helinues:The two zones for southern presidency are South South and South East anything out side this, The presidency will simply perpetuate in the north until the greedy south west get sense. |
First of all, there is no verifiable source to this news. Making it look like a cheap lie. Secondly, if what was written about Obasa is on the contrary, I think he would have just released his documents online for the world to see Sahara reporters as propagators of fake news. Thirdly I wonder why till date he is yet to issue a rebuttal regarding that report, either in personal capacity or in official capacity as the speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly. |
Interesting |
chumada:Truely many are mad but few are roaming. |
Johnayoola:Please kindly tell that to the unfortunate Simplyleo. Let him realise how stupid and useless he is. |
Why are my not surprised. BABACHIR the grass cutting thief is campaigning for the burdillon bullion van thief, so that they will fret away the state coffers with bullion vans and turn to ask us " Is it your money"?. Birds of a feather they say. Never will a Chicago drug Baron be allowed to rule this country. Imagine the shame in the comity of Nations. God forbid. Yorubas please get me the likes of African Development Bank President as a presidential candidate, that's the stuff I want as a president not this greedy crook. |
MudRaker:Why not do your research. Have you not heard that his son used his father's money to fight the civil war? How much do you think can be used to fight a war. That's no joke. Please kindly do your independent research, and come up with facts. Once again, Google is your friend. |
IamWonderful:He was estimated to worth about FOUR BILLION US DOLLARS. His Royce Royce was used to carry Queen Victoria when she visited Nigeria. Google can help you confirm. |
1. Sir Louis Ojukwu was a great man. He accomplished and made so much wealth before he died. All without Oil. He was so Rich he did not need official papers to visit the Britain. Sir Ojukwu's Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith LWB was used to chauffeur Queen Elizabeth during her 1956 visit. 2. According to Forbes Africa, Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu, who founded the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), was the first Billionaire in Nigeria. He practically owned Victoria Garden, Lagos. 3. Sir Ojukwu went to lagos with nothing in 1929 aged just 20 but 10 years later, he was already managing his own chain of businesses which included, Ojukwu Stores, Ojukwu textiles and Ojukwu transportation company. 4. By 1950, just Ojukwu Transportation company had over 200 trucks in its fleet. How did he do it? Born Louis Philip Odumegwu Ojukwu in Nnewi in 1909, the only boy and second of four children,Sir Ojukwu went to Government primary School Asaba. 5. In 1922, he proceeded to the only secondary School in the Eastern region at the time, Hope Waddell training institute, Calabar. After completing his secondary School education in 1928. Sir Louis secured a job as a tyre sales clark with John Holt lagos in 1929. 6. It was working as a tyre clark the Sir Louis Ojukwu noticed that many Igbo traders who came to lagos to buy tyres also bought textiles as well. With his meagre saving, Sir Louis travelled down to Onitsha where he opened his first business venture called "Ojukwu stores" 7. and employed one of his relatives to oversee it. He then returned to lagos and started sending down textiles on Lorries to his shop while still working for John Holt. Sir Louise's textile boomed. By 1930, Louis bought a second hand truck 8. and employed a driver in other move his goods himself and 'Ojukwu transport company' was born. Sir Ojukwu worked tirelessly and by end of the 1930's, was the major transporter on the East-West Road. In 1939, on the outbreak of world war 2, the British Government requested 9. use of Sir Ojukwus fleet of trucks for the War effort to which he agreed. When the war ended in 1945, the British Goverment recognised the sacrifice he made and he was awarded a KBE (Knight of the British Empire). 10. The end of the war also created a high demand for raw materials from West Africa and Sir Ojukwus Transport business exploded sky high and he diversified into other businesses. Some of Sir Ojukwu's early drivers such as Chief Ilodibe (Ekene Dili Chukwu) 11. and Chief Izuchukwu (Izuchukwu Transport) would later become Transport moguls themselves (Igbo wealth Creation). Sir Louis was also a financial pillar of Ziks NCNC party and when the party came to power in 1960, Sir Louis was offered the position of Finance Minister 12. which he turned down, the position ultimately went to Okotie-Eboh. Sir Louis died in Nkalagu, present day Ebonyi state, in 1966. Some.of his key achievements includes ; - The first President of the Nigerian Stock Exchange. - President, African Continental Bank 13. - Chairman, Nigerian cement company (NIGERCEM) - CEO, Ojukwu Transport company...over 5000 fleet of trucks. - Chairman, Nigerian National Shipping Line...over 100 ships and vessels - Chairman, Lion Of Africa Insurance Company 14. - Chairman, BISCO Nigeria Limited cool Chairman, Nigerian Industrial Development Bank. founded to specifically give loans to industries - Vice President, lagos Chamber Of Commerce - Chairman, Palmline Shipping company - Chairman, Nigerian Produce Marketing board 15. - Director, Shell D'Arcy Petroleum - Director, Thomas Wyatt & Son - Director, Nigerian Coal corporation - Director, Guiness Nigeria Limited - Director, Nigerian Tobacco Company - Director, Daily Times of Nigeria 16. Sir Louis Ojukwu also owned numerous building, landed properties and stocks. It is estimated that as at the time he died in 1966, he was worth about 40 Billion Dollars in today's money. How many Billionaires in Nigeria today do we know their background? 17. It is not a coincidence that his town, Nnewi, has the highest number of Billionaires in Nigeria today. You can clearly see the effect of wealth distribution. He inspired many of those Billionaires from Nnewi and beyond. Until a man that believes & understands wealth distribution Rule Nigeria, we will not make progress. It will continue to be a wild goose chase. Feudal mentality is nothing but slavery. |

I rememner prior to 2015 elections, Buhari and APC were making noise of how they will stop Boko Haram, how he will lead from the front as a retired general , today the story has changed to Nigerians knows we have done our best. It simple. You can't give what you don't have. Buhari is a failure all round. Yes Nigerians have seen your best of: 1. First making a statement that an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the North. 2. Poorly equipping our gallant soldiers to fight Boko Haram, and most times, some of their allowances and salaries are withheld by their superior officers. 3. Collecting billions for security vote yet the security of the nation keep detororiating. 4. Retaining the incompetent service chiefs, instead of allowing new people to come on board, you retained the set of failures till date. 5. Treating captured terrorists to a buffet and releasing them back to the society all in the name of " Repentant Boko Haram. Buhari you are simply a disaster as long as leadership in the 21st century is concerned. CC HELINUS OMENKA NGENEUKWUENU AFAMED ARREWA SIMPLYLEO and all other resident zombies The monster the north created to grab power has now become a National problem. |
ProfOlu:Useless news from a useless OP |
Okooo |
Is this how APC plan to win their election with this kind of propaganda? It's becoming boring and stale, even Lie Mohammed will be disappointed with the people that put up this trash. The same Shuaibu that took Oshiomhole to the gutters just yesterday. It's obvious APC is scared of Shuaibu's " Street Credibility", and thus has become jittery. |
omenka:Even the ones you think are learned and exposed will never cease to disappoint. |
