Uyo ThisDay “Peace” Concert Ends In “Disaster”
http://www.saharareporters.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4598:-uyo-thisday-peace-concert-ends-in-disaster&catid=116:sr-readers-letters&Itemid=393

A “baptism of flying missiles” visited our Governor, Chief (Dr) Godswill Obot Akpabio on the night of Sunday December 20, 2009 at the Uyo Stadium, venue of the much publicized post-amnesty THISDAY Music Festival of Peace: Angry youths hauled at the governor sachets of pure water and canned drinks.

It was a disgraceful situation and was saved from degenerating when the governor’s security details rushed him under cover into his official car and sped off. The irate crowd continued with the hauling of stones and other things at his entourage as they move out of the venue.

The fracas ensued in the middle of the concert when the governor mounted the stage to announce that he spent N140million of the State’s resources to stage the concert which featured mostly foreign artistes. At that point of his speech, the angry crowd did not allow him to continue, but instead hauled missiles that forced him out of the stage; and the concert came to an abrupt end. I was at the Stadium and unfortunately one of the canned drinks hit me but (again) fortunately for me because the of loss velocity it did not cause much injury on me.

I travelled all the way from Ikot Ekpene (my place) to Uyo for the scheduled all-night concert and have never experienced thing of the sort before in my life. People started taking to their heels as the fracas erupted and I believe the incident should give the governor probably an insight of what awaits him when he starts real campaign for a second term in office; as the campaign seems to be the major thing happening in Akwa Ibom, in the last one and half years.

Udy Etop Akpabio,

U barely knew her.No sooner had u known her than you craved to satisfy ur
lust and need for sexxx.U dont appear to have got ur prorities right.Is sex the first and most
important need when establishing relationships?U didnt even invest in knowing her first thing.

No body holy pass.Go back to ur various exs,u d be shocked how many of them u got pregnant
and they aborted without bordering u with the info.

Majid should have won instead.

Watch the movie Crisis to Christ,u ll c why the guy is the best.

But,are we saying there are no good Nigerian actors to win the award
in our soil??

Pls I need clarifification.

Does American and British senate table this kind of issue?

Are there no institutions in the land to address this anomaly?

2 Kings 5:15: And he(Naaman) returned to the man of God (Elisha), he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.
016: But he(Elisha) said, As the LORD liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused

Afam:
And he is a pastor in one of the new generation churches I hear? Wonderful!

He is not just a pastor,
He is the Area Pastor of City of David Parish of Redeem Christian Church
Ligali Ayorinde,VI,Lagos

I know a guy,he is somwhere bwt 36-39.
Has a good job and a nice young wife.
The guy like woman like hell.But shocking,his catchment area is under 19.

I know another guy too (35-41)that goes for kiddies,
ask him why he goes for under age,he ll tell u "the tighter the sweeter"

I think its mad obsession.

caveat emptor: One chance.

I will be surprised if this coach and his players go beyond the second round.

He says no time to prepare.
Come to think of it,is it not the same set of players
that gave him the over hpyed results he is boasting of being the
best coach ever?
He played all friendlies,w/cup and nations cup qualifiers with this guys
yet he claims not to have enough time to train and blend?

In otherwords,the nations cup is just mere participatory.
Traditionally,the w/c is just to show face.

A looser loses even be4 he starts the contest proper.

Kanu is one Nigerian player i will always respect.

philip0906:
Kanu is officially 33 yrs old. he played division 1 football with iwayanwu national at the age of 16,

I think it is a good thing that youths break into first division clubs early.

Kanu they said,played division one at 16,
Utaka did same at 15.

That means these guys left secondary school at or be 14/15---highly impressive.

This confirms that Stanley Okoro having played for 6 different premier league
clubs in nigeria is absolutely 16.
Chukwudi(the skippo) is under 17.

The young ones are indeed learning from the masters of the game!!!

It is possible that your front tyres have expired.
Funny enough not everybody knows that tyres have expiry dates.

God blessed me with my wife this year,He gave me a sweet new job.
Join me in praising him.

Hosea 4.6
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge"

Proverb 4.7
"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding"

If they like let them sign open cheque for the preacher,na dem sabi.

I wonder why they are gathering to pray.

For crying out loud,here is the prayer authorised by the bible.

1 Timothy 2 verse 2-3.

"I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men,For kings, and for all that are in authority_{(on the condition)} that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; "

Quiet,peaceful life,are we living it?
Godliness and honesty,are those our leaders watchword?

Why cant these pastors face the truth and tell it like it is?

Int Airport-Apapa Port
by far lagos -benin nor get pair.

Are u sure he was not refering to Kevin Fans Club (KFC) mnet bba4?

Mass sacking looms at Oceanic Bank
By Sola Adebayo, Warri, Published: Tuesday, 15 Dec 2009

http://www.punchng.com/Articl.aspx?theartic=Art200912152394570

Indications emerged on Monday that the management of Oceanic International Bank Plc was set to lay-off about 1,400 workers in a cost cutting exercise desfined to return the bank to the path of profitability.

It was learnt that the figure represents 40 per cent of the bank’s 3,500 employees.

Findings by our correspondent further showed that the management of the bank, which declared a loss of N286bn on Friday had also approved 30 per cent salary reduction.

Already, 250 of the affected workers had received their sack letters in an exercise aimed at pruning down the bank’s workforce and cutting down operational costs.

A reliable source in the company told our correspondent on Monday that the list of the remaining 1,150 workers slated for early disengagement from the bank was ready. The source said their sack letters would soon be released.

It was gathered that the first casualties in the phased exercise were shown the way out of the bank for sundry offences, especially that their personal accounts were in the red.

Consequently fear has gripped the employees of the bank in the wake of the latest development.

Oceanic Bank is one of the troubled banks rescued by the Central Bank of Nigeria, which examined the books of the 24 banks in the country. The erstwhile management of the bank, headed by Mrs. Cecelia Ibru, was sacked on August 14 along with four other bank chiefs for granting huge non-performing loans, which affected the wellbeing of the financial institutions.

The Managing Director of the bank, Mr. John Aboh, had at a news conference in Lagos recently, said the pruning exercise was inevitable in view of the state of the bank. Aboh, was, however, silent on the details and magnitude of the exercise.

Aboh also said that some unviable branches of the bank had been shut down as part of measures to salvage the ailing financial institutions.

However, investigation by our correspondent showed that the management had compiled and approved a list of 1,400 workers to be eased out of the bank. A top official of the bank told our correspondent on Monday that the Aboh-led management had authorised the list for implementation.

The source further stated that the sack of about 250 officials of the bank last week was a prelude to the full implementation of the decision of the management.

The source stated, “I can tell you authoritatively that 250 workers have already been sacked for all manners of offences, including that their personal accounts were in debt. The management just started with that figure because the target is 40 per cent of the bank’s workforce of 3,500. To be specific, no fewer than 1,400 employees of the bank, which represents 40 per cent of the workforce, would be sacked at the end of the exercise.

“The management has also agreed to 30 per cent salary reduction.

“The management is very serious and committed to the exercise. Already, the workers in the administration department of the bank have been scattered and transferred to different parts of the country, especially the northern axis.

“Confusion and apprehension reign in Oceanic Bank because of the decision of the management. We just pray that the managing director will rescind the decision because of the acrimony that is likely to result from the implementation,” added the source who craved anonymity.

When contacted on the telephone, Aboh, who reiterated that sacking of workers was inevitable, however, said that it was premature to speculate on its details.

He added that it was not true that 40 per cent of the workforce would be affected.

Aboh, who confirmed that some workers were sacked last week, said the figure was less than 250. But he declined to specify the exact figure.

He said, “We are not done with the process yet because we are observing all procedures. We are looking at all files to enable us draw reasonable conclusion on the way forward. I told journalists at a press conference recently about the exercise (sacking of workers), but we are not ready for it yet. Wait until we do it,” Aboh added.



God help us.
A reform that will impact when the supposed beneficiaries
and the economy would have gone extinct.
