Puting this man in that position is just to make the work more easier and workable, because most of the dirtiest place in Lagos are been accommodated by the igbo's. please this is not a matter of tribalism but fact. and i believe he will be able to communicate with them in the language they will understand better.

Go back to school, you no gree. See who is talking about being dirty.

You are right but what struck me is the idea of charging the battery with the output power from the cylinder which would have to be converted to DC. there will be loses along the line due to heat, friction and so on, How this adds up is what i am trying to figure out.

However, I applaud the gentleman for this and I hope the design can be picked up and analysed mathematically to ensure it is sustainable and realistic.

Simplyleo:
Absolute nonsense and ingredients.

Obviously for the gullible ones who know next to nothing about energy. Someone up there is already talking about govt turning blind eye, lol. As expected.

The only way water can generate electricity is through dam or any waterfall where it hits a turbine blade thereby turning it and ultimately converting potential energy to electrical energy. Or water being forced to drive a turbine as in gas stations. But in this case, the energy forcing the water must come from somewhere.

But for a portable generator running on water as fuel, 100% impossible.

Pls if you know nothing about physical sciences, just hold your peace, don't bother quoting me.

The first man to make such scientific breakthrough of creating energy out of nothing will be a multibillionair in few weeks.

There is no opposition in Ebonyi state

My brother, there is ohh. APC is very serious but for sure they can never win.

paulegend:
I didnt read this but all I know is that this tenure is the last reign of Umahidom. Ebonyians must be liberated from this tyranny called governance.

All these because he refused to share money like Elechi. Those that want him replaced are lazy individuals that want free money instead of looking outside government to find something to help themselves with. All the roads build by past administration are in complete shambles because it was never well thought and supervised. It was actually a loothing tunnel for thier cronies.

The Man really tried and what impressed me most is the quality of work, had Elechi towed this path, the state would have been in a much better shape.

NonsoWow:
The typical abakaliki BS from Umahi. All the hotels and nightclubs on that road are owned by Anambra indigenes. All of them! Ebonyi people don't contribute anything to Anambra state except poverty, agboro and armed robbery. The abakaliki people are the ones hating on Anambra and this they have shown clearly by frustrating Ibeto Cement from re-activating the Nkalagu cement plant because Ibeto is from Anambra.

My brother, this type of unguarded vituperation is the reason other ethnic nationalities hate us (igbo) with passion. You have now summeringly concluded that all criminals activities and odd jobs in Anambra are done by an ebonyians. I think you need to think bettrr before you write.

shallysgirl:
This thread is for every Nigerian.
We keep reading people write things like Ebonyi Muslim this, Ebonyi muslim that, igbo muslim bla blah blah.
We need to clarify this Igbo and Ebonyi muslim story once and for all.
I am Igbo, I finished school more than 15years ago, so you can guess my age.
In my whole life, I have only met one igbo muslim and that was when I served in the north. Before then I didn't even know there were Igbos that were muslims so i found it difficult to believe at first but I was later convinced by his colleagues. The guy was the president of his faculty's muslim students association.
I read about them though,but I never see or meet them,even on TV.
I have also heard one or two Igbos who also have Islamic name,like Mustapha Chike-Obi who isn't even a muslim, I saw one on TV last week Dumebi Abubakar who was on the cast of a movie, and during my national service there was also this Igbo lady married to northern muslim,but she wasn't a muslim.
After I met the igbo muslim during service, I made enquiries and found out there is a large family in Enugu Abdullahaziz Udeh family who are predominantly muslims. Coincidentally,the Igbo muslim guy I met is also from Enugu state too.
This past week, I have been asking Igbos around me(some of them older than I am) if they have ever physically met an igbo muslim, and none has ever met or seen one physically. They have also heard about them but never met them physically.
I am not saying there are no igbo muslims but I think they are just a small number of them.
This is not a hate thread or a bigotry thread, but a thread to clarify.
My question is where are these Igbo and Ebonyi muslims hiding?
Have you ever met an igbo muslim physically before?

I am from Ebonyi and have never in my lifetime met an igbo Muslim from Ebonyi, this is a statement of fact and not mere assumption.
However, i detest the idea of judging people based on their religious inclinations. we have good and bad Muslims and same goes to Christians.
My best friends in my work place are mostly Muslims and non-igloos. Love conquers hates in the end!

Hello Mr. Man, stop fooling yourself. Abakaliki has more modern structures compared to those cities you cited.
Do yourself some good and travel out of your enclave. Yorubas generally think the eastern part of the country is underdeveloped.

According to "The Herald", TB Joshua is leaving Nigeria for Israel and statistics has shown that 6 out 10 foreign tourist in Nigeria visits Synagogue Church of All nations. This will have serious negative impact on our Forex earning, spiritual and social benefits Nigerians has been enjoying over time through this man of God.

In a bombshell announcement that shocked congregants and viewers of Emmanuel TV alike, Nigerian Prophet T.B. Joshua declared his intentions to leave Nigeria and relocate his ministry to the nation of Israel.







Speaking to a rapt multi-national audience at his church service on Sunday 30th April 2017, Joshua disclosed that he had just returned from the ‘Holy Land’ after holding meetings with three prominent Israeli mayors of Jerusalem, Tiberias and the Jordan Valley.









According to the cleric, they offered both land and facilities in an area around the biblical site of the Sea of Galilee for the Nigerian Pastor to organise meetings for international pilgrims.







“This is where my Father in Heaven came from – it’s non-negotiable,” Joshua explained, adding it was not a decision he undertook lightly.







“It’s the best place for you to meet Prophet T.B. Joshua. After your healing, blessing and deliverance, you can move around all the spiritual monuments which will establish your faith,” he further clarified.







Joshua said his decision to leave was not connected to the “persecution” he endured during his ministry.



image: http://www.herald.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/TB-Joshua-With-Mayor-Of-Jordan-Valley-Idan-Grinbaum.jpg





However, he hoped the move would help people to “appreciate” what his ministry had been contributing to both the local economy and Nigeria’s international image.







“This is the most persecuted ministry in the world. Who are the people persecuting the ministry? My people, Africa,” Joshua bluntly stated, adding that this ‘treatment’ had led him into a life of virtual isolation.







“That is why I choose to live a lonely life. If you want to see me, come to this church. I don’t go out. It has not been easy – because I don’t know who is a friend or who is an enemy. If you learn T.B. Joshua is not around, I am in a revival. I live in the church here. I don’t have a house outside.”







“Anytime you pray, remember Africa in prayer,” the cleric solemnly continued to an audience which included over 3,000 foreign nationals who flew into Nigeria to attend the church service.







“Many heroes and great people have been chased out of Africa. There are many geniuses in the Western world who are originally from Africa.”







The cleric pointed to the example of heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua who was allegedly turned down by Nigerian sporting authorities when he wanted to represent the country.







“What happened to me from the beginning of my ministry is enough to chase me out of this country – but I am still in your midst. Upon the persecution and hatred – I decided to follow the path of love. You show hatred; I show love. When I go for a revival, you will see the stadium full but I am not carried away by that. I leave where I’m celebrated to live where I’m persecuted.”



image: http://www.herald.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/TB-Joshua-With-Mayor-Of-Tiberias-Joseph-Ben-David-.jpg





The cleric then advised congregants: “Where you are not celebrated is the best place to stay, to get strength. When you are in the midst of a battle, you are building yourself. That is why I decided to stay where I am not celebrated here in Nigeria. When the grace of God is amid challenges, it gets stronger.”







According to the cleric, the invitation to Israel came due to the growing popularity of Joshua’s television channel Emmanuel TV, which is especially known on YouTube.







“Your life can preach a better sermon than your mouth,” he exhorted the congregation, stating that the Israeli officials had observed his ministry from afar before inviting him.







No timeframe for the move was specified in the service and it was not clear whether activities in The SCOAN’s Ikotun-Egbe base would cease entirely.



image: http://www.herald.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/TB-Joshua-With-Mayor-Of-Jerusalem-Nir-Barkat.jpg





Joshua concluded by counselling people: “Don’t destroy your relationships beyond repair because the person who fights you today can be your saviour tomorrow.”







The shock announcement will come as a blow to Nigeria’s religious tourism industry.







Statistics from the Nigerian Immigration Services revealed that six out of every ten travelers to Nigeria go to The SCOAN, with countless local businesses and hotels in the area relying on the church activities for their sustenance.

blackberlin:
Sometimes I don't blame someone like this. A lot of people don't enjoy anything as citizens of Nigeria. But I know there's hope for Nigeria. . . The more people wake up and hold politicians and public office holders responsible for their actions, the better for us all.

We really need to spring up. . . Nigeria has great potentials with its vast population of hardworking and innovative citizens.

Just give us electricity in Naija, as in... South Africans will come and be washing plates here (no offence S/A).

I am a Nigerian but i am quiet disappointed with the caliber and crop of leaders we have in my country. In SA, the institutions guarantee business growth and at same time promotes and rewards entrepreneurial skills while on the other hand, The institutions in our country are failure driven with nepotism as its cardinal criteria for choosing the best(worst) to head such institution. We as a country need to stand as say enough is enough. Few idi...ots are exploiting our divisions and which has provided them with fertile ground to perpetrate their evil intentions on innocent Nigerians. Lets Wake up and save this country!!!

This man is doing wonders, he has transformed the city and still doing more. He makes less noise about his achievements. Ebonyians are quiet pleased with him. Night in Abakaliki city is beautiful having ensured that all nook and crannies of the city has smooth access road and accompanying functional street lighting. Thank you Dave for your achievements so far and yea, he is also rehabilitating some of the roads in the rural areas.

That is very good!

Igbos should go back to the East and set up their businesses and leave Lagos alone after all,its in zoo nation

Expecting more demolition.

Biafra people

You are a lady for that matter and I expect you to consider the fact that some people's source of livelihoods may have varnished. Try and act as a woman for once and drop the hate thing. I don't care if the shop owners are igbo, Yoruba or whoever but dropping bulldozer two days before starting demolition would have sent a strong message that the government is serious about her intents and I am sure shop owners would have been able to recover some of their goods.
Let me also say that population of lagos makes it attractive to investors knowing fully well that whatever goods and services produced will be sold and asking a section of the country to leave because of reasons best known you will not be in the best interest of the state and its economy. Igbos constitute a large portion of lagos population and so we can't just wish that away.
....pls, never mind my typo errors....

Obi Nwakanma responds to PMB's remarks on Igbo and Biafra during his first media chat at state House...

During the presidential media chat on Wednesday 30th December 2015, Nigerian President Muhammed Buhari said that Igbos were not maltreated, and should stop screaming marginalization.
Speaking of the continue protests and struggle for the realization on Biafra Republic in parts of the South East and South South, the former miliary head of state said:
“Why does it have to worry me, when I have militants, Boko Haram and other. They said they are being marginalsed but they haven’t defined the extent of their marginalisation. Who marginalised them? How? Where? Do you know?,” he queried.”Who is the minister of state for petroleum, is he not Igbo? Who is the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria? Is he not Igbo? Who is minister of labour, science and technology? What do the Igbos want?”

And now, Obi Nwakanma, a Poet, journalist, biographer and literary critic, has written an article in answer to the question, “What do the Igbos want?”

Enjoy:

In Biafra, under three years, they were making their own rockets and calculating its distances; distilling their own oil and making aviation fuel, creating in their Chemical and Biological laboratories, new cures for diseases like Cholera, shaping their own spare parts, and turning the entire East into a vast workshop, as Ojukwu put it.

At the end of the war, the Ukpabi Asika regime brought together these Biafran scientists and set up PRODA. The initiative led, in the first five years between 1970-1975 under the late Prof. Gordian Ezekwe and Mang Ndukwe, to designs of industrial machinery models and prototypes for the East Central State Industrial Masterplan, which remain undeveloped even today. The Murtala/Obasanjo regime took over PRODA in 1975 by decree, starved it of funds, and basically destroyed its aims.



2ndly, Federal government policies centralized all potentials for innovation and entrepreneurship. Before 1983, states had their Ministries of Trade and Industry. These were charged with local business registration, trade, and investment promotion, and so on. But today in Nigeria, if you wish to do any business, you’d have to go to Abuja (it used to be Lagos) to register under the Corporate Affairs Commission. It used to be that local business registration was state and municipal functions. The concentration of the leverage for trade utterly limited Igbo entrepreneurs, particularly in the era of import licensing, once your quota was exhausted, you could not do business.

This affected the old Igbo money in Aba and Onitsha, who were the arrow-heads of innovation and traditional partners in the advance of Igbo industrial economy. It is remarkable that as at 1985, a least by a book published by the Oxford Economist Tom Forrest in 1980, The Advance of African Capital, the Igbo had the highest investment in machine tools industries in all of Africa, and the highest depth of investment in rural, cottage industries. In his prediction in 1980, if that rate of investment continued, according to Forrest in 1980, the Igbo part of Africa would accomplish an industrial revolution by 1987. Now, by 1983/85, Federal government policies helped to dismantle the growth of indigenous Igbo Industry through its targeted national economic policies. As I have said, there is a corollary between industrial development and innovation.

3rdly, the severe, strategic staunching of huge capital in-flow into the East starved Igbo businesses and institutions of the capacity to utilize or even expand their capacities. There were no strategic Federal Capital projects in the East. There were no huge infrastructural investments in the East. The last major Federal government investment in Igbo land was the Niger Bridge which was commissioned in 1966. Any region starved of government funds experiences catatony and attrition. Private capital is often not enough to create the kind of synergy necessary for innovation. Rather than invest in the East, from 1970 to date, the Federal government has strategically closed down every capacity for technological advancement in the East and stripped that region of its capacity.

By 1966, the Eastern Nigerian Gas masterplan had been completed under Okpara. But in its review of a Nigeria gas masterplan, the Federal government strategically circumvented the East. Oil and Gas are under Federal oversight. The Trans-Amadi to Aba Industrial Gas network/linkage had been completed in 1966, to pipe gas from Port-Harcourt to Aba. The Federal government let that go into abeyance and uprooted the already reticulated pipes. The East was denied access to energy with the destruction of the Power stations during the war.

The Mbakwe government sought to remedy this by embarking on two highly critical area of investment necessary for industrial life: the 5 Zonal water projects, which were 75 completed by 1983, and set for commissioning in 1984, which was to supply clean water for domestic and industrial use to all parts of the old Imo state, and the Amaraku and Izombe Power stations, under the Imo Rural Electrification Project. These were the first ever massive independent power projects ever carried out by any state government in Nigeria which would have made significant part of Igbo land energy independent today. The supply of daily electricity was possible in Imo as at 1984. The Amaraku station had come on stream, and the Izombe Gas station was underway, when Buhari and his men struck.

The first order of business under the Buhari govt in January 1984, was to declare all that investment by Mbakwe “white elephant projects.” They were abandoned, and left to decay.

Ground had already been acquired and cleared on the Umuahia-Okigwe road to commence work by the South Korean Auto firm, Hyundai, under a partnership with Imo for the Hyundai Assembly plant in Umuahia, to cater to a West African market. The first order of business under the Buhari government in January 1984, was to declare all that investment by Mbakwe “white elephant projects.” They were abandoned, and left to decay. The equipment at the Amaraku power station was later sold in parts by Joe Aneke during Abacha’s government. Some of the industries like the Paint and Resins company, and the Aluminium Extrusion plant in Inyishi were privatized, and sold. Projects like the massive Ezinachi Clay & Brick works at Okigwe are at various stages of decay, as memorial to all that effort.

4thly, you may not remember but Odumegwu Ojukwu founded and opened the first Nigerian University of Technology – the University of Technology Port-Harcourt in 1967, under the leadership of prof. Kenneth Dike. He had also compelled Shell to establish the First Petroleum Technology Training Institute in Port-Harcourt in 1966. All these were dismantled. The PTI was take from Port-Harcourt to Warri, while University of Tech, P/H was reduced to a campus of UNN, until 1975, when it became Uniport. You will recall that for years, up till 1981, the only institutions of higher learning in Central Eastern Nigeria were the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, IMT Enugu and Alvan Ikoku College of Ed, in Owerri. There is no innovation without centers of strategic research.
Mbakwe and Jim Nwobodo changed all that in 1981, when they pushed through their various states Assembly, the bills establishing the old Anambra State Univ. of Tech (ASUTHECH), under the presidency of Kenneth Dike, and the IMOSU with its five campuses under the presidency of Prof MJC Echeruo. The master plan for these universities as epicenters of research and innovation in the East were effectively grounded with the second coming of the military in 1984, and the diminution of their mission through underfunding, etc. As I have said, I have given you the very short version. After a brief glimpse of light between 1979-83, Igbo land witnessed the highest form of attrition from 1983- date, and the destruction of the efforts of its public leadership to restore it to its feet has been strategic.

Some have been intimidated, and the Igbo themselves have grown very cynical from that experience of deep alienation from Nigeria. I think you should be a little less cynical of Igbo attempts to re-situate themselves in the Nigerian federation: starved of funds, starved of investments, subjected to regulatory strictures from a powerful central government which sees the East in adversarial terms, and often threatened, the Igbo themselves grew cynical of it all. You may recall, the first move by the governors of the former Eastern Region to meet under the aegis of the old Eastern Region’s Governors Conference in 1999, was basically checkmated by Obasanjo who threatened them after they called for confederation in response to the Sharia issue in the North.

Their attempts to establish liaison offices in Enugu and create a regional partnership was considered very threatening by the federal government under Obasanjo, that not too long after, they abandoned that move, and that was it. If people cannot be allowed to organize for the good of their constituents, then it only means one thing: it is not in the interest of certain vested interests in Nigeria for a return of a common ground in the Eastern part of Nigeria because establishing that kind of common ground threatens the balance of power. It is even immaterial if such a common ground leads to Nigeria’s ultimate benefit. There are people who just find the idea of a common, progressive partnership of the old Eastern Region threatening to their own long term interests. This is precisely what is going on – its undercurrent. This of course cannot be permitted to go on forever. A generation arises which often says, “No! in Thunder.”

The Trans-Amadi to Aba Industrial Gas network/linkage

had been completed in 1966, to pipe gas from Port

Harcourt to Aba. The FG let that go into abeyance and

uprooted the already reticulated pipes.

Igbo population is quite huge, and people who truly know understand that the Igbo constitute the single largest ethnic nation in Nigeria. Much has been made about how this so-called “small” Igbo land space could accommodate the vast Igbo population. But People also forget that Igbo land accommodated Igbo who fled from everywhere else in 1967. So, the question of whether Igbo land is large enough to contain the Igbo is a non-issue. In any case, Biafra is not only the land of the Igbo. It goes far beyond Igbo land. But even for the sake of building scenarios, we stick to Igbo land alone – the great Igbo cities of Enugu, Port-Harcourt, Owerri, Aba, Onitsha, Asaba, Abakaliki, Umuahia, Awka and Onitsha are yet to be reach even 30% of their capacities.

New arteries can be built, facilities expanded; there are innovative ways of moving populations through new transportation platforms -underneath, above, on the surface, and by waterways. The East of Nigeria has one of the most complex and connected, and largely disused system of natural river waterways in the world. New, ecologically habitable towns can be expanded to form new cities from the Grade A Townships – Agbor, Obiaruku, Aboh, Oguta, Mgbidi, Orlu, Ihiala, Amawbia/Ekwuluobia, Elele/Ahoada, Owerrinta, Bonny, Asa, Arochukwu, Afikpo, Okigwe, and so on. The Igbo will be fine. The Japanese and the Dutch, for example, have proved that there are innovative ways of using constricted space.

As for the economy: it is supply and demand. New economic policies will integrated Igbo economy to the central West African and West African Markets. The Igbo will create a new vast export network, unhindered by idiotic economic and foreign policies. The re-activation of the PH port systems will for e.g. open the closed economic corridor once and for all to global trade. As anybody knows, it might take a fast train no more than 45 minutes to move goods from the Warri or Sapele ports to Aba and even in less time to Onitsha. As Diette Spiff once observed while playing golf at Oguta, all it would take to connect Warri and Oguta is just a long bridge, and the vast economic movement will commence between Warri and its traditional trading areas of Onitsha and the rest of the East.

The quantum of economic activity will see the growth of that corridor between Aba-Oguta- Obiaruku down to Warri as the crow flies. The impact of trade between the Calabar ports and Aba will explode. In fact, the old trading stations along the Qua-Iboe River (the Cross River) at Arochukwu, Afikpo, down to Oron and Mamfe in the Cameroons will explode and create new prosperity and new opportunities. I am giving the short version. So, the Igbo will be alright. They would simply be just able to define their own development strategies, deploy their highly trained manpower currently wasting unutilized, and the basis of its vast middle class will create new consumers, and generate an internal energy that will thrive on Igbo innovation, industry, and know-how, which Nigeria currently suppresses. This is exactly one very possible scenario.

So, Tanko Yakassi is wrong. May be if the Igbo leave Kano, the Emir will no longer need to buy his bulb from an Igbo trader in Kano. He will have to buy it either from an Hausa, a Fulani, a Lebanese, or some such person. But those will have to come to Igbo land to buy it first before selling to the Emir. There was a time when all of West Africa came to Onitsha or Aba to buy and trade because it was safe, and those cities were the largest market emporia in the continent. People came from as far away as the Congo to buy stuff in Aba and sell in the Congo. It could happen again, only this time on a vaster, more controlled scale. The network of Igbo global trade will not stop if they left Nigeria. In fact, they will have more access to an indigenous credit system that would expand that trade, currently unobtainable and unavailable today to them, because Nigeria makes it impossible for Igbo business to grow through all kinds of restrictions strategically imposed on it, including port restrictions.

However, although I do think that the Igbo would do quite well alone, they could do a lot better with Nigeria, if the conditions are right. This agitation is for the conditions to be made right; for Nigeria and its political and economic policies to stop being a wedge on Igbo aspirations. And Igbo aspiration is quite simple: to match the rest of the developed world inch by every inch, and not to be held down by the Nigerian millstone of corruption, inefficiency, and inferiority. The Igbo think that control of their public policies on education, research and innovation, economic and monetary policies, and recruitment, control and deployment of its own work force both in public and private sectors will give them the leverage they need to build a coherent and civilized society.

They point to the example of Biafra, where under three years, they were making their own rockets and calculating its distances; distilling their own oil and making aviation fuel, creating in their Chemical and Biological laboratories, new cures for diseases like Cholera, shaping their own spare parts, and turning the entire East into a vast workshop, as Ojukwu put it, while Nigeria was busy doing owambe, importing even toothpick, and creating new wartime millionaires from corrupt contracting systems by a powerful oligopoly. It is a fallacy much driven by ignorance that Igbo will not thrive and that Igbo land will not accommodate Igbo population if they leave. That is not true. There is no scientific basis for it.

The dynamics of human movement will take great care of all that. It’s a lame excuse. What people who wish for Nigeria to stay together should do is not to make such puerile statements, because it is meaningless. What we should all do is to find the strategic means of containing Igbo discontent by LISTENING to the Igbo, and seeking peaceful and productive ways of fully freeing their energy to instigate growth both of themselves and of Nigeria within Nigeria for everyone’s benefit. Threatening them will not work. It has never worked, and it is important to understand a bit of Igbo cultural psychology: the more you threaten him, the more the Igbo person digs in very stubbornly. Igbo, with a long tradition of diplomacy, thrive on consensus not on threat of the use of force, or the like.

Frankly, those who continue to think that the Igbo have no options are yet to understand the complexity of this movement as we speak. They still look at the surface of events while the train is revving and about to leave the station. We need to work very carefully on this issue. I myself, I prefer Nigeria. I like its color of many peoples and cultures. That in itself is the very condition for growth and regeneration. A single Igbo nation may be more prosperous, but will be less interesting, and that is the more valid argument.

Taiwo Bolatito Sobamowo, 32, was arrested Sunday in Raleigh, N.C., on a warrant issued by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, according to the Raleigh/Wake City-County Bureau of Identification.
She reportedly had a second possible residence in Raleigh and was found at the house after a rental car with a Georgia tag was recorded rented under “one of her alias names.”

According to Epifanio Rodriguez, a spokesman for the local sheriff’s office, Sobamowo did not have a nursing license but supposedly practiced as a registered professional nurse at Gracemont Senior Living off Jot Em Down Road near Ga. 400.
The agency also issued warrants for her on felony charges of financial identity fraud and forgery, Rodriguez said.
“Sobamowo had provided fraudulent credentials under a different name to gain employment,” Rodriguez said. “The investigation showed that Sobamowo is not licensed in the state of Georgia or elsewhere in the United States.”
According to a multi-jurisdictional investigation, she supposedly used the licensing information of a metro Atlanta medical professional who was not aware her identity had been stolen prior to the Forsyth County investigation.
The woman reportedly confirmed to law enforcement that she does not know Sobamowo or allow her license information to be used by anyone.
Sobamowo was held at the Wake County Detention Facility in Raleigh before being transferred Wednesday to the Forsyth County Jail.
She appeared in Forsyth County Magistrate Court on Thursday by video conference before Judge Walker Bramblett.
According to jail officials, the judge set a total bond of $29,920, of which $27,500 must be cash.
Bramblett also said Gwinnett County has issued a hold order for the suspect. She could also face charges of identity fraud and forgery in Roswell, which is where her former employer is based.
Sobamowo is also the subject of a separate probe for her employment at Peachtree Christian Hospice off Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and Pleasant Hill Road in Duluth.
The center is where 22-year-old Bobbi Kristina Brown resided at the time of her death in July. She was the daughter of Houston and fellow singer Bobby Brown.
In late January, Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unresponsive in a bathtub and was kept in a medically induced coma until her death. She had been named as the sole beneficiary of her mother’s estate after Houston’s death in 2012.
According to the Associated Press, Mariam “Lola” Savage, a friend of Sobamowo, said she visited her in early September and was told by her friend that she had been caring for Bobbi Kristina.
“Duluth police began investigating this matter on Oct. 27 after being notified by Forsyth County authorities of their investigative findings,” said Don Woodruff, a spokesman for the Duluth Police Department.
“Duluth obtained a warrant for practicing as a registered professional nurse without a license. Additional charges may be forthcoming.”
Woodruff said Duluth investigators are “looking at her involvement” at the hospice.
A police report shows no indication that Brown’s care was affected by Sobamowo.
Paula Sanders, executive director of the Georgia Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, which contracts nurses to the centers involved in Sobamowo’s case, said registered nurses in hospice facilities will bathe, change and feed a patient or make sure those tasks happen.
Responsibilities also include providing medication, providing updates and making conversation with patients and their family members to ensure their comfort.
Sobamowo was hired by Homestead Hospice in September 2014 and fired on Aug. 5 when she failed to provide proof of a license, according to the Georgia Board of Nursing.
“She doesn’t have any credentials to work there,” Woodruff said. “She’s not a nurse, so anything she may have done there may be criminal activity.”
He said her employment records indicated she attended a medical college in Washington, D.C.
“To date,” he said, “we have been unable to confirm her attendance at this school.”
A cease-and-desist order issued by the DC Department of Health, according to the AP, says an August 2013 background check showed Sobamowo had been convicted of check forgery and other offenses in Minnesota.
She also apparently faced charges of theft in Maryland and a charge of passing a bad check in Missouri.

November 3 -FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. – An exclusive FOX 5 I-Team investigation has unveiled a woman who worked as one of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s nurses in her final days in hospice has been arrested for impersonating a nurse.


Senior I-Team Investigative Reporter Dale Russell has learned the Forsyth County Sheriff’s office issued arrest warrants charging Taiwo Sobamowo with identity theft, forgery and impersonating a nurse. Sobamowo was picked up over the weekend in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Monday afternoon, the Duluth Police Department also issued an arrest warrant against Sobamowo, charging her with impersonating a nurse. The hospice where Bobbi Kristina was living at the end of her life – Peachtree Christian Hospice – is located in Duluth. Detectives said more charges are expected.


Sobamowo was employed by Homestead Hospice and Palliative Care, which provides contract nurses for Peachtree Christian. The company told the FOX 5 I-Team they are “shocked and dismayed that she had issues with her licensing.”
The company said Sobamowo was terminated and immediately reported to the State Board of Nursing. Amanda McKissick, Regional Director of Operations said, “We understand that we are not the only hospice that she has gained fraudulent employment with, and we are relieved that she is no longer practicing.”

FORSYTH COUNTY — A Buford woman arrested for impersonating a nurse at a north Forsyth health care facility is also wanted in nearby Duluth for working without a nursing license at the hospice where Whitney Houston’s daughter died.
Taiwo Bolatito Sobamowo, 32, was arrested Sunday in Raleigh, N.C., on a warrant issued by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, according to the Raleigh/Wake City-County Bureau of Identification.

The woman reportedly confirmed to law enforcement that she does not know Sobamowo or allow her license information to be used by anyone.
Sobamowo is being held at the Wake County Detention Facility in Raleigh until she can be returned to Cumming.
Rodriguez declined to comment further on the matter, other than to say the investigation began in September.
“Anything else she’s involved in, we don’t have that,” he said, deferring comment to the other law enforcement agencies involved.
Sobamowo is also the subject of a separate probe for her employment at Peachtree Christian Hospice off Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and Pleasant Hill Road in Duluth.
The center is where 22-year-old Bobbi Kristina Brown resided at the time of her death in July. She was the daughter of Houston and fellow singer Bobby Brown.

“Duluth obtained a warrant for practicing as a registered professional nurse without a license. Additional charges may be forthcoming.”
Woodruff said Duluth investigators are “looking at her involvement” at the hospice. It was not clear whether she worked directly with Brown or whether she used her false credentials to get close to her.
Peachtree Christian Hospice provided information indicating she provided service as a contract worker through Homestead Hospice, located in Roswell, Woodruff said.
“She doesn’t have any credentials to work there,” Woodruff said. “She’s not a nurse, so anything she may have done there may be criminal activity.”
He said her employment records indicated she attended a medical college in Washington, D.C.

Hello everyone please I need your advice and encouragement on this mini importation business because i am really facing problems on this importation biz.


What I found out now is that the things I import are always cheaper at lagos

Because my first order was 30 watches and after buying them I found out that they are even cheaper in lagos than importing them because I want to sell them on wholesale price.

My next order was tummy slimming waist trainer for women. When I received the samples I said let me go and look for buyers that will buy it on wholesale before importing them
When I got there I found out that my price is higher than lagos price.
Even the price I bought it is higher than lagos price not to talk of adding profit.

please how can one really make money from this mini importation biz?
I am buying from 1688
Please help me with a solution to this problem or is there anything I am thinking wrong?

The goods are always cheap in china but when you calculate the total cost price of the goods and shipping fee, you will found out that is very expensive when compared to the price of lagos.

Then you will start saying that buying from lagos is even cheaper than buying from china. So now, what is the big deal on importing from china or uk/us when we can even get it cheaper in lagos?

Info marketers will always show you the prices of the goods in china but they will not include the shipping fee.
Sometimes the shipping fee can even multiply the cost of the goods * 4 and above.

Please your contributions are highly welcomed.

The only way out is to buy in large numbers, probably in thousands. Thats way, you can beat the cost price per item down to at least match lagos price else you are in for trouble. Alternatively, you can opt for distributor from major importers which I believe will be better for starters
