When Rochas Okorocha Met His Match
You know to protect yourself as a main busybody, you go around the issues, have fun, and move away. So for this story, I will not involve myself with the details. Whether the man used public funds to acquire all those properties that the Imo State Government has been publishing or not is not my business. I don’t even think the list is exhaustive because I no see any statue on the list. Anyways, my own is to use the video that I have seen to yab the great Owelle.
Please, if you have not seen the video, go and find it and watch the great demystification of the great man who goes around with a towel around his neck. The whole thing started from ‘who are you’ uttered with the boldness and entitlement of a lord who has supervised the continuous penury of his people as a governor straight to a meek and conquered black someborri inside a Hilux truck. Laugh almost kill me. You know in Nigeria the first point of aggression is when you bark complete with spittle at an adversary, “Who do you think you are? Do you know who I am?” The recipient is expected to cringe and scuttle away. But this person, I don’t know who he is, gave back as good as he got. He shouted back at Owelle, ‘who do you think you are’, and added for weight, ‘go and get the Hilux’ then another one shouted, nobody is above the law. By this time, Owelle would have realized that his dibia had sold to him fake corona drug. The lady with him, I think they say his wife, just use style back down by that time the Owelle had been humbled.
He started walking like he had a small boil in his bottom and finally he saw himself at the back of the truck like a man they had just caught with his housemaid. The last clip I saw was the great statue builder of Africa seated on a bench in front of the station looking forlorn and most likely asking himself wetin bring am come here. I hear he was released and then he made the statement that he doesn’t think the governor will win this war and that he should not take his peaceful mien for granted. That he was lethal. By this time, I was rolling on the floor farting and shouting. Why didn’t he show his power in the station na, make we really see just how lethal he is? I like the demystification of the Owelle, and I must say at this point I stand with whatever force that will work with the people to reclaim their legacy. If this list of properties we are seeing is true and not just another part of politics being played by the incumbent, then the chicken of Imo really has a lot of questions to answer. Let’s do this.
Is anyone writing a book about women who have excelled in Nigeria’s business climate?
The book wouldn’t be complete without the mention of Princess Abiodun Folashade Odumosu, a businesswoman, socialite, and wife of Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu.
She is not your run-of-the-mill businesswoman and has remained an inspiration to many, as she has her fingers in many sectors of the economy.
The Ogun State-born, highly connected woman of means oozes style and class. She is also one of the country’s nouveau riche, with big wallets, high net-worth, and an even bigger social reputation.
The Lagos Police chief’s wife is one of the top players in the oil and gas sector, and her exciting journey would undoubtedly inspire anyone who wants to succeed in the industry.
The high-flying business magnate is also into manufacturing and shipping. She got her shipping licence in 1994 and has an office in Apapa. She also has a bag-weaving factory in Sango Ota. A source revealed that the Abeokuta, Ogun State-born princess, has other companies with hundreds of staff on her payroll.
Odumosu has successfully etched her name in the sands of time, but she is the kind of woman who makes no noise about her success. Her Maitama and sprawling Banana Island homes are usually a mecca for those seeking favours.
Though not many people gave her any chance of survival when she started, she confronted the challenge with a resolve to succeed with the courage of a lioness.
Despite her unmatched accomplishments, sheremains humble and never makes unnecessary noise to herself. Interestingly, she has once again recorded another feat worth celebrating. She was conferred with the chieftaincy title of Yeye Akogun of Lagos.
“Yes, Princess Folashade is indeed a warrior. She has fought many battles for herself and the womenfolk, so the chieftaincy is an honour well deserved. But because of the pandemic, she can’t roll out the drums to celebrate it at the moment,” a source added.
