ba7man: I visited the Enugu thread since it was recommended to me and I noticed it was peaceful because there were no South western posters trolling around.

I wouldn't say the same if it was an Ibadan or Oshogbo or any other Yoruba thread.

ba7man: He who bends down to watch another man's @rseh0le forgets that his own is wide open.

UNKNOWN.

barcanista: and who are the etc?You mean Osoba? Fashola? Tinubu? Oyegun John? Oshiobaba? As For Buhari, he was once PDP National Chairman, later BOT Chair of PDP and Next The President of Nigeria....

egift: If you think in any way that APC is out to convince a Chronic PDP stooge who is promoting the most corrupt party on the planet, you are in for a big surprise.

FYI, APC is only interested in working for the well being of many innocent Nigerians who are victims of PDP's evil leadership. And hopefully bring all those that have perpetrated evil against Nigerians to Justice.

Personally, I care less for anyone that have sold his soul to the Devil. Pack well before I do something that cannot be edited

egift: Tinubu was very comprehensive in his response. Stop humiliating yourself it is too early. Here it is:
PDP Mole got busted - Live with that and move on!

ba7man: And they now wonder why nothing is happening in their States.

seanet02: There is a reason why some us usually bash those el-retardos from the other side of the Niger.
While carrying Lagos issues for head, they don't even bother to carry their own states issues for hand.
Dont mind them.

arresa: You know, I used to think it's ignorance and illiteracy, but it's quiet obvious it's way way more than that...

makeitsoon: ah ah lets be objective for once now

barcanista: Brother, you are a man after my own heart. Let the OP and his ilk continue with their chest beating
The same Ijaw they group as "last" is the same Ijaw they worship more than a god eg the Worship of Ijawman called GOodluck Jonathan that even the Ijaws don't worship . I don't blame the OP anyway, I can't denigrate to the level of arguing with him

Actionleap: I would love to see the youth take over politics and render these old hands (with no solid ideas on how to move the nation forward) jobless.

redsun: Pulled his gun?[b]Can't you see that picture was taken in a police dungeon? And he didn't look like he was dying,[/b]even though he looked tortured and brutalized,he could have survived .

redsun: Extra judicial killing .Yeye justice system. Just because he was an warmed robber form a poor background does not mean he didn't have the right for court hearing.

Arresting George on that day was not an easy task as he reportedly drew his Beretta pistol tucked into his knickers and engaged the SARS operatives in gun duel when he sighted them, after they had laid ambush for him for hours. But he and his partner were halted in their tracks as hot lead was pumped into their legs. Though they were rushed to hospital to save their lives, the two suspects later died as a result of the injuries they sustained.

ihatesycophant: I read some comments here and I feel sorry for the youth of this country. No wonder Festus Keyamo said, the youth of this country don't know what they want. When GEJ came out, he's clueless. GMB came out, he's too old. Now 9nice a vibrant young man, he wan chop money. Youths of Nigeria you've loss direction and brainwashed in poverty. What do we really want?

J12: They have already woken him up from his dream with some deadly blows to his face

My arrest is like a dream, says armed robber who killed Akala’s driver

SEGUN George, the notorious armed robber who snatched N500,000 from the driver of the wife of former governor of Oyo State, Mrs Oluwakemi Alao-Akala and killed him after trailing him from a bank, made startling revelations after his arrest on Tuesday, August 26, 2014, as he confessed to have belonged to a cult group while he was a student of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, and started handling guns as a cultist.

George also said he never believed that he could be arrested as he was very careful in evading the police, describing the way he was arrested by Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Ibadan, as a dream that he would like to wake up from. George was described as a notorious armed robber who was using motorcycle to terrorise Ibadan by moving about the city to snatch vehicles and rob bank customers.

In an operation that led to his eventual arrest, George’s gang had trailed one Mr Oshodi to his house on July 11, 2014 at Challenge area of Ibadan and forcefully robbed him of his Hyundai Elantra car valued at N3.5 million, but two of the armed robbers, David Ida and Fatai Olowookere, were intercepted by policemen from Kwara State Command same day and were arrested with the car.

Crime Reports learnt that after the case was transferred to Ibadan, detectives from SARS, led by the Officer-in-Charge, Superintendent of Police Michael Eneji, acted on the confession of the arrested duo and went after other members of the gang. Their efforts paid off when they went to Inalende and Opoyeosa areas of Ibadan and arrested Kolawole Lasisi and Sikiru Olayiwola were arrested on July 30.

Olayiwola led the police to George’s house at Ile-Aperin, Aremo area, Ibadan on August 7 but on sighting the police, the notorious armed robber scaled a fence, jumped on the roof of another building and shot his way out. However, other two suspects, namely Babatunde Oyelakun and Adebayo Kehinde were arrested while George’s armoury was discovered. Two locally-made double-barrel cut-to-size guns, three locally-made single barrel cut-to size guns and two rounds of live cartridges were recovered from the gang leader’s house.

It was further gathered that after George’s escape, he went to Ile-Ife in Osun State but sneaked into Ibadan, unknown to him that the SARS operatives were still on his trail. He was eventually arrested with another gang member, Nurudeen Sodiq (22) on August 26 at about 8.30 p.m. when he went to pick his girlfriend from her shop at Aremo area of the city.

Arresting George on that day was not an easy task as he reportedly drew his Beretta pistol tucked into his knickers and engaged the SARS operatives in gun duel when he sighted them, after they had laid ambush for him for hours. But he and his partner were halted in their tracks as hot lead was pumped into their legs. Though they were rushed to hospital to save their lives, the two suspects later died as a result of the injuries they sustained.

George was a man dreaded by his gang members as they shiver at the mention of his name, even in the cell at SARS unit. But before his death, George opened up to the police on the reason beside his choice of profession, saying that he engaged in crime because his parents were poor and he saw people living ostentatious lives. He confessed that one Abraham initiated him into cultism at The Polytechnic, Ibadan, from which he graduated into armed robbery. He also said he had gangs in Ile-Ife and Onitsha in Anambra State.

When asked whether he depended on charms to carry out successful robbery operations, George was quoted to have said: “It is not like that, you will not understand,” adding that “I have now asked God to forgive me. I will not ask anyone to toe my path.”

Nigerian trio celebrated as owners of biggest online job site
06.Sep.2014

RONKE SANYA writes on how British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) celebrated the achievement of giants of Nigeria’s number one online recruitment website, Jobberman, started by the trio of Ayodeji Adewunmi, Olalekan Olude and Opeyemi Awoyemi, then as undergraduates, now, they own a multi-million naira business that has achieved so much feat and is still growing.

At a time a lot of youths resorted to using the internet for fraudulent activities, duping innocent victims of their hard-earned money, Ayodeji Adewunmi, Olalekan Olude and Opeyemi Awoyemi, all graduates of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State, decided to create jobs for the teeming jobless youth and helped them find their dream jobs.

Their success journey started August 16, 2009, when university lecturers in Nigeria embarked on Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike, the three young undergraduates, who shared a burning desire to recreate and redefine job sourcing and recruitment in Nigeria and beyond, made the best use of the ASUU strike to start the recruitment website, Jobberman.

Primarily, sources jobs directly from companies and recruiting agencies and broadcasts them via the website, blog, email, partner websites and social networks. Job seekers search and apply for jobs by either visiting the website directly or through partner portals. Recently, has been described by Forbes as West Africa’s most popular job search engine and aggregator.

was set up to bridge the gap between opportunity and talent, creating a marketplace, where job seekers and employers in Nigeria can find one another quickly, easily, and cost-effectively.

Five years down the line, Jobberman, has today grown to become Nigeria’s No.1 recruitment website.

In recognition of this feat, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) captures the story of the founders in a documentary interview, on September 2, 2014, narrating the trio’s success story as a dream that started “from slow summer to massive start-up,” describing “a dream that started during a strike to become a multi-million dollar worth business estate, employing 125 people, and is still growing.”

According to BBC, “while Nigeria is Africa’s largest economy, it still has massive unemployment problems, in particular among young people, who are also more likely to be connected to the internet. Jobberman has become the single largest job placement website in sub-Saharan Africa, helping over 35,000 people find jobs within the last two years.

The number of companies using the site to find employees has grown from about 40 in 2009, to some 35,000, today.

Carrying between 500 and 1,000 jobs on the site everyday, the founders estimate that there are about 1,000 active users searching for a job at any given time.

Speaking with BBC in an interview, co-founder of Jobberman, Olalekan Olude said: “The growth has been tremendous, it is at rocket speed. One of the biggest challenges has been to keep up with the volume of work.”

Speaking on ways of overcoming fraud fears, Olude stated that there have been other challenges along the way.

“In the beginning, a lot of people did not trust an internet-based business because at that time, a lot of people were using the internet to perpetrate fraud here in Nigeria,” he says.

However, as other online businesses thrived and became trusted, so did Jobberman. Olude added that, “companies would dip their toe in the water with one or two postings and then when they trusted the site they would come back.”

In 2012, some of Jobberman’s clients wanted to use the site to find workers in Ghana and so the company took its first work outside Nigeria. Two years later, Jobberman is said to be the biggest online job site in Ghana, as well as Nigeria.

The company is now expanding its reach to Kenya with a partner called Brighter Monday. The partnership also gives it a footprint in Uganda and Tanzania.

BBC revealed further that some people actually find a job through the site without actually applying for one.

Amarachi Apakama, while narrating her story said she uploaded her details and was approached by a company to take the position of executive assistant at a mobile phone content company.

“That really changed my life,” she said. “It was a morale booster. It helped my confidence, the fact that my interests and my experience put together such a good job that I didn’t have to apply for.”

The BBC’s business teams across Africa also spoke with the founder, Ayodeji Adewunmi, who says: “It is incredibly fulfilling, helping people to become economically-empowered by getting job placements via Jobberman.

“One company recruited more than 80 per cent of their employees through the site. Another time, a director was able to hire a former colleague in the United States to come and work for his company here in Lagos. All amazing stories.”

Olude says: If you put food on the table by virtue of getting a job for someone, that person also fends for a mother or a brother and you create a multiplier effect within that household.

“Anytime we get to hear of such stories, we are very, very happy. It motivates us, it makes us look forward into the future and try and get more people to get more jobs.”

experimentist: Go n Die!

ba7man: I'm not an APC supporter because of Tinubu, I am because of its members such as Oshiomole, Fashola, Ajimobi, Amosun, Pat utomi, (Ribadu used to be one too but his desperation got the better of him) , rabiu kwakwanso. I dislike Atiku with a passion.



Did u see the way I mentioned people I admire in APC?? PDP now tries to force their mediocre politicians eg Bode George, Obanikoro, Buruji Kashamu etc on the South west.......imagine, fielding a candidate like Omisore and now Akala to Govern.....that's just plain 5tupid.


Try and mention yours in PDP and see how far you'll get. If PDP had presented credible candidates, no problem but with the crop of Governors they keep parading, what's not to dislike??

Apart from GEJ, there's nothing for you guys in PDP. When he's gone you all will probably scatter into the wind because there's nothing left for u guys to hold on to in PDP.

Who will you then root for?? Jonah jang?? Uduaghan?? Seriake Dickson??.....its hard to find an individual with a semblance of credibility in that Party.

Goodluck with your awakening.

You are someone operating with hate, bias and sentiments alone so I cannot be bothered with you apart from saying that we are all not shameless liars like you or suffering from dementia. Any genuine South-Westerner who is honest and the true son of his father will tell you you can never compare what obtains under the APC today, throughout the SW, to the "locust years" of the PDP. Because a man has been out of prison for a while does not mean he begins lying that bland prison food is 'no different' to food served in a high quality restaurant run by a talented Chef. It is either that man has a serious problem with his taste buds or he is an aberrant chap who loves all things to do with his former life of captivity.

aljharem: My friend ! Stop being sarcastic, APC is no different from PDP.
