Wale busari02 mins

Paystack has suspended its co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Ezra Olubi, following allegations of sexual misconduct involving a subordinate. In a statement to TechCabal, the Stripe-owned fintech confirmed that it has launched a formal investigation into the accusations. “Paystack is aware of the allegations involving our Co-founder, Ezra Olubi,” the company said. “We take matters of this nature extremely seriously. Effective immediately, Ezra has been suspended from all duties and responsibilities pending the outcome of a formal investigation.” The company added that it would not provide further updates until the inquiry is complete, citing the importance of maintaining the integrity of the process and respecting all parties involved. The suspension comes after several of Olubi’s tweets from 2009 to 2013 resurfaced online, drawing criticism for sexually explicit content about colleagues and disturbing references to minors. Some posts included remarks about photographing a colleague’s thighs, while a 2011 tweet that went viral read: “Monday will be more fun with an ‘a’ in it. Touch a coworker today. Inappropriately.” Following the resurfacing of the tweets, Olubi has deactivated his X account. The incident has sparked widespread discussion about workplace conduct and accountability in Nigeria’s tech industry.

FG Warns That Ponmo Consumption Threatens Nigeria’s $5 Billion Leather Industry

Wale busari03 mins

The Federal Government has raised alarms over the growing consumption of hides and skins, commonly known as ponmo, warning that it threatens Nigeria’s $5 billion leather industry. At the National Campaign Against the Consumption of Ponmo held on Thursday in Abuja, Prof. Nnanyelugo Ikemounso, Director-General of the Raw Materials Research and Development Council, highlighted how diverting hides for food deprives local industries of crucial raw materials needed for leather production and export. “The Nigerian leather goods market was valued at $2.79 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $4.96 billion by 2033,” Ikemounso said. “The continuous diversion of hides for ponmo consumption weakens our tanning and leather manufacturing sector and diminishes Nigeria’s competitiveness in the global market.” He described cowhides as one of Nigeria’s most valuable raw materials, with enormous potential for job creation, foreign exchange earnings, and contributions to GDP. Globally, the leather value chain is estimated to be worth between $420 billion and $1 trillion, and with the right policies, infrastructure, and raw material supply, Nigeria could significantly expand its share. Ikemounso clarified that the campaign is not aimed at opposing cultural practices or personal dietary choices but is intended to channel hides and skins toward productive industrial use for the nation’s benefit. “This campaign is a strategic intervention to prioritise the industrial use of hides and skins, particularly for leather production, which holds immense potential for economic growth, job creation, and export diversification,” he said. The DG also warned of serious health risks associated with ponmo, noting that it offers little nutritional value, being mostly collagen with negligible protein or micronutrients. He further cautioned that many hides used for consumption are treated with harmful chemicals such as formalin and diesel, which can cause organ damage and increase cancer risk. “From a nutritional perspective, ponmo offers very little value. More worrisome, many hides processed for consumption are subjected to harmful substances such as formalin and diesel, posing serious health risks, including organ damage and higher cancer risk,” he added. The government’s campaign aims to protect both public health and the long-term growth of Nigeria’s leather industry.

Three Nigerians Arrested In Kenya Over Alleged Cyber Fraud

Wale busari02 mins

Three Nigerian nationals have been arrested in Mwaliko Estate, Mwea Town, Kenya, on suspicion of running a cyber fraud operation. According to Tuko News, the suspects—identified as Peter Chukwujekwu, Alazor Chukulute Sunday, and Nnalue Chiagozie Samwe—were apprehended on Wednesday by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). Residents reportedly alerted authorities after noticing unusual late-night activities at the suspects’ apartment. The DCI confirmed that the arrests were part of “a multi-agency raid targeting a cyber fraud ring” in the area. In an official statement, the DCI said, “Three Nigerian nationals nabbed in Kirinyaga multi-agency raid. A well-coordinated multi-agency raid in Mwaliko Estate within Mwea town has blown the lid off a suspected cyber fraud ring operated by three Nigerian nationals.” The suspects, who claimed to operate an online business, were living in Kenya illegally without valid work permits. This incident is part of a broader trend of Nigerians being arrested abroad for offenses including cybercrime, human trafficking, and drug-related crimes. In June 2023, 19 Nigerians were detained in Nairobi for electronic fraud targeting Kenyan citizens. The DCI noted that the suspects, aged between 19 and 33, used social media to lure victims by posing as sellers offering deliveries from abroad. “The fraudsters start by befriending you on social media (Facebook), and once you accept the friend request, they initiate a friendly chat that promises the victim goodies to be sent through DHL at the airport,” the agency explained.

Imisi’s Mother Cries Out, Accuses BBNaija Winner Of Neglect And Emotional Maltreatment After Fame

Wale busari04 mins

Imisi’s mother has spoken out in a heartfelt new video, accusing the BBNaija winner of neglecting and mistreating her since she became famous. In the clip, she introduced herself as Imisi’s biological mother and pleaded for understanding from the public amid growing criticism about her past. “I am the biological mother of Imisi,” she said. “I know I might be bad but it is God that judges. I am not educated, neither am I rich, but I thank God for supporting Imisi. I went to visit my younger sister in Ajah — she was the one who gave me food and these clothes I am wearing. To everyone blasting me that I didn’t take care of Imisi, I say thank you, but it’s good to always know the true story before judging.” According to her, despite her support for her daughter during the BBNaija show, things changed after Imisi’s victory. “As a mother, I was running around for Imisi to win so she could take me out of poverty, yet people say I’m not a good mum,” she continued. “Everyone is cursing me. I had to move out of where I was living. My own daughter said she hates me and can’t stand me. Is it that bad? I have a lot to tell the world. I wasn’t informed about the day she would get her gifts from Big Brother until around 4pm when I was called to dress up, as if she was the one buying clothes for me before. If you were in my shoes, how would you feel?” Her emotional remarks have stirred mixed reactions online, especially as rumors circulate that Imisi’s mother once threw her out when she was only 12 years old. The alleged incident reportedly led to a difficult childhood for Imisi, who later opened up about being assaulted and struggling to survive on her own before fame. The mother-daughter tension has since become a trending topic, with many calling for compassion and understanding on both sides. While Imisi’s mother insists she only seeks love and reconciliation, fans believe her actions might be consequences of past mistakes that are now resurfacing in the public eye. Their story has now become one of the most emotional fallouts following a BBNaija victory, showing how fame can sometimes deepen old wounds instead of healing them.

Regina Daniels Alleges Ned Nwoko’s Camp Is Pressuring Her to Return Home

Wale busari04 mins

Regina Daniels has accused her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, and his aides of persistently pressuring her to return home amid their ongoing marital dispute. She shared a message from Nwoko’s senior advisor, known as “Daddy Eboh,” urging her to stop posting videos and to reconcile with her husband. The message read: “My dear dauta, how are u doing? I may appear to be disturbing you but it’s for your good. Please stop all these videos and tell those encouraging you to leave you alone. The support you were getting is no more because your fans have learned more than what you’ve shown them. Please rethink, stop the videos, and call your husband for an amicable resolution.” Regina responded firmly, dismissing the claim that she had lost support and criticizing the approach taken by Nwoko’s camp. She wrote: “Sir, how could you tell your daughter that I’m not getting any support anymore? That’s funny. If you truly succeeded in advising your distinguished senator, he wouldn’t tell his wife and workers to come for me publicly and expect to reconcile our marriage. Tell him to come for me anywhere—in court or anywhere in the world—I will fight him! He wants to take me down after five years; if I fail, I’ll rise again. But as much as he tries to ruin me, I will also fight back. Thanks, sir.” In a caption accompanying the screenshot, she said: “Guys, there must be something wrong! I have concluded. This is Daddy Eboh, Senator Ned’s general advisor, sending constant daily messages for me to call him and return. The crazy part is Ned himself hasn’t stopped sending messages. How else do I ask this family to leave me alone? Y’all, stop messaging me privately and publicly trying to shame me.” Regina’s revelation underscores her frustration with what she describes as relentless attempts by her husband’s camp to interfere in her personal life. She insists she will resist all efforts to pressure or intimidate her, signaling that the conflict is far from over. This episode is part of a broader, highly publicized marital dispute that continues to unfold on social media, drawing attention to the challenges of privacy and influence in high-profile relationships.

“My Officials Were Attacked” – Wike Explains Confrontation With Naval Officer Over Disputed Land

Wale busari03 mins

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has addressed his recent confrontation with Lieutenant A.M. Yerima, a serving naval officer, over a disputed plot of land allegedly owned by retired Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo. Speaking to journalists before the FCT Executive Council meeting on Thursday, Wike condemned the retired officer for allegedly deploying military personnel to guard the property. Responding to criticism over his site visit, the minister said he could not remain passive while government officials were being attacked. “How can I sit as a minister when government officials are being attacked and beaten up, officials at the level of directors? And I’ll just sit in my office doing what?” he asked. The incident reportedly took place on Tuesday at No. 1946, Gaduwa District, Abuja. Wike accused the retired naval officer of carrying out illegal construction on the land and said he confronted Lieutenant Yerima after staff of the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) were allegedly assaulted while trying to stop the development. Wike also criticized the use of military personnel to obstruct lawful enforcement activities. “Many influential Nigerians have had similar land issues. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo simply calls me, and I help resolve it. General T.Y. Danjuma does the same. They never send soldiers to attack anyone; they just call,” he said. He further condemned the naval officer for reportedly insulting police officers on the scene, calling them “bloody police.” Wike said, “A security officer should never speak like that. The same officials you are assaulting are the ones who made you what you are.” The minister, however, emphasized his respect for the Nigerian military, insisting that his issue was with a private individual, not the armed forces. “I respect the military and will continue to do so. Anyone suggesting I have a problem with them is wrong. This is a private matter, not a conflict with the government or the military,” he stated.
