A technician made a mistake while sending his Opay account to me yesterday.

I credited the account without cross checking the name associated with it, partly because the amount wasn’t much.

The technician later informed me that he made a mistake in one of the digits.

We contacted the actual recipient who was very apologetic and understanding.

This young lady, a student of Olabisi Onabanjo University, swiftly refunded the N90k to the technician.

I had to send her N10k for ‘breakfast’ to appreciate her kindness and honesty.

I have seen cases where people retain money sent erroneously to them. That itself is a criminal offence - stealing by conversion.

The previous two occasions when I sent money to the wrong Opay accounts, I didn’t bother contacting the recipients since the amount involved were not significant.

When you consider the process of seeking and obtaining a credit reversal order from the court, you might as well let go if the amount isn’t worth the hassle.

Honesty is a great virtue.

I've not read any negative "review" of the new Omah Lay album that comes with an intelligent argument.

It's pretty much opinions tinged with bias and/or preconceived notions.

A lot of it is steeped in bad faith, too.

You can tell they didn't listen to the album properly.

history shows that many among them were involved in some of the largest acts of corruption. It raises difficult questions about the values they upheld and the legacy they’ve left behind across Africa.

I'm not religious by any means but if I were God, it would be evident that based on the geographical arrangement of the world, I have my favourites.

Africa is that favourite. There is literally no material or human resource under the sun that cannot be found here in absurd quantities. We have EVERYTHING that humanity has ever fought wars over, in such quantities that I can understand why Leopold described Africa as a 'geological scandal.'

We are so absurdly stacked that even despite having the largest empire in history standing on our necks and extra ting ruthlessly for 500 years, we have still managed to be the world's 2nd most populous continent and by far the world's fastest growing population. No matter how breathlessly they extract, there are so many resources that 1.5 billion people still manage to exist without really doing so on purpose or having a plan for the future.

We are still the sovereign owners of this land, but at the rate we are fucking around, not for much longer. Nature has a habit of taking away gifts that are not utilised. If despite having all that we have, plus cheap instant communication and Ethiopian Airlines that reliably puts 90% of us within 6 hours of each other, we STILL manage to come out of the 21st century losing, then we will have fully earned the loss of our homeland and our disappearance from the earth, the same way the Mayans and Aztecs disappeared.

When Ibrahim Traoré says "Homeland or Death," it's not a patriotic slogan.

It's a statement of ugly fact.

NBA URGES NATIONAL ASSEMBLY TO REVERSE SENATE POSITION, PASS AMENDMENT ON ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION OF ELECTION RESULTS

The National Executive Council (NEC) of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has adopted a report by the President of the Association, Max Afam Osigwe, SAN @afamosigwe strongly urging the National Assembly to vote in favour of the proposed amendment to Clause 60, Subsection 3, of the Electoral Amendment Bill, which seeks to compel the electronic transmission of election results.

At its meeting held in Maiduguri, Borno State, on the 5th of February, 2026, NEC deliberated on the President’s report which drew attention to the recent decision of the Senate to reject a proposed amendment to Clause 60(3) of the Electoral Amendment Bill. The rejected proposal would have mandated presiding officers of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to electronically transmit polling unit results in real time to the INEC Result Viewing (IREV) portal, immediately after Form EC8A had been duly signed, stamped, and countersigned by party agents.

Instead, the Senate resolved to retain the existing provision of the Electoral Act, which merely states that “the presiding officer shall transfer the results, including the total number of accredited voters and the results of the ballot, in a manner as prescribed by the Commission.” NEC noted with concern that this discretionary wording weakens the legal foundation for transparent, real-time result transmission and leaves room for manipulation, ambiguity, and post-election disputes.

In adopting the President’s report, NEC resolved that the National Assembly must urgently revisit and pass the proposed amendment to Clause 60(3) to expressly mandate electronic transmission of results from polling units. NEC emphasised that clear statutory compulsion, rather than discretionary phrasing, is essential to guaranteeing electoral transparency, protecting the integrity of votes cast, and restoring public confidence in Nigeria’s electoral process.

NEC further observed that credible elections are the bedrock of constitutional democracy and that continued resistance to enforceable electronic transmission provisions undermines democratic accountability. The Council stressed that technology-backed transparency is no longer optional in a modern democracy and that Nigeria must align its electoral framework with global best practices.

Accordingly, NEC called on members of the National Assembly to demonstrate legislative responsibility and statesmanship by voting in favour of the proposed amendment compelling electronic transmission of election results. The Council reaffirmed the NBA’s commitment to sustained engagement and advocacy to ensure that Nigeria’s electoral laws clearly reflect the will of the people as expressed at the ballot.

The song’s emotional honesty makes it timeless across generations.
It remains a masterclass in songwriting, vulnerability, and artistic truth.

Bibanke by Asa stands as one of the greatest penned songs of all time.
Its storytelling is raw, intimate, and universally resonant.
Every lyric carries a depth that lingers long after the music fades.
Asa’s delivery transforms heartbreak into a form of soulful poetry.

Mo Salah will never walk alone. He’s too adored by Liverpool fans for what he’s achieved over nine years and 420 games, the 250 goals, 113 assists and the eight trophies, including two Premier Leagues and the Champions League. So many unforgettable memories, so many entries in the history books. Salah will never walk alone because he’s too admired by Liverpool fans for the way he’s represented the club so well on the field and off.

The immediate reaction to Salah’s seemingly inevitable journey towards the Anfield exit - not of his volition - is sadness. Sadness, not so much the reality of it happening. Salah was always going to move or be moved on, probably for Saudi, at some point and his form has been dipping for a while. He's 33. It’s more the manner of Salah’s seeming departure that stirs sadness.

It’s sad to see the situation scarred with such rancour and with such tension with his head coach and, seemingly, the Liverpool hierarchy. Such a special player and man, one of the greatest players in Liverpool’s long, trophy-laden history, deserves a special farewell. Anfield, standing as one, saluting a legend as he leaves. It probably will be in January now.

It’s difficult to see Salah staying after those heartfelt but damaging words at Elland Road last night. Liverpool’s powerbrokers have to back Arne Slot otherwise chaos reigns. Liverpool’s powerbrokers have to back the principle of performance-related selection otherwise positions become sinecures. The mistake Salah made in his comments was about having earned the right to continue starting. Sport doesn’t work that way.

Salah’s many supporters can - with some legitimacy - point to the poor displays of Gakpo and Konate and question why they still start. The problem with Salah is his modest contribution out of possession. That’s fine when the team are winning, and he’s scoring freely, but it’s an issue when they’re struggling as currently. Few Liverpool fans or pundits were surprised when Salah was left on the bench.

Salah doesn’t deserve any special treatment in terms of his place but he does deserve special treatment in how Liverpool work with him now. He's a club great. He's also a huge global figure. If Salah is to leave – and he hasn’t asked to – let’s hope it is done with the respect he deserves for what he’s done for a club that prides itself on people never walking alone. #LFC
