This is all what you have to say on the memo, GMD issuing contracts without approval of the board he head worth billions and you here portraying silliness.

And you are here portraying daftness. I repeat Baru and Kachikwu are birds of the same feather. Both of them should be probed. If it upsets you so much, hug the nearest transformer with wet hands!

Oprah Winfrey.

Oprah Winfrey spent every single day of her life on tv for 25years + . She kept calling Steadman her bf.

They have been married for over 30years.

That is Oprah Winfrey. There is no similarity between FFK and Oprah. Was Oprah married 3 times to 3 different people, like FFK the serial philanderer?

@salt1, who told you Nigeria we hail thee was not popular which was why the anthem was changed? Who is the liar?

YelloweWest:
Ever heard of a secret marriage or low key? Involving just 2 or 3 persons?

By the way how is his family ur business?

He calls her hos wife.
She calls him her husband.

Abi her papa complain give u ?

Guy low key wetin? A grandfather that is not even divorced from his 3rd wife yet? If you are his PR person, tell him say na yeye we dey take im matter do for here.

FFK made his life & family everyone's business, by splashing them all over the internet. If you and FFK do not want people to pass comments about him, he should stop flaunting his sordid lifestyle on social media. This is a public forum, and it is a place meant for people to pass comments. Precious and FFK can call themselves anything they want. The rest of us know the truth.

FILEBE:
Dude. Do you know this girl? Even if you do, you should not invade her page like this.

If she did not want it to become public knowledge she would not have posted it on her FB page. Is she a learner?

DutchBruh:
Buhari just keep appointing the biggest thieves into goverment. He only appointed Baru to the GMD post not based on merit but because he was from the North.

Kachikwu is no better than Baru. He should stop pretending to be a saint. Both of them should be probed.

generationz:
Come, why the thing Come dey pepper you for body? Abi dem tell you say the geh papa dry complain?

Many of those who will judge them here, their dads never paid their moms bride price. All that happened was she got pregnant, moved in and became tagged as wife.

What two consenting adults choose to do with their lives is nobody's business.

Pepper wetin? Na comedy their case be for me and the rest of us here, o! Who takes FFK seriously? Those who see him as their role model are the ones I feel sorry for. And this kind of topic just serves to remind us that clowns like FFK are just to be sneered at. Sorry if you are part of his fan club, o!

Those like FFK who chose to flaunt their lifestyle openly for public consumption, shouldn't complain if people use them for target practice.

RedboneSmith:
So Yoruba names have finished that this one had to go and borrow a fictional name from European fantasy.

Don't mind FFK. He named the child after himself. The boy's full name is Joshua Oluwafemi Emmanuel Lotanna Aragorn Fani-Kayode.

frank043:
You are right. Wing Cmdr... Typo error. You sef for know say na typo error na. Lol

Milestones:
LIVE IN LOVER, ENJOY FFK WHILE IT LAST. NOTE MANY HAVE GONE, THIS KIND DOES NOT LAST LONG WITH FFK, EKUN!!!!!

I no know say you sef see am! He has married 3 wives already, and sent each of them packing! It is only a matter of time before this one too will get the red card!

YelloweWest:
She is his wife. They are married.

Which dirty marriage? Where was it held, and when? Who were the guests present at the occasion? Or you are assuming they are married because you saw a fake wedding ring on her finger? FFK is not divorced from his 3rd wife yet, o!

frank043:
Navy captain for the Navy, Colonel for the army and Group Captain for the airforce.

Others below this rank have their respective authorities oo. Don't see a Commander, Lt Col and Lt Cmdr. (NN, NA & NAF respectively) tomorrow and tell him he's not a senior officer ooooo

Which one is Lt Cmdr in NAF again? I thought it is Wing Commander in NAF?

Gerrard59:
It is true. I'm not paid to lie on NL. If the government does a good job in all ramifications, I commend and vice versa. Well, the situation exhibits lack of foresight and planning by the authorities. Electricity problems that other hospitals' have, to be solved? What about the Indians? They have fled!! You folks seem to have so much hope in Nigerian governments.

Una try!

My earlier comment still stands. Most of the other state govts have not built anything remotely close to this kind of hospital in Akwa Ibom. At least the edifice is there, and it is still standing. Once govt does something reasonable and good, it should be commended and when it fails to hit the mark, it should be chastised. Problems such as lack of electricity and manpower can be solved, once the state govt makes an effort to tackle it properly. For me, Akwa Ibom has tried!

kjhova:
Nice topic you sent me to read and I found it enjoyable. I hope you are also open minded enough to have my viewpoint on the topic.

I have related family who are Igalla and from Olamaboro. I spent 3 days in Okpo in 2013 attending the patriarch's burial. You could get from their village to Ninth Mile on okada. These border towns linking Kogi, Benue and Enugu together have long history of interaction which has created similarities in language, cuisine, culture etc. For this reason, the Igalla's in this section may have acquired the "Z" alphabet, market day system etc from their Igbo neighbours. If so, this does not in anyway make them Igbo.

That said, it comes down to self identification. Should a distinct community self identify as Igalla, even if they speak a language considered as Igbo, then they are Igalla. And this is vice versa also for Igalla speaking communities who may self identify as Igbo. To my knowledge thou, I am not aware that any community on the Kogis side of the border is claiming Igbo.

My state, Edo, is also useful as an example. We have place name Akoko Edo and we have Akoko people in Ondo. Should we consider the Akokos as Edo or Yoruba?

Also, I did my NYSC in Ekiti State where I noticed that the Ekitis call money "Egho". Bar the difference in tonal inflection, it is same as Edo word for money which is "Egho"! Chair, in Ekiti, is "ijoko" same as "ijoko" in Edo North. Mother is "iye" and "iyo" in both languages. The respect plural pronoun "eh" which is used in place of "oh" to refer to adults in Yoruba is completely missing in Ekiti as it is in Edo.

Do all of the above mean that Ekitis and Ondos are Edo? Of course not. It only means that these cultures have inter-related for a long time and have thus shared many aspects together.

IPOB miscreants cannot, by any stretch of imagination, claim Kogi or Benue or any parts therein in their map. The only people who can do so are these ethnicities in Kogi and Benue themselves. This whole sordid affair is beginning to look like 1937/38 when the Austrian mad man, Adolph Hitler, an usurper of power in Germany (where he is not a citizen), began to clamour for incorporation of "Suddeten Germans" in western Czechoslovakia despite that the "Suddetens" hardly ever clamoured for such. At any rate, this led to the destruction of Czechoslovakia, the 2nd World War and eventually destruction of Germany itslef.

Most Igbo's I know in Lagos are against this IPOB stupidity and I hope that this silent majority eventually carry the day to save many from the avoidable carnage that is coming.

What a beautiful piece!! How on earth did I miss it? Well done, bro.' Good work!

ManTiger:
Yea, thanks so much for your encouragement, we are 3 brothers and our youngest brother is currently studying in Canada, whe have tons of research and the latest one we are currently pursuing is called CIEID, it is solely to enhance children's education because we believe that children are 20% of our current population but 100% of our future. Our facebook page and twitter handle is @CieidWorldWide, My twitter handle is @MideMrPossible, I share stories about my life from time to time in a comical way, the truth is when I did this research, I was just 22yrs Old, fresh graduate, no job, no source of income but I never let the innovation lead me to destruction, many has been showing their displeasure through my emails and DM how stupid I was but I wasn't stupid, the system made all of us handicapped! There is more we can all do if there is an enabling environment.

Thanks once again.

Why don't you try bringing up your research again? Today there are tech centres like CCHub, Venture Platform, Start Innovation Hub , and other business incubation hubs that support start ups, which you might be able to work with and develop your applications. Some of them could also introduce you to venture capitalists, who might be interested in funding your innovation. But you would need to do a proper documentation and business plan, to get them to look at your project. Surf the web for the info you need. Good luck.

ManTiger:
Guy, some research are too big to consume all alone I know this because I am the owner of the twitter handle. I lived in an environment where there was no electricity, to accomplish the research alone then was a very difficult task and not getting motivation or someone to show interest in the idea was killing me by leading me into depression gently.

I did tried everything to get one of these PayTv to listen to my plea but they turned deaf hear, enjoying free browsing cannot solve my problem because I run generator to power the PC and my PC back up was so poor that it can only last for 45min.

I needed $2220 to document and license the invention back then according to AORCS (US Attorney), I raise and sent over $1000+ to the lawyer that was meant to facilitate it and get an angel investor to invest in the idea but I also ended up being scammed!

Put yourself in my shoe and imagine how difficult life was as a fresh graduate!

But you could have engaged lawyers in Nigeria, to document and file patents & trademarks for you here, locally. Why use an American lawyer?

nonoski:
What u posted above shows u don't understand the functions of AMCON.

Their duty is to make ur toxic loan non-toxic which includes taking over ur company on an interim basis, appointment of an interim management team to overhaul the company and make it profitable again so that the company can continue to service their loan obligations and then had it back to u when they are sure the company wouldn't default again.

Just like they did to Capital oil, Aero Contractors, Union Bank, Oceanic Bank etc.

AMCON is owned by the government and funded with tax payers money.

Did I argue with you about the functions of AMCON? Didn't I say a receiver manager was appointed for Silverbird in 2016?

nonoski:
He also took the said loan from Union Bank during Obasanjo's tenure and left it till AMCON took over the loan in 2012. AMCON later had to seize his silverbird due to non servicing of the loan.

AMCON has released Silverbird back to him, after he made a substantial payment to offset part of the loan early this year. A receiver manager was appointed to supervise the finance and administrative functions of the company in 2016.

SilverBird Group Hails AMCON / February 24, 2017

The Silverbird Group yesterday thanked the management and leadership of the Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) for working with Silverbird through what it described as a “challenging period” in their existence.

The Vice President Silverbird Group, Guy Murray-Bruce, in a statement also hailed AMCON for their support in helping to resolve the challenges the organisation in a fair, patriotic and businesslike manner.

Murray-Bruce added: “We particularly want to single out Mr. Ahmed Lawal Kuru, Managing Director and CEO of AMCON for his dedication and commitment to ensure that Silverbird survives and goes on to thrive. Nigeria benefits when public servants show altruistic leadership and Mr. Kuru’s actions have renewed our faith in Nigeria’s public service.

“Let us also thank the Receiver/Manager appointed by the corporation, Messrs. M.A. Banire & Associates on the amicable resolution of the challenges that can arise in business. Our working relationship will doubtlessly be a template for how to resolve future issues that may face other organisations.

“Finally, we wish to emphatically register our heartfelt appreciation to all our stakeholders (employees, tenants, clients, viewers and listeners, suppliers, government parastatals, shareholders and Directors) for standing firm with us during this period.”

According to him, the Silverbird Group is strong, thriving and ready to face the future “with great faith that the best is yet to come for us and it is because of the support outlined above that the Silverbird Group has and will remain the pacesetter in the media, entertainment and real estate sectors of the economy.” https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2017/02/24/silverbird-group-hails-amcon/

HyDef:
No sir... As fictional a name as 'Legolas'.

I was hoping to see his wife dressed in a Snow White costume, and his son dressed up like Aragorn, but alas.

Hehehe.... una no go kill person with laugh for here!

wealthpin:
what is the meaning of this?

You can read, can't you?

SOLMICHAEL:
Full barrel, deal with your life first before you interfere with others personal lives.

See this one!! You don dey shack kai-kai again abi? Who brought their personal life to public domain? Were they not the ones who did so? You better go and advise them. FFK is already a grandfather, cavorting around town with a girl his daughter's age, while flaunting his shamelessness and lewd behaviour.

SarkinYarki:
He was a Manger for the platinum selling group Shalama too so the money could have come from anywhere oo

Ah, I had even forgotten about that Group. Don't forget that he won the franchise to stage the Miss World pageant in Nigeria in 2002, before the event was marred by news of riots up North, and they had to cancel it, and host the event in another country. The foreign organisers had already spent a lot of money through Silverbird, to make preparations for that event before it was cancelled. So we are talking about a man that has been involved in local and foreign entertainment business, for many years. Obviously, he would have earned enough to buy a home abroad!

nonoski:
He took a loan from Union Bank and bought a house in Hollywood.
He wants the bank to go under so that depositors and workers will loose their money and means of livelihood respectively.
Clap for ur self

Were you his loan manager in Union Bank, for you to know that the proceeds of the loan was deployed in buying a house abroad?

SarkinYarki:
He has had that house before he ever dreamt of becoming senator and yes it was bought for 5 million dollars then but it's very mischievous of SR to try to pass it as a recent purchase

Na im me self I dey think, o! After running Silverbird Group for years, as well as his TV and radio station, why wouldn't he be able to afford a house abroad? Remember he used to bring American stars to perform in different concerts in Nigeria, several years ago. And he made good money from those concerts during that period.

SOLMICHAEL:
What is your own, analytical analyst?

When empty barrels like you have nothing to say, they resort to meaningless rhetoric.

Tolexander:
hmmm

Common sense senator!

It may be his hard earned money!

He has been running Silverbird Group for years now. He owns Silverbird Galleria in Lagos, Port-harcourt & Abuja. He also has a Silverbird outlet in Nairobi Kenya, in addition to owning a TV station and a radio station. So why do people think it would be difficult for him to buy a house abroad? I am even surprised he hasn't bought one long before becoming a senator!

diva90:
I believe they are married legally via the court. Even if not so, she has practically assumed the position of a wife in his life

You believe it, or you know it for a fact? In which court did he marry her? Tell us, o! He is not even divorced from his 3rd Ghanian wife yet, so when did they get married? Or is it because you saw a fake ring on her finger? She has assumed a very shaky position in his life, if you think she has any position at all.

brightgreat:
Is it your table?....learn to mind your biz

And you should learn to engage your senses, when you talk.

userplainly:
"gallivanting" is that the kind of fancy words they teach u in kings landing?

I could have used other words, but I was trying to be polite.

GoroTango:
I thought they got married sometime last year. Anyway, its FFK's political leanings that I'm concerned with and not his private life

They are not married. Who attended the wedding and where was it held?

Larwin:
@laudate...the images me am looking at here can accommodate cars conveniently. Each front should be able to take 4cars and the sides still have space...except if its dangote trucks the occupants are using...Its just the camera shot angle that makes it look as if it has no space.

I understand yr point about each apartment having a separate borehole. but i am 40% sure all these boreholes might end up being useless at the end. Remember they make no mention of treatment plant, i believe they left that for the occupants to solve on there own. That is the problem we have with Lagos. Also the specification of the borehole drilled needs to be question. Is it the type where the occupants will be battling with salt, iron or shits...Did they look into environmental/nature protection scheme.

Have you seen mud/land slide before? if not but am sure you would have seen borehole collapsing, its a junior brother to land slides because the formations are getting weaker day by day. It might not happen now but think about the future generation. I dont know the competency of the contractor involved but he should have gone for a centralize borehole, a central treatment house, not plant in this case and employ a facility manager to be in charge. each building can have there stanchion and geepee tanks. if properly done, i dont think there will be any issue of not having water, maintenance will nt b a problem and in the end lot of lives will be saved and future generations will be preserved.

I don't think we are looking at the same images, o! Where exactly would those 4 cars be accommodated in each compound? I can't see it, o! Only the sides of the house have a little space. And if they park behind each other on that narrow main access way in front of the houses, then it means they would have to wake up each neighbour to move his car, before the next car can successfully get out of the way. All dat wahala for a 55 million naira house? Mba nu!

As for the central borehole, I totally agree that it is better to have a central one than having individual boreholes, but trust me with the Naija mentality of our people, and the poor way facility management is practised in this country, you would definitely opt for your own borehole to avoid wahala. I know several estates with a centralised borehole & water treatment facilities, where such facilities have either fallen into disrepair, or are no longer functional, or have become a subject of dispute or have simply been turned off just to spite the residents, because they had a disagreement about water rates/tariff. Abeg, for Nigeria the 'tori dey always get k-leg!

Instead of having different boreholes, to avoid a mudslide like you said they could have different GeePee storage tanks for water and buy their water supplies from haulage tankers.
