@ScFidelis To think it was Nigeria’s Number One bank in the 1980s and 1990s. So much so it’s MD, Paul Ogwuma, was moved to become the CBN Gov in the early 1990s. I don’t even think a “shadow” remains. Same for Daily Times, the press behemoth of the past. Exist on paper, but nothing to show
@SirJarus A natural human reaction. Nigerian, American, British; white; black; oriental etc. It’s normal to want to relate with a “similar” person when you are far from home
@Osi_Suave Happened to me in UK. My Naija bank card was “swallowed” by ATM machine in Bham and I never got it back. Instruction was to contact my bank. Is it a global rule? I don’t know. But I’d be surprised if it’s not.
@henrywinter I’ve read your write-ups for 25 years. This has to be the most disappointing piece from you. Guess you were due one. Cos this makes no sense. I know you’ve never liked him as Utd captain. But writing a hit piece on him on a final day is just gutter stuff. You are better than this
@Nigeriangod_ The husband was later extradited to SA, tried and acquitted in 2014. It turned out the men who killed the wife lied against him so they could get minimal punishment. The 3 men were convicted of murder and perjury. Pls correct or complete your story to include this important fact
@DrJoeAbah@WBG_Nigeria Those numbers seem in tandem with the “Olimpotic meristemasis budget” of Cross River State under Gov Ayade. At best, overly optimistic. At worse, delusional. While it’s great to aim high, there was no need to be unrealistic. Better to under-promise and over-deliver.
@SirJarus 2 years ago, UK schools were filled with Nigerians. Tinubu’s policies and the UK’s new policy of denying dependants the right to tag along with their student spouses severely cut short the numbers trooping into UK schools.
@it_Rutie@FabrizioRomano@isabelapagliari There was a player who played and won the World Cup with Brazil in 1958 and, 4 years later, played for Italy at the 1962 World Cup. He was known as Mazzola in Brazil and Jose Altafini in Italy.
@theairbuser@SirJarus Either he has sold it or he meant a house where he lives. Cos his house (Dangote House, Maitama) was formerly the British High Commission in Abuja.
@Femi_OfMainland Lagos is a victim of its own success. The improvements it makes are generally wiped out by the influx of people from failed/failing States.
@SirJarus My Yahoo and Hotmail are at least 25 years old. Late 1999/early 2000. Had Netscape mail from 1999 too but they later folded up during the https://t.co/zZKJj2KnNC burst. Opened Gmail when it became available in 2005 and it’s been my No1 since then.
