Yes, his wife owns Ruff n Tumble. He is useless to me sha.

No, his wife doesn't own Ruff n Tumble.

It's owned by the other Ogunlesi's from Ijebu Mushin (Sofisticat)

He is my friend. We call him Okhlagogo.

Thank God for that mild fever on the next morning after Abiola's death. I could have been shot too. I couldn't leave the hostel (Angola Hall).

I was all alone as all the students have been mobilized for the protests. When my roommates got back they were happy to see me in the room knowing my antecedents.I got news that students have been shot.


Days after, we were asked to evacuate the campus. I had another close encounter with a Mopol along Ife-Ibadan who asked me to disembark from the commuter bus because i looked like one of the protesters.

If you knew me then, aluta was written all over me.

Sadly, those who paid the price have not reaped anything from the dawn of democracy.

What is wrong with asking for proof to prove his claims ? That it erks you is a prove it's a fucking lie.
No SE state ever declared June 12 public holiday, ever. We know your attitude to the issue and are not likely to have forgotten it.
Kalu was talking to people with low cognitive reasoning and only such people can take his lies hook, line and sinker as true.
If Kalu is the stuff you have as presidential element, then you are building castles in the air.
Astute people can never vote for people with credibility problems again.

Kalu is being used as errand boy in return for being left off the hook by EFCC for his proven fraudulent cases that are many.
Sorry bro, try another gimmick.

You see i did not bother to reply the doofus.

We all know OBJ is vindictive and can be very annoying but Kalu's claim is nothing short of outright falsehood.

Bethel4Life:
is this wat the article says..all this rantings just for one tribe?? the north that killed abiola, what was done to them.cowardic e warrior

Don't worry, your comeuppance is nigh.

Then, no Red Cross, MSF, Caritas or the Vatican will not say you were not warned.

Same way your tribe was almost exterminated due to unguarded thoughts and jibes in the 60s.

Check my profile very well and bookmark this page

These were some of the people we erroneously tagged as rampaging herdsmen.

Check their names...

Thank you @ OP.

This time, it will be fire for fire for those rabid tribalists.
No excuse will be tolerated for their provocative nuances.
The Yoruba nation will not allow them to continue stoking their leprous fingers into our face. We have condoned them for far too long on the assumption of pseudo-southern solidarity.

They can chart their own paths without using us as their cannon fodders.

What gives them the right to think they can tell us how to conduct ourselves?

Why should they think they understand us better than ourselves?

Where is that arrogance of false air of superiority coming from and because of what?

Why do they use every opportunity to deride us in spite of our warm and friendly nature?

We will make resolute moves to correct all these in due course.

Enough is enough.

Rochas2023:
I remember, it even contributed to reason obj hates ouk now

Where is your proof oga?

Kalu that has been frothing at the mouth since he became Buhari's errand boy.
He has been saying everything but nothing to be popular.

Profile of a bigoted fool and loose cannon.
I can understand if the OP is attracted to his likes

NgwaManNaija4LF:
The so called 5 percent is both South South and South East, the people who feed you...Shame.

It's surprising why you guys can't sit in your shithole and feed yourselves first.

When your cohorts start making unprovoked remarks against a particular people, most of you will keep silent and giving useless likes until the heat is turned back on you.

Bunch of retards

babeosisi:

o kwa ndi Yoruba

And you concluded in your bigoted mind that the OP is Yoruba right?

Why do these people always imagine that it their business to tell others how to conduct themselves?

As if the Igbos don't have enough problems of their own.

We Yorubas are survivalists. Either you accept it or not, we are adept at navigating the murky waters of Nigerian politics.

Leave us alone with Buhari. Una don hear?

Flat-heads have started again.

You will soon be consumed in your hate. Stupid, bigoted people

BREAKING NEWS: JUSTICE AT LAST, SUPREME COURT ORDERS GTBank TO PAY INNOSON N14BILLION WITHIN 14 DAYS.

GTB To Pay Innoson’s N14Billion Judgment Debt Into An Interest Yielding Account, Says Supreme Court

Today, 7th of June 2018, The Supreme Court struck out GTBank’s motion for stay of execution of the Enugu Court of Appeal Division’s order that GTBank pays over N6 Billion into an interest yielding account at the Court of Appeal. Innoson’s legal team which was led by Prof McCarthy Mbadugha ESQ told the Supreme Court that the Judgment debt which arose from excess and unlawful charges which GTB took from Innoson’s account now stood at over N14billion.

The Supreme Court decision follows GTBanks motion for stay of execution at the Supreme Court when the Court of Appeal Enugu Division ruled on 9th Dec, 2014 that the appellant (GTB) is hereby ordered to pay the sum of Five Billion, Nine Hundred and thirty Six Million, One Hundred and Twenty Six Thousand, Two Hundred and Nineteen Naira, One Kobo (N5,936,126,219.01k) to the Deputy Chief Register of the Court within 14 days from the date of ruling and which the Deputy Chief Register shall pay same into an interest yielding account in a reputable bank other than Diamond Bank or Mainstreet Bank Plc pending the determination of this appeal. The money together with whatever accrues thereon shall be paid to the party who wins the appeal.

GTBank not satisfied with the decision of the ruling of Court of Appeal, filled a motion for stay of execution at the Supreme Court, however Supreme Court today struck out GTB motion for stay of execution and maintained that it will not hear GTBank’s motion for stay of execution until it obeys the ruling of Court of Appeal to pay the said money into an interest yielding account.

By Supreme Court decision today, GTB is expected within 14 days to pay the sum of over N14Billion judgment debt to the Deputy Chief Registrar of the Court of Appeal Enugu Division and which will now be paid into an interest yielding account in a reputable bank. The money together with whatever interest accrues thereon shall be paid to the party who wins the appeal.

Head Corporate Communications
Innoson Group

I dont have the details but I doubt if the judgement is true.

Look at the bolded, the Head of Corporate Communications of a firm like Innoson should know that the right designate is [b]'Chief Registrar' and not 'Register'

Again, who were the judges that gave the lead judgement? Why were the names of the judges not listed in the judgement?

This is serious oo

It was on the set of one of his plays.

HtwoOw:
Some Idiots kept posting news from TELL MAGAZINE


In Buhari's assets declaration, there was no Estate listed under his name neither has anyone been able to pin any Estate to Buhari's wife

Panama leak did not have any single evidence on Buhari but OBJ, ATIKU , GEJ , Patience Even Saraki were all listed , and that's an independent international leak


Keep licking your anus over Buhari , I believe if Buhari has skeleton, someone would have leaked it by now

You're stretching your imagination too far. Where and when was OBJ listed in the Panama papers?

Finally, Bill Gate's admonition is starting to resonate with someone.

His dad is an Executive director of a bank. He is just lounging at Heritage bank. The dude is just 23(?) years old.

So what he earns is not too small for a starter.

You see the problem with Nigeria is not the leaders but the followers and the media. The media praises economic locusts who stole the commonwealth of the people to high heaven. Take for example Femi Otedola who bribed Faruk Lawan with $600,000 to remove his name from the list of those who collected billions from petroleum subsidy. Femi never denied. But today, almost everyday here on Nairaland, you see Femi Otedola being celebrated on front page and called billionaire every now and then


The followers and media celebrate criminals so far they are from their tribe

Yes, the same way Ifeanyi Ubah diverted and sold NNPC products meant for the masses in his tank farm.

It is everywhere.

It was not an accident.

BBNaija is frustrated!

CEEC disappointed them, it is like that girl knows there game, Aneeka also disappointed them. Ifunada no send dem.

The weakest link is Alex.

Life must be very hard for you. I pity you and the idiotic fellow toeing your path.

tiwasiaife:
Oyegun my man. When oyegun was governor of edo state,tinubu was in american doing .... Business. Oyegun is a father to tinubu in politics. Tinubu will fail in this assignment. Buhari wnt him to fail and he wil later blame him for unable to manage small apc how much more nigeria.

Olodo, Tinubu was a senator representing Lagos West on the platform of SDP while Oyegun was also an SDP governor in Edo state.

Fayose has given them yet another daunting task.
They will flunk it as usual. Expect to read names of Japanese and Mongolians on the list if they eventually decided to publish it.

Way to go. Buhari himself should remember that power truly belongs to the people and Nigeria is not Daura emirate.

omokoladejames:
Like what Ken4Christ said, even if the government stops printing higher denominations, that would not make the naira strong.

What can make the naira strong is if its purchasing power increases. There are more than one factor that increases the purchasing power of a currency but one of the major factors is increase in the productivity level of the country. In simple terms if the productivity level of a country increases, the demand for money will increase thereby causing prices within the country to fall and the purchasing power of the money to increase but this is only valid if the supply of money does not increase.

So even if the government removes 1000 naira from the system but they continue printing 100 naira like say na water, that would not stop the person in the market from charging 15,000 naira from me, it would only mean i would have to carry a lot of 100 naira with me.

But imagine if it becomes alot easier and more profitable to grow rice in Nigeria(by government initiative,technology etc), more people will growing rice, also if the price of the nylon that they use to package the rice reduces because of of increase in nylon manufacturing and also if the cost of transportation of the rice from the farm to the city is reduced because of reduction in fuel cost etc, eventually all this cost reduction will reduce the cost of a bag of rice in the market to lets say 4000 naira. Now if all other production of goods and services increase like this and the government stops printing money like say tomorrow no dey and also no one person is given monopoly over any particular industry,then generally the overall price of things will fall, which will you will need less money to buy things. If you dey use 500 naira to buy plate of rice before, because of the general fall in price that 50 naira wey no fit buy you better pomo before go fit buy you full plate now. Its value(Purchasing power) has increased, so you won't even need to carry around 1000 naira in your pocket because it will be too much thereby making the need for 1000 note obsolete.

In terms of the exchange rate of the currency , there are a lot of factors to consider like economic growth,political stability, debt level, interest rate etc. But i believe it all starts with economic growth as i tried to explain earlier because remember our modern currency has no value on its own, its value comes from how people much people trust it's government and its economy. Ghana's currency is better because investors ghana's economy to be better and alot stabler than ours. If not for the oil and other potentials wey we get, with all the rubbish wey our government dey do since, our currency suppose don worse pass Zimbabwe own sef. But we thank God.

So bros I believe first things first, we need to increase our productivity level to cater for our needs(which will reduce unnecessary excessive importation) and also for export.

Just my opinion but I stand to be corrected

A very good head you have on your body. Ori e wa'nbe.

Our problem is that most of our elected leaders do not really have what it takes in terms of knowledge of micro and macro economic theories to take the country higher.

Even when they are surrounded by the best brains in the world as Special assistants/advisers who are often mirred in needless bureaucratic arrangements with the largely incompetent civil service, the result is the backward growth we are experiencing as a nation.

Oftentimes, I wonder if our leaders are truly patriotic.

By the way, I learnt somewhere that in most cases, the directors of finance always end up as Permanent secretaries because they usually have access to more than enough funds to grease their ways to the top.

It is also without gainsaying that our worst always find their ways into the civil service.

olabrad:
Is that the nonsense you tell yourselves in your camp of small minds? Your comment just showed that your life is ruled by inferiority complex. One would think only igbos reside in Lagos. Other tribes aren't complaining except you. Is it by force to stay in another person's state?

Epic!

Egein:
Wrong information, OP.

Festac, Agege, Mushin, and Somolu are not LGs; so I don't know why added "LG" to them.
Also, "KTU", isn't Alimosho LG as you erroneously posted here. "KTU" is nearly literally "Ketu".

The OP is very right.

Agege, Mushin and Somolu are LGs.

KTU is Ikotun - Alimosho LG.

Are you a lagosian at all.

realitynaija:
In my view many things Paddy did in his revelations showed arrogance and lack of calculated risks. I also know he was also being economical with the truth.
1. It was careless to have jumped into negotiating such a big intl biz deal with such a myopic knowledge without his father involvement.
2. The Remi he mentioned as a senior friend was his father's personal friend and former CEO of his father's financial enterprise.
3. Arrogance and disregard for elders and experience is a killer, we all need to learn this.
4. No wonder, after he has squandered the little money he had, like a prodigal son, he returned back to both his father's biz and same Remi, he disregarded earlier.
5. He also almost did not mention how he later ridiculed the same Remi with his police body guard because of his silly arrogance.
6. He should learn humility, I'm not impressed by his colourfully decorated resume.[color=#000099][/color]

I didn't even figure it out.

So, he was referring to Mr Remi La....? His father's friend

They have started whitewashing again.

Imagine the scam being peddled now- Shettima was a UI lecturer and speaks Yoruba.

All of una behind this unholy project no go die better.

That was how one man was said to have had an Igbo in law, cook and driver just to sell him to the uninformed.
