Beware of Obasanjo, MASSOB tells Igbo

Awka — THE Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), yesterday, warned Igbo people, especially the political class, to be wary of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, arguing that his recent romance with Igbo states is very suspicious. Olusegun Obasanjo MASSOB leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu, said in a statement in Awka that Obasanjo had never hidden his dislike of the Igbo and wondered why he suddenly saw the need to be speaking in their favour. Madu said: “Obasanjo’s current political antics, romance and friendship in Igbo land is very dangerous to the political survival of Ndigbo in Nigeria. During his eight-year tenure as President of Nigeria, he consciously and willfully created political obstacles for Ndigbo. “He initiated several political frustrations against Abia, Anambra, Enugu and Imo states during the tenures of Orji Uzor Kalu, Chinwoke Mbadinuju and Chimaraoke Nnamani. “Obasanjo deliberately ignored Igbo land, leaving the area without infrastructural development. He witch-hunted our people politically and mesmerized Ndigbo by changing Igbo Senate presidents at will. “During his eight-year rule, he never visited Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu or showed concerns to his position as Igbo leader. “Obasanjo, as an enemy of Ndigbo, hated former President Goodluck Jonathan because of his brotherly treatment to Ndigbo. Jonathan did not see Ndigbo as a conquered people, but appreciated and acknowledged their leadership qualities and industrious nature. “During Jonathan’s tenure as Nigeria’s President, Ndigbo, for the first time, occupied key principal political positions, like Minister of Finance, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Petroleum Minister, Inspector General of Police, Chief of Army Staff, etc, and he upgraded Enugu Airport, which Obasanjo vehemently and wickedly opposed because of his pathological hatred against Biafra land. “Also during President Jonathan’s tenure, Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu was given due attention and his family was recognized such that a national burial befitting of a gallant military leader was accorded him. “We are, therefore, wondering why Igbo governors of Abia, Ebonyi and Enugu states are celebrating him by inviting him to commission projects in their respective states.” Forums

Trump: Toyota Faces Big Tax if it Builds Corolla Cars for U.S. in Mexico

US President Elect Donald Trump On Thursday Turn His Attention To Toyota Motor, Threatening To Impose a Hefty Fee On Them If It's Corolla Car For US Market Is Build At Mexico Plant. "Toyota Motor said will build a new plant in Baja, Mexico, to build Corolla cars for U.S. NO WAY! Build plant in U.S. or pay big border tax," Trump said in a post on Twitter. This was Trump's latest broadside against automakers building cars in Mexico and first against a foreign automaker. The president-elect's attacks on investments by companies in Mexico have cast a shadow over cross-border production networks central to more than $583 billion a year in trade between the two countries.

Toyota, which announced its plan to build a new Mexican facility in April 2015, said the plant in Guanajuato city would not take away from U.S. employment. ...

New iPhone screen puts blue-colored spotlight on Japan supplier

The iPhone’s success has transformed the fortunes of dozens of suppliers, from glass manufacturers to the maker of robots that cut metal cases. Now, as Apple Inc. prepares to introduce a new smartphone with an OLED screen, a Japanese refiner better known for its chain of gas stations is about to join the list. Idemitsu Kosan Co. began experimenting with organic light-emitting diodes in the mid-1980s, seeking to reduce its reliance on petroleum after the global oil shock. Now, pick up Google’s latest Pixel smartphone or a Galaxy model from Samsung Electronics Co., and chances are the blue pixels on the OLED screens are built with Idemitsu’s materials or patents. Wider adoption of the advanced displays, which offer crisper images and use less battery power, is putting the spotlight on Japanese suppliers that up until now had virtually no stake in iPhone sales. Canon Tokki Corp., for example, has a near monopoly on the giant vacuum machines capable of making OLED screens. Dai Nippon Print...
