WHY DID JONATHAN RETURNED CAPITAL OIL TO UBA.

The Truth is no where stranger than fiction. There
is a long trail of misappropriation behavior from
the Top to the Bottom. Ifeanyi UBA, just like
Alhaji Abdulrasheed Maina, Otumba Gbenga
Daniels, Bode George, Umaru Dikko, Ibrahim
Babangida, Femi Otedola, have proven that the
more corrupt you are the more rewarding this
enterprise called Nigeria becomes
When you have sacrificed your sense of
patriotism and conscience to feed the every
growing OAK tree of corruption, you become a
sacred cow, too sensitive to kill and yet too ugly
to look at.

Nigeria: Jubilation As AMCON Returns Ownership
of Capital Oil to Ubah

By Chuks Collins

Awka — It was all wild jubilation and excitement
all over major cities of Anambra State yesterday
when news of the return of the oil giant-Capital
Oil Group to its owner and proprietor, Dr. Patrick
Ifeanyi Ubah, was broken.
According to information made available to
journalists in Awka, the Assets Management
Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) has formally
announced the return and restoration of all rights,
privileges, management and ownership of the oil
company to Ubah with immediate effect.
A statement by Chairman of AMCON, Alhaji Aliyu
Kola Belgore and signed by the group's Head of
Communications, Strategy and Research, Kayode
Lambo, said the positive development was sequel
to "amicable settlement of all pending legal
disputes between the parties."
The statement said: "Consequent upon this
settlement, Chief Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah will be
resuming his role as the Managing Director /Chief
Executive Officer of Capital Oil and Gas Group.
"His resumption as the MD/CEO of Capital Oil/
Gas brings to an end the management of Capital
Oil/Gas by AMCON..."
While a call to Ubah was answered by one of his
aides who declined comments but politely said
that his boss was in a "crucial management
meeting" in Abuja, telephone calls to both Belgore
and Lambo rang out without any response.
In a reaction over the development, a political
icon in Anambra, Mr. Maduka Okoye, who spoke
with journalists in Awka, described it as a
welcome development, saying that no one can
manage a project that emanated from years of
sweat, hardwork and systematic planning better
than the owner/ visioner.
He pointed out that the latest move by AMCON
will allow the Capital Oil and Gas group get better
attention and positioned to take its pride of place
in the down stream sector of the industry.
Okoye said that thousands of individuals who
were relieved of their jobs because of the face-off
can now heave a big sigh of relief because of the
renewed hope of getting recalled back to the oil
company.
Also, an Onitsha-based businesswoman, Mrs.
Edith Anukwu, urged all parties to crises to
maintain a cordial relationship after a peaceful
and permanent resolution of all the pending
issues in the true spirit of patriotism and
brotherliness so that the giant oil company will
not be made to suffer again.
The young business contractor commended Ubah
who she described as a personification of a
useful industry who has become a mighty Iroko
tree that provides shades to many.
She said: "All the good people of Nigeria,
particularly the youths, are very happy for this
development because we fully appreciate the net
effect of the empowerment of a single individual
on his immediate and extended family as well as
the entire society. It is our hope and prayer that
this peace initiative would be allowed to see the
light of the day. We are indeed very happy and
words will not be enough to express our
happiness." Anukwu enthused.
An Okada rider said he was personally happy
because he now looks forward to the usual free
petrol all Capital Oil sales outlets supply to
commuter okada riders and buses.
An executive of the Independent Petroleum
Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Chief
Adeyemo Ojo, told journalists in Awka that it has
restored the trust his organisation has in the
Federal Government and her agencies as agents
of positive development.

Lion blindsided by crocodile in river escapes

Lions might be the kings of the jungle, but crocodiles rule the river. At least most of the time. That wasn’t the case in a video shared by Kruger Sightings the other day. It shows a young lion crossing a river and getting blindsided by a crocodile. A woman in the background can be heard saying, “Oh my God; oh my God,” just before the inevitable. But it has a happy ending: A happy ending for the lion, that is. The crocodile’s next meal would have to wait. The footage was captured by a tourist while standing on the H10 bridge near the Lower Sabie River in the Kruger National Park in South Africa. “All we can say is, lions should always look both [ways] before crossing the river,” Kruger Sightings said on Facebook

Obasanjo tells youths, Fight for Nigeria’s survival.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has told youths to take up the responsibility and effect the needed change in Nigeria instead of blaming the previous generations for the nation’s decay. The former President said this at the 100th-year anniversary of Ijero Baptist Church in Lagos on Sunday. Obasanjo said the generation before him fought for Nigeria’s independence while his generation fought for Nigeria’s unity during the civil war. He said the subsequent generation also fought for democracy. Obasanjo, therefore, said it was time for the next generation to make its own contribution to national development instead of complaining. He said, “Recently, a son of my friend looked at everything around him and got angry and went to meet his dad who is my age mate. He told his father that our generation is a lost one. The father did not pay him any attention so he came to meet me. “He told me what he told his father and justified it by telling me that he went...

China Ice Festival

The event is recognized as the largest of its kind in the world. The Festival officially lasts for one month, but with winter temperatures in the city averaging a bone-chilling minus 17C, many of the sculptures remain in place for considerably longer than that. The sculptures are formed either from compacted snow, or from blocks of ice which are hauled out of the nearby Songhua River. Purified water is also used, - frozen into blocks of clear ice. Many of the sculptures are illuminated to add another dimension to the displays during the long hours of darkness at this time of the year. The Festival began in 1963 but it was only held sporadically, because of the upheaval during the Cultural Revolution. It became a regular event in 1985. In 2001 the Harbin Ice Festival was merged with the Heilongjiang International Ski Festival, to become the event we know today. In 2007, a sculpture celebrating the work of a revered Canadian doctor, Norman Bethune, was recognised ...

Angelique Kidjo: speaks on state of Africa

And with Africa facing new challenges - from Ebola to extremists opposed to girls' education - she is vocal in her criticism of Western depictions of the continent. "Do you think everybody in Africa has Ebola?" she asks on Talk to Al Jazeera. "We didn't invent Ebola. It's just a disease that exists there. Like, are we going to be blamed for inventing malaria too? If there is an Ebola outbreak in the Western world, will the media in the West treat it the same way?" She also expressed her frustration with the way Western media portray Africa as a continent steeped in violence, victimhood and corruption. "A success story in Africa doesn't interest any media," she says. "They are so eager and hungry for horrible stories from Africa. Why? It looks like the West is the hyena, feeding on the misery of the African people. They should be ashamed doing this." On the topic of terrorism, she is crushing in her criticism ...

Most Nigeria popular Food

Nigeria is a blessed country. We are blessed with diverse rich culture and food. Nigerians both at home and the diaspora always love their food because of how unique and delicious it is. You are free to add to the list because this list is based on my research. Feel free to salivate.... It's allowed. RICE AND STEW This happens to be my second favourite meal funny enough. It is called Sunday food by most people because although people prepare rice and stew on a normal day, it is most commonly prepared on Sundays. The rice is boiled white and served with stew made from tomatoes and other ingredients. I did a research on how different people prepare stew and it turns out that there are different ways of making stew. But 70% of Nigerians prepare is with tomato, onion, vegetable oil/palm oil. It's definitely one of the most popular foods in Nigeria. POUNDED YAM Pounded yam is one of the most popular foods in Nigeria. What Nigerian man hates pounded yam? We don't joke with ...
