Island Club: Things fall apart

The prestigious Island club is at the moment fighting the battle of its life. The Club founded 67 years ago by fifty distinguished men is now immersed in leadership tussle.
The falcon can no longer hear the falconer, things are falling apart and members seemed ready for a big showdown.
The leadership crisis which started early this year as a result of disqualification of some members from contesting election into top positions of the club has assumed a dangerous dimension with factions plotting to take control of the club. Although, the Board of the club may have resolved to set up a caretaker committee which we gather will hold election within a three month period, but the fall out of the judgment of the Federal High Court in June which disqualified some members is also another factor in the crisis.  While those affected by the judgment wished that some certain aspect of the constitution relating to pardons and withdrawal of disciplinary action be expunged, some stood their ground objecting to the move.  As a result, the Half Yearly general meeting of the club held recently which was presided over by the chairman, Chief Olufemi Adeniyi Williams could not resolve this knotty issue. We gathered that while one faction is calling for another meeting, another faction is disclaiming it with the fear that the Chairman, Chief Williams might be suspended.  As the tussle for the soul of the famous club rages on, uncertainty looms.  We will keep you informed as development goes.

Jim Nwobodo ill?

Senator Jim Nwobodo

A couple of weeks ago, Senator Jim Nwobodo jetted out of the country.  He was hale and hearty. The 70 year bubbling politician may have gone to tidy up some business interest according to information reaching us.  But few days ago when Societywatch sought to know whether he's back in the country, we gathered that he is still abroad and probably decided to attend to his health.  Our checks revealed that from a conversation he had with him, it seemed the politician is not feeling well.  He might have seized the opportunity to see his doctors before returning home. The Savannah Bank debacle and other political issues at the home front are enough worries which demand high level of fitness to tackle.  As a man who had already planted his name in the psyche of his people, his contribution to the on-going political scheming might be needed.  That is more reason he has to return home soon.  Wishing him quick recovery.

November 9 presents another wedding anniversary for the blessed couple.  It was a special day she will always remember.  In celebrating the day, like the couple did last year, preparations for the romantic day have been sealed.  Hold your breath, this is strictly personal and it is coming up right there in London.  Source close to the queen hinted that just like the N6m Mercedes Benz C_class gift from her hubby in 2008, another big surprise would be unveiled to her at the celebration of the wedding anniversary.  Ivy was said to have confessed to friends that she couldn't have wished for a better husband.  That is instructive, you'd say.
