First City Monument Bank led by Yemisi Edun is in the bad books of customers who are frustrated over its epileptic services, ENigeria reports. “This is not the first time FCMB users would complain of service downtime but the bank has refused to upgrade and it’s really sad”, said Osas a customer of the bank. FCMB is the brainchild of Otunba Subomi Balogun who is regarded as the doyen of Nigerian banking industry, however it appears that the bank has little or nothing to show for it. 90 year-old Subomi Balogun had groomed his son Ladi Balogun, highly controversial figure to run the affairs of the bank which is his legacy, but his time as the Managing Director of FCMB was one bedeviled with endless controversies. Ladi was in the middle of too many adultery-related scandals that Murphy Ozohue, husband of socialite, Uju Murphy allegedly accused him of ‘having an affair with his wife’. It is not clear if the Uju Murphy scandal actually led to Ladi’s marital crisis, but it is a known fact

1. Kuje Prison Attack: Of Sitting Ducks And Lame-duck Government An earlier call by the Islamic State on its members and affiliates to work towards freeing their members in government prisons should have been enough signal for a sensible country buffeted by ISWAP to fortify its prisons or at least move terrorists being held in a medium-security prison to a secure facility. Not Nigeria and the lethargic government she has been yoked with. Aside from this warning in the public domain, Nigeria’s intelligence agencies maintained by the taxpayers should have more actionable intel on what terrorists in Nigeria were up to. Why their plot to carry out a brazen attack on a supposed fortified facility in the Federal Capital Territory was not averted is a tar that can never be washed off the current administration.   Assuming that the intelligence agencies failed to live up to their raison d’etre, how about the intelligence shared by Tukur Mamu, the media aide to Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, re

Comedian Emmanuella Samuel has reacted to the rumour about her marriage to Ned Nwoko, the husband of actress Regina Daniels. Several blogs had reported that Ned Nwoko visited Emmanuella’s parents to discuss marriage plans and pay her bride price.

The fan identified as Peace Samuel wrote: “Rumours I don’t know how true this is, that Ned Nwoko is already receiving marriage list from your parents. Pleas if it is true baby girl don’t spoil your future.” “Fake news ma. Thanks,” Emmanuella replied. The comedian began comedy at the age of five in 2015. She became well known after the comedy skit ‘This is Not My Real Face Oh’. Emmanuella was born in Port Harcourt ... Continue Reading

1. They Must Have Had Inside Help, The Seat Of Power Is No Longer Safe – Ahmad Lawan Speaks On Kuje Prison Attack Senate President Ahmad Lawan has lamented the implications of Tuesday’s terrorist attack on the Kuje Medium Security Custodial Centre in Abuja. Speaking on Thursday when he led a team from the Senate to visit the facility and evaluate the extent of the attack, Lawan said the attackers couldn’t have executed the operation without some inside help. He also called out the security operatives for failing to pick up signals or intelligence reports about plans to attack the facility, summing it up as the failure of the nation’s security system. Lamenting further, the Senate President said the large numbers of escaped terrorists from the facility has made Abuja which is the seat of government unsafe. 2. 2023 Presidency: Atiku Abandoned June 12 Movement, Only Tinubu Fought – Keyamo Speaks The Minister of State for Labour, Festus Keyamo, has alleged that Atiku Abubakar w
