Proposal by this emeifile left and right is just to ruin the economy,
The proposal is dead on arrival, they tried it once, I think someone went to court and court ordered that, those dormant accounts with money in it cannot be calmed by FG because, money is under property law, not necessarily under BOFIA, same ruling was given by the Supreme Court recently with the cash between the states and FG over cashless policy.

Banks are only custodian of money, properties, if the court do not give an order, a bank cannot erase a dormant account to zero... This is not but executive government theft.

This CBN governor is really making me wonder how he rose to be MD of Zenith bank.. His policies are something else.

The CBN is suppose to be a stabilizer of the economy, not coming out every week with policy somersaults, driving the economy into uncertainty, no economy thrive on uncertainty it always spell doom.. No time to plan... Only stable economy grow in long term.

Armaggedon:
Given directives by who exactly? Not even a head of state under military regime can do it. There are three categories of people resident in Lagos. Indegenes, non indegenes and foreigners. All non indegenes have equal rights. No such thing as a Yoruba job. The more people from southwest exhibit hostile attitude towards fellow non indegenes from other parts of the country, the more they lose trust and jobs from establishments own by non indegenes.
The joke is on them.

please kindly disregard those non entities, we Yorubas will definitely scold them to behave like Omoluabi and be tolerance of your neighbors.

Hmmm. This is very serious and all the Yoruba leaders must listen to them before these Yoruba youths take laws into their own hands.

Unfortunately, this is the fallout of the most toxic form of divisive tribal/religious campaign by the online mob of Mr Obi.

I respect their view and I hold a different opinion I know that most Yoruba hawks do not want to hear or accept because they want the Igbo out and sent back to Igboland after the manner the Igbo hated, mocked and disrespected the Yoruba during the 2023 elections.

In my opinion, the SW states must collaborate by reciprocity. Your Igbo state of origin must have given same opportunity to Yoruba in their land before you can get any opportunity in Yorubaland.

Southwest states must give jobs , land cofo, political apoointments, admission, contracts etc to ONLY indigenes of states that have given same opportunities to the Yoruba living in their land.

Our resources and opportunitie in the SW are finite and the more others come in and are given, the more the Yoruba may likely resent such a system.

Only those states that can collaborate with us by reciprocity genuinely desire our progress.

If we do not do something fast about our all comers approach to opportunities in Lagos and SW that gained currency since 1999, there will be a more serious violent form of this current problem in the future.

States are subnational level of govt and their 1st priority is to their own people.States are not for all comers. It then means if you now want to give opportunities to Igbo, you need to give only to indigenes of SE states giving your indigenes and the Yoruba living on their land same opportunities. That is a sustainable way unless we want xenophobia in Yorubaland.

Since 1999, no single Igbo states has given a political appointment to Yoruba whereas a state like Kaduna has done so. We should collaborate by reciprocation with Kaduna by giving their indigenes jobs over indigenes of a SE state for justice, equity and fair play.

Igbo should not cheat Yoruba and Yoruba should not cheat Igbo.

please stop disgracing Yorubas that support Tinubu... If its about what you are saying and it's applied 75% of all political appointees and elected Politicians that are Yorubas will not hold any position in Lagos but other SW states and Kwara and Kogi.
An Indian is currently the PM of UK, and you want to take us back to dark ages.
I will be happy has a Yoruba person to see Sanwó Olú appoint igbó, Edo, efik or even hausas as commissioners in Lagos to reflect the cosmopolitan nature of the state, everyone is contributing into and be the bigger state in that manner among other states, let's everyone have a sense of belonging, kudos to the management of the monorail awarding merit over nepotism or tribalism.

I think its high time NUC state some guidelines on owing a university has a private entity, all this draconian laws should stop at secondary schools, a university is for adult, a preparatory ground for what to expect in the real world, shielding students from real life experience is not the way to go.. Some of this laws a archaic to say the least.

Read my post well and understand it's a personal property his choice

he read your post very well, his choice i agree, the only problem I have with this thread is the word "a Muslim", we have bigots in a shape and sphere in all ethnic groups, tribes, race, politics and of course the oldest and most toxic one "religion".
Op will be surprised if he goes to Anambra and find out that a landlord who is a catholic will refuse to rent his property to you because you are a Celestian or a catholic. He will be surprised that a Yoruba man from Ilé-Ifè refuses to rent a house to a fellow Yoruba man from modakeke.
I understand his plight he has spent effort, time and strength... Just calculate all in it and give the man the bill shikena... Don't let it be outrageous because you will lose both ways.

Nice

It's a fake Twitter account oga.. There is nothing like rrs1234lagos command II.. Stop spreading lies.

LordEclipse:
Wait for the Lagos State Police command tommorow claiming their Twitter account was hacked..

that's obviously a fake Twitter account, you can just click on it and find out, not difficult.. What's the meaning of Lagos State police command II...@RRS123 or whatever.. For a discerning mind it's obvious it's fake.

Isn't this Emefiele rolling back the gains of the Sanusi era to reduce Banks exposure to shocks in other sectors by limiting their functions to core banking alone instead of them foraying into insurance , wealth management etc using the same funds from the customer deposits to spin up these other businesses?

How is an Holding company going to shield banks under such from the shocks if their other businesses are affected by a bad investment or financial crisis?

I see GTB is back into insurance and whatnot now.

Jonathan that appointed Emefiele and Buhari that has rewarded such incompetence twice are one of the worst things to befall the financial sector of this country in the last decade. Nigerians should be ready to subsidise bad businesses as AMCON would use public funds to buy such useless banks once they are about to fold up again so as to prevent a bank run on the others . Rinse and repeat and we are back to the years of Oceanic, BankPHB, Skye and Intercontinental again. I have always wondered why you would bring someone from a core banking dept to oversee a regulatory agency and not see that there would be conflict of interests or loyalty to his old buddies. Especially with someone like Emefiele who was just a puppeteer for Jim Ovia who was forced to step down due to the policies of the previous CBN governor Sanusi.

The spin off of those banks that defaulted are still owing trillions of naira in public funds and not a single one of them that metamorphosed to Keystone or Polaris is actually doing any better to get out of such debts. But no wahala . We go all dey alright.

@Comelysync just saw your comment. This is the exact same scenario.

yeah bro or sis.... Just same old cycle all over again, I pray the new coming government will look into this and put sanity in the system. A holding company is a very bad idea for banks under a regulatory body.

so which natural resources does Germany or Israel have in significant quantity to justify their wealth as a nation?

Saudi Arabia and Russia has more natural resources than Germany but a smaller economy and wealth. Explainghat with your argument and let's see.

great question, will be right back.. Busy a little bit now. The key natural resources of Germany include timber, natural gas, coal, lignite, uranium, iron ore, arable land, construction materials, potash, nickel, salt, and copper. Globally, the country is: A leading producer of lignite. The second largest producer of refined selenium.29 Aug 2012

Japan, Coal, iron ore, zinc, lead, copper, sulfur, gold, and silver are among the most abundant minerals (in relative terms), with lesser quantities of tungsten, chromite, and manganese. Japan also has large deposits of limestone.

Both copied from Britannica encyclopedia.

Because this two countries have a very high HDI and import most of the mineral resources they use to add value to their finished products does not mean they lack natural resources, its a big lie that they lack mineral resources, plus when I said resources I don't mean just natural, there are different type of resources.

My point is too much of anything can kill you, it's nature's law.. Even too much water can kill even tho it's essential to life.

This guys just push out nomenclatures to show they are working meanwhile it's all bullshit. The CBN under Emeifile is doing something dangerous, having a holding company in charge of a sector of the economy which is pivotal to the economy is dangerous, it will limit CBN supervision.
If this banks gives out bad loans through the head of the holding firms, who are not subject to the regulations of the CBN barring MDs/CEO more than 10 years on the saddle.. We can see a return of Akingbolas, Cecilia Ibrus, Atuches, people who will give loans to family and friends without collaterals, when it fails the bank get bail out with tax payers money through government, in this case instead of the real preparators going to jail.. Nobody will go to jail because it's the holding company calling the shots.. Which can't be under CBN regulations.

More population is suppose to lead to more wealth if the people are productive enough. As long as there is still arable land and space to occupy, more population is not a burden.

more population than resources is exploitation, over population produce poverty not wealth.

Kinehap:
At least they know how many they are not in Nigeria that we have been hearing 200million for the past ten years now.

If we are to take the real count Nigeria should be around 400 million. The rate of new born now is too much.

Nigeria is not even up to 120 million, if you have traverse this country very well you will know the figures are bloated, this last election proved it a little, our figures are political, Nigeria is the only country in the world where the population in the hinterland is higher than the coastal regions... We are not up to the figures we are claiming.

India should please help the world by controlling their childbirth rate, Nigeria also should follow suits, the discipline China had or is having to become the 2nd largest economy, India and Nigeria due to corruption do not have it at all.. There most be birth control in the two countries.

Transcorp that is a dead conglomerate.

A very dead brand from the onset.

Femi, has some old accumulations from Nigeria's crude reserves but he is not so much a wise investor.

He was a FBN, and he left. . Where is his outlay in Forte/AP?

He got his significant wealth from the oil block that FG allocated to him. . Not that he was so inventive or creative.

name the oil block he ever owned...

No money should be paid to any household, since it's for removal of subsidies, you should not replace it with another subsidy calling it palliative, money that will go into the pocket of another set of politicians.

Arguing with you is waste of time.

GRV again....so the producers of that movie can desecrate Eyo festival, that's none of his business. Omo komo ni Chinedu yi Sha!!!

in what scene in the movie was ẹyọ festival desecrated? Eyo shooting gun? Are we going to deny the violence that use to tale place in d 80s and early 90s during ẹyọ festivals? Is that not why the government as at then suspend the festival and restrict the movement to just TBS? Abeg make dem free the young producers of the film jare and face better things in Lagos.

Abeg make Sudan settle their matters abeg.. Cos the inflows of weapons from there inti Nigeria will be worse than what flew from Chad and cause Boko Haram.

Oga Farooq Kperogi, don't please again compare Seun Okibaloye to Rufia, seun and channels TV with Maupe Ogun, Chamberlain have always been professionals, no human is perfect, but this guys and the lady knows their job and they are dedicated to it, wgan they make mistakes they own up to it.
I use to think Rufia was smart intelligent but he became emotional with his job simple, to compare him with Seun Okibaloye who has proven to be unbiased is unfair with this your write up.
Rufia through his post on Twitter has shown where his passion is.. Don't get me wrong he also is passionate for a better Nigeria, I think we all are both we debating or comparing we minions rather than be holding our political leaders to book is totally wrong.. If you want unbiased reports on news. Listen to Berekete radio or channels TV, arise TV and ait are PDP. Tvc is APC.. Only person I respect in Tvc is that Yoruba man on journalists hang out.. Òtítọ́ lójú.

Oga please let this young men do their work and stop comparing anyone.. Rufia is overrated.. Seun can be quiet but trust me he is very vast.. Maupe is a lady no one should cross her part.. She will take Rufia to the cleaners or any politician.

They are looking for the trouble again then now say Igbo and other non indigenes are being put in their place as visitors by their Yoruba hosts.

How this concerns APC or Igbo like OP beggars belief. The film makers have not even done as little as apologise and beg for understanding that they were not out to hurt the sensibilities of the heritage of the indigenes they disrespected.

There is nothing exceptional in asking for film be withdrawn. In the early 90s, there was a Yoruba film titled "Arugbo To Re Mecca" that generated uproar, it was stepped down with wisdom and re-edited . The lead actress is still active till date. Even about same time was KIng Wasiu Ayinde's song that denegrates the Yoruba sub ethnic Ogu people of Badagry but he stepped down the song and reworked it to remove the offensive lyric. K1 has gone on to achieve even greater milestones afterwards.

They are ignorant yet forming woke as if they are the first to act or script film that need to be reworked.

Those in the film and those behind it are now in real trouble. Just remove the offensive part and replace the real names of location used with fictional names then apologise to show your art connect with real people.

alaye stop typing rubbish online.. Ashewo to rẹ mecca was on VHS.. Nothing was edited, we all watched it, Ógù people popularly know has Ègún people took no offense in Ayinde wasiu song.. Because you have no understand of what he said in the song "Kofi nene" are names attributed to èwe tribes in Togo and Ghana, no Ègún, Ogu bears Kofi, nene,
Ajovi, àjò to o are Ègún Language and means a thief and a liar in Ègún language.

That movie is not suppose to cause any uproar if people think it's an attack on Asiwaju strong hold on Lagos politics, atleast this last election have shown that lagosians have their mind of there own.. Most lagosians hate PDP with passion, that's why AD, ACN now APC held sway with elections.
Sanwo Olú is doing well. Atleast to his best of his capacity and capability, that's why he won the governorship election.
Lagos has been blessed with good governors right from the days of Mike ahigbe, ragi rasiki, bank Anthony,Marwan took it a top notch, Tinubu.. If people knew what idumota and akpongbon was... They won't talk bad about Tinubu, that man cleared those bridges people were selling ware and no go area. TINUBU cleared island.. Made most of the banks that ran away to Vi to come back to broad street and marina, Fashola.. My guy.. Lere man took it further, am òde did well too except for fighting the lawman people.

My point is people going against that movie need to channel their strength to something better, that movie was made before election. TINUBU IS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT, anyone that doesn't like the t should go and hit his or her head on the rock.

Stupidity at his peak.. The movie to me is a good movie attleast I will give it 7/10...ẹyọ was not desecrate in any way.. Just two or three screens with ẹyọ and this people are crying upandan.. Make dem rest abeg... It's eko for show.Tinubu did well for Island no doubt.. All this people looking for favors from him hitting on the movie.. Wọn má lù lè last last.. Infact they are even promoting the movie more and d products are smiling to the bank.

God have mercy.. A son of a terrorist is now another advance terrorist.. What's wrong with this people with giving other humans sorrows and pain.

I no understand.. Apologies na money ni? Or a presidential mandate, what Obi should do is get his lawyers to enquire what and why he was detained,so that any British officer found complicit should be brought to book.. OBI media teams should stop all this sentiment gimmicks and get to work on real things, Obi should by now be building his political base like Tinubu did in the 2000s,he is loved by alot of people now is the time for him to reach out and build a bigger political dynamic front, no one.. I repeat no one can rubbish him again in Nigeria political sphere.

After reading about the movie which was negative online, even before the LASG came out to debunked it, I saw a video on Instagram where a chief was admonishing the producers, this morning I read on one of the dailies online even mentioning where the frontline producers are from in ago, Ìjẹ̀bú...

AM a Yoruba not just a Yoruba.. This is a fiction movie for heavens sake, the UK government didn't bring down the heaven when the series the crown came out.

My point is am also an islander.. Kosoko family compound to be precise, yes am using a moniker, yes i have plead for money on this platform before..
But it's sad my state government had nothing to do any more than to pick up issues with young people doing a movie, the good part is that the start government cos of technology can't do issh to stop the movie.
I just watched it to see the hullabaloo.. But there was nothing.. The Eyo Masquerade they are trying to use as an excuse.. We real islanders know how benevolent and how the ẹyọ can change am for u... It's all fun.. Just like fanti carnival.. It's all fun..
But the movie promoters use it in just two scenes in the movie and we crying that Lagos Island ẹyọ was desiccated.

I think all hall trying too hard to get a position in Asiwaju incoming government does not know who Bola Ahmed Tinubu is,
He will fall all you mediocre hands.. He is in love with merit.. He hate mediocrity..
Leave those young producers alone.. To me I give the movie on Nigerian standards a 7/10.

TINUBU will not appoint you if you are a mediocre.. He has paid his dues.. And its èmi lọ́kàn.. May the good God guide him to give us all a good team to steward our nation in the next 4 years

AM a Lagosian

Sowore the rejected Yoruba man should rest.

Sowore is Ijaw.

COdeGenesis:
Lyrics and video are in sharp contrast. Story telling skills of most video producers in Nigeria are below average. Such a waste of time

its a "musical" video for heavens sake not a story, movie video... Not a must it have storylines.

Onyiridike:
Stop this joke. Nobody mistakenly transferred money to Tinubu's account. They were friends in the same business.
It is easy to get the name of the depositor and the account's name used and the relationship between the duo.

if you can comprehend what i wrote, It was an analogy.

Eriokanmi:
Interesting days ahead. Go and read what tinubu said in response. How can you receive such money without your knowledge when it wasn't Nigeria bank where anything goes? Tinubu claimed he shared an apartment with drug traffickers but didn't know what those guys did for a living but he went ahead and gave them over 5 bank accounts belonging to you? Haba! Only by miracle will he escape this. Now I know why Biden has refused to congratulate Tinubu. They had his records

can you please share me the link to his story please.. Don't get me wrong am not holding brief for him.. But is it not too late bringing this to dispute his Presidential mandate he won? Share me the links please thanks.

Donake:
Nobody is asking of any arrest,warrant but to ask the investigative team to affirm what the civil o criminal forfeiture was for?

Can a government ask anybody to forfeit funds when there is no crime,fraud or illegal funds suspected to be routed through such accounts? The enquiry through the IGP isn't enough. Get a DEA agent to testify before the courts so these matters can be laid to rest.

yes a government can.. And you are right.. The lawyers should ask questions of what really happened that led to the forfeiture not bothering us with unnecessary issues, what if you have a foreign account and your friend asked you can you receive money for him on his behalf and you never knew where the money comes from and you think or trust your friend it was legit and it was done.. The FBI came knocking and you prove to them you actually knew nothing about it and you forfeited the money from your account will that make you a criminal? Unless maybe there was a plea bargain.. Even if there was what was the terms, just like you said I think at this point the American government should come out and tell the world what really happened and let this man Tinubu rest and face the task ahead.

Tinubu is our next president we like it or not.

Eriokanmi:
How can any court ask me to forfeit ordinary 1kusd of my hard-earned money, if not legitimately sourced and deposited in my account...and I'd not challenge and claim it back when im not father Christmas? Wonderful!

what if someone transferred money into your account without your knowledge and it's drug money.. The only way the government can get the money from you is by a forfeiture by a court order, what if i have a friend who does not have an account in the USA and he claimed someone want to pay him money for a service or purchase and he needs a USA account you provide your account and the money was deposited, you didn't touch it only to find out it was drug money.. The only way the government to get the money is to find out is you are involved in the drug trade if you not.. The law same with Nigeria law with the USA is for the court to order a forfeiture the money that does not make you a criminal.
TO me tinubu adversaries are not knowledgeable enough. What they should have gone after is not the money or forfeiture but transcripts of what really led to the forfeiture...
This man has been a Senator, A governor now a President elect and President in few weeks time now all this while none of them tried to find out what really happened but wasting our time online and lawyers smiling away with millions from court.
Find out what really happened if he is innocent leave him alone abeg the country has spoken.. If he is not then bring ur facts out in court.. Let's move forward abeg.. Not all this nonsense issues of a case that have been thrashed 2 decades ago.. Are the people paying this lawyers not smart at all.. Don't they ask questions?

Wow.. Oh its a friendly.. Forget.. I was like wow.. Cos the kiwis and the aussies are very good in women football, I pray our girls do better this time around in the world cup.. They tried the other time.. With Ajibade.. Nd i pray no injuries come to Oshoala and the rest in the team.
