#CODED-ish News: HERITAGE BANK CEO CONFIDENT OF RELIABLE SERVICE IN 2017

After battling with a very challenging 2016 which was characterized by false media reports of a possible illiquidity, the bank MD/CEO, Mr Ifie Sekibo yesterday assured it's loyal customers of a wonderful customer service this year.

Speaking to ThisDay in Lagos, the MD/CEO assured all customers of the bank, of the safety of their funds, assuring them that the young and vibrant financial institution would never compromise on its quality services at any given time.

While clarifying on the financial state of the bank, he said that the initial take-off of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) generally affected the liquidity level of the banking industry and was eventually controlled by the individual banks in operation. This he said cannot be termed illiquidity

He reiterated the bank's financial strength and the strong shareholder's capital base it has in stock to sustain it's operations as a financial institution.

He protested and condemned the negative media reports, particularly the social media, that had initially given the impression the bank was challenged.

#CODED-ish News: HERITAGE BANK DEMONSTRATES COMMITMENT TO AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA

Heritage Bank Limited has once again collaborated with the Central Bank of Nigeria to provide a N2bn long-term facility to Triton Aqua Africa Limited (TAAL) under the Commercial Agricultural Credit Scheme (CACS).

The move was part of efforts to support and boost the real sector and unlock food and wealth creating potentials in the nation’s agriculture sector.

TAAL, also known as Triton Farm, accessed the CACS through the support of Heritage Bank to set up aquaculture businesses- nursery/hatchery for the production of fingerlings and brood stock in Ikeja; and earthen ponds for catfish and tilapia in Asejire, Iwo and Gambari towns in Oyo State.

The company said its strategy is to embrace backward integration through production of fish locally and reduce its importation of frozen fish, as well as assist small scale farms by producing quality breed fingerlings.

The Chairman, Triton Group, Ashvin Samtani, said the farm was fully integrated in aquaculture, poultry and crop production and is a platform to create employment for teeming youth.

Heritage Bank group head of agriculture finance, Olugbenga Awe, stated that the partnership between the bank and Triton Farm local production will conserve scarce foreign exchange and enhance food security.

Awe stressed that Heritage Bank’s support for small-scale enterprises is well known and most of these SMEs play in the agriculture sector.

According to him, the bank sees agriculture as one of its heritage that can empower individuals and communities in terms of creating wealth from the soil and through the entire value –chain using value addition and industrialisation.

“We are also focused on small holder farmers as we currently support thousands of farmers in Kaduna and Zamfara states in rice and soybeans production under the Anchor Borrowers Programme, he added."

The Minister of State for Agriculture, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, during a tour of Triton Farms, commended the company, stating that the CBN and Heritage Banks’ financial support to the company’s achievement is very fundamental as investment in food security is probably the most profitable venture anyone could think of.

#CODED-ish News: WHY MMM WILL BE BACK IN 2017

Alternative to general opinion that the popular online financial community known as MMM has crashed, I am of the opinion that the community is even stronger and getting ready to make her members her participate again after the ongoing upgrade of her operations are completed.

Here's my simple analysis that suggests the scheme will be back in 2017. These views are singularly mine and mine alone.

After carefully reading the first news posted in the personal offices of participants, I observed the strength and power of information misinterpretation. From what was disseminated, it was clear that frozen Mavros (as the community's currency is called) were only extended to 30days as against 14days; which was the usual norm.

These few analytically thought about reason(s) would suggest that MMM hasn't crashed as against general "Opinion"

1. The Ongoing MMM Guiders school 3days ago, continued it's normal activities of training ordinary participants to become Managers/Guiders whose sole responsibility is to maintain the smooth running of participant's activities. Now if MMM has crashed, there wouldn't have been a continuation if this career driven aspect of MMM

2. The continuous crediting of Mavros (MMM online currency) every Tuesdays and Thursdays hasn't stopped as the system's operations are still fully active as before. Therefore, if MMM had crashed, there wouldn't be any infrastructure to support this particular common activity.

3. The promise kept from antecedents. I'm referring to the news about MMM Zimbabwe that was reported to have crashed because it was put on pause mode, so as to RE-STRATEGISE on how to make the community sustainable over a long period. MMM kept her promise to the community in Zimbabwe and now you can attest to the fact that it came back STRONGER and better. I guess you haven't heard of any sour news from that country.

4. The dedication of top guiders in the community, who have been working relentlessly with the Russian programmers to fashion out ways to make the community better at handling participant's issues. It's obviously a normal practice in any organization to create room and time for maintenance and upgrades which could result in a necessary temporary suspension of general activities for a while.

5. The miracle MMM caused in the lives of participants, that made almost every Nigerian take charge of his/her destiny for the first time; and also helped to curb the menace caused by unintentional idleness.

It is important at this juncture to arguably emphasise that because of MMM, the Nigerian state was rescued from a ticking time bomb that was inevitably bound to explode in a shortest possible time.

Also, just to add that President Buhari would thank Sergey Mavrodi in silence for the role he played in cushioning the heightening tension, as a result of a dummy economy.

Since kept promises are MMM's strong areas. Expect a beautiful 2017 with undeniable beautiful prospects.

#NEWS: Four-Year-Old Becomes Dumb After Raped By Father

Four-year-old Rebecca (not real name) was a normal baby when she was born. She was bubbling with life, but following several sexual assaults on her by her 37-year-old father, identified as Ademola, little Rebecca has lost her voice. She has not been able to talk for the past few weeks.

She looked forlornly and occasionally fell asleep in the arms of her mother, Folake, 32, who was visibly distressed as she explained to Saturday PUNCH how her husband of 14 years had been molesting their daughter.

Blessed with four children; three girls, including a set of twins, and a boy, she reminisced about how they used to live as one (happy) family in the Igando area of Lagos before things took a grim turn and she caught her husband committing one of the most gruesome crimes against their second daughter – sexual assault.

She noted that apart from having sexual intercourse with the little girl on several occasions, she had caught her husband inserting his finger into her private part more than once, all of which had traumatised Rebecca and made her a shadow of her real self.

The unfortunate incident seems to be tearing the family further apart as she has not only moved out of the house; she has vowed never to return, whilst accusing her husband of being diabolical.

GIST: IDENTICAL TWINS GET SAME MARK IN EXAM – In Same Course At Same University

Identical twins Anuja and Shailja Chalishazar wowed their family by getting exactly the same A-level grades in exactly the same subjects. And now 12 months later they have achieved exactly the same mark in their end of year exams.

“We still can’t get over it,” said Shailja. “Even our parents couldn’t believe it.”

The 19-year-olds are studying medicine at Cardiff University after achieving A*s in biology and maths and As in chemistry.

They each applied to five universities and said it was “a huge coincidence” that they were both accepted to CardiffThey were called for interview on the same day and received their offers at the same time, after helping each other prepare for interviews.

There are 300 people in their year group at university, but they have ended up in the same seminar group of 10 students.

“It’s nice being together,” Shailja tells UK Mirror “We walk to lectures together and we revise together – that might be why we get the same marks.”People do get us mixed up. I think half of the university has realised we’re twins and the other half hasn’t.”

“Sometimes people come up to me thinking I’m Anuja and vice versa. Sometimes we play along.
“I’ve had someone say to me: ‘You’re twins? I didn’t realise!’ Even our friends get us mixed up.”
