They have failed Nigerians and we will do everything to take over in 2019,” he said.

Chidiogo Akunyili, the daughter of late Dora Akunyili, and her Canadian husband Andrew Parr held another wedding abroad months after their Nigerian wedding. The couple who had their traditional wedding (read here ) and white wedding (read here ) in Agulu, Anambra, Nigeria, in June, had another wedding at the scenic Bark Lake Leadership Centre in Canada. The ceremony was an intimate affair organised outdoors in a setting that looked like an ancient Igbo village square meeting. There was a fire in the middle while wedding guests sat around it. The bride and groom walked in to a melodious Igbo love song reminiscent of the types sung in Nollywood movies. The couple went around to greet their guests and the high point was watching the bride's father hug her, wipe her face with a handkerchief then hug her again. The minister also joked about the fact that the couple have had a couple of other weddings. He said to the amusement of wedding gu...

Since the financial crisis that enveloped the global market a decade ago, the profitability and reputation of banks has been under tremendous pressure worldwide, Nigeria inclusive. Whilst the banking industry is now regaining its health, the entrant of fintechs and neo-banks in the industry is posing a new threat. This digital disruption is changing the traditional way through which customers obtain financial services, hence putting more pressure on banks’ profitability. However, a bank in Nigeria, Keystone Bank Ltd, is challenging the status quo by making transformation and profitability appear like a mere walk over as revealed in its achievements within a short time span. From the perspective of the results on ground, it appears to be a great time for Keystone Bank. In just one year of AMCON’s divestment, the bank has changed its narrative from “one of those banks” to a financial institution to be reckoned with and as a result is experiencing an influx of business m...

  The Federal Government has distanced itself from the calls for Senate President Bukola Saraki to resign or be impeached following his defection from APC to PDP. Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed said this during a visit to Blueprints Newspaper in Abuja yesterday. According to Lai, the call for Saraki's removal was purely a party affair and that the government had no hand in it. He however pointed out that the party's call for Saraki's removal was legitimate. Lai Mohammed said the Federal Government was surprised that the National Assembly members failed to reconvene yesterday August 14th to debate the Independent National Electoral Commission supplementary budget for 2019 elections. “We were surprised that it is being postponed, but I want to assure Nigerians that as we speak, the executive is reaching out to the legislators to resolve this. This is not about playing politics, elections must hold, no alterna...
