Photos: Johannesburg meets Sujimoto

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 01:25 PM PDT

Article by Sujimoto...
Gossip, good or bad, is the first unsolicited tourist information you encounter before arriving at your destination.  Before embarking on my trip to "Joburg", I had an earful of good stories of this amazing city, its contemporary lifestyle, beauty and people; above all, I was warned about the silent prejudice towards MALE immigrants; especially Nigerians.  After a 6 hour flight, I arrived early in the morning to O.R Tambo International Airport Johannesburg. I got on the immigration line and as I stood there wishing and waiting to be called by the pretty immigration lady who I could charm and make my way into the wonderful city as quick as possible, Uff… a thick voice calls me, "Sharp my man, passport please". Feeling disappointed, I feigned a smile.
As I got there, the officer kept staring at my Sujimoto badge on my jacket and then  uttered "HAAAAA, sharp man he responded, you are the young Entrepreneur chap on the news and all the blogs man big up, I love you 'braa', keep doing what you do because you motivate us even here in South Africa". He stamped my passport and even escorted me to the chauffeur; he was very nice and extremely helpful. I tried to show gratitude with a 50 USD note, and he said thank you brother, it is not necessary. This first encounter set a positive tone and immediately contradicted my perception of him. His kindness and hospitality is hard to forget.
A Free Society
They say freedom is not only the absence of physical incarceration but the presence of a free mind and soul, a free state where its people are still poor and suffer from basic human amenities is not free at-all, a country that has refused to supply its citizens the most basic infrastructure like electricity is an incarcerated society pretending to be free. I would not say the same for Johannesburg. Driving in the city towards the Michael Angelo Hotel made me think I was in a dream; I was overwhelmed by the beautiful infrastructure, the road network, the bridges, and the composed society where traffic lights (robots) work. The only feelings in my mind was that how can we replicate this in Nigeria, our beloved country.

Apartheid 
My first days were full of surprises and impressions, not only because sheer beauty of the city but reality that a city in Africa can be comparable and even more beautiful than some of the top cities in Europe. Honestly, I was blown away. Some critics would say South Africa is only developed because of the presence of an Apartheid system, some think Apartheid brought more beauty to South Africa than failures. Some would even argue that without the presence of the white South Africans, the economy, the infrastructure and its efficient society would never have been this advanced. I personally don't subscribe to such notions, on the contrary, I garnered from my experience engaging with both black and white races at all levels, in different strata of government and also business captains. I am of the opinion that the country is developed because of the combined effort of its citizens, towards accepting nothing but the best for its people, be it white or black.


Black successful South Africans
Gone are the days where the black-Africans are the "marginal". I was opportune to have intellectual meetings with black young South Africans, who are entrepreneurs and captains of industry.  I visited the famous Meat Lounge, and it was a pleasant experience, which gave me a glimpse of the ecosystem for the successful black business community. It was marked by opulence, and my conviction was further accentuated. The glaring and flamboyant drive through of the Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren cars driven or 'conspicuously' parked by young black people displaying their success. I then stopped to ask myself, is this a yardstick of accomplishment or a function of the country's distinctive loan schemes?  Although there were whispers that those cars and successes are backed with loan debts, but nonetheless, I am an optimistic student of success and it is well displayed in Peter's Meat Lounge.


NIGHT LIFE, Famo and Tamy.
Joburg SLEEPS when it dies, but no one sleeps in SA. I would never sleep or leave the city without experiencing the amazing night life. The night life in Joburg is something that I have never seen before, the vibe, service and ROI, makes you think you are somewhere in Las Vegas or Manhattan. Harlem Club, a place where beauty is redefined, the vibration, the people, the friendliness and above all the girls.... Never in my life have I seen so many beautiful girls in one place. As a young single guy, I was amazed by their physique. I thought to myself, how could God have been so fair to have given their girls such an amazing endowment?! How can a human being be all shades of beauty and blessed with a beautiful shape, a shape that's meant for about 3 girls to share. It was a memorable experience and I had a blast!  

Apparently, Nigerian guys have left a precedent, which is quite evident anytime a South African girl hears you are Nigerian. Their physiology and behaviour changes automatically, their smile and interest is increased by almost 200%. Well, I wouldn't say the rest, but FUN is an understatement when it comes to the description of my experience in Joburg. 

Meeting with Honourable Minister for Finance , CNBC & Luxury Table.
This trip wouldn't have been a successful one, without the help of the pretty and amazing Desiree of CNBC and Miss Kabelo, who were instrumental in my discussions with South African Honourable minister of Finance, Minister Nhlanhla Nene. I kept asking about how their role and experience in the South-African economy can be replicated in Nigeria or how they are bilaterally or unilaterally helping their sister country get better. Minister Nene, an articulate soft spoken man assured me that the South African government holds Nigeria firmly as one of its diplomatic allies; he said they have been doing a lot and they would do more.

After the CNBC event, I was privileged to be invited to a luxury dinner of 18 top brands at Athol Place Hotel, owned by The Morukuru Family. In attendance was the representative of Aston Martin, Mr Rens Rademeyer and Chris from Forbes. The GM's accommodating and yet professional disposition could be best described as a distinction between luxury and exclusivity with engaging and informed conversation, most times drifting towards why Nigeria hasn't met expectation when it comes to luxury goods. A point raised was the fact that our country is rich, has big spenders and buyers but the big brands have still refused to come. Some spoke about instability, some spoke about competitive efficiency, while others complained that the government's policies do not give them flexibility; just to mention a few. Well, with my little knowledge, I was able to convince them that the principal constituent of failure is excuse(s) and only the brave people who are ready to engage in what the ordinary mind see as impossible, these vital few would reap the rewards of success. Though being the only Nigerian at this exclusive gathering nevertheless my little opinion motivated many. Did I mention Aston Martin may most likely bring their show room to Nigeria before the end of this year? A remarkable night that ended it turned out to be hmm?


Architectures and Hotels
The architecture of any city is its identity. This is the first boarder you meet and it forges your perception of the country, its history and the values of its people. It's like love at first sight. It's ok to have a good hearted girl but what drives (first attraction) you to a woman or a man is their body and beauty. Same thing in Johannesburg, the beauty of its architecture is par excellence and easily meets international standard. I've been around and seen places, but my stay at the Micheal Angelo, was one of the best, owing to its five star experience, impeccable service from the staff and efficient management. The plush ambience at Saxon international is a blend of pure sophistication where royalty and true aristocrats meet to dine. The Davinci, a palace of contemporary art and beauty that one will only see on the streets of NYC. Oh! The Emperor, owned by Mr Chaim Cohen, Jewish developer who saw the importance of luxury living. He is a true builder whose spatial representation in his building pays tribute to the Roman archetypes with magnificent interiors synonymous  to the "Address" in Dubai. It has a striking approach similar to the Coliseum in Rome, but an impeccable contemporary interior. I was surprised when he told me silently that the building was 8 years old.

Another noteworthy person is Lynn of Lynn estate; she's a testament to what you can achieve through dedication and hard work.  She told me her hardship and her commitment to the lord has given her all what she has. I met her one day in her Triplex penthouse, every Tuesday, there is a service where different group of people worship. Apart from the beauty of the penthouse on the third floor and suspended swimming pool, I was moved by a successful lady who has a religious commitment to bring people to her multimillion dollar penthouse every Tuesday for worship. She is divine and exhibits an extraordinary character that is worthy of emulation.


In Yoruba, we say (kilo wa ni sokoto tonbe ni sokoto) (what we are looking for in SOKOTO is right in our sokoto 'trousers'), I have always looked into European architects and made them my chief source of inspiration but little did I know in our "backyard" lies a gem. South African architectural society is very organized, characterized by the enthusiasm ,ambitious  and creative personalities, demonstrable by their works. I met with different architects from different books of life; Blacks, Jews, Whites, French, and they all had one thing in common, Ï call it "the drive". It's the single and vital ingredient missing in our country. We need to apply imagination to dream big and embrace the attitude that anything is possible. How could I forget Xavier, a French speaking Belg. He is a renowned head architect of GLH. Xavier expressed his passion for Nigeria and was committed and impressed about our new project, and hopefully if our numbers are in accord, he would win his first project in Nigeria at the Lorenzo apartment by Sujimoto.

Friends
I was also privy to travel with my friend, an ambitious Xhosa man called Theo, who introduced me to the Executive members of Bloemfontein, a city of gold and tranquillity. Very soon, Sujimoto SA is convinced that we shall have the tallest building in Bloemfontein before 2020.

Miss Kenewile who was my sister and my guide, and now an executive business developer for Sujimoto SA, was a blessing to me. She and her son Giogio would be part of our family forever! An enchanting lady whose understanding of the city's intricacies is better than a GPS. She had her hands and eyes everywhere. Her entrepreneurial spirit and the attitude of possibility is an asset that would push us as high as possible, I love her beyond my sister, and thank you so much for such an amazing time in your beautiful Country.


Nigerian embassy 
How could I visit a city without paying respect to our embassy? The Nigerian Embassy both in Joburg and Pretoria represent the true meaning of our strength in Africa. I loved the serenity, easy accessibility and the attitude of the staff.
I had the opportunity to meet the admirable Head of Chancery, Alhaji Saliu. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. 
My visit to Pretoria almost kept me in Pretoria longer than expected. The acting ambassador, Mr Cobham, is more than a diplomat but an ambassador at large, a diplomat at heart, and an enchanting realist who understands the beauty and challenges of a country. He is extremely optimistic about everything he says. I must say this man won a disciple and I wish him nothing but the best. I'm proud to say he is a big Sujimoto fan as well! I discovered that the man I've been talking to for the past 3 hours has been reading about our works since July last year! Small world and I would tell you that the dividends of the reputation you nurture and build, is the number one currency of LIFE. Guide it well.

Man wakes up & finds £1.25m mistakenly deposited in his bank account

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 12:36 PM PDT

Imagine waking to find that N200million has been deposited mistakenly in your account? It happened to this man, 21 year old Kieran McKeefery. He was baffled and couldn't believe his eyes after he logged on to his online banking and discovered he had a mystery £1.25 million in his account.
"I checked my online banking and immediately I noticed I had £1.25million in the bank. I was a bit fazed at first. It was such a copious amount of money to be in my bank."
Like he should, Kieran called his bank, Natwest, and told them about it. The bank investigated and told him the money was deposited by mistake in his account by a huge investment company via their bank and it was up to the bank to retrieve the money. They said they would alert the bank of the mistake. It took that bank 10 days before the money was retrieved - leaving Kieran with a bonus £210 of interest.


Honest Kieran, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, said:
"It was very strange and quite scary when you are in that position, checking your bank to see if £1.25 million is in there. I didn't know what to do, except just wait and think about all the things I could have spent it on. I thought 'oh God, what has happened' - I was a bit shocked more than anything else.
"I called the bank and they said they would look into it. I was kind of tempted [to spend the money] but I had read stories about people spending money mistakenly placed in their accounts and getting in trouble. I spoke to my partner and she said to just leave it there and don't touch it.
"I was buying a new car the next day and I could have paid for it in cash - and bought quite a few more - with the money in my account. The bank wasn't really playing ball. It was a bit crazy really.
"I had all this money in my account and they said they had made the request [to the payee's bank] and I just had to wait. They said it was up to them to sort it."
"The interest was pretty good really and they haven't asked for it back," said Kieran.

Oh wow! CCTV catches 4yr old boy 'keying' a car in broad daylight

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 10:05 AM PDT

A 4-year-old vandal has been caught on CCTV keying a car in broad daylight as he walked past the vehicle on the street. David Draper, 37, was horrified when he watched the footage of the child vandalising his car on Pinehurst Avenue, Waterloo.

The boy, who Mr Draper believes to be four or five, vandalised his car on Mother's Day at about 2pm, reports the Liverpool Echo.


The dad-of-two said: "A young boy scratched my car in the street and was seemingly allowed to do so. I don't know who they are. I knocked on the doors of my neighbours and have discovered their cars have also been damaged as well. I'm hoping I'll be able to just paint over it but it's still damaged. I don't recognise the older boy or any of the children.

"I've lived here for five years, it's a nice area. Nothing like this has happened before."

The footage shows an older male, possibly in his mid to late teens, with his hood up walking in front with a girl of about nine and another boy of about six or seven. Trailing behind them is the youngest child, who in the footage looks around quickly before sliding a key along the vehicle.

24 year old Miss Nigeria Ezinne Akudo today March 23rd opened the doors to her own Rape Crisis Center set up by her organization…'The Eight Foundation'.

The Eight Foundation provides free services in the areas of Crisis Response, Counseling & Support, Court Advocacy, Education & Outreach with the support of the Lagos State Office of the Public Defender, The Domestic and Sexual Violence response team and the Mirabel Center.

This crime can take place at anytime and can happen to anyone regardless of tribe, religion or social class. Sadly, the society's response to this heinous crime has led victims to believe that silence is the best option. However, Speaking up is our greatest weapon in this fight against sexual violence."

APC's burial is on March 28th - Patience Jonathan

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 09:18 AM PDT

Speaking at the PDP women rally in Onitsha, Anambra state today March 23rd, First Lady Patience Jonathan said APC will be buried on March 28th. According to Mrs Jonathan, the defection of Rivers state Deputy Governor, Tele Ikuru from to PDP is an indication that the opposition party is dead.
"Imagine the deputy of a whole director-general of the APC presidential campaign decamping, does that not show that the party is dead? The party is dead and buried and March 28 is its burial. The party will not live again. When you start answering old drugs, expired drugs, then you know that your death is coming closer. The way things are going, APC will soon bear Ebola.
Is Mbakwe [former Imo state governor] corrupt? Yet you jailed him. What of Jim Nwobodo [former Anambra state governor]? Yet you jailed him. Don't support a man that would imprison your mother and father. Jonathan is our messiah. He made Ihejiriaka the chief of army staff and has helped many of our people. Igbos are not fools. We know whom to support. PDP has come to stay."she said

Please, this is 100% fact because I know the girl, plus FFK is a single man, so this is not a scandalous report. Well, he has a Ghana-based wife named Regina Amonoo but they are estranged.

Anyway, to the gist, the former minister, 54, is currently dating former Miss Valentine and 2014 Miss United Nations World 2014, Precious Chikwendu, who is also an actress and model. She's popularly known as Snow White and I have written about her before..read here. She's currently living in his Abuja home and I hear he's so smitten with her. She was on a movie set last week in Lagos with four police men guarding her. There are whispers that he's planning to make her wife number 3. 

I know her well because she used to date actor IK Ogbonna...:-). More pics of the lady after the cut...

LIB reader reports domestic violence with photos

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 07:39 AM PDT

An email I just received. Read below...
I really don't know where to start from, I'm going to make it brief. I have lived in my grandmother's house all my life because my dad was at one point not able to foot the bills, till he had a stroke and died, my grandmother took care of me raised me up and sent me to school. Now I am 23 years old with a good job. I fend for myself and cater to my grandmother's need. I have an aunt in the house that terrorizes us all. She beats me up, bites me at every point she gets.
She started staying with us when she was deported from London a couple of years and things have been really crazy since she started living with us, my grandmother's company, she ran down, at one point she has stabbed my grandmother, just a couple of days back we had an argument and she decorated my body with trophies of bites and scratches. The last time she bit(bite)my face because I went out without telling her. There's absolutely nothing she doesn't tell people about me(bad) , and this hate results from the fact that my dad was the first born and she feels my grandmother's properties is going to be given to me (and am totally not interested ). Now my problem is this I don't feel safe in my home anymore, I can't eat at home, am not happy and it's affecting my concentration at work and my professional exams I am writing, I want to leave and get my own place but how do I leave my grandmother that took care of me, I don't want it to seem like am ungrateful cause that's the last image I want to portray, she has fought so many battles for me and also will she be safe?

Son of former Senegal president, Karim Wade sentenced to 6 years imprisonment for corruption

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 07:24 AM PDT

Karim Wade, the flamboyant son of former Senegalese president Abdoulaye Wade, has been sentenced to six years in prison for financial impropriety and corruption. 46 year old Karim who was nicknamed "Minister of Heaven and Earth" during his tenure as Minister was found guilty of "illicit enrichment".

He had gone on trial in June 2014 with charges including illegal acquisition of companies and a large amount of real estate while serving in various govt posts during his father's 2000-2012 presidency.


Karim, who has been in custody since April 2013, denied the charges brought against him. Today's verdict comes just two days after his father, Abdoulaye Wade (pictured left) was chosen by Senegal's once ruling Democratic Party to be its candidate in the next presidential election.
