    NDIC affirms full compliance with FRA, statutory remittances

    The Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) has declared that it has consistently complied with all fiscal and financial regulations over the years, including the provisions of the Fiscal Responsibility Act 2007, by remitting the required proportion of its earnings to the Federal Government and meeting all statutory reporting timelines.

    The Managing Director and Chief Executive of the Corporation (MD/CEO), Oludare Sunday, asserted unequivocally that the Corporation regularly remits either 20 per cent of its gross earnings or 80 per cent of its net surplus to the Federal Government, in strict compliance with statutory requirements. 

    Sunday who asserted during a courtesy visit to the MD/CEO of the Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MoFI), Dr Armstrong Takang, as part of NDIC’s post assumption stakeholder engagement following his appointment in July 2025, further emphasized that NDIC consistently submits its audited financial statements ahead of statutory deadlines.

    Sunday said NDIC’s operational philosophy has always been anchored on accountability, noting that its long-standing culture of financial discipline, transparency and strict adherence to statutory obligations underpins its mandate to protect depositors and strengthen confidence in Nigeria’s banking system.

    According to him, the consistent compliance is central to NDIC’s role as a core institution within Nigeria’s financial safety-net architecture, charged with safeguarding depositors’ funds and promoting stability across the banking system.

    He stressed that fiscal discipline remains fundamental to the credibility and effectiveness of the Corporation, especially at a time when public confidence in financial institutions is critical to economic stability.

    Sunday also disclosed that NDIC complies with the Federal Government’s 50 percent cost-to-income ratio policy, although he noted that the requirement poses operational challenges for the Corporation.

    He explained that the deductions resulting from the policy constrain NDIC’s capacity to grow a robust Deposit Insurance Fund, which is essential for timely and effective reimbursement of depositors in the event of bank failures.

    According to him, global best practices, as outlined in the Core Principles for Effective Deposit Insurance issued by the International Association of Deposit Insurers, require deposit insurers to maintain adequate independent funds to meet their obligations without recourse to government intervention.

    He said NDIC is therefore seeking an exemption from the policy to strengthen its financial resilience and depositor protection capacity.

    The NDIC chief described MoFI as a critical stakeholder, noting that the Federal Government, through MoFI, holds a 40 per cent equity stake in the Corporation. 

    He said sustained collaboration with MoFI is essential to balancing NDIC’s obligations to the government with its statutory responsibility to depositors.

    In his remarks, Takang commended NDIC for its cooperative approach and acknowledged the Corporation’s compliance with fiscal regulations. 

    He assured that MoFI would continue to engage the Federal Ministry of Finance on NDIC’s behalf, adding that a strong and well-funded NDIC is vital to maintaining confidence in Nigeria’s financial system.

  • Ex-Daar Communications boss petitions IGP over alleged abduction, assault in Benin

    Ex-Daar Communications boss petitions IGP over alleged abduction, assault in Benin

    A former Managing Director of Daar Communications, Dr Pedro Obaseki, has petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, over what he described as his unlawful abduction, brutal assault, public humiliation and unlawful detention in Benin City, the Edo State capital.

    Obaseki, who is a cousin of former Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, alleged that he was beaten, stripped naked and paraded through the streets of Benin City by suspected thugs who branded him an Oghionba, meaning an enemy of the Oba.

    In the petition addressed to the IGP, Obaseki stated that the incident occurred at about 11:30am last Sunday while he was playing football at Uwa Primary School, Igbesanmwan Street, when a group of men, some of them armed, attacked and forcibly abducted him.

    He identified the alleged leaders of the group as Kapuepue Adun, Osayande Obakhavbaye, Osamede Nomoless Eriyo and Osamiefan, also known as Sales Guy.

    The former Daar Communications boss further claimed that his abductors repeatedly told him they were acting on the instructions of the Oba’s Palace.

    According to him, he was beaten, stripped naked, dragged publicly across major roads in Benin City, including in front of Holy Aruosa Church, paraded for about five kilometres and forcibly taken to the Oba’s Palace, where the alleged abuse continued.

    “Thereafter, I was transported to the Oba Market Police Station, where I was detained for about five hours. During this period, the Commissioner of Police, Monday Agbonika, informed me that my release was subject to clearance from the Oba.”

    He said the actions constituted grave violations of his constitutional rights under the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), the Police Act and professional standards and Nigeria’s obligations under international human rights instruments.

    Among the demands he made were an independent investigation into the conduct of all persons involved, determination of the role of law enforcement officers and ppropriate disciplinary, criminal, and civil actions where violations were established.

  • Rivers: We‘ll correct leadership mistake in 2027 – Wike

    Rivers: We‘ll correct leadership mistake in 2027 – Wike

    Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, says the ‘leadership mistake’ in Rivers will be corrected in 2027.

    Wike stated this during a ‘thank you’ visit to the people of Khana in Bori, Khana Local Government Area of Rivers.

    According to him, leaders are elected to represent the will of the people, and not for personal agenda.

    “We will not make the same mistake again at the state level in 2027, but we will talk about it later when the time comes.

    “Just follow your leaders. Anywhere you see them going, that is where we are going,” he said.

    He stated that he was not in the community for politics but to thank the people for standing with him and President Bola Tinubu.

    Wike noted that the people of Khana took a risk and supported Tinubu in 2023 when others were afraid to do so.

    “During the turbulent period, Khana stood with us and now you have benefitted, from good roads to university of environment, among others, because of the love of Mr President.

    “So many appointments have come to Ogoniland and more are still coming,” he said.

    The minister pointed out that the Rivers people would no longer vote based on party, but based on ‘family’ for the development of the state under Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’.

    Earlier, Rep. Dumnamene Dekor (APC – Khana) commended Wike and Tinubu for making Ogoniland the pride of the nation.

    Dekor thanked the former governor for visiting communities in Rivers, stressing that people were ready to do what he asked and go where he wanted them to go.

    “We are proud to be associated with you, and whatever you asked us to do, we shall do and wherever you asked us to go, we shall go,” he said.

    He assured Wike that the lawmakers from Rivers had surrendered their mandate to Tinubu.

    Also, Mrs Barile Nwakoh (APC Khana I State Constituency), who spoke on behalf of women in the area, thanked Wike for remembering the people of Khana.

    Nwakoh said that the minister was receiving enormous support in Rivers because of his goodwill, sincerity and love for the people.

    She said that the women of Khana were ready to vote for Tinubu if he decided to contest for second tenure.

    *We are ready to work for Tinubu. Please tell Mr President that we are here for him and ready to work for his re-election,” she said.

    Similarly, Chairman of Khana Local Council, Dr Thomas Bariere, commended Wike for being there for the people of the area, adding that when the right people occupied offices, good things happen.

    “Since our support for President Tinubu, things have become better for the people of Khana.

    “You have supported everything good for the people of Khana and we are very grateful for this,” Bariere said.

    He assured Wike of the continued support of the people of the council area.

  • Police arrest 14 suspected traffic robbers on Lekki–Epe expressway

    Police arrest 14 suspected traffic robbers on Lekki–Epe expressway

    The Lagos State Police Command has arrested 14 suspected traffic robbers along the Lekki–Epe Expressway over the past two weeks, following increasing complaints from motorists about the theft of vehicle parts during traffic congestion.

    The arrests were carried out by operatives of the Tactical Squad, Elemoro, at different locations along the busy corridor.

    The command’s spokesperson, CSP Abimbola Adebisi, disclosed this in a statement posted on X on Tuesday.

    “Fourteen suspected traffic robbers have been arrested by the Tactical Squad, Elemoro, within the last two weeks at different locations along the Lekki–Epe Expressway,” Adebisi said.

    She described the operation as “a clear demonstration of the Command’s commitment to improving security and protecting road users along the corridor,” while urging residents to remain vigilant.

    “See something, say something,” she added.

    The arrests come amid heightened public concern over traffic-related robberies in the Lekki area, particularly the theft of car parts while vehicles are stuck in congestion

    Recently, tech influencer Fisayo Fosudo raised an alarm on social media, lamenting repeated attacks on his vehicle while stuck in traffic.

     In a post on X, he said parts of his car had been stolen multiple times, with the most recent incident involving the removal of his windshield cover.

    His complaint triggered reactions from other motorists, many of whom shared similar experiences. One user, identified as #fimiletoks, warned that certain vehicle models are frequently targeted by criminals operating along the expressway.

    According to him, “If you drive the RX 350 2017 – 2022 model, you are a target at night on Lekki – Epe. You will replace the side mirrors and that black cover behind the mirrors every other month. One mirror costs over 100k, and it’s in high demand. They disguise themselves as beggars or hawkers.”

    PDP leadership crisis can be resolved in one week — Gbenga Hashim tells Tanimu Turaki

    …urges NEC to rise above factional interests to save Nigeria’s democracy

    A former presidential candidate and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has said the lingering leadership crisis rocking the party can be resolved within one week if its leadership embraces political solutions rather than prolonged legal battles.

    Hashim made this assertion during a meeting with the PDP national chairman, Ambassador Tanimu Turaki (SAN), as part of ongoing consultations aimed at achieving an out-of-court resolution to the party’s internal dispute.

    The former presidential hopeful, who was also among the conveners of the PDP in 1998 and its first elected deputy national publicity secretary, said resolving the crisis politically would better serve the survival of the party and the health of Nigeria’s multiparty democracy.

    According to him, the party already possesses the constitutional authority required to resolve the impasse without resorting to litigation.

    “There are more than enough legitimate members of the National Executive Committee (NEC) to convene a meeting and resolve this crisis within one week,” Hashim stated.

    He cited Sections 3(1) and 3(4) of the PDP Constitution, which empower two-thirds of NEC members to convene a meeting, stressing that the majority of NEC members were elected before the disputed Ibadan convention and therefore retain unquestionable legitimacy.

    Hashim further explained that although the tenure of some members of the National Working Committee (NWC) expired on December 8, the pre-Ibadan NEC members remain constitutionally empowered to intervene and take corrective action in the interest of the party.

    “What is required now is courage and responsibility,” he said.

    “NEC members must rise above factional interests and stand for posterity, for the party, and for the nation.”

    He warned that continued internal paralysis could weaken the PDP’s capacity as a credible opposition party and ultimately undermine Nigeria’s democratic balance.

    “We can fix this problem, and we should,” he added.

    Responding, the PDP National Chairman, Ambassador Tanimu Turaki (SAN), thanked Dr. Hashim for the visit and his commitment to party unity. He assured that the leadership under his watch remains open to reconciliation, stressing, however, that such efforts must not compromise the unity, stability, and continued existence of the party.

    The meeting, which was held at Turaki’s Asokoro residence in Abuja, was also attended by the Deputy National Chairman and the National Youth Leader of the party.

    How We Picked the Best Crypto Casino Bonus Sites

    This is a glimpse into the methodology we used to determine our top selections for the best crypto casino bonus sites.

    Cryptocurrencies Available

    Crypto is rapidly becoming the payment method of choice preferred by both customers and many online gambling sites due to its payout speed and built-in blockchain security features.

    We looked for casinos with a wide variety of crypto types available, from common fare like BTC, LTC, and ETH, to more exotic types of coins for the more crypto-sophisticated.

    Specific Crypto Bonuses

    Bonuses and promotions are popular features of all gambling sites, and it’s no different on crypto sites. All our top picks offered options like a crypto casino welcome bonus, a crypto casino no deposit bonus, a crypto reload bonus, loyalty reward points, VIP rewards and more to help maintain customer participation.

    Game Variety

    All our featured sites furnish a large selection of games. In some cases these total in the thousands and encompass slots, classic table games like roulette, baccarat, and blackjack, all types of poker, live dealer games, sports betting, bingo, lotteries, and more.

    User Experience

    The major determinant of the casino user’s experience is ease of use when it comes to playing the games. For many, this means having access to a free, downloadable mobile app that can simulate or even surpass the desktop experience of the site.

    All our picks have mobile-optimized platforms or apps for a smooth user interface that allows for a full iGaming experience from anywhere at any time.

    Customer Support

    Another customer concern is what help is available when something goes wrong? Site FAQs often don’t have what you need, email takes way too long to get a response, and chat bots are rarely helpful without having to defer to a live rep.

    All our top picks provide actual human help 24/7 via live customer support chat. We used a similar ranking methodology in this new online casino review.

    What Is a Crypto Casino Bonus Site?

    The best crypto casino bonus site is one that offers multiple fast and secure cryptocurrency deposit and withdrawal methods at low or no fees, maximum privacy, and attractive customer bonuses.

    Some of the most popular crypto casino bonus promos we looked for are a crypto casino sign up bonus, cashback offers, a crypto casino no deposit bonus, crypto casino bonus codes, free spins, and more.

    Another feature of a crypto casino bonus site is lower required deposit limits (in some cases as low as $20) along with significantly higher withdrawal rates (some as high as $500,000 BTC).

    Crypto Casino Welcome Bonuses: Benefits & Drawbacks

    Below is a brief list of the pros and cons users may experience when it comes to the best crypto casino apps that pay real money.

    Best Crypto Casino No Deposit Bonus: FAQs

    These are some questions that readers online have been asking about the best crypto casino no deposit bonus sites.

    How Do Crypto Casino Bonuses Work?

    Rather than focus on wagering requirements to keep you from gaining too quickly on a bonus, crypto sites usually focus on straight-up high percentage deposit matches up to a certain amount. They also lean toward cashback percentages to keep you playing, and VIP rewards points programs based on regular play.

    Do U.S. Crypto Casinos Offer No Deposit Bonuses?

    Yes, there is such a thing as a no deposit bonus crypto and Bitcoin casino in the U.S. This means you receive a small amount of betting credits or free spins when you register. While usually small in value, if you meet the wagering requirements and provide basic identity registration, you can actually walk away with some free winnings.

    Can U.S. Players Withdraw Crypto Casino Bonus Winnings?

    Yes, U.S. players can withdraw crypto casino bonus winnings. It is the cash value of the bonus itself you can’t withdraw, since the bonus is merely credit you’ve been allowed to play with. Only the winnings that have been the result of playing your bonus credit can be withdrawn.

    What Cryptocurrencies Are Accepted At U.S. Crypto Casinos?

    Many types of crypto are accepted at U.S. crypto casinos, however the most commonly accepted are Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and USDT or Tether.

    Do Crypto Casino Bonuses Have Wagering Requirements?

    Yes, just about all casino bonuses, whether crypto or fiat currency, have wagering requirements attached. These are requirements that must be fulfilled, like placing a prescribed amount of bets of a specific minimum amount, to be able to cash in the full value of the winnings you’ve earned using casino credit.

    Are Crypto Casino Bonuses Better Than Regular Casino Bonuses?

    Not essentially. Both crypto and fiat casinos offer pretty much the same types of bonuses such as welcome bonuses, cashback bonuses, match bonuses, and reloads. Where a crypto bonus differs is when it is exclusively a crypto only bonus.

    A crypto only bonus is to encourage crypto users to play because the fees on crypto transactions are much lower than fiat money so the player will get more value from that type of bonus.

    Why Is Ignition the Best Crypto Casino Bonus Site?

    These are some of the reasons why we chose Ignition as our top pick for the top crypto casino bonus site.

    Tips for Playing at a Top Crypto Casino Bonus Site

    Now for some last tips to help you get the most out of whichever top crypto casino bonus site you choose to play on.

    Study the Fine Print

    Even though all of our top choices are reputable, licensed casinos, you would still be wise to peruse the background information for any bonus you choose, as well as the general Terms & Conditions for the site.

    The bonuses often sound great, but you don’t want to be surprised when you try to cash out and discover there are catches you weren’t aware of, like rollover or playthrough requirements.

    Fair Gaming

    To make sure that you’re playing provably random and fair RNG gaming machines, check to see that the site you’re thinking of selecting has engaged an independent, third-party test organization to audit their games.

    Set Up 2FA ID

    The security and privacy that crypto blockchain technology provides is currently the best available. However, there is a human element involved as well.

    Setting up the optional 2FA ID option offered by our top sites can give you that extra security necessary to protect the transferral of your funds in case anything should go wrong.

    Playing at the Crypto Casino Bonus Sites

    Some folks will try a new thing just because it is new. Others need an incentive. When it comes to crypto, hopefully the crypto casino bonus sites we’ve covered, like Ignition, have offered enough to get you to come out of your shell and try out what looks to be the future of online gaming.

    With its added security, much faster withdrawal times, and overall convenience, crypto would seem to have a lot going for it. Are you willing to take the gamble? After all, if you’d challenge a dealer to 21 in blackjack, why not?

    How We Picked & Rated the Top Ethereum Gambling Sites

    Below are key factors we considered when selecting the top Ethereum gambling sites.

    Cryptocurrencies Available

    While we believe that ETH is the heir apparent to overtake Bitcoin as being synonymous with crypto, our search for the top Ethereum gambling casino wasn’t limited to just ETH availability. We also looked for gambling sites that offer a wide selection of cryptocurrencies, from well-known ones like BTC and LTC to more exotic, lesser-known altcoins.

    Withdrawal Speed

    The main attraction of crypto for online gamers is its faster payout times compared to traditional currencies. All of our top selections guarantee crypto withdrawals in 1-24 hours, with some sites claiming average payout times of 10 minutes or less.

    Game Variety

    What’s an Ethereum gambling site (or any gambling site) without a large game selection encompassing all the games people like to play? Our top picks all have large game libraries, with some offering as many as 8-10,000 selections of slots, table games, live casino games, raffles, and more.

    Bonus Offers

    To attract crypto users, top Ethereum gambling sites often offer special bonuses and promotions that encourage customers to purchase and spend cryptocurrency. Welcome bonuses, cashback offers, no-deposit bonuses, and more are popular player rewards we looked for to confirm that the sites we selected are crypto-friendly, and specifically, Ethereum-friendly.

    User Experience

    Most online casino gamblers access their favorite sites on their phones. As a result, we looked for sites that offered free-to-download mobile apps with a sophisticated user interface, strong graphics, and most, if not all, of their games available in the app.

    Customer Support

    One of the most important (and unsung) features of online business is live customer support. Even for the technically adept, things can go wrong online, and it is important to have experts available 24/7 to walk customers through their difficulties. All of our top sites offer live support via online chat around the clock to resolve issues ranging from a bad connection to a malfunctioning game or payment issue.

    What Is An Ethereum Gambling Site?

    Ethereum gambling sites prominently feature cryptocurrency payment options, including Ethereum and other popular options such as Bitcoin, for those who like Bitcoin gambling platforms, and Litecoin. Ethereum gambling sites also offer bonuses and promotions tailored to crypto users, with better perks for paying with cryptocurrency.

    The most important feature distinguishing an Ethereum Gambling site is its faster withdrawal times compared to traditional fiat casinos. Where bureaucratic procedures by banks and KYC practices by casinos can invade your privacy and lengthen withdrawal times using traditional currencies to as long as a week, an Ethereum gambling site can deliver payouts in as fast as 5 minutes.

    Benefits & Drawbacks of Ethereum Gambling

    Below is a brief table outlining the key positives and negatives of using an Ethereum gambling site.

    Significantly faster withdrawal timesMust be extra careful as payments can easily be lost by entering the wrong wallet address

    Tips for Playing at the Top Ethereum Gambling Sites

    Here are some final suggestions to consider as you begin playing at new online casinos that accept Ethereum.

    Fair Play

    Historically, most casino slots were rigged. One of the great advantages of modern gaming is the notion of random number generators or RNG machines that are programmed to be fair and totally random in relation to the probabilities of chance. Make sure the casino you’re using uses RNGs and has them periodically audited by independent third parties to ensure compliance with fair play rules.

    2FA ID

    The security and privacy provided by an ETH casino are robust, yet there is still a possibility of human error. Enabling 2-factor authentication on your ID helps protect your funds and transactions by requiring an additional password that only you know.

    Know the Site’s T&C

    T&C stands for Terms and Conditions, which are the casino’s written rules governing bonuses, deposits, withdrawals, liability, and more. It is important to read these rules before signing up for a bonus or assuming a withdrawal will be processed as quickly as the website states. It doesn’t change the rules to read them, but it does prepare you for things like wagering requirements on bonuses or a week-long wait to get your winnings.

    Ready to Bet at the Top Ethereum Gambling Sites?

    If you’ve been looking for an alternative to the slow financial transactions that online casinos have been getting away with for the supposed sake of security, you’re not alone. It’s why cryptocurrency has taken the online gaming world by storm over the last few years.

    The new blockchain security system is far faster than bureaucratic banking systems and ID verification, and it’s much more secure. Just ask bettors how much better they prefer using crypto at casinos like Ignition than waiting 1-3 days for fiat withdrawals.

    So, start betting to enjoy anonymous gameplay, bonuses, and fast withdrawals.

    DISCLAIMER: You probably don’t need us to tell you that any form of gambling comes with risks and should not be treated as a solution to financial troubles.
