Good Lord!!!!
So President Tinubu gave 90 CNG Buses to both NLC and TUC each making it 180 buses with money to power the vehicles for 3 months each for the good of ordinary Nigerians yet they never mentioned it until the fight broke out among them? And these guys kept quiet while some people were roasting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR @officialABAT!!! 🤔

RACISTS GOT 25 MILLION VIEWS CALLING BLACK KIDS TAKING CANDY "RUINING HALLOWEEN." HERE ARE WHITE KIDS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING.
"Look who showed up to ruin Halloween for kids."
One kid dumps the whole bucket into a bag while his friends laugh: "He just cleared out the whole bucket."
Same act. Why does only one version go viral? Be honest.

Two interesting things I discovered this week are:
1. That you can get genuine court affidavits online from the Nigerian Federal High Court. A genuine one, not the ones those roadside people give you.
The website has all sorts of affidavits, even ones I didn't know existed.
2. The National Population Commission has a working portal. You can register your newborn online and get a certified birth certificate that is accepted worldwide.
You can do all these things without any bureaucracy.

President Buhari did not buy it. He fired him faster than Usain Bolt runs the 100m.
This was meant to be Jonathan's big ally. Within a month of Buhari's arrival, he had switched sides. No hesitation. No loyalty. No principle.
He is the average Nigerian politician. Anyone who believes he is cut from a different cloth is either deluded or easily fooled.

They would have even let go with some of it, if not for dirty attitude that reeks in ignorance.

Most of you know this story, but none of you have heard it from me.
Back in September 2018, Femi Hamzat wanted to be Governor of Lagos State. He had thirteen years of public service under Asiwaju and BRF, with the record and backing to win. Then party leaders asked him to step aside for me.
It takes a rare man to put down what he wants without nursing a grudge. Femi shook my hand and five weeks later, agreed to run beside me. I have never forgotten that.
Anyone can read a CV but only the person in the room with a man when the cameras leave can tell you who he really is. For 2,711 days, I have been in that room with him.
When COVID-19 hit, when we faced our hardest weeks, when the Blue and Red Lines ran and when the Lekki Deep Sea Port opened, Femi was there. Long before any ribbon was cut, he was asking the tough questions an engineer asks.
In many states, deputies are kept in reserve. On day one, Femi promised to be the best deputy governor in Lagos history. He kept his word. In seven years, there has not been a single day I wondered whose side he was on. We have had one government, one direction, and one voice.
Lagos runs on a relay system. The baton is never passed to a runner standing still. You run at full speed inside the exchange zone, together, before the pass. That is how Lagos has been governed for 27 years, from Asiwaju to BRF, to Ambode, to me.
Femi is a deputy governor like no other. He built the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge under Fashola, digitized government under Asiwaju and holds a doctorate in engineering. His father served Lateef Jakande. This is in his blood.
Critics say Lagos keeps choosing from the same pool. I say Lagos trains its people. With major projects underway and a master plan stretching to 2052, this is not the time to experiment. What Femi presents today is not a campaign promise cooked up on a bus, it is the next leg of a race we have been running since 1999.
Lagos does not hand the baton to a man standing still. Today, you have seen the man who is already running. Let us move forward together with The Lagos PROMISE.

YOUR BANK REFUSED TO REVERSE FAILED TRANSFER AFTER 48 HOURS? THEY HAVE BROKEN THE LAW. DO THIS.
Listen, this is happening to thousands of Nigerians every day.
You send N50k via your bank app.
The money leaves your account.
The receiver says "I did not see it."
Your bank says "wait 24 hours, it will reverse."
48 hours... 72 hours... 1 week... Nothing.
They start telling you stories.
Oga, here is what CBN Law says:
Under CBN Regulation on Instant Payments and CBN Consumer Protection Framework:
1. If instant transfer fails - Your bank MUST reverse you within 24 HOURS. Not 3 days, not 7 days.
2. If ATM dispense error / POS debits you without value - Your bank MUST reverse within 48 HOURS (2 working days).
3. If they fail to do so, they have breached CBN directive and you have a right to escalate and claim compensation.
WHAT TO DO WHEN BANK REFUSES:
STEP 1: Get Your Evidence
Screenshot the debit alert, get transaction reference, date, amount, receiver's account.
STEP 2: Write Formal Complaint to Your Bank
Don't just chat customer care. Send email to their complaints email and demand reversal within 24 hours citing CBN Instant Payment Regulation. Collect complaint ticket ID.
STEP 3: Escalate to CBN if They Refuse After 48 Hours
This is the power many don't know.
Send email to: [email protected] and copy [email protected]
Subject: Non-Reversal of Failed Transaction Beyond CBN Stipulated Time
Write:
"On, I made a transfer of N with reference from my account [account number] which failed but my account was debited. I lodged complaint [ticket ID] on. Till now after 48 hours, my bank has refused to reverse. This violates CBN regulation. I seek immediate reversal."[date][amount][ref][bank]
Attach your evidence.
STEP 4: Also Report to FCCPC
Email: [email protected] - they will put pressure.
Banks fear CBN and FCCPC complaints more than anything. Once CBN contacts them, your money will return in 48 hours.
DON'T SUFFER IN SILENCE.
Your money is your right. The bank is using your money to do business while telling you to wait.
Share this post. Someone on your timeline is currently crying because their bank has refused to reverse N20k since last week.

“Whenever we refuse to pay our taxes in an organised manner, we pay for it in economic chaos. It shows up by way of inflation when the government prints money to spend. It shows up by way of high interest rates.”
