Renowned Nigerian Writer, Chimamanda Adichie has shared her opinion about Igbo people in an interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.
Chimamanda wondered how Igbos can achieve Biafra when they can’t unite towards selecting a Nigerian president who is from the region.
In her words ;
“There is no Biafra. There are new movements but, for me, it’s a question of being practical. Where would the border be? What is propelling these movements is a sense of marginalisation, which I think is completely valid.
“But this idea that the answer is independence is what I’m not convinced of. Nobody has made a logical case for me. Quite frankly, I’ve observed the terrible leadership that we have in the southeast.
“Igbo people cannot unite if, for example, we say we want an Igbo president. And then we’re talking about Biafra. There is a lot of political work we need to do in the southeast.
“We need to do a lot of rethinking on how we strategise politically before we can talk about Biafra.”

A Nigerian lady embarked on a quest to find a partner for her mother who is in her late 60s.
The lady identified as Halima shared the photo of her mother on Twitter and wrote ;
”I am looking for a partner for my mother. Her former husband isn’t available Insha Allah. Someone kind, jovial, funny and in need of good company. She is a grandma in her late 60’s so any one above 65 would do. She doesn’t look her age and she is a good, fine, industrious woman”

Let me first out myself. I am a former Employee of FCMB. I worked there for a bit in the securities trading arm, CSL. CSL is a legendary institution that continues to be the corner piece of the Nigerian Capital Market. I was the Head of Local Business.
One thing that attracted me to the firm was its legacy. Its founder, Chief Subomi Balogun, was a hero of sorts to young Stockbrokers like myself. He had built the institution from his boot straps to the behemoth it is today with over 50,000 Shareholders.
My first day at work, I was taken in a ride by the then Managing Director Ladi Balogun on his way to a meeting with Aliko Dangote and in those few minutes he perfectly situated the values that drove the institution. Ethical standards and integrity were the words he kept repeating as he stressed the need for me to join as he attempted to reclaim market share in the Local Securities market.
I stayed with the Bank for over 15 months and having worked in several financial institutions including about four Banks and several stockbroking and Asset Management Firms, I can safely say that the ethical standards at FCMB stand shoulder high above its peers. The FCMB woman is well regarded, with access to the very top to discuss her issues. They even have the FCMB Woman Platform which seeks to build cohesion and gives the FCMB woman the much needed push to fulfil whatever it is is her career goals.
That said, the news of the alleged dalliance between the well regarded MD Mr. Adam Nuru and the former staff leading to the supposed siring of two kids by him while still in her marriage and ultimately leading to her husbands passing has captured the imagination of Nigerians powerfully.
Daily the keen observer is assailed with all sort of social media commentary, memes and the rest on the matter. I hear an online petition has been in circulation with varied numbers being quoted as signatures asking both the FCMB and the CBN to act on the matter. A memo allegedly sent out by Group Managing Director Ladi Balogun quoting that the issue could derail the achievements’ of the Bank in the just concluded year is leaked, fueling calls for his removal.
All these have thrown up very important questions on the ethical behaviors of Bankers and its effect on the Bank’s public image and much more importantly the profitability of the Bank on the one hand and the safety of public funds in its custody on the other. It is also putting the regulator to task on the issue.
But tarry awhile. Why all these fervor on an unsigned petition innocuously posted on social media. How do we move against a Man based on a mere allegation without anybody coming out to own up to the allegations. Up until this point as I write, I have not seen a signed petition accusing the man of all of these allegations. What we are seeing so far are online petitions from people on the back of the anonymous trigger post. Should we now then hang a man based on this? Based on public push which is as is the case quite emotional.
The arbitrariness of this matter and others like this especially on social media is scary. What this portends is that if Nuru falls then anybody can fall based on any story thrown up there just by anybody. Before I am castigated, please note that I am not taking a stand as to Mr. Nuru’s innocence or not or if he breached Banks ethical rules or what not. All I am just saying is that there has been no concrete complaint from either the Mr. Thomas accusing this man of this heinous crime, nor an official complaint from the Woman alleging rape, forceful sex or any type of abuse using his power as a boss over her. We have not even seen DNA certification confirming the parentage of the children. All that is in the public domain are pictures of children who have an uncanny resemblance to Mr. Nuru. Are there sufficient factual and legal evidence to begin to push for the Mr. Nurus head.
In the last five years, Nigerians have witnessed the growth of what some of us have called digital mobs who unlike their physical counterparts who roast with used tyres and bonfires, these ones do their with words on social media. The arbitrariness and disregard for processes and institutionalized structures for arbitration continues to weaken the levers that hold society together pushing us closer to anarchy.
The FCMB I know have well tested and well-ordered structures for getting relieve if your rights have been trampled. I have gone through it as a boss. I had lost my temper during a heated meeting and unwittingly threw a pencil at a junior staff. She went through the process and I faced a disciplinary Committee and was found guilty. The system didn’t care that as at that time I Was number 3 in hierarchy in our subsidiary and that this lady was very near the bottom in hierarchy, I was made to face the music. Same I am very confident would be the case if there is an official approach to this matter by any complainant even if it is me being Mr. Thomas Landlord.
The major issue here is not even Mr. Nuru and his supposed errant private member but our societies’ eagerness to throw caution and common sense into the gutters in matters like this while putting on the toga of arbitrariness in pushing this types of issues. I fear that our institutions for fear of Market share can bow to public pressure and take decisions that would further weaken them and infringe on the human rights of their people.
Please in conclusion, where is Mrs Thomas in all of these for only she can solve this problem. Her position would either indict or free Mr. Nuru, she has to answer some very salient questions – was she in an affair with Mr. Nuru while at FCMB, was she in that affair willingly or not and who truly is the father of the child and where she has no answer to the last question, would she willingly take a DNA test on this matter.
My advise to FCMB is to stand firm by its rules, do not be pressured to take hasty decision by a fickle social media crowd who will move on to the next hot gist, while you would have destroyed not only the career of a man who is possibly innocent and in the same vein destroy the fabrics that hold your institution together. Seek the facts and base your decision on those facts.
I wish you a fruitful review of the matter. But will I close my account with FCMB ‘cos the MD has two children with a married staff? I think not. Thank you.
Bayero University Kano (BUK) has cancelled the 2019-2020 sessions for all Undergraduate and Postgraduate programs in the institution.
The Senate of the institution approved the cancelation of the 2019-2020 sessions on Monday, January 4th.
This was made known in a memo signed by the university registrar Fatima Binta-Mohammed, and released after the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) suspended its nine-month old strike across public universities of the country.
It was gathered that before ASUU embarked on a strike in March 2020, BUK had already completed its mid-semester break for first semester of 2019/2020 academic session for undergraduates, while the postgraduate students had just resumed for the session.
New academic session for undergraduates will now begin on January 18th, 2021 (first semester), while the second semester will begin on May 3rd, 2021. For the Postgraduates, the senate slated January 18th as first semester, while the second semester will begin on June 1st.
Amnesty was also granted by the senate to Postgraduate students who did not register within the time frame. They are to do so before the new session begins.
Deborah Okezie, the mother of Don Davis Archibong, a student of Deeper Life High School, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, who was allegedly molested by his seniors, has revealed that her Facebook account has been disabled.
In a new video shared on another page by Mrs Okezie, she alleged that people from Deeper Life High School, went to her last child’s school to inquire about her home address.
The aggrieved mother, who have been actively demanding justice for her son, questioned why members of the school staff were looking for her home address. She further added that she will hold the founder of the church, Williams Kumuyi and the school management responsible should anything happen to her children.
In her words,
“Deeper Life High School people went to my little baby’s shool to make enquiry about my address. The reason I don’t know. You want to disable my facebook and come and kill me inward? People should not know what happened to me? If you get a hold of this video, share it. If you disable this one, I will come out of another angle and I will keep coming out until Don Davis gets justice since I don’t have anybody to speak for me. Foreign countries come and speak for me. They are disabling my account.
Why are they going to my baby’s school to ask about my address. A whole church. What for?
If anything happens to my children, Deeper Life and Kumuyi, I will hold you responsible”
Nollywood actress, Didi Ekanem has taken to her social media platform to warn other women to stop calling men broke.
In her view, it’s unacceptable for women to be calling men broke and say they won’t get close to any of them because of their financial situation.
She argued that being broke is not permanent and that a broke person can be rich the next minute.
The actress who also doubles as fashion designer further said if their own mothers married their broke fathers, what’s the point in mocking and rejecting men who don’t have money and refusing to establish any relationship with them.
Her post below;
You see this 2021 we are entering so, abeg my fellow sisters, no relationship motivational nonsense. Allow people to date who they want to date. If our mothers did not marry our broke fathers then, we will not be here. If you are lucky to find a man that takes care of you, lucky you then but don’t feel the need to make other women feel like they are unlucky because their destiny is different. Money is good but don’t make it a yardstick for a good relationship. Stop calling men broke. If they become armed robbers now, you will complain. If they become yahoo boys, you will say God forbid, I can’t marry a yahoo boy, yet you call them broke. A broke man today will become rich tomorrow. All the rich men you see and hear of today were once broke, yet women still married them. It’s not a sin to date a broke man, stop misleading young women please.

A Nigerian-British woman, identified as Abimbola Bamgbose, has died after she underwent liposuction, a fat-removal procedure used in plastic surgery, in Turkey.
The 38-year-old mother of three had flown abroad to do the treatment at Mono Cosmetic Surgery Clinic in Izmir, a city on the country’s Aegean coast.
It was gathered that she had initially wanted to get the plastic surgery in UK but had to resort to an option abroad, after realizing that the procedure was cheaper overseas.
She finally settled for an overseas package deal with Mono Cosmetic Surgery in Turkey for £5,000, which included airport transfers and accommodation.
Unfortunately, after the surgical procedure, she started experiencing severe abdominal pain, which eventually led to her death.
In the post-mortem examination, it was discovered that Bamgbose died from peritonitis and multi-organ failure following a complication of the liposuction surgery.
The husband of the deceased, Moyosore Olowo, has sued the clinic and the surgeon, Dr Hakan Aydogan, for £1million, claiming medical negligence.
“My wife was an excellent mum. My son has special needs and she was a calming influence on him. Now I am left alone caring for the children and it is really, really painful.”
