Nigerian investment platform Risevest has suspended a senior executive after old social media posts containing ethnic slurs against Yoruba women resurfaced online, sparking public outrage and raising fresh questions about accountability in the country’s tech sector.

The posts, shared widely on X, date back to around 2013 and were made from an account identified as @Cuntosaur, allegedly linked to Otas Evbuomwan, the company’s operations lead. The messages included repeated derogatory remarks about Yoruba women.

The situation escalated after a user, @pontrol_777, posted screenshots claiming the executive had also sent abusive direct messages in recent days, defending the earlier comments and issuing new insults. The account linked to the posts has since been set to private.

In a statement, Risevest said it had launched an internal review and suspended the staff member involved.

“Following an internal review, the staff member involved has been placed on immediate suspension while we assess her conduct and interactions within the team,” the company said.

Risevest added that it does not tolerate tribalism or bigotry, stressing that such behaviour contradicts its values.

Eke Urum, the company’s chief executive officer, said he became aware of the posts late and escalated the issue immediately to the leadership team. He described the content as serious and not something that could be dismissed lightly.

“Risevest was started as a company that is a home to everyone who wants to do great work, with respect and love for every group of people,” he said, adding that investigations so far showed no evidence that the posts reflected the executive’s behaviour within the workplace.

The company later reached out privately to the complainant, according to the user, and apologised on behalf of the executive. It also noted that a majority of its ownership is Yoruba, making the remarks particularly sensitive.

A TikTok user identified as Bryella has shared disturbing images showing live maggots found in a meal she purchased at Joseph’s Pot Restaurant in Owerri, Nigeria.

In her video, Bryella explained that after discovering the maggots in her food, she immediately reported the issue to the restaurant’s management. However, according to her, both the manager and a waitress allegedly dismissed her complaint, showing little concern about the seriousness of the situation.

She further claimed that instead of addressing the issue professionally or offering an apology, the restaurant inflated her bill, which she described as an unfair and retaliatory response.

The incident has since sparked outrage online, with many social media users calling for proper investigation, improved food safety standards, and accountability from the restaurant’s management.

Below are images of the meal as shared by the customer.

A report by The Cable links pro-Biafra online networks to global spread of Christian genocide in Nigeria narrative.

A new open-source intelligence analysis by TheCable has revealed that social media networks affiliated with the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) played a key role in amplifying claims of a “Christian genocide” in Nigeria.

According to the report, data from X (formerly Twitter) between January 1 and October 1, 2025, showed over 165,000 mentions of the topic, reaching an estimated 2.83 billion people, more than twelve times Nigeria’s population. Prominent hashtags included #ChristianGenocide, #LaraLogan, #TruthNigeria, and #BiafraExitNow, with the latter standing out as an unusual part of the conversation.

Confidence MacHarry, Senior Analyst at SBM Intelligence, stated that the “Christian genocide” narrative “was initiated by IPOB as far back as 2016.” The analysis noted that X accounts supporting IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu and advocating Biafra’s secession were among the most active in promoting the narrative online.

The report also highlighted that U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, who has called for sanctions against Nigeria, received over $1.8 billion in donations from AIPAC, a pro-Israel lobbying group, a finding that underscores the intersection of international politics, separatist movements, and religious narratives in shaping Nigeria’s global image.

The debate gained renewed attention after the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) rejected comments by Presidential aide Daniel Bwala, accusing him of misrepresenting its position on the issue following his visit to the association’s headquarters in Abuja.
