• Tribunal upholds FCCPC’s $220m fine against Meta

    The Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal has upheld the $220 million fine imposed on Meta Platforms Incorporated by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, FCCPC.

    The Director for Corporate Affairs of FCCPC, Ondaje Ijagwu, made this announcement in a statement on Friday.

    Ijagwu said that the tribunal also awarded the commission $35,000 to cover the investigation costs.

    DAILY POST reports that Meta and WhatsApp appealed the fine imposed by the FCCPC after the regulator concluded that the companies engaged in discriminatory and exploitative practices against Nigerian consumers.
    The fine arose from a 38-month joint investigation initiated by the FCCPC and the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, NDPC, into the conduct, privacy practices, and consumer data policies of Meta Platforms and WhatsApp.

    The statement read in part, “The Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal today delivered its judgment in the appeal filed by Meta Platforms Incorporated (Facebook) and WhatsApp LLC against the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), affirming the Commission’s authority and actions in nearly all the contested issues.

    “The Tribunal specifically determined that the Commission complied with prevailing laws, discharged its mandate, and exercised its powers within the confines of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). It ruled that the multiple actions by WhatsApp and Meta, for which the Commission made findings of violations, were correctly identified, and that the Commission did not err in making those findings.

    “In addition to upholding the major aspects of the FCCPC’s Final Order, the Tribunal awarded the sum of $220 million against Meta Platforms Incorporated and WhatsApp LLC as an administrative penalty, and further awarded $35,000 to the FCCPC as cost of investigation.”
    Recall that the FCCPC had on 19 July 2024 issued a Final Order imposing a $220 million administrative penalty after concluding that the companies engaged in discriminatory and exploitative practices against Nigerian consumers.

  • TYPES OF WOMEN.

    By Mr VIDAMBU Sam.

    So many men see a Lady, like her, love and want to marry her without trying to find out what type of Lady she is and if she's the type they want to go down the high with. Beauty doesn't make a Lady, personality does and Ladies have so amazing personalities if only you can get to understand your Lady and she's the perfect match for your person, not a perfect Lady. There is no perfect human being.

    There are different types of Ladies out there. We encounter them every day but pay little or no attention to their persons because we get carried away with their beauty, shapes, accents and worth. Sir, stop being distracted, stay focused.

    In this article, I'm going to share with us, the types of women we encounter now and then so that we can have a better understanding of whom we are dealing with at the time.

    Please, note that the level of religion your Lady operates in doesn't change or affect her personality. Men change spiritually, women don't because they are spiritually made and can operate simultaneously both spiritually and physically unlike men who are physically made.

    1.FAMILY LADY.
    This kind of woman is very emotional. She is very attached to every member of her family. You will come to identify her if she keeps on telling you about her cousins or relatives people you never met; on your date nights. They take a firm stand on political and equality issues. Pick your discussion topics very wisely.

    2.MOMMY LADY.
    You will not recognize her instantly. This kind of woman possesses motherly instincts that come out during the delicate or sensitive stages of your life. They are genuinely caring in nature. If you miss texting or calling her after reaching home, expect a minimum of Ten missed calls waiting for you. If you get a minor paper cut, she’ll appear with substantial first aid. A sneeze can end up with a thermometer in your mouth and at least three days of rest!

    3.HUSTLER.
    This kind of woman is very hard-working by nature. Her priority will always be her dreams. Don’t misjudge/doubt or condemn her if she cancels the date for any assignment/work. You may raise your expectations, but in reality, be mentally prepared to support her career decisions. You may wish to help her in any way possible, but this kind of woman prefers playing their game independently.

    4.GOSSIP LADY.
    This type of lady is Google in human skin. They usually have a record of everyone and everything including you. You may find it difficult at times when you want to have some deep, meaningful conversation, but on days when you want something to cheer up your mood, her enthusiastic voice would be enough.

    5.THE LISTENER.
    This is the favourite type for the majority of men in the world. She’ll always be there to listen to you without any judgment or interruption. She is the silent observer kind. These kinds of women are introverts or ambiverts. She takes her own time to open up to you. Once found, she’ll be your first go-to person whenever you are feeling low and just need someone to listen to you.

    6.SUPER LADY.
    These women are an upgraded version of the hustler types. They do work hard and no matter what they are going through physically, emotionally, mentally or financially they will never let you know. They are emotionally convincing. They hardly lose their calm during the emergency. They are experts in multi-tasking and hiding their emotions. If you have found someone of this kind, then you need to be very careful about your actions because no matter how strong they are, they also need someone to look after them.

    7.Ms PERFECTIONIST.
    A woman with all positive habits. Disciplined life, clean home, hygienic environment, healthy eating habits and, focused on goals. You are making the wrong choice if you are exactly opposite to her. Compatibility is going to be a significant issue. But if you are looking to improve your current lifestyle, then this kind of woman is your best choice.

    8.PANDA LADY.
    She is a cute, lazy, sloth bear who can be your great partner in crime to hang out with. Your weekends will never be the same after you have found her. Get ready for disappeared hoodies, unlimited pizza deliveries, and binge-watching during the weekends. If you are too lucky, then she will also be your video game and watching a football match partner.

    9.BOSS LADY.
    The dominating ones. The Ms. Always Right. If you are in a relationship with her, be ready to change your schedules, according to her. And of course! Never dare to end up with any kind of disagreement with her. However, if you are someone who has lost track in life, nobody is better than her to help you get back to find yourself. She may appear like the most aggressive one but stick to her till the end, and you may discover amazing facts about her that nobody else knows.

    10. DRAMA QUEEN.
    This type of lady is the one who will exaggerate the given situation. Be sure that you won’t be allowed to spend much of your time with friends or relatives. Forget about talking to other girls. Most of your time is spent in shopping malls or wiping her tears. No matter how much possessive she is for you, this action will make you adore her even more.

    11. PARTY LADY.
    This is the type of woman who can make you feel insecure if your personality is not understanding types, then she is the one. She spends most of her weekends at the disco parties. She’s the kind who will make time for you according to her mood. Be prepared for cancelled date nights. You can try to get involved in her inner circle of friends, which may take time, and you may not feel comfortable too. Anyways, stay safe.

    12. FAIRYTALE LADY.
    This is a Daydreamer Queen. For her, logical thinking is of the least priority. She’s the emotional kind who breaks down quickly. If she says Unicorns exist, just say yes. She still has a touch of innocence in her nature. Be there to take care of her, and she’ll treat you the same.

    13.DIFFICULT LADY.
    These women are ambitious and bold, adventurous and emotional, brainy and defiant, incorrigible and outlandish, determined and badass. They are about pleasing themselves as much as those around them. They don't say yes simply because it is expected of them.

    14.STRONG MINDED LADY.
    This is a courageous Lady, one who doesn't depend on anyone else. She knows who she is. She build herself and builds others up. She doesn't see showing emotion as a weakness. She follows her intuition and doesn't overthink everything. She is truly happy and knows what it takes to make her own happiness.

    15.ELEGANT LADY.
    This lady displays self-respect, class, appreciation, and etiquette. She does not allow her mood to affect her manners. She is wise to know that being an elegant lady doesn’t mean that one should be snobby or stuck up, but that one should have dignity, consideration, and moderation in one's daily actions.

    No matter which kind of woman you may come across, just respect the way they are, and you will get the same treatment. And make sure, whoever you end up with, you won’t force her to change her current self.

    Changing a Lady is indirectly creating a monster. You will not like the result. Your best bet is to leave her to herself. Accept her for who she is and find a means to manage her person. That is the only way you can have the best of her.

    Marrying a good mother to your kids is better than marrying a good wife for yourself.

    TYPES OF WOMEN. By Mr VIDAMBU Sam. So many men see a Lady, like her, love and want to marry her without trying to find out what type of Lady she is and if she's the type they want to go down the high with. Beauty doesn't make a Lady, personality does and Ladies have so amazing personalities if only you can get to understand your Lady and she's the perfect match for your person, not a perfect Lady. There is no perfect human being. There are different types of Ladies out there. We encounter them every day but pay little or no attention to their persons because we get carried away with their beauty, shapes, accents and worth. Sir, stop being distracted, stay focused. In this article, I'm going to share with us, the types of women we encounter now and then so that we can have a better understanding of whom we are dealing with at the time. Please, note that the level of religion your Lady operates in doesn't change or affect her personality. Men change spiritually, women don't because they are spiritually made and can operate simultaneously both spiritually and physically unlike men who are physically made. 1.FAMILY LADY. This kind of woman is very emotional. She is very attached to every member of her family. You will come to identify her if she keeps on telling you about her cousins or relatives people you never met; on your date nights. They take a firm stand on political and equality issues. Pick your discussion topics very wisely. 2.MOMMY LADY. You will not recognize her instantly. This kind of woman possesses motherly instincts that come out during the delicate or sensitive stages of your life. They are genuinely caring in nature. If you miss texting or calling her after reaching home, expect a minimum of Ten missed calls waiting for you. If you get a minor paper cut, she’ll appear with substantial first aid. A sneeze can end up with a thermometer in your mouth and at least three days of rest! 3.HUSTLER. This kind of woman is very hard-working by nature. Her priority will always be her dreams. Don’t misjudge/doubt or condemn her if she cancels the date for any assignment/work. You may raise your expectations, but in reality, be mentally prepared to support her career decisions. You may wish to help her in any way possible, but this kind of woman prefers playing their game independently. 4.GOSSIP LADY. This type of lady is Google in human skin. They usually have a record of everyone and everything including you. You may find it difficult at times when you want to have some deep, meaningful conversation, but on days when you want something to cheer up your mood, her enthusiastic voice would be enough. 5.THE LISTENER. This is the favourite type for the majority of men in the world. She’ll always be there to listen to you without any judgment or interruption. She is the silent observer kind. These kinds of women are introverts or ambiverts. She takes her own time to open up to you. Once found, she’ll be your first go-to person whenever you are feeling low and just need someone to listen to you. 6.SUPER LADY. These women are an upgraded version of the hustler types. They do work hard and no matter what they are going through physically, emotionally, mentally or financially they will never let you know. They are emotionally convincing. They hardly lose their calm during the emergency. They are experts in multi-tasking and hiding their emotions. If you have found someone of this kind, then you need to be very careful about your actions because no matter how strong they are, they also need someone to look after them. 7.Ms PERFECTIONIST. A woman with all positive habits. Disciplined life, clean home, hygienic environment, healthy eating habits and, focused on goals. You are making the wrong choice if you are exactly opposite to her. Compatibility is going to be a significant issue. But if you are looking to improve your current lifestyle, then this kind of woman is your best choice. 8.PANDA LADY. She is a cute, lazy, sloth bear who can be your great partner in crime to hang out with. Your weekends will never be the same after you have found her. Get ready for disappeared hoodies, unlimited pizza deliveries, and binge-watching during the weekends. If you are too lucky, then she will also be your video game and watching a football match partner. 9.BOSS LADY. The dominating ones. The Ms. Always Right. If you are in a relationship with her, be ready to change your schedules, according to her. And of course! Never dare to end up with any kind of disagreement with her. However, if you are someone who has lost track in life, nobody is better than her to help you get back to find yourself. She may appear like the most aggressive one but stick to her till the end, and you may discover amazing facts about her that nobody else knows. 10. DRAMA QUEEN.

Most of your time is spent in shopping malls or wiping her tears. No matter how much possessive she is for you, this action will make you adore her even more. 11. PARTY LADY.

  • Suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Slams N5.1 Billion Defamation Suit Against Senator Nwaebonyi

    Suspended Senator Natasha Hadiza Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents the Kogi Central Senatorial District in Kogi State, has filed a N5.1 billion defamation lawsuit against Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi.

    The lawsuit, marked Suit No: CV/1359/25, was filed at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja Judicial Division, through her legal team led by Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Michael Jonathan Numa. In the filing, Akpoti-Uduaghan alleges that Senator Nwaebonyi made defamatory remarks against her during a live appearance on Channels Television's *Sunrise Daily* on March 6, 2025. According to her, Nwaebonyi falsely referred to her as a “gold digger,” “habitual liar,” and “habitual blackmailer.”

    She contends that the statements were “false, malicious, defamatory, and actionable per se,” and that they have caused significant reputational damage and emotional distress.

    The suspended senator further claims the defamatory remarks lowered her image before the public, leading to embarrassment and reputational harm.

    Filed by Writ of Summons under Order 2 Rule 2 of the FCT High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules 2025, the suit was officially submitted on April 7, 2025.

    Among the reliefs sought, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan is asking the court to declare that the statements made by Nwaebonyi do not constitute a lawful exercise of freedom of speech. She is demanding multiple declarations, injunctions, and monetary compensation, including:

    - A declaration that the statements made during the March 6, 2025, *Sunrise Daily* interview — describing her as a “gold digger,” “habitual liar,” and “habitual blackmailer” — are false, malicious, and defamatory, having caused harm to her reputation.

    - A declaration that additional remarks made during a March 3, 2025, interview on Arise News TV, in which Nwaebonyi allegedly said she was “a mother of six from different men,” are also defamatory, malicious, and injurious to her character and public image.

    - A declaration concerning statements made in a YouTube video — [link](https://youtu.be/fzo4O6zhMPM?si=Nhl9-2pVYIzU22) — where Nwaebonyi allegedly said: “This woman is spoiling game for women who want to enter politics. Are you the only woman in Nigeria, Senator Natasha!? What is wrong with you?”

    - A further declaration regarding another video — [News Central TV report](https://youtu.be/nXaok-O5ni8?si=guLUAR-IIFOQRh) — published on March 27, 2025, in which Nwaebonyi allegedly claimed that Akpoti-Uduaghan blackmailed her current husband into marrying her under duress and accused her of falsely alleging sexual harassment against Reno Omokri during the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

    She claims these publications were “false, malicious, unjustified, injurious, scornful, distasteful, and unsavory,” exposing her to ridicule both nationally and internationally.

    The senator is seeking:

    - A perpetual injunction restraining Nwaebonyi and his affiliates from making further defamatory remarks.
    - A court order compelling Nwaebonyi to retract his statements and publish an unreserved apology in at least two national newspapers and on all platforms where the defamatory remarks were made.
    - N5 billion in aggravated and exemplary damages.
    - Post-judgment interest on the awarded sum at 10% per annum until fully paid.
    - An additional N100 million as the cost of legal action.

    She is also asking the court to grant any further orders it deems appropriate.

  • Like Yahoo Boys, Nigerian leaders, lawmakers, judges contribute to country’s bad global image: Jonathan
    Mr Jonathan said the actions of all arms of government contribute to the value of Nigeria’s passport.

    Mr Jonathan made this statement at the annual colloquium organised by the Haske Satumari Foundation in Abuja on Saturday, where he spoke on “Promoting social change and development through diversity, equity and inclusion.”

    The former president accused the executive, legislature and judiciary of the lingering crisis in Rivers State, saying, “I always plead with our people that whatever we do affects everybody, and sometimes we do things, and we think that it doesn’t affect us.”

    Mr Jonathan said the actions of all arms of government contribute to the value of Nigeria’s passport and the kind of treatment citizens get outside the country.

    “Why is it that our passport is not valued that much? Why is it that Nigerians are not given the kind of treatment we’re supposed to receive at international airports?” Mr Jonathan queried.
    “Sometimes, we think it’s because of ‘Yahoo Boys’ or 419. Not only them; yes, they are part of the problem,” the politician said. “But whatever happens in the country, decisions that are taken by the executive arm of government, decisions that are taken by the parliament and judicial decisions affect everybody.”

    Mr Jonathan further said, “For example, no businessman can bring his money to invest in a country where the judiciary is compromised, where government functionaries can dictate to judges what judgment they will give.
    “No man brings his money to invest in that economy because we are taking a big risk. So whatever we do affects everybody, and if we want to build a nation where children and grandchildren will live, no matter how painful it is, we must strive to do what is right.”
    Mr Jonathan’s statement comes amid lingering reputational damage from President Bola Tinubu’s sordid antecedent and sexual harassment allegation against Senate President Godswill Akpabio by Kogi lawmaker Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who have continued to speak on international news platforms about her ordeal.

    In January, Peoples Gazette reported how Mr Tinubu has hired lobbyists in the United States to help convince lawmakers and policymakers that he carries acceptable personal probity to lead Nigeria after suffering a reputational hit that followed reports of his involvement in illicit drug peddling and certificate fraud.
