On April 24, 2026, a U.S. federal jury convicted key members of an international fraud syndicate, bringing the total number of people convicted in the case to 25 individuals. The scheme involved over $215 million stolen from more than 1,000 victims across the world.

The operation, known as Business Email Compromise (BEC), involved hacking into email accounts of individuals and companies, monitoring their communications, and then sending fraudulent payment requests that appeared legitimate. The fraud spanned 47 U.S. states and 19 countries, including the UK, UAE, Germany, Australia, and others.

Investigators identified several Nigerians or Nigerian-linked individuals among those convicted or who pleaded guilty, including Oluwafemi Michael Awoyemi, Emmauel Okereke, Olalekan Bashiru, Jeremiah Agina, and Ademola Balogun.


The syndicate gained access to email accounts, studied business transactions, and sent convincing fake payment instructions. Victims unknowingly transferred funds into accounts controlled by the group, after which the money was moved through multiple bank accounts and laundering channels. In one instance, a victim business transferred $2.7 million to a fake company account.

Authorities also seized about $1.2 million in cash, cryptocurrency, and checks, along with luxury items and a 4,423 square foot residence in Georgia linked to the operation.

All 25 defendants are awaiting sentencing, which will be determined based on their roles and criminal histories.

Cases like this continue to put Nigeria in a bad light internationally. While many Nigerians are working hard and making positive impacts abroad, the actions of a few individuals involved in fraud and cybercrime keep damaging the country’s reputation and making things more difficult for others who are legitimate.

Interesting post. While it’s true that some Catholic practices developed over centuries, it’s also fair to say that many Christian groups today — including Pentecostal churches — do a number of things that the Apostles equally didn’t do or practice exactly as we see today.

Here are 10 things many Pentecostal churches do that the Apostles didn’t:

1. Use microphones, musical instruments, and sound systems in worship — the early church met in homes, not auditoriums.

2. Hold crusades, conferences, and all-night vigils with themes and posters — the Apostles didn’t organize ministry that way.

3. Collect multiple offerings and “seed faith” donations — the early believers gave freely for needs, not as a transactional formula.

4. Operate personal ministries and brand names (e.g., “XYZ International Ministries”) — the Apostles served under one united church.

5. Build lavish auditoriums and stage designs — the first believers met simply in homes or open spaces.

6. Sell books, CDs, or monetize prophecies — ministry was never commercialized in Acts.

7. Declare “my father in the Lord” culture — though mentorship existed, it was not personality-driven.

8. Use titles like “General Overseer,” “Senior Prophet,” or “Daddy G.O.” — the early church had elders and bishops, not corporate hierarchies.

9. Make altar calls with background music, or learn Tongues to make music (speaking in tongues with lyrics) — salvation was preached and received by conviction of the Spirit, not stage atmosphere.

10. Preach prosperity as a central message — the Apostles emphasized holiness, perseverance, and the hope of eternal life.

Every denomination — Catholic, Pentecostal, or otherwise — has added human structures over time. Some of these help order worship; others drift from the heart of the Gospel.
What truly matters is not which group is “original”, but whether our faith, love, and obedience reflect Christ and His Spirit.

Let’s be humble, teachable, and guided by Scripture, not pride or comparison.
As Paul wrote in Romans 14:17:

"For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”

May we all return daily to the simplicity of Christ and let the Holy Spirit refine every tradition — Catholic or Pentecostal — to glorify God alone. 🙏🏽

Fake fake fake, scammers

veraponpo:
Hope keeps rising everyday with this government at the federal level.

If they can get agriculture, security, steel production (Ajaokuta and other related matters), and affordable transportation right, Tinubu's name will be in the history of Nigeria as the father of the new Nigeria.

They are going in the right direction.

Renewed Hope sincerely, Tinubu the father of New Nigeria 🇳🇬

A lady shared her experience of how a restaurant in Lagos gave her a robe to wear before allowing her to enter because they felt her outfit was too revealing.

Do you think it's right for a restaurant or any business owner to do that?

Useless irrelevant things, that's the only thing they are good at!!

In recent months, a new name has been circulating on Nigerian social media: "T-Pain." No, not the famous American singer; we're talking about Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria's current president. "T-Pain," as he's now known, is the latest nickname bestowed upon him by the Nigerian populace, a combination of Tinubu’s initial "T" and the "pain" many citizens feel under his administration. This moniker perfectly captures the general frustration and dissatisfaction with how things are being run in Nigeria today.

For those wondering how a president can go from "Jagaban" to "T-Pain," let’s dive into some lessons on how NOT to run a country:

1. Make Life Harder for the Average Nigerian
The first rule in the T-Pain playbook: remove fuel subsidies without a well-structured plan. For decades, Nigerians have lived with fuel subsidies that, while flawed, helped make everyday life somewhat bearable. Tinubu’s decision to cut these subsidies overnight threw the country into chaos. Fuel prices skyrocketed, leading to higher transport fares, inflated food prices, and an overall spike in the cost of living.

The immediate result? Pain. Everyone felt it, from the taxi driver to the market woman to the university student who could no longer afford transport. The gap between the elites and the everyday Nigerian widened further, and in typical Nigerian fashion, we gave Tinubu a new alias—T-Pain.

2. Pretend the Economy is Just Fine
While T-Pain’s administration insists things are looking up, Nigerians are struggling with a near-worthless naira, double-digit inflation, and a growing unemployment rate. The reality for most people is stark: they are barely surviving. In fact, more people have fallen below the poverty line in the last few months, while the government continues to make lofty promises of economic recovery.

This disconnect between government optimism and the painful realities of daily life only intensifies frustration. And that brings us to our next point...

3. Be Tone Deaf to the People’s Suffering
If you want to cement your reputation as a leader detached from your people’s struggles, always prioritize international trips and fancy meetings over addressing local issues. Many Nigerians have noted how T-Pain seems more concerned with attending global summits and shaking hands with foreign dignitaries than solving the pressing issues at home.

Whether it's the ongoing fuel crisis, insecurity, or education, T-Pain’s administration has often been criticized for offering little more than empty rhetoric while Nigerians face real hardships daily.

4. Ignore the Youth
Nigeria is a country of young people. With a median age of around 18, we are one of the youngest populations in the world. Yet, T-Pain’s government seems out of touch with the aspirations, frustrations, and demands of this demographic. Instead of actively engaging with youth-driven movements for change, the government often responds with silence, or worse, repression.

From the EndSARS protests to demands for better governance and opportunities, Nigeria’s youth are often treated as a problem to be managed rather than a force to be harnessed. This, of course, leads to even more resentment.

5. Provide Unclear Leadership
Another hallmark of T-Pain’s leadership style is a lack of clarity. Nigerians want to know their leader has a plan, a clear vision of how to steer the country forward. Unfortunately, much of what comes out of Aso Rock is either confusing, contradictory, or simply uninspiring. In times of crisis, Nigerians need strong, decisive leadership. What they get instead feels like more pain without any promise of a solution.

In summary, It’s no surprise that Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been rebranded as "T-Pain" in the Nigerian collective consciousness. His administration’s policies have inflicted more hardship than hope, and every misstep only deepens the sense that Nigeria’s leadership is disconnected from the everyday realities of its people.

If there's one thing we can all learn from the current state of affairs, it's this: If you want to run a country into the ground, follow the T-Pain method. But if you want to lead a nation to prosperity, listen to your people, plan carefully, and never lose sight of the real issues affecting everyday citizens.

For now, Nigerians can only hope for better days ahead, even as we laugh (through the pain) at the latest memes about T-Pain, our very own conductor of hardship.

Shame on this evil government of tinubu !!!

Peejayz:
remember say this tears na for 8 years.... Omo, sorry in advance ooo

sorry

Uselessly long write up

Simple English Translation

I set my alarm clock this morning to make sure I didn't miss President Bola Tinubu's much-anticipated address about the current unrest in the country.

He outlined the government's actions since taking office, aiming to prevent such unrest. Experts will closely analyze these actions for effectiveness. My main concern is the state's worsening handling of protests, which the president's address did not adequately address.

This shortfall emboldens security forces to act with impunity, trapping the nation in a cycle of resentment and reprisals.

Using live bullets against peaceful protests is a key issue. Even tear gas is often an abuse in peaceful protests. Hunger marches are a global SOS, not unique to Nigeria, signaling that people have reached a breaking point and testing the government's awareness of public desperation. The harsh response to these hunger marches is a step backward, even more so than the deadly ENDSARS protests.

It recalls colonial-era disdain, such as Hubert Ogunde’s folk opera "BREAD AND BULLETS," which criticized the colonial government and faced persecution.

Soyinka noted that security agencies should learn from more advanced, civilized security responses. He pointed to the 2022/23 YELLOW VEST movement in France, where no guns were used against protesters, even during confrontations.

Using bullets where bread is needed signals a dangerous regression, leading to more desperate upheavals, potentially even revolutions. It’s time to permanently stop using lethal means against protesters. No nation is too poor or insecure to set a positive example. Remembering history and committing to lasting change is all it takes.

Today's protesters might consider adopting the key songs of Hubert Ogunde’s "BREAD AND BULLETS" to remind everyone of the shame in failing to move beyond colonial methods. The cycle of violence must be broken.

In Nigeria's dynamic business and political landscape, few stories are as riveting as that of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah. A prominent businessman and politician, Ubah's journey from wealth to becoming one of Nigeria's biggest debtors is a cautionary tale about the complexities of business, politics, and finance.

The Rise of Ifeanyi Ubah

Ifeanyi Ubah started his career with a vision and determination that saw him rise quickly in the business world. He founded Capital Oil and Gas Limited, which grew to become one of Nigeria's leading oil companies. Ubah's business acumen earned him significant wealth and influence, enabling him to venture into various sectors, including real estate, sports, and media.

Diversification and Political Ambitions

Capital Oil and Gas's success allowed Ubah to diversify his investments, including ventures in the energy sector and the establishment of the Ifeanyi Ubah Football Club. His influence extended into politics, where he became a notable figure, eventually being elected as a Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District.

Despite his business success, Ubah's financial troubles began to surface as his companies took on substantial debts to finance their ambitious projects. The oil and gas sector's volatility, coupled with Nigeria's challenging economic environment, placed immense strain on his businesses. These challenges were compounded by allegations of financial impropriety and mismanagement, which further eroded confidence in his enterprises.

The Debt Crisis
The full extent of Ubah's financial woes became apparent when several banks and financial institutions listed him and his companies as major debtors. Reports indicated that Ubah's debts ran into hundreds of billions of naira, making him one of the largest individual debtors in Nigeria. The debts were linked to various loans taken to support his business ventures, which had struggled to generate sufficient returns to meet their obligations.

Legal Battles and Public Scrutiny

Ubah's debt crisis led to numerous legal battles as creditors sought to recover their funds. His financial troubles were widely covered in the media, bringing intense public scrutiny. The situation highlighted the risks associated with rapid business expansion and the importance of robust financial management.

Rip, the no one debtor in Nigeria

It is true that the lady accused of giving a fake testimony by Dunamis actually graduated from NOUN.

Here is her name (Anyim Vera) on the graduation list: 2262. It's worthy to note that the wrongly accused lady is also a serving police officer

Stage fright can lead to saying the wrong thing or speaking in front of an audience, like saying BSc in Law.

While Members of Dunamis church are currently trooping to her Facebook page to apologise other netizen have advised her to terminate her membership of the church.

Evil party

Daejumong:
It is a great irony to see great clergymen who had an illustrious ministry laden with unbelievable miracles, healings and testimonies die in their prime!
What could be the cause? Did they fall into secret sin? Did they backslide? Did they have dark secrets ? or were they taken to glory early to prevent them from falling into sin and eventual eternal perdition.
Could it be they got so busy with the flock and forgot to take care of themselves.
Look at the great Benson Idahosa, the father of Pentecostalism in Nigeria, he died in his office likely from a cardiac arrest. He was in his late fifties.

TB Joshua, arguably the most talked about clergy in the world, died after alleged health battles which ultimately culminated in his death. He was in his late fifties.

Dare Adeboye, son of the Baba Adeboye died in his sleep likely from a cardiac arrest. He was in his forties.

What are the likely causes so we all learn especially the pastors among us

Stress and Demands of Ministry:
Pastoral roles come with immense stress, including emotional burdens, long working hours, and high expectations.
The pressure to shepherd a congregation, provide spiritual guidance, and manage church affairs can take a toll on pastors’ health.

Lifestyle Choices:
Unhealthy habits, such as lack of exercise, poor diet, and inadequate sleep, contribute to health issues.
Some pastors may neglect self-care while prioritizing their congregations.

Mental Health Challenges:
Depression, anxiety, and burnout affect pastors.
The weight of pastoral responsibilities can exacerbate mental health conditions.
Isolation and Loneliness:
Despite being surrounded by people, pastors may experience isolation.
They often lack close confidants due to the pastoral role’s unique demands.

Spiritual Warfare and Attacks:
Pastors face spiritual battles and attacks.
The enemy seeks to undermine their faith, health, and well-being.

Suicide Risk:
Some pastors struggle silently with mental health issues.
The stigma around seeking help may prevent them from addressing their emotional pain.
Tragically, some pastors die by suicide.

In summary, the challenges pastors encounter—stress, lifestyle choices, mental health, isolation, and spiritual warfare—contribute to their vulnerability. It’s crucial to prioritize pastors’ well-being and support them in their vital role.

As the sun sets on the final day of 2023, casting its warm glow over the diverse landscapes of Nigeria, it's only natural for us to engage in a moment of reflection.

Nigeria's strength lies in the resilience of its people, and together, we can turn the page with hope and determination.

In the spirit of unity, let us cast aside the shadows of despair and embrace the dawn of 2024 with open hearts.

Let the lessons of 2023 serve as a guiding light, illuminating the path towards a brighter, more harmonious future.

In the coming year, let us prioritize empathy over animosity, cooperation over discord, and progress over stagnation. Our shared aspirations as a nation should transcend the challenges that may have marred our journey thus far. It is in the collective pursuit of a better tomorrow that we find the true essence of our national identity.

As the clock strikes midnight, let the chimes ring out not just as a farewell to 2023, but as a herald of new beginnings. In every mistake lies the potential for growth, and in every challenge lies the opportunity for resilience. Let us face the future with optimism, drawing strength from our shared heritage and the indomitable spirit that defines us as Nigerians.

May the dawn of 2024 be a canvas upon which we paint a narrative of unity, progress, and unwavering hope. Together, let us embark on this new chapter, mindful of the lessons learned, and with hearts aglow with the possibilities that a fresh year brings. Happy New Year, Nigeria!
