Zenith Bank PLC, one of Nigeria’s leading financial institutions, has dismissed as entirely untrue reports on the purported arrest of its Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer (GMD/CEO), Dr Ebenezer Onyeagwu, in a section of the media.
The reports claimed Dr
Onyeagwu was arrested by the EFCC in connection with alleged fraud at the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs.
The foremost lender, however, clarified that the GMD was neither arrested nor detained by the EFCC or any other anti-graft agency, adding that he is currently fulfilling his duties and responsibilities as the Group Managing Director of Zenith Bank Plc.
This was contained in a statement issued by the bank in Lagos on Wednesday and signed by Rich El O. Otu, its Company Secretary/General Counsel.
The statement added that the bank will continue to maintain the highest standards of integrity, accountability, and transparency and remains committed to providing exceptional banking and financial services to customers.
“We have become aware of inaccurate reports circulating on social media and certain news outlets alleging that Dr Ebenezer Onyeagwu, the Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Zenith Bank Plc, was arrested and held by the EFCC on January 9, 2024, in connection with alleged fraud at the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.
“We wish to clarify that these reports are entirely false. The Group Managing Director was not arrested or detained by the EFCC or any other anti-graft agency and is currently fulfilling his duties at the bank.
“We are issuing this public statement to dispel the misinformation and ensure that the public and our stakeholders are accurately informed.
“Zenith Bank remains dedicated to upholding the highest standards of banking and financial services,” the statement read.
The Group Managing Directors (GMDs) of Zenith, Providus and Jaiz banks, on Tuesday, honoured the invitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), to hand over documents relating to accounts operated by the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs to the anti-graft agency.
A source from the Agency confirmed that the bank Czars, departed the Abuja headquarters of the anti-graft agency after the documents were handed over.
Multiple sources close to the banks, EFCC and the Presidency clarified that the banks’ documents were requested by the anti-graft agency, to help in its ongoing investigation, into alleged financial impropriety in the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.
President Bola Tinubu, on Monday, suspended the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, and directed an investigation into her Ministry.
Edu, who was grilled on Tuesday, by the EFCC, had allegedly directed the disbursement of N585,198,500.00 grant meant for Vulnerable Groups in Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Lagos and Ogun States, into a private account.

The meteoric rise of memecoins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu has shown the power of online communities and humorous marketing in the crypto world. However, as Hydra Chain’s core developers debate marketing strategies, their discussion raises an important question – how does a serious blockchain project court mainstream traction without compromising its technological edge?
Hydra Chain recently announced a major utility upgrade – the launch of a LYDRA/HYDRA liquidity pool on its DEX. The LYDRA token allows HYDRA stakers to free up coins for other uses without losing staking yields.
By letting holders mint liquid LYDRA against staked HYDRA, the feature unlocks wider flexibility for users to optimize returns. LYDRA introduces new utility like earning staking yields on HYDRA while also freeing capital for activities like liquidity provision.
This upgrade comes as Hydra debates internally how to balance memes and technology for wider traction, much like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have done. The project wants viral promotion but not at the cost of robust development.
Analysts are bullish about the LYDRA move as it boosts accessibility and real-world usage. At the same time, Hydra’s developers feel retaining technical credibility remains crucial for institutional adoption.
This balancing act parallels the quandary between joke origins and maturity that pioneering memecoins now wrestle with. As projects court wider appeal, Hydra’s debate offers useful principles to navigate this tension.
The rest of the piece analyze this debate and the parallels with major memecoins in more detail.
The discussion started when Telegram user Diogenes suggested having two websites – one serious, one cartoonish – to promote Hydra’s staking yields to memecoin communities. However, CTO at Hydra Chain, Florian, objected that leaning too heavily on memes could undermine Hydra’s credibility for builders and partners.
Florian argued that while meme hype can help launch projects, 90% of meme launches are low-quality, whereas Hydra offers advanced capabilities. Hence memecoin investors might not care about technology, but serious developers do. He wants Hydra to balance memes with substantive technology that inspires trust.
Importantly though, Florian didn’t oppose humor entirely. He embraced Hydra’s playful name and visual designs. However, he felt Hydra shouldn’t go overboard into full meme territory. Diogenes clarified he didn’t mean an actual memecoin either, just simplified messaging for that demographic.
This nuanced debate parallels the positions of Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, two of the largest memecoin projects. Doge in particular faces a quandary between its joke origins and adoption ambitions that necessitate development. Meanwhile, Shiba leans heavily on memes while trying to expand utility.
Facing similar dilemmas, Hydra offers an instructive moderate approach. The project shows how memecoin communities can be courted not through mocking memes, but streamlined explanations of compelling utility. For Doge and Shiba holders seeking yield rather than just speculation, Hydra’s staking model aims to provide significant rewards that could potentially prove more attractive than non-yield-generating memecoins.
In essence, Hydra realizes memecoin communities and builders have different priorities. Hence messaging should differentiate value propositions while retaining technical credibility. Memes can help attract capital, but serious infrastructure keeps it invested.
Meanwhile, constant community questions around staking suggest organic awareness is growing. Hence Hydra is attracting memecoin-esque liquidity while building long-term technological appeal.
In this manner, Hydra offers clever lessons for the memecoin space:
Viral memes bring fleeting hype, robust utilities sustain organic growth
Serious developers care about capabilities over memes, differentiate value propositions
Streamline explanations for some communities, preserve technical credibility for others
Balance meme-friendly designs with substantive capabilities, don’t compromise entirely
Of course, only time will tell if Hydra’s middle-path strategy pays off. But as pioneering memecoins wrestle between original jokes and mature adoption, Hydra’s insightful community debate offers useful principles to navigate this tension. With responsive messaging, projects can court wider appeal without losing their edge. And that’s a lesson from which even the original dog coins could learn some new tricks.
Investigators have uncovered evidence of a massive pedophile ring operating in plain sight on Etsy – the online marketplace.
According to evidence unearthed by researchers, pedophiles have been using Etsy to buy and sell children using ‘Pizzagate‘ code words and imagery.
Instantly downloadable encrypted JPEG files of pizza costing between $3,000-$14,000 and children’s overalls costing over $35,000 are among some of the sickening high-priced items that caught the attention of investigators.
Infowars.com reports: As pizza and “cheese pizza” (CP) are terms known to be pedophile slang for child pornography, many naturally questioned whether the posts could be serving as a devious way to conduct unlawful sales of illicit material.
“Who in their right mind pays $9,000 for a download of a PICTURE of pizza?” questioned X user @NiQole1776.
The Seller of these “Products” took down these items already. All the links are dead now… why?
As high-priced pizza files came under fire, people began questioning other items for sale on the site, including the following listing for children’s overalls costing over $35,000.
Etsy has a Little Girl in Overalls listed for $35k
To be honest, I’m not sure what to think, and there could be an explanation for these things, but it’s very disturbing it’s almost always related to children and or Pizza and no one investigates it.
The questionable Etsy posts – in all likelihood pointing to an illegal child trafficking or pornography ring, or an illegal money laundering operation, caught the attention of numerous social media users – including Gen. Mike Flynn, who asked for “an explanation for these suspicious posts.”
“Hey @Etsy — I would like an explanation for these suspicious posts, and I still would like an explanation for why I’m not allowed to sell “Child Lives Matter” products while you approve products that promote Satan!”@NiQole1776@Amerifuturehttps://t.co/A0xBbxIa6A
“Hey @Etsy — I would like an explanation for these suspicious posts, and I still would like an explanation for why I’m not allowed to sell “Child Lives Matter” products while you approve products that promote Satan!”@NiQole1776@Amerifuturehttps://t.co/A0xBbxIa6A
Prolific predator poacher Alex Rosen, who has busted dozens of pedophiles, also commented the online sleuths “appear to be exposing what looks to be a pretty big child p**n trading ring on Etsy.”
Holy crap. @NiQole1776 and others appear to be exposing what looks to be a pretty big child p**n trading ring on @Etsy…
Sellers are making pages with images of pizza and selling them for $1,000s of dollars. There seems to be several instances of this.
This is why no one can believe things online… OBVIOUSLY no one is using such THINLY veiled "code words" like PIZZA to disguise child sex trafficking. That is ridiculous. On its face.
Some users compared the current situation on Etsy to the Wayfair controversy that engulfed social media years ago, which accused the online furniture store of facilitating child trafficking.
As yet, Etsy has not responded to Infowars’ request for comment.
