In a shocking turn of events, CBEX— the platform previously accused of defrauding over 600,000 Nigerians of a staggering ₦1.2 trillion—has quietly resumed operations. This move comes despite ongoing investigations and a clear declaration by Nigerian authorities labeling the platform as illegal. Without making a public announcement, CBEX reactivated its website and introduced new withdrawal options, a move seen by many as an attempt to regain trust and lure back unsuspecting victims. The development has raised serious questions: How can a platform under such heavy scrutiny operate so freely? Where are the regulatory watchdogs? And most importantly—will Nigerians fall for it again? A Dangerous Trend This isn’t the first time a “get-rich-quick” platform has resurfaced after a scandal, but the scale of CBEX’s alleged fraud makes its return particularly concerning. The reactivation is a slap in the face to victims and a major red flag that enforcement in Nigeria’s digital financial spa...

 Recently, social media was stirred by a bold claim made by Obi Cubana’s adopted son, who went on TikTok declaring himself the “next of kin” to the billionaire businessman. Not long after, Obi Cubana responded—subtly but firmly—by posting a photo of his biological son on Instagram with the caption: “Ancient and Modern.

If the adopted son made his claim in public, then a public response was both necessary and fair. Silence might have been mistaken for agreement—and in a family as visible and influential as Obi Cubana’s, such silence could breed confusion and future conflict. Let’s be real: In African culture, blood still matters. Whether we like it or not, many Africans draw a sharp line between biological and adopted children, especial...
