The two brothers and confident Simba poses no risk to their safety Drivers get a roarful shock when they see Simba the lion sitting in the backseat of this car. But owners Hamzah and Hassan Hussain insist he’s a pussycat and treat him like a brother. The siblings have been rearing 26-month-old Simba since he was abandoned by his mum at two weeks on their farm in Karachi, Pakistan. Hassan said:   “He just loves cuddles.” The lion was born on our farm and his mother couldn’t feed him the milk so I brought him into our home.” “Ever since we have been raising him like our brother.” “I named him Simba and he is a very tame lion. And now he’s 26 months old.” “He’s like my baby, so that’s why I’m not afraid with him. You can see that I can put my hands in his mouth.” Source:  The Sun UK

By Femi Fani-Kayode Every Nigerian has the legitimate and constitutional right to protest and demonstrate peacefully in a democracy. It is NOT an act of treason to march against the President and to protest about the insecurity in the country. The publisher of SaharaReporters and a presidential candidate in the just- concluded presidential elections, Mr. Omoyele Sowore, expressed his desire to demonstrate peacefully against you  (President Muhammadu Buhari) and your Government.  He chose to call his protest a "revolution" in order to emphasise his zeal and the importance of the event.  He has no arms, he has not threatened to conduct an armed struggle or engage in an armed insurrection or to kill anyone so this can only be a "revolution" in name and by words.  Yet ...

Nigeria’s largest mobile operator is about to become a bank By Yomi Kazeem August 1, 2019 The fledgling mobile money market in Nigeria is about to get a major shake-up. MTN Nigeria, the country’s largest telecoms operator, has been granted a “super agent” license which allows it set up an agent network through which it can provide financial services. It’s the first step in MTN’s plans to finally roll out mobile money services in Africa’s largest economy as the company says it has also applied for a payment service bank license, which will allow it “offer a broader and deeper range of financial services.” The license comes after reforms by Nigeria’s central bank last October permitting telecoms operators to get mobile money and banking licenses in a bid to boost financial inclusion and facilitate the long-held ambition for a cashless society. As already seen in several African countries, the real-life application of mobile money among unbanked populations ranges from quick...
