Politics › Re: Betta Edu Denied Access To Meet President Tinubu, After Her Suspension by trutharena: 5:15pm On Jan 08, 2024
seunmsg:
The above is wrong and not the case. Tunji-Ojo did not award any contract to a company he has interest in unlike Peter Obi that diverted public funds to his family business. Tunji-Ojo is the Minister of Interior and the company in question won a consultancy contract advertised and implemented by Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs. There is no conflict of interest whatsoever.

Again, the company in question has been in existence doing business with various governments since 2009. Tunji-Ojo resigned as a director of the Company since 2019 and as not participated in running the company since then.

The company in question is one won a contract after following due process as laid down in the Public Procurement Act just like every other company that won contracts in the Ministry. If not for evil agenda, why single out only that company? Is there a law that says the company can no longer bid for and win contracts in accordance with Public Procurement Act?
Thanks for educating me. Now it make more sense.
Politics › Doyin Okupe Resigns From Labour Party by trutharena(op): 2:31pm On Jan 08, 2024
The former Director-General of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Organisation, Doyin Okupe has resigned his membership in the party.

Okupe announced his resignation in a letter made available to Vanguard on Monday.

The letter reads, “I submit herewith my letter of resignation from the Labour Party with effect from today. You will recall that our flagbearer, Mr Peter Obi, myself and others left the PDP abruptly and had to look for a Special Purpose Vehicle in which to contest the 2023 Presidential Elections.

“The Labour Party, your good self, and other members of your executives provided us with this veritable platform with no burdensomeness whatsoever and for which we were extremely grateful.

“We did contest the election on the platform of the Labour Party and lost. This makes it exceedingly difficult for me to continue to stay in the Labour Party which is ideologically rooted in the left of the center.

“I have been a rightist and a Liberal Democrat all my entire life. It is therefore this ideological conflict that makes me seek an exit so that I may continue my political activities with liberalism, sincerity and freedom.

“I wish to thank you in particular and other members of the leadership of the party for the cordiality and respect accorded to me as the Director General of the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Organization.

“I wish you and the party success in your future endeavors. Long live the Labour Party. Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Your brother, friend and compatriot, Omooba (Dr Doyin Okupe, Former Director General Obi-Datti Campaign Organization.”

Recall that Okupe had in 2023, announced his withdrawal from the campaign of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.

Okupe, 70, announced his resignation on Tuesday evening using his well-known Twitter handle.

The business model is for countries where their market returns have plummeted in real terms.
The low purchasing power of consumers coupled with high cost of production and weak currency is making them reconsider the benefits of having boots on ground.
The attendant loss of jobs and revenue is not good for concerned countries.
On the other side, twitter ignored Nigeria and went to Ghana initially remember?
Let me ask you one quick yes or no answer.

Did GSK leave Nigeria because of Tinubu regime? Yes or No?

You're the illiterate.
The are adopting that model in regions where their market does not support full roll out and manufacturing. It's a question of cost benefit.
They’ve started this since 2018. Their business model got restructured.

Twitter left Ghana when Elon Musk took over, was that because of cost benefit too?

Why then are you people blaming Tinubu?

They left Nigeria due to unfavorable business climate just as they just left Kenya.
Nigerians should blame Tinubu for them leaving
While Kenyans should blame Ruto
One does not absolve the other for any sane mind
Bad leadership is bad leadership
Illiterate read why they left. It was because of their own restructuring.

In what appears to be a global restructuring of its business model, the company which produces prescription drugs and vaccines is set to adopt a distributor-led model to supply the country, a similar approach adopted in Nigeria in August.

Business › GSK Quits Kenya 4 Months After Nigeria Exit by trutharena(op): 6:07pm On Dec 12, 2023
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a British pharmaceutical multinational, has quit Kenya four months after its market-shaking exit from Africa’s largest economy, Nigeria.

In what appears to be a global restructuring of its business model, the company which produces prescription drugs and vaccines is set to adopt a distributor-led model to supply the country, a similar approach adopted in Nigeria in August.

GSK hinted that the operation at Nairobi’s Industrial area plant will remain open under GSK’s stand-alone affiliate, Haleon. According to a local news outlet in Kenya, this consumer healthcare venture deals in products like Sensodyne and Panadol.

GSK in July spun off the consumer healthcare business and listed it separately as Haleon in shake-up to focus on the lucrative prescription drugs and vaccines business, which has brands like Augmentin, Zentel and Ventolin.

“The production facility in Kenya is a Haleon facility, and is not the subject of the update that GSK gave in Kenya this week,” GSK said.

“We announced that for our GSK business, we would move to a direct distribution model. This means that instead of having a GSK commercial operation in the country we will supply our medicines and vaccines through a third party.”

The exit of GSK comes as the firm races to overhaul its global business in shifts that led to the spin-off the consumer health unit.

Politics › Re: All Ondo State Citizens Needs To Pray For Their Gov If U Remember What He Did by trutharena: 5:31pm On Dec 12, 2023
That if even linger this long is simply because people respect Akeredolu especially for his great contribution to the Yoruba people like you rightly outlined.

But he is now very sick and governance must continue in that state. That is why even Tinubu himself has been careful in all this and there has now been a peaceful transfer of power.

We will continue to wish him quick recovery. But until then, someone must be in the seat of power in Ondo as million of people depend on that.

A further update and pictures of the nearly completed dualisation of 7.3 km Agodi Gate-Old Ife Road-Adegbayi Junction with a spur to Alakia-Ibadan Airport (3.3 km), Ibadan which was re-awarded to Kopek Construction Ltd by the Oyo State Government.

It is Tinubu that will direct or what the Nigerian constitution says? Anyway all the idiots under this lawless government are always standing on the mandate a drug baron, certificate forger obtained by criminal intent.
This is Nigeria democracy where everything goes.

If Tinubu had not stepped in, the states would have been up in flames as they won’t be able to keep it one

Where is the Nigeria constitution when that lunatic and murdered Peter Obi fail to allow LG chairman to do election for almost 7 years. Was that what the constitution said?

To you now you’re sad that Tinubu waded in and solved the issue. If tomorrow, there is breakdown in law and order in Ondo, na still you go dey blame Tinubu for not acting.

Yes just change the ride.

Let’s say Yoruba have over 1 million people living in the Abia, schooling there, making a living there, having their business there, and etc.

Then suddenly, Yoruba start shouting Abia is no man’s land. Then Yoruba shouted them must take Abia and they start launching an anti-Otti rhetorics to the extent that they imported over 50k people into Abia to take political power and always vote against Igbo interest.

I am sure at that point, Igbo will be happy and love what Yoruba are doing since it’s a democracy.

I told one foolish Igbo that that by 2027 the pandora criminal n bastard Peter Obi will not be able to show his face to campaign the SW, the fool was making mouth.

Earlier today it was Sowunmi now Bode George which PDP politician is stronger than this two in Lagos. This one's are PDP politician launching the assault imagine what APC politicians will be cooking for igbos in the nearest future.

Igbo must learn a very bitter lesson from the Yorubas to an extent they will rather kill a Yoruba when the choice is between a Yoruba n a Python.

What happened to him? He was a good friend of the ibos..That's the 2nd PDP/LP chieftain to come out in a space of 3 days to tell ibos to face their own region. The first was Segun Sowunmi.

Yeah maybe the way he said it doesn't go down well but as a typical NWA Afo Igbo I'm with bode George on this one. I was born in the north and I know what I saw with my eyes when there was religious crisis in the north in the '80s. 90%of Igbos businesses were Burnt to ashes just because of little misunderstanding between some people and you see some of these men doesn't have boys quarters in their villages only to come to Katsina State and build houses and businesses. 'Aku ruo ulo Amara Onye kpara ya'.
I thought Yoruba are cow-wards they can’t do anything.

Continue abusing them on their land or even invade their king palace. They won’t do anything jare my brother.

Infact if you go to Alahusa and overthrow Sanwoolu in IPOB gang style, declare Kanu the governor, and appoint Igwe of Lagos, they won’t do anything.

So please don’t advise your kinsmen to tone down, let them continue the abuse on Yoruba soil.

Even if tomorrow, there is a replay of 1966 progom in the SW this time around, I am sure it won’t be by Yoruba but by Zulu people in Lagos.
