Nigeria has a great banking sector, I feel we aren’t appreciating the quality of banking we have compared to some other countries even in the west… yeah there may be some lapses but we are far ahead with our practice
Man City may have lost the title race but we won CSR. Tears have been successfully converted into talent development. I hope this chap wins this tournament.

Hon. Desmond Elliott Did Not Step Down From APC Primary Race in Surulere Constituency 1
Our attention has been drawn to misleading reports and deliberate misrepresentations suggesting that Hon. Desmond Elliott stepped down from the contest for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Lagos State House of Assembly Primary Election in Surulere Constituency 1.
We wish to categorically state that Hon. Desmond Elliott did not withdraw or step down from the race.
For the avoidance of doubt, what Hon. Desmond Elliott communicated in the video posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, @DesmondOElliot, was his deep concern over the deliberate exclusion and intimidation of his supporters, many of whom were denied access to the designated voting venues, particularly in Ward F2 and Ward F3.
These unfortunate developments created an atmosphere of tension and raised legitimate fears of a possible breakdown of law and order. In light of these troubling circumstances, Hon. Desmond Elliott, acting responsibly and in the interest of peace, urged his agents and supporters to withdraw from the immediate voting environment to prevent escalation and to avoid any form of violence or chaos.
His decision was one of statesmanship and restraint—not a concession, withdrawal, or surrender of his candidacy.
It is therefore misleading and inaccurate for anyone to interpret or portray his remarks as stepping down from the race. Hon. Desmond Elliott remains committed to democratic principles, the rule of law, and the mandate freely given to him by the overwhelming majority of his supporters across Surulere Constituency 1.
We call on party members, stakeholders, and the general public to disregard false narratives and remain focused on the need for transparency, fairness, and justice in the electoral process.
At this critical moment, it is imperative that the integrity of the primary election process be upheld and that every legitimate supporter and delegate is allowed to participate freely, without intimidation or obstruction.
Signed
Concerned Supporters and Stakeholders

In all of this, remember: Safety of capital is far greater than Return on Investment.
Remember that the NDIC only insures up to ₦5,000,000 for primary mortgage banks/microfinance banks (and ₦5M for commercial banks).
If you safe lock 1 million naira on Ladda for 12 months, you’ll get 186,750 naira instantly? The percentage is higher compared to other apps.
Why is no one talking about it?!!!
Yesterday, May 19th, in Abuja, I attended the Presidential screening organised by our party, which took over two and a half hours. They carefully reviewed all my documents, including my degree certificates, NYSC credentials, and age declarations.
During the process, I also addressed questions regarding my vision for a new Nigeria and the type of leadership our nation urgently needs right now. Following this, I was cleared and received the presidential nomination form I had previously paid for.
I would like to commend the screening committee, led by former governor Sam Egwu, for their thorough and professional approach. Additionally, I appreciate our party's leadership for upholding the democratic process.
A New Nigeria is POssible. - PO
