Gov. Alex Oti of Abia State at Work

 

Governor Alex Oti of Abia State, since he resumed office May 29th his hands and his  team has been on deck. 

This is what the Excellence pan down on his  Twitter page 4th August. 

I met with a delegation of the Central Bank of Nigeria Umuahia branch, led by Mr. Olaoba Ayotunde, Branch Controller and Adiele Kelechi, Development Finance, along with other team members. Also present was the Abia State chapter Chairman of National Association of Small and Medium Enterprises (NASME), Mr. Eze Linus Okezie.

They highlighted the need for improved collaboration between the Abia State Government and the Central Bank of Nigeria to ensure effective utilization of development finance resources.

The discussions bordered on the problems they had encountered in the past, noting that the synergy and requisite structures were not in place to access some of the CBN facilities. They applauded the government for creating an intervention department with a focal person to relate with. Some of the interventions from the CBN that had not been accessed included the SME village, Autonomous Poultry Programme, among others.

We are going to be weighing in on some of the problems they highlighted, mainly recoveries, collateralisation, and ensuring that the programmes impact positively on the grassroots. We have structured a plan to assist in recovery, looking at the peer pressure advantage in the cooperative model. Cooperative is the core plank of our administration's driver for SMEs and other empowerment programmes. We also have a Special Adviser in charge of cooperatives.

I look forward to a closer and more robust interface with the CBN.

George Weah To ECOWAS leaders

According to a Twitter user @Bethel_Anun quoted Liberia President, George Weah as saying, “As long as ECOWAS continues to allow fraudulent declaration of election result and intermittent manipulation of justice, and judiciary, there will always be military coup in Africa.” It will be practically impossible to condemn military dictatorship without first condemning institutional coups and manipulation, he had noted. Concerning democracy in Africa, he maintained that democratic institutions have been subjected to different levels of threats by desperate politicians without any intervention from ECOWAS.

He said the authority of states and governments in the West African region should fight for the interest of mass. And any time there's manipulation in the judicial system, they should also talk in the defense of the African citizens; by so doing, politicians will be devoid from engaging in institutional coups and mismanagement of public funds, thereby preventing military intervention.

Recall that ECOWAS has placed breathtaking economic sanctions on the Niger Republic for a successfully planned coup d'etat that ousted President Mohammed Bazoum from office. They also maintained that if the coupist failed to reverse their actions within 7 days, there would be a military inversion. Quoting George Wear well, he advised African leaders to fight injustices surrounding political institutions in the region and allow corrupt politicians to gain access to elective office through election rigging, voter apathy, mass poverty, and vote buying during polls.

Samuel Eto’o Escape jail From His Daughter

 

Samuel Eto’o, former FC Barcelona striker has reached an agreement with his daughter Erika do Rosario Nieves to pay 90,000 euros to avoid being jail

 

The former Inter Milan striker had a relationship with Erika’s mother Do Rosario during his time as part of Real Madrid football players in the 90s.

Samuel Eto’o met Rosario at a nightclub in Madrid in 1998 and she got pregnant the same year after an affair with the legendary Cameroon frontman, giving birth to Erika in 1999.

Since then Eto’o has neglected child support until the 24-year-old filed a court case against the Cameroon FA President.

Samuel Eto’o was declared to be the father of Erika by a Spanish court in 2022 following the former Real Madrid player’s preliminary refusal to approve her as his daughter.

This happened after Erika’s mother, Adileusa do Rosario, sued Eto’o in 2018.

The 42-year-old was ordered by the magistrate to pay up the arrears of €1,400 per month in child support as her financial status is not credible which he ignored for a long time.

Lawyer Fernando Osuna claims that Erika’s father, Samuel Eto’o, has not paid her monthly allowance for the past five years and that he now owes her about €90,000.

Meanwhile, Erika wanted the former Chelsea superstar in prison and demanded a 21-month jail sentence for the three times UEFA Champions League winner.
