Olumide and Olayinka are just wasting their time. Asue Akintunde Ighalo is winning this one.
The Oba of Benin obviously sent a Bini High Chief to represent him. He doesn't have to be there to officially commission the new club clinic. The unveiling of the plaque on the wall clearly shows the Oba's name on it.

Anyone who’s a keen political follower, watcher and analyst in Nigeria, would agree that the Oba accepting to attend this project inauguration in person in this election period simply echoes endorsement.

The Edo governorship election is getting more and more interesting and unpredictable every day.

The road to Osadabey Avenue might be as smooth for Asue Ighodalo as we previously thought.

Yesterday, 13 April 2024 was a truly momentous occasion as HRM Omo N'Oba N'Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, CFR, the Grand Patron of the Benin Club 1931, inaugurated the Senator Olu Akpata Memorial Clinic at the prestigious Benin Club 1931 named after Senator (Chief) Emmanuel Idahosa Oluwafemi Akpata, more popularly known as Senator Olu Akpata, the first indigenous President of Benin Club 1931.

When my father, Dr. Henry Omorogieva Akpata lost his father, Chief Johnson Ogunleye Akpata in 1946, Senator Olu Akpata took it upon himself to step in and serve ‘in loco parentis’ as a father figure for the young Henry Omorogieva and his siblings. This role, he performed creditably while also playing a significant role in the emergence of my dad as a successful medical practitioner.


It is, therefore, an immense honour to bring this vision to life and create a lasting healthcare facility in tribute to my beloved uncle, Senator Olu Akpata. The new clinic bearing his name will provide essential healthcare for club members and residents and thereby ensure that Senator Olu Akpata's legacy of dedication to community upliftment lives on.

The Benin Club 1931 holds such profound significance not just to my family but also to my family but also the people of Edo State, embodying our resilient history and fostering unity. With the Senator Olu Akpata Memorial Clinic, we can now extend its positive impact through compassionate care that will touch countless lives for years to come.

Adanma Luke, the producer of the movie Junior Pope was shooting before he drowned has claimed that the later actor was given a life jacket but rejected it.

DAILY POST reports that Luke has been under heavy fire following the death of actor Junior Pope and three others after their boat capsized on the Anam River in Anambra State while returning from the location of her movie, ‘The Other Side Of Life.’


Breaking her silence since the incident, Luke Adanma claimed that Junior Pope was provided with a life jacket but rejected it because it was dirty.

Speaking in a video message shared via her Instagram account, she said:

DAILY POST
This is a very CLEAR lesson to everyone to go and learn how to swim and engage in endurance exercises. This is where MOST white folks naturally excel... They learn to become good swimmers from childhood, hence they majorly win a lot of gold, silver, and bronze medals during the Summer Olympic Games and Commonwealth Games.

So, in a worse case scenario, if you're presented with a supposedly "dirty" life jacket OR lifebuoy, you can still hang in there by swimming to the nearest safety or rescue point.
Car TalkRe: CNG Price Fall To N200/scm, Markerters Unveil More Stations In Lagos by Konquest: 3:16pm On Apr 14, 2024
GAZZUZZ:
CNG to flood Lagos April .


NIPCO GAS is about to promote the use of Compressed Natural Gas, CNG, as alternative to Premium Motor Spirit, PMS also called petrol in the commercial city of Lagos after it has announced completion of four CNG stations in Lagos.

The facilities would be opened for commercial operations by end of April to become the first of its kind in the state which is now contending with long queues at filling stations.

The managing director ,NIPCO Gas Ltd ,Nagendra Verma, briefing the media on the development at the weekend, said the firm has been involved in AutoCNG development and expansion since 2009.

Verma, who assured sustainability of supply after commissioning said presently, for Cars, Taxis and Keke’s; AutoCNG is being sold at NGN200/standard cubic feet scm against the petrol price of NGN610 per litre, in Lagos and NGN230/scm against the PMS price of NGN670/ltr in Abuja.

The managing director, further informed that similarly for heavy commercial vehicles; AutoCNG is being sold at NGN260/scm against the AGO price of NGN1250/ltr in Lagos and NGN290/scm against the AGO price of NGN1300/ltr in Abuja.

“NIPCO Gas is sure that with the continuous focus and push by the current government, AutoCNG will become the Choice fuel for Nigeria which has the potential to reduce the pressure on importation as well as on Forex.” he added.

According to him, AutoCNG is a project for masses and of National Cause and Importance, adding “We are sure once expanded across Nigeria; will surely and definitely relieve the masses and motorists from high fuel cost.

“We continuously seek blessing and support of the Government and media to make AutoCNG a Reliever, Cleaner and Greener fuel of Nigeria”

Speaking on the company’s strategy, Verma said, initially the company started with Benin City and expanded the AutoCNG network to Ibafo in Ogun State and later-on in Kogi State.

He stressed further that with the initiatives and clear mandate by the current government, AutoCNG network also expanded to Abuja FCT, Ibadan in Oyo State and Oron in Akwa Ibom State.

NIPCO Gas presently operates 15 AutoCNG stations across Nigeria and CNG vehicles from Lagos can travel up to Abuja and Kaduna by taking CNG from the in-between NIPCO Gas AutoCNG stations. We are sure, soon motorists can travel across every nook and cranny of Nigeria.

Under current government directives, NIPCO Gas has partnered with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL for expansion of AutoCNG stations across various states of Nigeria.

“ Partnering with NNPCL under directives from The Presidency brings along a huge sense of responsibility and commitment towards masses of Nigeria and Government.

“NIPCO Gas is honoured with this trust and belief by the Government and NNPCL and have assured that we will not leave any stone unturned to make this AutoCNG expansion plan a reality which will relieve thousands and millions of citizens from the pain they are going through presently.” added Verma

He also disclosed that under the current partnership, 35 AutoCNG are planned to be constructed in phased manner. He also revealed that locations for 19 CNG stations have been identified and the firm has received stage-wise approval from NMDPRA and other statutory authorities.


He said 4 CNG stations in Lagos are scheduled to be completed in April/May, 2024, adding, “For making this AutoCNG expansion project a reality, we are getting due support and guidance from all including but not limited to PCNGI, NMDPRA, SON, NNPC, other Ministries and Departments and Media too who are also keen to see this as reality in near future.”

Verma, said gas distribution and AutoCNG projects are highly capital-intensive projects which require huge investment and highest level of commitment and perseverance, and expressed hope that with support from all and with continuous push from the Presidency, the firm will surely make it happen.

He went further to state that NIPCO Gas in addition to AutoCNG is also expanding the gas transportation pipeline towards Ibadan and gas distribution network in Lekki Free Zone.

“All these projects require huge investment and a high gestation period.


Once the above projects are commissioned, it will help in greater way in deepening the utilisation of indigenous gas which still remains under-utilised and reduce dependency on importation of other fossil fuels thereby reducing the pressure on Forex.” he added.

Holy smokes...


https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2024/4/14/iran-attacks-israel-with-over-300-drones-missiles-what-you-need-to-know

What could come next for Iran, Israel and the region?


“Analysts over the last couple of hours have been saying that Iran’s attack appears carefully calibrated, to make a point but not to cause so much damage that it escalates the situation into a wider conflict,” Al Jazeera’s Rory Challands said, reporting from occupied East Jerusalem.

“The Israeli war cabinet has been authorised to respond in some way to Iran,” Challands said.
According to Al Jazeera’s diplomatic editor James Bays, the US seemed to have had “some contact with Iran before this attack took place. Some of this may well have been choreographed to a degree”.

“The Biden administration, ultimately it has lots of tools because the US is the main supplier of funds and weapons to Israel. President Biden hasn’t acted till now in a strong way over the war on Gaza, but remember what’s at stake here. Because if we do have an all-out war between Iran and Israel that will cause chaos in this region, and it will cause chaos beyond the Middle East,” Bays said.

“The Americans are trying to praise Israel but behind the scenes, I’m sure the Biden administration … was not at all happy about the Iranian consulate attack in Damascus, because it knows Iran really had no alternative but to come up with some sort of response,” he added.
PoliticsRe: Oil Production Plunge Caused By Pipeline Problem – FG by Konquest: 2:02pm On Apr 14, 2024
nairalanda1:
NIgeria was not doing great before we found oil. Most of us were poor. Very poor. And if we had not found oil, we would have still ended up the way we are, because instead of using our raw materials and what we were producing to make products the world needed, we were just selling and selling and selling....and allowing others make big profits using our resources and so forth.

Problem with resources is the price is never stable. The same issues with oil is the same issue with palm oil cocoa, groundnut, cotton etc. See Ghana. Cocoa prices of recent never favour them, plus they just had a massive issue with diseases affecting the crop...result, they had to beg for more loans from world bank. At world bank conditions.

For Nigeria to do great we have to use our resources to make stuff the world needs, and export it. Not sit down behind some desk forming big man and using imported stuff that deplets our forex.
Succinctly put.

The bolded words have been my views as well for a long time. Value addition and disruptive innovation are the key to having a sustainable economic development. The person who's goverment (and political party) personified this disruptive innovation back in the 1950s to the 1960s was the iconic Chief Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN, the former Premier of the Old Western Region (which included the current Western Nigeria states, Edo and Delta States).

The marriage didn't even last for a year. They are divorced now.

I think men that marry late are set in their ways and they may be difficult to live with.
More importantly, men in their 40’s and above (divorced or otherwise), are almost impossible to change. If a man is stingy at that age, he is stingy because he wants to be. If he’s a cheat at that age, he will always be. If he lies at that age, he will remain a liar forever lol.
A fool at 40, they say, is a fool forever. Lol
@Onecandleaway,

That's an interesting feedback.

The divorce must have been done codedly (far away from much of the public). I used advanced online search terms to search online but found absolutely nothing about the marriage split. Olumide's Wikipedia profile doesn't have any information on Mitchell, so I take it that they are divorced like you've already clarified.

Indeed, I've read some research findings from the American Bar Association and others which indicate that marriages involving lawyers (especially female lawyers) can be stressful thereby leading to separations and then divorce. It's NOT set in stone though as some lawyers have been able to navigate the landmines in their marriages. There's actually a large pool of unmarried older female lawyers in the United States of America.

You're right about some men (or folks) being set in their ways at a certain age. However, there are a lot of folks worldwide that I've known over the years who are over 40 and 50 years of age who got married and are doing quite okay.

Being clearly intentional in handling personal finances and developing Emotional Intelligence are the keys to succeding in medium to long-term relationships or marriages. If you're the type of person who doesn't love himself OR herself, then how can you love somebody else?

These are the personal attributes that women and men have to WATCH out for in a person they intend to get married to and NOT be sentimental by thinking that they can change that person after marriage... In most cases, it's not gonna happen as planned. Lol.

Last but not least, marriage definitely isn't for everyone. Better to be separated after doing the best you can to resolve issues that have gone south, than living a long-term miserable life under the same roof.

Olumide Akpata Biography
Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata, a Lawyer and Politician from Edo State, clinched the Labour Party's gubernatorial candidacy in the state after securing victory in the February 2024 primary elections. Prior to his political venture, Akpata served as the President of the Nigerian Bar Association, making history as the first non-senior advocate to hold this prestigious position.

Born on October 7, 1972, in Edo State, Nigeria, Akpata received his early education in Warri, Delta State, and later attended King's College, Lagos for his secondary education. He earned a bachelor's degree in law from the University of Benin in 1992 and was called to the bar in 1993, completing his mandatory National Youth Service in Kano State.

Akpata's legal career commenced under the mentorship of Dr. Mudiaga Odje, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, OFR, in Delta State. In 1996, he moved to Lagos and joined Templars law firm, where he played a pivotal role in expanding the firm to employ around 100 lawyers, including two Senior Advocates of Nigeria. As a senior partner and Head of the Corporate & Commercial Practice Group at Templars, Akpata contributed significantly to crucial projects such as the restructuring of the National Electric Power Authority and the acquisition of the National Fertilizer Company of Nigeria.

In addition to his legal accomplishments, Akpata actively participated in advising on the deployment of Google Street View in Nigeria. He chaired the Nigeria Bar Association Section on Business Law (NBA-SBL) and later became the president of the Nigerian Bar Association, defeating two senior advocates to secure the position.

Entering politics in 2023 with the Labour Party, Akpata aimed to contribute to societal improvement. His distinctive perspective and ideas brought him to the forefront within the party, leading to his victory in the governorship primaries held on Friday, February 23, 2024.


With an estimated net worth of around $5 million, Akpata has received accolades, including the African Bar Association Award in 2022 and a recognition award from the Warri Branch of the Nigerian Bar Association for his exemplary stewardship.

If TRUE, I have always insisted that all rapists must undergo full physical castrations or chemical castrations, then undergo a lengthy jail term with hard labor. That's how to minimize and even eradicate these sorts of debasing crimes.

Missiles smash Israel to 'overwhelm Iron Dome' before Iranian attack 'soon'



A barrage of missiles hit Israel on Friday evening as one commentator chillingly warned that the attack may be an attempt to deplete the country's 'Iron Dome' defense system as Iran prepares for a retaliatory attack


A missile onslaught aimed at Israel on Friday evening has sparked fears that the country's Iron Dome defence system could be overwhelmed, as a pundit ominously suggested the attack near the Galilee Panhandle, close to Lebanon's border, might be a ploy to exhaust Israel's defences ahead of an impending Iranian counterstrike.

Terrifying footage circulating on social media captured the moment Israel's Iron Dome valiantly intercepted incoming missiles, detonating them in the sky above towns on the border. The clips depict a volley of rockets being launched over the frontier, which are then met by a flurry of Israeli counter-rockets.

The Times of Israel reported no immediate damage or injuries from the incident. It is suspected that the projectiles were fired by Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant faction that has become an ally of Iran. Since entering the conflict in Gaza, Hezbollah has been sending rockets, missiles, and drones into Israel on an almost daily basis.

Foreign AffairsRe: Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Seizes Israeli-Linked Ship Near Strait Of Hormus(pix) by Konquest: 11:08pm On Apr 13, 2024
Botragelad:
Video said to show commandos rappelling from helicopter onto Portugal-flagged MSC Aries in Gulf of Oman, off Emirati port Fujairah; vessel associated with Eyal Ofer’s Zodiac Group

A video first reported by The Associated Press showed commandos raiding a ship near the Strait of Hormuz by helicopter Saturday, an attack a Mideast defense official attributed to Iran amid wider tensions between Tehran and the West.

The vessel involved is likely the Portuguese-flagged MSC Aries, a container ship associated with London-based Zodiac Maritime. Zodiac Maritime is part of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer’s Zodiac Group.


Zodiac declined to comment and referred questions to MSC, which did not immediately respond.

The MSC Aries had been last located off Dubai heading toward the Strait of Hormuz on Friday. The ship had turned off its tracking data, which has been common for Israeli-affiliated ships moving through the region.

The video — not released by the news agency — showed the attack earlier reported by the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations. It described the vessel as being “seized by regional authorities” in the Gulf of Oman off the Emirati port city of Fujairah, without elaborating.

The defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, shared the video with the AP

In it, the commandos rappelled down onto a stack of containers sitting on the deck of the vessel.

A crew member on the ship could be heard saying: “Don’t come out.” The crew mate then tells his colleagues to go to the ship’s bridge as more commandos come down on the deck. One commando can be seen kneeling above the others to provide them with potential cover fire.

Though the AP could not immediately verify the video, it corresponded to known details of the boarding and the helicopter involved appeared to be one used by Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, which has carried out other ship raids in the past.

The incident comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the West, with Israel bracing for an attack from Tehran after an April 1 strike on a building in the Iranian embassy compound in the Syrian capital of Damascus, which killed several Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders, including two generals.

Iran did not immediately acknowledge seizing any vessel, nor was there any report carried by state media about the incident. However, Iran since 2019 has engaged in a series of ship seizures and had attacks on vessels attributed to it amid ongoing tensions with the West over its rapidly advancing nuclear program.

The Gulf of Oman is near the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which a fifth of all oil passes. Fujairah, on the United Arab Emirates’ eastern coast, is a main port in the region for ships to take on new oil cargo, pick up supplies or trade out crew.

Since 2019, the waters off Fujairah have seen a series of explosions and hijackings. The US Navy blamed Iran for limpet mine attacks on vessels that damaged tankers.

Foreign AffairsRe: Iran Has Launched Drone Attacks Against Israel by Konquest:
FreeStuffsNG:
The drones are expected to take several hours to reach Israel.

Iran launched dozens of drones directly from its territory against Israel on Saturday night, in a radical change from its usual use of proxies, the IDF has confirmed.

The military said that it is ready to shoot them down, though air defense is not hermetic.

The IDF's shoot-down capabilities include aircraft, Iron Dome, David's Sling, and the Arrow missile system.

In addition, the military can use GPS scrambling to disable certain kinds of attacking drones.

The drone attacks could take hours or more to arrive in Israel while traveling across such potential countries as Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and other areas.

There are concerns that Tehran or its proxies may also fire long-range ballistic missiles and other rockets at Israel in some kind of overlapping wave with the drone attacks.

The Islamic Republic's attack comes after it accused Israel of killing top Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Muhammad Reza Zehidi on April 1, who had directed its proxy attacks on Israel in Lebanon and Syria, including being a top coordinator with Hezbollah.

The IDF declined to publicly commit to a preemptive strike on Iran now that the drones have been launched.

The Israel Airports Authority announced that Israeli airspace would close starting at 12:30 a.m. local time.

Shortly after the Iranian strike began, Iraqi officials announced that Iraqi airspace was being closed.

You're right, my brother. We all should begin to speak up against the danger that the Igbo people represent. Why should we keep quiet in the face of all these anti-Nigeria activities of the Igbo? Are we all going to fold our arms until they finally succeed in their evil machinations against Nigeria?

The same Igbo people who openly said they would enlist in the Nigerien (Niger Republic) Army to fight against Nigeria in the event of a war between the two countries! Had the coup saga in Niger Republic led to a war between Nigeria and Niger, trust me, the majority of these irrational people, who are always led by emotions, would have found their way to Niamey to enlist in Niger's military!

Why should the rest of us share the same space with such devilish people who don't mean well for Nigeria? The truth is that I don't feel comfortable having Igbo people around me again as a Yoruba man, and that's because they have proven themselves to be sworn enemies of the Yoruba people. Why should I tolerate an enemy around me?

The federal government has to do something about the danger Igbo constitute to the security of other Nigerians before people begin to take laws into their own hands!
Let me come into your convo and make it clear here.

The past PDP and APC governments at Federal and State levels are to BLAME for their inactions over the relentless fake news, hate speech, cyberbullying attacks, and criminally defamatory posts online and offline that have gone on for over 25 years now by the secessionist bigots.

Recently, I saw a video where the Nigerian President said he doesn't read the social media because he was insulted during the last election cycle. I began to wonder how a man who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces would be subconsciously threatened by criminally defamatory posts and fake news against him on the social media platforms and not take action to bring the idiots to justice? Tinubu's inactions against these trolls and criminally defamatory posts is highly irresponsible and disgraceful of him and his team of Intelligence Officers in the DSS or the Police.

Recently, Eniola Badmus, Nathaniel Bassey and Mercy Chinwo successfully got 1 female and 3 males arrested for cyberbullying and criminal defamation of character at different times. All those arrested by these prominent Nigerian citizens are incidentally ethnically Ibos. The highly TOXIC girl who cyberbullied Eniola Badmus is Ibo and she was charged to court and she's now showing signs of remorse after being arrested but she and those other 3 male creeps and cowards who criminally defamed Nathaniel Bassey, Mercy Chinwo and others MUST be severely punished to serve as a huge lesson to other creeps who think they CANNOT be arrested and prosecuted in courts for online defamation and hate speech. Period.

Had it been the way you are voicing out now, others too are voicing out, condemning their bad attitude, they'll sit up and behave themselves.. forums such as Nairaland too is complicit in the whole thing as the owner always allow himself to get bullied by them.

How will people be rejoicing that the country's currency is on freefall simply because a candidate they chose lost election.. it's the exact same behaviour their parents exhibited that made them kill Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa and others which eventually led to civil war.


See how they were demanding that Military should seize power because their candidate lost and they don't want a Yoruba man that won election to complete his tenure. Very similar to what Nzeribe did in the past, opposing Yoruba presidency and publishing anti-Yoruba articles in national dailies back then.

Now he is an arse licker. funny people. dont you know how nigeria things work? Let them announce that the petrol price is now 200 naira, and see how the stations will drag time to adjust it, they will say, they have not seen president to come to their stations and tell them in person, but let them jack it up to 1k, before the announcement is over, the price will be adjusted with the speed of light. Same thing is being applicable to goods you see in the markets and you are complaining above. Many nigerians are naturally wicked that want to explore every opportunity they can lay on.

The story now is that all the goods they bought when the dollar is high, are yet to be sold, until they sell everything and restock with the new dollar rates, thats when things can come down. Majority of them never imported anything when dollar was high. They are just opportunist. simple. You see examples who the guy is talking about?
You will shop in abroad during festive period, you will nearly get many things almost free, but in nigeria, everything will skyrocket, everyone will be confused of what to buy with little at hand and its been happening even far before this administration. who is doing who?
That's an interesting analysis.

Popular nigerian pastor and a major critic of the nigerian government has blasted nigerians that are not happy as the dollar begin to appreciate. He was furious that despite being an obidient, he has moved on, but some people always want to see anything bad about their country especially since their candidate lost, and always want bad things to be happening so that they can say, Shey we warned you.

Yeah, he was Mr Titus.

He acted as "Dr" Bassey Okon on the original Village Headmaster series (he owned the pharmacy and Boniface was his assistant) in the 1960s, '70s and early '80s.

He was Mr. Adio in Adio Family in the 1970s (Rosemary Anieze-Adams acted as his wife).

He also acted as the MD on The Turning Wheel on OGTV in the 1980s (Enebeli Elebuwa played the part of Inspector Ben Alamu).

He was Mr Titus on Story Story.

And he acted as Fred Ade-Williams' doctor in Tinsel on MNET.

He had perfect diction.
Bump.

The iconic Jab Adu's biological son, Rotimi Sankore (a popular journalist and Economic Development expert who reeled accurate stats off his head) also passed on just today while his treating his prostate cancer illness.

Both of them were indeed very brilliant men.

“Coming here means we care. You know Akwa Ibomites are like Americans. We don’t leave each other behind. Government will be with the family and support them.”

The Governor thereafter gave an automatic employment in the State Civil Service to the surviving elder sister of the deceased, and directed the SSA on Humanitarian Services, Umo Ekpo to renovate the family house and bring it to modern standards.

The Governor also assured of Government’s assistance to the two sisters of the bereaved who are undergraduates at the University of Uyo, said to be sponsored by the late Nollywood make- up artist.

Yup! This is what I stated in a post yesterday on NL. The Governor of the richest crude oil-producing state in Nigeria has finally visited the family of the young lady... Next is to bring her body back from that riverside burial to Akwa Ibom for internment.
