“His problem was that he trusted so many people but they did not leave up to expectation. He gave them room to operate and now he complains that he don’t have money.

Watch the video of the interview Adeyanju granted below:

“If a former President can be complaining all the time, which he does frequently; he starts raising the issue of people that stole so much money and he just shake his head,” he said.

Meanwhile, ZENITHBLOG.com had reported that former President Goodluck Jonathan recently clashed with Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna state over how an Ecological Fund was disbursed during the last administration.

Jonathan, in slamming El-Rufai, called the governor a pathological liar as claimed by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

In his reply on Monday, May 30, Governor Nasir El-Rufai called Jonathan a man that refuses to take responsibility for anything concerning his government.

Hear him: “Former President Goodluck Jonathan is not a man that can take responsibility for anything.

“In March 2015, not long after making a concession call to President Buhari, he summoned his party and asked its leadership to reject the results of an election whose winner he had congratulated in private.

“That effort at duplicity failed spectacularly and the will of the people prevailed.”

The senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Garba Shehu on Tuesday, May 30, faulted Fayose’s demand as misplaced.

Speaking on Channels Tv’s politics today, the presidential media aide said the governor’s statement was borne out of desperation for publicity.

Garba Shehu said Fayose is desperate for publicity

Shehu said Fayose could do anything to be heard every other day.

“I’m sad that you are inviting me to speak on Governor Fayose. If you follow the Presidency, we don’t talk when he talks because he is desperate for publicity,” Shehu said.

“We have a constitution that governs the country and the constitution is very clear about how the country runs. This country has a tripod of authority in terms of distribution of political power.

“You have the parliament which is doing its own work, you have the judiciary which is running, you have the executive and we don’t have any problem with this so therefore if anybody has a problem with the constitution then they should go and change it,” he noted.

ZENITHBLOG.com recalls that Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign from his position as the president of Nigeria if he has any integrity.

In a statement by Lere Olayinka who is his media aide, the governor was quoted as saying president Buhari’s ill health has prevented him from discharging his constitutional duties.

The governor also spoke about the Chibok girls’ saga which he described as an orchestrated plan that was used to blackmail former president, Goodluck Jonathan.

He said one day, the truth about it will be revealed to Nigerians.

How Nigerian banks lost N2.19 billion to fraudsters in 2016 – CBN

– Nigerian banks recorded 19, 531 fraud cases in 2016

– Attempted fraud was valued at N4.36 billion

– Actual loss through counter transaction, internet banking and ATM is N2.19 billion

The Nigerian Deposit Money Banks lost a whooping sum of N2.19 billion to fraudsters in 2016, according to a report presented by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

This report was given by the CBN governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, during who presented the Nigeria Electronic Fraud Forum Annual Report during the NEFF stakeholders’ workshop on cybercrime.

The report stated that 19,531 fraud cases were reported for the DMBs in 2016 as against 10,743 in 2015, Punch reports.

It stated that although there was an 82 per cent increase in reported fraud cases as compared to 2015; the banking sector witnessed marginal reduction in the value of attempted frauds and actual losses.

The report stated that attempted frauds’ value dropped from N4.37bn in 2015 to N4.36bn in 2016, while actual loss value declined from N2.25bn to N2.19bn.

Nigerian banks recorded 19,531 fraud cases in 2016.

A breakdown of the actual amount lost showed that across the counter transactions accounted for the highest with a total value of N511.07 million.

This was followed by Automated Teller Machine transactions, with N464.5m; Internet banking, N320.66m; Point-of-Sale transactions, N243.32m; and mobile banking transactions, N235.17m.

Losses from e-commerce transactions were put at N132.25m; web transactions, N83.77m; cheques, N4.55m; kiosks, N10.19m; and others, N190.97m.

The report read in part: “Based on trend and human perception, it is believed that fraud rates increase towards the end of the year due to festivities observed during this period and the need for people to get more money.

“But the truth is fraud can occur anytime, hence the need for us to always gear up our preventive and detective strategies.”

Speaking on the theme of the workshop, Emefiele said: “The protection of information infrastructure utilised in the delivery of financial services is considered critical all over the world.

“It was because of the importance of securing infrastructure such as that of the financial sector, and protecting the underlying services from cyberattacks that the Cybercrime (Prohibition and Prevention) Act was enacted in 2015.

“It is now about two years into the commencement of the Act, and so it is not too early to conduct a holistic review of its implementation.”

“Thus, your deliverables at this workshop should include a careful examination of the extent to which the obligations placed by the Act are fulfilled, and the general assessment of any challenges experienced in compliance with the provisions of the Act.

PAY ATTENTION: Read the news on Nigeria’s #1 news app

“It is our natural expectation that following such careful and interesting review, this workshop would have very little difficulty in proffering the much needed solutions and making practical recommendations for the effective implementation of the Act from hereon.”

Emefiele added that while CBN and banking operators had made efforts to reduce the incidents of fraud and ensure consumer confidence in the payment system, the Cybercrime Act, if effectively enforced, would serve as a deterrent and constant reminder to those who might wish to engage in illicit activities targeting the financial technology infrastructure.

Meanwhile, the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has raised concern over the borrowing attitude of the federal government.

ZENITHBLOG.com gathered that while discussing at its Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) second quarter 2017 meeting, the apex bank said the pace has exceeded the target for the 2017 fiscal year.

Top extraordinary hairstyles in Nigeria

In a country like Nigeria women are more reverent towards their hair. According to some experts, hairstyle for Nigerians is much more than just self-perception. Therefore, it is an unbearable idea for many women to stay without rocking a hairstyle. Nevertheless, one should accept that the most specific and extraordinary hairstyles can be found in Nigeria.

Unusual braid hairstyles

First of all, we should note that this is a country that has its own culture and traditions. Still, different women around the world prefer different hairstyles and in many cases, this depends on the hair type. Nigerians usually have thick curly hair, which can be a challenge to handle. On the one hand, our hair has a naturally easy volume. But on the other hand, we might feel left out when it comes to the styling ideas of our hair.

It is a well-known fact that to make the curly hair more manageable, some girls choke their hair holding them into a bun or a tight braid. Furthermore, thin tight braids create a visual effect of straight hair, which remains a dream for many Nigerian ladies. A positive side of the curly hair is that it is rather flexible and gives an opportunity to create voluminous hair styles.

Speaking about braided hairstyles, there are tons of different variations. Women often make side braids, braided headbands, waterfall hairstyles with braids, tight braids, buns, rolled hairstyles and many others.

For example, a fishtail braid is a perfect choice for the curly hair. Boho fishtail braid takes more time to accomplish in comparison with the ordinary traditional braid hairstyles, but it looks fancier and can hold the chaotic curls in a better way.

So, what are the latest hairstyles in Nigeria 2017?

It is not a secret that Nigerian women are very stylish and creative. As we have already mentioned before, braid hairstyles are very popular in Nigeria. Especially curly crown, a modern and stylish hairstyle which looks amazing on naturally curly hair.

Nowadays, the Ghana weaving styles (also known as banana braids or cornrow hairstyle) and short hairstyles are very popular and are rocked both by fashionistas and celebrities all around the world, not only in Nigeria.

We should also mention that Cornrow hairstyles are traditional styles of braiding the hair close to the scalp. It can be done not only in straight rows but in a complex geometric and curved patterns as well. You can make this hairstyle once and leave it for weeks. It is very comfortable, isn’t it?

Nigerian fashionistas opt for various hairstyles nowadays. We have prepared for your attention the some of the most popular and latest hairstyles in Nigeria 2017. Look at them and get inspired:

1) Plait;

2) Solange;

3) Blue Yarn Twist;

4) Braid up;

5) Braid & Beads;

6) Big Braids;

7) Yarn Wrap;

8) Patewo.

Well, as you can see, trending hairstyles in Nigeria are very unconventional and bright. Of course, braids are popular all over the world. However, Nigerian women take the leading position creating the most gorgeous and unusual hairstyles with braids. Our ladies opt for traditional hairstyles adding something new and fresh. The result looks really amazing and eye-catchy.

In conclusion, I may say that every woman is beautiful and every man is handsome. Each of us can choose our own style in clothes, hairstyles, music etc. Hairstyle is a special way of personal manifestation and imaging of individual perception of beauty. Any way just stay true to yourself, because being natural will be always in trend.
