I'm new here so forgive me if I'm asking a question that has already been asked. I checked and couldn't find any answers so I decided to ask.
Does anyone know of any legit way to transfer money from a US bank account to a Nigerian bank account? I'm asking for any alternatives to Western Union, Moneygram and wire transfers. And if possible, I'm also hoping to get a better exchange rate than the normal bank rate.

Thanks! Any help will be greatly appreciated!

CBN ordered them to reduce the transfer fees to a maximum of 50 Naira.
And the deadline was May 1st. Most of the banks didn't comply until some days after.

why not just send an email to them, quoting your username and asking them to change it for you.

Even the slow Mack and Dangote trucks are massacring people. How much more when their semi-trained drivers lay hands on a truck that moves as quickly as a 'sports car?' Lets pray they delay before entering Naija.

cu is the educational arm of the ministry indirectly an extension of the ministry,the same law applies, they set their rules as they deemed fit in line with their vision how can you subject a private institution to public laws? Have you gone through their rules and regulations and their core values? These are the requirements the students are all aware of and penalties applicable upon violation, do you know cu rank above most federal universities? What's the difference.. Standard, they can't compromise on it. The rules governing private institutions are a bit extreme compared to public institutions that's why it's private and faith based at that

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) suffered a major setback in the trial of Colonel Nicholas Ashinze and three others in an alleged N3billion unlawful transfer as the Federal High Court in Abuja suspended the case over an alleged falsehood and media trial engaged by the anti-graft agency against the military officer.

Ashinze was Military Assistant to former National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (Rtd). Counsel to Ashinze, Mr. Ernest Nwoye, had at the resumed trial protested the press statement issued by EFCC in which the defendant was reported to have been indicted by the court for diverting and misappropriating a whopping sum of N36billion. Apart from the alleged N36bn said to have been diverted and misappropriated, the EFCC statement also referred to serving Colonel Ashinze as a retired officer.

The counsel who drew the attention of Justice Gabriel Kolawole to the offending EFCC press statement, tendered the statement and the newspaper publications at the court to establish bias and misrepresentation of the court proceeding of March 7, 2017 by the anti-graft agency. Nwoye told the Judge that Colonel Ashinze was never charged by EFCC for any offence on N36billion diversion and misappropriation and wondered where EFCC Media team, that was not present in the court, got its proceeding that the defendant had been indicted for the amount. The counsel urged the Court to frown at Media Trial the defendant is being subjected to as such action if not checked, will lead to misrepresentation of facts by the general public.

Nwoye also tendered newspaper publications that emanated from the EFCC press statement issued by one Mr. Wilson Uwujare who claimed to be the Head of Media and Publicity in the EFCC. Nwoye said that both the complainant and the defendant are bound by court records of proceeding and any attempt by one of the parties to concoct lies to prejudice the order is against the rule of law and natural justice.

Justice Kolawle who was taken aback by the EFCC’s press statement asked the EFCC counsel, Mr Ofem Uket if he was aware of the press statement and if he ever issued any. The EFCC counsel denied ever granting press interview in respect of the trial but admitted receiving letter of complaint from Nwoye and that he consulted with EFCC and discovered that the Press Statement was actually released to the media. Uket, in his defence said that contrary to the charge of N3billion alleged transfer, evidence from witnesses have shown that about N5billion was involved. However, Justice Kolawole who was not impressed by the argument of the EFCC’s counsel told him that the proceeding would have to stop pending the time the EFCC would put its house in order by stopping to mislead the public on court proceedings. Justice Kolawole in a short ruling on the protest from Barrister Nwoye said that “It is unfair for EFCC as a complainant in this trial to resort to self-help by engaging the defendant in the media trial at the same time in the court trial. “If you want to try the defendant in the media, you have to limit yourself to the media. You have to stop misleading the public in the fact of this trial. Let me say it for the sake of emphasis that EFCC must stop the use of journalists to distort proceedings in my court. You cannot be engaging in two trial: one in the court and one in the media at the same time. If you are not satisfied with my decision to stop this trial pending the time the EFCC retract this offending press statement of my court proceeding, then you can take your case to another court “This press statement by one Wilson Uwujare who claimed to be from EFCC is scandalous and prejudice to fair trial of the defendant in this matter. “In order to prevent media and court trial at the same time with one misrepresenting the order, I have stopped this trial pending the time the EFCC retracts the offending press statement. The trial of the defendant has nothing to do with N36billion diversion and misappropriation. “The retraction has to be done between now and April 13, 2017. And this EFCC witness is hereby ordered to step down from the witness box and come back on April 13, 2017 “The court proper proceeding cannot materialise where records and facts of the case are being distorted by EFCC that is even the complainant in the matter.” It would recalled the EFCC, had arraigned the quartet of Colonel Nicholas Ashinze, an Austrian, Wolfgang Reinl; Edidiong Idiong and Sagir D. Mohammed before Justice Gabriel Kolawole of the Federal High Court, Abuja on a 13-count charge of corruption and money laundering to the tune of N3.1bn. The defendants however denied the charges preferred against them. Ashinze and other defendants were arraigned alongside five companies accused of allegedly diverting huge sums from the office of the former NSA. The companies are: Geonel Integrated Services Limited, Unity Continental Nigeria Limited, Helpline Organization, Vibrant Resource Limited and Sologic Integrated Services Limited.

In a media presentation today, Mavin Records CEO Don Jazzy and Dele Odufuye CEO of Tsaboin launched Flobyt WiFi as co-founders.

Flobyt is a free WiFi service installed across partner locations in Lagos like eateries, parks, taxis, buses, restaurants, cafés and many other businesses. The service is free for patrons of a business who wish to access the internet while in the premises of the patron locations. The internet router itself is a plug-and-play device that, according to the founders, does not require much technical know-how to operate.



There is no charge to use Flobyt WiFi, all it takes is to walk into a partner outlet, patronise them and use the internet without restrictions.



According to Dele Odufuye,

Flobyt is 100% free for the users and our partner locations, all you have to do is walk in and log in. In fact, our working slogan is ‘Don’t use your data, use ours’

Free WiFi in a public place is not the safest avenue to share your private and personal information. On security concerns, Dele said security protocols were in place for regular authentication and automatic disconnection of any middle man [hacker].

On the business side of things, Flobyt WiFi works by serving users a few ads during their session while granting unrestricted access. Flobyt is not the first attempt at a free WiFi solution in Nigeria, but the co-founders have faith that it would be the only enduring one. Speaking Dele said,

We know that this is not the first free WiFi proposition in Nigeria. However, we have state of the art technology, speed, security and speed to make it an enduring one

Don Jazzy enthused over the solution with much optimism. He hinted at a few tech investments, stating that Flobyt was not his only investment in 2017, but that he had incredible confidence in it.



Flobyt WiFi is currently installed in various locations across Lagos mainland and island and can accommodate 10 – 30 users at a time. For locations with higher traffic, Flobyt Max can take up to 80 concurrent users at one time.

Businesses and users can nominate their location to be hosts free of charge to Flobyt WiFi by filling out a form on the website.

The company plans to take its services to other parts of Nigeria, through West Africa and ultimately throughout Africa giving the public access to free internet while providing value for the business owners.
