What of a case where the person gets arrested only to keep trolling behind bars? Prison is an unregulated society. The known effective solutions to digital idiocy are reporting, blocking and ignoring.

This story is really inaccurate.

Neither of these two guys were accused of stealing or fraud, but rather not stopping fraudsters? But why has the same system not sent the CEO of Western Union and Moneygram to jail?

Why jail them? Why not fines? Do bank owners or managers get jailed because fraudsters keep money in their banks?.why havnt the managers of Western Union and Moneygram being jailed since all these years?

The story is 100% wrong. Neither of these two men stole any money. I know many grateful Nigerians who used Ping Express to support their loved ones in Nigeria to the anger of the Big 2 ( Western Union and Moneygram). How can you jail a bank MD because fraudsters have accounts with the bank? Something is seriously wrong here. Why have the MDs of Western Union and Moneygram not been jailed for all the billions fraudsters have sent through their companies? Oh I forgot those are not immigrant owned businesses. Worst case they will be given a fine. Or maybe it's because they are "small boys"

All the people who used Ping Express never gave a dime in cash to the company, they sent the money using their bank debit cards. So why have the managers of the banks from where the money came from not being charged?

People will think this is $167 million cash somewhere. No $167 million anywhere. That's the total of funds they legitimately sent on behalf of people.

$50, $100, $200 here and there from 30,000 customers over 5 years. I myself sometimes sent $15 and sometimes $300 or more.

The allegations is on the $1 million + sent by a Fraudster, Collins over a 3 year period. If Ping Express had not verified their customers properly; how would they have been able to track the Collins guy? But Ping did proper verification for all customers.

But the banks where the monies came from to Ping Express are not being questioned.
This is a company I used for years and people came to know.

They followed every rule.

I know the stress I went through to get verified before using their services; license, phone call etc, things I never had to do with Western Union.

They are not accused of fraud, but rather not stopping fraudsters. Then why jail time? To kill their business finally?

When will the CEO of Moneygram and Western Union that Yahoo Boys have been using for over 20 years to send money, be arrested and jailed? NEVER.

Western Union and Moneygram have lost probably billions in the last few Years with the arrival of companies like Ping Express that made sending money to Africa not only faster, but cheaper, direct to bank accounts and 24/7.

Western Union that used to be only available during banking hours. They changed quickly when Ping Express and the new guys positively disrupted the system.

This is really unfortunate.

All those factors are irrelevant, reason for his defeat is because he was given opportunity to prove himself in good governance but failed to impress people. There was no visible significant things he has done in remote towns and villages that people can point to. He started building roads in many remote towns and villages when election was approaching which people believe he was only doing that to canvass for election because he may soon abandon them.

He also abandoned good policies of Aregbesola without replacing them with convincing alternatives. Another reason why people voted him out is that he is too dull, no charisma like Aregbesola. Adeleke was only elected because APC did not provide better alternative. Adeleke is just given four years to prove himself if he has something better to offer beyond dancing. If he turns government house to club house or dancing hall, he will be sent packing in the same manner. People of Osun don't hate Tinubu, they just don't want bad product of Oyetola.

You might be surprised that by next year, Tinubu may gather above 80% of Osun votes, because they know him as personally competent, but they never want somebody to hide under him to grab second tenure after glaring non-performance from Oyetola

Mr Adeleke won in 17 of the 30 local government areas. He also won some local governments in the strongholds of the APC, such as Ilesa West and Ife North.

A video showing the moment the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Ademola Adeleke, prostrated for Adedeji Adeleke, father of Nigerian singer, Davido after the Independent National Electoral Commission declared him winner of the Osun governorship election has surfaced on social media.

Recall, the Returning Officer for the election and Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, announced that Adeleke got a total of 403,371 votes, beating the incumbent, Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress, who got 375,027 votes in a keenly contested race.

He said, “I declare Adeleke Ademola Jackson Nurudeen, on behalf of the chairman of INEC, of the PDP, having satisfied the requirement of the law, is hereby declared the winner and he is returned elected.”

According to the total votes recorded by the electoral umpire, the PDP won 17 of the 30 Local Government Areas of the state, while the APC won the remaining 13.

The PDP won in Ede North, Ede South, Ifelodun, Boluwaduro, Egbedore, Odo Otin, Osogbo, Ila, Atakumosa West, Olorunda, Ilesa West, Obokun, Oriade, Orolu, Ife North, Irepodun, and Ejigbo LGAs.

Reacting to the announcement, Ademola in excitement immediately went down on the floor, prostrating to his brother.

seunmsg:
This goes to show your lack of knowledge about how we roll in the SW. Majority of Osun people are Muslims and they voted for Adeleke who is a Christian. In fact, the Osun PDP ticket was a Christian-Christian ticket and nobody made an issue out of it. Religion was never a consideration in the election.

We don’t play the dirty and divisive politics of religion in the SW. Go to your SE and be playing your silly religious cards there.

Dominican singer, Nfasis, got married in a T-shirt and ripped jean shorts and this has made him go viral.

Not only was he so casually dressed for his big day, he also wore a straight face in all the photos.

On the other hand, his wife, Diana Vargas de Garcia, was fully dressed in a wedding gown with a veil and flowers.

Their daughters, who served as bridesmaids, were also dressed to the nines.

Diana shared a video of her husband's wedding entrance and added in the caption: "At least you should have worn a tie."

Nfasis and his wife have been together for years and they have two daughters. They are expecting a third child and Nfasis said on Facebook that it'll be another girl.

Below are photos from his wedding and reactions from Facebook users who had a problem with his outfit and straight face.

I do not really understand this obsession with the social media. Must everything be posted on the social media? This is obviously a private wedding.

Now he has posted it on the social media bringing unsolicited attention to his sojourn abroad again.

Was he not the one caught with drug by ndlea and convicted awhile back?

I hope he will just calm down and protect his new partner and family. Happy married life to the couple.

Agbado and Cassava are part of our stable diet here in Nigeria, there is nothing wrong in eating them.

These food don't come cheap and many of you eat them daily, who doesn't like cooked and roasted agbado and pear, so what is now wrong with eating Agbado and Cassava, apparently from Agbado and Cassava, you can get lot of processed food like african salad, garri, fufu,starch,corn flakes, flour etc. These are the foods, we eat daily.

A day without Agbado and Cassava is a day with Hunger.

For the first time in almost two decades, one U.S. dollar is equal to one euro.


After nearly 20 years of the euro being superior to the dollar, both currencies reached parity on Tuesday, July 12.

As at Tuesday, 1 EUR equals 1 USD. The shift means European companies and consumers will pay more for the goods and services they import, while European exports become immediately cheaper in international markets. The euro has experienced a dramatic loss of value since early February when it was worth over $1.13.

Euro and U.S. dollar have equal value for first time in 20 years

It comes as the European Union has seen inflation exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

EU and U.S. sanctions have reduced the flow of Russian oil into Europe, and the currency block is much more dependent on Russian energy than the U.S.




The euro first hit price parity with the dollar in December 1999, just less than a year after its debut at $1.17. For a turbulent three years surrounding the 2001 dot-com crash, the dollar remained stronger than the euro. Worried investors treated the US currency as a safe-haven asset to hold during the burst of the tech bubble. But after 2003, the euro has remained stronger than the US dollar.



The parity of both currencies is a sign that investors are worried that a looming economic crisis will seriously affect Europe.

spot-on!

Forgiveness is key, but I wonder how Japan is still being intensely used by the USA to checkmate China. They forgave those who nuke them and antagonize those(Chinese) they invaded their land.

No kwankwaso is 100% Hausa man from madobi kano state but over here in the north we don't discriminate,so! we called ourselves
Hausa/Fulani

Iamgrey5:
How you people formulate theories in the comfort of your rooms always surprises me

First of all, Kwakwoso dropped out of the Senatorial race because of Shekarau that has always defeated him. He knew that he might struggle to win and it will affect his resources when it came to the governship election.

Secondly, Kwakwoso popularity is mainly in Kano and while he seems to have some pocket of popularity elsewhere. He doesn't have the type of the respect Buhari commands among the Northerners. So the 2023 election will be a like street fight in the North.


Thirdly, Apc is likely to present Mallam Nuhu Ribadu in 2023, Nuhu has similar image to Buhari and he will be an easier sell among Christians in the North Central ahead of Nasir Elrufai. More importantly, Nuhu is a Fulani from the North East region where Apc enjoys a whopping 75℅ support.

Kemi Badenoch, in her pursuit to be UK’s next prime minister of the United Kingdom, has slammed Nigerian politicians as looters and dream killers.

Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Nigeria in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) Chairman, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has berated Nigerian-British Member of Parliament (MP), Kemi Badenoch, over her comments on Nigerian politicians.

She was responding to a comment by an Iyabo Awokoya on Twitter:


https://twitter.com/iyaboawokoya/status/1547477472823984128?t=fJ4tNAbRrAK8YTN0LfquNQ&s=19

Abike responded, “I am just as angry. I second your thoughts here and will keep my comments for a later date.”

seunmsg:
The socialism part of her speech is absolute nonsense. I can still accept the corruption part of her speech because it’s a reality we are dealing with but lying that Nigeria is practicing socialism that is sending millions to poverty and broken dreams is crassly ridiculous. It is the height of lamba.

This also goes to show that politicians are all lying scoundrels all over the world. They can say anything no matter how ridiculous and unnecessary to win election.

In Nigeria, a certain presidential candidate while addressing issues concerning physically challenged people told his audience that the best advice he got while serving as governor was from a mad man just to appeal to the physically challenged.

It is all politics and nothing else. However, she should be more circumspect next time. Using Nigeria for political clout doesn’t appear like something well thought out. Rishi Sunak and other aspirants with similar background like her did not use their country of birth for clout like her.

An old Ferrari described as a 'rustbucket' complete with missing seats and holes in the floor has sold for a massive £110,000.

The 1962 250 GTE model, which was originally bought by its owner in 1973 for £800 (£4,500 today) had been in storage in a leaking barn in west Wales for 40 years when it was rediscovered.

Inside, the two front seats are missing and its gearbox, the carpet had deteriorated and the radio and control column was hanging off, leaving wires exposed.

Due to the poor state of the barn it had been kept in, the outside blue body of the car was covered in a combination of rust and lichen.

The original owner had driven the car for 10 years before placing it in storage, where it sat ever since.
