AjanleKoko: LOL. You dey refer to death metal, Marilyn Manson, and all that, I'm sure.
Well . . . considering that the likes of Jay-Z, Kanye West, Beyonce, and even D'Banj are considered as Satanists nowadays. I mean, you need to see that Li'l Wayne video where he was looking like a demon.

Anyway, death metal is just one genre of rock music. Even born-again christians have their own 'christian rock' wink
funny enough na Christian rock revitalize my love for rock music. Those Hillsong boys dey jam rock like no man business.

KenGali: That is according to the Gospel of Sanusi - whose rescue mission is to print money for cash gifts to northern universities, his boko Haram comerades and co.

Since Soludo's era how many other countries has Nigerian banks ventured into?

VOTE SOLUDO FOR ANAMBRA STATE GOVERNOR
I guess he was asleep while Atuche, Ibru and Akingbola were redefining the art of stealing using depositors money to play casino. Or were the charges fabricated by Sanusi and his Boko brothers?
With all the grammar Soludo blows in articles, he has never explained how the banking system was rotting under his watch.

jp philips: these lagosians don't know what they are enjoying till they exchange fashola for Amaechi.
the kinda bad roads in ph, insecurity etc, thank God for cash limit on withdrawal, cos Armed robbers are everywhere in ph, yet we have a Gov.
they are even seeing contractors on their mono rail site and they are complaining, Amaechi's mono rail site is like a shrine.
ACN in Rivers state don't know what to say to him anymore, dey don talk tire go sleep.
i am beginning to come around to the idea that robbery in PH is politically engineered.
On the issuer of raods, Amaechi dey try. There are bad roads even in Lagos. My problem with Amaechi is the quality of some of the road projects. The contractors seem compromised. Look at Okporo road. That road has been in one state of disrepair and reconstruction for the last 2 years.You can't even tell where the work begins and where it ends. 2 bloody years for one small stretch of road!
There must be an ikwerre shrine that the Agip road/Ada George road axis has been dedicated to. That entire axis has been under reconstruction since 2009. Yet work is still in progress. What are they doing?
Like i always say, he has done well (considering his predecessor) but a whole lot more could have been done.

EFCC must revisit that retirement benefit that Amaechi calls monorail project. That project is a big sore on his govt.
Politics › The Anambra Relocations by mbulela(op): 7:41pm On Aug 09, 2013
August 7, 2013
If initial reports were to be believed, agents of the Lagos State Government headed by Governor Babatunde Fashola, a lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, had gone on the streets of Lagos, seized 67 persons of Anambra State or Igbo origin on their way to their markets, homes or other legitimate activity, bundled them unto some trucks, driven fast and furiously towards Anambra State and dumped them somewhere at the foot of the Niger Bridge in Onitsha! When I read this report, I was initially shocked, then incredulous…and then I knew there was probably more to the report than it disclosed. Was there anything in Fashola’s record to indicate a disposition to act in such manner? I didn’t think so!

Fashola’s commissioner for budget and planning, Ben Akabueze is from Anambra State; the head of the state’s infrastructure regulatory commission is also from that state; Fashola recently built a housing estate and named it after former Commonwealth Secretary-General, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, also from Anambra! Recently when popular actress, Ngozi Nwosu needed help to meet the cost of treatment of a kidney ailment, Fashola it was who came up with N4.5million, three quarters of the funds required. Lagos State employs many non-indigenes in its civil service, and its traffic management agency, LASTMA was headed by Young Arebamen, an indigene of Edo State. Minutes after I read the suspicious report and as I pondered these issues, I saw tweets on Twitter posted by a former local and international office holder of Igbo extraction condemning the actions attributed to Fashola. I cautioned her against jumping to conclusions and made up my mind to seek more information before making further comments. I also had personal reasons for concern on the matter, given the emotions I knew would be generated by the report-my sister-in-law, the wife of my most junior brother of same parents, hailed from Anambra State!

And what did my direct enquiries from very senior officials of the Lagos State Government reveal? I was presented with oral and documentary evidence of the true state of facts-on April 9 2013, an official of the Lagos State Government (LASG) wrote to the Anambra State Government (ANSG) informing it of 14 persons who were in the state’s rehabilitation centre who “claimed to be indigenes of your state” and requested ANSG’s “urgent response to screen them to verify if they are truly from your state”. ANSG through its Lagos Liaison Office replied on April 15 acknowledging receipt of the LASG letter and requested “particulars of the 14 persons” in order to “facilitate their integration with their families if they are from Anambra”. LASG promptly wrote a second letter dated April 29 providing names, towns/villages, LGAs and state of origin of the 14 persons and stressing the need for ANSG’s officials to arrange a physical interaction with these people. We have since discovered that the governments of several other states-Anambra (!), AkwaIbom and Rivers States as well as New York and Hawaii in the USA have implemented a similar policy.

I also understand and agree that there was a political context to the behavior and complaints of the Anambra State Government on this matter – a governor who resorts to ethnic mobilization as the best route to ensure his party wins an imminent election! What surprised me however was why the majority of Igbo people were willing to accept this propaganda given as I mentioned earlier Fashola’s record on the subject? The emotional frenzy that accompanied the matter is also curious given a certain context-many years ago, Enugu State, the erstwhile capital of the old Eastern Region expelled government employees from other Igbo states; more recently Abia State sacked all civil servants from neighbouring states, most of whom were from Imo; as we speak, the government of Ebonyi State refuses to allow an Anambra indigene acquire control of a cement company situated in Ebonyi; and the controversy over the Mbaise people of Imo State’s vehement rejection of a Catholic Bishop from Anambra rages on!!! Clearly there were other factors that accounted for the outrage over the actions of the Lagos State Government, which were not reflected in these other more egregious instances!

I was also surprised that in spite of information that the policy of the Lagos State Government on resettlement of destitute and vagrant persons with their families and communities had been implemented in respect of persons from Oyo, Ogun and Osun, and in several Northern States, the anger in several commentators refused to abate. One caller on a radio phone-in programme in fact argued that Lagos State should have put the people in prison rather than repatriate them towards their communities. And then I realized that the argument was not really about the welfare of the persons concerned! If it was about their welfare, ANSG would have gone to visit and help its indigenes, rather than play politics with their fate! If the focus was their welfare, it would be clear to all that when you rehabilitate homeless, mentally-retarded, drug-addicted, and penniless people, you don’t release them to go back on the streets; you send them to areas where they would have a family or community support system, and in their circumstances, the best places for these destitute persons was back in their villages!

And then I realized that for some, the argument was really a proxy for another argument over the ownership of Lagos-that Lagos was a “no-man’s land” and that Igbos were the greatest contributors to the development of Lagos. That is a debate I’m not prepared to take part in except to caution that the other city in which such an argument is ongoing is Jos!

However, i don't trust politicians and if Mr. Akabueze becomes one, i will be at a crossroad.

Politics › Keyamo Petitions Prisons Over Attempt To Sodomise Charles Okah by mbulela(op): 8:44am On Jul 31, 2013
31 Jul 2013


Lagos lawyer, Festus keyamo, has written a petition to the Comptroller General of Nigeria Prisons, over allegations of acts of sodomy taking place in Kuje Prison, in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

In the petition dated Tuesday, Keyamo complained that his client, Mr Charles Okah, elder brother of jailed Henry Okah, was almost raped by some prison officials on the pretext that they wanted to confirm if he had stuffed some substance in his anus.

According to the petition, “On Wednesday, 3rd July, 2013, at about 6.30 am, some prison warders, specifically Mr. Isah Musa (the chief clerk), Mr. Tanko Gokuje, (the assistant yard master) and three (3) other prison warders (hereinafter referred to as the culprits) entered our client’s cell (No.1) and demanded to search his anus because they claimed they had information that he was hiding ‘incriminating’ materials therein. Before entering his cell, they made sure all other inmates were locked up in their cells.”

The lawyer maintained that although his client protested the so-called examination, the warders overwhelmed him in the cell, and when he eventually allowed the examination to be carried out, he saw Musa, the chief clerk, undressing, armed with a full and “sustained” erection of his organ, forcing him (Okah) to raise the alarm, calling for help.

According to the petition, Okah had heard of such acts of sodomy within the prison among other inmates. But until that fateful morning, he had not experienced it.

In his words: “Having heard from other inmates in the past that this is a known pattern used by warders to sodomise inmates, our client initially resisted the attempt, but was forced to succumb after much pressure and insistence by the culprits.

“However, having succumbed, to the utter shock and dismay of our client, he saw that Mr. Isah Musa pulled off his clothes and with the sustained erection attempted to carry out the acts of sodomy on him. To achieve this, our client was then held to the ground by Mr. Tanko Gokuje and three (3) other warders. Our client had to intensify his struggle and resistance to prevent the completion of the criminal act. Our client screamed for help and this was heard by other inmates.”

Keyamo said although the report of the incident was made, the prison authorities led by DCP Felix Lawrence, pleaded with Okah not to formalise the complaint and urged him to “kill the report”.

The lawyer noted that “this criminal act has been reported as a common and recurring phenomenon in the Nigerian prisons. It simply shows the despicable level of moral decadence of the officers who are paid to take charge of prison inmates.”

While urging the Comptroller General of Prisons to investigate the allegation, Keyamo called for the application of “appropriate sanctions” on those found wanton in the case.

Business › Re: Are There Venture-Capitalists In Nigeria? by mbulela: 7:20pm On Jul 26, 2013
AjanleKoko: I don't agree.
VCs are not loan sharks. There are a plethora of idea-driven startups out there. Or at least ideas.
If someone came to me with a good idea, I'd develop it and commercialize it, in exchange for equity. I wouldn't give seed money to anybody, the market isn't there just yet. What most local ideas need in Nigeria is the exposure and the engine to drive it into the profitability realm.
I can't hold brief for @obowunmi but i don't thinkthat is the crux of what he is referring to. The legal system spans from patent ownership to the ability of the VC to enforce contractual agreements as it concerns the product or service. With a messed up legal system like ours,few VCs have the stomach to spend years in court with an entrepreneur fighting over a dispute around the sale of an idea that the VC nurtured to fruition. By the time the court case is settled,the conglomerate or big player that was keen on buying the product would have moved on.

Do you actually believe a portion of the things you typed up here?

There is a difference between VCs and PE firms.
The difference seems to be muddled up in this thread.

There a few VCs around. A well funded local VC has substantial stake in one of the more popular mobile money outfits.
However,there are very few VCs in naija sha. The legal environment is a very limiting factor.

philips70: The points raised by the learned lady are not even the main issue about that facebook write-up posted on twitter by El-Rufai. You guys need to read it and go over all the comments mostly made by Muslims. You will be so shocked the North is filled with many Yerimas. The poor lady got the bashing of her life by thick skinned religious bigots. Mehn, after reading all that I hated the more Sir Fredrick Lord Lugard and all his cohorts. This is obviously a nation of many countries. I do not believe I belong to the same nation with those speakers. No, not at all. I personally place a curse on anyone who covertly or openly go against the division of this so called country. I just urge everyone to read all of that including the comments and you will see that there will never be an end to boko haram insurgency no matter the efforts of the JTF.
I took your advise and read the comments. I have always been convinced that this country is held together by the greed of the ruling class.My belief has been reinforced. That there are people in this country with such warped beliefs? SMH
