The common denominator here, is the tv show Morning Ride.

Pamela Mojekwu was the most famous fitness trainer in Nigeria in the 1980s and early 1990s. She had her own tv show on Lagos Television, an exercise segment on Morning Ride (on NTA2 Channel 5) and columns in Vanguard Newspaper, Lagos Weekend newspaper and many magazines.
She also owned an exercise studio called The Bodyshop. Its headquarters was in Ilupeju, with branches at Surulere and Festac. Stars like Onyeka Onwenu, were regular customers at The Bodyshop.
She had a little daughter that suffered from sickle-cell disease. The daughter used to appear in some of her exercise sessions on Morning Ride, performing exercises for children and sicklers (the daughter was around 7 or 8 years old at that time).
She and her assistant (the karate instructor at The Bodyshop) also appeared in a Vitamalt advert.
She left Morning Ride in the mid-1990s, in order to take care of her daughter (in fact, she practically vanished from the scene).
Pamela Mojekwu moved to the US in the early 2000s, partly in order to get treatment for her daughter. She was involved in a car accident in 2009, in which her (now grown up) daughter died.
The City of Chicago charged her with vehicular homicide. The court found her guilty of vehicular homicide and she was jailed.

Danladi Bako created Morning Ride in 1988. He was the host of the show from 1988-1992.
It was the best breakfast show on Nigerian tv at that time. Participants at all the weekend's entertainment and social events usually appeared on Morning Ride to promote their shows.
Contestants in Miss Intercontinental, Most Beautiful Girl In Nigeria, Miss Nigeria and other such beauty pageants usually appeared on Morning Ride the morning before the show. I predicted that Miss Jamaica (Sandra Foster) would win the 1989 Miss Intercontinental pageant after seeing her on Morning Ride with Danladi Bako.
Foreign and Nigerian music stars usually appeared on Morning Ride before performing at concerts in Lagos. Musicians also appeared on Morning Ride while trying to promote their latest album. They also had reports from Super Eagles training camps (before any important match), clips of the latest society wedding, etc.
Danladi Bako also created Master Sports (a popular sports programme on NTA2 Channel 5) in 1991. Master Sports had the best sports presenters at that time (Paul Bassey, Chris Eseka, Mitchel Obi and Sam John). He was the first producer of the show and he often appeared as a guest (another regular guest was Mumini Alao).
President Obasanjo appointed him as the director general of the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) in 1999 and he resigned in 2002 to go into politics.
He was turbanned as the Kogunan Sokoto by the late Sultan of Sokoto in 2001.
3)Woman in fourth picture Tina Onwudiwe had two massive hits in Nigeria in the early 1990s: Black On Black (Asiko Lo Laiye) and a remake of Bob Marley's Turn Your Lights Down Low.
Miss Onwudiwe was also a stylist/fashion designer and she designed most of the costumes that were used in her videos (and some of the costumes that were used in Charlie Boy's videos).
She was nicknamed African Oyinbo because she had a Nigerian father and a British mother.
She brought Charlie Boy to Lagos in the early 1980s, helped him to get a record deal, paid his house rent for two years and helped him to develop his image.
She died of lung cancer in Johannesburg in 2001. Several Nigerian musicians, especially Charlie Boy and Onyeka Onwenu, tried to raise funds for her treatment when a magazine published an article about her battle with cancer. They staged a concert called Time Out For Tyna.

Femi Segun was a polyglot. He studied modern European languages at the University of Ife and he spoke English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and a host of other languages. He worked as an interpreter/protocol officer at the Presidency/CVU from 1983-1990.
He was the third host of Morning Ride (after Danladi Bako and Okojie). He hosted the show from the early 1990s to the late 1990s. The two pictures above were taken on the set of the show.
He was Yeni Anikulapo-Kuti's husband (and therefore, Fela's son-in-law). There are rumours about why they divorced, but I won't go into that here.
He was killed in a sports bike accident on Admiralty Way, Lekki in 2014.
I believe that everybody can recognise Onyeka Onwenu (carrying the dumbbells in the second photograph). I don't need to introduce her.
She has appeared on Morning Ride many times. I remember one particular occasion, when she appeared with King Sunny Ade to promote their songs about family planning ( "Choices" and "Wait For Me" ) in 1990. Danladi Bako was interviewing them and they were responding to his questions, when an air force officer sitting near me exclaimed, "Wow!" He was shocked because he didn't know that King Sunny Ade could speak proper English. He kept on exclaiming throughout that segment, "Wow! You don't mean it! This is Sunny!".
Princess 'Deun Adedoyin-Solarin was probably the youngest presenter on Nigerian television in the late 1970s, when she started presenting programmes on the NBC (NTA) at the age of 17.
She co-hosted Morning Ride in the mid-1990s and she currently has her own show, Princess Arise on Ben Tv.
How beautiful that the overzealous security forces will never see nor arrest these ones threatening people who want to exercise their lawful right to peaceful protest.
The job is to demonize the protest, stop the protest and carry on with bad governance.
Elliotwaveforec: Greedy farmers are the cause! The northern farmers are weaponising food to destabilise the government of Tinubu; they deliberately and arbitrarily raised prices of foods. The protection these greedy farmers have been enjoying is being removed through the removal of import duty on some products. They will beg the government to return the tariff, this I know.
Food inflation will surely come down and the Naira will rise to 910 from the present 1625; it will not touch the highest of 1750 before it drops to 910
A Forex technical analyst has spoken as it concerns Naira value, so shall it be! Bookmark this page for future reference.
And they also tied his hands and blocked his smart brain from innovating and driving production. Battling so hard to make a bad product look good, dead on arrival.
Mace0lane: As far as I am concerned, if nobody can show any dead body at the scene of the protest then nobody was killed at the protest.
We can all see dead body of people killed in the Kenya protest which infuriated the protester, that is what killing at the protest mean.
All those shouting about killing during endsars should quote me with anyone shut or dead at Lekki tollgate where the endsars protest happened.
Tales By moonlight show us just a single photo of anybody dead killed at Lekki tollgate where the Endsars happened not start telling us tales by moonlight story.
Endsars protest is the only protest across the globe security operatives opened fire on innocent protesters yet there is blood on the floor.
but you can not provide a single photo of any dead at the scene ? Abi na later then go die for Endsars.
Based on the assumption that you care about the truth?
Lol. You are indeed naive if you think Tinubu is interested in anybody else but himself.
It really goes to show how self deluded you folks supporting Tinubu are.
The article below has been flying around online for sometime now. You must not have seen it.
Read and be informed:
Copied.
When I saw the Malta 🇲🇹 NNPC comment by Dangote, I suspected there was more to it. Our group decided to investigate further.
Our discovery was deeply shocking.
Firstly I will breakdown the whole Oil theft process and how Oil exporting and importing business works here in Nigeria . NNPC grants importation licenses to a select group of oil companies, which are responsible for importing petroleum products into the country. These companies set the prices for petroleum products, and the media often refer to them as "oil marketers."
We’ve another set responsible for exporting/selling unrefined petroleum products both locally nd internationally. NNPC nd few partner companies plays a major role in this sector, along with high-ranking govt officials, military leaders, and politicians who are involved in oil theft.
To better understand this thread I will briefly explain how oil exportation and importation works in Nigeria.
Please note every point I will list, you will need them as reference as we progress, very important.
1. Extraction: Oil is extracted from the ground using drilling rigs.
2. Processing: The crude oil is exported(internationally) to refineries where it is processed into refined products
3. Transportation: The processed oil are transported from the refinery to storage tanks, blending facilities, and ports, typically via pipelines or ships.
4. Export: At the port, the oil is loaded onto tankers or other vessels and shipped to Nigeria and other countries
5. Sale: The oil is sold to buyers in Nigeria at a price set by the importer (oil marketer). The government subsidizes a significant portion of the oil price to make it more affordable for citizens, a practice known as fuel subsidy.
Now let’s link the list together.
Recently, Oando PLC announced the approval to acquire 100% of Nigerian Agip Oil Company. This effectively means that the Tinubu family now owns Agip Oil, which is part of Eni S.P.A., an Italian multinational oil and gas company.
Agip Oil operates 17 onshore oil blocks and produces 11 million barrels of oil and condensates annually, and it also manages the Bonny natural gas liquefaction plant.
One might wonder why such a successful company would divest 100% of such a critical asset.
Observing similar situations, like the case with Dangote, suggests that this sale was not made lightly.
Now, these crucial oil fields and plants in Nigeria are under the control of Tinubu through Oando PLC which is Tinubu’s family owned not even NNPC.
Stay with me please.
Continuing, with their control over substantial oil reserves in the Niger Delta and the ability to explore further through Agip Oil, their next step is refining.
Instead of building a refinery in Nigeria, they opted to construct one in Malta 🇲🇹. This move allows them to exploit the country's resources and obscure their activities.
In early 2021, Enemed Co Ltd, the leading fuel supplier in Malta, issued a tender for the leasing of storage tanks and a blending facility at the Ras Hanzir Oil Terminal in Malta.
Ras Hanzir Oil Terminal Limited won the bidding. It is owned and operated by the Tinubu family, with Wale Tinubu, who is also the chairman of Oando PLC, serving as its chairman along with other members of the Tinubu family and their associates.
The company has already established a functioning refinery in Malta, they have now acquired the storage tanks and blending facility oil terminals, which were recently exposed to the public.
Stay with me please.
After Tinubu was sworn in as president, his first major move was to announce the removal of fuel subsidy, while the government continued to pay in secret, allowing him to increase petroleum product prices. This move was designed to benefit his own monopoly.
With the recent forced acquisition of Agip Oil by Oando PLC, Tinubu as an individual has become the largest oil exporter, explorer, and marketer in the whole country, second only to NNPC.
Here’s the pattern: Tinubu, through NNPC, will sell Nigeria’s oil to himself at a low price via his company in Malta. He will also explore, extract and export oil using his newly acquired Agip Oil Company, which operates across the Niger Delta states of Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Imo, Abia, Akwa Ibom, and Cross River.
Tinubu will then buy back the refined oil from his company in Malta through NNPC and as an oil marketer via one of his companies OVH Energy(Oando) at a higher price and export them back to Nigeria. The refined oil is sold to the Nigerian public at a high price, while the subsidy, although officially removed, is still being paid secretly. Essentially, Tinubu is paying himself subsidy.‼️
This scheme is an extraordinary level of financial exploitation
Even after he leaves office, and Nigeria remains without a refinery which he will make sure of, his Oil Monopoly over the country will remain standing. As if that is not enough, the govt will still pay him for subsidy!
He sold Over 2 Billion Dollars worth of petroleum products to Nigeria through the Malta refinery just in 2023 alone, that’s an example of what the future of Nigeria Oil importation will look like
That’s why he will fight the Dangote refinery with everything he has because if it becomes operational, his multi-trillion-Naira oil monopoly enterprise will collapse.
Yoruba people keep changing narratives and pushing theirs like say Nigerians are Yoruba people
Silly post
Next!
Dear, why taint an whole tribe for the sake of the ills of a few misguided fellows? Isn't it falling cheaply for the game to keep you divided, incapable of uniting to challenge them.
There were discussions in Obidient vawulence space for some to start the protest and not wait for the 1st of August, so that it does not fail due to oppositions to the protest springing up.
Obidient Flagman heed the call. Goodluck to him.
Just tag him and the job is done. Everything else including the subject matter of the protest is irrelevant. That's the game.
An informed investor will be interested in the expected cash flow from the investment, an experienced marketer should be ready for the likely probing questions
Correct investor Emma here doing his usual due diligence as usual.
lordm: my people say if a crocodile can eat its children, imagine what it will do to the flesh of a frog. The only working refinery in Nigeria wants to be frustrated so they can continue importing petroleum products that will not help our economy. Tinubu is failing. He should forget about second tenure o, because no one will vote for him.
Terribly mistaken to think people actually voted for the senile old crook in the first place. You wouldn't have thought if the electoral process was transparent you would have had this mess in the first place?
Synthetic indices and other set of financial instruments that can easily send you back to the village without transport fare. The most volatile of them all. Deriv is just the platform for trading them.
lacasera14: Bayo don de panic. How will you hold Obi responsible? Do you have written or video evidence of him calling his supporters to protest? Does the suffering in Nigeria affects Obidients alone?
Badstards dont need any evidence, they can always fabricate one.
The last election, Atiku, Obi and Kwankwnaso had more votes combined than Tinubu. Now, imagine if Atiku and Obi form an alliance. Politics is beyond anybody forming a bigger person. It's about using the available best resources to achieve your aim, which was what Tinubu did. He used the north to his advantage.
The three opposition candidates mentioned above couldn't defeat Tinubu as a private citizen. You think it would be easier to now defeat him individually as a sitting president?
Politics is a calculated risk. You need to be beyond book-smart or morally smart. You need polical smartness.
Wrote with the assumption that the true results count.
It costs around 250,000 - 340,000 Naira to produce 20 50kg bags of Garri. We asked Nigerians to finance our ideas to enter the forest, face threat of deaths, face threat of bandits, sleep in the forest, we would do the work, you guys refused. The country is suffering from what we can completely manage. Sheybi the youths do not like to collaborate. Let the nation suffer the lack.
My brother no be small thing. The terrorists aren't they been sponsored? Those behind them aren't they in high places?
Elubo. Elubo is around 1800 per paint whoesale price at my base
If not that Nigerians are not research minded, 200,000 Naira invested into cassava farming can provide a family of 5-8 with Garri, fufu and the likes for at least 4-7 months of daily consumption
See as you don dey gather plenty likes already. Can you give details if you don't mind, make we learn.
iLegendd: Lol. No. You think govt. officials are not using them to handle transactions?
In your mind, you think these people care about Nigeria? They're doing the P2P more than anyone. They know more about crypto and working exchanges than anyone.
Very true. The debt of heartlessness in them will never let them see things turn around. Our people don't even even know our leaders don't see Nigeria as their country reason why they are not so concerned. The suffering in the land oils their wheel of "progress".
cjrane: Nothing we can do now. We have to go through this storm and naira will finally stabilize at some point.
What we are observing are the fruits of mindless borrowing and printing of money that was the hallmark of Buhari's regime. Unfortunately, these things take time to manifest and Tinubu is the unlucky guy in power when the effects of those economic crimes by Buhari are now manifesting.
Blaming the past regime like all they are presently doing in office is not further compounding issues, just like the past regime blamed the past PDP?
Guess the golden rule is go whatever you like during your tenure but blame your issues predecessor for everything?
marenkurz: Leave dollars, why are people trading naira? You pay 1030 naira to POS agent to get 1000 naira. Isn't that itself devaluing naira? We have elected the most stupid people among us.
Get the fact right. The people did not elect them, they only selected themselves. How long will it take people to realize this?
