Between GTB and Innoson, who is playing on public intelligence?

-
Image
By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat Recall that yesterday, The Chairman of Innoson Motors, Innocent Chukwuma, through a statement issued by Cornel Osigwe, Innoson Group’s head of corporate communications, claimed that it has obtained a judgement against Guarantee Trust Bank (GTB) at the Supreme Court. The statement claimed that the apex court ordered the management of GTB to pay Chukwuma a sum of N12 billion within 14 days, after it struck out the motion for stay of execution of the Enugu court of appeal division’s order that GT Bank pays N6 billion into an interest yielding account. However, GTB had countered the claim, saying there was no any judgement like that. In a statement issued by Erhi Obebeduo, GTB Secretary urged the public to disregard what it termed as false, mischievous and malicious statements circulating in the news and social media in respect of a purported directive by the Supreme Court of Nigeria to the Bank to make payments to one of its debtor Customers. ‘’The Bank...

Okonjo-Iweala and Aso Villa Prayer Warriors By Simbo Olorunfemi

I do not know what Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala set out to achieve with her book,‘Fighting Corruption is Dangerous: The Story Behind the Headlines’ but if it is to help repair the damage done to her image on account of her last stint in public service, I doubt that some of the excerpts from the book in the public domain will help in that regard. Her own account: "I was privileged that part of my daily routine was to join the President and his family and his few close friends in Christian fellowship and morning prayers in the Residential Complex of the Villa. It was a way to gain strength for each difficult day. The prayer normally began at 6am so by 5:45am every day..." Prayer is the master-key, someone sings. But the Minister of Finance having to be a part of daily routine of prayers with the President at 6 a.m? Was that really about the prayer or a yearning to be a part of a kitchen cabinet, masquerading as prayer warriors? Madam had to be in a prayer session with the...

By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat Most popular US senator, Bernie Sanders has announced is entrance into the 2020 US presidential race. Two days ago, the runner up to Hilary Clinton in the race to 2016 democratic nomination launched is 2020 campaign at Brooklyn with over 1 million volunteers across the country. People ordinarily wouldn’t vote for any unknown third party. This is the same all over the world. Voting for an unknown third party will be extremely hard, especially a third party, whose campaign they are not seeing on TV and Radio almost all the time. But you can still break the jinx, says Bernie Sanders, a strong U.S presidential candidate in the 2016 general election, now the major candidate in the race for 2020. Before venturing into politics, many thought it was impossible for a third party candidate to win election in U.S. To a lot of people, only Democrats and Republican are destined to win, but Bernie disagreed. He believed that, if Democrats and Republican can do i...

25 points from Interview of ANN Presidential Aspirant, Olawepo Hashim

MrRights present 25 points extracted from an interview by ANN presidential aspirants, Olawepo Hashim • The country we want to build is the country where your regional descent should not define you politically. • I’m completely a cosmopolitan person and we have a lot of Nigerians having dual citizenship. I don’t have dual citizenship. I have only the Nigerian passport. I’ve had the opportunity of taking citizenship of other countries but I had never done that. • What I’m saying is that you have people who were born abroad who could even contest to become British Prime Minister. So, why should that be a big issue in Nigeria? • The Nigeria of our dream is the Nigeria where any Nigerian can get up from anywhere and contest for public office. • I was just talking about Sir. Kashim Ibrahim running election in Benue – a Borno man in a predominantly Christian state, a Muslim and he was elected into the Northern Assembly. • You talk about Zik of Africa who was elected into the Western ...

PDP to FG, heed Bill Gates advice

Instead of diverting public attention with its usual deceit and propaganda, the APC government should gear up and deliver on its hundreds of unfulfilled campaign promises, the PDP Caucus in the House of Representatives has said. In a statement issued by the House Minority Leader, Honourable Leo Ogor, the PDP House caucus warned that the APC’s uncharitable use of the Chibok’s girls’ abduction during the 2015 political campaigns along with its current propaganda efforts cannot help APC win re-election in 2019. “Over and over, it has been proven that hands down, the current APC government in Nigeria beats all preceding administration, including the colonial ones, in the sinister art of deceitful lies and propaganda. “With fiendish mercilessness, APC’s 2015 campaign milked the unfortunate abduction of Chibok girls for every available ounce of propaganda and disinformation against the preceding administration; its campaign rhetoric and official hoopla from the lying ministe...

Kanye West and the ‘’I love you’’ challenge

-

Few days ago, American hip hop rapper, Kanye West challenged the world to love everyone irrespective of past disagreement. The legendary music genius wrote on his twitter page,’’ I've got a new challenge for everyone today. Pick somebody that you had an argument with that you think you hate maybe even someone you haven't spoken to in years and contact that person and tell them, ‘’I love you’’. While the mainstream media and analysts have concentrated their arguments on whether or not it is proper for Mr. West to declare that he loves U.S President Donald Trump, what is not being talked about is the fact that, many of Mr West followers had taken the challenge to heart and have started contacting people they had problems with in the past or those they have not contacted in years, texting them ''i love you''. Some people who carried out the challenge reported the responses they got and it is very interesting. An entertainment news site, nme.com compiled at...
