@StanbicIBTC My complaint has NOT been resolved as the failed transfer has neither been reversed nor has the beneficiary been credited, unless you have a different understanding of what "resolved" means. 😡
@StanbicIBTC I was debited for a failed transfer from my Ease wallet account & your incompetent customer care rep is telling me the account number I provided do not belong to Stanbic. Who then do they belong to?! Ref number is 20260524024724688672. Look into it & resolve ASAP pls
This young man keeps pleasantly surprising me since he became the HoR member for Kaduna North. Never thought it'll be possible but here we are. Allah Ya taimaka. Amin.
I rarely comment on what is not my business. But as the Representative of Kaduna North, the affairs of the state regardless of my political affiliation is my business. I would like to publicly commend and acknowledge an affable and decent young politician that has helped many vulnerable people in Kaduna North, Hon. Abdulazeez Kaka, @Abunaah. Regardless of anyone’s personal feelings towards him, he has carried out numerous initiatives that have benefitted some of the most vulnerable members of our Kaduna North. His skill acquisition programs targeting young women stands out the most for me. And I am sincerely proud of him. These acts have eased the burden on me as the elected Representative of Kaduna North and I have always told him this. God knows best, but remember that you embody the courage and boldness that is rising among many young people in Nigeria. We are proud of you. No one that supports us should ever publicly or privately mock his efforts. As God is my witness, I do not accept it. I end with this quote.
‘’It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.’’
We stand in solidarity with you and anyone that experiences any sense of in justice regardless of affiliation and devoid of political expediency. On behalf of the excellent people of Kaduna North that I proudly represent, we are proud of you and by the grace of God, the sky is the limit.
Signed
Hon. Mohammed Bello El-Rufai

I have lived long enough to know how these people operate.
When ordinary Nigerians need a loan, they'll ask you for documents, guarantors, collateral, six months bank statements and even your firstborn. When a businessman wants to move serious money, he sits with lawyers, auditors, shareholders and a board. They argue for weeks because everybody knows one bad decision can destroy everything.
But in Nigeria, a government can ask for billions of dollars and before the day is over, the same people who are supposed to question it have already clapped and approved it.
This is not governance. This is a cartel.
Nobody reviews billions of dollars, the repayment terms, the hidden conditions, the exchange rate risk, the long-term consequences and the real beneficiaries in four hours. The decision was already made before they entered that chamber. The meeting was just theatre. The papers, the speeches, the committee report, all of it was there to give the public the illusion that something serious happened.
The game is simple. Borrow today. Announce “infrastructure” tomorrow. Award contracts to the same circle of politically connected companies next week. Half the money disappears into consultancy fees, inflated contracts and offshore accounts. The rest is used to keep the machine running until the next election.
Then when the debt becomes too much, they come back to the same citizens they've ruined to tell them to pay more taxes, endure more hardship and be patient.
I do not think they are incompetent. That is the mistake people make. Incompetent people make random errors. These people are very organised. They know exactly what they are doing.
A country does not become a wreck overnight. It happens when every institution stops acting like a watchdog and starts acting like a rubber stamp. The legislature approves anything. The courts defend anything. The agencies explain away anything. Everybody is playing their part.
Sometimes I think the real plan is not even to build Nigeria. The real plan is to keep Nigeria permanently unstable, permanently indebted and permanently desperate. A desperate population is easier to control. People who are fighting to survive do not have time to ask questions.
That is why every year there is a new loan, a new tax, a new excuse and a new promise. Yet somehow the roads remain bad, the power remains unstable, the hospitals remain empty and the schools keep collapsing.
They are not running a country. They are managing an extraction business, and Nigeria is the raw material.
