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...

2019: Between Olawepo Hashim, Buhari and Atiku

-
Image
There is a wise saying that goes thus, "only foolish people take the same action that has consistently failed them and expect positive outcome". Nigeria today is at a crossroad, no thanks to the incompetent and failed leadership of the political elites that have been taking turns among themselves to enslave Nigerians since 1999, I mean both the Peoples Democratic Party and All Progressive Congress. These two parties and their candidates, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and President Muhammadu Buhari respectively, have been going about spending public funds to convince Nigerians to vote them in the February 16 Presidential election even though they both have damaged antecedents and they naturally should be begging a judge to reduce their jail terms if it were in saner climes. Atiku Abubakar was Vice President for 8 years and was notorious for looting everything he came in contact with, including funds for Petroleum Development Trust Fund. His colleague in looting and American Co...

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

-
Image
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...

A leader of the Middle Belt Forum, Air Commodore Dan Suleiman (Rtd) has said that the Forum will stick to its earlier endorsement of the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Trust (PT) for the 2019 election, Mr. GBENGA Olawepo-Hashim. Suleiman, who stated this at a meeting with members of the Forum in Abuja said that he and a number of the Forum's members were not carried along in the adoption of former Vice President and the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (Pdp) in the February 16 election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar by the ethnic Nationality groups cutting across the North and South. The Pan Yoruba socio political organisation, Afenifere, Northern Elders Forum (NEF), the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the Pan- Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) and the Middle Belt Forum had on Sunday announced the adoption of Atiku Abubakar as candidate of the regions in the February 16 election.

Let’s humanize all people to avoid anarchy

By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat .I was part of a group that had discussion with Greg Pirio, a communication specialist, principal partner at Africa Analytics (A2) and a research professor at Institute of Conflict Analysis and Resolution in Abuja on 19th Oct 2017. I represented our organization, Foundation for Peace Professionals in a focus group discussion that has other civil society organizations in attendance. The subject of the discus was circled around coming up with positive alternative messages to counter the current negative tirade flying all over the media space. The gathering all agreed that consistent broadcast of negative messages by advocate of sectional and partisan interest is a major factor brewing violence and tension in Nigeria and the earlier we begin to counter the negative messages with more positive ones, the better for us and the country. While it is true that every country has its own challenges, countries that allowed negative messages dominate its media space g...

IF NOT AJIBOLA, WHO ELSE? BY MR.RIGHTS

IF NOT AJIBOLA, WHO ELSE? BY MR.RIGHTS For the first time since PDP conducted its primary election, I am coming out from my sit down look mode to contribute to the political logjam that the Kwara PDP are currently being confronted with. Like you all know, I hardly contribute to internal political issues since I am not a member of any political party, but since Senator S.S Ajibola emergence as PDP governorship candidate in Kwara State, many mind troubling comments and incidents have occurred. First of all, we must not forget why Kwara PDP is said to stand for freedom in the liberation struggle. Many opposition members in Kwara state went to PDP not because they are interested in the party itself, they did because Bukola Saraki had taken over the All Progressive Congress (APC) and since Kwarans always believe in the power of a superior federal might, many believed with the PDP’s incumbency status at the federal level, they could successfully defeat Bukola Saraki. Many who explained...
