Obi Cubana invites ‘Blord’ for a meeting after he rejected $10m foreign investment

Nigerian businessman and CEO of Cubana Group, Obinna Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, has held a meeting with cryptocurrency investor Linus Williams Ifejika, also known as BLord, for business purposes. The two entrepreneurs met after BLord turned down a $10 million investment offer from foreign investors for his latest innovation, the BillPoint app.

According to Ifejika, the meeting with Cubana focused on tech-related matters pertaining to the banking sector. He shared a photo of the two businessmen after the meeting, declaring that they were going to take over the Nigerian banking system. Days before the meeting, BLord had announced that he turned down the $10 million offer because he believed the app would generate much more profit than the amount offered in just a few years.

The B-Lord Group founder is known for his expertise in cryptocurrency investments and has been making waves in the tech industry with his latest innovation. Cubana, on the other hand, is a well-known entrepreneur in the Nigerian hospitality industry.

He is the owner of popular nightclubs and lounges across the country, including the famous Cubana Nightclub in Owerri, Imo State. He has also recently diversified his business interests to include real estate and other investments. The meeting between the two businessmen has caused a buzz in the Nigerian business community, with many anticipating what their collaboration could mean for the tech and banking industries in the country.

Other people who want to be, should come and tell us what they want to do, and how to do it. This is my country, I don’t have dual citizenship. If anyone thinks I am going to run away from Nigeria, they are lying. “I have three engagements in Anambra and Lagos today. I will be speaking in Lagos tonight. We will not leave Nigeria.

Mocking his insistence on being president, Bashir Ahmad described it as pipe dreams. “So, Daddy’s favorite son insisted that he MUST be the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We wish him sweet dreams!,” Bashir Ahmad wrote.

“I was never arrested in UK” – Peter Obi speaks regarding alleged arrest in the UK

The recent news about the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, being detained at a UK airport has been debunked by Obi himself. In an interview with Arise TV on Monday night, Obi clarified that he was not detained but rather stopped for a routine immigration check. The former governor of Anambra State disclosed that the immigration check lasted for less than 20 minutes, and he was treated with due respect and VIP treatment. He attributed the incident to the duplication of his identity by someone.

Obi emphasized that he was never arrested, and the immigration officials only wanted to verify his identity. He noted that he was given VIP treatment throughout the process, contrary to the reports circulating on social media. Obi said, “I was stopped for a routine immigration check in the UK because it appears that my identity was duplicated by someone. I was never arrested. I was treated with due respect and walked through the VIP process. Everything lasted less than 20 minutes.” The clarification by Obi has put to rest the rumors and speculations that he was detained by UK immigration officials. It highlights the importance of verifying news before circulating it on social media to avoid spreading false information.

Peter Obi reacts as FG postpones 2023 census

The Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi backs the Federal Government of Nigeria following decision to postpone the 2023 census. The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed on Saturday postponed the 2023 national census scheduled for May 3-7 indefinitely.

Addressing the development, Peter Obi emphasized how perfect the move was despite the country being due for the head coubt. In a statement via Twitter, he wrote; “FGN’s decision to postpone the 2023 Population and Housing Census, scheduled for 3-7 May 2023, to a date to be determined by the incoming Administration is a propitious and welcome development. National Census is a critical development and nation-building tool. Even though Nigeria is long overdue for a census, conducting one requires proper planning and diligence to ensure the sanctity of the results; the efficacy of the data gathered therefrom, as well as their utility in driving national development goals, our living standards and growing national housing deficits. It is hoped that when eventually the census is conducted, it will serve as confidence-building measures instead of being fraught with the usual controversy. -PO”

Lamidi Apapa faction of Labour Party accused of approaching tribunals to sabotage Peter Obi

The Labour Party has raised an alarm of suspended self-acclaimed chairman of the party, Lamidi Apapa, approaching the election tribunals for all cases filed by the party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, against the President-elect, Bola Tinubu and the Independent National Electoral Commission to be dismissed. The Labour Party made this known in a statement signed by Obiora Ifoh, its Acting National Publicity Secretary. According to the party, approaching the tribunals to withdraw all the cases lodged by Labour Party candidates across the board is the height of subterfuge and treachery, and Nigerians will resist this ploy to plunge the nation into unnecessary turmoil. The statement read; “Daily, the evil intention of the breakaway faction of the Labour Party, led by the suspended Deputy National Chairman, Lamidi Apapa continues to manifest and just this morning, our legal team was confronted by the stark revelation that these men have advanced their plot by approaching all the tribunals where our numerous candidates lodged their election petitions arising from the recently held general election. “Alongside Lamidi Apapa on the plot to frustrate Labour Party’s destined victory in the tribunals and also to derail the fledging democracy are some of the suspended members including the Samuel Akingbade, Gbenga Daramola, Anselem Eragbe and Abayomi Arabambi erstwhile National Legal Adviser, National Financial Secretary, National Youth Leader and National Publicity Secretary respectively amongst others. “Recall that the leadership of the Labour Party has been swimming through the murky waters of conspiracy, treachery and sabotage orchestrated by these former officers of the party.

“We had long suspected that moles were planted to sabotage the efforts of the party to offer Nigerians an alternative to the wicked and clueless governance in place today, but the desperation to satisfy their pay master are beginning to threaten our common peace and of course our democracy. “Approaching the tribunals to withdraw all the cases lodged by Labour Party candidates across board is the height of subterfuge and treachery, and Nigerians will resist this ploy to plunge the nation into unnecessary turmoil. “Their actions show that they are working against the party and that they are working to destroy the party. “If they claim that they have a problem with the national leadership of the party, will they also claim that they have a problem with the candidates of the party? What offence has the candidates of the party committed that they are now moving around to withdraw their matters from the tribunal.”

British government tenders apology to Peter Obi over illegal detention

UK government apologize to Peter Obi illegal detention

The British government has tendered an apology to the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi after he was wrongly fully detained by an immigration officer who had mistaken him for someone who impersonated him to commit some crimes.

It was also gathered from a statement released on the Labor Party website that the UK govt expressed that the unsavoury treatment had been totally unacceptable. “Frankly, the Immigration Official’s action – has been appalling – and we are sorry,” they quoted. Recall that the ex-Anambra governor was detained and questioned for a duplication violation, according to Diran Onifade, the party’s campaign council spokesman, who disclosed in a statement released on Wednesday, April 12. On Good Friday, April 7, 2023, Obi landed at Heathrow Airport in London from Nigeria and was confronted by immigration officers. He was given a detention note and instructed to move aside by the officials while he waited in line for the required airport procedures. Onifade said: “He was questioned for a long time and it was very strange for a man who lived for over a decade in that country. Since the impersonator is still at large, the scenario is unimaginable as Obi could be implicated in a series of forbidden acts and even be framed in a manner that could be a huge embarrassment to him, his family, his party, the obidient Movement, and indeed Nigeria, where he currently and indisputably remains the conscience of the people. The immigration officials who were also taken aback at the reaction of the people were forced to reveal that Obi was being questioned for a ‘DUPLICATION offense’ meaning that someone has been impersonating him in London. The high implication of the offense is that the impersonator could be committing all kinds of weighty crimes and other dubious acts and it would be recorded in Obi’s name.”

Peter Obi alledgedly detained by Immigration in UK

UK immigration officials allegedly detained Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the recent general elections, for hours and interrogated him upon his arrival in London‘s Heathrow Airport.

Obi confided in Professor Chinyere Okunna, who worked with him as commissioner for information, commissioner for economic planning, and coordinating commissioner for development partners, expressing his frustration and pain about his ordeal and others meant to drive him out of Nigeria. Immigration officials claimed that someone was impersonating Obi in the country, raising concerns about potential criminal activities and framing. Okunna said: “I suppose he told me all this confidentially. My very sincere apologies, Your Excellency, for ‘breaking’ this confidentiality, but History beckons and I CANNOT KEEP QUIET. “Obi spoke to me at the Official Opening of the Specialist Hospital of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM) Sisters, Nkpor (on Tuesday). He had arrived at the event after flying in from London. “I actually had no idea he had travelled out of the country, until the ovation over his presence in a London Church went viral on the Internet. “He arrived at Heathrow Airport and joined the usual queue to pass through Immigration, and that was when his ordeal began. “He was stopped and questioned for a long time and subsequently handed a detention note and told to wait for further interrogation and investigation. “This was terribly unusual for a man who had lived honourably in the UK for a long time. “In the face of this harassment, some well-meaning Nigerians, knowing who he is, raised their voices in protest, demanding to know why he was being treated that way.” “The shocking revelation by the Immigration Officer was that his (Obi’s) identity ‘was duplicated’. This revelation has definitely set off alarm bells. “For people who are knowledgeable about such matters, this is a very dangerous development because the implication is that someone is impersonating Peter Obi. “And that someone could implicate Obi in all manner of dubious and even criminal activities, and rope him into any number of offences; he could get Obi framed for one criminal act or another. The frightening scenario of what can happen is unimaginable!!! “This is the height of it all for a man who has been under sundry intimidation and emotional torture: Bugging of his phone and those of his wife and children; keeping him constantly under surveillance; calling him names; putting him under severe pressure to leave (run away from) the country; wrongly accusing him of negative things he knows absolutely nothing about, etc. “As he was telling me his ‘Heathrow tale of woe’ at Nkpor today, I could see a man who was in severe pain and under unbearable stress, who many would expect to be at the point of despair. “But, as he confirmed, he is ready to suffer this pain and is as determined as ever to pursue the path which he has chosen to enable him arrive at the destination which well-meaning people in Nigeria and far far beyond are expecting him to arrive at.”

Peter Obi addresses suffering, loss of rights of Obidients

Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has written an emotional letter to his supporters, who are commonly referred to as “the Obidients.”

Obi, who came in third place in the recent presidential election, stated that he and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, were aware of the suffering experienced by his supporters, including verbal abuse, physical attacks, loss of rights and privileges, and online harassment. Obi’s statement was published via a series of tweets on his verified Twitter handle on Monday, and it comes after an alleged audio conversation between him and Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church.

Peter Obi acknowledged that even those who were once seen as civic leaders and the conscience of the nation had joined in attacking his supporters. He urged them to see the attacks as necessary sacrifices required to create a new Nigeria. While urging the “Obidients” not to give up or be lured into unnecessary conflicts, Obi assured his team that they remain fully organized, focused, and committed to addressing the country’s problems. The former governor of Anambra State added that he and Baba-Ahmed would use all lawful and peaceful means allowed by the laws and constitution to reclaim their mandate to create a new Nigeria. Peter Obi on Sufferings, Loss of Rights and Privileges of Obidients “My Obidients, a very happy Holy Month of Easter and Ramadan to you all. As we celebrate the Easter and look forward to a joyous Eid El Fitr, we pray for God Almighty’s guidance, protection and blessings as we face and pass through a litany of challenges in our dear country, Nigeria- flawed electoral processes, insecurity, weak institutions, multidimensional poverty, unemployment, inflation, lack of justice, fairness, equity, opportunities and many more. “As we reflect on these challenges and look forward to a New Nigeria that is POssible, Datti and I are painfully mindful that for the mere reason of being OBIdient, most of you have suffered vituperations, physical attacks, loss of rights and privileges, hateful trolls, indignities and vexatious fighting words, even from some of those we long regarded as civic leaders and conscience of our nation. Please bear such attacks as the sacrifices that we are all required to make in order to create a New Nigeria, where justice, equity, fairness, love and prosperity shall reign.” My Obidients, a very happy Holy Month of Easter and Ramadan to you all. As we celebrate the Easter and look forward to a joyous Eid El Fitr, we pray for God Almighty’s guidance, protection and blessings as we face and pass through litany of challenges in our dear country, — Peter Obi (@PeterObi) April 10, 2023
