dre11: The above post is another idiotic crap from a compound tribal juggernaut who will hide behind One-Nigeria to spew nonsense. Why can this inherent fool sue disintegration of Nigeria and Oduduwa to himself. Lagos State is part of Nigerian and anybody is entitled to ask for a position in Lagos State government. The creation of state in Nigeria reinforced the legitimization of tribalism in the country and given tribal miscreants such as Lateef Femi Okunnu to mouth off fallacies. Did Igbo Student Union morph into political party as in the case of Egbe Omo Oduduwa? 1 Like 1 Share |

Chipink: Leventis was sympathetic to the cause of African nationalists. He was a friend of Kwame Nkrumah and J.B. Danquah. When a riot flared up in the country, many foreign stores were burnt and closed but only Leventis owned stores remained untouched and were opened throughout the period of conflict. He was made Ghanaian ambassador to France when Nkrumah was elected president of Ghana. A.G. Leventis established a branch in Nigeria, called A.G. Leventis Nigeria Plc. Within a few years the Nigerian company expanded its business line from cotton exports to merchandise trading and secured new sources of supplies. In the late 1940s, motivated by diversification and modernization the firm changed its strategy. In 1960, Leventis Group speedily completed the Federal Palace Hotel at the request of the Nigerian government, the hotel served as accommodation for guests expected during Nigeria's independence celebration. By the 1960s his firm had grown to become one of the largest distributors in Nigeria and one of the largest merchandise traders in the West African region. In Nigeria, he re-structured the business from general trading into a specialized trading firm and established various department stores. During this period, he thrived as a result of the nation's relatively open economy, as it was not until the 1970s that economic nationalism became a dominant initiative. His marketing style made the Leventis name familiar to many customers in Nigeria. Apart from his sympathy for the nationalist movement in Africa, he also gave his support to his native country's independence movement. He developed a friendship with Arch-Bishop Makarios III who appointed him Cyprus' ambassador to UNESCO and awarded him the medal of St. Barnabas. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

It's not just by saying it. They should put it into action. Enough of all this diplomatic nonsense. Do not allow any useless,hateful and disrespectful iPod miscreant win any political seat from councillor to LG chairman to senator or governor. They have openly shown their hatred for Yoruba with their senseless hate during the election. Why then should they be allowed any political seat in Lagos. Kick them out totally our of the political space and let them know where they belong. All these talk and then going back to form diplomacy and allow them one or two political posts will always make them brag endlessly and continue to yap trash. Put the hateful, envious and evil MFs where they belong. 1 Like |

Chipink:Cappa & D'Alberto was established by Pietro Cappa and Viginio D'Alberto in 1932, immigrants from Italy who settled in Nigeria. D'Alberto was born in Roasio and Cappa was born in Gifflenga.[2] Both businessmen had similar path to Africa, Cappa emigrated to British West Africa in 1924 and originally worked in Ghana before settling in Nigeria. While D'Alberto came to Ghana in 1929 before arriving in Nigeria in 1931.[2] Both individuals met in Kaduna in 1931 and a year later founded Cappa and D'Alberto with office in Oil Mill St, Lagos. Grato Cappa, brother of Pietro later founded G Cappa in 1935. Early in its history, the firm was sustained with works for the Catholic mission within Lagos and Abeokuta. It later took jobs far from its Lagos base such as the construction of a government housing project in Yola which was completed on time,[3] and later Yola hospital. The company then followed up with contracts in Sokoto and the construction of a camp in Jos.[2] This jobs sustained the company through the great depression. During World War II, the firm's asset was briefly under the control of British authorities through the custodian of enemy properties, both D'Alberto and Cappa returned to Italy and the remaining Italian employees were interned in Jamaica until the end of the war.[2] The partners returned in 1945 and re-established the firm, after taking control of their remaining assets.[2] In 1950, it secured a lease from Candido Da Rocha to erect a new office in Campbell St, Lagos. The company's pre-independence projects in Lagos included Holy Cross Cathedral and Humoani Mosque which were built in the 1930s and later Kingsway Stores, Maternity Hospital, Lagos Island, Bristol Hotel and Western House.[4] In Ibadan, it built Cocoa House. In the 1950s, the firm delved into the property development sector with the establishment of Igbobi Development Company. In the post-independence period, the firm built supporting housing facilities for construction workers at Kainji dam, NEPA office, Marina, Tafawa Balewa Square and was involved in the construction of the National Stadium at Surulere. The company also built factories including Dunlop in Ikeja and Arewa Textile, Kaduna.[4] The firm's work at Kainji also included New Bussa township and resettlement of residents affected by the dam.[4] By the 1970s, the company was self supporting with its own equipment, cranes and vehicles. The firm is one of the leading construction companies in Lagos Island, with works that include: Civic Center Towers, Mobil House, Zenon House, Union Marble building and Wings complex, Victoria Island.[5] 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Chipink: Sammuel Olatunbosun Shonibare (January 8, 1920 - January 1964) was a Nigerian businessman and politician who was a founding member of the Action Group (AG), he was an active member of the party from its formation until his death in 1964. Shonibare acted as the publicity secretary for the party and also performed fund raising duties for the Action Group. He held the chieftaincy title of Asiwaju of Ijebu.[1] Early life and career Edit Born in January 1920 to the family of Sadiku Shonibare-Sanusi. His career began in 1936 as a clerk for U.A.C in Ibadan where he worked from 1936 to 1942, he was then promoted Chief Clerk and book-keeper at Ijebu-Ode in 1942.[2] He rose to become office manager, technical department before leaving the firm in 1952. Upon leaving UAC, he joined Amalgamated Press, publishers of the Daily Service which was then a political mouth-piece of the Action Group. During his tenure, the company launched the Sunday Express an apolitical weekly magazine and also the launched Daily Express in partnership with the Thomson Group.[1] Under his leadership, Amalgamated Press had editors like Bisi Onabanjo and Lateef Jakande, two future governors. In 1958, Shonibare became managing director of the National Investment Property Company, he was invited to be the MD by S.O. Gbadamosi, a board member. While working for U.A.C. in Ijebu Ode, his supervisor was Mr Samuel Olukoya. At party in 1942, he was introduced to his daughter Ms Alice Olukoya, they got married in 1946. NIPC Edit He was managing director of a controversial company, National Investment and Properties Corporation, a private company that was linked with AG and the regional government and whose directors were party members. The company was formed 1958 by Action Group to evade a new legislation curtailing the use of banks to finance party activities. Previously, the party was involved in a murky arrangement with National Bank for financing.[3] Under NIPC's relationship with AG, the private firm borrowed money from the Western regional marketing board to invest in the country. The money was used to develop some properties that included Cocoa House, Ibadan and Western House, Broad Street, Lagos.[4] In 1962, a tribunal under Justice G.B.A. Coker probed a six-million-pound loan that was extended to NIPC by the Western Region Marketing Board. At the inquiry, it was noted that NIPC was an investment arm of the Action Group to fund party activities.[5] The assets of NIPC were transferred to WEMABOD. When a state of emergency became effective in the region, Shonibare was limited to Ondo town; he died in January 1964, weeks after the state of emergency was lifted. Shonibare was chairman of Amalgamated Press Ltd, Ikeja, publishers of the now-defunct Daily Express and Daily Service. Prior to his death, he founded Shonny Investments which was in the process of developing Maryland Estate, he was also involved in a mobile film unit and a printing business. 1 Like 1 Share |
