Reno Omokri Scolds Tacha For Referring To One Of Her Critics As A "Lazy Nigerian
Youth"
Reno Omokri has condemned Tacha for referring to her critic as a lazy Nigerian
youth, IgbereTV reports.
Tacha had gone on Twitter to call for an end to SARS while stating that Nigerians
need to protest on the streets, not just on social media.
When she didn't go out to protest, a Twitter user @sayo_law called her out for
it, writing: "So Tacha didn't lead a protest today? Disappointing"
Reno reacted by telling Tacha to be humble because those same lazy youths are
the ones who voted for her when she went for the Big Brother Naija reality show
last year.
He wrote:
"That may well be true. But remember that these same ‘lazy’ Nigerian youths
went out of their way to promote you from obscurity to prosperity. A little
gratitude won’t be out of place. I agree that celebrities should not be maligned
or blackmailed into championing things they don’t have a passion for. No one
should force you to lead a protest. However, those whose palm kernels were
cracked by a benevolent spirit should not forget to be humble."

Court Orders Tinubu To Appear Within 42 Days Over Alpha Beta
~4.0 mins read
Tinubu boasted that Magu would protect him, says Alpha Beta ex-MD
‌
…Firm controlled by Tinubu gets 10% of Lagos tax
A former Managing Director of Alpha Beta Consulting, Mr. Oladapo Apara, has
sued the company, a former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu; and the
current Managing Director of the firm, Akin Doherty; before a Lagos State High
Court, Igbosere.
In the writ of summons marked LD/7330GCMW/2020, Apara asked the
respondents to appear within 42 days or judgment may be given in their
absence.
Apara had in a petition addressed to the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, accused the company of N100bn fraud but two years after, the
EFCC had yet to take action.
In his statement of claim, the former Alpha Beta boss said Tinubu boasted
that the then acting Chairman of the EFCC, Mr Ibrahim Magu, would protect
him.
He wrote, “The 2nd defendant (Bola Tinubu) also warned the claimant not to
even think of exposing his involvement in the financial affairs of the 1st
defendant (Alpha Beta) to the EFCC as the then acting Chairman of EFCC,
Ibrahim Magu, will always protect him (Tinubu).â€
Apara also narrated how Alpha Beta was formed in 2002 when Tinubu was still
the governor.
The claimant said he was the one who came up with the idea of a consulting
firm helping the state government to track and reconcile taxes.
Apara said Tinubu accepted the proposal but gave many conditions including
that his own people would own 70 per cent stakes in the company.
The former Alpha Beta boss said Tinubu nominated Adegboyega Oyetola and
one Olumide Ogunmola
He stated, “The claimant avers that following the presentation of his proposal
to the Lagos State Government, the 2nd defendant (Tinubu) who was at the
time the Governor of Lagos State demanded that 70 per cent equity interest in
the project be assigned to a certain Olumide Ogunmola before the 2nd
defendant will approve the project.
“The claimant avers that he then met the said Olumide Ogunmola (who he had
never met before) and it was agreed that a limited liability company be
incorporated in which the claimant will hold 30 per cent shares while Olumide
Ogunmola and his partners will hold 70 per cent of the shares of the company.
“The claimant avers that following the agreement alluded to above; Alpha Beta
Consulting Limited was incorporated in 2002 with the following shareholders:
Dapo Apara (30 per cent), Olumide Ogunmola (40 per cent) and Adegboyega
Oyetola (30 per cent).â€
He said Tinubu later directed that Oyetola’s shares be transferred to one
Tunde Badejo.
Apara stated that Tinubu controlled the company which was receiving 10 per
cent of the tax collected on behalf of the state.
He said due to the technological innovation that was deployed by him, the
Internally Generated Revenue of the state grew from N10bn per annum in
2002 to N300bn in 2019.
The claimant stated that in 2010 or thereabout, Tinubu directed that the
incorporation structure of the Alpha-Beta Consulting Ltd be changed from a
limited liability company to a limited liability partnership under a newly
promulgated law in Lagos State.
He said the aim of the move was to shield Tinubu’s involvement from public
scrutiny.
Olumide Ogunmola was named the managing partner of the newly transformed
company while Apara became deputy managing partner.
The claimant said in 2014, Tinubu asked Ogunmola to step aside while he was
named managing partner.
Apara said as the head of the company, he began looking into its finances
and he made many startling discoveries such as mysterious transfers of over
N20bn in different currencies to several companies including payment of N1bn
to Vintage Press, publishers of The Nation newspaper; and Lagoon Press
Limited, publishers of National Life Newspaper.
The former Alpha Beta boss said he realised that all the payments were
sanctioned by the partners nominated by Tinubu and they were done without
his knowledge contrary to the terms of their partnership.
He stated, “N550million payment to Ocean Trust Ltd vide payment instruction
dated the 15/5/18 (h) N850million payment to Ocean Trust Ltd vide payment
instruction dated the 14/3/15; (i) N1 billion in Afkar printing Press together
with Vintage Press Limited and Lagoon Press Limited in October 2017.â€
The claimant said N960 million was spent on purchasing HITV’s 300,000,000
shares.
Apara stated that Tinubu was furious that he was looking into the company’s
finances and ordered that he be demoted to deputy managing partner.
He said he refused to obey this order and this led to a feud between both of
them.
The former Alpha Beta boss said he was forcefully removed from office while
Tinubu’s former Commissioner for Finance, Doherty, was named the new head
of the company.
He said since his illegal removal, he had been denied of his dividends as a
founding partner of the company and asked the court to order full payment
of his entitlements.
