In as much as we don't usually believe some of these rhetoric news, we advise everyone attending church anywhere in Nigeria to be careful and vigilant.

Moreso, people should be careful whenever whenever they are in any public gathering being it wedding, birthday parties or political party meetings.

There are lots of evil guys everywhere with sole aim of causing mayhem.

The days are wicked.

A church known as Holy Ghosts Cathedral in the Enugu region of the former country would be attacked soon. The one known as Dokubo is currently orchestrating an attack in cooperation with the Fulanii terror organization. The mission is to detonate an explosive device in the mentioned church during service hours which would lead to massive loss of lives.

Averting this grave danger is absolutely simple, the church must immediately double all security personnel’s and also be on a lookout for any suspicious activity around the building. If this is neglected then you shall hear the terrible news in few weeks/months.

We shall remain Anonymous however as we keep watch.

RE: UNN LECTURER CAUGHT PANT DOWN!

We have come across a video circulating on social media involving a lecturer at the University of Nigeria Nsukka, and would like to make the following points:

The content of the video is unacceptable and should be completely condemned. Those responsible for creating and sharing it should be identified and arrested by security authorities. Sharing such content is not only irresponsible but also deeply harmful.

Have we considered the damage this video could cause to the lecturer's life and reputation?

If he were to take his own life because of the video, would those responsible not be held accountable?

What is the point of the video if the female student in question consented to the activity being shown?

Did the lecturer fail to grade the student after the encounter?

Let's not forget that it is a breach of agreement for a student to consent to offer s*x for a grade and then turn around and record the lecturer, creating a public scandal. What if the roles were reversed and the lecturer recorded the female student and released it online after she undressed?

Do we ever consider if we are truly being fair in these situations, or is our judgment influenced because the accused is a man?

There are countless instances of lecturers being s*xually harassed by female students at universities, yet these cases rarely come to light.

Please note that we do not support "s*x for grades," and we don't condone inappropriate conduct in a professional setting. However, it's equally wrong to record someone's private moments and share them publicly.

We urge all male lecturers to exercise caution and avoid situations that could lead to exploitation or reputational damage.

We may also encourage the male lecturers to start recording instances of harassment from female students for their protection.

Please, let us act with wisdom and caution in handling some sensitive issues.

Who knows this river?

This is Okporoko River at Akwa Ibom state. It is the only river in the world that flows uphill.

The water from this river doesn't stay inside a cup or any other container.

If u drink the water from this river, you will automatically vomit the water on the floor and the water will flow back to the River no matter the distance.

Is this not amazing?

WERE YOU AWARE THAT ERASTUS AKINGBOLA, CECILIA IBRU AND FRANCIS ATUCHE WENT TO PRISON?

HEAR WHAT EMIR LAMIDO SANUSI SAID ABOUT THEM.

NO REGRETS. CBN DID THE RIGHT THING ON TERM LIMITS FOR LEADERSHIP OF BANKS~SLS.

I think we must remember that everything boils down to context. And we should not naively believe the claims of some people that they are the "owners" of banks- especially the listed ones.

In almost all the banks that we took over, we discovered that these so- called owner managers set up SPVs, lent money to these SPVs, turned round and purchased their own bank shares with these funds -and that was how they acquired control. In blunt terms: they STOLE money belonging to depositors to buy the shares.

When the stock market tanked and the bubble capital burst it was those deposits that were entrusted to them which evaporated and we had to redeem.

To give one example, when we went into Intercontinental Bank, the bank owned 25% of its own capital through these fraudulent schemes. Akingbola did not buy his shares in Intercontinental with his own money- he stole deposits to fund his control. He ran to the UK and we followed him with the evidence. We established before the crown court what he did and the amount involved was in excess of N140b for which the court gave a worldwide freezing order. On the basis of the same evidence in Nigeria it took 11 years but Akingbola was finally jailed.

He was not the only one. Cecilia Ibru was jailed. Nwosu was jailed. Atuche was jailed. All this happened before us and people are criticising the regulator and moralising on behalf of those who OWN banks? How? With stolen money?

One of Akingbola's executive directors joined the bank as an officer and was his PA. Akingbola was MD of his bank for 22 years or so. All his so called EXCO were his "boys". Ibru appointed her son ED corporate. He would approve loans for their SPVs and she would send the money to her daughter in Dubai to buy property. For 3 years Ibru’s daughter won gold medals in Dubai for being an estate dealer. She was buying the real estate with depositors funds. We recovered assets then estimated at $1.2b at cost from Ibru alone- including over 200 pieces of real estate in the UAE, including property on the Potomac, in Abuja, Lagos and Portharcourt and private jets. All with depositors money.

These CEOs had stayed so long no one could call them to order. Not their boards, not risk management, not audit, not Legal. In one case the Board of Oceanic was bold enough to decline a loan recommended by Ibru. After the Board declined it she came to her office and approved it and it was disbursed.

If staying so long makes some CEOs that powerful and if that power was seen to corrupt why would we allow CEOs to overstay? If all banks were run like Citi or StanChart or IBTC this matter would not have arisen but we cant run a system based on miraculous exceptions. And is ten years not enough in a CEO position? Is there no benefit to something called succession? Is there nothing like key man risk?

Banks are not a business. Dangote group and Exxon mobil are. Banking is a profession. Banks are professionals guided by ethics. A bank is where you keep your money and expect to find it. If your banker can keep your money safe and make profit by trading it that is what we want. If he starts to make it his own he has to be reminded it is not his.

If these people are so smart they should go run a cement plant or build a refinery or a commercial enterprise. Anyone can make billions stealing money entrusted to them it is not intelligence. Just plain thievery. And this is why every chance they get they just steal and buy property and private jets and yachts. It is not capitalism but prebendalism.

The arrogance begins when these bankers who own a tiny percentage of the total capital at the bank's disposal think they own the bank. They do not. And the Central Bank is not there to protect the rich and powerful shareholders and management but the poor and vulnerable depositors who trusted us and kept their savings in these institutions. Some people just dont get it.

With the CBN the depositor is King. It is hypocritical after everything we know to pretend that these criminals are bank owners. They never were. And to make the system safe we have to learn lessons and not wait for the next Akingbola or Atuche or Ibru to happen on us.

It may well be that someone else sitting in that office with all this information may have ideological sympathies for shareholders and management and believe I had gone overboard in protecting depositors.

My comment is that such a one should be at the stock exchange and not the central bank. Term limits are among the policies I am most proud of and yes- we demystified all the minigods and oligarchs. But none of them was a target.

The only target was to protect depositors and keep our banks safe.

I am publishing my CBN memoirs next year inshaallah. The title is " Confronting vested interests: Central banking in a rentier economy". The title says it all.

Why is our people so mean?

How can GOC Ajah and his team be this mean?

Let there be justice for these teachers.

Let Gov. Peter Mbah stop this nonsense.

RE: LETTER OF DISMISSAL

Over the past weekend (March 16, 2024), there was widespread public outcry following the dismissal of several primary school teachers in Enugu State. Reports indicate that the Enugu State Universal Education Board (ENSUBEB), chaired by Hon. G. O. C. Ajah, initiated these dismissals.

The letter which was routed through the Education Secretary, dated March 14, 2024, titled Letter of Dismissal and signed by Ugwu Evelyn N. (Mrs) on behalf of the Executive Chairman reads "I am directed to refer to the resolution of the ENSUBEB full Board meeting held on March 5, 2024 and inform you that the board has approved your dismissal from the state teaching service with effect from March 1, 2024 for an act of serious offences against the provisions of Public Service Rules (PSR) which has become an embarrassment to the Board and unbecoming of public service officer". The breakdown of their offenses are thus;

1. Absence from duty without a written permission.
2. Breach of the Communication Channels in Public Service.
3. Insubordination.
4. Contravening the provisions of

Upon investigation, it became apparent that those sacked were individuals who had courageously approached the governor to advocate for the full implementation of the long-awaited minimum wage for primary school teachers. Despite the governor's subsequent action to implement the minimum wage in response to their advocacy, ENSUBEB opted to victimize them for daring to demand what rightfully belonged to them.

It is worth noting that the current minimum wage was approved and enforced in April 2019, yet these teachers had not benefited from it nearly five years later. Previously, they had resorted to industrial action during the previous administration to highlight the mistreatment they endured, and consequently reached a promising agreement with the previous governor.

Considering the reasons cited for their dismissal, it is evident that the board resented their initiative in approaching the governor without seeking permission. However, it is crucial to recognize that these teachers had patiently waited for ENSUBEB to address their minimum wage concerns to no avail.

Furthermore, the inadequate salaries received by these teachers make it practically impossible for them to afford daily transportation and other basic needs, hindering their ability to attend school regularly.

In one of our letters to the governor regarding ways to enhance the state's primary education system, we proposed the construction of a room and parlour staff quarters to mitigate absenteeism issues in our primary schools.

It is disheartening to witness individuals lose their livelihoods amid the severe hardship currently affecting Nigerians. It is even more troubling that someone could be dismissed simply for advocating for the government to do the right thing.

At present, it appears that these teachers were terminated solely as a means for the board to express its displeasure at their engagement with the governor regarding their rights. We noted that the dismissed teachers were not afforded the opportunity to face a disciplinary committee for a fair hearing.

Our efforts to reach the Chairman of the Board through his WhatsApp account have been unsuccessful thus far.

We therefore publicly openly appeal to the governor to intervene in this matter concerning the actions of the Enugu State Universal Basic Education Board.

Furthermore, we call upon the general public to stand against such acts of inhumanity in Enugu State.

No use your hand kill yourself.

No competition in destiny!

The person wey kill him himself, na him lose pass.

In January 2019, Omotola Jalade shared on her IG that she was grateful that at 40, her last child is already in the University. Remember she has four kids and she married quite early.

Funke Akindele (Jenifa) congratulated her on the post. Funke was 41, and just had her first babies in December 2018.

Now, if you try to compare these two women, you'd fail at it because they are both accomplished. Will you say Funke is unfortunate for just having her first babies at 41 while Omotola's last child is already in Uni?

My point? Stop comparing yourself with others! Your life journey isn't the same with anyone, irrespective of societal expectations.

Not everyone will get married in their twenties, not every couple will have a baby nine months into marriage, not everyone will become a millionaire in their thirties, some people will get their dream jobs at 40, it doesn't mean they've failed. Some will become CEOs at 55.

Please learn to focus on your life. I know it's a difficult thing to do in this era of social media where everyone seems to be doing well in life except you. Don't compare your life journey with others, not even your classmates.

There are only CLASSMATES, there are no LIFEMATES. You're your only mate in life.

I have seen someone that married at the age of 25 but never had a child for more than 20yrs while another got married at the age of 35 and gave birth 9months in the marriage.

I have seen a guy that became millionaire at the age of 25, married with Children but died at the age of 32.

Amarachi Ugochukwu who was gainfully employed in a reputable organization killed herself at the age of 32 because of bad economy while there are still many of her course mates still looking for a job no matter how small the salary could be.

Whenever you're tempted to compare yourself with others (which makes you to feel pressured and sad), come back to this post and digest every word. So you better save it, because I will too.

Please, don't kill yourself!!!

Don't go about telling lies about people with the hope of apologizing if caught.

Some of the damages it may cause may be irredeemable.

Avoid defamatory gossips.
Avoid false information.

Be sure of what to say about a person.

Grab a breakable plate and throw it on the floor

-Okay, done !
-Did it break?
-Yes, it did
-Now say sorry to it.
-Sorry
-Did it go back to how it was before?
-No, it didn't
-Do you understand?

Sometimes, Sorry can't fix everything..

Some broken lives cannot be the same again.
The lives you tore with your blatant lies, wrong accusation, negative criticism and attitude for no just reason might not be the same again.

Mind how you treat people in this life.
Law of Karma is real.
The life you don't create, don't be the one to destroy it!!

Please, be careful.

Physical look could be deceptive.

I PITIED MY OLD classmate

I met an old class mate we had not seen each other for about 30 years.

When I saw him again, this time at a hotel lobby, he was looking simple. He wore simple clothes. I felt touched.

He walked up to me and was glad to see me again. But deep within me I was not impressed with his status compared to mine and poor me, and I couldn't hide it.

We exchanged contact details and I could see the joy in him as he collected mine.

I told him I would drop him home in my brand new Range Rover and I pointed it to him. He declined and said he had already called for his car. It looked old, a 2001 Honda Accord.

I invited him the next day for lunch at my house. A part of me wanted to impress him, to show off my success and affluence to him; while another was to discuss opportunities and possibly help him.

He drove to Parkview where I lived. He looked impressed with my home. I had taken a heavy mortgage. In fact, I was heavily in debt. We had lunch. He told me he was into small business and particularly real Estate. I brought up more business discussions, but he didn't sound too interested. I asked him how I could help him. He said he was fine. I even told him if he was interested, I could help him secure some loans. He looked at me and smiled.

He told me he would invite me over soon to his place. His old car came for him. I was grateful to God for what I had. “Fingers are not all equal”, I thought to myself. I was lucky. I worked in a good place.

Two weeks later, my wife and I went to see him in a remote area. Initially, my wife was reluctant to go because she was not impressed with the man's status as to warrant our visiting him in his house. But I was able to convince her that we were close friends in College.

We saw the Estate. We asked for directions to his home. Those leading us spoke his name with deference.

It was a simple but lovely home. A 4-bedroom bungalow. I saw 4 cars parked in front. We entered his home. It was simply elegant with a touch of class inside. He welcomed us warmly.

Lunch was well served.
His wife called him Papa Onos.

During lunch, he asked about my MD. He said they were friends. I saw a company gift on one of his tables nearby. That company owned about 38% shares where I worked. I enquired from him about it. He smiled. He told me he owned the company. He also owned the Estate.

I did not know when I called him sir. I was in awe of him too.

I had learnt a lesson in humility, A big one. Appearances are deceptive. He noticed my discomfort.

Driving back home, I was very quiet. My wife was humbled and extremely calm. I could perceive the thoughts in her mind. I looked at myself. Living on loans, heavy loans and showing off while someone who pays my salary is quite modest and living a simple life.

Indeed Deeper Rivers Flow In Majestic Silence.
Adjust your perception towards others this year.

Read, learn and take a good step of change.

Stop rating people based on physical appearance.

Stop Fake Life!

Let us reorientate this generation.

The rate of su***de is alarming.

Dear Youths and Nigerians,

It is longer news that we are facing austerity measures in our dear country, and hardship is bitting harder.

Unfortunately, the current hardship in Nigeria is not natural, but man-made.

There have been several incidence of fund misappropriation and diversion.

This most unfortunate is that the fund stolen from us are not invested in our country, while there has been the allegations of people keeping funds idly in their personal vault.

Having heard the ugly death of Amarachi Ugochukwu, a 32 year old lady gainfully employed by Globus Bank, I am forced to advise us to start taking some necessary steps to save our lives and the lives of the people around us.

I hereby advise us thus;

1. Resist any undue pressure or advantage.

2. Rise and speak against any ill governance or decision no matter where it is taken and who is involve.

3. Always make your mind known. Don't ever become a puppet or slave to anyone in the name of loyalty.

4. Don't take deadly offer or appointment no matter how juicy it seems.

5. Take up a genuine job that will give you peace of mind. Remember there is dignity in labour. Moreover, an ideal mind is a devil's workshop.

6. Beg when you don't have no matter how shameful it may look.

7. Endure what you cannot. Don't ever join them if you cannot beat them.

8. Create happiness for yourself. Happiness does not depend on the amount of money one have.

9. Create hope for yourself even when it seems there is no hope.

Please no matter how worse the life may be treating, don't commit su***de.

SU***DE IS NEVER AN OPTION!

Cheers!

The story of Amarachi Ugochukwu, a 32 year old lady and staff of Globus Bank is tragic and pathetic.

It left a lot worries in the minds of the concerned persons.

It is worthy to advise the bosses and leaders in the society to mind the kind of words they say to their subordinates and/or subjects.

Oga in the office, stop bullying your subordinates. Bullying can cause death.

Are you a leader or occupying any elected or appointed position, stop degrading your subjects. Degrading can cause death.

Let us learn to talk to people with respect and/or regards. You must not shout, humiliate or embarrasse someone to show that you are the superior.

As for you battling one problem or another, SPEAK UP. Silent is never golden in this matter.

SILENT is an ENEMY.

Su***de is never an OPTION!
