Billionaires At War! Why Captain Hosa Okunbor Is Fighting Kola Karim

When the gods fight, the earth trembles! This is a better way to describe what is going on between the Chairman of Ocean Marine, Captain Hosa Okunbor and Ibadan billionaire, Kola Karim.
In the real sense of it both men are billionaires, they are captain of industries and they both earn their marks and trade in the oil business, they were both good friends not until recently when the devil decided to test their friendship.
Insiders revealed that Captain Hosa was said to have brought a juicy business plan to Kola Karim, a pipeline contract and they both agreed to partner and share the gains and loss of the business.
Captain Hosa offered to handle the security part of the business and over charged to the tune of about $5M.
Karim was said to have quickly pointed that out and thought the mistake could be corrected in their usual friendly way, but no, the licensed Captain would have none of that. ‘my word is final’ he said.
Kola called a management meeting of his Shoreline company, they all agreed he should pull out of the deal.
Hosa detailed the report where he alleged that Kola enjoyed a robust relationship with the embattled former petroleum Minister, Allison Deziani whom he dumped when she ran into troubled waters. He also alleged Karim of different fictitious atrocities in the country’s oil and gas sector.
It was widely believed that the report was targeted at giving Kola Karim a bad reputation in the eyes of the Buhari/Osinbajo government.
Karim over the years has built his reputation and is in the good book of the present government.
Captain Hosa Okunbor is hell bent on seeing Kola goes down. A source revealed he has taken another shot at him as he moves to the United Kingdom where he knows Kola has many friends, associates and investments to spread the tale.
In the heat of the matter, Kola was said to have kept his calm, obviously with the knowledge that he has a lot to lose and extending an olive leaf to Captain Hosa.
Another factor many believed must have ruined their friendship was the choice of candidates the oil barons are backing for 2019 presidential election.
While Okunbor is rooting for the comeback of President Buhari, Karim wants Atiku and he had made a bold step of his support by committing $30M to Atiku’s campaign.

Parrot Xtra Publisher Celebrates Hassan Fatungase At 60

Publisher of Parrot Xtra Magazine/PMParrot.com, Olayinka Agboola has sent out expressive greetings to his long-time friend and brother, Alhaji Hassan Taiwo Fatungase, former Bakers’ World, Ikeja, Lagos Director on the occasion of his 60th birthday anniversary.
In a statement personally signed by Agboola, former Nigeria Coordinator for Ovation International Magazine described Alhaji Hassan Fatungase as the most selfless Nigerian he has ever encountered.
Agboola continued, “Hassan is not only selfless, he is intelligent, forward looking, hard-working, vibrant, resourceful, compassionate and above all, very God-fearing.”
The Ibadan-based media entrepreneur then went ahead to submit that the astute technocrat is a man who appreciates human beings and the value of friendship.
“Those who attended the University of Lagos with him in those days will attest to it that ‘Fatuu’, as he used to be called then would sacrifice anything to keep a working-relationship.
“Even when he joined one of the five-star hotels in Abuja in the early 90s, it did not take long before he was promoted to become the very first African to occupy a managerial position before he joined the Bakers’ World family business in Lagos. His records are still there till today.
Feats At Bakers’ World
“While running Bakers’ World located on Allen Avenue in Ikeja, Lagos, journalists, broadcasters, creative young Nigerians and others were encouraged by him. The records are also there for people to verify. There is almost no big name in the entertainment/media industry in Nigeria today that has not directly and/or indirectly benefitted from Hassan’s large-heartedness. As a matter of fact, he used to settle quarrels when differences and ‘head-on-collisions’ were reported to him!”
Agboola also went ahead to describe how the celebrant of the day has been faring since he became the chairman of Abimbola Awoliyi Estate, Oko-Oba in Lagos where he presently lives.
“Hassan is team-player and a man who keeps improving in good-naturedness even as a semi-retired bureaucrat. Residents of Awoniyi Estate will tell his story better. Since he became the chairman some three years ago, living standards have since improved.
“Together with other executive members, the Estate has been winning awards as one of the best in the whole of Lagos State. Solar lights, good roads, fibre-optic-source of internet, faultless security architecture and enhanced sociability…and other achievements have been recorded by the Fatungase-led team.”
Agboola, who was also a pioneer staff at Thisday Newspaper concluded “Dear friends and colleagues, please join me to pray for this quintessential lover of fairness and equity. May Allah continue to be with him, grant him sound health, more prosperity, divine protection and long life. May his wonderful family comprised of ‘Iyalaje’ Doyinsola and the children- Tomisin, Ahmed, Ibrahim and Idris continue to enjoy divine grace too. Happy birthday to our Director at Parrot Xtra Media Network, many happy returns of this day, September 26.”
