Our attention has been drawn to publications making rounds in the media with claims that a Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the freezing of bank accounts belonging to Rainoil Limited.

 

This disclaimer is to publicly state that the news does not represent true facts as it concerns Rainoil Limited.

 

Rainoil Limited is not indebted to The Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) and as such has not had any of its bank accounts frozen. The company also does not have bad debts with any bank.

 

Members of the public are therefore advised to disregard the news as Rainoil Limited is not a party to the suit filed by AMCON at the Federal High Court, Lagos.

 

Rainoil Limited continues to remain a law abiding and fully compliant organization, offering value to its numerous stakeholders and contributing to the growth and development of our nation, Nigeria

 

We are aware of recent reports in the media citing a probe by the House Committee on Pensions

on the alleged mismanagement of pension assets in which AIICO Pension and our Managing

Director, Mr. Eguarekhide Longe were mentioned.

We would like to clearly state that we have always enjoyed a cordial relationship with the

legislative arm of Government and routinely, in the past when we have had cause to be invited to

interactive sessions such as the one cited in the media reports, we have always honored the

invitations.

On this occasion, in spite of the short notice, our Managing Director intended to honor this

invitation in person. However, shortly before he was expected to travel to Abuja, he realized he

wasn’t feeling too well, and given the strict travel protocols occasioned by the Corona virus disease

he thought it wise to stay back and have our Regional Manager resident in Abuja, Mr. Temitope

Ajogbeje, attend in his stead. Because of the impromptu circumstance surrounding his inability to

travel, there was no time in which to formally inform the Committee of his inability to attend.

As requested in the invitation letter received from the Committee, we ensured that all documents

requested by the committee were submitted. The documents requested were – our annual reports

and audited accounts for 2017 – 2020, evidence of remittance of pension contributions to our

pension fund custodian, list of our shareholders, minutes of our Annual General Meetings,

evidence of maintaining a statutory reserve fund and lastly our monthly reports on fraud, forgery

and theft to the National Pension Commission (which were nil for the reporting periods

requested).

Contrary to the reports in the media, there are no allegations of mismanagement of pension assets

levelled against AIICO Pension and we use this opportunity to reiterate our transparent

commitment to uphold our fiduciary responsibility to our account holders at all times.

READ STATEMENT HERE

A few years ago, the celebrity world appeared, for the most part, to be a clear cut phenomenon. In it existed Hollywood’s stars, the music industry’s finest, and sports leading stars – the faces that were, at least when they appeared on screen or in our magazines, somehow intangibly different to us.

Recent years, however, have seen a remarkable shift, and a notable re-write to our pre-existing definition of what it means to be a celebrity.

This shift first began around a decade ago, when YouTube underwent a transformation from a video archive to something far more immediate. From makeup artists to fitness gurus, celebrity status has been awarded to an incredibly wide variety of home-based content creators who offer something far more relatable, homespun and spontaneous than linear television or cinema ever could.

This, coupled with the rise of social media – and, of course, the individuals who rose to stardom simply by virtue of this platform – meant that ‘celebrity’ gradually became something far more attainable, relatable, and authentic.

The internet continued its evolution, however, and the past few years have seen its emphasis turn on the world of gaming. From online gameplay to live streams, the gaming world has begun to give rise to new celebrities, and to offer a novel platform for those who have, until now, made their fortune via more traditional channels.

Read more below.

Gaming Pros

The gaming industry enjoys a unique position within the entertainment sector. On the one hand, the complex, creative narratives and immersive experience it facilitates ensure that it poses an indomitable rival to the world of film, TV and literature; on the other hand, the high level of skill, practice, concentration and adeptness it demands from the very best players mean that it can take advantage of the buzz that surrounds professional sports.

Take, for instance, the popular online poker site GGPoker, which has created a home for some of the most influential and widely recognised poker players the world has ever seen. These celebrities facilitate observation and excitement from fans of the genre, as well as inspiring them to join in.

Similarly, in the world of team-based online games – most notably, perhaps, the online battle arena League of Legends – the competitive nature of the game gives rise to vertiginous leader boards and, with it, a new wave of players able to achieve a celebrity status not unlike that of the sporting world.

In the same vein, even when no human to human competition is involved, players can enjoy taking a break from their own progress and merely sitting and observing the professionals as they work their magic. It is for this reason that streaming sites like Twitch have grown so popular over the years – gamers with the stage presence, charisma, and skill to present their own ‘sport’ to the world can make their millions – both in terms of fans, and money – doing so.

Twitch and the Stand-Up Comedian

It may, then, begin to seem as though the gaming world has created a niche – though, admittedly, large – platform through which the most skilled and compelling players can rise to a celebrity status.  However, it needn’t feel so clear cut. On the contrary, it could be perceived that the online celebrities are now, for the most part, leading the way forward, and that those who utilise traditional channels may stand to benefit from adapting their approach.

Over the past few months, Twitch has seen an influx of already well-established stand-up comedians make their way onto the platform, and extend their existing celebrity status into the world of live streaming.

In this way, gaming has become an extension of their act. By bonding with fans over a shared interest in a gaming title – for instance, in the case of comedian Bilal Zafar, Pro Evolution Soccer – they can utilise their skills on off-the-cuff, spontaneous soliloquising and comedy skits in a setting that has, perhaps, grown more favourable among viewers in recent years.

Thus, as the world of online gaming continues to transform the ways in which we interact with – and create – celebrity culture, so too can the original breed of celebrities transform themselves, and embrace a new type of existence within online popular culture.

The unsavoury incidents being sponsored by some unscrupulous actors involving the former Governor of Imo State, Sen. Rochas Okorocha in recent times show a hint at some parties’ thought who see him as a threat to their supposed caliphate. Indeed, it has proven right the Elders’ words which postulate that ‘uneasy lies the head that wears the crown’.

However, the Sage’s head still feels uneasy despite leaving office.

Does that still mean Okorocha wears the crown, holds the ace or the nitwits are scared of losing their hegemony to who God has chosen to make Imo prosper again?

This unwarranted battle began after the current Administration was sworn in on 15th January, 2020. It was a public knowledge that the Sage was a constant emotional backup when Uzodinma was struggling for his mandate after the 9th March, 2019 governorship election. Okorocha was among the foremost political figures to congratulate him when he finally triumphed at the Supreme Court. It is now bemusing that this same Governor is having no one to pick as a foe apart from Rochas Okorocha, the man who has been in his shoes and can offer him Fatherly counsel considering how well he fared after occupying the seat for eight years.

Prior to this, there have been silent battles fought underneath but the latest showed how low the current administration’s moral has sunk. In my part of the world, the prince does not fight like slaves. You can’t be at the helms of affair and still be ‘terrorising’ your subjects. As a child of necessity, Imolites expect more lease of life from Uzodinma than the current drama that is playing out.

Sen. Rochas Okorocha went to Royal Spring Palm Hotel in the company of his two sons-in-law on 19th February after Governor Hope Uzodinma illegally sealed the hotel.

His intent was simply to inquire the reason behind the sealing and take due protocol as a law-abiding, serving Senator of Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Unfortunately, some officials saw no need for peace as they led a pool of miscreants and abused public office by using the state’s police for their personal gain. The gadgets and equipment necessary for the smooth running of the Resorts were all carted away by the opposing forces. They also attacked Okorocha and his crew violently without provocation

As at now, Uzo Anwuka, one of Okorocha’s sons-in-law is currently receiving treatment after being shot at on the spot where the sponsored violence took place while Okorocha, a serving Senator representing Imo West is currently apprehended, detained and was only released on the order of the Presidency. Just wondering, if the hired thugs had murdered the distinguished senator in the process of that needless fracas, what would have happened?

Prior to this, Okorocha has silently suffered series of blackmail and name-calling along with destruction of properties belonging to him and his family. This hostility is not unconnected to the influence which he can pull in the state when the 2023 Presidential election come knocking.

However, a threat to life is totally uncalled for as Okorocha’s Camp can never engage in do-or-die politics. Destroying the legacy you have built with your sweat is not an option in modern democracy.

It must be mentioned that armed thugs attacked Okorocha’s residence at Akachi three days before he went to the sealed hotel belonging to his wife, Nneoma Rochas in Owerri.

It should further be stated here that before this ugly incident, the demolition of the hospital complex belonging to the Okorocha’s family had sent many Imolites to the unemployment market and this is quite disheartening in view of the current state of the nation’s economy.

Irrespective of what anyone may think, it is highly condemnable that a former Governor and sitting Senator could be treated this way by those who see political power as the beginning and end of life.

It is therefore important to call on the general public and Mr. President to ensure the safety of all citizens and curb the abuse of office. The safety of Okorocha is very crucial to political stability of Imo State and any further attack will be regarded as a deliberate assassination attempt upon which proper actions will be taken.

By Gabriel Ogbechie

My attention has been drawn to several publications in the print and social media wherein Ned Nwoko alleged that a plan to assassinate him is being sponsored by me. I also refer to a recent press conference held by the same Ned Nwoko wherein he alleged that the prisoner who told him of the plan to assassinate him has mysteriously died. He also accused me of being responsible for the death of the alleged prisoner/informant. I categorically state again that these allegations are completely false and a figment of Ned Nwoko’s infantile imagination. I have not planned nor sponsored any plot to assassinate Ned Nwoko.

In a petition to the Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, Abuja dated 12th of November 2020 and titled ‘LEAKED INFORMATION ON DANGEROUS PLANS TO ATTACK/KILL ME’ Mr. Ned Nwoko stated and I quote:

I was reliably informed by my wife, Regina Daniels who was also informed by one Wale Jana that the suspects who were arrested and remanded at the Kuje Correctional Center in connection with the murder case in my village are plotting to cause me harm and possibly kill me. From the information made available to me the evil plot is being sponsored by one Chief Gabriel Ogbechie. I came to this conclusion because according to the report sent to my wife by Wale Jana, it said an inmate in the same room with the suspects at the correctional facility who pretended to be sleeping heard them plotting to harm me. From what he heard, the sponsor of the planned attack owns a filling station and is in the business of Oil and Gas and hails from a community around. As far as I know, the only person who fits that description is one Chief Gabriel Ogbechie.

Screenshots of the purported WhatsApp messages between Regina Daniels’ informant and the random prisoner were attached to the petition.

On the 4th of December 2020, I had audience with the Commissioner of Police, FCT Command where I read the said petition and pointed out the fact that same was speculative with three layers of hearsay: The prisoner telling Wale Jana, Wale Jana telling Regina Daniels who then tells Ned Nwoko the tale of an alleged plot. Interestingly, the prisoner and/or Wale Jana never mentioned my name. The conclusion that “the only person who fits that description is one Chief Gabriel Ogbechie” is entirely that of Ned Nwoko.

The moment I stepped out of the office of the FCT Police Commissioner, Ned Nwoko and his social media trolls went into frenzy that I have been arrested for plotting to assassinate Ned Nwoko. That was false, I was NEVER arrested. I have it on good authority that in his bid to rub my name further in the mud, Ned Nwoko allegedly placed a frantic call to a member of staff of a popular television channel, asking him to carry the fake news of my arrest as breaking news. Abiding by the ethics of his profession, the gentleman refused despite being offered a blank cheque to propagate this evil on my person.

Regardless, the FCT Police Command thoroughly investigated the case. They visited the prisons, interviewed the actors and they reached the conclusion that the petition was spurious and frivolous. Suddenly, the Police Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID Abuja) asked that the case be transferred to them.

My lawyers wrote a petition to the Inspector General of Police on the 22nd of December 2020 requesting that his office take over the case to thoroughly investigate it.

The IGP Monitoring Team invited Ned Nwoko for questioning. He was asked to produce the prisoner who told him and Regina Daniels of the plot to kill him. Ned Nwoko suddenly declared that the prisoner who told him/Regina Daniel of the plot is one Ossy Biose and that he was released from prison and died soon afterwards! How? When? Ned Nwoko had no answers to any of the questions. When the IGP Monitoring Unit asked him to provide details of the family of the alleged deceased, he declined!

As soon as Ned Nwoko stepped out of the Police Office, his social media trolls went wild with the news that the prisoner who told him that there was a plan to kill him has died mysteriously and that I am being fingered as the likely suspect.

The alleged prisoner, named Ossy Biose, is known only to Ned Nwoko and Regina Daniels. At his press conference, Ned Nwoko mentions that he knows the prisoner’s family and also provided explicit details of Ossy Biose’s sojourn to prison. This leads me to believe that he had a pre-existing relationship with him. Only Ned Nwoko knows the cause of death and he is the only one in a position to explain why the person known only to him and his wife suddenly passed.

The name Ossy Biose, the now allegedly deceased prisoner was only mentioned for the first time by Ned Nwoko at the IGP’s office when he was asked to substantiate his allegation and as at this time, Ossy Biose was already deceased, according to Ned Nwoko. Pray tell: how can someone be responsible for the death of someone whose name was only mentioned after he was dead and whose identity Ned Nwoko still refuses to disclose to the Police?

Frankly, the truth of Ned Nwoko’s allegations is that they are all a work of fiction, a poor movie script that has reached its end.

Also, Ned Nwoko in his petition stated that the prisoner shared the same room at Kuje Correctional Facility with two boys from Idumuje Ugboko. This puts the location of the alleged plot squarely at Kuje Correctional Facility. Quite to the contrary, the two prisoners from Idumuje-Ugboko who are in prison on account of Ned Nwoko are NOT in Kuje Correctional Facility. They are, infact, held at Suleja Correctional Facility, fifty-two kilometers away from Kuje Correctional Facility. They were arraigned on the 26th of August 2020 and the Judge ordered that they be remanded in Kuje Correctional Facility. However, due to the COVID 19 pandemic, they were remanded in Suleja Correctional Facility since the 26th of August 2020 and have remained there till date. These are the people that Ned Nwoko, in his hallucinatory state, accuses of conspiracy to assassinate him and who are allegedly being sponsored by an oil magnate.

In writing his work of fiction, Ned Nwoko could not do his simple due diligence to even ascertain the location of the two people who are in prison on his account and he is now maligning my integrity and reputation.

In the alleged WhatsApp exchange attached to the petition, one of the prisoners from Idumuje-Ugboko was mentioned as Cheta and the exchange stated that Ned Nwoko put them in prison. I do not know Cheta, neither have I met nor interacted with him. My preliminary checks revealed the full names of the said prisoners to be Cheta Okolo and Onyisi Esuzor. They are both members of the Vigilante Group in the village. In the course of their duty, they accosted a miscreant vandalizing street lights in the village. The person so accosted turned out to be Ned Nwoko’s acolyte in the village. At the behest of Ned Nwoko, Cheta Okolo and Onyisi Esuzor were promptly arrested and arraigned before the courts in Delta State for ATTEMPTED MURDER. The courts discharged and acquitted them as no case was established against them. Dissatisfied, men from FCID Abuja came all the way to Idumuje-Ugboko, arrested these boys on the 30th of July 2020 and locked them up for three weeks at the FCID. On the 26th of August 2020, they were arraigned before a judge in Abuja, this time charged with TERRORISM! They have been in Suleja Prison for five months now and counting. This is all on account of Ned Nwoko, according to the WhatsApp message exchange between Regina Daniels and her informant.

Ned Nwoko and I are from the same community, Idumuje Ugboko, Aniocha North Local Government Area, Delta State. Ned Nwoko desires 100 hectares of land to build a University in the community, a noble gesture by all means. The King and Ned Nwoko, who are first cousins, have differing opinion on how best to acquire the land needed for the University. Sometime in 2017, I had an extensive meeting with Ned Nwoko in his house in Abuja and I appealed to him to allow peace to reign in the community. I spelt out what I believed was a clear road map for him to acquire the 100 hectares of land he needs to build his University. Ned Nwoko wants 100 hectares of land, contiguous to his existing 33 hectares of land on which he built his private residence. Part of the 100 hectares of land belongs to the Community but most of it are owned by private individuals. The King simply requests that Ned Nwoko follows due process; put in an application for the land, pay the token that is due to the community and gets the land. With regards the land that belongs to private individuals, he was advised to engage the owners of the land and take the necessary legal steps to acquire it. However, Ned Nwoko wants none of it, he believes he is above the laws of the community and is not ready to conform to simple dictates of communal living.

I am in support of the University. The King is in support of the University. The community is happy to host the University. The King, His Royal Highness Obi Chukwunonso Nwoko who ascended the throne about four years ago desires his Staff of Office. Ned Nwoko has used every subterfuge in the book to ensure the King does not get his staff of office. To no avail, I have appealed to Ned Nwoko on numerous occasions to follow due process in the acquisition of his desired portion of land and to also allow the newly installed King be presented his staff of Office.

In the last four years alone:

a. The King, His Royal Highness Obi Chukwunonso Nwoko, who is currently 70 years old has been accused of killing his father, the immediate past King who died at the ripe old age of 91 years.

b. The King and twelve other members of the community have been accused and charged to a court in Abuja on account of terrorism.

c. Policemen, at the behest of Ned Nwoko, have invaded the Palace in the dead of the night, picked up the King like a common criminal and locked him up in Asaba. It took the intervention of the Government of Delta State to get the King out of the needless harassment.

d. Two members of the community were accused of murder of someone known only to Ned Nwoko. Despite their strident denial they were locked up and charged to court. They spent three years in prison before the courts threw out the case for lack of evidence. Regardless three years of their lives have been lost.

e. Three members of the community are currently held at Suleja Prison on account of Ned Nwoko on an alleged charge of terrorism.

f. In the past two years, more than 8 members of the community have spent time at prisons in Abuja and some up to 14 months on account of alleged terrorism

Idumuje Ugboko, a small agrarian and peaceful community on the fringes of Delta State has been dragged into the national and public space by Ned Nwoko all for the wrong reasons. He has accused indigenes of terrorism or murder and is now hallucinating over a purported plan to assassinate him.

Having observed with revulsion, the great lengths Ned has gone to launch a heinous smear campaign against me, I am now completely doubtless that Ned Nwoko is very much capable of strategically executing plans and actions to bring about a desired result. I have severally engaged and admonished him to use his wealth to facilitate the economic progress of the bright minds in our community. Once again, I urge him to channel his talents to bring about an amicable end to the ongoing community conflict instead of waging a campaign of oppression. Hapless members of the community have been dragged before judges in Abuja and given very stringent bail conditions; some asked to bring sureties with assets of fifty million naira and above including houses in Abuja. This is way beyond what a lot of them can fathom or afford, so they simply rot in prison in Abuja. I have seen poor village women, most of them farmers, donate as little as five hundred naira into the pool of funds to raise the millions of naira needed to bail their children from jail in Abuja on account of Ned Nwoko. Despite the fact that I have no relationship with most of the oppressed and accused persons, I have provided the much-needed assistance for bail as much as I can. I have also made provisions for first-rate legal representation for the King and some of the accused persons.

Ned Nwoko has severally asked me to stop supporting the King as he believes my intervention prevents him from having his unrestrained way in the community. All these attacks and fabricated falsehoods against my person are to scare me into allowing him continue his harassment and intimidation of poor and defenseless members of our Community. This is wrong!

I have tried severally to reach out to him to arrange a forum of dialogue to resolve whatever he believes is conflict between us. He has evaded and sabotaged every single attempt I have made. Instead, he keeps fabricating and weaving a web of lies around me. I understand his family is in the show business and it is necessary they remain in the news to maintain the smokescreen of media hype. However, I urge him to keep me out of his social media antics and refrain from using my name as content. I simply have no desire to be a part of the fictitious drama borne out of the figment of his colorful imagination.

My lawyers have written to Ned Nwoko demanding a retraction, apology and payment of damages for the scurrilous statements and publications made by him and very soon, he would have his day in Court.

I shall continue to take legal steps to protect my hard earned reputation and integrity. Ned Nwoko is not above the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Driven by the mission to provide opportunities for young and aspiring African students, i-Scholar Initiative (iSI), a charitable organization registered in the USA, which is completely run by volunteers, continues to set the pace in empowering scholars to fulfil their dreams to pursue their graduate studies in renowned universities around the world.

According to the President of the Initiative, Victor Ogunmola, a career professional in the Oil & Gas Upstream Industry, said, “i-Scholar Initiative (iSI) was inspired by a product of life experience and a passion to build an innovative and solution driven society.” He noted that the Initiative enjoys an unwavering support from the most dedicated and selfless management team and partners who remain committed to investing their time, energy, intellect, experience, finance and more to provide the needed uplift for the iSI scholars.

The organization which boasts of high-profile Board of Trustees (BoT) chaired by Mrs. Tolulope Ewherido is strategically positioned as the go-to organization for building a younger and self-driven generation for leadership, innovation and overall development in Africa.

Mrs Ewherido, a global leader in the Oil & Gas Upstream Industry, expressed, “I started with iSI as a financial partner. Like most people who have had opportunities like I have to be a global leader, you look back and you want to be part of creating that opportunity for others. When I was asked to lead the BoT, I was honored to constitute a team that can complement the passion, dedication and excellence already within iSI’s culture, so we are now in a position to leverage our currency as a BoT to amplify iSI to even greater impact.”

According to iSI, many of the beneficiaries under the scholarship programme are currently in various fully funded graduate programs in USA and around the world, while others are at different stages of their admission process. Eligible scholars who are being sponsored, are not just selected randomly, they are critically assessed based on key metrics of academic records and financial needs.

As i-Scholar Initiative continues to broaden the opportunities for more prospective scholars, some of the i-Scholars who are current recipients of the passion-driven scholarship programme, have testified to the organization’s commitment towards helping them secure fully funded scholarships in world-class foreign universities. This has purposefully positioned them on a sustainable career path as leaders and changemakers in the society.

Oluwadara Olasupo, a Chemistry Graduate of University of Ibadan studying PhD in Chemistry at Florida State University, USA, said “i-Scholar Initiative in simple words is a home that made my dreams and hopes come alive. While the Initiative has set my feet in a land of vast opportunities, it has also redefined and fine-tuned my perspective towards giving back to the society by helping others to grow.”

Gerald Ogbonna who is at Cornell University studying PhD in Systems Engineering, said, “I am thankful to the pioneers of this great Initiative, the financial support and mentorship helped me secure several admissions and funding in the USA.”

Esther Oyedele, a Geophysics Graduate from the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO) who is currently at Bowling Green State University, USA studying MS Geology, said, “i-Scholar Initiative has been a lamp to my academic path; from the standardized tests funding to mentorship to career guidance and moral support.”

Similarly Cyril Pepple, a Petroleum Engineering Graduate from University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) who is currently doing his MSc at Imperial College London, said, “iSI’s influence on my journey so far has been tremendous. The mentorship and network iSI provides is priceless, and I am privileged to be amongst these awesome individuals.”

Patience William, a beneficiary studying at Oklahoma State University, said “I am truly grateful for the i-Scholar Initiative scholarship support. This scholarship allowed me to work less, focus on my studies and receive additional graduate funding opportunities. Your generosity has inspired me to help others and give back to the community. Thank you again for your contribution and for seeing the potential in students like me.”

Another beneficiary, Victor Fakeye who is also at Oklahoma State University, USA, said, “Covering the cost of my standardized tests was a launchpad to my aspiration for a graduate school career in the USA. The quality mentorship, the regular checkups, the timely motivation, just to mention a few, are golden. I am forever grateful for all. Forever grateful.”

Babatunde Obadawo, a Chemistry Graduate from Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba (AAUA) Ondo  studying PhD Chemistry at University of Toledo, USA, said, “It is highly worthy of note that on my path to success, God has used i-Scholar Initiative to fast track my journey.”

A Geology Graduate of Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), Victor Obi, who is currently studying MS Geology at Kent State University, USA, said, “iSI has been very Instrumental throughout the process and was very helpful in paying for my standardized tests which qualified me to apply to schools.”

Another graduate from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Solomon Adelowo who is studying MSc in Sustainable Aquaculture at University of Stirling, UK, said, “i-Scholar Initiative serves as a giant that aided my journey positively. I have greatly benefited from the gift of mentors and fellow passionate scholars. i-Scholar Initiative gave me the motivation needed to make my scholarship dream a reality.”

Also, David Nworie, a Geology Graduate from Ebonyi State University (EBSU) who is a current MSc Geology student at the University of Campinas, Sao Paulo, Brazil, said, “Timely and tremendous impact. I cannot thank iSI enough for illuminating the path and providing the needed resource for the needed examinations. iSI remains an important part of my journey”

In addition to the full funding that covers selected scholars’ standardized tests, i-Scholar Initiative, through its network of partners and volunteers, also provides a strategic end-to-end mentorship to ensure that they have seamless experiences in achieving their ultimate goals.

“We make a deliberate and strategic investment in our scholars towards achieving their career and community development goals.” Mr Ogunmola added.

Till date, the current cumulative dollar value of scholarships that have been awarded to i-Scholars by their various universities stands at over Two Million USD (over $2 Million), thanks to the organization’s initial investments in mentorship and funding the scholars’ standardized tests.

According to her BoT Chair, Mrs. Ewherido, “i-Scholar Initiative is an organization with high integrity and a clear vision to create the next generation of leaders on the African continent via access to world class education.” She identified the cardinal plans and prospects of i-Scholar Initiative as, to grow impact via more scholarships, continue focus on end-to-end mentoring to assure positive outcomes for scholars, broaden reach to cover all of Nigeria and Africa and to do all these, there is a dire need to access more funding by expanding the Initiative’s private and corporate donor base. The organization, therefore, seeks for more partners and volunteers to join its mission.

It actually sounds like a joke because its unheard of, that something like this can actually work and rake in millions in a month but it actually does and you are sure of at least $300 daily.

All we need in life is to be informed and once you are, you have access to unhindered information’s that will turn 1 dollar into 10,000 dollars in less than 30days and that is why we have come to the rescue.

 Look if you have a job or you are a student or you own a business or you are even jobless and you think that an additional and consistent $8500 – $18500 monthly will make a great difference in your life, then join us on this journey to wealth. Funny enough it will only require 3 minutes of your time daily (just to log in, insert your code, and then log out).

The sport trading industry is the key needed to unlock our potential wealth. Any investment that is sport inclusive is a good one and you will never go wrong.

Some winning tickets.

If you look at the above table. you will notice that in just one day 20,000 naira raked in over 40,000 naira, and 150,000 naira raked in almost a million and those who staked 50,000 naira won over 100,000 naira and as much as 500,000 naira, those who staked 100,000 naira won over 200,000 naira and those who staked 500,000 naira won over a million naira and those who staked 5 million won over 10 million naira, I know of a guy who does not stake less than a million naira for every stake, for the purpose of some of us who are struggling, lets us stick to between 20,000 and 50,000 naira daily (about $100) .

If you must profit from this then you have to leave doubt behind and believe that this is what you need to make it financially, as you do not need to work or stress your brain putting games together.  We will put it together daily for you, all we need to give you is the booking code, which you just have to log into your account and insert it, this will not take more that 3 or 4 minutes of your time every day. So tell me, wont you be happy to spend 3 or 4 minutes daily to get at least $8,500 monthly? For the purpose of making money and being able to cash out even at the middle of the game, I will advise you register with sporty bet – sportybet

I spent over 2 years researching on how to breakeven in this trade, i invested over $75,000 just to take risks and trying different sources, while i was searching for the genuine source of getting these tips daily, even at that, the tips are still not 100% efficient but we manage to get 95%,we cannot lie to you or trick you telling you there is anything like fixed match but we can assure you that, it is impossible to bet for 31days and not win from at least 25 days. Now you do not need to go through what I went through searching for a good source, i have finally gotten the source and I have been using it with those who have already subscribed and we have been winning, I will not waste my time and your time splashing different games won and the money I withdrew so that it won’t look like I am intimidating anyone, likewise will I not waste your time splashing my different holiday destinations and how much I spent, we are here for business and I do go straight to business. Again I don’t want to make this webpage rough otherwise; I would have plastered it with screenshots left, right and center. 

Once you get used to this, I can assure you that you will resign from your present job just to stay at home and play your games, taking home at least $2,500 monthly, if you are a business man, you will want to work from home so that you can have ample time to relax as that is the spirit that comes along with making money. I personally have never worked for anybody in my whole life because  I am always online making money, even more than my would be employer. We will all key into a daily betting system called

The Over 1.5 goals  

ACCUMULATOR Rollover System

Yes on a daily basis we receive about 7 – 8 games from our source which they know will score at least 3 -4 goals and we pick about 2 -3 games, book them to score just 2 -3 goals and stake high. If the teams sent to us are teams that we know are good in scoring, we can then book 2 separate games same day, having one as a backup.

Lets do a little calculation here so that you see what i am talking about.

Say you spend $100 playing games daily for 31days, which will give you

$100 x 31 =$3100,

say you loose 25% of the days (8 days), so lets say you loose

$100 x 8 -$800,

it means that you still won in

$3100 -$800= $2300

$2300 x 2 odds =$4600

We multiplied by 2 odds which is the least number because the games we will give you daily will be 2 odds and above, so your profit will now be

$4600 – $100 (starting capital) =$4500 (at least).

Note that if you stake the next day with your winning amount then your profit for the month will be far above $4500, it will be between $7000 and $109000.

It means that when a month is bad, you will still get a profit of $4500 dollars, if you bet with $100,for those who bet with as much as $1000 dollars, your profit will be about $45,000 when a month is bad. Mind you it is just the first $100 you need to start with, because from day 2,you can decide to keep your profit and re-stake with your capital. Again as stated above, you can decide to make higher profit daily by re-staking the next day with your capital and profit, the choice is entirely yours.

For example

If you stake in day one with $100 and you win $100 x 2 odds =$200, in day 2 instead of staking $100  again, you can decide to stake the entire $200 making $200 x 2 odds = $400 or keep $50 profit and stake $150 dollars profit making $150 x 2 odds =$300,then in day 3 you stake $400 x 2 odds = $800 dollars, you can see that before the end of the month, you must have made over 100,000 dollars in profit, the higher the risk, the more profit you make.

Please do not get me wrong, any option in betting is good but most are risky, but over 1.5 goals have proven to be the most consistent and profitable of all the betting options. It might sound easy to you, thinking you can just go online and  pick and team to score over 1.5 goals without seeking the professionals like us, when you do that, it is then you will realize  that same teams with very little odds which you think will score 8 goals, might not even score 1 goal, but if you know the right team that will score 2 goals, you will notice that even in first half they score the over 1.5 and you bank your money immediately, once any of the teams score a goal, the second team with try to equalize while the same team that scored earlier will also be trying to score a second goal to keep there in charge, while they are both trying to do this, your account balance swells.

I ordinarily will love to disclose my source but will not disclose this source for the safety of you and i. People can go to them and pay them huge money to stop operating if they realize how powerful our approach is and knowing our source. This source is 100% trustworthy!  but i will give them 95% because i believe that 100% is only for God.

 

THE APPROACH

 WE WILL USE TO

MAKE THE MONEY

  HERE

If you want to join us on this journey to make money, i will suggest you put aside a starting capital of between $50 and $300. If you are just joining us, use only 50% on the first day and if you stake on day 1 and win then you can use all money won for day 2, if we win on day 2, we shall use all money won for day 3 and if we win on day 3 we shall use all money won for day 4. Then you keep your profit aside and start again with half of your initial capital which is between $50 and $300, you do another 4 days and save then start again. you can decide to keep going on and on but use your discretion to keep aside a part of the winning, so that you can always have tangible profit.

I have made it easier for everyone to participate, you might think you do not need it because you are not a soccer fan or because you can do it on your own but it will pay you to roll with us.

There are lots of lessons to derive from participating in the game of sports, casino online (playing or even watching).

We can learn different things from various forms of sports that are very important and can influence our life in diverse ways.

Consistent Improvement

Learning how to improve ahead of each game even when you are losing can give you victory over the so-called best team in competitions.

Leicester football in the English Premiership league suddenly became a club to reckon with by the reason of the consistent improvement.

Applying this into the business world helps you to know that there are competitions and even if it seems you are losing, don’t give up, work hard and improve on yourself to attain victory.

Emotional Control

Playing golf could help you learn how to control your emotions, thoughts and body. It appears to be simple in theory, but one of the toughest games around.

It requires patients and self-control that many at times are needed for success in business and life.

Timing

Sports like surfing for instance teaches us how to time the cycle of waves. And in real life, as an investor, you need this kind of intuitive sense to know when to enter a market and, more importantly, when to get out.

Teamwork

From the sport of rowing, one can learn the importance of precision teamwork. Rowing is a painful sport and its challenge is that during a race, most of the stored energy is burned up in the first few minutes.

For the boat to win, it is very important that each member of the team give his all, with precision, even when exhausted. If one person should think about letting up, the chances are that his oar will collide with another oar (paddle) and the race will be lost.

Therefore, as a team aiming to achieve a goal, we must be precise and be ready to encourage one another to succeed.

Responsibilities

In football, it is very important that each team member not only knows his assignment, but more importantly, carry out his assignment accordingly and with discipline.

We also learn the importance of getting along with people, ordinarily, we might like but we give them respect for their abilities rather than their personalities.

In the business world, everyone on board has an important role to play and must be given due recognition and support to succeed.

Rugby like Basketball is a game of tackling, blocking opponents from crossing the line with the ball or netting the ball in the basket.

In rugby, the play rarely stops and players are expected to keep running for most of the game. Regardless of how tired you are, you just need to keep running in support of the play and team.

Your full collaboration with others and untried efforts will go a long way to set the business on the right track.

Inner Power

Back in the days, I used to participate in relay race competitions and whenever we came victorious in the game, my question was “How did we manage to defeat other big contenders?

Later on in life, I realize there lies an inner power in us that flows through our body propelling us to do great, provided we train the body.

Winning Spirit

It is sometimes frustrating to keep being a benchwarmer in the game of football but a bench warmer is expected not to quit, fight for the position by taking himself to a new level of constant practices, focused and winning desire.

Therefore, for you to change your results, you must be ready to redefine who you are and up your commitment to whatever you want to achieve.

In conclusion, to become outstanding in a particular area in life, we must learn to practice with concentration and focus.

Practice is our chance to work on weaknesses and get better.

And we must practice consistently by striving to exceed our own expectations.

In the modern world, businesses in Nigeria depend on technology. They want to hire employees that have a good knowledge of computer software and that know how to operate technology to their advantage. In particular, businesses want people that understand coding languages, how to troubleshoot and know a variety of word processing software. This means that individuals have to work on developing their skills and build experience from a young age.

Here are some ways you can do this in Nigeria.

Take an Online Course

The great thing about learning is that there are plenty of opportunities available for you. In particular, you can take an online course in order to build your knowledge about computers and modern technology. There are free online courses, as well as paid ones. You can access them from home on your computer and you can learn at a time that suits you. This is a good idea if you are already working full time or you have other commitments. You can learn around your schedule and build your resume for a future job. In particular, there are courses about programming languages, web development and software.

Play Games and Surf the Web

The more time you spend on the computer, the more you are going to learn about using it. A lot of people learn better by carrying out tasks rather than reading about them. Therefore, if you want to build up your computer skills, it is time to explore and see what is out there. For instance, you can practice researching using the internet. In addition, do not forget that you can have fun and learn at the same time. You can play games, such as online poker or using a PA sportsbook. All of these tasks are allowing you to become more familiar with the computer and what it can do.

Build Your Social Media Presence

The main idea of social media is to keep in contact with friends and family. You can say whatever you want and upload photos and videos. Social media is available on a variety of platforms and it is a good way to have fun. But businesses are also recognizing that social media is a great way to build an online presence, market to new customers and make sales. If you have a lot of following on social media and you can demonstrate your knowledge, this can be appealing for a business. So, get on your favorite platform and see what traction you can make.

Start a Blog

Again, businesses realize that blogs are an amazing way to market and connect with their audience. If you already have a blog and you can demonstrate you know how to make people read your content, this is going to be appealing to an employer. Therefore, start your own blog and try to grow your audience. In the meantime, this can be a fun way to share your opinions and feelings, as well as connect with like-minded people.
