SEC Announces Exit of Oteh as Director-General
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Sunday announced the
exit of Ms. Arunma Oteh as the commission’s Director-General.
The commission made the disclosure in a statement issued by its
management and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in
Lagos.
It said Oteh would be remembered for her passion, purpose, articulation
and implementation of reform measures driven by the vision to transform
the Nigerian capital market into world class.
“She was in a hurry to see Nigeria achieve a world class capital market
that will drive development and make Nigeria one of the most attractive
investment destination,” it said.
Some of her accomplishments, according to the statement, included
restoration of investor confidence through strong enforcement actions
and improvement of rules and regulations and investor’s education.
“Under her leadership, the SEC also championed reforms at the Nigeria
Stock Exchange (NSE) that witnessed a more robust output and delivery in
its operator/oversight role,” the statement said.
The initiative to revamp NSE listing rules, it said, led to landmark
transactions in dual listing of SEPLAT Petroleum on the NSE and the
London Stock Exchange in April 2014, as well as the development of an
alternative securities market.

Easy Taxi Featured on CNN’s Africa Start-Up
Nigeria’s leading Taxi hailing company Easy Taxi has been
featured on CNN’s Africa Start-Up, a new programming strand that shines the
spotlight on African Start-ups and entrepreneurs on Sunday 26 2014.
This is a milestone for Easy Taxi, a taxi hailing app with
operations around the world which was founded in Nigeria by Bankole Cardoso.
The value proposition is straightforward and allows Nigerians
request a taxi from the comforts of their homes or offices.
“It’s as easy as the name is. I wanted it to be simple for
customers, very easy for users to download the app and request a taxi at a
click”, Cardoso stated on CNN Africa Start-up.
In the long run, Cardoso sees Easy Taxi changing the taxi
culture in Nigeria with hopes to standardize the pricing of taxis in the
country.
The taxi hailing app which started barely 6 months ago is
growing at a rapid pace. “Demand is catching on. I’m bringing a completely new
model, a completely new idea to Nigeria, it’s not where we want it to be yet
but it’s getting on” Cardoso added.
About
Easy Taxi
Easy Taxi
is a taxi hailing service that operates with the use of a mobile app to connect
independent drivers registered to the Easy Taxi network with passengers in a
smooth, easy and safe way. Easy Taxi began operations in Nigeria in July 2013.

Adoyi Ali: Letter to the Best President in Africa, Goodluck Jonathan..A MUST READ!!
"Dear Goodluck,
This
letter must not go through all the orthodox protocols of signing and
‘counter’ signing for acknowledgment. It must not be signed by Doyin and
Abati. I don’t need all that formality. I don’t want all that
bureaucratic presidential arrangements. All I desire, is to see this
letter before His Excellency. I don’t want Her Excellency around you
when you hurriedly run through the pages of my letter. Yes, I know you
can only flip through the pages because of some urgent National problems
calling for your attention. I warn against having Her Excellency around
because she may misquote me, even though I have decided to choose my
grammar carefully in order not to confuse anyone around you.
I
understand the situation in Aso villa. I also know that there is
confusion, and I don’t want to cause more confusion than it is now.
My
letter is only an appeal. But first, some grammar errors will be noted.
Sure! This is because, I put my thoughts together only this night. I
have to start writing immediately, so I don’t forget those ideas that I
have gathered at the spur of the moment. Unfortunately my lantern has
just gone off as I was unable to Queue up for Kerosene yesterday.
Mama
Nkechi who sells in bottles around my area has travelled for Christmas
already. You may be wondering why she decided to travel so early. She
gave me a hint on what many people are doing now, especially that
Christmas is around the corner. She doesn’t want to miss the opportunity
of spending Christmas with her people in the village. If she had waited
beyond now, fuel hike will frustrate her journey. Is she not a wise
woman for travelling earlier than now? “Ibo women no dey carry last”.
I’m saying this to say that my errors can be pardoned as I barely
managed to put my words in black and white. I’m sure, from where you are
also coming from, you understand what we face down here. After all, you
were ‘shoeless’ at one time. We don’t feel bad about the situation
anymore, and we don’t even hope for a change either. We have
acclimatised, I believe my child will do as well.
As
for me, I’m grateful to you for the recent job opportunity you have
created for us. I had been jobless for years, even before you took up
the mantle of leadership. That turn of event, that historical moment
also changed my story. Like other jobless youth, I now smile home with
daily allowances by just hawking fuel along the streets of Abuja. I must
commend your administration for this laudable achievement. I hate those
who continue to complain that you have not done anything. If they have
not benefited from your administration, I have. I pray your
administration continue to starve fuel dealers of stocks, so I can
continue to make great pay, or the oil marketers should continue in
their effort to sabotage the new policy. All that will benefit me.
Why
do people have to blame your policy makers for their battle with the
oil Marketers? They complain that NNPC should have made some alternative
arrangements if they were going to go after some heavy weights in the
oil industry. But should that bother you and your economic team. So long
as Ngozi, Maduekwe, and Sanusi have fuel to run with and the few of us
make profits from this hawking business, we are just okay. It doesn’t
matter if bus drivers and Okada men make their pay. Don’t be intimidated
by the cork and bull story of a possible upsurge in crime. “No send
them jor”. Boko Haram and other Armed bandits may not even have money to
put gasoline in their vehicles, so ignore all that warnings. Those
complaining are just some antagonists dreaming to take over from you one
day. We are with you in this battle. Thank God, I’m making my pay.
Any little opportunity is a great opportunity for me, whether it’s a good or bad one. We are all fighting for survival.
Apart
from the job opportunity, I want to also appreciate your government for
the recent improvement in the standard of education. Today, across the
country, both the literate and the illiterate can freely analyse your
government. They are grounded in what’s happening around them. Even an
unborn child who would prefer to have been born in Afghanistan knows the
situation down here. In this area, I would say you have tried in terms
of political awareness. Our children, both born and unborn are conscious
of the situation. They are so familiar with the words ” palliative”
“subsidy” “Boko Haram” “Bombing” “Shoeless” “on top of it” “Kidnapping”
etc. No government has ever achieved this. I congratulate you Sir.
Some
‘badbelle’ people keep complaining that Nigerians are dying because of
Boko Haram, and I wonder why they complain. Life and death, which do
they prefer? From my understanding, Boko Haram is a creation of some
concerned Nigerians to cut short the lives of suffering Nigerians. I
think it is an alternative created by the government. It’s an option;
you either choose to die by hunger or by Boko Haram. It’s really not
your fault my dear president. You have done well.
People
complain that we are no longer the giant of Africa, and I just wave off
their assertion. At least, I know that since you came into power, you
have displayed that we are still the ‘Giant’ as you continue to
sacrifice for our brother countries like Benin Republic and Togo. At
least we supply these countries enough electricity while Nigerians are
left to battle with high tariff and epileptic power supply. I appreciate
you because, they say that every hero dies for others. It doesn’t
matter what we face, but let our brothers in other neighbouring African
countries smile. You are a great man. You think of others before self.
Don’t
be scared, my dear president. No weapon fashioned against you will
prosper. You said things will change before 2015, but we don’t hope for
anything better than this, as we have lived like this for years, and
already use to the situation. We are ever ready to welcome any kind of
hardship. You are a true leader. We appreciate you. One GBOSA!
Yours in hardship, Adoyi Ali."
