  Professor Wole Soyinka has said the inability of the supporters of the Labour Party, LP, otherwise known as Obidients, to accept criticism has now become their badge of honour.   The Nobel laureate shared this opinion in a statement released on Friday, April 7, titled “Fascism on Course,”. “The instigating contest – Nigerian Democracy 2023 – has witnessed much that is innovative – largely in the retrogressive vein.

  A leading Nigerian commercial bank, Zenith Bank has returned N3.23 million to Chiamaka Agim, a Lagos State resident whose N4.039 million was erroneously deducted on January 9. It had been reported how Zenith Bank earlier told Agim that she would only get N800,500 out of the debited N4,039,900. However, the bank returned N3,239,400 on the evening of Monday, January 16.
