Boko Haram’s leader Abubakar Shekau has mocked President Muhammadu Buhari in a new audio message released on August 15, Saturday. In the 8-minute audio message purported to be from Shekau, the speaker who introduced himself in the Hausa language as the “leader of the west Africa wing ” of Islamic State (IS), defined President Buhari as an ostentatious liar who they will definitely fight. It should be noted that Buhari, who came into power on May 29 promising to end Boko Haram had last week ordered his army chiefs to end the insurgency in three months.
But Shekau has pledged to continue to fight on until the sharia law is established in every part of Nigeria. He said: “This ostentatious person, a liar — I mean Buhari, who raised arms to crush us in three months. You Buhari, why didn’t you say in three years?” “We will certainly fight you by the grace of Allah until we establish Allah’s law everywhere on Earth.” The Boko Haram leader also rebuffed claims by the Chadian leader Idriss Deby that he is dead. Some Nigerians reacting to the audio message purportedly from of Shekau doubted the authenticity of the speaker because there was no video footage.

We are 100 per cent in support of your fight against corruption in the country,” he said. Abubakar stated that traditional rulers had been instrumental in the maintenance of security in their various communities.

Ghanaian actress, Vivian Okyere, popularly known as Tundra, says that her pastor advised her to use her buttocks to lead people to Christ. The actress made this known during an interview with NEWS-ON where she insisted that her big behind is actually natural but makes her feel guilty sometimes.

According to Vivian:
Sometimes I feel guilty about my butts and the way men lust after them. I was once walking by the New Town road in Accra and one guy driving a vehicle looked at me till he almost caused an accident.
I felt bad about it. My pastor told me I can attract men with my butts and preach to them about God to accept Christ in their lives...

The Academic Board of Yaba College of Technology, Yaba, Lagos, has expelled 73 students of the college for presenting suspected forged results. A statement issued by the college made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday said that the affected students were those pursuing part-time programmes for National Diploma and Higher National Diploma. Signed by the Deputy Registrar of the college, Mrs Titilayo Obadimu, the statement said the affected students registered for 2013/2014 academic session. According to the statement, the results are discovered during the verification exercise of Senior Secondary School Certificates and National Diploma results. It said further that 46 students for National Diploma and 27 students for Higher National Diploma were affected. “All affected students are advised to hand the property of the college in their possession, including student identity cards, to their various heads of department, the librarian and the dean of students’ affairs with immediate effect,’’ it said. Mr Charles Oni, Head, Public Relations Unit of the college, told NAN that the college had zero tolerance for all forms of malpractices and social vices. He said that all documents presented for admission into the college were always subjected to rigorous screening. He, therefore, urged prospective students to steer clear of malpractices, including results’ forgery. (NAN)

INTROVERT:
long

bro d article is actually longer than dat.

I am moved to write this piece after reading an article in the VANGUARD of Thursday, August 6, 2015 by Is’haq ModibboKawu titled, “ Bukola Saraki in Maiduguri: Tentative first steps for 2019 Presidency”. It is evident that the article reeks of hate and seems aimed at either getting President Buhari to regard Saraki his enemy, or fortifying whatever grievances might exist, if that is the case.

That is sad, because in no way does that motive contribute to nation-building, and in no way does it help Buhari whom history will ultimately hold responsible for what becomes of Nigeria from May 29, 2015. It is true we are in a democracy and people should have freedom of communication, but I believe we should exercise some self-control in the enjoyment of the freedom. I do not know the author in person or even by reputation, but I bet he seems to have some personal ‘agro’ against Saraki. I met Saraki sometime in 2011 after he became Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Environment. I as well as others in the civil society engaged with environmental issues in Nigeria were pleasantly surprised to be invited by that Committee for interaction. Saraki sat through the meetings with a note book in which he took copious notes as people made contributions. He also enriched the conversations by asking poignant questions. He was very civilized and we had the impression that he is educated in the real sense. It was this very positive impression that Saraki made upon my colleagues and I that encouraged my organization and others to take a closer look at the state he had just left as governor. About that time, some international organizations asked us to advise on states towards which they could direct their interest in development activities. From our analysis, Kwara was highly recommended. The points that counted for Kwara included accessibility by air from Lagos/ Ibadan and Abuja, having minimal security challenges, and a very positive civil service and receptive government. I am not sure how much of these were put in place by the governments before Saraki became governor of Kwara State. We subsequently took specific projects into rural communities in the state. Before doing that we approached his office in the Senate, and were introduced to an officer who took responsibility to lead us into Kwara. The government of that state received us in a very professional manner. Kwara was one of six states in which we unveiled the National Adaptation Strategy on Climate Change. During this period, Saraki’s name resonated so much in urban as well as rural areas of the state. With respect to the article I read which I consider unfair, there are some specific observations to make and I itemize few out of the lot of them as they appear in that article. The first is the title of the article: “Bukola Saraki in Maiduguri: Tentative first steps for 2019 Presidency”. My reaction would be that if truly Saraki’s Maiduguri trip is part of his seed planting towards the 2019 presidency of Nigeria, then it is commendable. Nigeria can ill-afford a reluctant President in 2019, or whatever other year for that matter. We’d rather an aspirant that has his sleeves rolled up and is tirelessly working towards actualizing his dream than one that suddenly wakes up one morning in 2019 to tell us that he is running for presidency in response to pressures from his people. Better to have presidential aspirants with hunger in their bellies and fire in their eyes which are fixed on a faraway goal than have 2019 overnight microwave presidential aspirants that treat the race to our much- cherished Aso Rock Presidential Villa like an after-thought. The author had complained about the fact that “… most newspapers carried a syndicated picture of the ‘august visitor’ waving to the IDPs.” To that I ask, is that strange? Isn’t that what you see in governments including more mature democracies? What is wrong with this, one dares ask? The author further inveighed that Saraki’s ultimate goal “remains presidency and he can’t even wait for 2019 before beginning to show his hands”. To this I say only a fool interested in 2019 presidency will wait till 2019 to start showing his hands. Is the office of the President of Nigeria not serious enough to warrant long- term thought and work? President Buhari provides a good and recent example of a long- distance runner in the presidency race and if, as the writer of that article tried to portray, Saraki’s Maiduguri trip was indeed his first step in a four- year marathon, then it should be a plus, not a minus as the writer inveighed. People with political ambitions should be encouraged to show their hands early. That way, the society gets them to act with a greater sense of responsibility than might have otherwise been the case. Another difficult assertion to accept is to the effect that the distinguished senator “is fighting a battle against public perception because in many quarters in Nigeria, he has not been able to live down the feeling that he betrayed his party”. To this I say perhaps “many quarters” but certainly not majority of Nigerians share this sentiment. I believe majority of Nigerians prefer inclusive broad-based governance that reflects the country’s diversity, rather than governments that are highly skewed and based on an ideology of exclusion of sections of the country. The writer’s anger was revealed the more when he stated that Saraki “remains defiant and continues to ignore the APC and PMB’s openly expressed preference that APC senators bow to party supremacy; he fills positions with members of his own group, daring the party and PMB to do the worst!” I see this as simply meant to incite. Sensible Nigerians remember President Buhari’s statement after the election of the Senate President and Speaker House of Representatives on June 9, 2015. Our much respected President took the view that a constitutional process occurred. He accepted those elected, and said that he did not have any preferred candidates for the Senate and the House of Representatives leadership, and that he was willing to work with whomever the lawmakers elected. The Presidency is a serious office and cannot issue public statements that are meant for nothing. It is an honourable office and Nigerians want to believe it ended with that. If the President goes on after that date and that statement to antagonize Saraki, that is a minus for Buhari among honourable people. I refuse to believe the hidden insinuation of that writer that our President who is noted point above is another vexatious one which stated that Buhari publicly ignored the Senate President at the Abuja Eid praying ground. To this I wail, the Nigerian President publicly ignoring the Nigerian Senate President elected within the laws of Nigeria as acknowledged by the Nigerian President! Who loses? Who becomes a smaller man by that, if that was really the case? Anyway, I doubt that it’s fact. He further asserted that Saraki missed the photo-op with President Barack Obama by not accompanying Buhari to the United States. This can’t be serious. How many times have we seen Senate Presidents going on foreign trips with a country’s President? That “…Bukola Saraki, unable to secure an audience with PMB, was corralling the Emir of Ilorin to service to find every opportunity for him to get to see the President.” This is commendable. He who seeks peace means well. That “…he nevertheless continues to defy the same President and party in respect of the extant problems arising from his demarche on June 9.” Shaking my head in disbelief, I ask: But where is the proof of defiance to the President? Has Buhari asked Saraki to resign as Senate President? Or is this suggestive of a possibility that the statement issued after the election of Saraki as Senate President was not with the knowledge of the President? Is there a crack in the Presidency? The apparently angry writer complained that OlisaMetuh of the PDP had asserted that they were working for Saraki’s return to the PDP. Now, I wonder what is strange about that. I would expect PDP to work for the return of not only their former members, but other senior APC members as well. Recall that APC lured them away from PDP. What is wrong with PDP doing the same? The writer also accused Saraki of “… embarking on the next chapter of his own personal agenda for presidency…” But who, among the big names in Nigerian politics, does not have a personal agenda? Is it Buhari, Tinubu, Atiku, or who? What is peculiar with Saraki having a personal agenda? The following comment in the article is perplexing: “…instead of working to further enhance the North-Southwest alliance, these shortsighted and opportunistic Northern politicians who bought into Bukola Saraki’s anti-Tinubupropaganda endanger PMB’s CHANGE Agenda and willy-nilly, have become as disruptive as Bukola Saraki and are working for his personal agenda NOT the interest of Northern Nigeria or those of our country, in the long run.” This, to say the least, is scandalous. Is Mr Kawu by any means implying that the whole essence of Buhari’s government is to exclude two of Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones? Federal Character and inclusiveness are products of Nigeria’s political history, and Constitution which the President swore to uphold. Is he stating that Buhari is implementing a policy of exclusion? That frightful comment forces one to compare what PDP did for geopolitical zones in which they did not do well in presidential elections with what the author appears to certify the APC as doing now. Is it possible that a trend has emerged with two contending visions/ideologies – those who want an inclusive Nigeria (PDP and APC elements like Saraki and Dogara), versus the APC apostles of exclusion? The writer had asserted that, in his own words, “By getting Ike Ekweremadu into the loop as Deputy Senate President, and contrary to the norms of Senate in respect of ranking, also making Godswill Akpabio Minority leader, BukolaSaraki will claim his political IOU in 2019”, Not done yet, he added that Saraki will “posture as having given the South-East and the South- South recognition and platforms of relevance, when they ordinarily would have lost out in 2015, for voting against the APC and PMB.” This line of writing and, particularly, the reasoning that produced it are as unfair as they are scary. If that writer represents the view of the anti-Saraki APC, then it is saddening to note that APC still has not appreciated that the votes secured by former President Goodluck Jonathan in South-East and South-South could have been higher if it were not for the hardwork and determination of APC leaders and members in those zones. Now these valiant men and women who fought for their convictions appear to have been made to lose their voices by the emerging scenario in their otherwise beloved APC. People are asking what Ogbonnaya Onu, Rochas Okorocha, Chris Ngige, Rotimi Amechi, and others who were very vocal in asking the South-East and South-South to come along with the APC have to offer as explanation for what is happening. What sin has the South-East, the South-South and Saraki committed? If the elements of the Change Agenda of the current government is good for all Nigeria, why the fear of persons from the South-East and South-South being around even in minor positions? ...... http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/08/who-is-afraid-of-bukola-saraki/

FV of 2000 in each month for
20years at 12% interest is #537,600.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, yesterday, stated that its ongoing restructuring was designed to reposition its operations and refineries to profit-making ventures.

This was even as the NNPC denied claims that it was pursuing an ethnic agenda in the ongoing restructuring of the corporation. The NNPC, in a statement issued after an interactive session with the top management of the Corporation in Abuja, disclosed that it is poised to ensure that all its refineries are run efficiently and profitably to meet the energy needs of the country. Speaking at the forum, Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Mr. Emmanuel Kachikwu, stated that the days when the Corporation was perceived as a civil service organization instead of a Corporation were over. According to him, the Corporate Service Unit and all the Strategic Business Units of the NNPC would henceforth be run as profit centers. To this end, Kachikwu solicited the support of the management of the NNPC and its subsidiaries in closing the skills gap and in turning the fortunes of the Corporation around. He stated that efforts are in top gear to create a conducive working environment for members of staff, adding that for the NNPC to transform into a profit center like its peers in other climes, the morale of the work force must be high. He urged the management to provide leadership by example to the workforce while adding that sectionalism, tribalism and any form of non- transparent transactions must be completely stamped out of the NNPC. He also appealed to members of staff to act as change agents, assuring them that in the next 60 days some of the strategic targets would be translated into concrete milestones to the appreciation of all Nigerians. Commenting on claims that it was pursuing an ethnic agenda, the NNPC disclosed that its recent appointments and retirement were done with the approval of President Muhammadu Buhari and in compliance with federal character principles. It said, “The NNPC has decried attempts by a section of the media to politicise the recent appointments and retirements in the Corporation by imputing ethnic colouration to the exercise. “The appointments were made with the express approval of President Muhammadu Buhari and in compliance with extant laws regarding federal character, while the retirement exercise affected all those who were to retire between now and 2016 without any regard to ethnicity or state of origin. “The recent appointments, promotions, and retirements are all a part of the ongoing restructuring exercise aimed at repositioning the Corporation into a lean, efficient, profit-driven organization in line with international best practices without regard to primordial sentiments.” The NNPC, however, called on the Nigerian public to discountenance any report aimed at denigrating the ongoing reorganisation exercise in the Corporation.”

A Nigerian Anglican Archbishop, Josiah Idowu-
Fearon, has told the BBC that christian leaders
in the country thwarted government’s efforts a
combating militant group, Boko Haram, because
of they believed Muslim leaders were in support
of the militant’s activities.
Josiah Idowu-Fearon, who has just resumed as
the new secretary-general of the Anglican
Communion, is reputed for promoting dialogue
between Christians and Muslims in the country.


According to the archbishop, efforts to maintain
unity among the two main religion, were
undermined by some christian leaders who he
accused of failing to engage with their Muslim
counterparts.
“We warned the leadership in my country, the
Christian Association of Nigeria: ‘Let us listen to
the Muslim leadership, because the leadership is
not in support of Boko Haram. Oh no no no,’
they said, ‘they are always deceiving us. They
are all the same,'” he said.
He however revealed that their attitude has now
changed, but after so many lives have been lost.
He said: “Now they are singing a different tune…
I tell you more Muslims have been killed than
Christians in the north-east of Nigeria.” Perhaps
it is no surprise that Archbishop Idowu-Fearon
decided to leave Nigeria and take up his new
role as secretary-general of the Anglican
Communion.
He also revealed that his attempts to promote
unity between Christians and Muslims in the
face of Boko Haram’s attacks were not always
welcome, even as he said the church of Nigeria
distanced itself from him when he was appointed
in his new role.


Meanwhile, the federation of Muslim Women’s
Associations in Nigeria ( FOMWAN) has
condemned calls to ban hijab in northern
Nigeria .
The group warned that any ban of such kind
would offer no solution to the problem of
insurgency currently plaguing the northeast.

Aregbesola was represented by the secretary to the state government Moshood Adeoti. He said the state governor was necessarily absent because he was summoned to Lagos for a very crucial meeting.

The governor praised the Ooni of Ife for his contributions toward the raise of Yoruba culture. Aregbesola has recently stated that Sijuwade sent a text message to him before he travelled abroad for medical treatment and committed him and the state administration into the constant guidance of God. Eminent dignitaries home and abroad are trooping in thousands to pay their last respect to His Imperial Majesty, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, who has died a few weeks ago. Among others are Vice President, Yemi Osinabajo, Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo state, Senator Iyiola Omisore, Senator Babajide Omoworare; former Ambassador to Switzerland, Ambassador Olusegun Bamigbetan; Deputy Speaker of Osun State, Hon. Adegboye Akintunde; legislators; monarchs.
President Muhammadu Buhari was also absent at the ceremony but he mourned with the whole Nigeria. Buhari in statement said that Ooni’s place in Nigeria’s history is assured and the nation will long celebrate the monarch.

I don't really agree in totality wit dis article

Buhari has proven himself as an avid hunter
I don’t like lions. Their hunt bores me stiff. On
sighting a prey, they go too swiftly, too brutal
and aim for the thyroid. In seconds they break
the wind pipe of their prey and pronto, dinner
is served. No real drama, no teasing, all sheer
speed and downright efficient killing. One of
my favorite hunters is the Hyena. They are
pretty much more patient than the vulture.
They can chase a prey for days on end, at the
end the prey is worn out and more or less
surrenders itself as dinner.
There is a sense of drama in their hunt. The
prey at the beginning of the hunt is quite
agile. The pack of Hyenas knows that it is a
matter of time before the prey starts losing
strength. Like marathon runners from Kenya
they keep up the pace behind the prey.
President Muhammadu Buhari has proven
himself an avid hunter. His persistence in
repeatedly contesting the Nigerian presidency
has all the markings of the skill of the hyena.
He kept at it even against all possible odds.
To the amazement of many of us, he has
finally succeeded.

How Buhari’s hunt for immorality may
influence Nigeria
But now, the hunt for the crown of presidency
has been won and a new hunt must start. The
new hunt must be the hunt for immortality. His
team has since realised that the easiest way
for the president to attain immortality in the
minds of his avid supporters is to continuously
mock, humiliate and ultimately destroy ex-
president Goodluck Jonathan. For this hunt to
excite his teaming fans, it must not be the
lions hunt.
If he hobbles Jonathan swift and fast, even if
it leads to Jonathan receiving a life
imprisonment, he would have made a gross
political mistake; he would have made a
martyr out of Jonathan. The sight of a
Jonathan in chains, whilst it will no doubt
excite the minds of most Jonathan haters, will
immediately win a lot of sympathy from the
neutrals for the genial Jonathan.
The angst of the keen Jonathan supporters will
also be kindled; invariably a bit of violence
may sprout in the creeks. Worse still, the
immediate hobbling of Jonathan will lead to
calls for more blood from ferocious Nigerians.
The thirst can only be satiated if other big
fishes such as former president Olusegun
Obasanjo, former vice president Atiku Abubakar
and former Lagos state governor sen. Bola
Tinubu are also crushed in the process. That
will be a massive cull fest that may prove too
big for the appetite of moderate Nigerians.
Buhari guarantees place in history by slow
probing of Jonathan
So the plan has to be obvious: make the
probing of Jonathan the center piece of the
policy of this government and do it very
slowly. This government really does not need
to tar roads, construct railways, work on the
power situation or indeed carry out any other
form of governance to be hugely successful.
Just keep on probing Jonathan and the place
of this administration is guaranteed in history.
Already, it appears as if the President has
gotten the hang of it. Prior to his inauguration
he made it clear that he will probe Jonathan.


When he went to United States he announced
to the whole world in an article that under
Jonathan, one million barrels of oil was stolen
daily, he made the unnecessary error of
reducing this figure in an NTA interview. Since
then the reiteration of plans to probe Jonathan
has become a weekly affair. The press
statement is usually released after the
president has met with one group or the other.
He will of course reiterate his commitment to
recovering all the Jonathan loot. As of the
last count this mysterious loot was said to be
$150Billion.
The time for their arrest must be very close to
the next election. By then his supporters will
be defined as the supporters of corruption,
whilst the supporters of the president will have
the higher moral high ground. By hobbling
Jonathan, PDP is invariably reduced in the
minds of “right thinking Nigerians”, who know
that corruption is the exclusive preserve of the
PDP. By slowly bamboozling and teasing
Jonathan, the President will walk straight into
the Nigerian hall of fame as the man who
crushed corruption. After all once Jonathan
finally goes to prison a week to the next
general election, all the corruption in Nigerian
police, customs and excise and other federal
and state government agencies would have
been vanquished.

Samsung has announced two new large high-end Android handsets: the Galaxy S6 Edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5. Both phones have 5.7in (14.5cm) screens and are going on sale earlier in the year than their previous generations. The launches follow five successive falls in Samsung Electronics' quarterly profits. Analysts say the popularity of mid-range phones from Chinese rivals, and Apple's shift to bigger iPhones, have dented demand for Samsung's devices. However, the firm remains the world leader in terms of overall smartphone shipments. The announcements were made at a press conference in New York.

President Buhari has sacked the Nigerian
Ports Authority (NPA) boss, Alhaji Sanusi Ado
Bayero.

Vanguard reports that the termination of the
NPA managing director came with immediate
effect.

According to a statement by the presidential
spokesperson, Mr. Femi Adesina, Bayero has
been directed to hand over the management of
the NPA and all government property in his
possession to Mr. Habibu Abdullahi who has
been reinstated as managing director of the
NPA by Buhari. The President also wished
Bayero well in his future endeavours. Alhaji
Ado Bayero is the eldest son of the late Emir
of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero.
It would be recalled that about three months
ago, former president Goodluck Jonathan
sacked Mallam Habib Abdullahi from the said
position while he appointed Alhaji Sanusi
Lamido Ado Bayero to take his place.

The West African Examinations Council, WAEC
has released the May/June 2015 WASSCE results,
withholding the results of students in 13 states
that are owing the Council.
The Head of Nigerian Office, Mr Charles Eguridu
who disclosed this at its Yaba Office said:”Out of
1,593,442 candidates who sat for the
examinations, only 616,370 candidates,
representing 38.68% obtained credits in five
subjects and above including English Language
and Mathematics.”
Justifying the slight improvement in the results
from previous years, Eguridu said that in 2013, a
total candidates who obtained five credits in
English and Mathematics were 639,760
representing 38.30 per cent.
He said, in 2014, 529,425 representing 31.28 per
cent obtained five credits in English and
Mathemstics.
Meanwhile, Eguridu said that 6 states among the
19 states that are owing the Council have paid
their debt, left with 13 states.
The HNO who refused to disclosed the names of
indebted states explained that he would not want
politicians to hijacked the situation against their
opponents. He, however noted that if any of the
states that are owing can get an advanced
payment guarantee from any reputable banks,
students results in such states will be released.
His words: ” I alerted the nation on the challenges
which the Council was facing in Nigeria as a
result of this indebtedness, and its adverse effects
on our operations. I had stated then that the
Council may be constrained from releasing the
results of government-sponsored candidates of
the affected states.

“After my pronouncement, a few of the debtor
states responded by paying their debts fully or
partially; while a few others made promises,
indicating their willingness to pay as soon as they
are able to do so. Others have not made any
efforts in addressing the matter.
“After reviewing the situation, the Council has
decided that the results of government-sponsored
candidates of indebted states would be released if
such states endeavour to produce bank
guarantees, so that the Council will be assured
that the fees will be paid. This decision is in
appreciation of the general prevailing economic
challenges in the country, and in order not to
jeopardize the educational careers of the
candidates of the indebted states.”
He said that the results of 118,101 candidates,
representing 7.41% are being withheld in
connection with various cases of examination
malpractice. According to him, the cases of such

SEVERAL banks, discount houses and the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) are complying with the directive of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to have the names of their loan defaulters published in newspapers with effect from this August. The amount involved is about N13trillion. The “name and shame” strategy came against the backdrop of apparent failed attempts to recover the outstanding loans over a long period of time, far beyond their tenors. The failure of the recovery options is also evident in the fact that only few of the 113 bad debtors that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) barred from further borrowing from banks two years ago have been able to repay their loans taken over by the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON). Some observers have noted that this is not the first time the CBN will be publishing a list of bad debtors. It did same in the early days of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi’s regime as CBN Governor in 2009. It didn’t achieve its objective. Rather it ended in controversy as the list turned out to be lacking in credibility and thoroughness. But this time the apex bank is not doing it. The banks are doing it directly. Statistics of the bank debtors show that those affected are the big borrowers who are less than one per cent of the borrowing population but which actually hold over 70 per cent of the total N13 trillion bad loans. The resort to “name and shame” has attracted some criticisms as much as it has been hailed amongst industry stakeholders. Some argue that “name and shame” is unorthodox and unprofessional. Other opponents also warn that due consideration should be given to the legal implications. Yet others note that some defaults came as a result of genuine, irreversible business failures. While we appreciate the shortcomings of the “name and shame” strategy, we are seriously concerned that failure to do something might plunge the financial sector into a great disaster. The cost of the possible collapse of the financial sector is far heavier on the populace than the reputations of a few recalcitrant, chronic debtors. The truth is that some defaulters have simply decided not to pay their debts. This group, when identified, must face criminal prosecution after being exposed. The right of lenders to recover their money must be upheld in the overall interest of the economy. Entrepreneurship is about risk taking. If you fail you bite the bullet. We expect both the lender-banks and the CBN to approach this drive to recover loans with the greatest respect for the banker-customer contract, and also take into account the overall interest of the economy in penalising defaulters.
