Even on an Edo vs Yoruba thread?? Na wa for some people oh! See deleted posts!!

Enough of these trabalistic nonsense. Tana is Ibo married to a yoruba man but I guess you wouldn't know that or it doesn't fit into your trabalistic narratives . Enough already

This is serious. Does it mean even the previously released girls are not free in the real sense of it but now in government captivity using these bogus excuses. Omg. Something isn't adding up. The world over several people have been freed from the captivity of terrorist and usually soon after they are in the news recounting their experiences. There is a saying that if it cries like an owl, flies like an owl, looks like an owl, then definitely it must be an owl.

He was All States Trust Bank CEO at the time.

No he was not. Was a branch head which you can be with a mere 5 to 6 years banking experience. By 1997 he founded standard trust bank from the ashes of crystal bank

Interestingly he was refused employment in the then crystal bank as unqualified to work with them. A few years later he became the owner of the bank and started empploying those that said he was unqualified to work with the bank

What's our society turning into?

Sad

A fool and his money are soon parted

This fellow criticised the government last week and his house raided this week. There is a saying that when the witch cries at night and the child dies in the morning, both must be related

Not nice

My educated guess is this money (by the sheer size of it) is for the upcoming polls. We seem to forget we are barely a year to elections and the campaigning starts this year

The continued silence of the government ( we know if this money belongs to the opposition, by now we would have seen the full weight and might of the law and the trumpeting of the anti corruption war) shows indeed the money is another dasuki-like political war chest

Also is it a coincidence that the flat is located not far from the residence of the financial sponsors of the ruling party?

One thing appears clear: The money is meant for 2019

Isn't it surprising that days after the discovery, a big anti graft agency like efcc can't tell us the real owner of the apartment. Something that ordinarily would not take more than 24hrs

If it belonged to an opposition individuals would it be safe to say by now they would have been named and shamed. Clearly this catche of loot belongs to friendly members of the administration and hence the bending over backward to confuse and cover up the issue

It's a shame efcc has become so politicized

I would so love to see Kemi defame a moslem cleric. Just like Freeze has been doing to pastors and celebrating it vigorously.

There you have it. They won't. They know the consequences of doing so....

One notable activist once said: what is the essence of peace without justice?

"Today, I want go over the differences between these words"

You would find this is also incorrect. Differences = Quarrel

Today, I want to go over the difference between these words...Correct

Best Answer from my interviewing applicants

Why should we hire you?

Applicant: I see no reason, absolutely none, why you shouldn't


I was in awe. I defined this applicant as one of the most analytical person I have ever met...in the top 1 percentile as regards IQ

Mayflowa:
You didn't read the part that said he had transcript by some crooked means. He has blocked all the loopholes until now

Does what Sahara Reporters said even make sense? They claimed his Head of Department assisted him to get higher grades (Laughable). On the same breath they also claimed he didn't graduate Which one should we believe....They need to make up their mind which story to stick to

Further, SR claimed he bribed some university officials to get transcripts with which he used in getting a higher degree from University of Jos. In a normal society a newspaper cannot publish this without concrete proof. Infact I can as well make this same allegation against any Nigerian graduate. It smacks of speculation, innuendos and conjectures. How did they confirm this? Were they there when the bribe for transcript occurred?? And to think the society allows for this to be published for the masses consumption, really sad

This is one of the reasons why the communist Chinese govt banned so many news site in their country. Here a newspaper can just about write anything

The hysteria over this so called certificate issue is confusing and demoralising. Clearly Sahara Reporters are paid agents to get back at Dino and they are doing all they can to justify whatever they were paid by contorting facts and using nameless sources. Let us examine the key issues here

If Dino did not graduate from ABU by now Sahara Reporters would have had the confirmation from the Registrar of the school, NOT from one namesless source. Dino has even posted the transcripts of his academic records to refute this but we are so biased we want to cling to SR's side of the story

Do we really think if Dino didn't graduate from ABU by now it won't be major news? Our law enforcement agents would't have had him in cuffs, an event that would gladden the heart of many of his enemies??

The second claim by SR that he claimed to be a graduate of Harvard is another tongue in check statement. If you view this dispassionately, one would easily see that SR are desperately looking for something to hang on Dino's neck. As Harvard is a colossus academia, a lot of people include it in their CV once they have attended any course there. Not necessarily that they graduated from it. Tony Elumelu has Harvard on his CV but attended only a course, as is Jim Ovia and a host of Nigerian entreprenaeurs. I am sure Dino never claimed he has a degree from Harvard. If he did SR would have used that as a giant trophy medal

It is worrisome that whenever the powers that be are not happy with anyone, these sorts of media blackmail, bully and crude tactics are used to silence the person. Democracy dies in silence and without opposition

I think the real issue here is why the DSS, an arm of the executive, would undermine an appointment made by the same executive. And the same executive keeps mum!

Something isn't right here. If the executive truly wanted Magu confirmed, they would have called the DSS to order. They didn't and this whole brouhaha seems to me like a script the executive has prepared for their own ends, whatever that is

I do not believe they truly wanted Magu confirmed and a larger conspiracy here seems beyond our understanding

Very well then. As long as that fight is holistic we are good to go. The issue is when it becomes selective, and glaring cases of graft against government's appendages are overlooked. In such cases your credibility is questioned and those being prosecuted, whether guilty or not, would rightly feel victimized

My ex has it.....it smells like shít.

This is indeed true. These holes spurt out a brownish smelly liquid. Majority of them that is. I wonder why the article didn't touch on that only slightly mentioning about "the odd infections here and there"

Infact almost all of these holes have stinking squirts that require surgical corrections. I would like to know why this is so

@AMT....the Grammer in this tweet is funny....bow out ko, bow down ni

Flee from all appearance of evil...How the wife condoned him having this type of PA in the first place baffles me. He is a man afterall

Are you kidding me? I am yet to see a nurse perform heart surgery or even most surgeries. If my memory is correct I can't recall a nurse diagnosing and making prescriptions to me when I visited the hospital.

She was beyond shocked at the appearance of a Nigeria senator and the quality of discourse. She told me it was banal and without substance. She said, only Saraki had something called a brain. Others wasted time with empty protocols as if they were addressing themselves in their usual bogus manner in the Senate chambers, with no real answers to serious questions. She described Lasun as the worst, the most uninspiring and dense Deputy Speaker ever! Followed by Gaya in lack of intellect.


I cannot believe a journalist used these profanity in a newsreport, especially when discussing about members of a country's parliament. I know this goes beyond low, but how can a newspaper allow themselves descend to this level in a glaring personal attack, on an article that is meant to be for public consumption?

This report could have easily passed the message across without using such inflammatory, insulting and outright denigration of these people and those that elected them which the writer described as "poor and unintelligent "

Sad

This is a pathetic defense. So a Supreme court Judge would single you and Amaechi out of over 170m Nigerians. You can lie all you want, afterall we as human, have no way of knowing if you lied or not. However you cannot lie to your conscience. But don't expect us to be ignorant of the fact that the Judge's raids and Arrests is not politically motivated

Enough already

This is so wrong. By my own calculations, subsidy removal should have generated billions of dollars in savings. What happened to that windfall? TSA also must have mopped up trillions of naira. Where are the money? This clearly is a guise to sell off juicy national wealth to a favoured few most of whom would be proxy to the real owners who no doubt would be our government officials. Shame

A fool and her money are soon parted

Funny that Borno state isn't included. Very very funny. Am I the only one that have noticed this?

In simple terms, it means all foreign currency loans (Loans Nigerian banks had disbursed in foreign currency, usually called foreign currency lines) must now be classified as performing or non performing. In the non performing category, these are further classified as doubtful or lost. Each classification of the non performing loans requires the banks to set aside a portion of their income or capital to cover for the possibility that the loan may not be repaid (called provisioning). Doubtful or lost requires different amounts to be set aside

The only surprise here is that this wasn't being done already because this has been the norm for naira denominated loans

Most banks in Nigeria do not pay severance packages anymore. They used to but now once you are sacked you go with nothing.

Not just diamond bank. It is the signs of the times

Sad

frodobee:
Well all I know is that efcc has no right to freeze anybody's account, immunity or immunity, ordinary citizen or president without a COURT Injunction to that effect. And I am yet to know the court and judge who gave the order to ZenithBank.
Anyway, I still dey find person wey get Godaddy Coupon. God bless us.

Right. This lawlessness and impunity from efcc needs to end. I do not hold court for Fayose nor do I have much interest in the details of his case, but right from my banking days I know efcc simply forces banks to freeze people's accounts with just a letter and in some bizarre cases, with a phone call and banks dutifully comply as non compliance means vindictive actions from the efcc

we need to understand that efcc now acts as if they are above the law. This trend is dangerous and you only need to be the focus of their attention to know how dangerous it is. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely

The law of the land is that before any account is frozen, a court must sanction it. Efcc should please stick to that. It is not as if it is even difficult for them to cow most of the scared judges (most are too scared for their own safety and freedom at the moment) to issue them such order, so the resort to illegality is really worrisome. Evil triumphs when good men do nothing. This is how the Nazi started

In a normal situation the honorable thing here is for the SP and DSP to resign. But this trial is anything but normal. Saraki would be well aware the intentions of those behind the trial is to achieve his removal, whichever way that comes. In this regard his resignation would be a victory for those bent on ousting him from power, for whatever ill they feel he committed against them

This in mind, I do not see him willingly resigning. He knows, just like everyone else do, that the executive is orchestrating this plot and his political life depends on how he survives this. Winners are not quitters, quitters never win, comes to mind in a case like this

This also reminds me of the celebrated case between Atiku and the then president OBJ. Atiku was put on a moral bind and similarly asked to resign, for the integrity of the VP's office. He knew it was not about doing what is morally right (a situation that would have made him an eternally laughing stock) but a political fight, to the death, where fangs are bared and no prisoners taken. All is fair and just in war. He fought to the end and emerged a stronger foe. History would record this as a strength, rather than a weakness of morality

Saraki may be anything we despise and don't like but when the executive descends into a bowl of unsalacious grapes, and scraps around to bind and silence an important institution that is meant to check their own abuses, at least in theory, the society and justice should be on notice and wary. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely

A lot of readers here appear to have comprehension issues. What the senator said is to remove the power of assent from the president on "Constitution Amendment Bills" Not ordinary bills of the house

His argument is that since this is the only bill that requires 2/3 majority approval from both the national and state house of assemblies, it makes a mockery for only ONE man to have the power to veto such approved bills

Indeed he has a huge point as one man cannot be greater than the entire people whom the national and state house of assemblies represent. If we are to practice democracy, these sort of thoughts are highly welcomed

mployer:
I don't understand what you are saying.

Allowing them access to their FX means they can withdraw their dollar from their bank account. Is there something I am missing?

No. You cannot under the new policy. You must sell to the receiving bank at interbank rate

That's the aspect which I have issues with and which the op is trying to mislead people
