where was Reno when Sowere was giving Wike fire throughout last week? I expected Reno to attack Sowere in defense of Wike but the guy was no where to be found.

The Taliban should change course and follow the dictates of the West. Trust me, the regime would be recognised and invited to address the UN general assembly. But if following the dictates of the West would guarantee your prosperity, why not follow? The defeated Japan and Germany in the WWII followed the dictates of the victorious Western powers and are better for it.

I did not even understand the whole relationship of the parties involved - English is not my major

See how everyone above wished if this could happen in Nigeria. It happened in Nigeria, even before Malawi in 2015. But how far after it happened? Did we fare better?Don't wish BAT badluck, it would definitely affect everyone. Take a look at the person with the closest chance of unseating BAT, can he turn around the fortunes of Nigeria? The person with that chance is Atiku o and not Obi.

Kudos to the airline - Dont pray to have a health emergency in Nigeria. You may be in an environment where the people are clueless on what to do but would rather bring out their phones and start snapping.

CPR is a very important healthcare training that people should acquire as you don't know when it would be needed. If you have an aged parents around, please learn how to perform CPR. Administering CPR could be the difference between death and life for someone in critical health condition, especially with breathing problems

No wonder my town's guy, who is big on spare parts at Ladipo, opened another spare parts at Ikate axis, Lekki. The dude has seen "potential" along that axis. He earlier told me that many mechanics and car owners comes to his shop at Ladipo to pick up parts. He has now decided to bring his shop closer to that population. He deals on high-end spare parts for luxury cars.

She would be accepted more as a Lagosian by Lagosians than some Nigerians from other states. This is how some Nigerians are wired about white people or people of color. In Kano, Lebanese, Syrians and Pakistanis are more respected and valued than some Nigerians that are not indigene of Kano

SeverusSnape:
Where's Reno Omockery??
Please come and defend your lords.

I am surprised that Reno hasn't said anything since this Sowere's onslaught on Wike started. Reno that always defend any prominent member of the ruling party. I guess Reno is afraid of Sowo. He wouldn't want to go to "battle" or have any confrontation with Sowo.

So, Amaechi didn't invite Wike, the landlord where the wedding took place?

He would rise through the ranks to become a general in the Nigerian army. An average Northerner see the army and other public service establishment in the same way an average southerner see the oil companies as the choice places to work

Do the Nigeria Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) detects when an unauthorised foreign fighter jets or plane enters Nigeria's Airspace? If a foreign fighter jets flies over the Nigeria's Airspace and returns to base, do we have the capacity to detect such an aircraft and its source origin? I always marvel at how countries detect the presence of a foreign fighter jets over their Airspace and report such. Is it what radar does or is there a special system in place to detect such?

She may be the daughter of Paul Biya's side chic, whose mother has fallen out of favour with the president

Bleiz:
Lion is odum.
Leopard is agu.


Every other thing you said is correct.

WRONG!!!

Tiger is "Odum"
Lion is "Agu"

That's the meaning for each. But some refers to lion as "Odum" and leopard as "Agu".

TheBizGenius:
I agree with you.

In modern day psychology terms, it is called the "broken windows theory", which states that if small signs of disorder (like graffiti on the walls, broken windows, trash lying around) are ignored, people will move on to bigger and more daring vices.

This is the reason why the first thing developed nations do is to make the environment beautiful as it lowers crime because the psyche of the average residents become beautiful too. Weird, I know but it's just the way humans are wired.

Thank you for observing this too.

You are intelligent!!!

I take environment seriously. My house is a small house but the compound is full of nature - flowers and plants.
