SOCIETY WATCH; S.O.S; TINAPA LIES WASTE AND UNUSED

One of the great benefits of having a president from the South South is that he can be appealed upon with passion when it concerns his brothers. In case the matter has not been brought forward by Gov liyel Imoke of Cross River State, I humbly wish to appeal to Lucky Joe to use fiat to approve Tinapa as a tax free trading zone which was the original concept of the planners of that wonderful tourism and business destination.
Tinapa is not just for sight seeing. Its also planned to be Nigeria’s answer to shopping in Dubai. The vision of Mr. Donald Duke was that it would be Africa’s main shopping hub, with all the big fashion designers owning oulets there, from where they can service the African market. The Customs have been sitting on granting approval for its take off. Presently only a few pubs operate in Tinapa. The place is practically dead because of petty politics.
I have heard it whispered that the U.A.E people could be behind the refusal of the appropriate authorities to make Tinapa functional. No smoke without fire. Those guys have everything to lose. First will be there yeye airline Emirates, which is so expensive and rubs the nose of Nigerian passengers , who keep them profitable, in the mud. The run daily flights into our air space, but have no respect for our people. Lucky Joe has just got to do something or should we rather tender the appeal through, Her Excellency, Madam Patience?

JIM IYKE AND HIS APPETITE FOR SCANDALS.
Top Nolly wood actor and model has a good thing going for him. The public loves his face and producers fall over themselves to pay good cash to have him feature in their movies. In these hard times when Nollywood producers have complained to me about dwindling sales of movies, a guy, who pays you n1.3 million has don you a favour. He could have picked any body else. But Jim Iyke thinks he is a super man and does not honour engagements. He walks into set at will and drives away to frollick with little girls and drink when shooting is not concluded, abandoning others on set and making the producers to incur bills and delay production.
If you ask me Jim is an irresponsible oaf, who should be sanctioned by the Actor Guild of Nigeria. He should also be placed on a two year ban. He acts the same childish roles in all his movies; an insolent, insultive super brat. Big deal for an actor. Many swollen headed artists have fallen from grace to grace and they are begging with tears for a chance to get back on main street. Jim iyke should go seek out Edrees Abdulkareem. At one time that fellow thought without him, there will be no music in Nigeria. The Indian hemp he smoke gave him grand illusions of his super stardom and he decided to try the American super star 50 CENTS for size. His act cost Nigerian Breweries organizers of the show hundreds of millions and they lost face. They took their revenge on the stupid Edrees and shut down the fool. In four years plus, he has not been invited to a concert and his career is in the refuse dump. That is where Jim Iyke is striving to be. I wish him luck.
