When you find yourself participating in or able to afford the lifestyles outlined below, you are truly rich in today’s Nigeria.
The 5 things…
Still saving money amid hardship, you appear rich
If you can still afford to put away a certain amount of money for savings consistently, you’re not among those struggling to survive in the current harsh economy.
The trending lingo in town is that of ‘no money’ to be able to afford the basic things of life; having a savings amid the ‘no money’ era gives you a special status in the society.
Never running out of fuel for personal consumption
There are some people who run on generator in their houses non-stop despite the removal of fuel subsidy resulting in the high cost of fuel.
If you find yourself in this category, never running out of fuel, and always running on generator, you are truly an ‘Odogwu’

Still frequenting eateries
With the skyrocketing cost of food prices today, eateries that were relatively costly in the pre-hardship days, have taken notches higher in their prices.
If you are still a regular face in eateries, best believe, the hardship has nothing on you.
You’re not complaining
You go to the mall, and hear of the doubled cost of items, and without blinking an eyelid or expressing the slightest surprise, you whip out your card and pay.
Another instance is other around you are always lamenting how difficult things are for them economically, but you are seated there and cannot relate because life is as comfortable for you as it has ever been. No comment.
Popping champagnes in clubs
An average bottle of champagne is about N100,000, there are some people who go to clubs and buy as many as five bottles per night. You will agree that there is no way such kind of persons are feeling the heat of the economic hardship.

He said that she was the number 18 among the girls that were rescued by the Nigerian military.
Shuaibu explained that the abduction of the Chibok school girls in 2014, made both national and international headlines which culminated in the hashtag, “bring back our girls. ”
The commander added that several efforts have been made both internationally and nationally to return the girls safely and reunite them with their families.
“One of such national efforts is the conduct of military operations deep within the terrorists’ enclaves which have yielded positive results to facilitate rescue of some of the Chibok girls.
“Starting from Esther Marcus, who appears on serial 103 on the abducted Chibok school girls’ list, who was the first to be rescued by troops of 7 Division Gar, till now efforts are still ongoing.
“Just recently on April 17, one more Chibok girl was rescued with her three children from the Mandara mountain by troops of the theatre,” he said.

Alleged Fraud: Court Admits Bundles Of Documents As Evidence Against Emefiele

EditorThe trial of the former Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, charged with abuse of office and alleged $4.5 billion and N2.8 billion fraud continued on Thursday with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, tendering bundles of documents before the court.
The bundles of documents were tendered by the EFCC counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo, through the third prosecution witness, Clement Ngolu, a compliance officer with Zenith Bank.
The documents were admitted as evidence following no objections from the first defence counsel, Olalekan Ojo and the second defence counsel, Adeyinka Kotoye.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Justice Rahman Oshodi admitted the original copies of the Zenith Bank account opening package and statement of account of Limelight Multidimensional Services Ltd. sent to the EFCC as evidence.
“I have read the documents dated March 2024, and I admit the original certified copy of the bundles of documents, which include account opening package and statement of accounts, into evidence and are marked as Exhibit A,” Oshodi said.
Ngolu, in his evidence, said his department responded to regulators and law enforcement agencies to ensure that bank activities were in line with banking policies and regulations.
He further stated that his department worked with agencies such as EFCC, Nigeria Police, ICPC, and NSCDC.
The witness said that his department in 2014 got a request from the EFCC to furnish them with statements of accounts for Limelight and two other accounts.
“The documents we sent to the EFCC were duly signed by the staff of the bank. The process of generating the statement was done through our computer system, which was in good condition.
“The documents were printed out from the company’s computer, which was working well and the documents were in the bank’s custody,” the witness said.
The defence, however, said they had no question for the witness.
Also, a former Director of Information Technology of CBN, Mr John Ayoh, in the continuation of his cross-examination, said he had a confrontation with Emefiele because he asked him to do something wrong.
The witness, who further confirmed that he was sidelined by the embattled governor, added that his being sidelined made him not have any relationship with him.
“I was not happy being unpopular with the former CBN governor but on a number of occasions, I signed contract letters to vendors,” he said.
The fourth witness, a contractor, testified before the court that he was allegedly pressured by the apex bank management to pay $600,000 for the contract that he had executed.
