Ibo people are known not to honour agreement as long as it is always in their favour

history don't lie it is in your blood.



mention one thing Jonathan has done in your gully infested east?

90% of ibo people have their investment outside the east which is a classic example that the east is a harsh business environment


Worst of all is that no ibo man wants to see his fellow ibo brother succeed in his own backyard


that is why the east remains the way it is

Whether we make money in the east or south or Yankee, what matters is we made money. Simple we don't care where it's made. You just being sarcastic by referring east at gully infested,.,,, u tryna kill urself over another man state....leave it for us...

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has showered praises on late Gani Fawehinmi, lawyer and activist, who was a thorn in the flesh of successive administrations in Nigeria, describing him as one of the most genuine politico-social critics in the history of the country.
Mr. Obasanjo was effusive in his praise of Mr. Fawehinmi just as he lampooned Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, and Senator Uche Chukwumerije, describing them as self-serving activists.
Writing in his new autobiography, My Watch, the former president said the late Senior Advocate of Nigeria was not just a critic of his government, but was also the counsel to his ex-wife, Remi, during the couple’s messy divorce.
“Gani was to me a fearless, genuine politico-social critic, who drew no distinction between friends and associates or on ethnicity, geography or religion,” Mr. Obasanjo wrote. “He believed in what he did and did what he believed.”
Mr. Obasanjo also commended Mr. Gani for always speaking up when everyone else was silent, especially on matters of injustice.
He alleged that his ex-wife, Remi, sought the services of Mr. Fawehinmi in order to scandalize him as a senior military officer and a minister in government, but that he (Obasanjo) equally secured Mr. Fawehinmi’s match in Kehinde Sofola.
“But that issue did not diminish my respect for Gani,” he said.
Mr. Obasanjo described Mr. Fawehinmi as an advocate for the poor and the oppressed.
He said the vacuum left by the late legal luminary was yet to be filled in Nigeria.
Mr. Fawehinmi died on September 5, 2009, after a prolonged battle with lung cancer. He was 71.
Soyinka the “aparo” hunter

Prof Wole Soyinka
On the other hand, Mr. Obasanjo described the nation’s only Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, as “a self-serving critic” who always loved to take the lead on all matters.
“For Wole, no one can be good, nor can anything be spot-on politically except that which emanates from him or is ordained by him,” Mr. Obasanjo wrote. “His friends and loved ones will always be right and correct no matter what they do or fail to do.”
Mr. Obasanjo said he found the Professor of Literature “a misfit as a political analyst, commentator or critic,” adding that it was good that Mr. Soyinka did not go into politics.
“He is surely a better wine connoisseur and a more successful “aparo” (guinea fowl) hunter than a political critic, not to talk of what he would do as a politician,” Mr. Obasanjo said. “I take him seriously on almost all issues except on the political particularly Nigerian politics.”
He, however, noted that the Nobel laureate appeared to have ‘mellowed’ down since turning 80 recently.
As he prayed that Mr. Soyinka celebrates the centenary of his birth on earth, Mr. Obasanjo also stated, “If I go before him, I will bid him welcome when he arrives at the great beyond. I hope he would do the same if he succeeds in getting there before me and we find ourselves on the same side of the divide.”
Chukwumerije lost both “fire” and “brand”

Sen. Uche Chukwumerije
On Mr. Chukwumerije, Mr. Obasanjo said the senator as a younger person used to be sincere, fearless and uncompromising but as he grew older and the reality of life dawned on him with the weight of family responsibility “his pen, if not his mouth, gradually blunted and the fire in him started to dim”.
Mr. Obasanjo also said it then became easy to sway the once fiery, obstinate critic and he became a tool of whoever needed to use him.
“Wittingly or unwittingly, he began to do the bidding of the lurer,” he said. “In the process, the intrepidity waned and the fearlessness disappeared. He became called and coiled.”
He added that by joining politics, Mr. Chukwumerije sacrificed not only the “fire” in him, but also the “brand,” adding that the real Mr. Chukwumerije that was known in the past was gone.

Six decommissioned Norwegian warships sold to former rebel leader and current politician Government Ekpemupolo

By Tommy Hansen

COPENHAGEN

Government Ekpemupolo, once an illegal rebel leader in the Niger Delta, is now a prominent Nigerian businessman who owns a total of seven decommissioned Norwegian battleships.

Ekpemupolo holds six Norwegian fast-speed Hauk-class guided missile boats, now re-armed with new weaponry, according to reports in the Norwegian newspaper "Dagbladet." His most recent purchase is that of the KNM Horten, a fast-attack craft now allegedly engaged in piracy in the seas off Nigeria.

And Ekpemupolo has a history of violence. Now one of the wealthiest men in Nigeria, he became rich by illegally bunkering oil from nationally owned pipelines in the Niger Delta, and by leading a rebellious faction there.

How was such a man allowed to acquire warships from Norway?

The export of arms from Norway requires an export license from that country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ships were first sold to CAS Global, a British security company that has such a license. Ekpemupolo bought the ships from the British company.

Government Ekpemupolo now controls the Global West Vessel Service, a privately owned contractor for maritime security for the Nigerian Maritime Safety Agency.

The seven Norwegian ships are now part of the company's maritime fleet, allegedly acting as pirates while patrolling for the Nigerian government, the newspaper reports.

From rebel to government contractor

In May 2009, the commander of the Joint Military Task Force in the Niger Delta, declared Government Ekpemupolo “the most wanted man in Nigeria.” In the Delta region, he made his own law with his own army.

In 2009, he surrendered to the Nigerian government and shook hands with then president Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, receiving full amnesty for himself and his around 1.500 men.

 Today he is an important business partner with the very government that, only five years ago, considered him a criminal.

But he is reportedly still responsible for violence. As late as in November this year he was widely reported as masterminding the abduction and beating of 14 journalists in the Niger delta. 

Norway defends weapons sale

The head of communications at the Norwegian State Department Frode O. Andersen defended the arms sale. He told the “Dagbladet” on Friday: “As far as we can see, the export of KNM Horten has followed correct procedure and terms of export to Great Britain. The re-export from Great Britain to Nigeria is a question to be handled solely by British export control authorities.”

Lloyds List records show that the ship, which was sold to the U.K. company in 2012, was recorded as working for a fishery.

He has also released other hit songs like Domot, Party Like it’s 1980, to name a few. In this exciting chat with Showtime Celebrity, the fast rising star talks about his career, music and more…
How has your career been so far?
It’s been great, everything’s been going great, the reception has been good, with a lot of air-play now. My songs have been doing well on the charts both in Nigeria and Africa; everything Runtown is on bangs well.
Do you do shows outside Nigeria?
Yeah, I have a show on 22nd in Nairobi, I have a show on the 28th in Malaysia and I have a show on 20th in Dubai, so it’s Runtown worldwide now
How do you come up with the lyrics of your songs?
I just hear the beats and then inspiration starts coming in. The beats inspire most of my lyrics
Who inspired you to go into music?
My love for music inspired me to go into music. I have a supreme passion for music
Do you make the beats of your songs?
I produced the beat for my new songs coming out soon. Even my popular song ‘Party Like It’s 1980’ I produced it. So Runtown is a producer too and I co-produce
Have you faced any challenges so far?
Our major challenge back in the day was getting to promote our songs. The media then, weren’t giving us as much airplay as much as we would love but thank God things are different now.
Are you planning on releasing any albums?
Yeah, next year 2015; the album the whole world has been waiting for. I’m thinking of putting like 20 tracks in the album
How many songs have you released now?
There’s Gallardo, Successful, Domot, Baby Answer, but not all these songs would be on my album; some would be on bonus tracks
A lot of people think Nigerian music today is lacking in lyrical content?
Free those people abeg, we came here to have fun. I need to meet those people saying that so I can rub it in their faces that we are having fun. Once you go on stage and people are happy, you’re entertaining people, that’s what I’m here for, to entertain people
How would you compare the music of today with that of the past?
We’re better than those people and we are fresher. I think then, they had more lyrical content but their sound production was poor. Past musicians didn’t dwell on generic sounds and generic names; we had a lot of great songs especially from the 80s. They’re the ones that inspired us, people like Fela, not just their music but their lifestyle too. Fela was a human activist so even if you’re not a musician, you learn a lot of stuff from Fela
As an artist, what’s your idea of good music?
Good music is good sound. Whenever good music comes on, you don’t say please turn that s—t off, that’s good music. Noise is not good music, noise is opposite of good music
Did you go to University?
I’m not done with my University education. I’m currently in F I T; it’s a fashion school in New York, Fashion School of Technology. I’m studying Fashion Management, that’s the business aspect of fashion. We show designers how to make money from their designs
How do you feel topping the charts with Gallardo?
I feel like a bad guy topping the charts
How many videos have you released for your songs?
I have videos for Gallardo, Domot, Successful and Baby Answer
Did you shoot them in Nigeria?
Gallardo was shot in Nigeria, Domot was shot in South Africa, Baby Answer was shot in Los Angeles, and Successful was shot in New York.
Your Domot song, what is it about?
Domot is the front porch of a house, so I’m just talking about Runtown being at the front of the industry. Everyone is looking at me to see what I am made of, because I am kind of running the show. That’s Runtown for you; I am at the Domot .
In the chorus, were you speaking in Hausa?
No, that’s Igbo, that’s from an old song .What it means is ‘This is where we’re now, this is the happening place’. This is where we are, at the Domot
How do you handle your female fans?
I handle them with love and affection, in a polite way, the way my mom taught me
Are you the only artist under Eric-Manny?
No, there’s Presh. He just released a new single with Tiwa Savage.
Which artiste do you look forward to working with?
A lot of good artistes, both upcoming and the ones there; Don Jazzy, and a lot of others.
How would you classify your style of music?
Afropop. It’s a fusion of Afro beats and Hip hop
Are you planning to get married anytime soon?
No, not any time soon. Runtown plans to get married fifteen years from now.
Do you hope to work with any
International artistes?
Of course, Runtown is international so I need to work with international people. I want to work with Rihanna and if she’s not too old in fifteen years time, she might just be my lucky woman.
What do you consider your ideal woman?
A woman that is respectful, that’s all I need. I don’t care if she’s a bad girl or good girl, what I need is that respect
How do Nigerian artistes really make money that with one single they buy houses in Lekki?
It depends on how your star is, it depends on how lucky you get, how hardworking you are and how smart you are, if you can use one song to achieve all that. An artiste gets money through shows, endorsements, through meeting people because everything happens through meeting people. Just be at the right place at the right time
Are you still releasing any songs this year?
I have two more songs to release this year, two more singles
How do you view the Nigerian music industry today?
It’s growing, we are getting there. At least now we have artistes going on Soul Train awards, everything is taking shape
What more should people expect from Runtown?
They should expect my other joints, dope songs from Runtown and more awards.
