RMD's SPECIAL PHONE + LAGOS BOY IS BACK!

Front or back, it works either way!






The Return of 'Lagos Boy'...


In October 2009, PDP chieftain, Olabode George, popularly known as Lagos Boy, was convicted along with four others on 63 counts of conspiracy,disobedience to lawful order, abuse of office and illegal awards of contracts worth 84 billion Naira while he was chairman of the National Ports Authority. That is say, the old man stole from Nigeria. He was sentenced to a two year jail term.




On Saturday, February 26 2011, Lagos Boy was released. A massive crowd cheered as he stepped out of Kirikiri and joined a convoy that carried him to the Cathedral Church of Christ for a thanksgiving service.



Among top politicians present at the church service were Otunba Gbenga Daniel, Ogun State governor; former President Olusegun Obasanjo; Mr. Ayo Fayose, former Ekiti State governor; Defence Minister, Prince Adetokunbo Kayode; the Minister of the Environment, John Odeh. 
At exactly 2:45 pm, Bode  George arrived his No. 18a, Luggard avenue residence in a black Toyota Land Cruiser SUV. George, who was accompanied by his wife Roli, was welcomed by party leaders and supporters. Dignitaries who thronged the Luggard Avenue residence of the PDP chieftain include: former governor of Ondo State, Dr Olusegun Agagu; former deputy governor of  Osun State, Chief Olusola Obada; Senator Florence Ita-Giwa; Chief Mrs Remi Adikwu Bakare; chairman of PDP in Lagos State, Mr Setonji Koshoedeo; Dr Ade Dosumu and Chief Deji Doherty. Banners, posters and T-Shirts had inscriptions such as: “You are welcome our amiable leader”, “Team Solution welcomes our great leader,” “The journey of a thousand miles can only be walked by giants”,“You are indeed a giant and courageous man,” “The Joseph of our time and Welcome back Uncle BG.” Also, to add colour to the party, the women wing adorned themselves in different attires just as band groups and musicians played to the enjoyment of those present.
"Authority people them go dey steal/ Public contribute plenty money/ Authority man no dey pickpocket/ Armed robber him need gun/ Authority man him need pen/ Authority man in charge of money/ Him no need gun, him need pen/ Pen get power gun no get/ If gun steal eighty thousand naira/ Pen go steal two billion naira/ Thief, thief, thief!" -Fela


"Poor man wey tief Maggi omo dem go show im face for crimefighte/ Rich man wey tief money omo we no dey see their face for crimefighter/ Rich man go dey halla pe Ah, MODUPE! Poor man go dey shout, Anwuola m ee!" -African China
