How Foreign Bankers Lure Rich Nigerians to Early Graves

Published

A rather worrying report by the Leadership Newspaper has revealed how most Nigerian elite who patronise European banks are in danger of early death because of the manipulations of their bankers who introduce them to ‘doctors’ death’.

According to Leadership, not a few of the elite in Africa and Nigeria in particular, are carriers of one killer disease or the other, especially cancer through the patronage of select doctors who are introduced to them by these banks.

According to a highly placed Nigerian, who craved anonymity, the antics of some of these notorious and selfish bankers in Europe, is to persuade “our rich and wealthy people to their early graves unknowingly”.

“Most of our elite across board who keep their money abroad are unaware of the danger they are exposing themselves to. The primary reason for doing this is to keep away their wealth and riches from their country but these bankers have no love for them. What those banks are found of doing is discouraging their customers from Africa, especially, Nigeria, in patronising the hospitals in their fatherland on the pretext of introducing them to the ‘best hospitals around’; they would tell them that as a result of their patronage, they were entitled to the best medical check-up at their own expense as this was their way of appreciating the customer. They will be persistent and consistent until their victims accepted.

“Once the customer accepts, he would be introduced to those hospitals that are on their payroll and such patient would be discouraged in allowing any other doctor to assess them for whatever reason. He would be asked to visit them whenever the need arises.

“It is in this process that one of those killer diseases will be injected into his or her system which may take months or even years to manifest. Even when the disease is detected, they are the ones the victim will run to and in the event that the patient goes elsewhere, they might not be able to diagnose the main problem until it is too late.”

Speaking further, the source who is a top security officer, advised those who have not joined the league to stop the idea because “it is an invitation to an early grave”.

According to him, “The only reason why most wealthy Nigerians are engaging in what is now referred to as ‘medical tourism’ is to cover up the disease they are nursing and to abide by the rules and regulation given to them by their European doctors who lure them to early graves unknowingly.”

When asked of the intention of those banks and hospitals that practice such deadly game, he explained that it was for selfish reasons.

“You may not understand, what they are doing is to kill their choice customers and keep the money in their custody and they share this ill-gotten wealth between themselves and their medical collaborators.”

The source went further to explain another new trick the banks have just introduced to keep these funds in their custody, “those notorious banks have different ways of snatching our money from those who keep it with them. There is a particular banking system which can only be accessed through the customer’s voice in order to transfer money from their account to another. What you just need to do is to answer calls from your bank to confirm and that is all but the danger is once you are dead, there is no one who can operate it because you have gone with your voice.”

The source, who has spent most of his career abroad, urged the elite in Africa and Nigeria in particular to stop patronising banks in Europe in order to save their lives. They should rather invest their money in the continent, taking a cue from the good work Dangote is doing all over as regards job creation.

CBN, EFCC Probe Banks, Firms over Alleged Forex Racketeering

Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), is investigating irregular foreign exchange transactions and forward contracts valued at approximately $2.4 billion.

CBN, EFCC Probe Banks, Firms over Alleged Forex Racketeering

The  inquiry follows an extensive audit by Deloitte, which scrutinized $7 billion in dollar debts accumulated under the bank’s previous leadership.

In the aftermath of the 294th Monetary Policy Committee meeting in Abuja, Yemi Cardoso, governor of CBN,  disclosed to journalists that the investigation, supported by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, among other security bodies, aims to clarify the legitimacy of these FX allocations identified as problematic by the audit.

“It was determined that a number of these transactions did not qualify…they were outright illegal. The law enforcement agencies are now looking into those transactions that as far as we are concerned, are not valid to be paid,” Cardoso detailed, emphasizing the unlawful nature of these forex deals.

The crux of the investigation lies in the audit findings that a significant portion of the scrutinized transactions lacked proper documentation and, in many instances, were deemed outright illegal.

However, the unfolding investigation has raised concerns within the organized private sector, with some entities contemplating legal action against commercial banks for unresolved forex bids.

Despite these tensions, Governor Cardoso reassures that the foreign exchange market remains open and transparent, inviting stakeholders to address their forex needs through the official channels.

Furthermore, Cardoso clarified the distribution of fertilizers to farmers as a one-off measure and not indicative of a shift back to direct interventions by the CBN, underscoring a commitment to strategic, regulatory governance rather than direct market involvement.

Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has directed deposit money banks in the country to expedite action to increase their capital base from the current ₦25bn.

CBN Urges Banks to Expedite Action on Recapitalisation

Olayemi Cardoso, governor of CBN

Olayemi Cardoso, governor of CBN, stated this during the apex bank’s 294th meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) on Tuesday in Abuja, when the MPC hiked the interest rate by 22.75% to 24.75%.

The apex bank chief said the MPC examined developments in the banking sector and expressed satisfaction that the industry remained stable. The committee, however, said to guard against risk, commercial banks in the country should accelerate their recapitalisation efforts.

Cardoso said, “The MPC also reviewed developments in the banking system and noted that the industry remains safe, sound, and stable. The committee thus called on the bank to sustain its surveillance and ensure compliance of banks with existing regulatory and macro-potential guidelines.

“The MPC also enjoined the banks to expedite actions on the recapitalisation of banks to strengthen the system against potential risks in an increasingly globalised world.”
