    Happy Birthday Mr. President! I wish you the blessings of the Almighty, and continued wisdom and grace as you celebrate another year. #PMBAt75 pic.twitter.com/f0k3MLXF0O

    2. OLIC 4

    Olamide Adedeji popularly known as Olamide Badoo’s annual concert called OLIC (Olamide Live In Concert) also rocked the social media space this week. While some judged it as flop, some disagreed. See reactions and videos below:

    Loved this Part!!!!

    Olamide went back to that career changing album.

    I thought I've seen it all untill Olamide invited Yomi Sars to #OLIC4. Booda Olamide, what was your mission gan gan? https://t.co/MoWGVm1wu5

    — Biobaku Soliu (@kesmalindoHQ) December 19, 2017

    #OLIC4 was guarded by the Nigerian Police, Army, NSCDC, LASTMA, FRSC, Vigilante, bodyguards, OPMESA (joint internal security operational platform made up of Army, Navy, Air Force). There was an helicopters too. This is absolutely necessary. Security should come first at concerts.

    — Isima (@IsimaOdeh) December 18, 2017

    If Phyno can shut down a 22,000 capacity stadium at Enugu, 25,000 capacity Teslim Balogun Stadium is even too small for Olamide. #OLIC4

    — Wale Adetona (@iSlimfit) December 17, 2017

    And someone just said #OLIC4 is like N.U.R.T.W end of year party….

    — Sam Akins (Sam D) (@xamuhel18) December 17, 2017

    This one Olamide is holding #OLIC4 at Teslim Balogun, I'm actually worried for the ladies. Men are vile!!!
    Phynofest was a proper immoral shambles.

    3. Innoson vs GTB

    Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)  arrested Innocent Chukwuma, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Innoson Group, the Cable reports. Innoson accused GTB of being behind the arrest, an allegation the company denied.

    See reactions below:

    If Akwa Ibom State was a private investment, our story would have been like Innoson vs GTB. ZENITH BANK IS RUNNING OUR STATE NOW!

    — Michael Ukanga Ekpo (@Mikeekpo) December 22, 2017

    I closed my GTB account this morning. They asked me why and I told them I am doing it because of what they are doing to Innoson motors. I move the money to my Union bank account

    — Uchenna Stephen O (@Uchez2) December 20, 2017

    My bank steals my money, I take them to the High Court & win

    The bank goes to Court of Appeal, again I win & they were ordered to refund my stolen money with interest

    Instead of obeying the court order, the bank bribes EFCC to arrest & detain me

    summary of INNOSON and GT Bank

    — Oke Umurhohwo (@stalyf) December 21, 2017

    I have known the MD of GTB,Segun Agbaje and his two older brothers,Femi and Jimi, for close to 40 years.I urge him not to expose himself to the shark infested waters of politics by allowing himself to be used by these barbarians to destroy Innoson.If he does he will regret it.

    Buhari is the most incompetent President we have ever elected in the history of Nigeria. You can’t hide incompetence; just drive around the country and you’ll see the level of hopelessness this govt has brought upon the already impoverished citizens #fuelscarcity pic.twitter.com/CD5hXT39uD

    — Ali George (@aligthebaptist) December 18, 2017

    In 1990, China had 57,800 km of railways.
    In 2017, they have >120,000 km.

    In 1990, Nigeria had fuel scarcity and long queues.
    In 2017, Nigeria still has fuel scarcity and long queues.

    FUEL SCARCITY AND THE DEREGULATION’ OF BLAMES
    GEJ wasn’t even a Petroleum minister,but was blamed for fuel scarcity;rightly so. He was the President and the buck had to stop on his desk. 29/05/2015 he bore the blame as he handed over to GMB that promised to do things differently

    Today, @Google unveils a Doodle to posthumously ma Today, @Google unveils a Doodle to posthumously mark the 74th birthday of Nigerian music legend and highlife maestro Oliver de Coque, one of Africa’s most prolific recording artists of all time.

The Doodle, created by Lagos-based graphic artist and illustrator @OhabTBJ, pays tribute to the guitarist who died in June 2008 at the age of 61, following a heart attack. The creative inspiration was drawn from De Coque’s love for the guitar, his energetic performance style, his unique music brand, and his love of tradition and culture.

    The use of Point of Sale (PoS) machines in Nigeria The use of Point of Sale (PoS) machines in Nigeria is growing but a majority of this growth is concentrated in the country’s economic capital, Lagos. According to NIBSS Instant Payment stats, the state recorded the largest number of PoS transactions in the country.

The report shows that Lagos accounted for about 70% of the total volume of PoS transactions in 2020. This represents a 100% growth in the volume of PoS transactions in the state as the volume of PoS transactions rose from 226 million in 2019 to over 453 million at the end of 2020.

While still offering its free inward remittance service, the fintech has also delved into outflow and recently launched a feature that allows its users in Nigeria and Canada to send money to the US and Europe free of charge.

“We are super excited to announce that Nigerian and Canadian users can now send money to the United Kingdom and Europe via the @Lemonade.Finance app for free,” the company said.

    Ramadan Mubarak! Yes, it’s that time of the year Ramadan Mubarak! Yes, it’s that time of the year when Muslims around the world observe the sacred month of Ramadan by fasting, praying and carrying out good deeds.

However, depriving oneself of nourishment and abstaining from certain pleasures before the sun sets can be very tough during the fasting month. With this in mind, app makers have created different kinds of platforms to make the month easier and more spiritual.

In our new post, we curated some handy apps and platforms that can help to keep prayer times and directions, habits, Qur’an exploring and diet management during the fasting month.
