A female staff of Total Nigeria has been praised for her rare display of integrity. Adeyeye Omolara (pictured in Red) returned the sum of N108,000 that a customer lost at a branch of the station. Below is the announcement made on Facebook by Total Nigeria: "We all know that it is widespread in Nigeria that Service Station attendants are fraudulent and in fact, they have been subtly termed as "crooks". Well, I am proud to announce to you that Total Nigeria is not in that category! It was yesterday 1st February 2017; a report came in that a customer returned to the Total service station Yakuba road Illorin Kware state, complaining that he had lost an envelope containing money. The customer did not go beyond the pump Island hence the search started and ended there but to no avail. Later that day, an envelope was found containing N108,000 between the sand bucket and the fuel pump. The station immediately reported the issue on air through a radio station to contact the man as he had his name on the envelope with other documents. The man later came back to the station in tears, full of appreciation and gratitude and yes the cash was handed over to him. It was so touching to know that the N108,000 was meant for the school fees/purchase of forms for three of another man's children and was given to him to execute. Thanks to our Heroic attendant, the money remained intact. The Integrity and Gospel of good business ethics trickles down to the smallest bits of Total Nigeria Plc’s business operations. We are really proud of the discipline exhibited by our station staff Adeyeye Omolara (The Lady in Red) - she is our hero"

                      

The music mogul’s foundation, who are part of the organizers of the February 6th nationwide protest, says they are in talks with the Lagos state police command and that the police hasn’t told them they are banning the protest.

Speaking to pressmen this morning, the singer’s manager and an executive of his foundation, Efe Omoroge, said the police has not informed them that the planned protest has been banned.

“We have reached out to them. We are having conversations with them. I am not sure the news making the rounds about the protest is true.
The feedback from the police authorities is quite different from that. I am not sure about the source of the police story and how true it is.
The police has not told us they are banning the protest. We are in talks with them. They have not communicated that to us either in words, written form or body language.
Maybe you should reach out to the police authorities to clarify their stance but on behalf of the 2face foundation, we do not think that is true because that is not the feedback we have received.
We do not think the police will be telling us one thing and will be telling the media something else”he said

Asked if they have requested for a protest permit, Omorogbe said:

“We are actively engaging the police. Our protest is a controlled conversation. Our objectives are clear. 2baba is a peace ambassador.
The 2face foundation’s primary focus is peace building and advocating for good governance. The protest is a citizens engagement. It is not an organized labor conversation. It is not pro or against anybody or religion. It is unrepresented”he said

Reacting to Blackface and other persons attacking the planned protest, Omorogbe said

“Freedom of speech. It is a free country. The way I have the right to say the sun is quite high and I am feeling hot is the same way someone has the right to say the sun is quite high but I am cold”
