Not a cheque for N7million, that's N7m in CASH.
Just another day in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, where monkeys, snakes and gorillas eat millions of Naira with ease: https://t.co/vDm6TZqy5q

This is quite a story. N7m ($19k) of gate receipts from a zoo in #Kano, #Nigeria go missing. Someone says it's because a gorilla swallowed the money. Now the state government swings into action to investigate. https://t.co/oxbY0RmyuU @MobilePunch

They don’t even rate citizens, so they’d go as low as packaging the most stupid lie.
Like, can you at least respect me and lie intelligently?

Femi Otedola: From Oil To Power

Channels TV
Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola, this week, revealed that he has sold his interests in Forte Oil. He took to Instagram to state that he was selling his shares in Forte Oil to focus on the power sector. Here is how Nigerians reacted to the billionaire’s announcement.

The son of a former Governor of Lagos State, Femi Otedola announced the sale of his most valuable asset, Forte Oil. pic.twitter.com/2RpWf4PYnc
Electricity would improve in Nigeria if many of our billionaires would just invest in power firms, instead of oil and imports. Femi Otedola invested $350m into power in 2018, but felt that was not enough, and he has now invested all his billion dollars into improving electricity.

I laugh when some people say diesel sellers are the ones that do not want Nigeria to have stable power supply. See. Real entrepreneurs will find a way to do real business irrespective of power supply or not. Femi Otedola sells off Forte Oil shares to face power business.

Femi Otedola sold his shares at Forte Oil? Just hearing in the news for the first time that a new CEO has been appointed. #OutofLoop

Popular social media personality and lawyer, Reno Omokri, has been under fire for alleged shirts and a book which were meant to promote the #FreeLeahSharibu movement and keeping the proceeds for himself. While some Nigerians have come to his defence, some others have castigated him.
Leah Sharibu’s parents and the Christian Association of Nigeria, Kaduna, are releasing a joint statement on the false allegations against me and #FreeLeahSharibu. I actually thought of abandoning the campaign today if not for their words of encouragement. Buy tomorrow’s papers
— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) June 21, 2019
I made exactly ₦1 million from my book Leah Sharibu: The Girl Boko Haram Left Behind. The money spent only 5 minutes in my account. At the 5th minute, it was transferred to Leah's mother's. The transaction was verified by Kaduna state CAN Chairman, Rev J Hayab #FreeLeahSharibu pic.twitter.com/oyGCo1ZDFq

Why must Nigerians fight good people?@renoomokri has selflessly championed the cause of leah sharibu.i gave N1m to LEAH and he sent me the parents acct.the mum thanked me on phone..now you accuse such a man of fraud?.must we discourage good men?

I still don't get the reason why people are calling for the head of @renoomokri with #renoundarted the man is reminding the world about the abducted girl Leah, helping her parent with funds to keep up, the proceeds from the shirt he sells go directly to the parent….. pic.twitter.com/GTpVMXIwCF
