₦airaland Forum

The way some of you create threads is just annoying.
Your thread is a question demanding for answers from responders;the most logical and sensible thing is you first start with the situation in your own area!
It's like opening a thread with the heading:how much is fuel in your area now?
The commonsense thing to do is then to post in the body of the thread:I am currently buying fuel at xNaira in x,y,z area,how much is it in your area?

peeps4u:
Following the suspension of the Nationwide strike earlier embarked upon by TUC & NLC which resulted into the shutdown of our national grid, do we have areas which now begin to have electricity?

Nairalanders, please comment so we can know if truly things are back to normal


Mods, you may push to FP for more visibility and responses. Thanks

Something is telling me that there is more to this story than this lawyer has put forward in his statement.
I doubt that such flagrant diversion of a customer's funds would take place,especially given the fact that the accounts officer didn't abscond,but is still actively engaged by the bank.
Hope this is not another case of a customer,rather than the bank trying to blackmail a bank,to garner unwarranted financial benefit.Or that his money is save,but he misinterpreted and misrepresented the cumulative sum involved after inte

Lawyer Drags First Bank Before CBN Over Allegation Of N550m Fraud


A civil society organisation, Centre For Socio and Economic Justice, has dragged First Bank of Nigetia before the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, over allegation of funds diversion to the tune of N550m.

The centre called on the CBN to revoke the license of First Bank of Nigeria for unsafe practices and adding customer's finds are supposed to be safe with the bank.

According to a letter dated May 29, 2024, the Director of the centre, Barrister U. I. Mohammed, said a customer of the Bank, Dr. Agbai Eke Agbai, who has been a dedicated and resourceful customer of the First Bank of Nigeria Ltd “First Bank” with Fixed Deposit Account numbers – 6924010002639 and 5021000788976 whose funds amount to the tune of ₦ 550,000,000.00 was illegally diverted, misappropriated and fraudulently taken by the bank.

A copy of the letter received at the Security Services Department of the CBN which was also sent to First Bank said a staff of the bank, Mrs. Shamlar Abosi, who is supposed to be the account officer of Dr Agbai, illegally tampered with her client's account.

Parts of the petition titled, "PETITION AGAINST FIRST BANK OF NIGERIA FOR FRAUD, DIVERSION AND MISAAPROPRIATION OF FUNDS BELONGING TO DR. AGBAI EKE AGBAI" read, "In 2014, Mrs. Shamlar Abosi, a staff of First Bank approached DR. AGBAI EKE AGBAI to deposit funds in First Bank for a Return on Investment, DR. AGBAI EKE AGBAI after listening to the advice of Mrs. Shamlar Abosi accepted to deposit funds in the bank for an agreed interest rate.

"Fixed Deposit Accounts were subsequently opened for DR. AGBAI EKE AGBAI with the above-mentioned account numbers. The sum of ₦ 300,000,000.00 (Three Hundred Million Naira) only was deposited in Account number-6924010002639 which took effect on the 21st day of February, 2018 with interest rate of 14.5% with 364 days tenor, and the sum of ₦250,000,000.00 (Two Hundred and Fifty Million Naira) only was deposited in Account Number -5021000788976 which took effect on the 19th day of October, 2018 with interest rate of 14.5% with 364days tenor.

"After the maturity date of the investment which is on the 20th of February, 2019 and 18th of October, 2019 respectively, In September, 2023, DR. AGBAI EKE AGBAI informed First Bank of his intention not to renew the investment and requested his money to be transferred to his saving Account domiciled with the bank with Account number-3079342444 immediately.

"Unfortunately, the money requested by DR. AGBAI EKE AGBAI to be transferred to his savings account has not been credited till date after numerous effort to remind the bank of its failure to carry out the request.

"It is also noteworthy and remarkable that Mrs. Shamlar Abosi who persuaded DR. AGBAI EKE AGBAI into investing in the Bank, who is also the account officer and business manager of the investment has failed to provide explanation regarding the money of DR. AGBAI EKE AGBAI."

Barrister Mohammed said it is without doubt that the funds deposited in the Fixed Deposit Account numbers – 6924010002639 and 5021000788976 by Dr. Agbai Eke Agbai has been criminally and fraudulently diverted by First Bank without his consent or notice.

He said after sending their agent and officer, Mrs. Shamlar Abosi to persuade him into investing in the bank, the Bank has failed to refund the money illegally taken from him despite the numerous pleas, warnings and notices.

"We urge the Central Bank of Nigeria to investigate the fraudulent activities enumerated above, refund the money stolen and illegal diverted by First Bank, and to invoke its powers bestowed on it under Section 12 of the Banks and other Financial Institutions Act, 2020 by revoking the license of First Bank of Nigeria for unsafe practices and other fraudulent dealings", the centre said.

rest and seeing that the bank doesn't want to pay him what they feel is unwarranted and not in the deposit agreement,he has resorted to this tactic,trying to tarnish their name in the hope it would make them succumb.

So 1000 chinese eating pork meat occasionally is what makes pig farming lucrative?

Same modus operandi everytime and they think acts like this will tame ugm?

Let Nigerians continue suffering.
That there has not been a spontaneous uprising and riots in the streets since things became unbearable for at least 80% of the populace shows Nigeria is a lost cause.

Not only 1billion dollars,they should have said 1trillion Dollar investment.
I always say it,once you see a so called foreign entity led by a Nigerian and coming with so called foreign partners claiming to invest humongous dollars into one investment or the other and going to visit a state governor,minister or president,just know it's a scam to grapple land,a lucrative landmass or outrightly scam the government.
This is the kind of scheme Bash Ali has been trying for decades,claiming he wants to enter into Guinness world records as the oldest boxing champion,but wanting the FG to sponsor the fight by giving him or one shady promoter several millions to organize the fight in Nigeria.

Why arrest only the executioners of that well orchestrated and ordered murders?
They were only executing the directive given by a certain jihadist,that later became the worst president,till now,that Nigeria has ever known,a certain supporter of APC Buhari,who was the one that then said,"baboons will be soaked in blood".This mob was only carrying out that order.
Buhari should be arrested and charged with multiple capital crimes too.He no longer enjoys immunity.

This is unfortunate ...someone was given a good fund to help another buy car in usa ...He refused to buy the car and started insulting the person that gave him.money . Despite all threat of going to the gods ...the guy was Adamant . THE good news is thst the guy died mysteriously in usa . You cannot hold what belong to another and still bra over it . I won't be surprise if this 100k ends this guys live on earth . The gods are not to be blamed

Big,fat lie.
So why have the gods not killed a single Nigerian politician that have stolen the country to bankruptcy and even caused the deaths of several thousands if not millions indirectly?
Why have the gods not killed all the yahoo guys that steal innocent people's funds through scams?
It's one bloody guy that scammed someone of a car not more than ₦5m that the gods decide to kill instead.
By the way what kind of god will take a life that cannot be quantified in monetary terms,just because of a cheap,useless car?

Sickening country
Nobody asks how a former state governor has at least ₦50b to establish a university solely on his own.
Yet,they expect the next governor to act legally and born again and not also dip into the state coffers.
The South South states of Rivers,Delta,Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa have historically produced the most corrupt governors Nigeria may ever know because of the oil derivation revenue they mostly corner into their private pockets.
See Dickson proudly showcasing a university he built without fear of EFCC or questions Nigerians should ask about the source of his wealth
Nigerians must come to accept that corruption,like tipping in the US,is an accepted and legal way if running our affairs.

What will someone not read or hear.
So they found microfilariae in your blood!

They are literarily saying they found young worm in your blood!!
That lab must have found a new way of detecting microfilarie

I don't know if they have soup o but what they have even the devil will not taste it twice. That's how during my service days when I was newly posted to Ota, I decided to go and have a taste of amala with that greenish soup that looks like baby poo.

I think everything was going well until midway into my meal tragedy struck. I was sweating so heavily due to how much pepper they added. Before I knew it, the need to immediate go to the toilet came upon me. I had to abandon my meal.

I rushed away from the restaurant looking for a public restroom to use. Non was available and it seemed I was going to defecate on my self. I felt like dying. After what seemed like an eternity, a nurse who noticed how uncomfortable I was, opened the restroom of a public health Care center there in Ota and I was able to get deliverance. Since then, anything yoruba I avoid.

The soup was not properly cooked,coupled with the poor hygiene that went with it.
Vegetable preparations like that need to be properly and hygienically prepared because they harbour a lot of germs,that most likely caused the severe stomach upset you had.

Moderator that can't write a simple correct heading.
Which one is "settlement them"?

Very simple solution is to convert their refrigerator to energy saving type and then use solar to power their refrigerator. Even if they loan capital for the business, they should be able to pay off the loan with good business management skills. A woman did just that in my area, today she is s big woman.

Rubbish.
Doing this will set the person back at least 500k.Where will an ice block seller see that kind of money and how long will she recuperate it?For even something that will later have one fault or the other
Some of u just read or hear about one high falutin idea and just post it without giving it thought.
Thats the rave with solar,solar,solar and people have foolishly invested millions only to realise its money down the drain because within six months or less,you are already replacing one battery or more and each battery costs nothing less than 100k.
its like buying a car and every 3months you are buying a new battery

From a more detailed explanation,its because the more that lady blocks the groom,the more money she is sprayed or given,to make her succumb for the bride.
As explained the lady is a family member of the groom and per that culture the groom is married to the women in the family,so for an outsider to now get him as husband,the lady has to be settled monetarily.
Some Nigerians,unfortunately have sold their commonsense for stipends because any reasonable person should have suspected that at worse it was either a joke or something in the mode of a skit.

The most riidiculous part of this post is the part that the company employees would not be affected.
There would definitely be some downsizing if not even total disengagement of Brass employees

Buhari was such a disaster in governance that he set the bar of governance so low,that no person could have done worse than him.
But never did one reckon there was was going be a tinubu,that there is something worse than disaster that buhari was,i.e,catastrophe.
Babablubulu has outdone buhari in economic hardship with disastrous economic policies;
_in insecurity,wherein kidnappings,terrorism and even intraethnic conflicts are now at an all time high leading to loss of lives and property
_Buhari,we all later realised was as corrupt as any leader nigeria had ever had,contrary to the pretences and propaganda about him,but at least he made some public show of calling some corrupt officials to be held accountable.Ex governors heeded efcc summons and were taken to court,even if it was all for show,but never was it heard that an ex governor not only disobeyed efcc summons,but made a mockery of efcc powers with a sitting governor,in public glare.
This is a president so lacking in competence,integrity and tact you just begin to wonder if incompetence can be so blatant in a normal human being without mental challenges

man was literarily asking for almost 40m a month to do not more than make a few calls,access open access information and maybe pay at most N1m in bribe per month for leaked information while all the while sipping cognac while lying beside someone in his bedroom.
That is almost N35m for doing practically nothing every month.
I dont even think punch or vangard newspapers with all their impactful stories and reports that hsve made goverments to take action and policy reversals or enactments make up to that much profit a month

Stop lying. U are not the only banker here. How much is he owing that will take him to prison?

Do you know how many defaulters case those scavengers are treating?

How many customers have your bank sent to prison because of bad loan?

Don't create unnecessary fear in him.

Op in the main time send them email to renegotiate and promise them to pay back.

Seriously warn them to stop blackmailing you.

Keep the mail and their response.


Pay them back once you have their money in a way convenient for you.

They are not been realistic about their interest.

I didn't know you had even responded before I replied the imp above^^
He thinks he is posting to illiterates here

Nice2023:
As ex banker,those telling u to change ur number are only deceiving u.

Hope u will change ur BVN and NIN also.

There is one good thing about fair money microfinance...they will eventually arrest u and ur acct and other accts would be blacklisted even if u pay up,u will still not have ur accts released because the process is the hardest part from CBN.

I really pity u because u are allowing some idiots here to fool u.

I have personally seen people who went to prison through fairmoney loan defaults.

Don't be threatening anyone with fat lies.
What he did is wrong,but on what basis will he go to prison?Loan default is a civil matter,at most what a judge will do is give judgement that any of his known assets be confiscated.
If loan default will land anyone in prison,then Nigerian prisons would be overfilled.
Unless he is meek and allow himself to be intimidated by one corrupt dpo or police officer,no one has a right to imprison him.
Cite the law under which a loan default lands someone in prison.
Prison kor,cell ni!

Due to rush to change the name,they could not even proof read what the typist printed

At least they won't blame this one on "Omo Ibo" that want to claim ownership of Lagos and then go and demolish shops and buildings of "Omo Ibos" in Ipaja.
That is the modus operandi.
These ones would be called for a meeting and after they resume their tax collection on Iyana Ipaja roads and markets.

Dybala11:
Madrid has an average team this year or what did I just read in your comment??
Average team on the way to win a double or is it treble this same season. God abeg. 😂😂😂😂😂

Yes,the Madrid City demolished 4-0 last year was stronger.They are operating a makeshift defensive line up and their midfield is aging and the young ones cannot be compared to Kroos and Modric of last year.Then in attack they have yet to replace Benzema,employing different makeshift forwards or a false 9.
That they won the LaLiga doesn't mean their team is great,just that the likes of Barca fell off badly and Athletico,even if you field Real and Barca Under 21s throughout the season,will most times come behind these 2.
Its not necessarily because a club wins a league means it has a very good team,their opponents may just have been poorer.

Rubbish!
Many women's breast does not become this saggy even after childbirth.
Yes there is a general increase in body size but this kind of pendulous breast after childbirth is not the norm.

Again, Pep "over thinking " is about to cost City.
In champions league final against Chelsea,in numerous cl matches and other matches,he wants to come across as a genius tactician,tinkering unnecessary and at the end messing things up.
What in God's name is stones that has been out for a while starting in a cup final?
Even Ake,what is he doing?Ake is good no doubt,but akanji and Dias had formed a good, understanding central defensive partnership.
He has 2 defensive midfielders in Kovacic and Rodri in a single tie cup final!Is City defending any first leg advantage?
It should have been Doku starting with Foden on the flanks,Bernardo being free floating as usual(defensive and creative) and DeBruyne solely creative.
If City loses,Pep is the fault!!
It's also time Pep does away with these over elaborate back passes and very slow,boring play city play most times.
That is the reason he always finds it a struggle beating the likes of Madrid.
Madrid has an average team this year,yet Pep decided to be ultra conservative till they scored and he was forced to react by telling the team to be faster with the balls.
Imagine a below average Utd team leading by 2-0.I just hope by the time he introduces Doku,it wouldn't be too late

This man is just disgracing himself up and down.
His legacy is already tainted.
Formerly,in Nigeria no matter the wrongs someone did in life or his/misspeaks,he/she would still be hailed and eulogized in death.
But with this present SM age and divisiness,even in death,the many divisiness things Soyinka said and his not too savoury life history would always be brought up.
This is a man that said he would assess Tinubu after a year, but instead of passing the most straightforward of judgements of how Tinubu has been a colossal disaster,he is still talking about Buhari,simply because Tinubu is a fellow Yoruba like him.
Disgraceful!

This one is a dumb fuc k!
How can electricity tariff come down when you are fixing the tariff and unlike the GSM industry,where there are monopolies assigned to zones.
IKDC has an area exclusive to it,like BEDC,EEDC, etc.
GSM companies operated freely countrywide,so the competition brought down the prices.
If MTN had been assigned to North,Glo SW,Airtel SE and SS for example,phone and internet services would have remained poor and very extensive.
In short,this talk is very annoying,it's like an illiterate and not a federal minister talking!

Even Buhari a renowned military dictator was not this intolerant of dissent and journalists.
I believe that the best way to control and liquidate any blogger engaged in the dissemination of fake news in the name of journalism is to sue that person to court and let the court return a guilty verdict and a hefty fine imposed.

Visiting Atiku,endorsing Abure,2 men that have serious issues of corruption and embezzlement hanging on their heads was a great misstep.
The one of Abure defies all commonsense and logic,what benefit would endorsing or even visiting Abure do to Obi's campaign,None!
Obi doesn't need Abure for anything so why give an impression of endorsing him!

Thought it's only Nigerians on SM that like posting fake stories.
(1)Was the twin jobless that she had time to cover for her at work?
(2)No matter the resemblance,there must be something off about her work that would trigger suspicion.
(3)Which kind of work does she do that her twin would seeminglessly fit in without missing some steps and arousing suspicion.
She conveniently didn't state the kind of work so people would not pick holes in her story.
She has got the fame she wanted from her fake story,so aim achieved
