The spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi has vowed to sanction the female orderly of former Vice President and PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar’s wife, Titi, for carrying her bag at a recent event.
This verdict comes after a lady took to Twitter to share a photo of the orderly and questioned why a uniformed officer will be carrying the bag of a civilian.
@fify_ify wrote,
“When a private citizen can turn our uniform force member into her maid, why won’t the police forget their primary duty and only dance to the tune of the elites? @BenHundeyin is this how it’s supposed to be?”
See the picture below,
Reacting to the post, Adejobi expressed displeasure with the female orderly for agreeing to carry the bag, stating that it’s unacceptable.
He added that they will fish out the policewoman and sanction her accordingly.
“This is not acceptable. We have commenced necessary action on this. We will fish her out and get across to the principal. The AIG Special Protection Unit has been contacted to assist us get the woman police. Gradually, we will sanitise the system,”he responded.
This didn’t sit well with some Nigerians on social media and they tackled him for wanting to take action against the female orderly instead of Mrs Atiku.
Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), says financial technology (fintech) companies are disrupting the banking sector.
Emefiele said this on Tuesday at the International Association of Deposit Insurers (IADI) Africa Regional Committee (ARC) technical assistance workshop in Abuja, according to ThisDay.
The workshop themed ‘Normality in Turbulent Periods: The Stabilising Role of Deposit Insurance’ was organised by the IADI-ARC and hosted by the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC).
The event focused on the challenges of the financial sector regulators, including the CBN and the Nigeria Deposits Insurance Corporation (NDIC).
According to Emefiele, the rapid evolution of fintech companies has continued to alter the financial landscape globally.
He described the developments as “very disturbing”, adding that it has continued to disrupt traditional ways of offering financial services in the banking landscape.
Emefiele further said there is an urgent need for the banking industry regulators to guard their loins, “ensure that we can put in place strong regulatory framework and practices that should help nip in the bud, the unfortunate incident that may happen as we try to allow the growth of fintechs in Nigeria”.
The CBN governor, however, said interested fintechs can become banks by depositing N25 billion.
“Fintechs who want to be deposit-taking institutions should come forward and become a bank, bring N25 billion and be a bank,” he said.
Speaking further on the financial crisis, Emefiele said early detection of problems in banks, timely intervention, contingency planning, crisis preparedness and management were not a particular agency’s affair but required strong and effective collaboration among the major stakeholders within a nation’s financial services industry and the government.
“Our deposit insurance system (DIS), as a component of the financial safety-net arrangement, is the risk-minimiser model and has been very effective in the discharge of its mandate. The CBN and NDIC represent key components of Nigeria’s financial safety-net arrangement,” Emefiele added.
“That partly explains why we have been able to successfully resolve the series of financial crises that confronted us with satisfying results.
“It is instructive to mention that the CBN and NDIC have been able to deal with the emerging crisis in the nation’s banking system. The 2009 banking crisis, 2004 banking consolidation exercise and their subsequent resolutions, provided a reference point of the benefit for effective collaboration between the central bank and deposit insurer.”
Emefiele urged the IADI-ARC to increase its advocacy by reaching out to many countries in Africa to join the league of countries with DIS, adding that this would go a long way in strengthening the regional and continental financial systems for the benefit of all.
Big Brother Naija season 7 second runner-up, Bella Okagbue, has revealed that she didn’t mean it when she said she preferred her love interest, Sheggz, over the 100 million naira grand prize.
You would recall that the 25-year-old said in one of her conversations with fellow housemate, Doyin, that she’s okay with it if her relationship with Sheggz is all she takes out of the show.
According to her, since winning the 100 million naira grand prize was not assured, leaving the house with Sheggz’s love is worth the prize and more.
“I cant hide my feeling anymore, I really like this guy I don’t care about what anyone or Big Brother will say about us. I really cannot hide my feelings anymore. There’s no rule book to win the prize. Even if its this relationship that I take out of this house I’m fine”. Bella said at the time.
Well, during a recent interview with media personality, Elozonam, Bella said that it came out of nowhere as she was in her emotions and insisted that she had her eyes on the prize.
Elozonam asked Bella during the interview, “You said in the house even of you don’t win the 100million, you still got a man.. do you still feel that way ?”
Responding, she said, “We say a lot of things in the house but No!..saying that came out of nowhere.. it was just banters.. I think I should have won the 100 million naira.”

A Nigerian man has queried women who still pay their bills by themselves despite being in a serious relationship with a man.
The man in a video making rounds online said it’s embarrassing for a woman to still be financially responsible for herself when she’s dating a man.

He said,
“As a woman, how can you claim to be in a relationship with a man but you pay your own bills. A real man will always pay your bills for you. Your money is your money to keep. His money is for both of you.”

Nigeria’s first lady, Aisha Buhari has disclosed that her husband, President Muhammadu Buhari, suffered Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) for many years.
She reportedly said this at the ground-breaking ceremony for the Armed Forces Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Centre (AFPTSDC) initiated by the Mrs Lucky Irabor-led Defence and Police Officers’ Wives Association (DEPOWA).
Aisha said her husband battled with PTSD for years after fighting in the Civil War, being overthrown as military head of state and subsequent detention for 40 months without rehabilitation.
She said she became his physiotherapist and nursed him to recovery after she got married to him at the young age of 19 though it was a struggle.
“I want to thank DEPOWA for this foresighted vision of establishing a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Centre for our soldiers. Indeed, PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by terrifying events.
“It is a reality that soldiers and military families have to live with, despite its negative consequences. Being a soldier’s wife or a retired soldier’s wife and a wellness expert, I understand the challenges associated with PTSD and its impact on military families and the nation.
“My husband served the Nigerian Army for 27 years before he was overthrown in a coup d’état. He fought civil war for 30 months without rehabilitation; he ruled Nigeria for 20 months and was detained for 40 months without disclosing the nature of his offence.
“One year after he came out from detention, we were married, I clocked 19 years in his house as his wife, legitimately. I suffered the consequences of PTSD, because having gone through all these, and at the age of 19, to handle somebody, who was a former Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria’s Armed Forces, to tell him that he is wrong is the first mistake you will make.
“So, at the age of 19, I had to figure out how to tell somebody of his calibre that he was wrong or right and that was the beginning of my offence in his house, and contesting elections in 2003 and failed, 2007, failed and 2011, the same thing – all without rehabilitation – I became a physiotherapist.
“Finally, the whole nation rose against the misuse of power and bad governance. He only succeeded when it became a movement and here we are today. He ruled Nigeria before and he is ruling Nigeria now and this is the last time and final.
“Failing election for three times was a big blow to every contestant but those that have contested for just yesterday, a simple primary election, they are still living in a traumatic condition, I tried to console them, I tried to talk to them, some of them have switched off their phones up till today, just because of a primary election.
“You can imagine myself at 19 years, handling somebody that went to war, suffered coup d’état, then lost several elections, and, finally, getting to the Villa in the 2015. Also, for a woman to tell them that this is wrong or right in Nigeria and Africa is a problem.”

The online feud between music executives, Soso Soberokon and Harrysong, has taken a new turn as the latter has resorted to body-shaming the former.
The drama started after Harrysong in an interview with Frankly Speaking Podcast hosts claimed that ‘Soso’ sent people to kill him in Port Harcourt, adding that he (Soso) is not his friend as many believe.
Though he didn’t mention a specific last name, many assumed that he was referring to music executive and talent manager, Soso Soberoken.
The circumstances surrounding the way Harrysong left his former label (5 star music) also fueled the rumors that Soso really tried to kill him.
Soso did not take the claim lightly and slammed Harrysong with a suit demanding he retracts the statement and pay N500M or compensation. He also warned that if Harrysong fails to do so within seven days, he will be sued to court.
Reacting to the lawsuit, Harrysong, in a post shared on his Instastory, fired back at Soso for threatening to drag him to court and body-shamed him.
