No explicit word for sale!
By using the phrase Hotel available, you can only assume that he was referring the EFFCC building as an Hotel, no one can prove that.
He played a long ball and still kept possession.
But here in Nigeria, He can be victimized by just doing this.

Who are the benefactors and what was their intent in giving these gifts? As attorney-general, won't receipt of these gifts make you pervert justice, turn a blind eye to their crimes and provide cover for them? |

DeLaRue: Zenith is now a mammoth bank, but the market (stock market) continue to value GTB more.
Despite being smaller than Zenith and Access Bank, the market has regarded GTB as the best pound for bank in Nigeria for several years hence GTB has been the largest Bank in Nigeria by market capitalisation for several years.
GTB = Porsche - consistent, super efficient, great performer Zenith = Mercedes Benz - big, solid reputation, potential to attain more Access = General Motors - giant, average performer, uninspiring First Bank = old, disoriented, and struggling to regain lost glory.

ExudeLoveToAll: They have smart legal minds and they are loosing cases everyday in court because of their illegal dealings with customers? It's just that Nigerian society isn't legal smart else you will have plenthora of court cases emanating as a result of bank breaches every second in Nigeria. Certainly, you will lose cases if you have illegal dealings. When the bank is intent on recouping their (depositors) funds, you will know that a whole department is dedicated to legal, not to mention the other senior lawyers they will hire for the case. Of course you cannot win every case as many factors may be at play. But check how many loan cases they have lost against how many they've won. |

giftson102: There is one banking truth in this country that will shock you. And the banks will never tell you this.
Because it is one of the biggest tools they use to debit people’s accounts without warning. And Nigerians, out of fear and ignorance, think it is normal.
But this is not normal. It is illegal. And you can sue the bank or report them to CBN.
Let me explain it clearly.
You see that thing that someone will send you money and the bank will automatically deduct or take all of the money for loan repayment?
By law, no bank in Nigeria has the right to debit your account for any loan repayment unless you signed a written debit mandate.
Not “verbal agreement.” Not “you applied on the app.” Not “the loan officer said so.” Not “you clicked accept.” Not “we assumed you agreed.”
Even if you are owing Billions, there must be a clear, documented, signed mandate giving the bank permission to take money from your account before they can legally do so.
This is a Central Bank of Nigeria consumer-protection rule, and it protects Nigerians from unauthorized deductions, intimidation, and exploitation.
So why do banks get away with illegal debits?
Because most Nigerians don’t know the law. (I don’t know why no musician has produced “Show Me the Law Song” we need such a song because most Nigerans don’t know the law.)
Most people don’t know they even have this right. Most don’t know debit mandates must be signed physically or digitally with proper documentation. Most don’t know they can challenge the deduction. Most don’t know they can demand the signed mandate. Most don’t know the bank must refund if the mandate doesn’t exist.
So the banks take advantage of the ignorance.
They debit you from another account. They take money from your salary account. They clean out your savings. They go into dormant accounts. Some even enter joint accounts. And when you complain, they intimidate you with technical language.
“System flagged your account.” “Your BVN is linked.” “It’s part of the loan terms.” “It was in the app.”
But the law remains:
Without a signed, specific debit authorization, the bank has no legal right to touch your money.
None.
What you can do starting today: -Ask your bank to show you the signed debit mandate on any loan you owe.
-If they cannot produce it, request an immediate refund.
-If the bank refuses, report them directly to CBN Consumer Protection: cpd@cbn.gov.ng
-Attach your bank statement and complaint. -CBN usually forces the bank to refund the unauthorized deduction.
Banks fear CBN queries more than anything else.
Know your rights, but most importantly, pay your debts. Banks all over the post |

giftson102: Try to read and understand.. No conventional bank in Nigeria gives out loan without a written and signed documentation. The emphasis here is on Fitech companies or banks that keeps harassing people over loans... You should read what you wrote again. The subject has "banks " . In the post too, you kept referring to banks. Now you are saying fintechs. Are fintechs not licensed? Without proper licence, how will they execute direct debit mandates on accounts? Do you think fintech debit mandates/requests will be honoured by banks if they are not licensed? Or you think anybody can debit anybody and expose the banks to litigation? Even the fintechs giving out loans would have obtained consent and other permissions electronically. Shebi you go just click "accept" and "continue". That is giving consent It is not their fault that you don't read terms before clicking. No dabble in matters above your pay grade. |

You need to believe in the thing for which position has been given to you. In other words you need to have buy-in and believe in the vision. If he doesn't have buy-in should he still accept the position? Was he consulted before being offered the position? |
