Thank God It's Friday!! LIKE if this is how you feel about the weekend and comment to let us know what you are doing this weekend.

As seen on Naij website:

Senator Bola Tinubu, the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been accused of being the one behind the call for President Muhammadu Buhari’s resignation.

According to Daily Post report, this accusation came from some youths under the aegis of Northern Youths Movement (NYM).

This accusation is coming days after the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) disowned a group, PDP Media Watchdog, who called for the resignation of Buhari.

In a statement signed by its protem Chairman, Mallam Ishaya Jato, NYM alleged that the press statement from the PDP Media Watchdog actually emanated from Tinubu’s media office in Lagos.

According to the group, it was part Tinubu’s agenda to cut short the tenure of Buhari, adding that it was one of the reasons he was desperate to install his allies as Senate President, Deputy Senate President, Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives.

The group said: “The comment made in South Africa by President Buhari, regarding his age was deliberately hyped by Tinubu’s hatchet men in the media and the call for the president’s registration was aimed at gauging the reaction of Nigerians.

“Also, we are aware that Tinubu’s camp is working on the possibility of President Buhari not completing his term, either due to failing health or death.

“However, we youths in north are aware of his (Tinubu) plot against the north and we wish to tell him that we are watching.”

The group expressed optimism that President Buhari will not only complete his tenure, but also go for second term.

Some days back, a group identified as the PDP Media Watchdog had urged Buhari to resign following a statement credited to the president, declaring that his age will affect his performance rate as the leader of the nation.

In reaction, the presidency had said Buhari’s statement in Johannesburg was misread, adding that though the president could not be called a youth, but he has in quantum the wisdom, patience, temperance and forbearance that age brings.

Nairalanders, I was looking for a suitable woman to crown as Woman Crush Wednesday for today and it just struck me that most of the great women we know about are either late or in their middle ages.

Does it then mean we do not have young great Nigerian women?!

Anh-anh? How far?

Please, stop that breakdance.


Oya, 'Landers, help me clarify

DO YOU AGREE WITH THIS LIST? WHICH OTHER WOMEN MAKE THE LIST OF 10 GREATEST NIGERIAN WOMEN UNDER 40?!

Do you agree? Degrees Vs Experience, which is more important?

I really don’t know any other trick left in CBN’s bag that hasn’t been used to cajole the rest of us into the nirvana of cashless life. But Nigerians love the hard ways or how would you describe hauling cash around, endangering lives and limbs when the price of prosthetics are at all-time high?

A good example? Don’t worry I have a bagful of that.

At the Lekki Toll (I hate that damned contraption) you could line up for years to pay cash or just zip through the electronic gate in seconds. The kicker? It’s cheaper; it’s faster; and free to install. But you find guys lined up day after day, wasting their precious little lives away inside the heat and getting their cars nicked, just to pay cash.

Sanusi pushed hard for the cashless revolution, got banks to throw in a lot of commitment but what do we have to show for it?

In fairness, the country has witnessed considerable success. Using cards abroad is now common place. Paying on the POS no longer looks scary but rumor still has it that more than N1 Trillion in hard cash is still hiding under someone’s mattress.

So here’s the thing – if we won’t do it easy, we will do it the hard way. Just change the Naira and everyone must come to the banks to change it. You have to deposit your money in a bank, any bank, and not get it back in cash again.

Sounds impossible? Soludo almost got away with it. Buhari did it in 1984 and the world didn’t end.

This is how to do it.

Change the notes and give everyone a year swap
You can only deposit the money into the bank and so you have a year to open an account, get your BVN and your debit cards
At the end of the year, if you don’t change your dirty notes, your Naira loses 50% of it’s value and at the end of another year, it becomes zero, zilch, nothing.
Haven’t I talked about this before? Some things need repeating!

It’s a Sunday but with nothing important to do and rain doing stuff on the roof, I may as well apply my time to annoying cash hoarders.

Smart folks only!

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has admitted that its mobile money expectations are not met, despite N5 billion annual turnover recorded by operators.

CBN Director, Banking Supervision, and Chairman, Nigeria Electronic Fraud Forum (NeFF), ‘Dipo Fatokun who disclosed this at the Nigeria Electronic Fraud Forum (NeFF) June meeting held in Lagos at the weekend, said: “It is not correct that we have not made progress in mobile money. It is right that our expectations on mobile money has not fully been met and probably because we were very ambitious in setting the target”.

He regretted that most of the mobile money transactions are for subscription payment, and remittances, like mobile wallet sending money to account in the bank, or account in the bank sending money to mobile wallet.

Fatokun said the mobile money space started in Nigeria about two years ago, adding that about 21 Mobile Money Operators have already been licenced. “What we have discovered is that what has led to slow growth is because of lack of agency. For mobile money to be successful, you must have agent. The CBN did report setting up some conditions on agency banking which the mobile money operators are keying into,” he said.

“We have also released a guideline on super agent structure. We expect that some of the telcos, if not all, will serve as super agents. Two of the telcos already have our approval in principle, to make their agents available for mobile money”.

Speaking on the NeFF 2014 annual report with theme: “e-Fraud: Fighting the battle, winning the war”, which was also launched at the event, Fatokun said Nigeria needs to put necessary controls to avoid fraud in the e-payment space. “We have articles there to open the eyes of the public on how to stop electronic fraud. We have articles from different stakeholders. It will help you on what you need to avoid if you want your account to be safe,” he said.

He said the assessment of the e-payment industry is that the value and volume of electronic transactions in e-payment has been in the increase. However, he said the value and volume of fraud, though globally is on the increase, but in Nigeria is on decrease because of so many controls in place.
