If you are working in the financial sector, there’s no way you won’t have heard about how a girl working in one of the most popular Nigerian Banks in Ikorodu is currently cooling her heels in prison as we speak.
I have never seen a bold idiotic thief like this girl before. As a head teller, she was stationed at a Nigerian University in Lagos. I won’t mention the bank or the school. This girl has access to all the accounts the university has with her bank. The accounts are so many that I doubt the school has wind of amounts flowing in. They don’t even have people monitoring these accounts. (I blame the school on this part).
This girl, Zainab in the past two years has been removing monies from different accounts belonging to this university with huge sums. The day she would remove 1m, 2m or 3m. It was possible because the bank branch she operates in is a very small unit and authorization is done by her. (The branch in the school is small. I think it is just for deposit).
One sunny day like that, someone from the Bursary department of the school noticed it and immediately went to the small bank in the school to meet with the amazing thief. He wasn’t there to stop it, in fact, he was there to negotiate. He negotiated and gave the girl more accounts to penetrate into with a splitting formula. In 2 years, they have moved about 100m according to the school.
How was she caught?
Some months ago, she was transferred out of the branch to a big branch where her roles are limited to authorization. So, she needs someone to initiate the transaction first before she authorizes and that’s the work of smaller tellers. She didn’t have access to direct debiting again.
Some Fridays ago, at the close of business, she codedly and cunningly used the access of one of the newbies teller to make a 3m transfer to the account she was always transferring to. (She has opened an account for her younger brother using her own details. He didn’t even know he has an account with the bank). She has even gone to her desk to authorize it. Omo ogbon.
The newbie teller sensed something was wrong and immediately went back to log in, only to see the transaction she never did. She called another newbie teller and they faced Zainab to provide her the ticket to the transaction she did on her computer. (A crime on its own. Every bank frowns at giving out your login details to another staff). Being the head, the cunningly maneuvered her way out and told them they will get the ticket on Monday.
The newbie teller couldn’t sleep all weekend. Her heart beat fast until she spoke up and explained what happened to her sister who asked her to inform their boss on Monday. It was when she reported that they searched through her login details and found out she has stolen enough in the past two years while she was in the school small branch.
Police were invited and investigation happened broadly. Everyone involved was packed.
Now, what did she spend money on? She has made over 43m but never bought land or house. She dresses newly everyday. She doesn’t repeat clothes. While others are eating mama put, she’s always ordering meals. She orders Uber for everything and will never be caught in danfos like me. She won’t even manage BRT 😭. She didn’t spend 1 Naira on her family. Her mother sells bread on the pavement beside the road in Ikorodu garage. She was buying wigs upon wigs upon wigs. She spent money sleeping in hotels and balling her boyfriend. Nothing tangible was caught with her. In fact, her mother still sell bread by the roadside with her head buried in shame her daughter brought upon her.
Everyone has a fault in this case but a thief is a thief. What she didn’t know is that Freedom is better than 43m. Kirikiri will open your eyes. If you are a thief, you can stop now.

URGENT APPEAL FOR HELP!!!
The family of HRM Oba Salman Aweda Olatunji, the newly installed Monarch of Olayinka Town, Ifelodun LGA, Kwara State, is pleading for public support to secure his release from kidnappers.
His Majesty, along with two others (not family members), was abducted in the early hours of Sunday, April 19. The captors initially demanded a ransom of ₦400 million, but after several rounds of negotiation, they reduced it to ₦200 million. Negotiations are still ongoing.
So far, we have been unable to raise a significant amount. We are appealing to well-meaning individuals, organizations, and anyone with the capacity to assist. Please help by sharing this message widely and tagging those who may be able to contribute.

On February 5, 2023, ₦2.9 billion disappeared from Flutterwave accounts.
Not in one transaction. In 63 separate transfers across 107 accounts in 27 different banks.
Each transfer... small enough to avoid triggering fraud alerts.
By the time the system flagged it, the money was already moving through crypto merchants on Binance being converted to USDT. Nigerian traders who had no idea they were receiving stolen funds got their accounts frozen. Some are still in legal battles today.
Flutterwave denied it was a breach.
Then it happened again on March 1, 2023. ₦550 million. Same pattern.
Again on March 14. Same pattern.
Then October 2023, POS merchants exploited a vulnerability. ₦19 billion. 6,000 accounts across 35 banks.
Then April 2024. Fourth breach in fourteen months. ₦11 billion possibly and ₦20 billion moved across five financial institutions over four days.
Same technique as the first attack: keep every deposit just below the threshold that triggers a fraud flag.
Africa's most valuable startup. Processing billions in transactions daily got breached four times in fourteen months.
The lesson is not that Flutterwave is incompetent.
The lesson is that fraud detection thresholds are public knowledge to serious attackers.
If your fraud system flags transactions above ₦X....Attackers will send ₦X minus one. Repeatedly. At scale.
Static thresholds are not fraud prevention.
They are a ceiling that tells attackers exactly how high they can go.
Behavioral detection like flagging unusual patterns, velocity, geography, device fingerprints is what actually catches this.
Four breaches. Billions gone. Court documents public.
Build like someone already knows your limits.

A Nigerian lady got a UK Visa and was barely able to scrape enough money together to travel to the UK.
When she got to the UK, she was stranded
No friend, no relative, no money
She had previously worked at the Ministry of Transportation in one of the states in Nigeria
She knew one of the staff members who had relocated to the UK with his family a few years before
Out of desperation, she calls the man and pleads for help to find somewhere to sleep and get a job
The man picked her up at the airport and took her to his studio apartment
The man had been recently separated from his wife, and it was obvious he needed some help tidying up his domestic affairs
He told her he was working hard at repairing the marriage so that he could be reconciled with his wife and children
He felt it was a risk bringing her into his apartment, but he had to weigh between leaving her stranded and having to explain what a strange woman was doing in his house to his estranged wife.
She said she understood and believed it was God who sent him to help her as a big brother
She was in her thirties, and he was in his early forties
Both of them agreed from the outset that there would be no relationship
He placed her on a salary and met all her needs
In return, she helped to take care of his domestic issues, which he was too busy to handle himself due to work
Three months after she got to the house, she slipped into his bed one evening, asking for a cuddle from the cold
This was how the "help" turned "sexual."
He had a conversation with her the next morning
She said it was not a big deal
She knew he was married and fighting for his family
She also has needs, and felt that while they were together, her needs should be met as he was meeting hers
From that day, everything ran smoothly for eight months
She was a picture of love and bliss
He even considered marrying her, but he didn't have the strength of will to abandon his three-year-old twin sons
He also carried her along with the developments he was making regarding reconciliation
All his efforts paid off in the reconciliation process
He told her his wife and children would be returning home in a few weeks
She had to leave
He got an apartment for her in another part of London (Paid six months' rent) and a job with CoS
He also gave her some money to keep body and soul together until she got paid
On the day she was supposed to leave, she flips the script
She says she prefers what she has been doing with him to working and would like him to be committed to both her and his family
He said he could not risk his marriage breaking up again, and he has no intention of marrying two wives
She said he would be wise to accept her terms or she would be forced to report him to the appropriate authorities, from his office to the police for "taking advantage of her, grooming her, sleeping with her while she was drunk and rape"
She said she had spoken to a lawyer, and by accommodating her when she had no money and sleeping with her, he had taken advantage of her.
For telling her he would take care of her while she returns the favour with domestic work and sex, he had groomed her
She said the night she came to his bed in the middle of winter, she had taken some alcohol because of the cold and to build up her confidence, and he still slept with her, which means she had no power to give consent.
She said she asked for a cuddle and they ended up having sex, this is date rape."
The man knew all her accusations were ridiculous, but he also understood the society they were in.
It would be guilty before proven innocent, and the accusation will never wear off
He told her he would not leave her
He would abide by her first option of keeping her and keeping his family.
She smiled and hugged him.
He drove her to her new apartment
His wife and children returned home
He started recording her phone calls to him and even their physical meetings until he got enough evidence to be free of her three months later.
PS: The man said those three months were the worst of his life
Living under constant fear and a threat of exposure, especially because of the fragility of his marriage
He said he had to record a lot of things so that he could practically blackmail her out of his life.
Am I the only one that sees a problem with working 8-9 hours a day and then going home to having about 4 hours to yourself which includes getting ready for the next day??? This is not life…

#PovertyIsReal
Man to Man:
▪︎ Wake up early whether you like it or not. Sleep is a luxury you earn.
▪︎ Cut porn. It's frying your discipline and making you soft.
▪︎ Lift heavy weights 4 to 6 days a week. Track numbers. If they're not going up, you're lying.
▪︎ Eat boring food. Same meals. Protein first. Pleasure later.
▪︎ Stop explaining yourself. Explanations are for people above you.
▪︎ Learn one high-income skill and go all in. No backup plans. Backups make cowards.
▪︎ Kill useless friendships. If they don't push money, discipline or growth, they're dead weight.
▪︎ Get comfortable being alone. Loneliness is training, not a problem.
▪︎ Read contracts, finance, power, psychology. Fiction won't save you.
▪︎ Build an emergency fund. No one rescues grown men.
▪︎ Stop chasing women. Build a life that attracts them accidentally.
▪︎ Control your temper. Emotional men get manipulated.
▪︎ Dress clean and simple. No logos. No noise. Let silence flex.
▪︎ Learn to say no without guilt.
▪︎ Track your time like money. Wasted hours are stolen years.
▪︎ Fix your posture. Weak body language bleeds into weak decisions.
▪︎ Quit alcohol if you can't control it. If it controls you, it owns you.
▪︎ Learn how to fight or learn how to run fast. Ideally both.
▪︎ Pay your debts aggressively. Owing money kills respect.
▪︎ Keep your mouth shut about plans. Execute first.
▪︎ Accept that no one cares about your struggles. Act accordingly.
▪︎ Build something that pays you while you sleep. If not, you're replaceable.
▪︎ Call your parents. One day you won't be able to.
▪︎ Stop waiting for motivation. Operate on schedule.
▪︎ Become physically dangerous but mentally calm.
▪︎ Respect yourself so hard the world has no choice but to adjust.
That's it. No inspiration. Just work.
