Dear BMB, the Starlink subsidy you have been benefiting from has been adversely affecting the economy of SpaceX. In order to grow the economy and make it benefit everyone instead of a few cabal. Starlink took the hard decision to remove subsidy. It'll get hard before it gets easy.

The hard truth is nothing will happen. If there are real consequences we will not be seeing such lawlessness by police officers every now and then. I can assure you another incident is on its way.
EFFURUN SHOOTING: POLICE ASSURE JUSTICE AS OFFICER FACES DISCIPLINARY ACTION The Nigeria Police Force condemns the fatal shooting of a suspect, Mene Ogidi, which occurred on 26th April 2026 in Effurun, Delta State. Preliminary reports indicate that operatives attached to the Effurun Area Command responded to credible information from Benin Motor Park along the Warri–Sapele Expressway regarding a suspect apprehended by members of a transport union while attempting to waybill a parcel containing a Beretta pistol with four rounds of ammunition. While efforts were being made to take the suspect into lawful custody, the team leader, ASP Nuhu Usman, discharged his firearm in clear violation of extant regulations, resulting in the death of the suspect. The leadership of the Nigeria Police Force has directed the immediate transfer of the officer and his team to Force Headquarters, Abuja, where they would face the Force Disciplinary Committee for summary disciplinary measures and prosecution. The Inspector-General of Police extends his condolences to the family of the deceased and assures them that justice will be served in accordance with the law. He further urges members of the public to remain calm and law-abiding as the disciplinary and legal processes take their course. The Nigeria Police Force maintains a zero-tolerance stance on extra-judicial actions, abuse of authority, and any conduct that undermines public trust. DCP ANTHONY OKON PLACID, psc(+), mnipr, mni Force Public Relations Officer Force Headquarters, Abuja 28th April 2026

Contrary to the claim that the shooting occurred while taking the suspect into custody, video shows he was already bound with hands and legs tied, pleading for mercy and offering to cooperate before being shot twice. punchng.com/police-arrest-…

Have a website or mobile app with calculator. Select the car type and payment duration. Based on the amount it will calculate the upfront 40% and the monthly repayments plan based on duration you select. That will reduce the back and forth inquiries.
With me you can spread the balance for up to 4 years ! That’s a whole tenure 😉 and the car would also come with maintenance while you repay, comprehensive insurance and registration

If they can’t make it pay as you go, they should pack out of Nigeria. You pay that huge amount and end up watching just a couple of hours in a month. Either you’re at work or light issue.
Price Hike: FCCPC Summons MultiChoice, Warns Against Exploitation The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has summoned MultiChoice Nigeria to explain its proposed subscription price increase, set to take effect on March 1, 2025. Exercising its mandate under Sections 32 and 33 of the FCCPA, the FCCPC directed the Chief Executive Officer of MultiChoice Nigeria to attend an investigative hearing at the Commission's headquarters on Thursday, February 27, 2025. This action follows MultiChoice’s formal notification of the price adjustment, which raises concerns about recurrent unilateral price hikes, potential market dominance abuse, and perceived anti-competitive practices in the pay-TV industry. The FCCPC is deeply concerned that Nigerian consumers continue to face frequent price increases, amid accusations that MultiChoice applies different pricing strategies in other markets, heightening questions about fairness and market abuse. Should MultiChoice fail to provide satisfactory explanations or be found in violation of fair market principles, the FCCPC will be left left with no other option than to impose regulatory penalties, sanctions, or other corrective measures to protect Nigerian consumers. Furthermore, the FCCPC is engaging the sector regulator and other relevant agencies to ensure fair competition and consumer protection within Nigeria’s broadcasting and digital subscription landscape.

Wrong move, abort.
Disregard Falsehoods Being Peddled by Tigran Gambaryan against Nigerian Government Officials – FG The Federal Government of Nigeria notes with concern the outrageous allegations, misinformation, and defamatory statements being disseminated by Tigran Gambaryan, an American personnel of Binance who was recently tried in Nigeria for financial crimes. While the Federal Government of Nigeria is hesitant to engage Mr. Gambaryan, given the high-level diplomatic intervention that resolved his case, we are obliged to set the records straight to stop his falsehoods from gaining grounds. The first visit by Mr. Gambaryan and his colleagues to Nigeria was discretional on their part and Government was not officially involved. However, when the attention of the Government was called to an alleged bribery demand during that trip an investigation was immediately opened into it though there was no formal complaint by anyone. Mr. Gambaryan's second visit to Nigeria was part of a wider probe into the criminal manipulation of the Nigerian currency through peer-to-peer platforms like Binance, but investigators were frustrated by the tactics deployed by Gambaryan and his team. Mr. Gambaryan was released by the Nigerian government in October 2024 on humanitarian grounds and following a high-level diplomatic intervention that ended with tangible benefits for Nigeria. The government rejected Binance's offer of a $5 million down payment in exchange for Mr. Gambaryan's freedom, in favour of a more beneficial settlement with the American government. We categorically deny the retaliatory claims made by Mr. Gambaryan against Nigerian officials involved in his case, and we urge the public to disregard these false accusations in their entirety. It is essential to note that Mr. Gambaryan's allegations are not only unsubstantiated but also lack credibility, given his apparent motive to discredit and intimidate those who ensured he faced justice. However, we are confident that both the Nigerian and American judicial systems will provide Mr. Gambaryan with a fair opportunity to substantiate his claims in court. Until then, we advise the public to exercise caution and not be swayed by Mr. Gambaryan's unfounded and malicious claims. Mohammed Idris Honourable Minister of Information and National Orientation. Friday, February 14, 2025

The keyword is ID card talks to other cards which means there are multiple data points. The issue with Nigeria is there is no law or policy that mandates inter-agency sharing of information.
I have one ID card in America (ok, two) That ID card talks to the other cards, meaning if I go to buy shares, the same ID uses my SSN to check my address. Other uses? 1. I can board a plane 2. I can vote 3. I can open a bank account 4. Police can check my address 5. The hospital can pull my data 6. I can rent 7. I can apply for a job 8. I can drive 9. Get a phone In Nigeria, I have at least five cards; some are duplicated. They don't talk to each other. My passport does not speak to my driver's license. My tax ID does not talk to my driver's license 1. Passport to travel 2. Voters card to vote and open bank ac 3. Tax ID to show I paid tax 4. Drivers license to drive 5. NIN to get a phone and others Nigeria 🇳🇬 has no national crime register, meaning a driver can steal in State A with one ID, move to State B, and buy property with a different set of IDs. How can you buy land or property without a biometric tax ID? Now, Nigeria has BVN, but that's for banks; you still need a NIN. Okay, why can't the NIN be the tax ID? It is. So why do I need BVN? A lot of productivity can be gained by simply creating a single, nationwide database with biometrics Not annual “roll-outs.” It's fixable, so fix it

As a result some don’t even have external APIs while some won’t even allow you access even if they do. NIN is with banks, immigration, FRSC etc. There is nothing stoping you from pulling those records using the NIN but they won’t allow you cos they want control over their data.

Raining direct curses on someone offline is called?
Raining direct curses on someone online is cyberbullying, not expression of freedom or criticism. And cyberbullying, which is even different from defamation, is a criminal offence and punishable. Be guided.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
There is no where in the Nigerian Constitution that defines “Raining direct curses”. This is misinformation and outright weaponisation of absolute power to terrorise citizens of Nigeria by the Police. wipo.int/edocs/lexdocs/…
