StOla:
E sweet me die.

But our Aston Villa embarrassment might be our undoing this season.

Saka is tired.

Martinelli must remain on the bench as Trossard is miles ahead of him. 2 games now and he cannot finish the matches with goals that should have been if it was Trossard.

Martinelli should play Saka wing

EreluRoz:
Yes, I don't want stress for my asiwaju's re-election, we need to start conquering more states especially the south south region.

I will say it again asiwaju will transform Nigeria, he just needs little time to correct the mess he met on ground from Jonathan and Buhari's istration.

Ighodalo is funny.he was sterling bank chairman yet could not attract a branch to the whole esan land

EreluRoz:
I wish our party APC can win Edo state, we need more state to conquer. Nigeria shall be great again.

Yes oh

*How Asue Ighodalo Mismanaged Nigeria Breweries PLC in Eight Months as Chairman*

By Hon. Henshaw Oligbi.

Political analysts and ers of Barr. Asue Ighodalo, the PDP Governorship flag bearer in Edo State has so much discussed his tenure as former Chairman of Nigeria Breweries PLC. This necessitated the review of Asue's leadership of the said company.

You can recall that Mr. Kolawole Jomade announced his resignation from the Company Board Chairmanship during a board meeting on April 26, 2023, with effect from April 30, 2023. Following his departure, Barr. Asue Ighodalo was appointed the Chairman of the thriving Brewery company on the 1st of May 2023. However, he resigned on the 31 Dec. 2023, precisely eight months after assuming the role as Board Chairman.

Under Asue Ighodalo's 8-month leadership, prices of Nigeria Breweries' products were increased thrice at such a geometric rate as well as the bloated overhead cost of the company.

In retrospect, Nigeria Breweries is known for prudent cost management, profit-making and dividend payment to shareholders, this is evident in the 2022 N17.341b Profit Before Tax and N13.187b Profit After Tax made by the company under the Chairmanship of Kolawole Jomade.

The former Chairman, Mr Kolawole had also set the company on a solid path to improve on his successive achievements over the years but chose to bow out of the position owing to unnecessary Board Room pressure from Asue Ighodalo’s greedy ambition in the Company.

The new sheriff in town, Mr Asue Ighodalo barely settled down as Chairman when he approved a One-off re-organizational cost, incurred an increased 15% cost of sales, a 5% increase in marketing and distribution, and istrative expenses which led to a 15% decline in Operating profit.

The Audited Financial Statement and Annual Report 2023 of Nigeria Breweries PLC unveiled a mismanaged and damaged company that was once reputable and outstanding, under the inexperienced and inefficient leadership of Barr. Asue Ighodalo.

In the year 2023, Asue Ighodalo's leadership in Nigeria Breweries under review, could neither break even in business nor break new grounds but rather experienced a historical and monumental loss of N145.2b Loss Before Tax and N106.3b Loss After Tax.

This historical loss in the history of Nigeria Breweries under poor leadership made the company retained a N26.2b loss and unable to pay dividends in 2024 and possibly in 2025.

Barr. Asue Ighodalo's corporate leadership failure in Nigeria Breweries PLC and in desperation to save his face in the world of corporate governance led to the introduction of policies that would gradually cannibalise the production capacity of Nigeria Breweries and reduce the once enviable production company to a mere products importation and marketing company. He approved the exclusive right to import Heineken, Beverages, wines, spirits and cedar brands from South Africa and a license to market and distribute all the products in Nigeria. This singular move will turn Nigeria Breweries PLC with nine different brands of products into an agent of a foreign (South African) Company, place further pressure on FX, reduce production (GDP) in Nigeria and create unemployment as the production line for those nine brands will be gradually closed down over time.

Politically speaking, it is illogical for Edolites to hand over the dear state to a man who ran a company like Nigeria Breweries PLC with success stories aground under eight months.

It is evident from the above that Asue Ighodalo is unfit and lacks the necessary requisite management skills to drive a system to success. As he destroyed Nigeria Breweries - a once reputable profit-making company in eight months, there is also a high tendency that Asue Ighodalo will further destroy our dear State if given four years as a Governor.

Cc donphilopus I know say you dey abj

donphilopus:


Oshiomhole couldn't have imposed Denco. They would have met and agreed on his choice. Campaign hasn't started yet. POI is fully with Monday.

Yes pastor was fully with Monday as the godfather and party leader.he was at the forefront in of monday.he suggested hon ihama and Samson osagie but immediately denco was chosen,he has been silent.osgio imposed denco because okpebholo camp already settled for ihama before ganduje forced denco on him.i heard campaign starts today

Naira20:
If na APC, he is anathema.
No be only Monday Okpebholo na Saturday Okpebelo

Up apc

donphilopus:


I doubt. He was with POI before the primaries. Since POI withdrew from the race for Sen. Monday, I believe he'll also be with Monday. But I dunno. I haven't confirmed.

POI has been silent since oshiomhole imposed denco

mrvitalis:
APC fundamentally don't know anything about economic development... Corruption apart

Sentiment aside let's look at this

You budget $1.2 billion of borrowed money to rail way that can't break even or pay back it's loan

Budget 250 billion for Lagos Ibadan

Spend over 300 billion on niger bridge

Abuja Kaduna rail that cost 20 times what it makes was done for $1 billion

But you allocate 75 billion ($75 millionsl)for SMEs
50 billion for nano business ( we know corruption would eat 50% ) ($50m)

They you all act surprise GDP is dropping?


For a $300 billion dollar economy are this people joking or what

APC doesn't understand the basic principles of economic development for a developing economy they don't

They just want to build feel good project , commission it n brag about it... Worse still they allocate such projects based on tribal and religious sentiments

The entire economic people or entire people in APC are poor economists while the few ones in lp and obi team are genius? How do you reason sir

donphilopus:
They're even praying that God willing, Yahaya Bello will become President of Nigeria someday. Lol.

Another thing I noticed, they believe Igala people are behind Bello's predicament. They're praying that God should destroy any Ebira person teaming up with Igala people to embarrass Yahaya Bello.

Funnily enough, they didn't get a dime from the 80.2b naira allegedly looted by Yahaya Bello yet they're there embarrassing themselves.

Nonsense.!

I hope senator is not with obaseki

IfnobeGod20:

In Yoruba parlance it is a common saying that oju to ma bani kale, kin taro wapin. True to ourselves, this government had not show any sign that they are going into heavy production. They only rely on Dangote for survival. How would a country put her destiny in the hand of a sole proprietor? Only Nigeria. It makes no sense at all.
I have applied the common sense, this is almost a year and those in government has not shown a pint of sense that they are going into production to help the economy. Patching the process won't help at all. If we like, we should continue in the same ways we were before, we will still get the same results.
Aside the governor of Niger state that has shown sign of going into production, the rest are sleeping, including the presidency.
My brother, these people are not ready to do the needful, they are sleeping and snoring and we expect wonders from them. This is no rocket science o.

Sorry how else do you want them to go into production apart from investing heavily in agriculture,restricting imports and encouraging local production through for dangote,bua,innoson,Allen onyema giving financial grants to thousands of local businesses

Cc mrvitalis

IfnobeGod20:
No more naira to defend it again. When we told them that their approach to defending naira is not sustainable, they abused us and told us we are the enemies of the country. As the months goes by we will truly know are the enemies of the country between us and them.
We will continue to advise them on what to do, it is left to them to heed to our advise or not. They should go into heavy production of goods and services, especially agriculture and technology. Our goods must be exported to prove out worth and not this try and error approach they are doing. Lagos is not Nigeria. It is a different ball game all together. Lagos have all the resources of this world to survive, even if you put the dullest of this world to ister the state. Just as Prof. Pat Utomi said, you don't require a person with two heads to govern Lagos and that is just the gospel truth but their hailers doesn't want to hear that. Good luck to them. We pray for the survival of our country and the economy revamp in no distance time and may God grant them the foresight to do the right thing quickly before they put the whole nation into avoidable crisis.

Mr man,going into heavy production is not a tea party or something done within days but take years na.apply common sense.even obi couldn't turn anambra into a production hub.it is a long term project.but while you gradually turn to production,you must in the short term use some drastic measures just as the cbn is doing until you are ready to produce and export massively.please apply common sense

AKzee:
Apology no longer required. She has been expelled. We have been following the matter from this angle. Everybody should now rest.

Are you sure she was expelled? That would be nice

IfnobeGod20:

Still go and do more confirmation or investigation about that and if it were so, the government should have bounced on him or they can still do that now because it is a case against the government, if true.
However, we read of a story of a man who is a drug baron because narcotic money was traced to his . He was also docked by antigraft agency at CCT while we know Peter Obi as a trader and a businessman that have managed three flourishing banks and chains of businesses.

Oga,there are so many corrupt people that govt hasn't gone after.is atiku not corrupt,are there after him?

edogu:

He wasn't rejected by the majority. Certain Nigerian factors worked against him.
For instance, if not for manipulation of results by Wike, he would have won River state by landslide.

He would still have lost to Tinubu

Pharmmaqp:


You dey underate team wey done with 5 trophies in 6 seasons.. even so, they have a good record of maintaining winning streak especially in the last 8 games of the season... dey play.. just focus on winning your games..

I am not underrating them but I know their weaknesses and teams that can beat them.spurs will take points off them.they already did at etihad

Bacteria8:

Which transactional politics
But Obi moving from APGA to PDP to LP and now charting his way back to PDP is not transactional abi
sule !!!

Leave the hypocrite

Nchenches:


Hope Uzodinma is believed to be inching to hand over to Sam Anyanwu. Uzodinma's boys led by Rex Anunobi from Nkwerre in Orlu zone, have been hiding under one useless organisation of Orlu zone to tackle Captain Iheanacho who wants to challenge Uzodinma's candidates in 2027. Iheanacho is most likely to be a formidable challenger of Uzodinma's power plans in 2027.
Every election in Imo state, crooks from Orlu zone gather under one Orlu zone association or the other to ask for from Orlu wu eze. When they get power, they return to the state capital where they live, do all govt development in the capital territory where they scramble for lands, acquire lands in the most rural areas in Owerri zone, use federal allocations of the 27 LGAs to build roads unto the lands they bought. Rest of Imo state outside the capital territory stink with no modern development infrastructures.
These mafia groups misusing the name of Orlu zone to gain power are on land speculations in the capital territory. They started the business when they served Ohakim govt. They are also steering Uzodinma's govt .
They are steering Uzodinma to hand over to a person they can manipulate after Uzodinma.

Sam anyanwu cannot be manipulated

Angelfrost:


The thing is... Whatever Arsenal can do to any team, Man City is more than likely to do better.

Losing to Villa was the worst mistake they have made all season.

Yes but I am 200% sure that city will not beat spurs.their major mistake was losing back to back to Fulham and west ham utd

ghostcenturion:
I just wish there was video then when Mercy slapped me for not turning on FAN for her.
That was an annoying day for a girl in ss3 to slap jss3 boy in calabar.

I took that pain in, tried to save face and her boyfreind who was in the hostel with me then also slapped me for talking back.

I did what i could do and served my revenge cold to the boyfreind instead.

He made a mistake of sending me water during their graduation,
i fetched it, urinated inside and took it to the bathroom.

Done

You are just like me,retaliating silently and I am a howadian

Eriokanmi:
Bully here bully there , yen,yen,yen.

Our society is so rotten now. In my time a senior would ask me to go and pick my cutlass, he would take me to an open field and measure up to 100m portion for me to cut every morning before assembly. They would flog us with cane. You dare not report them

Nowadays, we keep sparing the rod and spoiling the child. The so-called bullying nowadays were a commonplace in those days. They only made us become a much stronger generation. In many schools,.you dare not beat a student nowadays. Nonsense! In the first time I toasted a girl as an SS2 student...heeey, my senior caught us, punished me like kilodee. He said, so you want to end your career at sec schl abi? You want to end up in a village with her after integrating her? I can't forget that day. The fear made me to not have time for girls till I gained ission, graduated and went for my nysc before I knew what's called gf. The punishment really shaped me up.

In 2016 @ Day waterman college where each student pays up to 5.3m naira per session, a student approached his teacher openly and wooed her, even promising to give her triple what the shool was paying her if she could allow him sleep with her. What bullying could be worse than that from a student to his teacher ? Yet, they couldn't do anything about it cos once the student reports to his parents that they're punishing him, they'd withdraw him and the school wouldn't want to lose money so they just ignored that.

Who born that student in our time? Na to flog am openly for assembly ground and call his parents to take him away. That would be his end in that school and it's environs. Today, the reverse is the case. I imagine what the next generation would look like.

Oga,this one is different na.this is pure wickedness and bullying from classmates na

Niom:
Arsenal una try ooo

Show small love sir.up arsenal...
3 1 0 2 9 7 9 5 7 1 first bank

wiseone28:
My hope is now on Tottenham and Woman united to stop this Arsenal

But city must be stopped

Angelfrost:


They are far stronger than Spurs and United... They just need to stay focused and maintain this defensive discipline.

They can win all their remaining games.

Only problem is, Man City has an outstanding game, and winning all their remaining games means they top the league yet again.

I am very sure spurs will take points from city but can arsenal win spurs is the problem

Treasure17:

Paste your Aza cause of this

And me too

MichaelSokoto:

nobody wants to hear anything APC in Edo!

Garri is #3300 paint rubber
Fuel almost #700
Tinz are terrible

put in your place once and for all

fergie001:

Are you in Imo State?

I was there over one year from Jan - Dec last year, they hated Hope yet he won 27/27... The way Hope runs his election, nobody comes close.

Nobody is even interested in Guber elections sef.

I suspect hope will hand over to chavon son

MichaelSokoto:

u lie to urself!

where does ur saviour emilokan stand in scheme of tinz?

Oga, okpebholo will perform sir since he has no godfather.supooer him

Svoboda:


Yes. But i love apga. Its a very progressive party and not too stocky or rigid like obi.

If they are progressive,why are they not aiming for other states? They are not thinking of expanding outside se.their peak was in 2007-2011 when they added imo state.since rochas left to APC,obi left and otti was rigged out in 2015,it has been a downward movement.funny enough,apga has presence in nasarawa,taraba,niger

fergie001:

Which pathway?
The Party is done for, worse still in a place like Imo?

The party is still formidable.imolites still despise hope and APC and many like pdp and even emeka.in 2027,it will be difficult for APC to retain imo

MichaelSokoto:

Stop lying to urself.

every damn APC state has a supreme godfather dat dey remit to ...

Well, okpebholo does not have mr.my governor in CRS doesn't have.zulum has but he is doing well, uzodinma doesn't have.niger,nasarawa,kwara,jigawa,gombe etc does not have
