My thought was disapproved when I picked up my phone after Subh prayer on Saturday to see some messages. I opened the first which was a picture message and it was a leaked query letter from the Kogi state ministry of local government and chieftaincy affairs to His Royal Majesty Alhaji Ado Ibrahim, the Ohinoyi Of Ebiraland and the Chairman of Kogi state traditional council. The letter to the Ohinoyi signed by a Director at the ministry said: “In a flagrant disregard to the persons and high offices of the President and Governor, you BLUNTLY REFUSED TO COME OUT (the emphasis is mine) to receive the President at the designated venue rightly approved by the Executive Governor of the State". The Director continued that protocol demands that when a President visits a state, top government officials, in...

How can a man expect the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland HRM Dr Ado Ibrahim who's palace was under attack few hours before the arrival of the president Muhamadu Buhari to left the incident of the bomb explosion to welcome the president, how do some people think? The explosion that claimed the lives of three person and properties is enough to bereaved by the King that even after a week of the incident he is not expected to attend any social gathering of whatsoever, and it is the same state government who tried to hide the explosion because they believe the live and the properties of the people they govern does not mean anything to them, just because after seven years they eventually invited Mr president for a project commission. Isn't that a shame? Logically without any forms of debate, if we believe that life exist before and after our reign in offi...

They have a valid legal document backing their acquisition. At least the 90%. And have actually invested billions into it. It is not justice to just wake up one day and claim it is yours when the agreement is in black and white.  The best bet is for the State government to seek to know what happened to their 10% and reclaim it back and then go for the income meant for it from the 10%. That is going to run into hundreds of billions. High stake moves...higher stake politics. Anything is possible. Even GYB got his price...his personal price.  That is a story for another day. Today? I am concerned about Dangote. Our Dangote. Their Dangote. The Evils that Men do leaves with them Dangote exploiting Nigerian The Obajana Cement Company is one of Dangote's golden goose. It is...

The factory was to later become the largest cement asset in Dangote Cement, Nigeria’s largest listed manufacturing company. Now the Kogi state Government is levelling serious allegations of impropriety against the company even going further to shut down the company’s locations in Kogi State. The Bull is fighting back. The Kogi State House of Assembly claims that based on a recent investigation, no valid acquisition took place for the Obajana Cement Company. They premised this allegation on the fact that the state was not paid for its holdings in the company neither has it received any dividends for its 10% equity ...
