It was 2 months after he became the acting MD, that he eventually became the substantial MD of what is considered as one of the best run, most profitable, award winning financial institution in Nigeria bar none in June of 2011. </div><div><br /></div><div>And just like yesterday, after 9 eventful years as the exhilarating head honcho of Gtbank, the tenure as stipulated by the laws of the land has ended! It is during this 9 years as the Chief Executive Officer of one of probably Nigeria's most innovative banks that the inimitable Gtbank Fashion Weekend began and also the Gtbank Food Fair. Till tomorrow these 2 annual events are 2 of the most looked forward to, the most eagerly awaited lifestyle events in Nigeria. The fashion weekend in only a space of a few years, became the numero uno fashion event in Nigeria bar none, where the best of Nigerian fashion brands showcase on an international standard stage with their international counterparts from around the world. So also the Food fair too. </div><div><br /></div><div>It's not just about organizing those events just for show off, it's about how the platforms have promoted so strategically and profitably, brands & enterprises in the past years. The kinds of mileages that many brands have gotten via the 2 platforms have been extraordinary to say the least, so both platforms have been ingenious ideas, leading to many others imitating them. Like the say imitation is the best form of flattery. So they have been imitated, but never beaten. </div><div><br /></div><div>The 2 well received and well applauded platforms are just 2 of the many achievements of the Julius Olusegun Agbaje led Management team. Many of the ideas that they brought in since 9 years ago have led to the bank becoming a leader in the industry, winning awards upon awards over the years in many areas. So now after 9 years of excellence, the baton is about to be exchanged and the torch is set to change hands once again. And there might have arisen a bit of issue on who the cap fits! </div><div><br /></div><div>According to unconfirmed news, the outgoing boss, in the person of the stylish and result oriented Segun Agbaje would have preferred either of his 2 rookie but brilliant Executive Directors in the persons of Miriam Olusanya & Jide Okuntola to take over from him, but for the first time, the board of directors who normally are like a rubber stamp, who normally accepts whatever the outgoing MD lays before them, have refused to bulge this time around. </div><div><br /></div><div>What we hear that may have been the issue is that, the board are of the strong opinion that there are far more experienced and more competent hands with far more technical abilities on the board of directors to take over, rather than the rookies been proposed by the MD. So alas, the point of conflict! So the proposal by the MD was rejected! We are too sure that everything would soon be resolved and whomsoever emerges as the torchbearer, would be someone that would have the wherewithal, the resources to take the bank to the next frontier. </div><div><br /></div><div>The outgoing CEO at 56 still relatively young, having been born in 1964, still has loads up his sleeves to contribute. He was recently elected on July 15, 2020 to be more specific to the board of directors of PepsiCo. </div><div><br /></div><div>His educational background is as follows- St. Gregory College, Obalende Lagos & St. Augustine Academy Kent for his secondary schools, University of San Francisco for his Bsc in Accountancy & Masters in Business administration. </div><div><br /></div><div>Began his career at Ernst & Young, San Francisco, USA. In 1991 he joined Gtbank (Guaranteed Trust Bank) as a pioneer staff. He rose through the ranks and became Executive Director in January 2000. Thereafter, he became the DMD (deputy managing director) of the bank in 2002. He was appointed the acting MD in April of 2011, became the substantive MD in June of 2011. He joined the board of directors of Gtbank 20 years ago in January of 2000. So having satisfied the stipulation of the laws, he has to retire. </div><div><br /></div><div>He is married to the supremely gorgeous and fantastically stylish Derin Agbaje. When Segun Agbaje is not in his stifling garbs of office, which is the suit and tie, which he forever looks dapper wearing, he is quite avant garde in his style, which we applaud.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3450932221529325289.post-8002901647605244412020-07-27T15:15:00.000+01:002020-07-27T15:15:02.386+01:00FORMER FLAMBOYANT HEAD PASTOR, FOUNDER/OVERSEER OF ZOE MINISTRIES WORLDWIDE, PASTOR PATRICK ANWUZIA IN CRITICAL SITUATION <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<br />
<br />
Is this a typical case of healer heal thyself?<br />
<br />
In his heydays or better still the heydays of his then quite popular ministries, he was one of those pastors (men of God (god) then that was larger than life, who was seen or perceived as an enigma of a sort.<br />
<br />
He bestrode the pulpit like a colossus, preaching his brand of prosperity message with strong point. He was dashing in his well sewn, well starched, properly worn outfits, selling his style of the gospel and maybe because of his dexterity of delivery and his obvious gift of the garb, he had tens of thousands, some claimed hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of followers around the globe-Nigeria, USA, UK, South Korea etc. He was a miracle ditching pastor, a prosperity message preacher, who always spoke about his conviction with outspoken & enlightened pride.<br />
<br />
In those days he was one of the more popular televangelists of note. He actually walked what he preached, as a then prosperity minister, who comfortably cruised around with the array of the lastest machines on wheels then, that used to dazzle all comers. Those machines then had numbers like Zoe 1, 2, 3 etc with all the trappings & security personnel surrounding him, all armed and more all about him. He was the ultimate flamboyant preacher. When he came anywhere, it was like the President or king or Governor himself was the one visiting. There were those then, who used to wonder about how come the God was somewhat partial to some and blessed them with far more than they needed, with such abundance, while others were just struggling to patch it up and make ends meet.<br />
<br />
To be on TV and regularly at that too, is not chicken feed at all. So one must understand the kind of money that could have gone into being a popular TV person then, the way Pastor Anwuzia then was.<br />
<br />
But fast forward now to a few years afterwards, to about a decade or more now and so shocking to see that things have since gone totally south so quickly and maybe terribly too! The ministry, the church has since gone under and none existent, not to be heard again or just in whispers.<br />
<br />
Alas, the same very popular man of God, who was a delight to watch as he did his thing then, a contemporary of the late equally flamboyant Rev./Apostle Gabriel Oduyemi of the Bethel Ministries Wonder City, Lekki, one who supposedly had the gift of impartation and other gifts/virtues that helped others is now unbelievably at the receiving end! No more Zoe ministry and then his health has fallen terribly, with him supposedly having liver & kidney problems and having the need to be flown abroad for urgent top class medical attention!<br />
<br />
It hasn't been an easy time for many years for Pastor Anwuzia. A few years back, it was claimed then that assassins went after him reasons for that wasn't clear & now it's a debilitating health issue that he is battling majorly to survive, while it is claimed he is bedridden. </div>

<br />
Her journey home to mother earth begins next week, on Thursday & Friday to be more precise.<br />
<br />
The news of her painful passage/death on Thursday, July 16, 2020, when she breathed her last, from the complications that arose from childbirth (days after she had successfully given birth to her one & only) hit everyone like a sledgehammer. She was someone everyone was eagerly awaiting, for them to celebrate with and the reverberations from the sad occurrence has not abated since, even many days after her death happened. Many are still thinking that maybe, just maybe, it's still a bad joke & a bad dream/nightmare that would soon go away and that people would soon wake up from and that Dieko would soon appear again on the scene, like nothing really happened. Bringing utmost joy into the lives of her loved ones.<br />
<br />
But alas, the lady with the beautiful heart is gone, a kind soul to the core, a giver and a lover has gone forever! Shame!!!!<br />
<br />
Since her passing though, it has been an outpouring of divergent emotions from everywhere, with people falling over themselves to eulogize her and remember her as appropriately as they can.<br />
<br />
Her long awaited child (son), who was born on Tuesday July 7, 2020, just 9 days before her unfortunate demise, is doing great and is getting the very best of care that a child born into awesome provisions could get. The boy can also expect extraordinary care and more from so many people, as he is now the only physical remembrance of his well loved mom, who has transcended this world and has begun another journey on another plain already. The people are sure to over compensate on this baby.<br />
<br />
May Dieko's soul continue to rest.<br />
<br />
<b><i>As part of the activities towards her ultimate send off/burial, come Thursday, July 30, 2020 between the hours of 5.30 & 7.00pm there would be a [Service of Songs] in memory of the dearly departed. And friends and associates alike, would be joining her family members on Zoom to partake in the service. </i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Thereafter, on 'Friday, July 31, 2020' in Arlington, Virginia, USA, her [funeral service] would take place between the hours of 10am & 11.30am and she would be committed to mother earth. As everyone bids their farewell. </i></b><br />
<br />
<b><i>A more physical gathering would also be held too, but it's at a later date maybe in Ilorin, Kwara State & or Lagos, sometime in August of 2020, date of which would be communicated and that gathering is going to be strictly by invitation, owing to the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic restrictions or the observation of protocols on close quarters gatherings. That gathering is tagged a "Celebration of Life".</i></b><br />
<br />

Could it be that the prophecies or better put another prediction of Prophet Elijah Babatunde Ayodele of Inri has hit the mark.? Could this just be another perfect coincidence? Could it have been that a vague prediction has hit the mark so accurately?<br />
<br />
So okay very recently, one of the things the seer claimed to have seen was that, death is still knocking around the President's inner circle, that there's the likelihood he would still be bereaved again and just a few weeks after he said it, the President has truly just lost a good friend/close friend, in the person of Mallam Ismail Isa-Funtua! <br />
<br />
Remember him? He was one of those that people thought was vying for the position of the Chief of Staff to the President after the death of the former one, the late Abba Kyari.<br />
<br />
He had come out during that time to refute his supposed interest in the position, when he said categorically he wasn't interested in the position and that it was in fact beneath him.<br />
<br />
The elder statesman at 78, succumbed to death today, in fact Monday night to complications arising from cardiac arrest.<br />
<br />
He was the founding Managing Director of Democrat Newspaper and a former President of the Newspaper Proprietors Association of Nigeria (NPAN).<br />
<br />
He was the father to President Buhari’s son-in-law. And one of those some considered to be one of the cabal, so he had the ears of the President.<br />
<br />
He was a life patron of Newspaper’s Proprietors Association of Nigeria (NPAN) and Chairman of the famous Bullet Construcion company with an intimidating portfolio.<br />
<br />
He will be buried according to Islamic rites Tuesday.</div>

<br />
The sadness over her quite unfortunate passing has been too heavy a burden to bear. Just imagine that a beautiful soul, a kind-hearted person per excellence, a true worshipper at that, a humanitarian by the very definition of it, one who had been waiting with bated breath for so long, 10 long years to be more specific, for her own fruit. Her own child.<br />
<br />
A decade of trusting, a whole decade of believing, a decade of knowing that God would make the miracle happen no matter what, a decade of holding on to her God in a more special way and just at that point that the prayer, like Hannah's was answered, just when she had exhaled that finally here it is, then death just came calling to disrupt the party, just a few days after her dream had finally come through and true, she was just snatched away like that!<br />
<br />
What a loss! What a sad loss! What a painful loss! What a traumatic loss!<br />
<br />
How can her people, her loved ones, those who had been quietly praying along with her, trusting in the Lord with her, those who knew her quiet pain, those who had offered words of advices, words of encouragement, words of consolation & prayers where needed, be consoled? There are those who are given this gift and don't actually want it or need it and are even willing to throw away the special gift, the same child some are/have been praying for, so fervently with their whole being, like it's nothing! For some it's just like touch and go, before you know it, something has happened, while for some, it's about fervent prayers, trusting in their maker for a miracle. <br />
But for Dieko, just when it was thought that the rainbow had appeared on her horizon, signposting glad tidings, then like a thief in the night, the one that comes to steal, kill and destroy, the most shameless & horrible enemy of man-death, came calling and has left such pain in its wake.<br />
<br />
And so 'Diekolola Olatanwa Osa-Avielele' came & she sojourned for just 44 years, did what is considered her best and she's now gone. Like a candle in the wind, leaving just great memories behind for those who love her to linger on.<br />
<br />
Many of those who know her, be they family members, associates, friends and more, have found the news of her passage totally unbelievable! It has been shock galore since last week Thursday, when the sad occurrence happened in far away Fairfax Virginia, USA. Many are still grappling with the news, hoping against hope that the news is actually a lie of the devil! But alas it is true, she's actually gone and has already even begun the next chapter of her new journey<br />
<br />
She would most likely be buried abroad, especially with the general lockdown that's still prevalent now, that's not allowing international travels.<br />
<br />
May her beautiful soul find rest. We commiserate with all her loved ones over her death. God grant you all the strength to accept what has occurred already. </div>

<br />
Maybe their reaction came after the uproar from various quarters, that the so called accidental death of the record breaking female pilot-late Tolulope Arotile was suspicious. Many had called for a thorough investigation to unearth the remote cause of her death, which occured just a few days back and has left a bad taste in the mouth.<br />
<br />
So the Airforce have reacted below stating their part in the whole mess. They took their time to pooh-pooh all the insinuations raised and have asked the police to do further investigation. <br />
<br />
The late Flying Officer Tolulope Arotile would be buried come Thursday July 23, 2020 with full military honors. She would be sorely missed.<br />
<br />
THE TRUTH FROM THE NIGERIAN AIR FORCE..<br />
<br />
*PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION REPORT ON THE DEATH OF FLYING OFFICER TOLULOPE AROTILE*<br />
<br />
1. On 14 July 2020, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), and indeed the entire Nation, was thrown into mourning as a result of the death of one of our shining young stars in the person of Flying Officer Tolulope Arotile, the NAF’s first female combat helicopter pilot. Her unfortunate demise has elicited an overwhelming outpouring of condolences, prayers and support to the NAF as well as the Arotile Family. This has no doubt been so, not just for Tolulope’s outstanding accomplishments at the tender age of 24, but also because of her sterling personal qualities of excellence, hard work, dedication to duty, confidence and courage, which endeared her to her superiors, subordinates and peers in the Service. Unfortunately, because of the peculiar circumstances of the incident that led to her death, a rash of falsehoods, innuendos, conspiracy theories and the likes have been propagated in the public space, especially on Social Media. The NAF sincerely hopes that the findings of the just-concluded preliminary investigation into this unfortunate and painful incident will address the misinformed issues raised in the Social Media on the tragedy.<br />
<br />
2. Moreover, while it would have been ideal for the entire investigation to be concluded before details on the incident are released, the NAF, in sensitivity to public concerns occasioned by the spread of false information, appreciates the imperative to provide more clarity at this very difficult moment. Please note that the details being revealed today have already been communicated to the Arotile Family, who ideally should be allowed to mourn their daughter and sister in peace, but for the unfortunate nature of the sad occurrence.<br />
<br />
3. In line with the normal procedure in the Nigerian Air Force during such occurrences, an investigation was immediately instituted to formally determine the circumstances of the incident. Accordingly, the preliminary investigation has revealed the following details:<br />
<br />
a. The Late Flying Officer Tolulope Arotile, a Squadron Pilot at the 405 Helicopter Combat Training Group (405 HCTG) Enugu, attached to the Air Component of Operation GAMA AIKI in Minna, having recently completed her Promotion Examinations, was in Kaduna awaiting deployment for her next assignment. During this period, she stayed with her sister, Mrs Damilola Adegboye, at Sabo Area in Kaduna, visiting the NAF Base whenever necessary.<br />
<br />
b. On 14 July 2020 at about 10.55am, Late Flying Officer Arotile received a phone call from her colleague, Flying Officer Perry Karimo, a fellow helicopter pilot from the 405 HCTG, who wanted to discuss arrangements for their return to Enugu, requesting that she comes to the Base so that they could work out the modalities. Subsequently, at about 10.58am, the Late Arotile placed a call through to Squadron Leader Diepiriye Batubo, the Group Operations Officer (GOO) of 405 HCTG, who was in Minna at the time, to clarify issues regarding her deployment. It must be highlighted that the call FROM Flying Officer Karimo as well as the one TO the Squadron Leader Batubo both took place before 11.00am, over 5 hours before the incident which led to her death.<br />
<br />
c. Flying Officer Arotile was later conveyed from Sabo to the NAF Base Kaduna by her sister, Mrs Adegboye, where the Deceased dropped her phone for charging at a house in the Instructor Pilots’ Quarters belonging to Squadron Leader Alfa Ekele. Her elder sister later dropped her off at the Base Mammy Market at about 4.00pm, where she proceeded to photocopy and laminate some documents. It was while she was returning from the Mammy Market at about 4.30pm that 3 of her former schoolmates at the Air Force Secondary School (now Air Force Comprehensive School) Kaduna; Mr Nehemiah Adejoh, Mr Igbekele Folorunsho and Mr Festus Gbayegun, drove past her in a Kia Sorento SUV, with Registration Number AZ 478 MKA. It is noteworthy that Messrs Adejoh, Folorunsho and Gbayegun are all civilians who live outside NAF Base Kaduna, but were on their way to visit one Mrs Chioma Ugwu, wife of Squadron Leader Chukwuemeka Ugwu, who lives at Ekagbo Quarters on the Base.<br />
<br />
d. Upon recognising their schoolmate, Arotile, after passing her, Mr Adejoh, who was driving, reversed the vehicle, ostensibly in an attempt to quickly meet up with the Deceased, who was walking in the opposite direction. In the process, the vehicle struck Flying Officer Arotile from the rear, knocking her down with significant force and causing her to hit her head on the pavement. The vehicle then ran over parts of her body as it veered off the road beyond the kerb and onto the pavement, causing her further injuries.<br />
<br />
e. Flying Officer Arotile was subsequently rushed to the 461 NAF Hospital Kaduna for treatment, while Mr Folorunsho (one of the occupants of the vehicle) who is also an Accident & Emergency Nurse at the St Gerard Catholic Hospital Kaduna, administered First Aid.<br />
<br />
f. Flying Officer Arotile was confirmed dead by the On-Call Doctor at the 461 NAF Hospital at about 4.45pm on 14 July 2020, as a result of the head injuries. <br />
<br />
g. The trio of Messrs Nehemiah Adejoh, Igbekele Folorunsho and Festus Gbayegun were immediately detained at the Air Provost Wing, 453 Base Services Group Kaduna as investigations began. They were subjected to Toxicology Tests at the 461 NAF Hospital but no traces of alcohol or psychotropic substances were found in their systems. It was however discovered that the driver of the vehicle, Mr Nehemiah Adejo, did not have a valid driver’s license.<br />
<br />
h. Traffic Officers from the Kawo Police Station and the Kaduna State Police Command as well as Road Traffic experts from the Federal Road Safety Corp were also called in to provide support during the investigation.<br />
<br />
4. Having carefully considered the foregoing, the preliminary investigation concluded that:<br />
<br />
a. The death of Flying Officer Arotile was caused by blunt force trauma to the head and significant bleeding resulting from being struck by the vehicle.<br />
<br />
b. Being a civil case, the matter will be handed over to the Nigeria Police with a view to further investigating and charging the suspects to court in accordance with extant laws.<br />
<br />
5. The Nigerian Air Force, being a highly professional and disciplined organization, will not join issues with any individuals or groups regarding the spurious allegations of ‘foul play’ espoused in some quarters. Suffice it to say that Flying Officer Arotile was a pride of the NAF in whom the Service had invested massively in terms of resources, time and energy. Consequently, it is ludicrous for anyone to even remotely insinuate malevolent intent on the part of the Service against one of its most prized assets.<br />
<br />
6. Furthermore, it is extremely sad and disheartening that, rather than allow the Arotile Family and the Nigerian Air Force to grieve for our dearly departed Tolulope in peace, many have chosen to politicize her death, while others are using the incident to push meritless, misguided ethnic and religious agendas. The Nigerian Air Force wishes to implore everyone to respect the sensibilities of all those who have suffered most by this loss, those who really knew Tolulope - her family, her friends and her Nigerian Air Force colleagues. It is of absolute importance that the memory of this Fallen Hero and our precious child is not tainted by the propagation of misplaced sentiments and wild shenanigans. Before I end this august address, may I respectfully, on behalf of the Chief of the Air Staff, the entire personnel of the NAF as well as members of the Arotile Family, express my profound appreciation to all those who in one way or the other have shown concern, support and sympathy over this unfortunate incident. Thank you for your attention.<br />

<br />
Her sad & excruciating passing, a quite unfortunate one at that came on Thursday July 16, 2020 in far away Fairfax, Virginia USA at the quite young age of 44. It was just a few days after the birth of her bouncing baby son, who incidentally is doing quite well, but has no knowledge whatsoever that he has lost his mother, unfortunately!<br />
<br />
The boss of the Cedarwood Group, owners of Cedarwood Rentals & D Venue by Cedarwood with branches both in Abuja and Lagos is a philanthropist par excellence & a great Christian and a passionate businesswoman, who owns one of the best events places both in Lagos and Abuja. Her brand was actually one of the pioneers of the famous Chiavari and Napoleon chairs, both of which have now become the staple in the industry for those that own standard, upscale events centers across the country.<br />
<br />
Her other awesome passion is her foundation the 'Cedarwood Foundation' which helps to assist with the education of the less privileged. Even with the extraordinary interventions that she has done in this area, she's one person that doesn't want attention shown on it at all, as she believes it's something that's between her and her God, of whom she is also awesomely passionate about.<br />
<br />
She spent all of her growing up years in Ilorin, Kwara State where she attended the University of Ilorin Primary School, then the Unilorin Secondary School and then the University of Ilorin, Kwara State where she graduated with a degree in Law (BL). She then went to the Abuja Campus of the Nigerian Law School and was then called to bar in 2001. She then sojourned abroad to the US, where she attended the famous Howard University, School of Law, Washington DC, USA for her LLM (Masters in Law).<br />
<br />
She thereafter came back to Nigeria and worked as an in-house lawyer at the 'Otunba Michael Agboolade Adenuga's Globacom in 2004 she spent bless than a year there and later moved to Conoil Producing, still owned by the same billionaire, also as an in-house lawyer too, before she later resigned not too long afterwards to set up her own brand, which was her most satisfying passion, the 'Cedarwood' brand. A brand that she gradually built from scratch, which like an acorn with the start of Cedarwood Rentals, grew and grew and became the Oak tree-Cedarwood Group that it is known as today.<br />
<br />
She brought a lot of fantastic innovation into the industry. Her marquee, where she excelled excellently and became one of the leading Mobile Marquee Company in Nigeria, was even adjudged to be one of the coldest, coolest with sweet smelling fragrances wafting from their various fragrance machines strategically positioned around the hall or marquee. The uncompromising humanitarian, was a top official (President or Vice President) of the 'Association of Venue Owners Lagos Nigeria' [AVOLN] Island.<br />
<br />
The supremely gorgeous and fantastically kindhearted 'Diekolola Olatanwa Osa-Avielele nee Adebayo' is the 2nd daughter out of the 6 kids of the academician (teacher) turned politician, being the former Governor of Kwara State, who later became the Minister of Communications in Nigeria, in the person of his excellency ' Senator/Chief Cornelius Olatunji Adebayo'. Her dad remains the only Governor to have had the shortest reign in the history of Kwara State till date, as he ruled for just a few months in 1983.<br />
<br />
Dieko as most call her, is married to Emmanuel Osa-Avielele a Bini man from Edo State, who is a top banker. She's survived by her immediate family. There are 5 gals and a boy in her family.<br />
1. Bukunola Ajayi<br />
2. Diekolola Osa Avielele<br />
3. Mosunmola Jegede<br />
4. Abimbola Dayo Adewoye<br />
5. Ayobola Toyosi Thomas<br />
6. Cornelius Oluwasegun Adebayo and others. Her dad is still alive and is 79 year old.<br />
<br />
May her beautiful soul find rest and may those she left behind find the strength to bear her sad loss.<br />
<br />
The old students (her schoolmates) of the University of Ilorin under the umbrella of "Uniting-Unilorin & Friends" especially prays for the repose of the soul of the dearly departed. #RIP</div>

<br />
The earth in general is still reeling from the unfortunate & untimely passage of the ultimate queen of hearts, in the person of the incredible, the beautiful, the supremely well loved, the very passionate, the relentlessly hardworking and the darling of many hearts, the one & the only Pastor Ibidunni Ighodalo.<br />
<br />
The sad and extremely shocking occurrence that happened last month, Sunday June 14, 2020 and which has left a pain in the heart, that has refused to go away since then is still very recent.<br />
<br />
The outpouring of love from all & sundry, from home and abroad, that the shocking passage brought about, has remained unprecedented in the history of the country. From near and far, from the young to the old, from the men to the women, from Christians and Moslems alike, it was emotion galore as everyone had wonderful things to say about the 39 year old late event management guru, who was the founder of the award winning Elizabeth R Company and also the initiator of the lovely 'Ibidunni Ighodalo Foundation'.<br />
<br />
Had time permitted, had time considered the pain that her ill-timed passage would have wrought in the hearts of all, due to her departure, maybe she would have been left alone to still be alive to celebrate her 40th birthday, to still take care of her kids, her doting husband and her family and friends. She had looked forward eagerly to her 40th as she had a project very dear to her angelic heart that she had planned to launch in commemoration of the particular birthday, being her 40th.<br />
<br />
No one expected nor prayed that she wouldn't be around on the day, in fact, those in the know were equally eager with her, so plan though quietly in the background, were ongoing to touch loads of lives as a mark of celebrating the birthday.<br />
<br />
But alas, like it is said "man proposes, God disposes....so instead of allowing her dream to just go into the wind just like because she has passed on, those in charge of her foundation, led by her still traumatized husband have thought to immortalize her name and keep her light burning 🔥 forever.<br />
<br />
So the 'Ibidunni Ighodalo Foundation (IIF)' announced at a press conference held yesterday, the commencement of its 40at40 initiative in accordance with its founder's last wish before she transited on Sunday 14th June, 2019. Her utmost desire was to celebrate her 40th birthday which would have come up on Sunday July 19, 2020 by granting 40 couples in dire need of 'reproductive interventions', a once in a lifetime opportunity to become parents.<br />
<br />
The board of IIF is determined to ensure that this her last wish-to celebrate her birthday without a party of any kind, but to give the gift of parenthood for 40 indigent families is fulfilled to the letter.<br />
<br />
Also today, Saturday July 18, 2020, as a precursor to the actual day/date, but still in celebration of her now posthumous 40th birthday, a festival of songs at a programme tagged - "An Evening of Global Worship" would take place from 8pm, then on her actual birthday date itself, which is Sunday July 19, 2020 a 'Remembrance Birthday Service' would also be held for her. Both events would be aired live on the Trinity House Church portals.<br />
<br />
Ibidunni Ituah Ighodalo nee Ajayi, 39 died in her hotel room in Port Harcourt, Rivers State from Cardiac Arrest on Sunday June 14, 2020. She was given what could have been tagged a 'fantastic farewell' befitting a queen & a state burial, 6 days after her death on a special date- Saturday June 20, 2020. If money could have satisfied the grim reaper-death, 'Ibidunni Olajumoke Ighodalo' would still be alive as we speak now, celebrating her day heartily with everyone, most especially those she would have presented the gifts of a lifetime to.<br />
<br />
She left behind her husband, the well connected, very amiable gentleman, 'Pastor Ituah Ighodalo', her 2 adorable kids-'Keke & Zenan', many immediate family members, including her mom 'Madam. Monilola Ajayi', associates, very many friends and fans.<br />
<br />
On this occasion of what would have been her 40th birthday, a new beginning of another chapter of her life, we wish her a hearty posthumous birthday and pray that her angelic soul would continue to rest.</div>

<br />
The young man, believed to be African-American is just 21 and a self proclaimed entrepreneur. He apparently worked for Fahim Saleh as his Chief of Staff at his company 'Adventure Capital'. He apparently combined his Chief of Staff status with being the tech millionaire's personal assistant who was in charge of finances, hence him being able to steal systematically from his boss over a period of time. We are too sure he didn't envisaged getting discovered.<br />
<br />
The total amount stolen is said to be about [$100,000], which Fahim discovered and asked him to pay back over a period of time. So there was an agreed repayment plan which Haspil even reneged on.<br />
<br />
Not much is known about his (Haspil) college education, apart from that he finished from Long Island's Valley Stream Central High School, where he competed in a Business contest in Web Design and won. His boss might have gotten notice of him from such a contest and then employed him as an intern who should be encouraged. But 'Tyrese Devon Haspil' is a self described entrepreneur and has his own marketing and consulting brand.<br />
<br />
Apparently he (Haspil) was angered that he was discovered and told to pay back stolen money. And since his benevolent boss didn't report the theft to the police like he should have done, he may have thought it best to take him out quickly, rather than him looking for a whooping $100,000 to return.<br />
<br />
From what was discovered about him, he apparently loved living large (had expensive taste) spotting designer outfits and all. What the suspect that entered the elevator with Fahim Saleh on the day he was murdered wore, was an expensive 3-piece suit, though he covered his face with a mask and wore hood & gloves and all, so as not to be discovered.<br />
<br />
Fahim's expensive flat bought at over $2million Dollars, occupies the entire 7th floor of the 10 storey building. And the elevator opens directly into his apartment. His killer pretended like he was going somewhere else and must have stunned him with a taser as Fahim as seen from the CCTV, staggering out of the elevator on his floor into his apartment. He was then stabbed several times on the torso and neck. The knowledgeable killer- "Butcher of Manhattan", then waited till his blood coagulated (it has been said he killed on Monday & then came back another to finish off the job), before embarking on the gruesome dismemberment. Cutting him (Fahim Saleh) to pieces one by one. He removed the head, cut off the arms and the legs. To show his expertise, the blood was just in a neat pool in one corner, while parts of the dismembered body were neatly placed in contractor garbage bags around- the head, 2 arms and 2 legs. They were all said to have been cut with surgical precision!<br />
<br />
The police were able to piece together evidence to reveal who was the likely killer via the taser and also by doing a credit check. <b><i>The Police were able to identify Haspil through Anti-Felon Identity Card (AFID Cards) that were around Fahim's apartment like confetti. AFID cards are small, colorful tags inside most Taser cartridges that are printed with serial numbers. Whenever the Taser is deployed, 20 to 30 AFID cards are ejected, enabling law enforcement to trace the stun gun used, according to Taser manufacturer Axon.</i></b><br />
<br />
The Credit Check carried out also revealed that Haspil had bought a saw & cleaning supplies from a nearby Home Depot store on the day of the murder. Remember the killer had tried to clean up the scene of the murder and must have been interrupted while doing his dastardly scheme as he left the saw used for cutting still in the plug and ran away! Also it was discovered that he had even used his card to pay for rides to and from the crime scene.<br />
<br />
As at the time of his death, Fahim Saleh is said to have been worth between $100 to $150million Dollars.<br />
<br />
May his soul find rest! </div>

<br />
The Federal Government of Nigeria, through the National Council for Arts and Culture, NCAC, has endorsed a forthcoming book titled, Nigeria @60: 60 Foremost Nigerians In the Last 60 Years; being written by celebrity journalist and author, Lanre Alfred.<br />
According to Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, Director-General, NCAC, “The book is a transgenerational effort that is in tandem with the federal government’s appreciation of the need for proper documentation in enduring forms, significant events of our chequered history and the roles of outstanding men and women who created the history.”<br />
<br />
Runsewe further said the book is of significant historical and cultural value to this generation, especially as Nigeria counts down to her 60th anniversary.<br />
<br />
Speaking on the essence of the book, Alfred said Nigeria is a nation guilty of not keeping data, which has, over the years, led to the distortion of Nigeria’s history. “As Nigeria turns 60 this year, it behooves us, therefore, to record and recall for posterity, historians and today’s youth who are bereft of quality role models the inspiring exploits and attainments of Nigeria’s foremost citizens of the last six decades while documenting and highlighting their outstanding resilience and perseverance in their ambitious dash for honour and progress in the face of daunting political and socio-economic odds,” Alfred said.<br />
<br />
He said further that he finds it particularly inspiring and instructive to share the story of Nigeria’s heroes past and present with this generation which has so much to learn from their enviable professional and personal trajectories.<br />
<br />
<br />
Alfred affirmed that the book would be out in October to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Nigeria and will be made available to libraries and higher institutions across the country.<br />
<br />
A former society editor at Thisday Newspapers, the widely-traveled journalist is also the publisher of the popular coffee table books; Titans…The Amazing Exploits of Nigeria’s Greatest Achievers; and Highlife – Lifestyles of Nigeria’s Rich and Famous; and biographies like Pacemaker – Triumphs of Igho Sanomi at 40; The Lion of Afia Nsit – Triumphs of Scott Tommey at 45; Julius Rone…The Jewel of the Delta; and Dapo Abiodun…The Heart of Prince.</div>

<br />
Just 4 days after the terrible & heart wrenching murder of the young man (33 year old) behind the GOKADA brand fame, where he was found in his million dollars apartment in New York not just killed, but with his body parts dismembered. His killer has been found and arrested by the Police as published by the New York Times duo of Williams K. Rashbaum & Michael Gold.<br />
<br />
The evil dude behind the whole thing, who took his time to not only kill his boss, but then began to cut him into pieces was actually his disgruntled personal assistant, who Fahim had discovered was a thief, who had been stealing and already stolen tens of thousands of dollars from him !<br />
<br />
Read the full report below. It's a great breakthrough.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/17/nyregion/fahim-saleh-suspect-tyrese-devon-haspil.html" target="_blank">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/17/nyregion/fahim-saleh-suspect-tyrese-devon-haspil.html</a><br />
The personal assistant of a young tech entrepreneur who was found decapitated and dismembered in his Manhattan apartment this week was arrested early on Friday and is expected to be charged in the grisly killing, according to two officials briefed on the matter.<br />
<br />
The entrepreneur, Fahim Saleh, 33, was discovered dead on Tuesday afternoon by his sister inside his $2.25 million condo in a luxury building on the Lower East Side, the police said. She had gone to check in on him after not hearing from him for about a day.<br />
<br />
She found a gruesome scene: Mr. Saleh’s head and limbs had been removed, and parts of his body had been placed in large plastic bags. An electric saw was still plugged in nearby.<br />
<br />
The personal assistant, Tyrese Devon Haspil, 21, was expected to be charged in a criminal complaint with second degree murder and other crimes.<br />
<br />
Detectives believe that the motive for the killing stemmed from Mr. Saleh having discovered that the assistant had stolen tens of thousands of dollars from him, despite the fact that Mr. Saleh had not reported the man and had set up what amounted to a repayment plan for him to return the money, one of the officials said.<br />
<br />
Police were expected to announce the arrest at news conference on Friday.<br />
<br />
Investigators have also concluded that Mr. Saleh was killed on Monday, the day before his body was found, and that the killer used his employer’s credit card to pay for a car to a Home Depot, on West 23rd Street in Manhattan, to buy cleaning supplies to sanitize the crime scene, the official said. The killer returned to Mr. Saleh’s apartment the next day to dismember the body and clean up the crime scene.<br />
<br />
Detectives believe that the killer, dressed in a black three-piece suit, wearing a black mask and carrying a duffel bag, followed Mr. Saleh off an elevator in his building and into his apartment, a law enforcement official said. He used a Taser to immobilize Mr. Saleh and then stabbed him to death.<br />
<br />
Security video taken from inside the elevator shows the killer later using a battery-operated portable vacuum cleaner in an apparent effort to remove any traces of his presence, the official said.<br />
<br />
New York City’s medical examiner announced on Thursday that Mr. Saleh had died from multiple stab wounds to his neck and torso. Initially, a law enforcement official had described the killing as a “hit” and said it looked “like a professional job.”<br />
<br />
Detectives investigating the murder believe the killer’s work dismembering the body was interrupted when Mr. Saleh’s sister buzzed from the building’s lobby, another official said, prompting him to flee through the apartment’s back door and into a stairwell before the sister arrived.<br />
<br />
Mr. Saleh’s family said in a statement on Wednesday that the gruesome killing was so shocking it was unfathomable.<br />
<br />
“Fahim is more than what you are reading,” the family said. “He is so much more. His brilliant and innovative mind took everyone who was a part of his world on a journey and he made sure never to leave anyone behind.”<br />
<br />
Mr. Saleh was born in Saudi Arabia to Bangladeshi parents who eventually settled near Poughkeepsie, N.Y., a small city on the Hudson River.<br />
<br />
After graduating from Bentley University in Waltham, Mass., in 2009, he built an app called PrankDial that allowed users to send prerecorded prank calls. Mr. Saleh said he eventually built PrankDial into a $10 million business.<br />
<br />
Mr. Saleh went on to found Pathao, a motorcycle ride-sharing start-up in Bangladesh. He left that company in 2018 to begin a similar venture in Nigeria, an app known as Gokada.<br />
<br />
At the time of his death, Mr. Saleh was the chief executive of Gokada and oversaw a shift in its business during a turbulent time. In February, Nigerian officials began enforcing a ban on motorcycle taxis in major commercial and residential parts of the country’s largest city, Lagos.<br />
<br />
Gokada was forced to halt its ride-hailing business and laid workers off, but Mr. Saleh pivoted the company to focus on food and parcel delivery and business logistics.<br />
<br />
“Fahim’s passion for Nigeria and its youth was immeasurable,” Gokada said in a statement. “He believed young Nigerians were extremely bright and talented individuals who would flourish if just given the right opportunity.”<br />
<br />
Mr. Saleh was also the founding partner in a Manhattan-based venture capital fund, Adventure Capital, that invested in similar transit start-ups in Colombia and Bangladesh.</div>

<br />
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has finally provided more details about what led to the death of their late record breaking 24-year-old Flying Officer, Tolulope Arotile.<br />
<br />
Tolulope Arotile, who became Nigeria’s first ever female combat helicopter pilot in 2019, was knocked down by a car driven by her former classmate, said NAF’s Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola.<br />
<br />
The Air Force had earlier announced that Arotile, an indigene of Kogi State, had died from head injuries she sustained from a road traffic accident at the NAF Base in Kaduna State. Which led to a lot of questions coming from every and everyone asking how an accident could have occured at the base when it's not like an expressway where people just speed like their lives depends on it.<br />
<br />
Many Nigerians were unsatisfied with the very brief explanation that the NAF had offered and they particularly demanded for an investigation into what could have been the remote cause of the so called accident that could have led to the most unfortunate death of the young lady.<br />
<br />
Apparently in response to the overwhelming enquiries Air Commodore Daramola said, “Flying Officer Arotile died on July 14, 2020 (yesterday) at the age of 24, when she was inadvertently hit by the reversing vehicle of an excited former Air Force Secondary School classmate while trying to greet her.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Fg Offr T Arotile ( NAF/4512F) died today 14 Jul, 2020 at the Nigerian Air Force Base, Kaduna when a student pilot who saw her coming from Mammy market reversed his car to meet her but instead hit her down. He hit her head on a hard object and sustained head injury and bled excessively to death instantly. She is the first female helicopter pilot .</u></i></b><br />
<br />
“Before her untimely death, Flying Officer Arotile made significant and outstanding contributions to the war against terrorism, armed banditry and other forms of criminality in the country, flying several combat missions.”<br />
<br />
Earlier, the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Abubakar Sadique, described Arotile as one of NAF’s “shining young stars” who was winged in October 2019.<br />
<br />
Sadique described the deceased as, “a very intelligent, disciplined, confident & courageous young officer who added value wherever she served. As a squadron pilot in Operation GAMA AIKI in Minna, Niger State, she flew her quota of anti-banditry combat missions to ensure a safer, more secured Nigeria.<br />
<br />
“I recall meeting her at the Minna Airport, while on operational visit, after one of such missions & seeing her eagerness to contribute towards the restoration of lasting peace to the affected areas. Her death is a huge loss to @NigAirForce family & indeed the entire Nation</div>

Fahim Saleh, the 33-year-old millionaire technology entrepreneur, founder of Gokada and co-founder of Pathao was found decapitated and dismembered in his apartment in a luxury condominium building on Manhattan’s Lower East Side on Tuesday afternoon.<br />
<br />
He was said to have bought the condo for $2.25 million just only last year. The young man was a website developer turned Venture Capitalist and the CEO of the motorcycle-sharing company ‘Gokada‘ that took the storm in Lagos, Nigeria with hundreds of motorcycles, until it was shut down by the policy of the state Government under the administration of Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwoolu earlier in the year.<br />
<br />
Members of the New York Police Department (NYPD) found his mutilated body in his condo around 3:30pm (New York time) on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
An electric saw was found near his torso and his decapitated head and cutoff limbs were later found in the apartment, a Police Department spokesman said.<br />
<br />
There were several large plastic bags in the apartment, and it appeared that some effort had been made to clean up any evidence of what had happened, one law enforcement official briefed on the matter said.<br />
<br />
His sister made the gruesome discovery at around 3:30 p.m. when she went to check on him after not hearing from him for a while day, the official said. After finding the body, she called 911.<br />
<br />
The electric saw was still plugged into an electrical outlet when the police arrived, leading detectives to investigate whether the arrival of Mr. Saleh’s sister at the condo might have interrupted the killing and prompted the killer to flee through another exit, one of the law enforcement officials said.<br />
<br />
The New York Times reports that one of the law enforcement officials said a surveillance camera had captured video of Mr. Saleh in the building’s elevator with another person who was wearing a black suit and black mask.<br />
<br />
On the video, the elevator door opens and Mr. Saleh goes into the apartment, the official said. The masked person follows directly behind him, and the two immediately start to struggle, the official said.<br />
<br />
According to Dhaka Tribune, sources described the killing as an apparent targeted murder.<br />
<br />
Fahim started Gokada, the motorcycle ride-sharing company in Lagos, but the company faced setbacks and mass layoffs after Lagos banned the company in January.<br />
<br />
Two of Fahim’s friends described him as a self-made millionaire who brought tech companies into nations like Nigeria and Indonesia, an energetic person who loved gadgets and video games.</div>

<br />
A monumental tragedy has occurred!<br />
<br />
It's obviously one of the saddest & most painful news to relate to the world as just when she had just begun to make impact, just when her life's journey seem to have just begun is when "Flying Officer Tolulope Arotile", the first-ever female combat helicopter pilot in Nigeria, died. She was just the young age of 23 years at the time of her sad demise. So it's an unbearable occurrence to say the least.<br />
<br />
The terribly sad thing is that Officer Arotile died as a result of head injuries she sustained from a road traffic accident at Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Base Kaduna and not even in combat!<br />
<br />
Her painful passage came barely a year after she was winged (commissioned) as the [1st ever female combat helicopter pilot] in the Air Force following the completion of her course in South Africa.<br />
<br />
Confirming the incidence, the NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, said until her death, Flying Officer Arotile, who was commissioned into the NAF in September 2017 as a member of Nigerian Defence Academy Regular Course 64, was the first ever female combat helicopter pilot in the service.<br />
<br />
He went on: “During her short but impactful stay in the service, late Arotile, who hails from Iffe in Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State, contributed significantly to the efforts to rid the North Central States of armed bandits and other criminal elements by flying several combat missions under Operation GAMA AIKI in Minna, Niger State.<br />
<br />
“The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, on behalf of officers, airmen, airwomen and civilian staff of the NAF, commiserates with the family of late "Flying Officer Arotile" over this irreparable loss.<br />
<br />
We pray that the Almighty God grant her soul eternal rest.”</div>

<br />
Alleged international scam artist and money launderer par excellence Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, 37 who is also known to some as Ramoni Igbalode aka Hushpuppi aka Hush, a dual citizen of both Nigeria & St. Kitts & Nevis has had his bail application in the US Court denied.<br />
<br />
The lawyers had filed for his bail stating that he had very much to lose rather than to gain, if he were to abscond as he is a well loved social media celebrity. In asking for his bail to leave jail, the lawyers had stated that he could have an electronic tag on him, which would monitor his movement and also that he would be accompanied by the uncle of a woman he is said to have had a child with. Meaning that not only is he married to a US Citizen who is also a St. Kitts and Nevis Citizen (a dual citizen), he is in fact also a father too! All of the information he had kept very well hidden from everyone until now.<br />
<br />
But his prosecutors opposed the bail application, citing that he is a flight risk and also a high risk personality who could just easily commit a crime with just a smartphone and internet connection. Amongst the very many other allegations laid against the social media or better still internet celebrity, one prominent one is that he is viewed as a high level money launderer for expert hacking gangs.<br />
<br />
Responding to the application, Judge Jeffrey Gilbert denied the bail application and said that Hushpuppi should remain in jail till he is transferred to the court in California. The judge actually said in reference to his super luxurious apartment where is said to pay $10000 monthly- "You’ve got to be doing something to pay $10,000 for an apartment in Dubai'.</div>

<br />
If the Minister for Niger Delta Affairs and former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio felt that it was going to be things as usual, we are too sure he must now understand that it's not like that no more, as things have begun to escalate dramatically as more and more revelations are getting unveiled about his person.<br />
<br />
Ms. Joy Nunieh is obviously set to reveal all in the Pandora's box without a care in the world. It's like they say, all is well and good (fair) in war. It's the typical case of the wind has now blown and the bum of the hen has been exposed for all to see without a shame. Madam, former NDDC boss in her new revelations has claimed, she slapped the Honorable Minister at a time and the reason for her action is sexual harassment!<br />
<br />
Yes! The strong woman, the Ogoni lady for that matter, who Akpabio has tried to belittle by his response to certain things she claimed happened, claiming those things exposed was because she has attitude problems and that her 4 former husbands may be able to attest to the same, has hit the minister on the jugular or better still where it hurt most, by telling the whole universe that, he sexually harassed her and for trying such nonsense, she dazed him a deserved slap!<br />
<br />
She then later went on to pooh-pooh his claim about her thus-<br />
<br />
“<b><i>I am the only Ogoni woman, the only Nigerian woman to slap his face.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>“I slapped him because of his Plan B.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>“He thought since he couldn’t get me to release the money, he thought that Plan B if he could could come on me….</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>“He didn’t know that I’m a Port Harcourt girl.”</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>When asked further by the programme host, Reuben Abati, whether she was accusing Akpabio of rape or sexual harassment, Nunieh said: “Harrasment sounds better, not rape.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>“Yes, I am accusing him of sexual harassment.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>“Akpabio is most interested in my love life.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>“Did he want to be my seventh husband?</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>“That’s why Akpabio told the world that I am temperamental.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>“You know why Akpabio will tell the world that I may be temperamental?</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>“Because of that incident that I slapped him.”</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Explaining further, Nunieh added: “Akpabio’s meeting with me is either in Apo or Le Meridian or whatever.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>“I slapped him.”</i></b></div>

Ace thespian and 'Special Assistant' to the Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom State, 'Udom Emmanuel' in the person of star actress Ini Edo has retained her position in the adminstration.<br />
<br />
Maybe as a testament to her good works (advises) in her 1st term as the adviser to the Government on Tourism and Culture, the well pleased Chief Executive of the state has decided to retain/reappoint her on the job again.<br />
<br />
So the super elated and grateful 38 year old thespian par excellence, who has given at least 2 decades of her life to the industry & has, not less than a century of movies under her cap was full of praise and appreciation to God and then her boss, the Executive Governor of her State for retaining her.<br />
<br />
She took to her page to make her grateful feelings known thus-<br />
<br />
"<b><i>Grateful to God and my Boss, His excellency, Gov, Udom Emmanuel for the reappointment to serve in the tourism sector of our dear State.</i></b><br />
<b><i>I look forward to great accomplishments and milestones in this new era.</i></b><br />
<b><i>God bless Gov Udom Emmanuel. God bless the Great State of AkwaAbasibom. God bless all my brown sugar family for your constant love and support. Everything good thing will come to those who trust in the name of the Lord.”</i></b><br />
<br />
It's been a couple of great & fruitful years for Ini, who is well acknowledged by most to be one of the 5 wealthiest in her industry, with good investments in properties and more in her expanding portfolio at just 38.<br />

Seems that Jackson Ude's alleged truth or discovery, where he alleged that Kiki Osinbajo, the daughter of the serving Vice President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo is the owner of a N800 million Naira valued property, which houses her brand, is gradually falling on his face.<br />
<br />
Not only did he point accusing fingers at the VP's daughter, he also went further to claim also that the VP himself is guilty of graft to the tune of a whooping N4 billion Naira, an allegation which the VP has denied vigorously, he has also asked that the IG of Police to investigate the veracity of the claim and then bring to book those behind the alleged gross falsehood!<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, to buttress her own truth denying ownership of the N800million Naira property, where she's in fact a rent paying tenant, her landlord, a Dr. Ayuba Z. Musa has come out to claim ownership of the building in contention and refutes that Miss Osinbajo owns the property.<br />
<br />
Hear him- <br />
<br />
“<b><i>In reaction to the recent reports on social media with regards to the above mentioned property, I write to declare that I, Dr Ayuba Z Musa, am the rightful owner of the said property located at No. 40 Durban Street, Wuse 2, Abuja.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>“I have all my documents which are duly registered with the Abuja Geographic Information Systems (AGIS).</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>“I have never at any point sold or have agreed to sell my property to GLAM’D Africa, Miss Osinbajo or to any other person; this is completely false.”</i></b><br />
<br />
Like we had said in our previous article where we aired Kiki's initial reaction/denial of the allegations, we had said the onus is on the US based Jackson Ude to prove that both the VP and his adorable daughter are liars.<br />
<br />
So over to you sir......</div>

<br />
We can bet that when the former aide, in fact the director of strategy and communication to be more specific, to the former President of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Azikwe Jonathan, GCFR in the person of Mr. Jackson Ude came across what he must have considered a scoop of the century, he must have shouted alleluia & felt that wow finally, here is a speck or splash of mud, splattered on the supposed squicky clean image of the 2nd family, who loves to act like they are just overly pure and holy. So he went on a public platform to divulge what he must have considered sure fire info, saying and asking the million dollar question which now by by foresight & hindsight he should have maybe verified or fact checked appropriately first- So he went public with his question on his Twitter handle @jacksonpbn thus-<br />
<br />
“How did Kiki Osinbajo, VP Osinbajo’s daughter, earn N800million she invested in the property housing her Glam’d Africa Beauty House in Abuja on 10 Durban Street, Wuse 2. Abuja?”<br />
<br />
But the gorgeous daughter, one of the 2 gorgeous daughters of the Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo who himself is denying vehemently another allegation of graft against his person to the tune of a staggering N4b Naira, in a case that has to do with the now suspended acting boss of the EFCC, Malam Ibrahim Magu, has outrightly 'pooh-poohed' what she claims to be an absolute falsehood. She released her strong response to the world over the supposed N800m property on her IG page thus-<br />
<br />
”For me it is completely UNBELIEVABLE that a grown man will sit in his home and LIE about me, a grown man who possibly has children my age!”<br />
<br />
“Like many young women in Nigeria I work hard, It may be difficult for people like him to understand that a young woman can work hard and succeed on her own steam. ANYONE can verify the ownership of the property of Glamd Africa at Agis in Abuja. I am a tenant in that property. My landlord’s name is Mr MUSA ADAMS.”<br />
<br />
If that denial would go further, it might also come with litigation too where Mr. Ude would have to prove beyond reasonable doubts, the veracity of his claim.<br />
<br />
Kiki is the 27 year daughter of Prof. Yemi Osinbajo & Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo. She owns the beauty & cosmetic brand by the name Glamd Africa Beauty House, she's also the owner of an online brand by name shopkonyin.com and she is a well followed Instagram celebrity with 188,000 followers to the boot. </div>

What was supposed to have brought peace to Iruland with the coronation of an outsider, by this we mean someone who wasn't in the race for the stool and crown with the 2 chief protagonists in the 1st place, in the persons of Prince Hakeem Ajasa & Prince Adesegun Abiodun-Oniru, the Aremo to the late last king, who were both bent on taking the battle to each other no matter what and give it all that it deserves, has instead, raised more questions rather than the much expected straight forward answers. The peace that was envisaged from that action taken has not yet occurred.<br />
<br />
For those who might not have known, 'Oba Abdul-Wasiu Omogbolahan Lawal, Abisogun II' is actually no usurper like some may have wanted to paint, but a bonafide son of the Oniru royal family. The new Oniru's mother is an actual Oniru from the Abisogun clan of the Oniru Royal Family, who went to marry from the family of her cousins, the Ojora Royal Family. From what we even found out, the King is a Prince of the Ojora Royal Family too, him being the last son (lastborn) of the late former king of that domain, meaning the last Ojora before the one there presently. And guess what? Both the Oniru Royal Family & Ojora Royal Family are part or members of the Idejo (white cap chiefs) of Eko, so both can even run for the Oba of Lagos crown too whenever the need for such arises. <br />
<br />
The underlying & fundamental issues that were there all the while, but that were kept hidden, have now come to the surface (fore) and causing major issues. Reconciliation of the highest kind is needed and very fast too at that, to solve what is raging now and for that to work at all, [major concession] is needed on all sides and that's where the issue lies.<br />
<br />
Would the sides all battle ready to claim their piece of the spoil, be magnanimous enough to concede certain things for the sake of peace?<br />
<br />
So okay let's treat some of the things that have come up. It is so obvious that all the other members of the royal family are on one side together against the Abioduns. For those who might not be conversant with who the Abioduns are, they are the family of the immediate last king of the domain-'Oba Idowu Abiodun-Oniru', a good man from all counts and that of the royal father before him, 'Oba Yesufu Abiodun-Oniru', who is also the immediate father of the late last king, Oba Idowu Abiodun-Oniru. The Oniru that is added to their name was adopted by them, it doesn't mean they are more Oniru than the others, as it's actually the general/extended family name for everyone, them inclusive. So Hakeem Ajasa could also have been, Prince Hakeem Ajasa-Oniru if he had so wanted, just like others too could have added it to their other names. There are 3 divisions in the general Oniru Royal Family.<br />
<br />
Apart from the accusations or should we say allegations of gross arrogance raised against the Abiodun-Onirus, where the other members of the vast Oniru Royal Family felt/feels that they were all about themselves alone and thought all other members of the extended family members were nobodies and miscreants, who should be grateful to them for all what their fathers achieved and make happen for their domain.<br />
<br />
The other issue, which is also of major concern at that, is that the Abiodun-Onirus over the years are said to have actually systematically sold all the prime lands that belongs to the general Oniru Royal family in Iruland. Not only were they accused of selling all such prime lands, they are also accused of keeping the returns (money) accrued from such sales to themselves alone. Like they are just the only persons in the vast family, that makes up the general Oniru Royal Family alone.<br />
<br />
The anger of the others is that what should have been for all, has been cornered by just a macrocosm. And then also again, the investments via partnership that should also belong to all- Oniru Royal Family as a whole, are being run by just a few and the returns from such, kept only by that few too. One of such investments is the massive school 'British International School' in Oniru estate.<br />
<br />
For those who might not actually know, Iruland is made up of the whole of Victoria Island and more and also the whole of the Eko Atlantic City, which is actually about the exact same size as Victoria Island itself. The word city should have even passed the message across. Iruland actually starts from CMS and extends to where the Elegushi is now, meaning that even the Elegushi was under the authority of the Oniru then.<br />
<br />
Most of their land was acquired then by the Federal Government (Military Government under Gowon) many years back then. The Grandfather of the Abiodun-Oniru clan then called Baba Oloye, meaning the 13th Oniru then 'Oba Yesufu Abiodun-Oniru' who ruled for 50 long years, actually took the Government to court then and actually won, they were then compensated we believe by the Gowon government or latter to the tune of £2million Pounds. While Oba Yesufu Abiodun-Oniru reigned as the Oniru for 50 long years, his son Oba Idowu Abiodun-Oniru who took over from him, reigned after him for 25 years, making a total of 75 long years for just one out of the 3 divisions.<br />
<br />
Back to now though, from what we learnt, while Prince Demola Abiodun-Oniru, one of the very well known millionaire sons of the late last king was in charge of the money making Oniru Beach stretch, which on a normal week rakes in tens of millions of Naira, Prince Tijani Abiodun-Oniru, his immediate brother, the one who had an altercation with another Prince of the Oniru clan very recently, which led to fisticuffs, is the boss of a multi-million Naira valued real estate(s) located on the vast family land, cleaning out fantastically from what we heard. So by all intent and purpose, he is a multi-millionaire many times over, without any doubt. Their eldest sibling, the former Aremo, is an undoubted very big-boy by all standards, close friends of the many well-heeled and powerful. He is very well connected and apart from him being a former top Government official for so many years- Commissioner under the Babatunde Raji Fashola adminstration, the UK trained engineer, is a super wealthy and highly industrious businessman, who helped in very many ways to add great value to the family's wealth. He actually owns a massive property in the Oniru domain.<br />
<br />
These 3 mentioned here, are only just a few of the super well to do, Abiodun-Oniru clan. And there are many others.<br />
<br />
So all the while that their grandpa and later their dad were on the throne for 75 years in total, the others not having the required connection, the wherewithal, the resources to compete, just kept their peace in their limbo. It wasn't like some of the other extended family members didn't try to mount some form of resistance at one point, but it wasn't to any avail. It was one of such resistance way back that allowed for the 10 years interregnum between when the late Oba Yesufu Abiodun-Oniru passed on at a ripe old age of above 100 and when his son was officially coronated to take over from him.<br />
<br />
So when the late last king Oba Idowu Abiodun-Oniru passed on last year, in 2019 to be more precise, it was the opportunity for the opposition members of the vast family to come together this time around, to form the much needed resistance against the continuation of the Abiodun-Oniru clan only on the throne of their fathers. While many had thought that the then Aremo, Prince Adesegun Abiodun-Oniru would just easily take over from his father, the extended family had other thoughts instead, even as Prince Adesegun was eminently qualified to take over, so they rallied aggressively and massively behind the opposition- 'Prince Hakeem Ajasa', who was believed to also be well connected too, just like his cousin. Apart from being a top aide for several years too to 2 very influencial members of the ruling party- the APC in the person's of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola & Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, he also seem to possess the necessary pedigree too, to ascend the throne, if he was considered for it.<br />
<br />
So hence began the war late last year till early this year. It was a battle royale, a big jostling to say the least that we wrote about here, with many intrigues involved from both sides. Both sides did everything possible to get one over each other. Good money was spent to sway those they thought to have the powers to make things happen. Influence was peddled widely and more.<br />
<br />
But alas, in a most surprising move, the powers that be decided against any of the 2 most prominent princes and instead, picked the then Prince Abdul-Wasiu Omogbolahan Lawal, who wasn't at all in the count before in the contest to become the 15th Oniru of Iruland. Everything about his choice was quick fire and to the point, he was announced surprisingly and then in just a few days after, he was crowned with much urgency and given the staff of office, in a move done and packaged to shut all mouth up and move forward.<br />
<br />
While the choice shocked everyone to stupor, some have since welcomed it with joy and elation and some haven't at all and that's where the trouble is brewing from. From what we hear though not fully confirmed, it seems like 'Prince Hakeem Ajasa', the other major contestant to the stool has since accepted his fate and may have moved on and is already on the side of the newly installed King. Meaning like, if I can't get it, then let another neutral get it then. While it is thought to not be like so with the Abiodun-Onirus! From even what we found out, the then prince now king had given his backing already before to the candidacy of Prince Hakeem Ajasa and so it was a major shock to the system for him too, when Lawal was announced as the king designate!<br />
<br />
Part of the issue that's raising the much dusts now is that, since a new Oniru has finally come on the throne, firstly, he wants to assert himself, assert his authority as king over his domain. He doesn't want to be seen as just a king by mouth only or even a stooge. He wants to also correct many of the perceived anomalies/injustices of the many years past, whereby only one tiny part of the extended family apparently brazenly appropriated everything-land, properties & money for themselves all alone, like there were no other family members available.<br />
<br />
But the other part maybe is of the opinion that, if we have been magnanimous alone to have conceeded the crown and throne to you, so then for all other things, let status quo must be maintained. Meaning, the actions of the past must be left as it were (let sleeping dogs lie) and the future should then take care of itself. This is what is the underlying contention and the much maligned larger percentage of the extended family wants fairness and equity to reign and they want it now and are unwilling to back down after all these years! The palace on her own wants to know the state of things. They want to know what belongs to the family as a whole and the value of such, hence the need for proper enumeration and accountability.<br />
<br />
Would this be possible?<br />
<br />
Would the palace be allowed to ascertain things?<br />
<br />
Who is afraid of accountability?<br />
<br />
Do the property owners in Oniru favour scrutiny or not? If not then, what are they then afraid of ?<br />
<br />
So who would be the first to concede? Who would back down and allow for peace?<br />
<br />
We heard that after Prince Tijani Oniru was mobbed by the palace officials in retaliation for his attack 1st on one of the palace officials who were on the palace official errand, he and his brothers and very many of their supporters with Policemen in tow, had stormed the palace to protest the treatment meted out to TJ, a white cap chief in the domain and also to make their minds known to the king, who fortunately they didn't meet. It took the grace of God though for mayhem not to occur, as both sides were willing to declare war and were unwilling to back down. In the aftermath of the whole mess, both sides have been spending money via articles and counters to air their views and sides of things online and in the papers. It's obvious things are simmering and a wrong move by any side, can just escalate matters and before we know it, maybe bloodshed and damages to properties can occur.<br />
<br />
The peace of Oniru Estate is on thin ice as it is right now!<br />
<br />
Again what is this claim again that some people are Egun or from Togo and not actually members of the family? It seems that in war, everything can be used to fight, even outright lies. </div>

<br />
World record claiming international scammer extraordinaire Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, 37 aka Hushpuppi aka Hush aka Gucci Billionaire Master, born October 11, 1982, a Nigerian but resident in Dubai, the UAE, the very good friend and partner of Olalekan Jacob Ponle, 29, aka Mr. Woodbery aka Mark Kain and the former best friend of Mompha, the BDC king of Dubai, has been confirmed to be a citizen of St. Kitts & Nevis by marriage which was even contracted in Nigeria since 2018.<br />
<br />
A clarification came from the CEO of the Citizenship by Investment Unit, Government of St. Kitts & Nevis, a Mr. Lee Khan in the light of the unverified speculation that maybe Hushpuppi bought the passport and citizenship by investment.<br />
<br />
Hushpuppi's wife a Shawarna Nakesia Chapman, actually holds a dual citizenship of both St. Kitts & Nevis and the United States of America.<br />
<br />
What time the above actually mean is that, Ramon could have later become a US citizen by marriage, if and when the wife files for him, ingenious!<br />
<br />
Read Mr. Lee Khan's statement below-<br />
<br />
<b><i>The Government of St. Kitts and Nevis has become aware of reports and rumours concerning the Federation's citizenship of a Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, allegedly a person of interests to the United States FBI.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>We note that the Nigerian born Mr. Abbas, 37, was granted a St. Kitts and Nevis passport in February 2020 by virtue of his marriage to Shawana Nakesia Chapman, 32, a citizen of St. Kitts and Nevis by birth and the United States of America. Ms. Chapman, a resident of North Carolina, USA, married Mr. Abbas in Nigeria in October 2018, thereby conferring him with the right to St. Kitts and Nevis Citizenship.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Any suggestion that the citizenship was obtained through means other than marriage- such as the country's citizenship by Investment program, which includes rigorous background checks- is Therefore utterly false and willfully misleading.</i></b><br />

<br />
Getting citizenship by investment in the island country starts from $150,000 the citizenship allows for visa free entry to 154 countries of the world. And one can get dual citizenship and 2nd passport in just 3 months.<br />
<br />
St. Kitts and Nevis is an island nation of 50000 plus people as at the count in 2018. It is tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and Carribean Sea. Their official language is English and most of the citizens are actually of African descent. They got their independence in 1983 and have a 98% literacy rate. </div>
