Senate asks CBN stop ATM card charges by banks

2018-10-18T16:06:00.001+01:00

The Nigerian Senate on Wednesday passed a resolution calling on the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to suspend the excessive ATM card maintenance charges being deducted from customers.

The resolution came as part of a motion sponsored by Senator Olugbenga Ashafa (Lagos East, APC) on the illicit and excessive bank charges on customers accounts,

The Senate also called on commercial banks operating in the country to configure their machines to dispense up to N40,000 per withdrawal pending the outcome of the investigation by the Senate committees tasked with investigating the excessive charges.

President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki said: “This is a motion that affects the lives of every Nigerian — irrespective of what part of the country you come from or whatever political affiliation you might have. This is why we are here: to always defend and protect the interests of the Nigerian people.”

The Senate President stated that the Senate must work to ensure that its resolution on the excessive bank charges goes beyond the debate stage, so that whatever action the Upper Legislative Chamber takes, would come into effect.

“This Senate has done this many times before; when there was a hike in the mobile telecommunication data charges, we intervened and put an end to that. When there were discrepancies and increases in electricity prices, we also took action. We have done this on a number of similar cases. Therefore, on this, I want us to take effective resolutions,” Saraki said.

Other Senators who contributed to the debate, called on banks to review their charges.

“The common man is also a victim,” said Senator Emmanuel Bwacha, “Banks declare profits and you wonder where these profits are coming from — it’s from the sweat of the common man. Let us come up with a law that puts banks on their toes.”

“It won’t be out of place to institute a committee that will call on the CBN to tell us what these charges are about. The Senate by fiat should abolish charges if they can’t be verified,” said Senator Bala Ibn Na’Allah.

“The Senate must take a serious stand on this issue. Nigerians are really suffering. The banking system is not encouraging. I had an issue, took it to the bank and was refunded but how many Nigerians can do this? The issue needs to be addressed,” stated Senator Kabiru Gaya.

“For me, this is a major step that we are taking. This is because I introduced the first ATM machine that came into Nigeria over 25-years ago,” the Senate President, Dr. Saraki told his colleagues.

“Now, after 25-years, we should have grown out of these excessive charges and moved on. So, I believe that this is something that we must address to create an environment that protects all Nigerians, because these kind of charges in this economy affects everyone.”

The Senate further directed its Committees on Banking, Insurance & other Financial Institutions and Finance to conduct an investigation into the propriety of ATM card maintenance charges in comparison with international best practices and report back to the Senate.

The Senate also directed the committees to invite the Governor of the CBN to appear before it to explain why the official charges as approved by the CBN are skewed in favour of the banking institutions as against the ordinary customers of the banks.

The Senate called on the Consumer Protection Council to look into the various complaints of excessive and unnecessary charges by Nigerian banks.

Court grants Shittu’s prayer to serve NYSC processes

2018-10-18T15:48:00.000+01:00

The Federal High Court in Ibadan, on Thursday, granted the application of the Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, to serve originating summons on the National Youth Service Corps in Abuja.

The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that Shittu had in the last few weeks been confronted with criticisms for not observing the mandatory one-year national youth service.

Justice P.I. Ajoku ruled that the service of the originating summons be served on the respondents through the bailiffs of the court.

“The service of the plaintiff’s processes on the first, third and fourth defendants who are in Abuja shall be effected by the bailiffs of this honourable court,” the judge ruled.

The judge, however, adjourned the case till November 19 for report of service.

The suit has the Director-General, NYSC; the State Coordinator, NYSC; the NYSC and the Attorney-General of the Federation as the first, second, third and fourth defendants respectively.

Earlier, Mr Muktar Aderogba, counsel to the plaintiff, prayed the court to issue and serve the originating summons and the accompanying processes in the suit on the address of NYSC office in Abuja.

Aderogba added that he relied on the 12-paragraph affidavit and the written address supplied in support of his application.

The minister is seeking the order of the court to direct the first three defendants to issue him with a certificate of national service.

This, according to his originating summons, is based on having served the nation as a member of the House of Assembly of Oyo State between 1979 and 1983.

Alternatively, he is praying the court to grant an order to direct the first three defendants to issue him with a certificate of exemption from the NYSC.

This, he said, was again based on having served in an alternative capacity as a member of the Oyo state house of assembly.

Corper dies of kidney ailment a day before passing out parade

2018-10-18T15:44:00.000+01:00

The Ogun State Coordinator of the NYSC, Mrs. Josephine Bakare, has disclosed that a corps member died of kidney-related complications a day before the passing out parade.

Bakare disclosed this at the passing out parade of the about 3,799 corps members for the 2017 Batch ‘B’ Stream 1 in Ogun. The corps members had completed their service year on Thursday.

She charged them to keep themselves busy and utilise lessons learnt.

The corps members comprised 2,026 females and 1,773 males.

The coordinator advised the youths to use the opportunity to engage themselves in self-development endeavours, rather than wait on non-existent jobs.

She inspired them to be the best they could be, adding that it is only by investing in themselves that they could achieve greater heights.

“One opportunity opened to you is entrepreneurship, which has become the centre-piece of self-empowerment as preached by the NYSC scheme.

“It is my earnest hope that a large percentage of you will become job creators rather than job seekers.

“Don’t waste time to wait for jobs that are not forthcoming.

“It is this attitude that will take you to the pinnacle of whatever pursuit you embark upon, marking you for great exploits,’’ Bakare advised.

She urged the corps members not to involve themselves in illegal activities that could tarnish their image.

The corps members were also urged to imbibe the spirit of humility, service and dedication as they enter into the larger society.

The coordinator said that about 25 corps members ran afoul of the NYSC bye-laws and did not complete the programme.

She added that pending directives from the national body of the scheme, those affected will either get elongated service or be asked to repeat the programme as deemed fit.

Higuain not bitter despite Juventus trading up with Ronaldo

2018-10-18T15:41:00.000+01:00

AC Milan striker Gonzalo Higuain said on Thursday he was not bitter despite being “kicked out” by Juventus after superstar Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival last summer.

Juventus signed Higuain from Napoli for 90 million euros ($103 million) in 2016, but after the surprise arrival of Ronaldo from Real Madrid for 100 million euros ($115m) this summer, the Italian giants could not afford to keep the Argentine.

Higuain — loaned to AC Milan with a 36-million-euro option to buy — said he knew something was afoot when he was left on the bench for the Italian Cup final against AC Milan in May.

“That day, I had the feeling inside me that maybe something had broken down. And then they signed Ronaldo,” Higuain said in an interview with Gazzetto dello Sport.

“The decision to leave was not mine. I gave everything for Juventus, I won several titles, after which Cristiano arrived.

“The club wanted to make a leap in quality and they told me that I could not stay and that they were trying to find a solution. The best solution was Milan.”

But Higuain said that he felt no thoughts of revenge against his old club where he won two Serie A and Italian Cup trophies.

“No, not at all. I only feel affection because they treated me very well,” said the 30-year-old.

“My teammates and the fans treated me really well, but I never asked to leave. Basically, as everyone says, they kicked me out.

“I immediately felt great love from Milan and they convinced me.”

Higuain — who will take part in his first derby against city rivals Inter Milan on Sunday — has scored four goals for Milan to bring his tally to 115 since his arrival in Serie A in 2013 from Real Madrid.

“Milan have given me something more after a World Cup which wasn’t great,” he said.

“I’ve found what I was looking for.”

Higuain joined Napoli in 2013 after six years with Real Madrid where he won three La Liga titles.

But he blamed Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis for leaving the club on bad terms.

“(Ezequiel) Lavezzi left on bad terms, (Edinson) Cavani the same. With (coach Maurizio) Sarri on the bench he was already contacting another coach.

“Everyone has had problems with him and people insult others. I have nothing negative to say about the Napoli fans, those were three beautiful years.

“They loved me and now they hate me. One day I’ll say what I think, but right now I can’t.”

15 corps members get service extension in Nasarawa

2018-10-18T15:37:00.003+01:00

The National Youth Service Corps has extended the service year for 15 corps members who served in the 2017 Batch B, Stream one, in Nasarawa State, for various misconducts.

Mrs Zainab Isah, NYSC Coordinator in the state, announced this on Thursday after supervising a low-key Passing out Parade for the corps members in Lafia.

Isah said the affected corps members had their service year extended by various periods for contravening the NYSC bye-laws. “Some corps members erred during the service year.

“We have 15 corps members that have disciplinary cases.

“Some of them missed the monthly allowances because they embarked on unauthorised journeys and others left their places of primary assignment without permission.

“The allowances they missed is what will be used to pay them as they serve their punishment and the period of the extension depends on the gravity of the misconduct,’’ She said.

Isah said the extension of the service year of the erring corps members was based on the recommendation of the state NYSC Disciplinary Committee.

“We have a committee on corps discipline, comprising of all assistant directors and all heads of branches in the secretariat.

“This body look into the cases and invite the corps members concerned to defend themselves.

“At the end, a decision is taken strictly in accordance with our laws.’’

Minimum wage: We are still struggling to pay N18,000 – Governors

2018-10-18T14:48:00.001+01:00

Nigerian Governors under the aegis of the Nigerian Governors Forum have declared that they are still struggling to pay the current minimum wage of N18,000.

Though they said they were not against the upward review of the minimum wage, they nevertheless said the ability of states to pay must be considered.

Chairman of the Forum, who is also the Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara, said this while briefing journalists after the meeting of the governors held in Abuja on Wednesday night.

National President of Nigeria Labour Congress, Mr. Ayuba Wabba, was also at the meeting.

Yari said that the issue was not just on agreed figure to be paid by the governors, but the “ability or resources to take care of that agreed minimum wage.”

He said that the forum had made it clear that the governors were not against any upward review of salaries or against the NLC to get minimum wage reviewed.
He said, “But, the problem of state is the capacity to pay what is agreed. As we are talking today, we are (still) struggling with N18,000.

“Some of the states are paying 35 per cent, some 50 per cent and still some states have salary arrears.

“So, it is not about only reviewing it but how we are going to get the resources to cater for it.”

Yari added that Wabba was invited to brief the forum on states performance in the use of London and Paris Club refunds.

The Federal Government disbursed the fund to states with the condition to use a larger percentage of the money to pay workers’ salaries.

He said while some states had recorded some progress in line with the condition they signed with the Federal Government, others were still owing arrears.
According to him, “So, we invited the National President of NLC to give us details on how some states performed. Some other states that are not up to date, where are they.

“So they have signed Memorandum of Understanding with the NLC at the national level and their representative in states on when they are going to overcome the issue of salary arrears.

“That has been done and it has been taken to the Central Bank Governor to ensure that those states were also paid.”

British woman faces jail in Dubai after placing a man's glasses in a bin while he fought her friends

2017-11-29T17:15:00.001+01:00

A British woman is facing jail in Dubai after her friends got into a fight with a Swedish tech executive, when he caught them taking selfies with him as he was sleeping in a hotel lobby.

Asa Hutchinson, 21, claims she was not involved in the fight with the Swede, and had only picked up the man's glasses from the floor and 'put them in the bin because she was worried someone would step on them'.

Ms Hutchinson, originally from Chelmsford, Essex, says that as her friends were just visiting tourists, and she is living in Dubai, she has ended up facing charges of assault and theft alone.

Her mother Lucie Harrison has today defended her daughter, saying she is 'absolutely and completely innocent'.

'She was there at the time but all she did was pick some glasses up off the floor and put them in the bin because she was worried someone would step on them.

Ms Hutchinson herself has said that she and her friends had been to a brunch at Dusty's in Dubai's International Financial Centre district when they spotted a man who had fallen asleep on a sofa.

She describes how her friends began taking selfies with the sleeping man, Swedish a technology company executive in his 50s, when he suddenly woke up.

According to Ms Hutchinson, the man became angry and began punching her friends.

'The man woke up and began punching the boys. I heard the commotion and came back to see what was going on.'

The group left, but unbeknownst to them, the unnamed Swedish man contacted police.

'He called the police and made official complaints about the boys for taking pictures of him, and for being rude.'

Police obtained the group's names from the reservations list of the hotel restaurant and they were called in to a police station.

Ms Hutchinson says her friends managed to get their passports back by paying cash deposits, before flying home to the UK, but as an expat living in Dubai, she has ended up taking the full hit on their behalf.

She has been charged with assault and theft - the man is accusing her of having stolen his glasses them - and there is a real threat of a custodial sentence.

Ms Hutchinson, a key account manager for a transportation company, says: 'It is so unfair, I was not involved, I just happened to be there, but the police are not interested in anything I have to say.

'Once the man made his complaint it was taken as fact. I can't go to jail, I couldn't cope.'

Her mother, added: 'You always worry about your kids, especially in these Middle Eastern countries.

'There is so much on the news about the way they treat British visitors, but Asa was having a great time.

'She loved the work and made so many friends - she is a quiet, sensible girl and really is the last person to start any trouble.'

'What I find really upsetting is that Asa has not turned her back and run away- she was saying, I've done nothing.

'She's really taking the rap, those guys in Dubai really seem to do things by association, I just find the whole thing so shocking.

'I'm just very concerned about her. Police have taken her passport, so won't even be able to take out money.

'I'm very concerned about her mental health now because she's very anxious.'

Her father Iain has added his concerns: 'This older guy was the one hitting everyone, he ought to know better at his age than getting into drunken fights with kids.

'And now he can't throw his weight around and get them into trouble, he is picking on my young daughter.'

Radha Stirling, CEO of Detained in Dubai, the organisation representing Ms Hutchinson, said: 'Visitors to the UAE need to be aware that justice does not operate the same way as it does in countries with mature legal systems.

'In Dubai, if two parties are in dispute or arguing, the first person to speak to the police is usually the one who is believed.

'Often it is a race to get to the police first.

'By making this complaint, the man may have been safeguarding himself from being charged himself.

'Also, it is clear in this case that Asa was a bystander, not involved with the fight and is only being victimised because the alleged culprits have left the country.'

Armed police officer disrupt vigil service in Ghana, arrests Head pastor over excessive noise

2017-11-29T17:11:00.000+01:00

Police officer disrupted the watch night service of the House of Bethel Ministry located at Anwomaso-High Tension, a suburb of Kumasi and arrested the Head pastor, Reverend Kwame Takyi for excessive noise in the wee hours of last Saturday morning.

The Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Mr Osei Mensah reportedly stormed the church at about 12:30 am, with armed Police officers, and ordered members of the church to halt an ongoing Watch Night Service because of their excessive noise making.

The incident led to the arrest of Reverend Kwame Takyi, who was granted bail later around 8:00 am, according to Citi News.

Justifying the arrest, Mr Osei Mensah, said in an interview with Citi News that bringing in the police to halt the situation was his last resort after the church, ignored his previous warnings and appeared to have increased the noise levels in an apparent act of defiance.

"Several times [about the noise levels]. Yesterday [Friday], around midnight, they were making a lot of noise. I entered the church and I told them the level of the noise was too high.”

He said the congregants numbering about 30 could not understand the reason why he was complaining about the noise which was disrupting his sleep.

“The moment after I warned them and left, it [the noise] became even worse. Maybe I annoyed them so they rather increased the volume and I had no other option but to report them to the police,” Mr Osei Mensah stated.

However, the Secretary of the House of Bethel Ministry, Stephen Osei is disputing the claims of the regional Minister claiming he has been aware of their programme which is held on last Friday of every month.

"At a point, the police felt the noise that was going on wasn’t something that could disrupt the place because it is a programme we do every last Friday of the month. He [the Regional Minister] has always been here with us and this time, we felt surprised this thing was going on.” he explained.

“Normally what we do is that, by 1:30 AM, we leave the microphone to the pastor to preach, and by then, we mute we everything in the room. People are not allowed to sing in the room,” he added.

Stella Maxwell ditched the undergarment as she attended a viewing party for the runway show in New York on Tuesday in little more than a completely see-through lace dress that also showed off her underwear.

The catwalk queen, 27, sizzled as she arrived to the star-studded bash with her physique on full display, while protecting her modesty with what appeared to be a pair of nipple covers.

Stella's edgy dress clung to her waist and flashed some serious leg as well. She wore her gold blonde hair in a ponytail with loose tendrils framing her radiant and perfectly polished complexion.

The star's bright blue eyes were brought out with a swipe of smoky eye shadow. And she had on golden blush to highlight her defined cheekbones. More Photos below...

Keeping the accessories to a minimum, Stella did add a golden touch with her chain choker necklace.
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show took place last week in Shanghai, China.

Lais Ribeiro was the lucky model to wear this year's coveted Fantasy Bra down the runway. The star-studded Victoria's Secret Fashion Show also saw the likes of Elsa Hosk, Bella Hadid, and Karlie Kloss make their way down the catwalk..

Demi Rose was once again putting on an eye-popping display in a sizzling scarlet gown when she attended the 2017 Beauty Awards in London on Tuesday evening.

The 22-year-old model opted for out-and-out glamour in a Jessica Rabbit-style gown which displayed her assets to perfection. Demi showcased a liberal amount of cleavage in the extreme plunging number, which barely contained her curves.

The red silk dress also boasted a dangerously high thigh-split, showcasing a liberal amount of leg as she left the event. The Birmingham born beauty almost suffered a wardrobe malfunction in the daring number.

Demi set off the look with a pair of nude heels featuring diamante embellished heels. She pulled her ensemble together with a dramatic top knot, with loose brunette tendrils framing her face.

Demi recently admitted she fears for her safety after being hounded by two Argos deliverymen. The 22-year-old said the workers asked her out after visiting her London home and that one of them then begged her not to tell his managers. More photos below...

She is set to perform at the MOBO Awards in Leeds' First Direct Arena on Wednesday. And Cardi B flaunted her ample assets in a revealing bra and fancy blazer as she hung out at London's Tape club in Mayfair on Tuesday evening.

The 25-year-old - real name Belcalis Almanzar - recently received two Grammy nominations for her chart-topping hit Bodak Yellow.

The New Yorker strutted the streets of London in her revealing ensemble, which included a matching PVC bra and bottoms, as she stood on pointed stilettos. Adding to her eccentric persona, the former reality TV star threw on a bedazzled blazer, embellished with studs and crystals.

She upped the ante in the accessory department, as she paired oversized hooped earrings with an elaborate pink nail design.

Cardi went for full on glam as her natural beauty was enhanced with shimmery silver eyeshadow, a pink-toned blush and fluttery false lashes, finished with a glossy lip.

Her raven locks fell against her mid section as she wore her tresses in a sleekly straight hairstyle.

The international music sensation is due to give an electric performance at the MOBO awards, alongside UK acts Krept and Konan, Stefflon Don and Yungen. See more photos below....

Bosnian war chief commit suicide in court

2017-11-29T16:39:00.000+01:00

Former Bosnian-Croat military leader Slobodan Praljak, 72, yelled, 'I am not a war criminal!' and appeared to drink from a small bottle, seconds after losing his appeal at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, in The Hague, Netherlands.

According to Croatian state television, the 72-year-old has since died in hospital - and the court room has been declared a crime scene.

Praljak is one of six Croatian politicians sentenced to jail for their involvement in a campaign to drive Muslims out of a would-be Bosnian Croat mini-state in Bosnia in the early 1990s.
