As soon as their stupid 8GB their agent collect N1k on top of the N3k to activate for me tanks, it's BYE!

I doubt the authenticity of this news.

Uzoma has been peddling the idea of selling Diamond to Access but not all on the board are with it. In fact, officially, the board frowned at the attempt without due process as he was trying to hold on to his CEO-ship after having been prevailed upon to resign for dismal performance and very poor corporate governance among other issues.

3 non-executive directors 'resigned' in order for Uzoma to put his verbal agreement into writing... and he has. It is to come into effect, sometime January 2019. All these according to more credible reports, source that I cannot immediately find.

Where the sale issue now comes from baffles me.

I'm sure you do not live in his constituency, if you do, you won't say this trash. He doesn't even need to campaign because he has exceeded our expectations.

Huh?

I'm actually saddened by Desmond's candidacy. I rooted for him - mentally at least - but he disappointed me.

Even though I believe in Bankole Wellingtons's move as he is very cerebral, this trait often doesn't automatically translate to good representation. It takes more than that to get things done and it really boils down to being truly prepared and committed to a cause. I mean, we've seen this with the Buhari-Change saga; talk, talk and more talk with little action to back that much verbosity.

So, is Desmond going to stop himself being distracted with movie-making and face his job as a rep? Imagine an Honourable having the time to direct a series for Iroko TV in the thick of his representation? And having the gumption to flaunt his craft at that where, I suspect, there is supposedly a civil service rule that a politician should divest his or hereself from personal business when representing a people. For instance, Trump's business affairs are managed by a trust, albeit his sons in the meanwhile.

This is my fear for Susu's boo too. He appears heavily invested in his businesses and may be distracted. I pray not.

Though I'm not an RMD fan, but in his time as commissioner, he was totally immersed in his work taking a break from Nollywood. I'm not privy to the quality of his politicking but the way to go is truly take that work serious and let it be the focus. He is back to his acting and cashing in, no?

Richard Mofe-Damijo, Bankole Wellington & Desmond Elliot should be different from RMD, Banky W, Denziot

Uh huh!

Whats with Femi Pedro?

Femi is alive

He's alive but claimed BAT put a contract on him back then.

Don't tell me it was 'after a brief illness'.

Useless bank.
The untold stress and embarrassment this useless bank has caused thier customers this week alone is enough for people to close their accunts with them.
You have money in the bank and yet u cant access it to meet your financial obligations and left at the point of telling your families and clients a cock and bull story of a bank not having internet service to pay u your money in over 3days.
it can only happen in Nigeria and the bank is still standing unburnt.

Lol @ "and the bank is still standing unburnt."

Bunch of thieves. VOTE OMOYELE SOWORE FOR PRESIDENT 2019

Definitely not.

I know Nnaemeka Obiaraeri or at least have met and interacted with him. I'm also privy to quite a bit of his biography. He is truly a man of integrity and a true administrator. I know this may have been said of many but this Nnaemeka guy is made of stuff, he's not empty; forget the lack of popularity for now. He even tried preventing the rot at Bank PHB then in his own way but the powers that be would not have it.

They may be on platform that may not hold much electoral grace (for now) but fielding such people is a step in the right direction.

This don't mean I don't like Sowore.

ericsmith:
he that knows not, but thinks he knows when he knows he knows not is a fool forever .. reno just play on wailers intelligence anytime he wants .. most youth wonnt read not to talk of making research ...
next level is just a project more like a course ... a course does not have or carry a logo ,, all it simply requires is give it a title.
next level can not be plagiarized neither can the font style ...the only thing that could have been plagiarized without acknowledgement is rex institute logo itself... beside in early 2000 yinka ayefele released next level album ...did he also plagiarized rex institute "next level"
you guys are just a disgrace to whatever resume you claim to have .. the day i will have one on one encounter with that omokri i will post it live

You kinda lost me though you seemed to be towing some good logic initially. Why do I say so?

Obviously, Reno misrepresented the facts by not stating that it was simply the insignia of the Winthrop University/Rex Institute project logo that was taken in entirety - bad enough - and not anything conceptually as it concerns Rex Institute's version of "Next Level". But that in itself is a great offense!

What became of the"Change Begins With Me" project albeit allegedly stolen? Even the project logo for that endeavour was dismal talk less the actual campaign. This is the ripple effect/chain reaction of an ill-prepared administration and such colossal fails would be their staple output.

Away from the digression, the "Next Level" stylization is the same with just hue difference colour-wise. So, in this context at least, "Next Level" was indeed plagiarized font style inclusive.

"Next Level" as a coinage is not exclusive to anyone but with the other creative assets matching, that is a great indictment on a government at the federal level even if not the core idea.

And who is to say the entire project wasn't lifted sef?

God, the English in the club's statement is migraine-inducing!

Wow FAJ! Where's he been?

Lol @ comments on the doctored, Dolby, bad sound engineer/voice over artist posts.

It needn't get to Dolby Labs for us to even ascertain its doctored/non-doctored status. It's something we or I, can do, or do.

Even if some doctoring was done, it couldn't have been more than some cuts or juxtaposing (though doubtful bearing in mind the full context of the audio). Likely some denoizing thus the wobbly nature of the recording; and that sef could just be recording device quality or simply setting i.e. low sample rate (KHz) . It is a long audio file with all the attendant nuances & artifacts though the background ambiance seems slightly muffled which may be due to the reason of noise removal.

The major concern is matching the tonal signature of Saraki's known recordings to this to get a definite match but non-technical or simple listening analysis sef give an 85% likelihood it's Oloye!

On Ganduje's videos, even though some dates mismatches were pointed out in the premiering episode, the only way that likeness of the Kano governor is not him is if it is a deep fake!

2019: MISTAKES ATIKU/OBI CAMPAIGNS MUST AVOID

By Val Igwebuike

The presidential campaign is billed to start tomorrow. I know the Atiku Presidential Campaign Organization, APCO registered many Support groups from across the country.

Perhaps, APCO is still planning to address the support groups for Atiku before the commencement of the presidential campaigns. Many feel bad that they have not been communicated to!

However, I am surprised that many of these support groups that have been working for Atiku even before his emergence as the PDP presidential candidate have not been officially reached to by APCO till now.

This is not healthy for the general and collective interest of Atiku/Obi presidential aspiration.

APCO will do well by reaching these support groups and intimate them with necessary plan of activities within their scope. I am talking from experience.

We pray APCO does not make the Fatal mistake the Managers of Goodluck Support Group made in 2014, which led to the colossal electoral defeat of the then incumbent PDP and President Jonathan.

Among other things, the major factor that resulted to the defeat of Jonathan and PDP by Buhari and APC was the collapse of Goodluck Support groups into the PDP presidential campaign organization, which allowed PDP chieftains to manipulate the structures for selfish and personal gains to the electoral detriment of President Jonathan and the PDP.

The PDP chieftains jettisoned all known rules governing the support groups and their interest, ignored them with reckless abandon, and treated the members of the support groups with disdain.

The money that was budgeted for the support groups that had been working assiduously for Jonathan for more than one year before the presidential campaign kick-started were diverted to motor park touts and their bus drivers by the chieftains of PDP presidential campaign organization.

The support groups were told that there was no money provided by Jonathan for the election.

Before the eyes of this responsible members of the various support groups, who were not partisan politicians, some of whom were utterly apolitical, respected men and women, who came together only to demonstrate their love and support for Jonathan were used like beggars by these greedy and insensitive PDP chieftains, who took the campaign monies and gave to their friends, relatives and well-wishers, who had nothing to do with Jonathan and his presidential campaign.


With this grossly unscrupulous manipulation of the entire Goodluck Support groups by these PDP members, the leadership members of these support groups took drastic decision, instructing their members to allow only PDP members to campaign and vote for Jonathan.

They decided that they would not vote for Jonathan again. They also announced that they would not vote for Buhari either. They ordered their highly aggrieved members to stay at home on the day of the presidential election. That decision of the support groups filtered into the ears of the APC leadership, who were genuinely desperate to win elections by all means and at all cost.

The APC chieftains went after the aggrieved members of Goodluck Support groups. Some followed them out of anger and some did not. That was exactly what transpired between the Goodluck Support groups and members of the PDP as a result of the coalition of the two different independent bodies that would have worked for same purpose. I know of all these because I was part of the entire system then, and I witnessed all that succinctly happened.

One thing is clear and certain. It is one thing to gather crowd, it is also another different thing to manage the crowd effectively for the purpose it was gathered. A crowd you gathered for a purpose could be disastrous to an interest if wrongly handled as a result of human greed and personal aggrandizement. Your once beloved crowd could become potential multiple enemies that could turn against you.

That was why Goodluck Jonathan had virtually no supporters to join the fainted voice of PDP to protect against the conspicuous election RIGGING by the APC and the INEC. That was why many supporters of PDP and President Jonathan joined APC to demand that the former Publicity Secretary of PDP, Chief Olisa Metu be prosecuted for the earblocking amount of millions he cornered to himself at the expense of victory for his party.

This time, the Atiku Presidential Campaign organization, APCO must be careful not to repeat the disastrous mistake of 2015. The groups they have gathered for Atiku before now must be used to market and sell Atiku and his positive political Concepts to Nigerian electorates. Any disdainful attitude to these groups must be avoided.

To completely avoid the repetition of the painful experience of 2015, it is better and electorally profitable to allow APCO function differently, supervising the activities of the support groups for effective and advantageous interest and good results. Any attempt to collapse the support groups into the management of PDP presidential campaign organization will spell doom for Atiku/Obi and the PDP as whole.

This is the hard truth, it could also be bitter; it is natural.

Noted.

If it was put on a hot plate, then it's basically pasteurized I guess. Better taken fresh without the heat that would denature the thing. Nice one though.

AT LONG LAST...........

Not bad.

thunder74:
I was passing through Opebi link and this poster got my attention. Why writing the father's name in small size? Could it be that he is ashamed to associate with him?

As far as I'm concerned, he shouldn't even use his father's first name with surname as a compound name. He's a grown man and if he is worth his salt, he should stand like one without daddy's influence... but then again, this is Naija; doors open usually via connection.

kunmiiii:
But which kain yeye shoddy write up be this, writing like a teen in his formative years....An official apology shouldn't be laden with such grammar. The syntax is all wrong, it's an eyesore, the people he's even apologizing to might not even be able to understand this incoherent babble.

Thank you jare.

Really terrible write up. He and that Yorubawood actress that wrote a shameful rant months back should date - same stock and breed (and I don't mean tribe).

I always told my wife that Bianca then isn't as beaytiful as she is now.

How odd?

Misplaced Priorities by Sterling Back and probably based on advise from someone who attended a short course on marketing strategy without considering the Nigeria context. GTB is a solid Tier 1 Bank with stronger share price and return on investment than FBN and UBA. Sterling is a Tier 2 bank without any clear positioning in the market. Rather than spend over N100m on Billboards, they should increase SME credit portfolio and invest in customer experience. Always respect your seniors that don't make noise...because when dem VEX ehn? You go hear am.

Gbamic post!

Sponsorship is mostly for visibility of the brand or sponsor. In this economy, most telcos and potential sponsors of such shows are consolidating or downright minimizing their risks and exposure as pepper nor dey rest like dat for dis now. It's really widespread and your's truly is a first hand witness.

MTN get beta gbese to settle. Project Fame running at this dire time will seem awkward. Things like Season of Surprises etc are a better bet right now.

9mobile will be extra careful after the careless loan their predecessor arranged for demselves with its servicing denominated in FX. The writing was on the wall even before the coming of 9mobile as most leaks were being plugged in an attempt to stop the ship from sinking with most sponsorship suffering...

PayPorte... hmmm, I can't explain their initial bold foray into BB but it is paying off as dem don swear for us with indecency for Naija (my opinion)... Prior to the show, I had never heard of the brand and I shop online a lot. Maybe just me? But til date, no one has said to my knowledge, "I bought this on PayPorte..." unlike Jumia, Konga, DealDey... Again, maybe just me getting it wrong?

Anyway, generally, economy nor swell like dat for now. Plus some have lost their ratings.

I'm not even gon' read comments or comment per se, I'm just thanking God as my sister just finished from there and is serving. More than 100% kwa?

Hian... Nothing wrong per se but a former 'presidential aspirant''s page to host this is suspect o. Yes, he is human but also an elder and somewhat respected in certain quarters...

Perhaps an appointment may do him some good. Nothing really has being gained as a spin off of his political foray; not during PDP or APC regimes.

Let's see if they can relieve Folly Coker from his appointment. That department will do Bob Dee good, in fact, he'll do a swell job for tourism - I know it!

Same was tried on me two Sundays ago,but na old scam na

Let me park my receipt here too. Let's try get these numbers to be listed as scam on Truecaller so that users can have them automatically rejected.

ItsTime4me:
Just last week, I got a text message written in Yoruba language. The only thing I could decipher was the word 'card'. Of course there were numbers that looked like recharge card pins. I just ignored and deleted the message because I wasn't expecting any such thing from anyone.

Just about 10 minutes later, I got a call from someone asking me to send the message back to him and begging that I should not load the card, that it was intended for someone else. I said no problems.

Three days later, the guy called me and said his father wants to speak with me. I was like, for what? He said the father wants to thank me for the recharge card I did not use. I said, why would I use something that does not belong to me. But he said the father was itching to talk to me. So I agreed to speak with him.

When the father came on the phone, he started showering praises on me, in a tone of an elderly Yoruba man who was struggling to speak English. He said he is surprised that people like me are still in existence. Then he asked me my name and location, which I told him.

Lastly, he asked me where I work and I told him I was looking for a job. Then he started praying for me. However, the thing that he said that made feel that they are scammers was that, the baba asked if anyone was there with me. I said yes. He said he wants to consult an Oracle for me and nobody should be there with me. Immediately, I told him that I don't do oracles and I don't believe in them. And he hung up.

So my question is, are these new methods adopted by scammers? Has anyone here experienced similar stuff? Perhaps others can learn from this.

Yes o. new format. I still have the text. I recognized the scam the moment the old man started praying for me and saying if he helps me, I shouldn't forget him.

I actually learnt to read and write properly through new swatch magazine, especially from the Anini and Dele's death era and today, I have authored a book without a University degree.

I applaud you. Indomie gen be using bloggers/text speak to learn now.
