Scratching my head on this, trying to figure how that will work here

One of the most technical insider fraud cases in Nigerian banking involved Olajide Ogunmoroti, a former Access Bank ICT staff member accused of helping orchestrate a ₦5.7 billion banking fraud. According to testimony presented in court by Access Bank employee Abdulmajeed Agboola, Ogunmoroti allegedly connected a private laptop directly into the bank’s internal server infrastructure — bypassing normal security controls. That access reportedly allowed the suspects to manipulate overdraft limits on customer accounts. Normally, overdrafts are tightly controlled by the bank’s core banking system. But investigators said the manipulation allowed certain accounts to withdraw and transfer funds even when there was no money in the account. From there, the money was moved across multiple accounts and banks, allowing the fraud network to withdraw and transfer large sums before the transactions were detected. The total exposure investigators traced from the scheme was over ₦5.7 billion. Even more suspicious: when investigators attempted to review the bank’s CCTV logs connected to the activity, the footage tied to the suspicious system access had reportedly been wiped. The suspects were eventually charged with unauthorized access to computer systems, stealing, money laundering, and retention of proceeds of crime. Cases like this reveal a difficult reality for banks: the most dangerous attacks are often not external hackers breaking through firewalls. They are insiders who already understand the architecture of the banking systems they are exploiting.

In January 2025, the CBN sent a directive to NIBSS. Simple message. Devastating implications. From now on, if fraud proceeds land in your bank's settlement account, NIBSS will debit you automatically. No warning. No negotiation. No grace period this time around. You receive stolen funds you pay. This directive became quietly effective in December 2024 after a major bank lost ₦7 billion to fraud. NIBSS reportedly debited the settlement accounts of a fintech that received some of those proceeds without explanation, without notice. Two fintech executives told TechCabal their accounts were debited before they even knew what had happened. The CBN was sending a message that no press release could say more clearly: The era of "we didn't know the money was stolen" is over. If fraudulent funds enter your platform, you are responsible. Know your transactions. Know your customers. Watch your inflows. Because in 2025, ignorance was not a defence it was an invoice. Adedeji Olowe, founder of Lendsqr, put it plainly: "What this means is that banks and fintechs are now responsible for the money that comes to them. This has always been the foundation of KYC." Only 60 of 163 Nigerian financial institutions reported fraud cases in 2023. The rest stayed quiet to protect their reputation. The CBN just made silence expensive.

JUST IN: Tucker Carlson told Pentagon officials and White House aides to refuse the president’s orders, resign if necessary, and figure out the codes on the nuclear football themselves. Trump dismissed him as low IQ. The White House clarified that nuclear weapons are not under consideration. And six hours later, JD Vance stood in Budapest and said the United States has largely accomplished its military objectives and the war will end very shortly. That sequence matters more than any individual quote. Every major outlet confirmed Carlson’s remarks verbatim. He called Trump’s Easter post a desecration of the holiday and the first step toward nuclear war. He positioned himself as the conscience of the America First movement. The podcast went viral. Meanwhile, the actual war continued producing results. The IDF struck one of the few remaining facilities producing chemical components for explosives and ballistic missiles in Shiraz. Over 130 Iranian air defence systems have been dismantled. Three petrochemical complexes responsible for 85 percent of Iran’s weapons-chemistry exports have been rendered inoperable. Kharg Island’s military targets were hit. Ten railway bridges used by the IRGC to move missiles were severed in a single day. Iran’s intelligence chief was killed. Transport aircraft and dozens of helicopters were destroyed. Tucker sees an out-of-control escalation. The operational picture suggests methodical degradation of a regime firing ballistic missiles at apartment buildings in Haifa, striking oil refineries in Kuwait, hitting desalination plants that provide drinking water to millions, and threatening to plunge the entire Gulf into darkness. Four members of one family died in a single Iranian strike on a Haifa residential building on Sunday. The IRGC struck Saudi petrochemical facilities the same week Tucker called the American response evil. Carlson’s isolationism is consistent. He renounced his Iraq War support in 2004 and has opposed every intervention since. That consistency earns respect. But consistency does not equal strategic clarity, and timing matters as much as principle. Trump set a deadline. Iran rejected a ceasefire. The military continued degrading verified weapons infrastructure. The diplomatic channel through Witkoff remained active, with Vance checking a live text from the special envoy mid-press conference. The administration is applying maximum kinetic pressure while keeping a negotiation door open. That is not insanity. That is coercive diplomacy. Credible threat plus visible off-ramp. The administration is running both. What Tucker’s intervention does, regardless of intent, is signal to Tehran that the American coalition is fracturing. Every day Tehran believes American resolve is weakening, it holds Hormuz closed another day. Every day Hormuz stays closed, the molecule crisis deepens, fertiliser shortages lock in yield losses across South Asia, and the gap between what markets price and what the chemistry dictates grows wider. Tucker opened a political front in a three-front war. The physical front in the Gulf continues to advance. The molecular front in the global supply chain continues to tighten. The question is whether the political front he opened gives Tehran enough hope to outlast the pressure that is otherwise working. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

This actually happened. Nigerian police confirmed it. January 2025. Nine months after Flutterwave's ₦11 billion breach in April 2024, Nigerian police launched Operation Butterfly Net. 179 people arrested. The arrests confirmed what many had suspected the breach was not a sophisticated state-sponsored hack. It was an organised fraud network that had methodically studied how Flutterwave's transaction monitoring worked. They knew the thresholds. They knew the timing. They moved money in amounts and patterns designed specifically to stay invisible. Funds transferred across five financial institutions over four days. Each deposit carefully kept just below the limit that would trigger a flag. By the time Flutterwave's system noticed something unusual most of the money had already moved. This is what sophisticated financial fraud looks like in 2024. Not a programmer in a hoodie breaking through firewalls. A coordinated network that treats your fraud detection system as a puzzle to be studied and solved. The uncomfortable truth for every Nigerian developer building payment infrastructure: Your fraud rules are public knowledge to serious attackers. They test your system. They probe your limits. They map your thresholds. Then they operate just underneath them. Static rules are not enough. Adaptive fraud detection with systems that flag unusual patterns even when individual transactions look clean is not optional at scale. Flutterwave found out for ₦11 billion. 179 arrests later, the lesson is documented.

🇮🇷 "The American special forces fell into a trap set by Iran's armed forces." New details emerging on the failed Isfahan operation. Iranian sources now confirm this was not a pilot rescue mission. It was a raid on a nuclear facility. Zero hour was set at the White House under Trump's direct supervision. The landing site, an abandoned airstrip, was chosen specifically for its proximity to an Isfahan nuclear site. Generals who warned against the operation were fired days before it launched. Iran let the first C-130 land and the commandos disembark, then sprang the trap when the second aircraft approached. Little Bird helicopters never got airborne. US jets bombed their own equipment to prevent capture. Personnel fled so fast they left their ID documents behind. Iranian sources call it worse than Tabas 1980 and the fallout will affect Trump's political future for years.

I shared a story some time ago about all these UK 🇬🇧 women shenanigans…. I was going through my DMs and I stumbled upon it again.. The story taught me that you can never be too careful with a woman, and you can only keep a woman who wants to be kept. Read carefully and learn one or two .. (I have anonymised as much as I can) My wife had sex with her coursemate on the second day of her arrival in the UK. I got here one month later because I went back offshore after dropping her off at Abuja. She flew into Scotland in 2022 and deliberately didn’t call me that day because she was having fun with her doctor boyfriend whom she had just met on a university WhatsApp group. I had to do as advised. I planned and got my own Certificate of Sponsorship and left her. I filed for divorce. Thank God we don’t have kids yet in the marriage. This guy and my wife were importing Postinor from Nigeria monthly, and yet she denied me sex. I slept with my wife only four times in two years. My brother, men have suffered because of the so-called freedom women enjoy here. It’s not a story. I don’t like social media, and besides, my divorce is still ongoing in a Lagos High Court, so I can’t even come public with it. I paid for everything, and she never contributed to basic rent. This guy was coming to my home and sleeping with my wife there. I didn’t join the space to hear the other guy the other day, but I’ve seen wicked women. I was married to one of such. I’m good now. She’s angry that I didn’t leave the UK. She accused me of rape, of locking her up, and seizing her phone. But those were not proven. So she’s angry they’re not milking me again. I stopped the monthly payments I made to her parents and siblings. I can tell you that you can’t even please a woman by giving her the best of life. My own proved this to be true. That’s why I didn’t leave the UK. I actually told her that the police in Scotland have the capacity to unravel what they did to me in two years—the hotels they rented countless times in Glasgow and Aberdeen to stay and betray our marriage vows. She didn’t report me to the police. But I notified the police that I filed a divorce case against my ex and wanted to bring to their attention that there was a claim in the case in Nigeria that I raped her in the UK. I also told them that both individuals were stealing my data from my laptop she carried away. They checked and said I’m clean, and no such was reported against me. But unfortunately, they couldn’t help me recover my laptop. They advised me to change all my passwords and log out of my accounts. She came to record me and was asking questions. They were in my home for me, and I narrated my ordeal, but they didn’t do much—just collected her new address from the reply she filed in court. Then they told me they can’t comment on a case in another jurisdiction. Yes, she thought I was still under her Certificate of Sponsorship. And then I cut off every money she was making off me. She used to say, “I need £2000 from you today to sort something. I’m owing someone.” This was a regular occurrence in my life. Yes, the boyfriend is also in the UK. I’m trying to locate his family in Lekki. Both of them were in public health together at the university. Please, my brother, warn men not to ever raise their hands on these women. That’s the only advantage they have over us. Many other things can be handled if this one is checked. I’m strong now. I guess the effect of over 50 packets of Postinor she consumed via her boyfriend is coming to full force. Nothing at all. I told her lawyer to tell his “ghost wife” client to approach the police since I’m legally residing in the UK and lodge her rape allegations. Otherwise, they should leave this divorce to proceed. I’m suspecting she terminated the pregnancy so it would not stop her from going to the UK in January 2022. It was a two-month pregnancy in July 2021. Miscarriage, they said.
