Nicolas Ibekwe has finally found a way to get public attention and become popular and it seems to be working for him already.

Press everywhere in the world receives money to write good stories about somebody or an events. The Briths do it through BBC while the Americans use the CNN and others. President GEJ employed one recently while the APC is also suspected to have employed the services of Sahara Reporters.

They call it image laundering....

The calf should be submitted for scientific observation so as to acertain the cause of the disorder.

@OP- pls edit the "God" in your topic to "god".

Nigerian tongues remain the sexiest in the world.

Only Nigerians with inferiority complex fail to see it hence the need for them to form foreign accents like the Briths and Americans.

As for me, naija accents all the way.

Everything turning upsidE down. Even the Islamic community compromising? This will definitely receive greater criticism than the Church that allow same.

...We are sure heading towards the end time.

I am a christian but this sounds more like a story for the "gods".

Transmission?

Location of the car pls

It is actually not the first time. The youngest mother in histry was an eight year old girl.

Don't even want to imagine myself in that kind of mess.

A case of straight bleeping gay.

Feel really sorry for the guy......

One punch, ten thousand die.

Disgusting...that's the word

Everybody seems to have a point this days.

An end to the insurgence is all we want.

When you are a professional and suddenly you're being asked to handle a non or much less professional job- your days may be numbered in the establishment.

Birthday in Brooklyn? Guess she'l go to the moon for her wedding.

Atlas Mara, the African investment vehicle of former Barclays boss Bob Diamond, said it had increased its stake in Union Bank of Nigeria to almost 30 percent for $270 million.

The deal marks the third significant acquisition by Atlas Mara, set up last year by Diamond and Africa-based entrepreneur Ashish Thakkar, as it seeks to build the firm into Africa’s leading bank. It raised $300 million last month to add to its acquisition war chest.

Atlas Mara said on Friday it was buying the additional 20.9 percent stake from Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (Amcon). Reuters reported on Thursday Atlas Mara was in talks to buy the UBN stake.

UBN has 340 branches across Nigeria and had about $6.3 billion of assets, $3.1 billion in deposits and $1.3 billion in equity at the end of June. Atlas Mara said it purchased the stake at about book value.

UBN was established as Colonial Bank in 1917, and from 1925 until the 1970s was owned by Barclays, the British bank that Diamond led before being ousted under a cloud two years ago. UBN’s market capitalisation is about $850 million.

“This is a very significant acquisition … we will have a significant stake in a key Nigerian bank and we will also have established strategic market positions in three of Africa’s leading economic communities: the Southern Africa Development Community, the East Africa Community and Economic Community of West African States,” Diamond said in a statement.

Previous deals have given Atlas Mara a platform in several countries including Botswana, Mozambique and Tanzania.

It said in a prospectus published last month it was considering buying a minority stake in a bank in Nigeria, which is sub-Saharan Africa’s largest economy and one of its most attractive and fast-growing markets for banking.

Diamond is one of the world’s best-known bankers after spearheading the growth of Barclays’ investment bank before being forced from his job as CEO in 2012 by UK regulators after the bank was fined for attempted rigging of Libor interest rates.

His plans in Africa could put him in direct competition with Barclays, which has had a presence there since the 1920s and is one of the biggest international banks on the continent.

UBN was known as Barclays Bank CDO (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas) when it was bought by Barclays, and became Barclays Bank of Nigeria in 1969 after Nigeria’s independence, according to the bank’s website.

Imaginary, Fiction.

By the time we get there, you will have to pay through ur nose to drive a car in Lagos then u'l learn how to keep ur fleet of cars in ur garage. You may even be asked to pay a token on the ones u keep in ur garage.

Government policy takes care of them all.
