The Supreme Court has granted an order lifting the freeze on the assets of Kingston businessman Justin O’Gilvie. The assets were frozen in 2010 when the State also seized the assets of O’Gilvie’s associate Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke, who was about to be extradited to the United States on drugs and weapons charges. In the meantime, the order freezing Coke’s assets remains in effect.
The Assets Recovery Agency had gone to the Supreme Court contending that O’Gilvie was Coke’s business partner. It obtained an order seizing the assets of Coke, his relatives and his company – Presidential Click – as well as those of Justin O’Gilvie, Maxine O’Gilvie and two business places – Incomparable Enterprises Limited and Bulls Eye Security Service Limited. O’Gilvie argued that when he started the businesses, it was a requirement for him to have shareholders as part of the firm. But he said in 2004 when the Companies Act was amended, he removed Coke’s name from his company documents. O’Gilvie through his lawyers Paul Beswick and Kayode Smith went to the Supreme Court yesterday and got an order from Justice Lennox Campbell discharging the restraint order against their client and his businesses under the Proceeds of Crime Act. The judge has ordered the Assets Recovery Agency to notify in writing within seven days, all the parties on whom the restraint order was served that is has been removed. The judge says the Agency must tell the parties that there is not sufficient evidence to succeed in the claim against Ogilive. In the meantime, another case against O’Gilvie remains in the Sutton Street Resident Magistrate’s Court where the Assets Recovery Agency is seeking to forfeit $2.9 million belonging to him. The money was seized during a raid on O’Gilvie’s company Incomparable Enterprises. But O’Gilvie is claiming that the authorities actually removed $5.9 million which he legitimately earned from his business ventures. This would mean that $3 million is unaccounted for.

DEM SEERUS? LOL

IIsAnotherExhibitionE20121116C-OptimizedLA Lewis creates controversy in Nottingham
Jordane Delahaye, Sunday Gleaner Writer
A stickler for controversy, self-proclaimed “conceptional artist” LA Lewis is again inciting a maelstrom social unease with his latest “artistic” endeavour.
As part of a long list of events and activities geared towards Jamaica’s celebration of 50 years of independence, Nottingham’s New Art Exchange (NAE) is currently showcasing the second installation of its two-part ‘I is AnOther’ art exhibition.

Part one of the exhibition, which was launched on September 27, featured works from two Jamaicans – filmmaker Storm Saulter and acclaimed artiste Nari Ward. The exhibition also featured British painter Hurvin Anderson and, according to NAE, was meant to illustrate the ancestral and historical influence on Jamaican identity.
Part two of the exhibition was launched on the first of this month and features additional work from Jamaican artists Ebony G. Patterson and Peter Dean Rickards. Part two is said to be an exploration of contemporary influences on identity, including current politics and economics.
PART OF PORTFOLIO
LA Lewis is not a featured artist in the exhibition, but Rickards has included some of Lewis’ work among his own.
“I put him in the exhibit because I’ve done so much work on him over the years that he is indeed part of my own portfolio,” Rickards told The Sunday Gleaner.
Ironically, the piece that probably turns the most heads at the exhibition is a piece by Lewis titled ‘Head Less Tree’.
‘Head Less Tree’ is a graphic juxtaposition of three gold-painted skulls against a large almond tree stump painted black and red. The piece creates a profound imagery that Lewis describes as “spiritual art”.
Lewis claims he set out to combine past life and nature in an effort to transcend boundaries and “take art where it has never been brought before”. It is important to note that the skulls are real and, according to Lewis, they were found around the May Pen Cemetery area where skeletal remains are known to turn up after heavy rainfall.
Also included among Lewis’ work are a host of repurposed artefacts that would have otherwise been considered worthless. To contest whether or not Lewis’ work actually qualifies as visual art would, however, be a near-futile task, as some of the more “questionable” artists are always quick to point out that those who do not appreciate their work simply do not understand it.
Renowned art critic Clive Bell wrote that for any work to be considered visual art it must incite some aesthetic experience, producing what he calls “aesthetic emotion”. Bell proposes that a work’s artistic value is determined purely by its visual aspects and that the context, history or background of the work or the artist is completely unnecessary in this regard.
IS IT LEGAL?
The question, though, isn’t whether ‘Head Less Tree’ is truly a work of art, but rather if it is truly legal.
Rickards has also been stirring up his fair share of controversy within the British art society. The artist’s installation titled ‘Banksy Wall’ centres around a demolished piece of wall which was apparently branded by the pseudonymous and equally controversial British artist – Banksy.
Known for his creative and usually tongue-in-cheek vandalism, Banksy had apparently done a variation of his now-famous ‘Balloon Girl’ on a wall in Mona, St Andrew, back in 2004.
Four years later, Rickards paid roughly US$1600 to have the wall removed, to have it sold to the highest bidder, after hearing about other Banksy items that have sold for what he describes as “a ridiculous amount of money”.
Unfortunately, Banksy had set up a verification service called Pest Control to prevent people from “stealing” his creations off the street and selling them. So when no sale came, Rickards was stuck with a seemingly worthless, large piece of wall, sitting in his uncle’s garage.
Rickards’ installation at the exhibition is somewhat of a recreation of how the wall was stored and treated while it was in his possession, and features a projected video footage of the removal of the wall. The wall has been further smashed for the exhibition, and Rickards says that this was to reinforce that it was not at all about Banksy.
“The installation is about the perception of people (drunk Jamaicans, including myself), who never saw the wall as a great piece of art, but as a object that white people in the UK (and Brad Pitt) would probably pay tremendous amounts of money for,” Rickards writes on his blog ‘The Afflicted Yard’.
Rickards’ ‘Banksy Wall’ has been featured on BBC and the artist says that after the exhibition the wall is likely to be sold.
“We’ve had enquires, but anyone who buys it has to buy the entire exhibit, which includes a lot of junk that was hand-picked from the Riverton City dump and sent in the same crate that the wall was shipped,” Rickards told The Sunday Gleaner.

SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS



Self-righteousness is one of the hardest sins to avoid because it is so much easier to see other peoples faults than to see our own faults. Rather than look for faults in others, we should look for the good in others and try to correct the faults within ourselves. Jesus’ comical parable of a person with a board in his eye trying to see to remove a speck from another’s eye reminds us that we probably have bigger faults within ourselves (including self-righteousness) than the faults we would criticize in others:
“Don’t criticize, and then you won’t be criticized. For others will treat you as you treat them. And why worry about a speck in the eye of a brother when you have a board in your own? Should you say, ‘Friend, let me help you get that speck out of your eye,’ when you can’t even see because of the board in your own? Hypocrite! First get rid of the board. Then you can see to help your brother. (TLB, Matthew 7:1-5)
Don’t criticize and speak evil about each other, dear brothers. If you do, you will be fighting against God’s law of loving one another, declaring it is wrong. But your job is not to decide whether this law is right or wrong, but to obey it. Only he who made the law can rightly judge among us. He alone decides to save us or destroy. So what right do you have to judge or criticize others? (TLB, James 4:11-12)
We should not infer that criminal activity should go unrestrained or unpunished: the laws of Moses had strong sanctions for criminal acts, and the Bible strongly supports civil governments. However, we are reminded that judgment is reserved for God and we should concentrate on correcting our own faults rather than criticizing others for their faults.

WTF AFRICA- HOUSEMAID KILLS HUSBAND AND TEK OVA

Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Police Command, Ngozi Braide
The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a manager and a housemaid for killing their boss, Alhaja Sikirat Eko, in Omole Phase 1, Lagos State.
Eko was said to be running a restaurant and bar in her compound, where she lived alone with the maid.

According to the police authorities, the suspects allegedly killed Eko at her home located on 5, Babatunde Ladega Street and kept her corpse within the premises.

The suspects were said to have continued to run the restaurant, giving neighbours and customers the impression that the deceased had travelled.

The two were said to have run out of luck when relatives of the deceased came on a visit. When the suspects could not provide a satisfactory answer, the matter was said to have been reported at Area G Command, in Ogba.

A police source who preferred to remain anonymous, told our correspondent that the manager threw Eko into a well inside the compound along with a generator.

The manager was said to have taken her phone which he used in impersonating her.

“The manager was using the deceased’s phone and assumed her identity. Sometimes, he would send text messages with her phone, telling people that all was well”, he said.

It was learnt that when the house was thoroughly searched, Eko’s corpse was found in a decomposing state.

A family friend, who preferred to remain anonymous, said, “Mummy (Eko) has just one child and she lives in the United Kingdom. When she could not get her mother on the telephone, she called relatives to help her find out what was wrong.

“When the relatives got there, the manager told them that she had travelled. The relatives became suspicious because the house was left open and the manager behaved as if he was the owner of the house. The relatives then reported the matter to the police.”
Our correspondent, who visited the area on Thursday, observed that the gate of the premises was locked.
A security guard in the area said Eko hadn’t been seen by neighbours in over two months.
The security guard described the deceased as a very nice but strict woman.
p
He said, “The last time we saw madam (Eko) was during Sallah. When we asked the housemaid her whereabouts, she said she had travelled to Abuja. I became suspicious because her vehicle was still parked outside the compound.

“It wasn’t until Saturday when policemen stormed the area that we knew what had happened. Policemen arrested about five of us, thinking that we were among but fortunately, the manager and the maid confessed.

“The incident is very sad because madam (Eko) was a very nice person. There was one time that my motorcycle was seized. She was the one that urged the police to give it back to me.”
When contacted on the telephone, the spokesperson for the state police command, Ngozi Braide, confirmed the incident to our correspondent.

Braide said the manager was the one who planned the killing. She added that the two would be paraded before journalists on Friday (today).

“The two suspects have confessed to the crime and they will be paraded before journalists on Friday,” she said.
