Two men remanded for ‘attempted car theft’

Two men- Sunday Ibrahim and Abdulwahab Usman- have been arraigned at a Minna Magistrates’ Court in Niger State for alleged attempt to steal a car.

The defendants, however, denied the three-count charge of criminal conspiracy, attempt to commit an offence and mischief levelled against them.

The Magistrate, Fati Auna, ordered that the defendants be remanded in prison custody and adjourned the case till today for further mention.

The prosecutor, Emmanuel Danladi, had told the court that Ogbodo Afam of Tunga Minna reported the matter at the police station on September 30.

Danladi quoted the complainant as alleging that on the same date about 5:35p.m., the accused damaged his car in the process of attempting to steal it from where he parked it at Maitumbi.

He said the offences contravened sections 97, 95 and 327 of the Penal Code.

The prosecutor prayed the court for an adjournment, as investigation into the matter was on.

VICTORIA NKONG – I love beating men in their own game

Victoria Nkong is the founder and CEO of Qtaby Events, which is involved in artistes booking management and human resource consultancy, among others. Over the years she has worked with notable music artistes like Akon, P-square, Harrysong, Orezi, Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Shaggy and Toofan from Togo. She tells Adetutu Audu what makes her tick.

What is it like being a female entrepreneur, and why did you choose to be one?

Being a female entrepreneur is both exciting and challenging at the same time. I love it each time I’m misjudged or underestimated by my male counterparts because of my sex, and I get satisfaction each time I beat their expectations by being the best at what I do and hearing the surprise in their voice each time they meet me and are like “oh are you the one?” or “oh I thought you were much bigger”.

On the sour side, it actually gets frustrating when you arrive a meeting as a female entrepreneur and the person on the other end will rather spend time teasing you and trying to flirt with you instead of talking business. However, on the brighter side, we get soft-landing and easy access on some projects, when you are dealing with a gentleman who would rather not bother a woman.

What will you say is responsible for your success?

God’s blessings have brought me this far, determination and dedication; hard work, more hard work and hard work. I have come to realise that there is no shortcut to success.

What values and principles have helped you so far?

Strict professional work ethics and standards set for my team and myself, delivery before excuses, attention to the most minute details, strict supervision for my team and ensuring customer satisfaction. I never mix work with pleasure, there’s time for everything.

Why did you go into entertainment and event management?

I would rather say that my current business chose me and not the other way round. While in the university, I was that student that would be called to handle social activities. I remember anchoring my HODs book launch and even our final year awards night where I had to change outfits each time I needed to receive my award because I was anchoring and “producing” the event at the same time.

I finished school and my first job came. It was entertainment-inclined even though my entire family wanted me to be a lawyer. I was two months into the first job when I got the call from the prestigious KORA All Africa Music Awards.

I spent my early years on earth studying so hard to please my parents who were majorly educationists and my family as a whole. So now I have decided to make the rest of my life one big holiday, hence my adventure into entertainment so that I can earn a living from having fun.

Entertainment, for me, is a passion. I am basically doing what I love to do, so it doesn’t feel like work in the end. Also, I realised early enough that there was a vacuum in the field and I had been trained to fit this field from my early days working with KORA Awards through different roles; first as a bilingual phone operator, PA to the KORA president, presenter, a Talent Manager with KORA and finally as a presenter. When I relocated back to Nigeria, I was quick to know in what areas my services would be appreciated. There’s lateness to contend with. There’s trying to make people see the vision of excellence of delivery around here; trying to make people understand that as a client. Your word is supposed to be law. It was quite hectic. In the end, I needed like nine lives to pull that event through and it wasn’t an event you wanted to also mess with because referrals came all the way from Cape Town South Africa. Also, it was like a diplomatic event. We had the Italian ambassador; we had a couple of ambassadors from the Italian embassies. That’s also difficult because we come from a place where we give you exact figures for what we need to deliver and we deliver it. But now we are at a place where the client is the one telling you to up the figures and is demanding a percentage as a kickback. There were quite a lot of challenges initially, but we’ve been able to find a middle ground.

How would you appraise the entertainment scene?

It’s big business in Nigeria, if you ask me. Aside the oil boom, the next thing that has had a serious boom in Nigeria is the entertainment; whether it is music or acting. But then again, we have people who have been in this industry for quite a while, who have not seen the need to professionalise it. So we have people still seeing entertainers as unserious people. It’s not true; we work really hard in this industry. We work twice as hard as the people in the bank, but again, we haven’t done ourselves the right service. We don’t have proper insurance, though a couple of people are trying to start that now. We have artistes whose talent have proved that they should be at an international level. They are earning money but they don’t have the right team to take them to that next level, to give them that kind of respect. They don’t have the right team to ensure that even the brands they are affiliated with get the desired privileges attached to getting an artiste and as an ambassador. There’s still a lot we need to put in place for the Nigerian entertainment industry. A lot is being made out of it, but there’s still a lot we need to put in place in terms of structuring the industry for it to run professionally and properly.

As a woman, how would you describe life behind the scene?

I think it’s a decision. My life is actually in two aspects. As an event producer, you really need to learn to stay behind the scene. If you do not learn to discipline yourself, you will get carried away and the job will not be done. So I tell everyone on my team, never try to struggle for stardom with the stars. We are supposed to be the star maker, so I try to keep it at that. You can’t come to an event and see me glamorously dressed. I do that on purpose. As an artiste manager, at times, it is also inevitable to get seen but that’s a different angle entirely. I now know how to balance keeping the star makers. It was something I learnt when I was producing KORA; suddenly, I had to deal with celebrities I had seen on TV.

Why did you sett up a foundation?

The first rule of my life is to be different. I’ve always been different from the norm. From the charity angle, I see it as an assignment I had from childhood. I grew up happy putting a smile on other people’s faces. I grew up giving my elder sister my lunch money in school and staying hungry just to ensure she’s happy. I grew up finding out that I cannot sing to save my life. I hardly have any other aspect I can handle well in church so I went on a soul searching at some point in my life to know what I could also do and it was clear to me that it was charity. So I gave myself an age deadline. I told myself that by the time I’m 25, I would love to have started something in that direction. I didn’t know how I was going to achieve that, but each day I went out on the streets and I saw a child begging or a child hawking, I bled. I came from a background where I was lucky to have my bills paid for all through my growing up age but I didn’t choose that. I might as well have been that child on the road hawking bananas or plantain. And then something remarkable changed my life when I was leaving secondary school. We went on an excursion to an orphanage home. There were these pretty little children all in their cots and seemingly at peace. Now I made the move to pick up one of the babies and she wouldn’t let me put her down again. She kept crying. So my heart reached out to that girl and then I told myself that the only way to go would be to have an orphanage home where I can try to set up something as close as possible to a family setting for children. When I lost my sister eventually, I knew that was the halting time. Luckily for me, I met with the CEO of Jabo Oil. I had some savings but not enough to put up the dream I had. And he, with a very large heart, keyed into the vision immediately and has always kept his part of the bargain to do 85% financing and also be a father to the kids at the home. We also embark on a lot of projects for the foundation, empowerment projects for slums and for widows and he has always gone the nine mile with me.

So you had a soft landing?

Almost, but finance is still not everything because when you are planning, it looks easier than when you get into it actually. When I had my first five children, I realised what challenges could be; both emotional challenges, financial challenges. Right now, we have 17 children. We’ve had up to 25 kids in the past but some of them got adopted, some found their parents.

How do you get the kids for your homes?

For regulatory reasons, we are registered with the Lagos State Government Ministry of Youth and Social Development. So every child we get comes from the government. Even when we see a child in a vulnerable situation, we alert the person in charge in Alausa. They go and do the rescue and then hand the child over to us. We do that to protect ourselves as well as the child. We don’t want a situation where they come and accuse us of being a baby-making factory. If we ever go to rescue a child ourselves, it would have been that we received a call from the government to pick the child up.

What has been your most emotional moment running the foundation?

There are several of them. There is a particular child who came in a very critical condition. I was called at about 11:30 at night that the child was almost dying at the orphanage. I was in my house in Lekki. I drove down by midnight alone through third mainland bridge to pick up the child, took him to the hospital. Within the same night, we did four trips to the hospital and back. The doctor kept trying but he didn’t tell me it was beyond him. He suggested that we should go see a consultant at LASUTH. Now, my driver wasn’t available at that time of the night. I had to drive myself and the child to LASUTH. We were kept for about two hours and we were eventually told that the hospital was full and we needed to go somewhere else. They referred us to LUTH. This was about 2:30am. Long story short, we found a private paediatrician who finally stabilised the child at about 5pm the next day. So, between 2am and 5pm we were battling with the child. I missed my MBA exam trying to get the child stable. After that time, I had to nurture that child for a full year. He came to us at three years old and when he was getting to a year and five months, we found his biological father. I had become so attached to the child before the father took him back, I had to lock myself up and I cried throughout the night. I felt like I was losing my own baby. But then, I had to train myself after that to realise that some of them would have to go eventually.

What are some of your activities?

We had one annual activity called Slum Invasion. We go to slums; we’ve been to Makoko Extension, and we have been to Ayetoro and Isale Iwaya. We go and celebrate with them. We take celebrities that we know they don’t have the opportunity to meet. We know if we go there to give a motivational speech, nobody would come out so we use celebrities to lure them out, celebrate with them and then empower them. We partner with skill empowerment organisations and we get these youths to register with them for free. We give scholarship to children. We do an outreach to widows called share your closet where we encourage people to give out of the abundance of what they have for us to sell and use to empower widows with petty trade and businesses.

How do you find time for yourself?

It’s going to happen someday. I’m going to find time for myself someday (laughs). It has hardly happened yet. It’s almost a 24-hour job because when I’m not attending to business, I’m attending to the kids. And I try to see them on a daily basis when I’m in the country. So, I have to work almost 24 hours most times, but I’m working now so that I can rest in the future. But then I’m trying to organise the orphanage in a way that it must be able to run without my physical presence. That way, I can create more time for myself.

Describe yourself

I am completely made in Nigeria. I am multilingual, I love adventures, I love putting a smile on other people’s faces and I love to be happy. I earn a living from helping other people achieve their dreams: I am a talent manager, a line producer, an author and a mother to the children at Life Fountain Orphanage Home. I refer to myself as the best thing that happened to the world.

Three wise men

The fate of ethnic entrepreneur Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB calls to mind the Greek myth of Icarus, the son of master craftsman Daedalus. Icarus thrilled to his father’s new invention. He gave Icarus a set of feathers and wax to make wings. The prospect of flying amused him, and provided him an escape opportunity from a place of oppression called Crete. It flattered his ambition.

Icarus was, however, warned. Daedalus his father asked him against what he called hubris, which referred to an over-bloated ego and self-confidence. Icarus saw that the contraption worked. He soared out of the earth and savoured the dizzy heights. He was above his fellow humans, glided with birds and even levitated above them. He forgot himself and started to see himself as a god. He thought, in the words of Shakespeare, that “the world is my oyster.” He was more than a dove or eagle. He was abandoning time and conquering space. If God asked Abraham to claim the earth as long as his eyes could see, Icarus was plumbing space to infinity.

Hubris became his undoing. He forgot his father’s warning. He flew high towards the sun. The mighty ball of heat melted the wax and the feathers came away from his arms. Icarus tumbled down in a giddy fall and plunged into the sea.

Kanu should have read about ambitions. He should have read, from his Jewish texts, that Jehovah punished hubris. He should have learned from the failings of the father of Biafra, Emeka Ojukwu. But he would not stop. He would not stop violating bail terms, stop piling invectives and lies, stop ratcheting up venom against other ethnic groups. He mounted a guard of honour, set up uniformed army, called Igbo worshippers fools for submitting to their preferred non-Igbo pastors. As an ethnic entrepreneur, he did not ask Igbo traders to stop doing business with non-Igbos.

He developed a delusion of grandeur, saw himself as His Excellency, pooh-poohed legitimate southeast governors, threatened boycott of Anambra State polls, mocked the Buhari who returned from illness as an impostor, called everyone not Igbo as zoo animals, called for arms. Like Satan in John Milton’s Paradise Lost, he overstated his power. He had become a sort of political icon of glamour, a signature stride, a sash over his shoulder, his glasses, his measured smile. Like Jesus, a fanatic got healed by touching him. He endowed his followers with catharsis. They kissed his feet, worshiped his halo, danced for him.

His followers began to believe the impossible. Foolishness overcame them and they started to search for northerners in vehicles. It showed they had no sense of history. They forgot the Igbos doing business in peace In Kano, Kaduna or Sokoto. They forgot the pogrom of the 1960’s and slaughter of many a kinsman.

From new revelations, Kanu was feeding fat. It was not for nothing I tagged him ethnic entrepreneur. He was gorging on his kinsmen. The army thought he had had enough. Yoruba would say, O ti jeun kanu (He was well fed). It was time for him to plunge like Icarus. Burned by the yellow sun, Kanu splashed head-on into the bight – shall I say bite – of Biafra. Now, in quiet, he would console himself like Satan in Paradise Lost, “solitude sometimes is best society.”

We have a tranquil country today, and the consequences of Kanu are not combustion and butchery because some men handled the matter with intricacy of wisdom. They are the three wise men of the moment. They are the Sultan of Sokoto, Saad Abubakar 111, Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State and Governor Okezie V. Ikpeazu of Abia State.

When the state seemed on the boil, Governor Ikpeazu walked a delicate line when he declared curfew. Rash leaders could have bungled it and seen the state descend into chaos. By declaring curfew, he nipped violence. He was, as it were, the host governor of Kanu, and yet he maintained a poise of control that neither portrayed him as supporter of the scoundrel nor as accommodating the excesses of the army’s presence. This is the sort of leadership of balance that is bringing attention to the Abia governor. His signature project about indigenising our taste through enterprise is now known as Made in Aba, a vision the rest of the country will do well to ape. He is Nigeria’s apostle of local content.

As the chairman of Northern Governors Forum, Gov. Shettima hit on the great idea that northern governors should head east to reassure northern folks living there. Backed by southeast governors like Ikpeazu, Shettima and a few other governors, including Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal, embarked on the trip of the olive branch.

Shettima has shown great presence as leader of northern governors. His trait has taken centre stage since the fiery day of Boko Haram. He was not rattled by the militants, and he stood with his folks in the furnace of war when over half of his state fell to the brigands. Other than that, he has run his state with cooperative elan, letting Christians and Muslims to embrace in an ambience of mutual respect and benefits. He has also shown great sensitivity to southern tribes and given them positions in his government. It must be noted, too, that Governor Tambuwal has also shown great initiative with the Ohaneze Indigbo in Sokoto and pursued a project of mutual understanding.

The Sultan’s role has been pivotal. He knew that Friday is fire in the north. Prayer can burn. So, he sent word around the north, reinforced by the emirs, including the Emir of kano, that the messages should emphasise peace, which is the hallmark of Islam. His words percolated the prayer grounds across the north. It made the difference between love and conflict, and averted blood and thunder.

All three, Shettima, Ikpeazu and the Sultan made the triumph of the triumvirate. The three gave us peace by keeping us in one piece. This is the sort of cooperation that this country is capable of. If we took this serenity of approach to other issues, including the tempestuous bickering over restructuring, we will find that it pays us to live in unity through dialogue and understanding. This quiet did not need a senior advocate or political wheel horse, or the rancour of a debate. It was informal and heartfelt. The three show that triumvirates are not always bad. In Rome, Caesar ruptured the informal triumvirate with Pompey magnus and Crassus. The second triumvirate fell to Antony’s heart beat for Cleopatra.

Yet many have been successful, whether in China, India or even in the Bible. The transfiguration had three men. The trinity is three in one, just as in Buddhism. Many will agree that Trump, Ivanka and her husband Kushner form the White House triple pillar. Gov. Ipkeazu, Gov Shettima and the Sultan were each a third of the country, to paraphrase Shakespeare in his play Antony and Cleopatra. They just crafted a model of coexistence for us as a nation.

WARNING MEN: If you don’t do these 3 important things, you will never cure weak erection and quick release
The biggest problem most Nigerian men face is that they just do not know the RIGHT THINGS to do to naturally cure their weak erections and quick ejaculation.

Instead, they rather spend money on some “new product” that promises to make their manhood size longer than a python, or they spend money on fake products similar to viagra that claims to help them last more than 60minutes in the bedroom.

Most of these products are plain rubbish.

And most likely will not work for lots of Nigerian men just because of their poor health and working condition of their body; and other bad habits like excessive masturbation, smoking and heavy drinking.

Because these bad habits kills your manpower and even when you take Viagra, after sometime the effectiveness will fade off. Then the problem of quick ejaculation and weak erection continues.

Why do you think that in some cases, a 60 year old man will still be sexually active while 30 – 40 year old men will be struggling to get an erection and cannot perform for more than 40 seconds in bed?

It’s simply because the 60 year old man is doing some important things that naturally makes him get proper erections and last 25minutes during sex.

Here’s the NAFDAC Approved Herbal Supplement that Cures Weak Erection and Helps Men Last 25minutes During Sex (No Side Effects and 100% Guaranteed)

Without wasting time, let me quickly tell you the 3 most important things you must start doing NOW to permanently cure your weak erections and quick ejaculation or else NOTHING will help you get better sexual performance.
1. Avoid substances that kills your manpower
2. Exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet
3. Take medicines that boost your sexual performance
Let me quickly talk about these 3 things and how they affect your sex life …
1. Avoid substances that kills your manpower: If you are serious about improving the amount of time you last on top of a woman, and having stronger erections, there are certain substances you will need to avoid or reduce the amount you consume.One of them is sugar. A lot of men take too much sugar, and like it or not, sugar is not an enemy to your body. Sugar is taken mainly through sugary drinks like soda, fruit juices, beverages and other sugar coated foods like patries, fries, pizza, etc.When you consume lots of sugar, fatty foods then you are reducing your ability to last longer and be a strong man in the bedroom.

1. Exercise regularly and Eat a Healthy Diet: Do you know why most Nigerian men aroud the age of 35 suffer from something known as “Penis Heart Attack”. This is the condition when you cannot have a proper erection.And the main reason is because most Nigerian men do not exercise regularly. If you can develop the habit of exercising at least 15minutes every morning, it will go a long way in helping you get stronger erections naturally.I’m talking about simple exercises like walking, jogging, using the staircase, and push-ups. These exercises helps your heart to pump enough blood throughout your body and to your penis so that you can easily get erections.Another thing that has to do with being in good health, that can help improve your sexual performance is eating foods like vegetables and lots of fruits.
  This alone can help renew your body system and make you last longer during sex with your partner. I’m talking about vegetables and fruits like watermelon, orange, avocados, bananas, apples etc.
2. Take medicines that boost your sexual performance: One of the main reason why most men above 35 years tend to suffer from poor sexual performance is because at this age your body production of testerone becomes low.So all you need to do is increase your testerone production and you will get lots of sexual energy.
There are lots of products out there that comes in different forms that claims to work for men but most of them are plain rubbish.

What you need is a supplement professionally recommended by a doctor or men health specialist that will boost your testerone levels and treat erectile dysfunction.

Three unemployed men charged with ‘gang-rape’

Three unemployed men, who allegedly sexually assaulted a 17-year-old girl, were yesterday brought before an Ebute-Meta Chief Magistrate’s Court.

According to the prosecutor, the teenager was on her way to buy noodles for her mother from the next street, but they led her to Domeh’s room and had carnal knowledge of her.

“The victim was threatened with a knife and forced into a hidden dark room where she was raped in turns by the trio,” Uwadione said.

The offences, Uwadione added, contravened Sections 261, 263 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

We get advances from men, says Gospel Musician

A female gospel musician, Mrs Lola Amzat, has advised colleagues in the industry to be focused and never compromise in the pursuit of their career.

Mrs. Amzat, who stated this in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, at the launch of her third album titled “I Am Going Higher” said female gospel musicians face diverse temptations and advances from men not married to them.

The gospel artiste said anybody who hopes to be successful in music industry must be disciplined, committed, resolute and focused recalling some of the experiences she went through in the pursuit of her career.

Mrs. Amzat said: “I have had lots of challenges; coping with reponsibilities of being a wife and mother of four children and also working as Sales Executive of the Federal Polytechnic water firm has not been very rosy but I’m surmounting them.

“The real challenge I have as a singer is finance because I have got a lot to deliver, mine is a calling to reach out to many in need of gospel truths. I lost my parents while I was very young and I also lost two of my elderly siblings who died mysteriously the same year.

“People tagged me all sorts like ‘SU’ but I didn’ compromise, I could hustle for survival doing odd jobs but I never stole or involved myself in immorality.”

“My advice to female gospel singer is to be focused and never compromise because of survival. They should practise what they are preaching because people don’t read the Bible again. Many gospel singers compromise even in the studio, I hear stories of renowned gospel musicians who compromise with their engineers in the studio.

“I had several opportunities to travel out (of the country) but because of some funny conditions attached to it, I turned it down. Men will always make come and advances but I have remained undaunted and never yielded.”

Speaking at the album launch, the Rector of the Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti, Dr. Taiwo Akande, who was represented by her Personal Assistant, Mr. Gbenga Olorunsola, urged youths to positively deploy their talents to make impact in the society rather than taking to crime.

Feminism and the Dialectics of African Culture

Feminism as a concept is not alien to Africa. Women in Africa have always been conscious of their status and well being. It only didn’t appear to them as feminism. The concept of Western Feminism is what could be considered alien to Africa. As such, conceptualizing it could be difficult. This is because these two independent enclaves have divergent realities and history. While the concept means 50/50 power sharing formula to some, others sees it as placing both genders on same social, political and economic pedestal and advantage. To this end, and for the purpose of knowledge, let us stick to the global definition since it is now a concept being pursued globally. Do I need to give the definition again? Yes, it is simply an ideology that seeks to place women on same strata with men in all spheres all of life.

One of the reasons advanced in support of feminism in Africa is the patriarchal structure of the African society. Western-Feminists believes this structure isn’t designed to favour women as it places women on the second class category of man. To them, African societal structure ought to have been designed in a way that would have fit into the western culture or style. This “oughtness” or assumption, for me, has been a self-inflicted bane on the campiagn for feminism in Africa.

Again, one would also be forced to surmise that they have not truly interrogated the dialectics of African culture as to why it is so designed. Let me make a brief X-ray.

In the precolonial Africa, farming was a major preoccupation. Both men and women took part as active agents. However, women, complemented the role of men by helping in the gathering of farm produce like cocoa, fruits and vegetables. These provided for them items of trade, which was their major preoccupation. During these periods, women also took to other enterprise and craft work like cloth-weaving, dyeing and other lucrative enterprise, which obtained at that period. Domestically, women were made to care of the home while the men fended for the home. Both genders were culturally designed to be mutually responsible. Where a gender is perceived to be lacking, it becomes a tool of mockery in the society. As such, they were curious to meet up their responsibilities. In cases where the male gender tries to dominate the other, it could be argued as human deficiency and not cultural.

African culture is loving and considerate. This partly explains how it has forbade the idea of women soldiers and other tasking leadership roles from the reach of women. This mustn’t be mistaken for what feminists argues to mean men’s ego. To a large extent, that is a misrepresentation of African culture. Another classics to demystify this school is the exceptional and outstanding cases of Moremi and Queen Amina of precolonial Nigeria. Their roles clearly reveals the hypocrisy of this school and its misrepresentation.

With the advent of colonialism came a new societal structure where western education began to dictate the tune of the African society. This change also goes with the culture of its origin as a yardstick for measuring African progress, growth, and development. Carelessly, this has informed the misinterpretation of the role of women in the precolonial African society as true agents of development and change.

One must not be tempted to agree that African culture at that time was perfect. There were indeed troubles like infertility and infidelity, which were peculiar to both male and female genders. “Okobo” was that of the male gender, “Lakriboto” and “agan” was that of female gender. While the women in modern times have Used these as an argument in advancing their case of female marginalisation, it is also sad that the case of “okobo”, which places the male victim at a disadvantage in the social circle has mostly been downplayed by the Western-Feminist agents. A classic example of this is the “Joys of Motherhood ” as captured by Buchi Emechita.

The point to be made from the above is that both genders have always played a crucial role in the development and growth of the African society. Where the male gender fails in discharging its responsibilities, he is deemed incompetent a man. And where the female gender erred, it is also deemed as misfortune. Both were served right. Most issues raised against African culture as being a patriarchy working against gender equality is at best misconstrued and misinterpreted. Proper understanding of its dialectics is expected of the Western-Feminist agents. Perhaps, if they do, better result could be achieved beyond mere sloganeering and women takeover impression. Who knows?

Why some women are doing better than men in business —Jumoke Omojuwa, CEO, Spices

Jumoke Omojuwa is the MD/CEO of Spices Confectionery Ltd. She is an award-winning entrepreneur and a counsellor on family matters and women. In this interview with GBENGA ADERANTI, she talks about the implications of wives earning more than their husbands, why it is likely to continue to be so and other issues. Excerpts:

WHAT were you doing before now?

I was working in a media outfit as an assistant manager in the finance and administration department in a Lagos based-media firm . At that time, my marriage was young and I lost my first child immediately after birth. After some time, I got pregnant again and decided to resign to have time for my young marriage, myself and my unborn child, but I quickly became bored due to my restless nature and I started looking for what to do, in the process my natural passion for cakes blossom and I went for trainings to better equip myself on the act of making cakes. That was how Spices Confectionery came to be.

What has been the experience as a CEO?

Well, the experience has been challenging but we give God the glory, it has been bad, it has been good.

Spices Confectionery started operations in the year 2002 after my training in cake making and decoration from one of the foremost cake companies in Lagos, Nigeria in 2001.

Nowadays, more women are in the business and they are doing better ; what could have been responsible for the surge?

Before now, women were relegated to the background, but after the Beijing conference, women were encouraged to take up positions in the economy, politics and government that men do. Also, women are detailed and lot more passionate about what they set out to do, women are more patient than men. Women have discovered that they are people of purpose that they have their career and family to take care of. In today’s economy, the income of our husband cannot cover all the expenses of a home and women have taken up the challenges of being a help mate fit for their spouse by going into business and making sure they excel in it

How did you manage to win federal government’s grant?

A friend of mine told me about the federal government ‘u win’ grant and I took up the opportunity. I did not believe the federal government could come up with such initiative that was so free without any influence such as political and others; I waved all doubt, applied and fulfilled all requirements. It was very competitive and it was in two phases but mine was the second phase meant for women. A total of 1200 emerged as winners of the u win programme, and I was part of them.

How did you invest in Spices initially?

I started with N100,000 and by the grace of God it has grown into millions.

What are the things a woman going into business should watch out for?

They should watch out for male supremacy. A woman who is into business should brace up and build her capacity because the world is practical built for men, a woman should also balance her home and business so that work will not have supremacy over her home because she is the home builder. She should put proper structure and devote more of her time because business is work, most importantly the woman doing business should be disciplined.

Most private business lifespan is short in Nigeria, what could have been responsible for this?

Private business fail in Nigeria due to lot of reason, the business environment in Nigeria is very challenging and lot of people go into business to make end meet, infrastructure decay such as power supply bad road network, the banking system, high interest rate and lot of business fail because there is no structure in place that allows the business run smoothly when the owner is not around

Lots of businesses don’t have business management capacity, people go into business when they have money and without training on the said business they want to go into

Where do you see Spices in the nearest future?

I see it growing to employ not less than 200 staff capacity, branches in major cities in Nigeria, Spices Confectionery one day being a major player in confectionery business in Nigeria, I see Spices Confectionery empowering the youth and all age group and contributing our quota to national growth.

What is Spices all about?

Spices Confectionery Limited is a company dully registered with the corporate affairs commission. It started operations in 2002 as a business name and became a limited liability company in 2013 we are currently located in Ikeja, Lagos State and Alagbole -Akute, Ifo Local Government in Ogun State. Our products and services are cakes, bread, catering services, event management, cocktail and Chapman drink, professional ushers, barbecue, and trainings.

Men without brains

I really do not know how far the NHRC can go on these cases. The killers, I pray, will not go scot free. I do not have the patience to wait till the hereafter for them to pay for the evil ways. They should be caught right here on earth and face the music of killing the Adubes and several others in Rivers, whose families can never truly forget.

Moments after the men with brawns but no brains left, seven members of the household were down and out. Over 50 shots were fired during the invasion that lasted between 6pm and 7pm on April 3, 2015.

Mrs Patience Adube, one of the wives of Christopher, the patriarch of the house, who had just been mowed down with two of his sons, his daughter, nephew and driver, was in their neighbourhood in ONELGA, Rivers State when the shots started booming.

She returned home after the assailants had left to find her husband and six others in pools of blood. The image still gives her jitters over two years after.

Mrs. Anube broke down in tears while recounting how her husband and others were murdered in their family home in Obrikom, ONELGA one week to the 2015 governorship election in Rivers State.

“I saw the body of one of my sons lying on my husband’s body both in the pool of their blood. I also saw my daughter’s body lying on the floor.

“I lifted one, it was a dead body; I lifted another, it was a dead body…oh Jesus!” She said as she broke down in tears while narrating her ordeal to a panel of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) — holding a picture of her late husband and her three children.

That terrible day, the assailants also left two of Adube’s children, Paul and Ogechi Adube, with permanent scars. They would have died on April 3 when men without brains stormed their home in ONELGA and killed their father and three of their siblings. They also killed their family driver and a family friend who was in their home when they came, dressed like soldiers. The bullets they pumped into then 15-year-old Paul’s leg have ensured he is wheel-chair bound. The hot lead they released unto Ogechi’s legs have also seen rods inserted into her bones and because of this, she cannot fold her legs. You can imagine the pains of walking around with legs that feel like wood.

Of the 12 children Adube had with his two wives, three were killed with him; two were left practically crippled and the others now live with shattered dreams. They are not sure of where the next meal will come from. Their father’s sin, I am made to understand, was his affiliation with the APC. His children’s sin was being born by him. The evil men applied the Law of Moses forgetting that the coming of our lord Jesus Christ marked the end of that law, which encouraged taking out the father’s sin on the son or daughter.

Paul and Ogechi need help. They can walk again and lead normal lives. All they need is surgery. Their father did not leave the kind of money that can guarantee them the best of medical care, which will bring them back to normalcy. It will make them forgive, but certainly not forget.

The NHRC last week began investigating the killings of the Adubes and several others in Rivers before, during and after the last general elections. The victims have shown face. The accused have stayed away and claim ignorance of the NHRC’s invite.

Some 50 persons were killed in ONELGA alone around that time. The NHRC is investigating about 153 petitions on hate speeches and election-related violence which occurred in the various parts of the country in relation to the 2015 general elections. Twenty-three of the 153 petitions concern ONELGA.

When the commission began its hearing on May 9, it was sorrow and tears galore. Memories came alive and made men and women shed tears like babies.

NHRC Project Coordinator and Director of Monitoring Tony Ojukwu told The Punch: “Everybody concerned in the Rivers State petitions were invited. The petitioners were here (Abuja) for the preliminary hearing but those accused of the various allegations did not honour our invitations.”

He was quick to add: “The failure of anybody invited to attend our hearing will not stop the statutory duties of the commission.

“Right now, we are at the stage of evaluating and analysing what we got during the preliminary hearing because we have to be sure there are cogent issues to investigate further.

“If we find out that there are cogent issues that the petitioners can substantiate at the end of the day, we will conduct a public hearing and whoever is invited and fails to attend it must be ready with the findings of the commission at the end of the day.

“Fair hearing only requires giving an opportunity to the person accused to say his or her own side of the story.”

The fear of Rivers made the commission conduct the hearing in Abuja after being in various parts of the country for the preliminary hearing of other cases.

The picture of the leader of the suspected killer gang, donning a full military camouflage, and his lieutenants was hung by the petitioners in the auditorium where the preliminary hearing held on May 9 and 10. There were also flyers showing pictures of bodies and properties destroyed. The auditorium also had large banners, which were enlarged sizes of the flyers, hung on its wall.

Occupying prominent slots in the banners and flyers were Clever Orikwowu, Mr. Caleb Ahmed, Mr Mbamalu and Mr. Ogbuehi.

Justice Orikwowu and his mother, Ruth, are yet to get over the killing of their father and husband, Clever. The widow, a house wife, said she collapsed when the news of her husband’s death was relayed to her. Clever is survived by his wife and their seven children. The eldest child was 19 when he was killed. The youngest was 11 months.

Mrs. Caleb-Ahmed, a native of Emoh in Abua/Odual Local Government, is also left to cater for her children. Her husband left behind four children – 11, 8, 4, and 2 year olds at the time he was killed.

Another widow, Ijeoma Mbamalu, 21 at the time of her husband’s death, had an 11-month-old baby, whose 27-year-old father is six feet below after being killed at Oprikom.

Innocent Ogbuehi said his 59-year-old brother, an APC member, was killed while he was shaving in front of his house on the day of the governorship election.

My final take: I really do not know how far the NHRC can go on these cases. The killers, I pray, will not go scot free. I do not have the patience to wait till the hereafter for them to pay for the evil ways. They should be caught right here on earth and face the music of killing the Adubes and several others in Rivers, whose families can never truly forget.

Men are afraid to approach me – Yvonne Okoro

Nigerian-Ghanaian actress Yvonne Okoro, has come out to quell a notion about dating women in the limelight.

On Tuesday, the actress who said she has been single for more than two years, took to her Twitter account to counter a notion that men are scared of her because she is in the limelight.

“I would say men are afraid to approach me, reason is there’s this misconception about women in the limelight:1woman=10men,this is a FALSEHOOD,” she wrote.

The tweet elicited several responses from men who used the opportunity to ask her out.

One of such fans was @lilmodulo, who tweeted at her, writing, “@yvonneokoro am not a superstar, just any ordinary man but will you accept my proposal. Don’t take in funny sense!” to which the actress responded, “So sweet but maybe next time.”

Another fan, @NYboateng, wrote, “Bringing my application letter,” to which Yvonne responded, “Pls no I beg.”

Continuing in another tweet, Yvonne wrote, “We are all not evil and we are all not surrounded by 100men at a time… It’s a really LONELY job we have and to trust som1 enuff to date#hard.”

In a follow-up tweet, the actress who won Ghana Movie Awards Best Actress Award in 2010 advised men who might be scared of her.

“So pls those men that are rattled by wat I said, dont be, it’s my experience, so please calm yourselves.”

The actress has acted in movies such as ‘Ghana Must Go’,’ Like Cotton Twines’, ‘Contract’ and ‘4 Play’ among others.
