It’s no news that Nigerian PayPal do not receive fund but can only send, this makes it difficult for it to be used for online business aside for buying and paying for goods and services.
I have thought about this a lot and I did a top research on it and discovered a way out and this is the use of Lesotho PayPal which has the full PayPal feature, which means that it can send and receive fund as well as do other things a foreign PayPal does.
So let me go straight to the point.

The governor of Ebonyi State, Chief David Umahi yesterday threatened that the state will make a law to prevent troubled herdsmen from entering into the state.
He regretted that herdsmen blocked him from entering into his village.
Umahi made this known while addressing his exco-members during the first executive council meeting that took place at the exco-chambers, government house Abakaliki.
He words: “On Monday we will meet with our brothers and sisters, the herdsmen living in Ebonyi, we have managed ourselves very well but we are not happy.


“It takes enough of tolerance and a lot of patience and spirit of love for the leader of the state to condone what is happening here to happen. For if it happens in other states, they will go to war.
“A lot of our farm lands has been destroyed, in everyday people will send text messages to me. So we will review our relationship with them and we will warn them that we will not continue to tolerate that. We will like to identify who and who are the real herdsmen that have been staying with us in Ebonyi state. And so, we will prevent those of them that will want to migrate to Ebonyi to cause trouble here.
“We will make our law that trouble herdsmen Will not come to Ebonyi, so we register them and know who they are. So that if anybody is expanding it and we will say no to that

“During the meeting we will do a serious warning. Imagine governor will be moving on the way and cattles as far away in my village stopping the movement of a sitting governor.
“What kind of country is that, we will not tolerate it again, neither shall we say that the herdsmen who have stayed with us for 60 years should leave us.
“But we have to agree on what happens. We told them that we can open rice horse for your cattles and then it is their duty to go out there and get it for their Cows.


“We were told the other day that the herdsmen allowed their thousands of cattle at Ezzillo to finish our rice. In Izzi, Afikpo north and Ivo LGAs the same thing. We will not continue to fold our hands and allow herdsmen to continue to destroyed our crops, neither shall we take the laws into our hands.”
The governor also commended President Mohummadu Buhari for sending troops to Benue state to forestall further killings of the people of the area but tasked him to fish out the killers and bring them to face the wrath of the law.


“We thank the federal government for deploying a large troop to Benue state to forestall further Killings but we request them to do every thing possible to fish out the killers and bring them to book so that it will serve as Warning to others.

There is no religion that permit the taken away a life of another man.
“It is God that gives life. And so, God cannot give and expect a lower being to take the life away. And we also sympathize with River state about the people that was massacred and we commend President Buhari and security agency especially the army on the wonderful work they did in tracking the leader of the militants that massacre our people in River state.
“And we ask them to fish out the remaining members of the gang so that they will face the law accordingly.”



Umahi also announced the approval of N29 million naira for the purchase of rice, yam, wrapper and other items to assist the displaced persons in Taraba and Benue states.
“I want to thank exco-members for approving N29 million to assist our brothers and sisters who were displaced in Taraba and Benue states”, he added.

I read through your four questions. Let me just say that I'm not new to phones and Naija networks. It affects me and it affects people around me. It's a new development. This issue has always been there before but it is currently at a new level. Did you take your time to read few comments here? That says it all. Thanks.

My data just expired and sms alert was sent from Glo network. I'm glad to inform you that I was happy it was finally over with the frustration of the highest order. For the past one or more week, I couldn't open a website page with it.
It was badly timed for glo: reduction of data volume by half combined with the dead network. Bye bye to rubbish.
Please, don't tell me that it was due to my area.

Vivid Imagination, one of Nigeria’s oldest fashion brands, lost millions of naira on Friday following an early morning fire that engulfed its main store and factory located at Falemi House, Obanikoro, Lagos.

According to reports, the fire which must have been caused by a power surge, started at about 2am, and raged for hours before it was put out by men of the Lagos State Fire Service assisted by some well-wishers. By the time the dust had settled, the store, which is home to the company and client’s fabrics, clients’ ready-to-be-delivered outfits, ready-made clothes, shoes, accessories and documents, was completely razed and virtually all the machines were burnt.

Dele Momodu who shared photos from the scene wrote, 'Fire guts one of Nigeria's biggest fashion factories VIVID IMAGINATION in Lagos, my designers of 27 years'.

An official statement from the Management, signed by the Managing Director, Godwin Mekwuye, said: “We wish to announce that early this morning there was afire incident at our company that vastly affected our store and factory. The damage done by this incident was phenomenal because it affected over thirty years of the brand’s history and memories as well as hundreds of millions naira worth of goods and equipment. This is a very difficult time for us as we begin to investigate the cause or causes of this disaster, but we assure our clients’ that the process of revival will begin immediately and we would ensure that this setback will not affect our time-tested efficiency and qualitative service delivery.”

Data from a new report series from the NBS, produced in collaboration with the CBN, reveal that 462 million transactions valued at N29trn were recorded on electronic payment channels in Q4 2017.

As expected, ATM transactions dominated with a volume of 240 million. Internet subscriptions directly correlated with electronic transactions stood at 98 million in December 2017, according to the Nigerian Communications Commission. This translates into a penetration of 53%.

Based on data from the Nigeria Inter-bank Settlement System (NIBSS), total active bank accounts as at February 2017 stood at 67 million, pointing to 36% exposure (of the country’s population) to electronic payment transactions. Financial inclusion is still far from its optimal level.

The volume of point-of-sale (PoS) transactions shows the impact of the cashless policy on the economy. The NBS data show that 47 million PoS transactions were recorded in Q4 2017, representing increases of 20% q/q and 113% y/y.

Meanwhile, mobile payments recorded 12 million transactions valued at N307bn (US$1bn) in Q4. The value of transactions grew by just 30% y/y and accounted for only 1.1% of total electronic transactions.

Mobile banking remains hugely untapped. Indeed, better synergy between telecommunication operators and banks would boost e-transactions. Kenya is the leader in this field through M-Pesa and other platforms. Ghana is worth a mention, too: its central bank has reported total mobile transactions in 2017 (12 months) of GHS156bn (US$35.9bn), compared with KES4.6trn (US$45.3bn) for the 12 months to June 2017.

Nigerians would always be peculiar people.Thats what makes the country fun and distracts us from all the wahala .

If you are coming to Nigeria or Lagos for the first time , this would be very helpful.

Here are some slangs we won’t stop saying anytime soon .



Go Slow
This is the way we say “traffic jam” in Naija . I dey inside go slow .

Drop
This has two meanings, it means hailing a taxi and riding in it alone to your destination. It also means alighting from a bus or taxi.

Fockanizer
Well, nothing much to say here, its Vulcanizer people .

Rewire
“Rewire” is actually an action , the person doing the rewiring should be called an electrician , not a rewire, my country pipo !.

Bomber
Its “bumper” folks , haha .

Men In Black
This refers to the police , the popo , the Nigerian Police Force .

Agbero
This word doesnt really mean something abusive , it can be translated as “Carrier of people /carrier of crowd” .But the madness of the agberos has made the word abusive.So it means conductors, tax collectors , infact any tout and their species .

Alaye
From my little understanding of Yoruba , alaye means “the living” “alive” “lively” ,but the way its used is similar to the way Americans call their friends “nigga” or “brah” or “bro” .

Gberaa
It means “move” or “move fast” or “drive” .

Figo
Danfo slang for 500 Naira .I am still confused how they coined this name .

Shandi/Muri
Danfo slang for 20 Naira . Muri-> Muritala Mohammed on the note

Waso/Wazo
Danfo slang for 50 Naira .Coined from two out of the three major ethnic group’s intepretation of “come” .

Wa= Yoruba

Zo=Hausa

Faiba/Fiber
Danfo slang for 10 Naira

Cut Your Hand
This one cracks me up every time .It means “turn the steering wheel” .


Was I spot on ? see any errors ? add yours .

MrMcJay:
Okay.
I think you need to understand something.

In Law, there's something called legal personality. Zenith Bank, Zenith Insurance, Zenith Pensions, Zenith Capital, Civic Properties Ltd are all separate legal entities with legal personalities distinct from each other. Each one has the ability to own assets, liabilities, declare losses and profits independent of each other. In the eyes of the law, they're separate legal personalities different from each other.

Hence, the properties owned by Zenith Insurance would reflect in its asset base and not that of Zenith Bank or Zenith Capital.

What could have happened is that Jim Ovia (as an independent legal entity) took a loan from Zenith Bank to finance he building of Civic Towers. Upon completion, he took in Zenith Bank, Zenith Capital, Zenith Pensions, Deloitte, etc as tenants all paying rent to him while he finances his loan obligations to Zenith Bank. The loan to Jim is an asset to Zenith Bank, Civic Towers is an asset to Jim, while the loan is his liability to the bank.

The Civic Towers you're talking about is an asset which would not reflect in the asset base of Zenith Bank even if they both are owned by the same person.

As for Ecobank, they got incompetent lawyers and auditors who did a shoddy job before buying Oceanic. I strongly suspect they were aware but were either paid or threatened by the powers that be to keep shut. If the information they got leaked out, the deal would collapse and no subsequent investor would touch Ecobank with a long stick.

I don't know if I explained it enough.

MrMcJay:
Are you sure about this?

I actually have been involved in several real estate transactions involving several banks and I've never seen transfer documents bearing the names of the Chairmen or owners.

Also, if you know lawyers involved in legal audit of banks every year, they'll tell you that what you posted is an exception rather than the norm.

Big Brother Naija housemate, Nina has once again reacted to her kissing Miracle in the shower two days ago.

During her Diary session with Biggie today, Nina says she feels bad, and she knows her boyfriend will be watching and he would be feeling bad about her affair with Miracle.

She then publicly apologized to her boyfriend, begging him not to be mad and know it's just a game.

“I know my boyfriend will feel bad, I know he’s feeling bad at the moment. I’m begging him not to feel bad about everything happening here. I’m sorry, I’m trying to control it. My boyfriend might even be crying watching me here. I’m really sorry but I’ll keep controlling it”

She also says she has already told Miracle about her boyfriend, but she would speak to him tonight again.

“Miracle knows I have a boyfriend, I told him, he told me he was single, and I told him I was dating. Because my relationship is something I cannot deny… I’m just open, for people to know I’m dating. I don’t know what’s in his mind, but Miracle knows I have a boyfriend”

MrMcJay:
You think the assets reflecting in the Bank books are printers, calculators and cello tapes? Your assertion holds true for tier 3 banks and glorified Microfinance banks like Jaiz Bank.

Major Banks buy real estate to increase their asset base.

MrMcJay:
Picture 1 is Golden Plaza in Falomo in Ikoyi.
Picture 3 is in Victoria Island off Akin Adesola.
The other 2 pictures aren't MTN headquarters.

FYI, Golden Plaza doesn't belong to MTN, they are tenants there. MTN is such an irresponsible company that 16 years, 5 months and 7 days after it came into Nigeria, the headquarters is still in a rented Plaza.

MTN comes into Nigeria, makes billions of dollars here, moves it out of Nigeria through Stanbic and our National Assembly lawmakers are afraid of clamping down on this economic robbery.

The problem is that when MTN hires sound lawyers to defend them, is it people in the National Assembly like Dino Melaye that would reply MTN? Dino that can't even write a single paragraph without falling into grammatical epilepsy.

So Yesterday Son Of Glo Founder Paddy Adenuga Wrote a revealing article about how he almost bought Chevron oil and gas company in Netherlands at the age 29 without his father Mike Adenuga's help..

And Media Personality Shade Ladipo thinks its completely ridiculous for him to say such, Cos he can't and wouldn't have been able to travel to London talk more of Buy a Whole Company like Chevron, if he hadn't used his father's name.. She said its shameful for him to say that..
