I was enjoying this post until some people started taking it to the Igbo vs Yoruba route.

Continental Reinsurance Plc now holds 100% of issued ordinary share capital in its subsidiary.

Continental Reinsurance Plc has announced 100% ownership of its Botswana subsidiary, as it posts strong growth in its H1 2020 results.

In a bid to continue in its quest for geographical diversity, Continental Reinsurance Plc announced, that it has acquired a minority 40% stake in its Botswana subsidiary, known as Continental Reinsurance Ltd (Botswana), through its holding company – CRe African Investments Limited (“CRAFIL”).

This is contained in a press release released September, 10 and signed by the firm’s Group Communications Manager, Elsie Mbera.

The acquisition means, Continental Reinsurance Plc now holds 100% of the issued ordinary share capital in the subsidiary, effectively announcing a change in the ownership structure of Continental Reinsurance Ltd (Botswana).

On the rationale behind the deal, the Group Managing Director, Dr Femi Oyetunji, was quoted saying: “The acquisition means not only growth in economic size, but also presents us with an opportunity to enhance our strategic influence, and broaden our market appeal through the expansion of stakeholder segments that we actively interact with.”

On who will lead its newly acquired Botswana subsidiary, Dr Femi added that, “Building on our talent growth and diversity strategy, we have appointed Mr Francis Nzwili as Managing Director. Previously with our Nairobi subsidiary, as Managing Director of the Botswana business, Francis comes on board with a wealth of experience in underwriting and business development, that significantly complements the strength of the existing team. The position of Managing Director was previously held by Mr Cas Hansa, who has taken up new strategic responsibilities as Group Head: Underwriting and Claims.”

Continental Reinsurance, established in 1985, is a composite private pan-African reinsurer that has been on the continent for more than 30 years, writing business in more than 50 countries across the African continent. It provides support to over 200 insurance companies in Africa, with its main offices in Nigeria, Cameroon, Kenya, Côte d’Ivoire, Tunisia and Botswana.

Obsanjo might be many things but one thing I can vouch for Obsanjo is that, he was never a tribalist. At least, during his reign, there was a sense of ethic harmony.
We've always had this secessionist organization like MASSOB, OPC. But they were never that active because Obsanjo to some large extent gave many ethic group a sense of belonging. They had a share of 'the national cake' even though we can argue it wasn't the masses that actually benefitted from largesse but their respective elites. During his time, PDP ensured, the three Armed Zones were balanced equally among the major enthic groups. Even Yaradua, understood the importance of maintaining enthic harmony to foster national unity when he successfully brokered peace in the Niger Delta, If he were still alive, I doubt IPOB would have gain more prominence because he would have found a way to broker peace, he was truly a peacemaker and might have been considered for the Nobel Peace Prize. I can't say the same for Buhari, unfortunately History would see a president who promoted nepotism and enthic favoritism to new heights thereby threatening the fragile enthic harmony we've managed to build over the years after the Civil War. Sadly, The '5% percent' remark he made will be played for generations to come to understand how nepostic he was.

Evercurious:
That's why I detest being around poor people.. they just hate you for no reason .. DEAL WOTH THEM FROM A VERY SAFE DISTANCE

You are very stupid for typing that statement. What makes you think those poor people aren't working hard to better their lots?? . When people display flashy things before social media, what do they intend to achieve with that?? It gives them so much pride when other people lust after the wealth they've acquired (mostly illegally), is that not oppression??
Never you ever insult the poor among you, because their condition can change for the better and yours change for the worse.
People like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg came from relative wealthy families, but they've never in their lives bragged about the wealth they've acquired, because it will naturally solicit envy. They understand what it means to be poor and that is why you'll see them on social media champions programmes and supporting foundations that helps to empower the poor.
Never you ever insult the poor people amongst us

This one has been a fiancée since 2018. Time never reach to marry??. Davido for your information, that child belongs to Chioma's daddy

Babathanks:
That’s Nigeria mentality for you, the poor always hate the rich like they are the cause of there poverty

Yes oo!! The rich are partially the cause of their poverty

The drug baron is at it again. After looting Lagos at the state level, he's more than ready to bring his looting expertise to the national level.
Very soon, he'll appoint his granddaughter 'iyaloja' for the whole naija market. This country should certified dead and dismembered

I HATE TRAINS.
I HATE BRIDGES.
I HATE RICE.
I HATE TALLEST BUILDING EAST OF THE NIGER


Let me give the background to this piece. I was reading some comments on Twitter early in the week, when I ran into this one by one Dr Ben Gbenro: “Why are some people allergic to good news about Nigeria? You are angry about the test-run of Lagos-Ibadan rail, you are angry about the development in Onne Port, but will eagerly amplify any negative news even if it’s not true. Something is wrong with you and I am here to tell you.”

Of course, that comment generated responses, both positive and negative. But the one that caught my fancy specially was by Ayekooto, who declared: “We have got to a stage when GMB achievements can no longer be denied but hated. I hate trains. I hate bridges. I hate rice.”

Very profound. A lot of people can no longer deny the many achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari, particularly in the area of infrastructure, building a new Nigeria, and so, they have decided to hate it. Sad. Very sad.

Nobody can deny that there are very serious challenges in the country, particularly in the areas of security, the economy, and standard of living generally. But that is not all there is to Nigeria of today, and those challenges are being addressed very robustly. That hymn says “behind a frowning providence, He hides a smiling face. His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour.” We will surely see an end to the challenges, if we all work together, and eschew hate speeches.

Why then do some people choose to see and amplify only negative things? Why do they choose to remain willfully blind and deaf to positive things? And surrounded and confronted by salutary developments, they keep repeating; what has the Buhari administration achieved? Show us.

You tell them that just last weekend, there was a test run of the Lagos-Ibadan rail project, with brand new coaches that will begin commercial operation before the end of the year.That is happening in a country where we were told we couldn’t afford new coaches when our oil was selling at over 100 dollars per barrel. Now, at about 40 dollars per barrel, we are launching new coaches. Instead of giving credit to a prudent government, they just say; I hate trains.

Okay, if you hate trains, what of brand new airports in Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano, Enugu, and others in the works? There was a time we were said to parade the worst airports in the world. But not any longer. Buhari reversed it in his four years. What do they say about that? They look up, look down, scratch their heads, and say; I hate airports. I’ve never even boarded a plane in my life, and I don’t want to board. Will I ever enter a plane if I’d been killed by bandits?

Okay. You hate airports and planes. What of bridges being built over rivers in different parts of the country, most especially the Second River Niger Bridge, which the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) built with mouth for 16 years. You tell them that the bridge is almost 50% done, and should be completed in the first quarter of 2022. There’s also the Loko-Oweto Bridge, linking Benue and Nasarawa States. It was started by a previous administration, but almost completed now. Like a cornered rat, their eyes dart furtively from corner to corner, seeking a hole to enter. Finding none, they tell you deadpan: I hate bridges.

Okay. All those are physical structures. So they want stomach infrastructure. You then tell them of the rice revolution, which has freed us from being a net importer of the product in the world. You point out that if Buhari hadn’t put his money where his mouth was, and encouraged us to go back to the land, causing rice farmers to rise from six to 12 million, we would have been in serious trouble when COVID-19 struck. How would we have imported rice, with all international borders closed, and no foreign exchange to even place orders? They pat their tummies gingerly, belch after a hearty meal, and then declare: I hate rice.

A Cancer Centre has been built and commissioned by President Buhari at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH). An ultra-modern diagnostic center also built and commissioned in Kano. And just this week, another diagnostic centre built at a cost of $5.5 million, was commissioned at the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia, in Abia State. What do they say of all these? “I hate hospitals. May I never need to use any diagnostic centre. It is not my portion.”

You join them to say amen, since you don’t have a hateful heart. And you remind them that the largest ever vessel in the country, Maerskline Stadelhorn, with a length of 300 meters and width of 48 meters, berthed few days ago at Onne Port, in Rivers State. That is the biggest ever container vessel to berth in any part of Nigeria. Onne people were delirious with joy, and praised the government to high heavens, because no vessel had come to their port for 12 years, till August last year, under Buhari. You tell the naysayers the positive economic implications, but they refuse to listen. They dive under water, shouting as they go: We hate container vessels.

You then take them to Yenagoa, in Bayelsa State. Just last week, the skyline of South-south and South-East was transformed, as President Buhari commissioned the tallest Federal Government structure in the region, the 17-story Nigerian Content Tower, Headquarters of Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB).

The architectural masterpiece occupies an area equivalent to four football fields, and has a 1,000 seater conference centre plus a 10 MW power plant. Started in late 2015, now completed, all under Buhari. Engineer Simbi Wabote, Executive Secretary of the agency paid tribute to the resolve, determination and encouragement of the President, that saw the structure to completion in record time. And Wabote, third E.S of NCDMB in its 10 years history, has written his name in gold. Just because he has a supportive President.

Minister of State for Petroleum, Chief Timipre Sylvia, under whose tenure as Bayelsa State Governor the land was allocated for the project, declared: “The commissioning of this building is symbolic in many ways. It shows that Mr President is keen to see infrastructural development in every part of the country...It shows that skyscrapers and other laudable infrastructure can be built in the Niger Delta.”

But they say Buhari hasn’t achieved anything. You show them the 17-story building, and as they gaze skyward, their caps and headgear fall off. You pick the cap and headgear, dust and hand them back. And you ask, brothers and sisters, how now? Rather than admit defeat, they pull the caps and headgear over their eyes, and grumbled: We hate skyscrapers. They make us dizzy.

At that point, you pity them.
You realize that they need prayers.
They hate everything good.
They hate anything uplifting.
They hate development.
They hate their country.
They even hate themselves.


GOD BLESS NIGERIA. [/quote]You copied all those rubbish from your paymaster and pasted it here. You need medical help . Buhari has done more harm than good in this country and you are typing trash because airport remodeling that the Chinese gave you loans to help you to fix

All the airports follow the same design from Enugu to Port Harcourt Airport. Stella Oduah, wetin happen naa??

MT:
I disagree with your write up. I am not in a position to determine if votes count or not, as i have never voted even for free. But maybe your votes did not take her that far. It would be silly for BBN to evict their cash cows. Anyone that is making the viewers to vote in the house will be kept till the last day.

The rules of the house are simple. If you flout it, you risk getting disqualified. Every housemates had that at the back of their mind when they entered the house. Stop holding brief for that Dumbo. And besides, she was not any cashcow. Big Brother was also cashing out on other housemates

If I were Multichoice, I would ensure no sponsor or TV channels on that bouquet never ever host or promote that rude, fiesty, idiotic Dumbo on any of their platforms. That dumb bitch has proven how remarkably stupid she is.
Casting the very same platform that brought you to limelight. Gratitude unappreciated is the worst ingratitude

Jupiter7:
Ayam not surprised that Lekki made the top list. People are busy selling lands off massively at Ibeju lekki without warning the ignorant buyers of the dangers ahead. The whole of Ibeju Lekki is very flood prone, infact it is a ticking time bomb with the global warming and rise in sea level. Those who have ears, let them hear.

I don't usually mind those real estate agents that'll be disturbing me on my whataspp status to buy their lands.
I've always known that ibeju-lekki and its environs are just two metres above sea levels. I rather buy land in Imota.

We are all waiting for Dangote Refinery

A

Get the Bleep out. Why didn't Buhari complete it in his first tenure? All projects done is a continuation of where the last person stopped. If he doesn't want to complete it, someone else will. Even GEJ completed some of the projects started by OBJ. So what's the fuss about??

Come back to which country? You people will just open mouth and talk as if Nigeria is working effectively. SMEs are depreciating each passing day in this country, so many other factors such as lack of electricity, outrageous taxes both local and state governments, insecurity and many more. Talk another thing abeg

so it's it in Ghana that SME are appreciating?? . We keep ridiculing ourselves before other African countries. You guys are becoming a serious embarrassment to the nation

Don't type what you can't verify. Didn't Teddy and Bamba that were knacking each other in the toilet marry in the end?? My guy think before you type

IamAtikulate:
Innoson Motors is now classified as national strategic establishment. I am sure Yoruba Moslems don't know what that means in military parlance

Must u always be stupid and tribalistic all the time?? Later you'll say it's the Yorubas that are tribalistic in nature

Okay they made a discovery that pertains to religion and everyone is cool with it. When we later discover fossils of a ancient reptiles and start carbon-dating, some folks here will start calling scientists liars. It's issorite

futurism:
who told you that they can't? I believe you are an igbo person like myself hiding behind a yoruba title.

You know one problem igbos have? Boasting, pride and ego!

E go shock you as dem go over take Innoson and they will do so by being MORE organized.

That God we have other igbos that are seeing things pragmatically without being unnecessarily sentimental. We are becoming too boastful unnecessarily, we boastful in a very rude way and we've got to change that mentality.
Don't blow your own trumpet, let someone else do it for you

Lorechino:
Spirit of quoting is in u, did u Even understand simple Statement, n I wonder how ohaneze ndigbo set in here.

I understood completely the inner meanings of what you typed earlier. Did Innoson complain to you? I'm sick and tired of you folks making the igbos people look a bunch of 'hateful, spiteful cry babies' quit it. It's not cool

Lorechino:
This is a welcome development in many areas, but if INNOSON is from the north I doubt if they will allow any competitor to set in, the FG would hv bound d importation of cars since.

Far from tribalism am just stating the obvious

Honestly did you really have to type this?? . What's wrong with you guys? Why do you enjoy whipping enthic sentiments, did Innoson complain to you to help him that he's not making sales.
Innoson is currently expanding operations to include other automotives. He's including all Nigerians regardless of their ethicity to achieve his goal. Be there and forming 'bigot champion', like Ohaneze Ndigbo is gonna pay you salary at the end of the month. Yimnu!!

pquaver:
Kano Abuja lagos Kaduna voted for Buhari and don't insult.. It is a huge favor to do something for someone who hates you so badly.. I personally won't.. And you won't also for Buhari judging by your hate.. Buhari is a noble man I must say..

Is it his money he's using to do us a favour? It is Buhari's moral duty to ensure that the airport is up and fully functional once again,
When GEJ was building Federal University in other northern region, did the north see it as a favour??

saintade01:
A sane person will know that ipob is painting the south east in a very bad light.

it's very obvious. And my people are yet to understand the damaging effect of IPOB's activity in our political atmosphere. They are principally the main reason why we are no longer a force to be reckoned with

I'll keep saying this, the igbos has lost political relevance in the Nigeria Political System, it hurts to admit but it's true. No thanks to Nnamdi Kanu's campaign messages of hate towards other people. It has dragged us backwards politically.

Plain, dump stupid people. Mtcheww!! In order news, what's the next trend gonna be like after the 'Meet Mr. Gringo, the first man to...' trend is over

nextstep:
Good work governor. We need more continuity in our projects, so kudos for continuing projects by your predecessors, and for starting projects in your own term.

"On the affordability of the housing estates, Akinderu-Fatai stated that the housing schemes have been subsidised for low-income earners, stressing that subscribers can now pay through the State mortgage system, rent-to-own scheme or by outright payment."

See? People, pay your taxes. Subsidies don't come out of thin air. They come from state revenues, and here is a prime example of where your money is going.

Pay which tax, to whom. That Bullion Van Governor in Bourdillion?? Must be joking!!!

We have lost out completely in the Nigerian politics. It's very obvious now
