The governor of Akwa Ibom state has rained
curses on governorship aspirants who he has not endorsed for the 2015 governors contest in
the state, referring to them as enemies who
betrayed him. He equally pronounced death on all his perceived
opponents, stating that none of them had any
reason to fall out with him, because he raised and
empowered them all. Akpabio in a fit of anger likened the aspirants as
Lucifer and the Biblical Absalom who betrayed God
and King David respectively, averring that none of
the governorship aspirants would get the chance
to rule Akwa Ibom state as they had desired. The governor poured anger on perceived
opponents to his alleged plan to install a candidate
of his choice as the next governor of Akwa Ibom
during a ground breaking ceremony for the
construction of a new Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) state Secretariat in Uyo last Thursday. Akpabio in his speech at the event took a step
further by pronouncing death and great
misfortune over those who fell out with him
politically in the state, alleging betrayal on their
paths. He coerced all guests present during the ceremony
to chorus amen as he openly rained curses on his
perceived opponents. Although the angry governor did not drop any
name, those who at one point or the other, fell out
with him politically in the state include, Patrick
Ekpotu, Nsima Ekere, Senator Alloysious Etuk and
Bassey Albert. Others include Chief Don Etiebet, Umana Okon
Umana, Senator Bob Effiong, Ambassador Assam
Assam, Hon Bernard Udoh and a host of others. Akpabio has also been in a running battle with
Obong Victor Attah, his predecessor, business
guru and first class engineer, Chief Ime Umanah,
Architect Otu Ita Toyo and a host of elderstatesmen
in the state He said to the crowd during the ceremony, “Those
who want to take power through the backdoor
will die. They will die! And the PDP will continue. In Akwa Ibom State, those who want to betray,
who were supposed to be our political children, of
course they will end like Absalom. But if they
changed their minds, then they will obtain favour
from the sight of God. “Almighty God recognized that even the people he
worked with, and called them angels, that one of
them was going to betray him, and that was
Lucifer. What did God do? He threw him out of
heaven. Has he entered Heaven till today?


“You empower your children so that they will be a
pride to you. You don’t empower them so that they
come and betray you. That is the lot of the World.” Akpabio delved into the scriptures to buttress his
point on the curses he was raining, stating, "I go
back into the Bible, I saw the story of Absalom.
And I said may God take away the spirit of
Absalom from our midst. “Who was Absalom? The son of David, the father
trained him and empowered him as the would-be
King of Israel. Because of impatience, Absalom
wanted to take over before the age of 30. He
wanted to kill King David. And the King said, leave
him to his fate. “Did it end well with Absalom? (Crowd response:
Nooooo!) As a young man, he died, while his
father continued”. The National Chairman of PDP who was present at
the occasion refrained from making comments on
the governor’s vituperations against his perceived
enemies. Mu’Azu in his speech only entreated the PDP
supporters in Akwa Ibom to continue their
support for President Goodluck Jonathan who he
said has been battling hard to contain insecurity
problem in Nigeria. Alluding to the rampaging activities of terrorists in
Nigeria, the PDP Chairman said, “We must continue
to pray for them to be converted so that Nigeria
will not only remain strong united country, but a
strong united country that will rightfully take up its
leadership role in the comity of nations.

Nigeria's richest man Alhaji Aliko Dangote has become the first African entrepreneur to be valued at $20bn after the latest Forbes magazine global ranking of millionaires rated him among the 25 wealthiest persons on earth.

According to the Forbes survey, the stock value of Dangote Cement, leaped just about three-fourths since March, thus taking Alhaji Dangote’s 93% stake in the company to $19.5bn. When this is added to his controlling stakes in other publicly-listed companies like Dangote Sugar, Dangote Flour and the National Salt Company of Nigeria, Alhaji Dangote's wealth balloons.

Apart from his own companies, the billionaire also holds significant shareholdings in other blue-chip multinationals like Zenith Bank and the United Bank for Africa. When Alhaji Dangote's personal wealth, which includes his extensive real estate portfolio, jets, yachts and current cash position, including more than $300m in recently awarded Dangote Cement dividends, he worth is enhanced significantly.

At the moment, Alhaji Dangote is wealthier than Russia’s richest man Alisher Usmanov, India’s Lakshmi Mittal and running neck and neck with India’s Mukesh Ambani. According to forecasts, his wealth is on course to catch up with that of American Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Carl Franklin, Dangote Cement’s head of investor relations in the UK, said that in the first quarter of 2013, the company had a huge increase in demand across Nigeria. He added that gas supply also improved considerably and the capacity was much more ramped up.

Mr Franklin said: "Quarter one was the first sign of just how profitable we can be in Nigeria and the amazing thing is that 66% of our gas-fired production was done at 84% gas. Imagine what would happen to margins if we did the same amount at 95% and this has given investors a good sense of what we can really do when everything goes in the right direction.”

With a current market cap of $20.5bn, Dangote Cement has become the first Nigerian company to achieve a market capitalisation of over $20bn. Mr Franklin added: “It’s certainly a landmark for a Nigerian company and we’re proud to be the first to achieve it.

"Obviously we are focusing on building long-term and sustainable value for shareholders through our investments in Nigeria and Africa. Nigeria is a very entrepreneurial country and I can assure you that other companies will follow us in achieving this.”

Alhaji Dangote debuted on the Forbes billionaires list in 2008 with a fortune we pegged at $3.3bn, which dropped to $2.5bn in 2009 and plunged further to $2.1bn in 2010. His fortune then surged 557% in 2011 to $13.8bn after he took Dangote Cement public but dropped to $11.2bn in last year’s rankings but rebounded at $16.1bn this year.

Alhaji Dangote still likely has bigger ambitions. He told Forbes in 2011 that he expected his firm to have a market capitalisation of $60bn within five years.

NAIRALAND HACKED- June 2014:
NAIRALAND forum not
returning soon! Seun Osewa
hints...








The best forum in Nigeria; Nairaland has
been down for about 48 hours now and
many addicted fans - including moi - have
taken to facebook and twitter to lament.
Although Seun Osewa, the owner of
Nairaland is yet to explain what really
happened - he's not answering messages
directed at him on any of the social media
pages - he kinda hinted us saying 'the site
may not be up soon'
He posted “I am so sorry” on twitter
yesterday and further posted "it may be
worse than you think, it may take much
longer than you expect' today. So, if you
are one of the addicted fans, there is
actually nothing you can do for now than
to keep trying the site and hoping it will be
restored soonest.Nairaland is one of
Nigeria’s most visited sites, with 1.3 million
visitors at the last check.

CREDIT- www.kemifilani.com/2014/06/nairaland-forum-not-returning-soon-seun.html?m=1

Another drop-out?

Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates
dropped out of Harvard to pursue
their interests (Facebook and
Microsoft), Seun also enrolled as a
student of Obafemi Awolowo
University (oops, Great Ife, we rule!)
to study electrical engineering in
1998, but he did not finish. No, he
wasn’t rusticated. Too brilliant to be.
But an account has it he left to do the
“Bill Gates” thing.







So how did he hit the Nairaland jackpot?

an out of money, while I
couldn’t execute many other projects I
researched due to shyness and lack of
capital. My blogs and the mobile phone
forum that preceded Nairaland were
successful but not profitable. However, it
was on that foundation that Nairaland
was built.”
“About 2 years earlier (2003) I had
attempted to start a web hosting
business, but after 3 months I could only
boast of one customer, so I ran out of
capital and the business died. It would
probably have succeeded if I had
managed my capital more wisely or
raised more money as I got many
hosting requests I couldn’t satisfy later
that year.
After that first failure, I was encouraged
to get certifications and a regular job, but
I couldn’t go back to that kind of path
after tasting creative freedom, so I kept
researching business ideas and
presenting them to friends and family,
but no capital was forthcoming to carry
any of them out. I did this for less than 2
years. (The last idea was a site for
sending SMS messages. I picked up
Python to implement it.)
Eventually, I decided to start a web
forum, because it was the only idea that
required no additional capital: I already
had Internet access and a $15 per month
VPS graciously paid for by a family
friend. I created 3 forums in November
2003 (one for higher institution
students, one for IT discussions, and one
to cover the emerging GSM industry; the
Mobile Nigeria Forum at
MobileNigeria.com).
The Mobile Nigeria Forum took off, so I
relaunched it in February 2005 with the
assistance of Mr. John Sagai Adams, who
posted a link to the forum on his mailing
list and participated enthusiastically in
those early days. Other mobile
enthusiasts like Mr. Yomi Adegboye
pitched in to make the site a success. In
a month or so, the forum had about 300
members, but the growth potential didn’t
satisfy me.
I decided to start Nairaland when I
noticed two odd things about
MobileNigeria:
(1) Despite its narrow focus, it was the
only Nigerian community that gave a
voice to Nigerians at home. Most other
Nigerian sites were owned and
dominated by Nigerians in the US or UK.
They covered only issues of interests to
Nigerians abroad.
(2) The off topic section of the forum,
covering topics outside telecoms, like
romance and jokes, was becoming more
vibrant than the Mobile Nigeria Forum
itself, suggesting the need for a more
general-purpose Nigerian forum.
This gave me the confidence to take
forums like Naijaryders and Talknaija
head on by starting a general purpose
discussion forum with a strong bias
towards issues of interest to Nigerians at
home. I felt that such a site could attract
enough traffic to make enough money
from Google adverts. That’s why I
started the Nairaland Forum.” ( CP-
AFRICA.COM)










2005: What’s with that year?

Did I just see Seun say he started Nairaland
in 2005? I am still searching for answer to
why the most successful online ventures
around today started between 2004-2006.
Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Mashable,
Techcrunch, Linda Ikeji, Bella Naija, and
other Kings and Queens of the Social Media
space started during this period. Why?
Okay, Jarushub, the heir apparent, started
in 2013.

FROM FUN TO MILLIONS: HOW SEUN
OSEWA BUILT A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR
ONLINE VENTURE WITH NAIRALAND























Mark Zuckerberg? Yes, that’s the boy
that started Facebook. What started as a
tool to share pictures and poke fun at
chics by some students on Harvard
campus is now a multi-billion dollars
enterprise. With a networth estimated to
be $19 billion, Mark, who will be 30 in May,
is the richest under-30 in the world. He
became a billionaire at 23 years.
Now, Facebook, you know very well;
Google, you visit everyday even to search
for answers to JAMB questions; Youtube,
you watch; Yahoo, you have an email
account with; but have you ever given
thought to one website that recurringly
turns up anytime you search for anything
Nigerian? Does Nairaland ring a bell?








If you’re an active internet user, or you
consult that machine to search for stuff,
chances are you would have come across
Nairaland. Well, Nairaland is Nigeria’s
biggest indigenous website and only
Facebook, Yahoo, Google and are
more viewed than it. Put better, it
commands more visits than Twitter and
Wikipedia in Nigeria. It also bests sites like
Punch, Vanguard, Guardian etc. It is the
seventh most visited website in Nigeria
and among the top 1000 most viewed
sites in the world. Nairaland records more
than one million views everyday.
But behind this hugely successful online
site is one young man called Seun Osewa.








Who is Seun Osewa?

Seun was born some 32 years ago.
He is an indigene of Ogun state (this
state has more firsts than any other
state in Nigeria: Abiola, Obasanjo,
Awolowo, Soyinka, wetin sef?).
He lives in Ogun state and has
refused to move to Lagos, the
“happening capital” of Nigeria.





The beginning was not rosy
-

Small boy just playing on the internet in
2003…no, he actually started with all
seriousness
In this 2006 interview, he narrated how all
his businesses before Nairaland failed
.

kechywillz: Wen will fresh graduates be employed without 1-4yrs working experience?? Nawa o for ma country

Sori oooooo! If i may say!!! It started rite frm the beginging of time in Nigeria, so it has been lik its a legal deal when a JOB is mention!
