"Whenever I remember that Monday Okoebholo won Asue Ighodalo and Olumide Akpata to become the Governor of Edo State, I kneel down and weep.
Asue Ighodalo and Olumide Akpata are two of the top 20 lawyers in Nigeria, if not top ten.
Distinguished themselves in academics, legal practice and business.
Asue co-founded Banwo and Ighodalo while Olumide helped build Templars with his cousin Oghogho Akpata.
For context,
Banwo and Ighodalo handled Dangote Refinery’s IPO and also the private placement. Deals worth billions of dollars.
Templars once won a $2.5 Billion case.
These law firms print tens of millions of dollars annually in earnings from just professional fees.
It would take a thousand Mondays to make one Olumide/Asue.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Any day could have become the Governor of Edo State. Any day but Monday. 😑
My condolences to the people of Edo." Desire Meziem
Our Chief Mouser Larry is back at Downing Street following a minor operation, and is recovering well.
He is feline much better but taking things one paw at a time.
We are grateful to the vets for their outstanding care.
Look at his attitude, the unnecessary drama, and the way he seems more interested in challenging the interviewer than explaining his own position. You can imagine this kind of behaviour from a man who should be answering simple questions about his own words.
Just answer the damn question and stop being crooked in your ways.
Pastorpreneur? Are you mad?
I dare anyone to withstand what this man has gone through. He has lost his family members over and over again, he has buried church members, community members, his life has been constantly threatened for many years, yet he stood. He's a pastorpreneur?
You are Very silly!
You cannot just make this conclusion. This is very unfair. How sure are you? There are people who have genuine medical issues. It could gave been anything. Haba!
Someone please tell me it’s normal to be deeply, deeply, affected by the death of your dog for at least a little while. It’s been three days and I’m still in the trenches. I am just so damn sad.
