How Becker lost £100m investments in Nigeria

Boris Becker Boris Becker may have lost his £100m fortune in part because of questionable investments in the Nigerian oil industry, according to claims in the German press. Since the 49-year-old former tennis star was declared bankrupt in a London court last month, speculation has been rife over how he managed to squander a personal fortune estimated at over £100m. Now Germany’s Spiegel magazine has published claims that Becker’s business dealings went far deeper than celebrity endorsements and media appearances. According to Telegraph.co.uk, the  magazine claims he made investments in the Nigerian oil and gas industry, and at one point considered a single investment of more than $10m (£7.6m). It also alleges he had extensive links outside the world of tennis that ranged from African leaders to Laxmi Mittal...

Fayose floats presidential campaign

The Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has abandoned his desire to seek re-election in 2018. In its place, he has launched his presidential campaign on Facebook. Fayose had initially said he would approach the Supreme Court to determine his eligibility to run again for the office of governor of his state because of his inability to complete his first term in office. READ: I’d have burnt my PDP card if Sheriff had won – Fayose The governor, whose impeachment then had been declared null and void by the Supreme Court, had said there was need to finish his first four years in office. Fayose, who is the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum, was one of the two governors in the party who spoke vehemently against the continued stay in office of the former National Chairman of the party, Ali Modu Sheriff. Ironically, the governor was also among the few governors who brought the former governor of Borno State to the ...

Taming Badoo cultists

Many things are happening in Nigeria, simultaneously. Perhaps, one of the disturbing is the high rate of crime and criminality. When a nation is enmeshed under such circumstances, attaining development becomes a nightmare. That is the more reason why concerted efforts should be made to see how the ravaging and deadly attacks by the Badoo cult group in Lagos are put under tight control in the interest of all. A litany of unpleasant cases have been ascribed to the cult group that are too numerous to mention. However, it would suffice to mention a few of them, although many of the attacks were either said to be unreported or under-reported. The Badoo ritualists were said to have first been heard of in 2016, when suspected members of the gang struck at the Oke-Ota community; allegedly raping and eventually killing a Ghanaian lady before returning to Ibeshe, where its members attacked a 60-year-old woman and dastardly blinded her daughter. Not only that, another horrific ...

Image
July 17 (UPI) -- A New York state man captured video of his dog swimming out into the Long Island Sound to drag a struggling baby deer to safety. Mark Freeley said he was walking Sunday morning with his golden retriever, Storm, and his other dog, Sara, when Storm ran out into the water and started swimming toward something. Freeley's video, posted to YouTube, shows Storm drag a deer fawn that had been struggling to swim back to shore. "Storm just plunged into the water and started swimming out to the fawn, grabbed it by the neck, and started swimming to shore," Freeley told CBS New York . Freeley said Storm plopped down next to the baby deer once they reached shore. "And then he started nudging it, and started pulling it to make sure she was gonna be OK I guess," Freeley said. Freeley called in rescuers and waited with the fawn on the beach, but he said the deer ran back into the wate...

Nigerians ‘ll Change APC In 2019 — AHMED MAKARFI

…Speaks on agitations for Biafra and Arewa Youths’ quit notice to Igbos. …Makarfi spoke before the Supreme Court ruled him authentic chairman of PDP. In this Interview with Ben Agande in Kaduna, former governor of Kaduna state and one of the leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Ahmed Makarfi speaks on the face off between the senate and the executive arms of government, the quit notice given by Arewa youths that Igbos should leave the north and his assessment of the performance of the APC government. What is your reaction to the recent trends in the country especially with the threat of secession by the south east and the quit notice issued by Northern youths to the Igbos living in the north to leave by October this year? There are all kinds of agitations in the country. I think we will not be doing justice to the entire situation when we will bring it to the threat of the Indigenous People of Biafra and the Arewa youths. Even before then there had been agitat...
