Business / ‘Anyone Caught Abusing The Naira Will Face Jail Terms’ – CBN Warns Nigerians by max001: 1:52pm On Dec 13, 2017
The Central Bank of Nigeria on Friday warned Nigerians against abusing the naira notes.

The apex bank said anyone caught abusing the naira would be prosecuted and if convicted the person risked six months in jail or a fine of N50,000.

An official of the Currency Operation Department at the CBN headquarters, Mr. Samuel Shuaibu, disclosed this in Calabar, Cross River State capital, during the commencement of the ‘CBN Fair’, which was to sensitise residents of the state to the appropriate use of the naira.

The fair had the theme, ‘Promoting Financial Stability and Economic Development.’

Shuaibu said the abuse of the naira was not in line with the CBN’s policy, adding that offenders would henceforth be arrested and prosecuted.

According to him, the awareness programme was also aimed at sensitising the public on online transfer system, how to identify fake currency notes, how to approach the CBN for complaints, amongst others.


He lamented the fact that Nigerians accord more respect to the United States Dollar than the naira, saying Nigerians ought to appreciate and value the naira because it serves as a symbol of national identity.

Shuaibu said, “The naira has suffered abuse from majority of Nigerians. Today, we find some people spraying the naira at occasions, soiling it, writing on it, squeezing it while some are hawking it.

“The CBN spent a lot of money in the printing of these naira notes. We urge Nigerians to respect the naira and value it. Anyone caught abusing the naira will risk a jail term of six months or pay a fine of N50,000.”

He also urged Nigerians to desist from keeping money at home, adding that such money could be gutted by fire or carted away by criminals.

Also speaking, the bank’s Head of Development Financial Department, Mr. Chukwudum Nzelu, stated that the Anchor Borrowers Programme of the apex bank had led to an increase in the local production of rice from 30 to 70 per cent.


Nzelu added that the CBN was also designing other agricultural programmes that would engage thousands of the Nigerian youths in meaningful agricultural ventures that would make them self-reliant.

The Branch Controller of CBN in Calabar, Dr. Graham Kalio, urged the general public to always visit any CBN branch close to them for complaints.

After a outstanding performance at his ongoing Concert last night in Uganda, Starboy Wizkid was crowned as a King live on stage to the admiration and acceptance of all.
Wizkid who recently won The Best International Act at the 2017 edition of the Music of Black Origin (MOBO) Awards, recently voiced out his concern with how African artists are treated by international show organizers.

The Manya Singer called for equal treatment for African artists, saying it’s either they’re shown same level of respect accorded their foreign counterparts or none at all.

“If you are not going to show us the same love you show your international artists on the main stage, don’t show us love at all. We have our own people”, Wizkid said.

Celebrities / Breaking News: Veteran Nigerian Comedian, Moses Olajumo Aka Baba Sala Is Dead by max001: 9:47am On Nov 29, 2017
According to reports reaching us at Fabinfos, Veteran comedian and filmmaker Moses Olaiya, popularly known as Baba Sala has passed on.

He died on the 28th of November 2017 at the age of 82.

The late comedian, who was in limelight for decades, had solicited for funds to further his treatment.

Baba Sala, disclosed his illness at a briefing held on his biography due for presentation on December 4, where he looked frail and spoke with difficulty.

“I need help. Nigerians should help me. I am not dead yet, they should not let me die suffering”, he said.

Baba Sala’s first son, Reverend Dele Adejumo, had said the octogenarian was not suffering from old age but lack of funds for medical treatment, adding that his investments had all been wrecked by poor management.

Adejumo said, “He has investments but they have all been wrecked by mismanagement. He also had a three-storey building in Mushin, Lagos which he had to sell to offset debt incurred when his work, Orun Mooru, was pirated.

“We still have some of his recorded works not in public yet but machines that will be used to transform them to an acceptable format are not easily available. We do not have the kind of money they are charging us.

“We have been told that baba needs a lot of money for medical treatment abroad. He is suffering from a stroke and other ailments.

“There are many people of his age who are not like this. We are trying our best as family members. We take him to the teaching hospital weekly but he needs proper medical attention.”

Significantly, Baba Sala started his career in show business as a Highlife musician, fronting in 1964 a group known as the Federal Rhythm Dandies where he tutored and guided the jùjú music maestro King Sunny Ade who was his lead guitar player.

Celebrities / How I Feel When People Say I Use Church Money To Fly, Maintain Private Jets by max001: 2:08pm On Nov 27, 2017
Founder and General Overseer of the Living Faith Church also known as Winners’ Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo has stated that he feels good when accused of flying private jets and maintaining them with church’s money.

Bishop Oyedepo said he is not disturbed by false news carried around about him but only sees such as persecutions.

When asked in an interview with the Education Explorer during the weekend if the allegation that he uses church money to main his jets trouble him, the pastor said, “I feel very good. It’s an opinion. Let me tell you what my understanding of persecution is; it’s simply an opinion harshly expressed. And everybody has a right to his opinion.

“People who are walking in the truth are hardly bothered when things are said negatively about them because they have nothing to hide. The truth is I have never felt it, some say it’s not human, but I have not. I can’t be wasting my time trying to reply lies because I have too many things to do.

“They are doing their work, let me be doing my work too and before they wake up in the morning, I’ve done the next one, so, it doesn’t matter. My idea of it is that, in a football match, you have only 22 people playing with thousands of spectators.

“And that is the way it is in the journey of life. In every field, you find just few players and many spectators, multitudes. If we don’t know where to place opinions, they will displace us.

“When we started Covenant University, so many people said it would not work, now, we hosted two Nobel Laureates this week, whereas no Nigerian university has ever hosted one in the history of university education in Nigeria.

“Now, it is the most pronounced and preferred private university in Nigeria. In fact, they say this is the university of the future; that is what they say in the university community. Those who said it could not work now have their children here because they have changed their mind.

“Some people say how can you tell children how to dress? We have to do that so they won’t behave like mad people on the street. They say how can you tell them they can’t use phone? We tell them so they would be disconnected from cultism.

“Ask me anything, I can tell you why we did it. Where are you going to find the President of a nation with a woven hair? I can tell you that in the next 100 years, you won’t find a male president using earring because they would count you as irresponsible, even in the secular world, they won’t see anything in you.

“As free as America is, have you ever seen any minister there with earrings? The person may be qualified, but he will be termed irresponsible. But if you train these children how to carry themselves, it will open up their future.

“Everywhere you get to in this world, people are looking for responsible people, who don’t only say so, but prove so. So, all the opinions on Covenant University have died now because we didn’t stop pursuing what we believe was right and now it has become a standard.”

Celebrities / ‘proud, Arrogant Motherf**ker’ – Folks Come For Wizkid For Not Attending Any Of by max001: 11:02am On Nov 27, 2017
Some fans have been outraged over the action of Nigerian singer, Wizkid – being absent at his former EME boss, Banky W’s wedding in Cape Town – after he failed to fulfill the promise he made some days back.

The singer, who presumably was sad that he couldn’t make it to the traditional wedding of Banky W about a week ago, promised that he was gonna be there at his white wedding in Cape town.

Banky’s white wedding was yesterday and photos flew around social media from the event and everyone kept searching for one where Wizkid featured but none was found.



This made fans realise that he didn’t after all fulfill his promise and this has caused them to come for him – some are so angry that they even referred to him as “proud and arrogant”.
