his pic is included in the link i think.

una like wahala o. making the thread abi you instead of the topic. . .

posakosa:

you can't know my guy. He lives a pretty HUMBLE life BUT he doesn't spare money on CLOTHES. I started to get suspicious because he carries RAW CASH around; Like $10k

na wa o. all well i guess he has a bed marked with his name at rikers island or somewhere,

funny thing is the niyi dude didnt have it written all over him sha. maibe its cos all that popping this and that, wearing this and that doesnt tickle my fancy. i guess the partying crew in this zones might av noticed.

KOBOJUNKIE, can you read what i posted and comment based on that instead of basing it on what you thot you read geeez. where in that post did you read that i was sorry for him?

nah i wasnt.

i assume u reside in the MD area? who else? its funny the way this all played out though.

seriously though, i've known them from back when he was in highschool. omisore was on the team supporting ibb2007 campaign sef.


your papa na politician, hope say him way pure?

i be NL-FBI

posakosa, how u take know am?

when was this airport commisioned? cos me i no see any flights in and out of it o. is money going down the drain already?

i'll check FAAN's site to see how many flights go in and out everyday.

i know the dude. what a shame. but im not sorry for him though

ok, now to the real challenges of running an airport and making it viable and profitable.

The story get as it be jare. Isn't the refurbishing something to have been done before the tourney started. Na now dem just know say dem no refurbish anything?

Revenue for lagos state. Increase mass transit buses and routes and as u increase that have people pay toll on all bridges that take u into the island. U pay toll to get into the island, if u don't want to pay toll, BRT, going ur way! For the mainland, control how people get on highways like ikorodu road, apapa oshodi express, and what other expressway I can find etc etc. Once that's done, and u have limited spots people get on, toll both goes up next baby (call me crazy but its something I would work on if given the chance to raise revenue for my state)


Epe_lekki express is a special case. In my opinion the minute people decided to populate that part of lagos enmass(lagos elite) the govt should have added a toll plaza right at maroko.

The new badagry express being worked on by fashola, I hope he has plans of adding a toll plaza to it. Now that it being reconstructed, limit entry points to the highway and add toll plaza's to all those point.


What highway did I forget?

I'll rather have sales tax introduced rather than crap ineffective british style value added. That way u actually know how much extra u would pay in taxes if u decide to splurge 1000naira on a burger instead of 200 naira on agege bread, ewa aganyin and orobo mirinda.

PS: I just used food as an eg it shouldn't be limited to food. Better still, have people pay tax on ready made meals but tax free if u decide to do grocery and cook urself same meal.

this happened to me in january. i think i have pictures sef.

SINCE His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi assumed the governorship of Anambra State, the thought of being the first to do anything in the state has been his obsession. If he is not the first to buy five ambulances, he is the first to visit all 177 communities in the state or better, ‘develop’ all sectors simultaneously.

On Wednesday, October 14, 2009, the Governor through his Commissioner for Local Governments, Mr. Dubem Obaze, organised an elaborate party in Awka where the Governor gave out cheques to different town union presidents and in some cases, traditional rulers in the absence of the presidents, for the reconstruction of school buildings. It is indeed a first.

As unprecedented as this feat of sharing of Anambra money to non- accountable organisations for the ‘benefit’ of the ‘educational’ sector was, I ask Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala the former Finance Minister and World Bank chief who told the whole world that Peter Obi ranks number one in fiscal control, whether she envisaged such display of naivety when she gave her unsolicited opinion? Can this be the display that earned Obi her thumbs-up? Can she come back to confirm her rating of Obi or will she retract her rating?

I stood in the hall and watched the traditional rulers whose modus operandi is to support any government in power and the town union presidents hail the Governor as he doled out Anambra State money to a body that is neither a legal entity nor was there any form of control in place to prevent the recipients from squandering the money received. These are the same people he has been releasing Anambra money to for palliative measures of our rural roads every December with nothing to show for it.

What makes him think that having squandered those palliative monies meant for our roads, this one will be an exception?

It, however, confirms to me why the Governor keeps interfering with who becomes president-general of our town unions as he intends to use them as his campaign coordinators. This being the case, it will really not matter whether they squander the money or not. The more I looked at what was going on in the hall, the more questions arose in my spirit.

The first question was: If the recipients squandered this money, who will be held accountable or are we practising democracy without accountability? On the cheques were written the names of the towns or communities as the case may be. For example, the cheque for Awka town bore ‘Awka Town’ on it. Who on earth is Awka town? Where does it maintain a bank account or if it is a cash cheque, who will cash it? Is this not an invitation to chaos? I ask further. Under what legal or social framework are they to ensure performance.

The second question was how do these town unions award or execute the contracts? Are they going to invite tender or what? Is it part of their duty as town unions? I began to query where Dr. Oby Ezekwesili’s due process had gone to, knowing that Dr. Ezekwesili is a close confidant of Mr. Obi. I started wondering why “Madam Due Process” has not been able to get her friend to see the need for due process to be given a pride of place in the state, her own state by birth and by marriage.

Governor Obi replying his critics in one of his interviews on due process, ignorantly and sarcastically noted that due process was about ‘saving money’ for the state and he knows that he has been saving money for the state by his micro-management of the state affairs.

That is what he understands by due process. The next agitating question on my mind was whose money Obi was distributing. Was it his internally-generated revenue or money released to the State by SPEB, a Federal Government agency? I realised it was money in custody of ASUBEB and received from the Federal Government. I began to imagine how Gov. Obi will account to the Federal Government who I know still believes in due process. I wondered where this ignoble decision was taken, knowing that SPEB has its dos and don’ts.

Looking at the Chairman of ASUBEB who looked completely lost in the hall, I was sure he had a few issues flying around his head. As the chief custodian of the money being shared, I could see him sweating and fidgeting. Such is the lot of the men and women who work with the first scoring Governor.

For the headmasters whose classrooms were to be renovated, I wondered who they should approach to assist in making sure that the monies are applied well. Having approached the Chairman of ASUBEB for comment and he declined, I decided to tell the world through this medium that another vista has been opened in Anambra State and things will only get worse as the election approaches.

Why did every community receive N2 million? A town like mine, Awka, received N2 million while another town like Akwa-Ihedi received the same amount. By my calculations, Awka town has more schools than all the towns in Nnewi South Local Government where Akwa-Ihedi is located, put together. I wondered where this decision was coming from.

I finally had to leave the venue when one of the commissioners whispered to his friend that the Governor is beating other politicians to their game.

I realised it was all politics with Anambra money. It was money earmarked for campaign and not anything serious. It was N354 million of Anambra State’s money which the Governor reckoned will oil his campaign machinery. I left the hall before the end of the ‘game’ but before I did, I prayed a short prayer which I know God heard. I prayed that God would have mercy on my state.

i need some clarification from anyone who has the chance to. . .

Anyway, with what i gathered from listening to him. i wonder why our government hasnt really tapped into his wealth of knowledge with regards our foreign policy or even domestic policy and stuff

He joined us in observing Iftar and Tarawih prayers at our mosque in NY this past ramadan. he actually identified himself with a region cos i think he was asked or something like that. unfortunately i wasnt really paying attention at the time so i cant remember what he had said prior to my listening to him speak.

all i can do is laugh my butt off. . . .

My friend is planning to expand his business to Angola. He lives and supplies electrical equipments to companies in Douala after being retrenched from schlumberger 8 years ago, He has branches in Libreville, Cote d' Ivoire, Accra, PH, Liberia and Durban.  He recently opened another business in Takoradi and tried to enter Angola only for their chamber of commerce to reject his application leading to visa rejection.
