Today, the EFCC has just recovered a whopping ₦1.27 billion from the businessman, Olasijibomi Ogundele, and handed it over to the Enugu State Government after first declaring him wanted and obtaining a court order to detain him.

Have you noticed that nobody has raised any ethnic sentiments? Not a single person.

But the minute the EFCC goes after a high-profile politician, businessman, or celebrity, who is not from the President's ethnic nationality, everybody will rise and shout that such a person is being persecuted because of his ethnicity.

Why isn't Olasijibomi Ogundele being persecuted for his ethnicity?

Listen, for Nigeria to progress as a nation, we must downplay ethnicity and promote objectivity.

If anyone is being prosecuted by the EFCC, the only argument in their defence from the dramatis personae and their supporters must be that they are innocent, not that they are being punished because they are from such and such a place or belong to this or that opposition party.

@sportsdokitor Yes, we agree that he is human and even top players get to miss penalties.

But you see that chewing gum blowing, that's the painful thing here because he won't dare do that in a top football club match.

In a professional setting, attitude and posture is almost everything.

[Hon. Uche Ugboaja, SLA @samuche83]

@sportsdokitor Samu & Bruno missed, but have you asked why no one is spotlighting Bruno?
This is bcos we all saw the effort & commitment towards the kick from him after his 120mins.
Samu's head wasn't in the right place. He was thinking of how his kick will be used as content for Iwobi's vlog.

ONE OF OUR OWN
(This Is Not The Way To Go)

He’s still one of our own. You all saw how Moroccans embraced their player after he missed his penalty, encouraging him, telling him to keep his head up. We should do the same for Samuel Chukwueze.

You may say he was nonchalant in his approach. If Bono had dived the wrong way, that same penalty would have been called a masterclass and praised endlessly today.

Samuel Chukwueze has been the source of good energy and vibes amongst the squad and many of you here praised him for that and shared his countless jokes online, saying he was needed in the team, don’t forget that in a hurry.

These players are human beings.
Mistakes happen.
Abuse doesn’t help.
Go down on the abuse, lift your own, and stand by him.

Remain Blessed 🙏🙏🙏

Banks to charge 7.5 VAT on mobile transfer, PoS transaction fees

Banks will start deducting 7.5 percent value-added tax (VAT) on banking services, including point of sale (POS) transaction fees, mobile banking transfer fees, from January 19.

In an email to customers, Moniepoint Microfinance Bank said the charge stems from a government-endorsed regulatory change.

TheCable understands that the VAT is charged on the N50 stamp duty and does not affect the actual amount being transferred or withdrawn.
