And football said to Usain Bolt, “I no bi your mate.”
After failing to agree a contract with Australian side Central Coast Mariners late last year after a trial, Jamaican athletics great Usain Bolt has decided to take his sight off professional football and focus on his business endeavours. “…It was most different from track and field…” he said. Before nko? Did he think he had the anointing? Sense fall on him there!
Sanwo-Olu not yet in office, but raking in investors already
All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Governor Babajide…sorry (blame it on the plenty judgment-skewing posters), Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu is showing himself to be a man who cares for the city of Lagos. At a session with selected Swiss investors in Geneva, Switzerland, the man shared investment opportunities that abound in Lagos State. The investors, it was reported, expressed concern about political risk in the state, and Sanwo-Olu assured them that Nigeria was safe for investment, and Lagos State, as the economic nerve centre of the country, presented the best environment for global investments. What a great guy Sanwo-Olu is. Would be odd, though, if after the state elections, those investors find another face other than Sanwo-Olu’s in the State House. Just saying.
A strike continua!
Imagine this: clean water to drink, 24-hour power supply…and no ASUU strikes. Gotcha. In truth, only Styl-Plus are allowed to imagine that. Resident doctors at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja have announced of a three-day warning strike beginning on January 28. The strike is said to be in protest over shortage of house officers and resident doctors. Would have asked again for you to imagine something but you’re probably vexed now.
Baba Iyabo haff vex!
Former president Olusegun Obasanjo is at it again with his trademark verbal scalding. In an interview published by BBC News Yoruba on Monday, the elder statesman was quoted as saying, “Those in government today, if we expose them, all of them will enter hell; they will not only go to jail. They will go to hell.” Would have been more fitting if Baba had said both “those in government today” and “those who used to be in government”, don’t you think?
