I think it's their culture.
Someone posted an article here on Nariraland sometime ago about some things he appreciated in the Western region (Yoruba), and one of it is that they will not hold a party or give food when their young die, but in the East, the reverse is the case.

Factcheck0001:
Like seriously it is now that I really understand that obi is just playing to the gallery, the guy is just looking for cheap fame.


Let's analyze using common sense, Buhari paid subsidy till June and made only provision till June in the budget for subsidy.

A new president took over in may 29, meaning he had just few days subsidy provision in d budget will lapse.


Now obi is telling us he will use another way to tackle it,obi should b asked d following questions

Will he borrow immediately to make provision for subsidy?

Where will he get money to subsidize before using his own method?

Which country or body will give a new president loan?

The reality is that obi knows the kind of people he's talking to that they won't bother to check

If not they should ask him those 3 questions n watch him go numb

I will suggest you read the post again for better comprehension. What you wrote is out of context.

The UK government has threatened to sue former Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich to make sure the money from the club's sale goes to Ukraine.

The £2.5bn in proceeds have been frozen in a UK bank account since the sale, with Mr Abramovich sanctioned after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The UK government wants the money to be for Ukrainian humanitarian aid, but Mr Abramovich has said he wants it to go to "all victims of the war in Ukraine".

In a joint statement, Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Foreign Secretary David Lammy said: "While the door for negotiations will remain open, we are fully prepared to pursue this through the courts if required."

They said they wanted "to ensure people suffering in Ukraine can benefit from these proceeds as soon as possible".

They added: "The government is determined to see the proceeds from the sale of Chelsea Football Club reach humanitarian causes in Ukraine, following Russia's illegal full-scale invasion.

"We are deeply frustrated that it has not been possible to reach agreement on this with Mr Abramovich so far".

The delay in releasing the funds centres on a disagreement between the UK government and his lawyers.
Mr Abramovich - a Russian billionaire who made his fortune in oil and gas - was granted a special licence to sell Chelsea following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, providing he could prove he would not benefit from the sale.

He is alleged to have strong ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, something he has denied.

He cannot access the £2.5bn sale proceeds under UK sanctions, but the money still legally belongs to him.

When he announced his decision to sell the club, he said proceeds from the sale would be donated via a foundation "for the benefit of all victims of the war in Ukraine", which would include those in Russia.

The UK government has pushed back and argued that the funds should only be spent on humanitarian efforts inside Ukraine.

A House of Lords committee said last year said it was "incomprehensible" that Mr Abramovich's promise to use the funds to support Ukraine remained unfulfilled, and that the assets remained frozen.

"This impasse reflects badly on both Mr Abramovich and the government, which ought to have pushed for a more binding commitment," the report said.

It is hard to believe that 52% of every naira made goes to the federal government. If Dangete Cement's turnover is 1 billion in a year, 52 million will go to the Government's purse

Have you ever wondered why the EURO Competition is hosted June-July,
Why is the FIFA 2022 World Cup hosted in Qatar in November-December instead of the usual June-July?
The answer is simple: THEY ALL PLAY TO THEIR STRENGTH

EURO is being hosted in June-July because that is when their weather is favourable and everyone can come out, Qatar hosted FIFA in November-December because that is when their weather is most favorable.
AFCON is hosted January-February because that is when the weather is favourable to us, no rain to disturb and others.
Nobody wants to host a competition when the weather will make them postpone matches.

In as much as I blame Carragher for his big mouth and baseless comments....

I still blame the organizers of AFCON. How can a major tournament like this be scheduled in the middle of the season when major leagues are ongoing, every two years? In some cases, players would choose to stay back with their clubs instead of playing at the AFCON.

I also blame our politicians that have refused to develop our homelands. With the enormous resources that abound in Africa, there's nothing we can't achieve here; functional leagues, good stadium and all... Where would that big mouth Carragher see the chance to talk trash!

Trendy247:
I specifically mentioned Zenith bank ATM card, not app.. Are u aware you can fund your opay account with any of your bank cards?

I'm aware and I use the option as well. But if you are using it for the first time, there are hurdles you have to overcome (sending a code to phone number linked to the ATM for verification) if you pass that stage, opay will still demand for the tranfer code/PIN before you can complete the payment.

AmazingELixir:
How did the ab.oki get her password or biometric to effect the transfer...this story is suspicious abeg.

I wanted to say the same thing because you cannot reset your zenith bank app without your card pin which the thief didn't have. Also, there is a password for login and another for password for transfer. The same thing for OPAY, although most of the time it open without asking for login password but transfer password is needed before you will be able to transfer any amount.
