The other day, I did *894# to recharge my Airtel line from my First Bank account. It didn't even connect, yet, seconds later, almost 7 Naira was already deducted from my account. I think 6.94 Naira or so. They sent me the SMS, yet the reason I used the code was not achieved.

They know what they're doing.

Low-key rip thousands of people of their 7 Naira daily.

Who will I complain to that Airtel and my bank scammed me of 7 Naira?

TimeManager:
Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has sparked controversy after reacting to Peter Obi’s condolence visit to the family of late Super Eagles goalkeeper, Peter Rufai.

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, visited the Rufai family on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at their residence in Amuwo Odofin, Lagos—one day after the football icon was buried.

Obi, accompanied by former international Sylvanus Okpala, spent time with the family, offered prayers, and signed the condolence register.

He explained that he had only learned of the burial date the day before, while in Abuja, and flew to Lagos early that morning to pay his respects.

However, shortly after the visit, Olayinka took to social media to question the motive behind Obi’s action.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote:



https://x.com/OlayinkaLere/status/1959235834965578008?t=9kajemHourfkr1uKEhNFMA&s=19

The tweet appeared to link Obi’s visit to earlier comments made by former Super Eagles defender Taribo West, who had criticized the silence of Nigerian Football Federation and other local football association following Rufai’s death.

Olayinka suggested that Obi’s visit was a reaction to that criticism and aimed more at gaining media attention than offering genuine condolence.

His remarks sparked mixed reactions online.

While critics of Obi echoed Olayinka’s view, accusing the former Anambra governor of using the visit for publicity, others defended Obi’s actions, describing them as sincere and timely given his explanation.

Did Wike visit Peter Rufai's family? Did Tinubu visit Peter Rufai's family?

Why this obsession with Peter Obi? He keeps giving them nightmares everyday

Story reads like a folklore. Especially in India where cobras are sacred and a threat. Bitting the snake literally saved his life rather than the other way round. Assuming the snake bit him in the mouth, tongue or cheek during the course of biting the snake then lil boy would probably have died.

Why I Attended the Abure-Led LP Meeting — Datti Baba-Ahmed

Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, the Labour Party’s 2023 vice presidential candidate, has declared that Peter Obi was fully aware of his decision to attend the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting convened by Julius Abure.


Datti made the revelation during an interview on Channels TV’s The Morning Brief on Tuesday.

He said his role was that of a peacemaker working to unite the divided party.

“I assure you, every step I take is with the knowledge of the concerned parties,” Datti said. “Labour Party is not a party to abandon. We must talk and unite.”

He emphasized that the internal divisions in the party must not be ignored, and he is taking proactive steps to promote reconciliation.


“I’m a positive catalyst,” he noted, “bringing people together to rescue Nigeria.”

This comes amid a serious leadership crisis that has split the Labour Party into factions.

Many key figures, including Peter Obi and Abia State Governor Alex Otti, now recognize Senator Nenadi Usman as the party’s Interim National Chairman.

Usman was elected last Friday, alongside Senator Darlington Nwokocha as Interim National Secretary and others.


However, the party’s National Youth Leader, Kennedy Ahanotu, rejected the new interim committee.

He insisted that Julius Abure remains the legitimate leader of the party.

A major legal twist came in April, when the Supreme Court overturned a Court of Appeal judgment that had recognized Abure as the Labour Party chairman.

The apex court ruled that the matter was an internal party issue and therefore not within the court’s jurisdiction.


The Supreme Court backed the appeal filed by Nenadi Usman and one other, describing it as meritorious.

Despite Obi and Otti identifying with the Usman-led faction, Datti defended his engagement with Abure’s NEC, stating he was on a mission to encourage dialogue.


Responding to Obidient Movement Coordinator Yunusa Tanko, who claimed Obi’s camp wasn’t aware of the meeting, Datti dismissed the claim.

He said he deals directly with Obi, not his aides.

“I don’t talk to Mr. Tanko,” he said. “I relate with His Excellency Peter Obi, and he is aware. Maybe he hasn’t had time to brief the Tankos around him.”

Datti also said the Labour Party, like many other political parties, has suffered due to “the captors of the Nigerian state.” He urged party leaders to rise and heal the divisions from within.
Key Takeaways
Datti Baba-Ahmed says Obi approved his attendance at Abure-led meeting.

He calls for unity and peaceful resolution of Labour Party crisis.

Supreme Court ruled leadership issues are internal matters.

Obi and Alex Otti support Nenadi Usman as interim party leader.

Youth Leader Kennedy Ahanotu insists Abure remains in charge.

Julius Abure needs to calm down and let peace reign.

Will he be party chairman forever?

So this is a message we just got. I believe this is could easily be a scam but better safe than sorry. They called my sister's name the way it was registered on Truecaller. Here's the message below. Has anyone seen a message like this before?


*They reached us with this number on Whatsapp *+234 701 892 3612**

> The reason why am talking to you now is because of the way you be to me. Na person wey dey close to you, na him wan kill you. All wetin him talk, I record everything on my phone here including the video play and the voice note, him no know say I dey record am as him dey talk, and I know the reason why I recorded everything.
> The money wey him pay us no mean anything to me or shey na because of 500k wey person pay me na him, I go take go take someone life and family life? NO.
> I know the reason why I told my boy’s to calm down dat I will call you because I know you very well, and that’s the reason why I’m asking you that who did you have issues with? I don’t want you to hide anything from me

**Call me on this number**
09076454185 (this is a different number they now gave asking her to specifically call them back on this particular number alone)

She called the number and the guy asked, "have you seen my message and she asked what it was about . The guy change am and dropped the phone. Her husband now recorded a vn thanking them for helping with the information, then asked for 2 things
1) the video (not audio of the clip) of the person planning the dastardly act while still thanking them for being patriotic.
2) He then mentioned that in case this was one big joke or format, then they didn't know them well enough because if they knew the support around his wife, that type of joke would never come up as a threat to his wife and family meant he needed to rise up to the occasion. He said if this is a format, then it has to stop immediately. (He then took the screenshot of the message before sending his vn through my sister's phone.

As they received the message, they quickly deleted the first threat message and sent a VN back that was supposed to be for people who threatened them back. Because he did not engage them in that expected angry level, they had nothing else to continue with but still send their counter threat. A recorded message that had words repeated back to back. The next thing they did was to now write a message saying they were blocking her. Which they did. After that, she blocked the number and by the next morning they had also deleted the threat VN they dropped.

]Abeg make we track this number know who dey behind all this.

Sounds like a new format.
Those guys are taking a huge risk with the threats and all.

Even though i haven't done drugs before, to me, the worst addiction is gambling (virtual soccer to be specific or any computer programmed bet)

Gambling is meant to be illegal but unfortunately the government is benefitting from the huge taxes the betting companies do pay.
