Upon all his acting as middlemen to sell guns to the Nigerian government during the civil war. Same gun were used in killing his own people

Arthur Nzeribe from Oguta in Imo State is the one who was actually selling weapons as an arms dealer to both the Federal Government and the rebel secessionist during the Nigerian Civil War, NOT Arthur Eze from who is from Anambra. (Arthur Eze also got oil from the deep offshore after the 1993 bidding for deep offshore oil blocks at the same time just like the savvy billionaire and former banker with IMB, Mrs. Folorunso Alakija who later struck oil and gas with her international partners from her Agbami Oilfield).

Adebayo Ogunlesi is not yet on the Bloomberg billionaire index. He became a billionaire this year after GIP made the blackrock deal in January. He'll show up on the billionaire lists next year.

You can see from this news it was just this year he became a billionaire.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-12/blackrock-deal-mints-gip-fortunes-led-by-ogunlesi-s-billions

This is where I FIRST read of the Nigerian-American, Dr. Adebayo Ogunlesi's billionaire status in the list of 22 Black African descent USD billionaires worldwide, as confirmed by Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

=>https://www.blackentrepreneurprofile.com/collections/black-billionaires

Excerpts:
"According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Mr. Ogunlesi, serving as the Chairman and Managing Partner of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), holds an estimated 17.5% stake in the company, resulting in a net wealth of around $2.3 billion based on the acquisition price."

Second source is here:

Third source is here:
https://punchng.com/ogunlesis-net-worth-hits-2-3bn-after-gip-sale-report/

'Tope Awotona of "Calendry" too is listed in the first Website I gave here as a USD billionaire alongside Adebayo Ogunlesi. They are however both listed as Nigerian-Americans NOT full Nigerian citizens and USD billionaires like Aliko Dangote, Mike Adenuga, Abdulsamad Isyaku-Rabiu, and 'Femi Otedola.
=>https://www.blackentrepreneurprofile.com/collections/black-billionaires

This clarifies my original point on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index and Dr. 'Bayo Ogunlesi's USD billionaire status.

Cubeman:
The unfortunate fact is the Governor awarded and is aware of the Cobra called road. The government media is even proud to post it online. My opinion is if in 2024 we still have a government which derives joy in constructing semi-substandard road and publish it online as an achievement, that means our process of choosing leaders in this country is fundamentally wrong. Something is seriously wrong with us. With Nigerians.

I'm really surprised by your summations here which is very revealing.

I know the Governor of Kwara (who is also a USD multimillionaire (billionaire in Naira) oil and gas mogul and the son of AbdulGaniyu Folorunso AbdulRazaq, the first ever lawyer in the whole of the Old Northern Region of Nigeria) to be a well-traveled man haven lived in the very well-planned West African city of Abidjan in Cote d'Ivoire and other well-planned cities worldwide. I don't know whether lethargy has set in for him but he should realize that history will judge him badly if they do NOT reconstruct that road crooked in Igbaja with proper covered drainages on both sides.

The Governor of Ogun State (Prince 'Dapo Abiodun) too is a USD multimillionaire oil and gas mogul, yet the folks in Ogun have been screaming offline and offline about bad roads, although he constructed some roads in his Ijebu area of Ogun East in his first term. I'm beginning to now think that sometimes, having some super-rich people as Governors might NOT lead to quick development and innovation if that person is NOT motivated or hungry enough to be of service to his society... Even though these 2 men are successful oil and gas moguls.

The indigenes of Kwara and Ogun States and even lovers of development really have to embark on online and offline "naming and shaming" of these Governors and their Commissioners of Works for doing a bad job in terms of roads and infrastructure.

Family › Re: Why Do Men Do DNA Test ? – Lady Asks by Konquest: 2:46pm On Apr 05, 2024

DyshApp:
A Nigerian lady has come under fire online for endorsing paternity fraud and warning men to stop conducting DNA test for their children.

In a video, the lady claimed that the thing that most perplexes her is why men take DNA tests since in her opinion, they are the ones that cheat the most.

She continued asking a lot of hypothetical questions, such as what if she had made a mistake, what if it was a one time incident, or what if she loved you more than the person she had a child for.

She advised men to stop doing DNA test and love the child because women are good people.

This naive girl is probably a product of paternity fraud herself. *Sarcasm*

iamdrjosh:
Popular Port Harcourt musician Duncan Mighty, has once again called out his wife this time for cheating as he claimed to have found out that via DNA test that his daughter isn’t his.

Recall that dockaysworld earlier reported that singer accused his wife of plotting with her mom to kill him and inherit his properties.

Narrating further in a post recently, Duncan claimed that his wife had slept with two men as part of a ritual to kill him.

He stated that the cheating had led to the birth of Mitchell who DNA had shown wasn’t his.

Duncan added that the ritual was meant to kill him in a couple of years but he was wise enough to avoid it.

He wrote:

Mr FRANK is brights best friend whom is responsible for taking them to the highest and most powerful JuJu. FRANK and Bright are the fathers of Mitchell as DNA has proven me negative. On the 24th of Nov 2015 five days after ICon was born i gifted vivian a car that night she accessed my phone and saw a N100m credit from the mallam i sold pounds to, she said to me what’s the money for? I said am building a television station to make Portharcourt intertainment industry come alive, she hugged me and said you are just too humble.11months later they went to the first juju house and spent 1m which was used to build a hidden shrine, the existence of this hidden shrine is to hide everything they’re doing should incase anyone tries to find out spiritually the person will see another face and not theirs. The most important thing is neutralize DUNCANS POWERS, Which requires Frank and bright to have sex with vivian, the mom will be responsible for buring the charm and Maria is responsible for feeding the shrine then in exactly 4yrs time DUNCAN will get sick and die. But GOD failed them as that attempt resulted to the pregnancy of MITCHELL. now the 4yrs has come to pass DUNCAN MIGHTY is still not a SAMSON all failed and the main reason am exposing this Evil is because Mitchell’s life is in danger as they are planning to kill Mitchell for the truth not to prevail,, #asamandontkeepyoursefempty

American popular rapper Trippie Redd shocks everyone as he reveals he is not the father of the child he thought he had with his girlfriend, after a DNA test.
Trippie Redd has revealed that he isn't actually the father of the child he thought he was, following a DNA test. While Speaking with DDG about being a parent, he opened up that he did a DNA test and explained that he doesn't have any kids after all. Meanwhile, Trippie had announced that he welcomed a son back in November but to the shock of fans, he revealed he is not a father yet.

He reveals that he did 2 DNA tests after his mum told him to, and they were both negative. He discloses that all the things he was going through then really messed him up and that was why he couldn't go for any tour or do shows, saying it was a lot of confusion for him.

This has stirred up lots of conversation online as many expressed their sympathy for Trippie Redd and seriously condemned the unfaithfulness of his so-called girlfriend. Well, I think it is better he discovered early enough and thank to his mother who requested the DNA test.

People are not thinking outside the box with regards to generating their own personal off-grid power solutions and keep complaining about high tariffs back in Nigeria.

Even scalable off-grid wind turbines have gained momentum in use globally for individual use in homes and communities.

Last but not least, I agree with you on your summations with reference to the many rivers in the West of Nigeria. Since 1982, the Federal Governmemt hasn't completed the construction of the hydroelectric dam project in Oyo State (Ikere Gorge Dam in Iseyin LGA) which would also have served as a source of dry season irrigation for agriculture in Oyo State and surrounding states. That dam project has been abandoned with the installed imported equipment from Germany since the 1980s and the current FG-led by President Tinubu has to finish it ASAP and other abandoned projects around Nigeria.

Funny enough, Haiti is made up of mostly runaway black slaves from the Yoruba tribe in Nigeria, they make up the majority of Haitian population

Your last paragraph is NOT absolutely correct.
Some Yorubas were brought to Haiti and the nearby Spanish colony now called Dominican Republic. Other ethnicities that were brought to Haiti are the Hausa, Mandingo, Akan, and more.

Based on slave ship records, MOST of the Africans who were brought into Haiti before 1800 were from the current Benin and Togo region and the Congo region. The Congo people were brought into Haiti last in large numbers towards the start of the Haitian revolution which led to the French colonists being kicked and some fled to Louisiana.

It's in majorly Cuba, Venezuela, Trinidad, and Brazil that you have a strong presence of Yorubas who were majorly brought from Nigeria and Benin Republic in the late 1700s but majorly in the 1800s after the Haitian Revolution blocked the plantation slavery and sugar cultivation.

Peterpaul96:
Sources at the commission said Bobrisky has been granted bail but is yet to meet the bail conditions for his release.

The bail conditions were however not disclosed but it was learnt that Bobrisky may have to hand over his international passport to operatives as part of the bail conditions.

Bobrisky was arrested on Wednesday, April 3 for spraying money at an event in Lagos state on March 24.

EFCC said Bobrisky was arrested for a crime considered an abuse of the naira at a movie premiere.

Confirming his arrest, the spokesperson of the commission, Dele Oyewale, said Bobrisky was arrested for currency mutilation and abuse of the Naira.

“He is with us. We arrested him over currency mutilation and abuse of the Naira. He is in our facility in Lagos state,” Oyewale added.

The EFCC’s Lagos Zonal Command had initiated an investigation into Bobrisky for allegedly violating Naira spraying laws.

EFCC, in a statement on Thursday, said the investigation began after a video surfaced online showing Bobrisky spraying and flaunting wads of new Naira notes at Ajakaju movie premiere on March 24, 2024.

The investigation, according to EFCC, also revealed that Bobrisky had also committed the alleged offence at some other event centres and parties at different times.

The anti-graft agency also disclosed that Bobrisky will soon be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.

macof:
when silliness has become your nature.

Crowther used the word "oga" in his dictionary and he translated it as "champion, distinguished person" this is semantically not far from "master"

below is a screenshot from a 1937 Bini dictionary by Hans Melzian... clearly stating that by 1937 it was a word used by the younger generation.

Show me an earlier bini dictionary showing the word to mean anything close to "master" or "champion" that doesn't reference yoruba

That's impressive.

The Yoruba word Oga was listed in the 1857 Yoruba dictionary by Ajayi Crowther.

In addition, Olusoga is one of the Yoruba names that have Oga (or Master/Boss in it). The founder of Oko Odu (Ikorodu) centuries ago is known as Oko Odu Oga (i.e., Oko Odu the Master). This is the reason why Ikorodu is fully known as "Ikorodu Oga" as of today.

This is exactly how some highly dishonest young Ibos on NL 2 days ago on a frontpage thread blatantly lied that Egusi is not a Yoruba word but from their language. Fortunately well-read folks of Yoruba descent took all of them to the cleaners when it was CLEARLY shown that EGUNSI (EGUSI) is a Yoruba word that was already recorded in the first Yoruba-English dictionary published in 1843! The first Ibo dictionary by Bishop Crowther in 1888 however had NO Egusi or even Egwusi listed in it and subsequent editions simply because ELILI or Enini are the original Ibo names for melon (Egusi).

=>https://www.nairaland.com/8047476/igbo-soups-all-nigerian-tribes

The final blow to the relentless liars among the young Ibos who SHAMEFULLY do not know their own history came when the screenshot of the Longman Ibo dictionary were uploaded on that thread and the Longman entry under Egusi CLEARLY showed that the IBOS got the word Egusi as a LOAN word from the Yor (Yorubas). The entry also referenced Elili as the ACTUAL Ibo name for the Yoruba word Egusi. That also AFFIRMED that Egusi soup has been eaten in Yorubaland for centuries. These are facts that older Ibo scholars such as J.C. Echeruo who contributed to that Longman in Ibo dictionary already knew... That EGUSI is an original Yoruba word.

=>https://www.nairaland.com/8047476/igbo-soups-all-nigerian-tribes/1

Kudos to the Yoruba folks for having a Westernized and educated elite and middle class in the 1800s and for documenting their linguistic and cultural histories as far back as the 1800s which have enabled the ability to debunk the inciting LIES and historical FORGERIES by cultural thieves among the younger Ibos trying to STEAL and claim Yoruba words as theirs.
