- After Justice Abimbola Awogboro of Lagos High Court sentenced cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky, to six months in the slammer without an option of a fine, it was clear that the anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, was going to bare more fangs. Top socialite, Paschal Okechukwu, better known as Cubana Chief Priest, is in the eye of the EFCC storm. He has been arraigned in court over naira abuse. The said crime occurred on the 13th of February, 2024. He pleaded not guilty and has therefore been granted bail, in the sum of 10 million naira

Why have EFCC not also arrested Tinubu's daughter who was seen on video spreading Naira notes? Is she above the law?
Yes, she's above the law lol
Presidential dota
Olodos. Because it's a lie made up by Obiidiots.
You saw that
Mumu. That's not Tinubu's daughter.
Can someone explain to me what exactly is the crime Cubana Chief Priest is being prosecuted for? I am very confused. What is Naira abuse? Was he manipulating currency markets illegally? Did he violate some market regulations? It sounds like he is being prosecuted for spraying money, but I am very confused as to why that would be a crime. We spray money here in America too, but I am finding it difficult to understand why that would be a punishable crime that warrants posting bail. Is Nigeria this backwards that this is the state of the legal system? Don't we have more pressing matters to address?
Do you really want answers to this questions or you are just asking as a form of mischief. I can provide clarity if you are really interested in what the Nigerian Law states. Kindly note that laws vary from country to country, and comparing the USA and it's stance on spraying money to Nigeria's stance on such is dishonest. Our subjective opinion on why the government has taken it personal to witch-hunt wrongdoers is another issue entirely.
@@tolulopeadebayo8512 I am not interested in what the law states in this instance, more in the rationale behind it, so any guidance would be appreciated. The reason I mentioned America is to highlight that Nigerian communities globally spray their respective currencies, and no outside government has taken such a stance on such practices.
Laws have to have some sort of base in rational reasoning even when balanced against the relevant society's principals. Here, it seems like an undue burden to both the State and the citizens to be subject to, and enforce, this seemingly arbritrary rule.
For instance, the men in the above vid mentioned the money being dirty as some sort of explanation as to why the rule exists. However, this can be easily addressed by circulating the physical note through a reserve system that reprints and discards old notes. At least that's what some countries do. Also, money inevitably will get worn and tarnished overtime even with "proper" use.
Also, the punishment seems a bit excessive and a wasteful use of judicial resources to pursue this matter in this manner. Imposing an arrest and bail for what should be a misdeamenor for a victimless crime that has no actual chance of causing any irreparable harm to any identifiable living person or irreplaceable property is very weird to me.
I guess what I am trying to say is, money is personal property. Unless you acquired it in a manner that would be considered illegal and/or a crime, once you acquire it, it is yours to do as you wish. You can burn it, spit on it, stomp on it, use it to wipe your bum, etc. Same as your car, the clothes on your back, the deed to your house, etc.
In this instance, spraying money is a well-known and accepted cultural norm. So merging that the money is both acquired personal property, and it's use adheres to an already established and accepted cultural norm, AND there are less restricitive means to achieve whatever respect the State wants citizens to have for the currency, I am having trouble comprehending exactly why this a crime, and that the crime requires an arrest and bail.
@@tolulopeadebayo8512 spraying money is cultural to IGBOS. The trail of Cubana is putting IGBO culture on trail who actually are the main target of this law. Nigeria should stop antagonizing IGBOS, it can only worsen things.
This guy on the show speaks like he has personal grouse with Cubana Chief Priest. I am no a fan of Cubana Chief Priest but I think the media should let the judge decide the case.
Babajide what about the Man pocketing corrupt Dollars from Kano.
You guys play alot.
What does Jide mean by the dollar is not sprayed? Nigerians spray dollar even in America. As a matter of fact if they now chose to spray just dollar alone, they cannot be arrested. Stop saying what you don't know.
Exactly
Jide is a Brown Envelope journalists
Show us an evidence where dollars are spread in the US.
They will be arrested for spraying foreign currency 💲 on Nigerian soil. International crime.😂😂😂
@@save_theworld go and read the law. It specifically refers to the Nigerian naira.
Jide, you may have issues with Cubana chief priest's conduct but I find it petty when you insult him by addressing his suit as oversized. You need to be cautious in your critique of others because you're far from perfect yourself.
What are you wrote ?
Cubana feeding Mr Jide or what did you means?
You’re right my brother,this Babajide always use this platform to Insult people
😂😂😂
Babajide or whatever you find yourself
Your jealousy for cabana because he is igbo and your are a poor begger
Will fail
You and your cohorts will fail
Enough! This is the you people were spreading lie that Obi won
Jide to Cubana Chief Priest: " Wearing an oversized coat". 😂 😂 😆 😝
This Jide is seriously expressing his hate for a people. I used to watch your program Journalist Hangout but not anymore. The Hatred for a people is becoming too much.
Poverty is your problem... what concerns you with Cubans suit
It’s hate
Water is life. Money is water. Money is life.
Jide spoke maturely. Audience, pls stop attacking him. Cubana chief priest should be cautious at this time, to avoid making the matter more complicated.
Because he said money na water? You and your likes should stop passing judgment on social media to pressure a sitting judge over a matter that is already pending before him! What determines guilt is the law juxtaposed with the evidence, and certainly, ‘money na water’ post isn't the evidence the EFCC has before arraigning Cubana Chief Priest in court!
You guys call yourselves journalists but judging cases. Deciding how a judge would act because of someone's post! Are you guys normal?
You still don't understand what you're saying
Are you defending what Cubana Chief Priest is doing?
You are the one who is not normal. You should check yourself for capping nonsense.
Tvc is the most useless station
In your myopic opinion!
Is an A.P.C station and they dont fail to support anything A.P.C
There is no way people spray money with dignity. It's long overdue to curb all these boys. Seeing money in developed countries looks as if the money were printed ' yesterday '. But our money stinks.
Jolelosy
Well said.
Mr. Jide can't you address this matter without exposing yourself as political apprentice 🤔🤔🤔
These 2 big heads are preempt the court
You need to understand that these people are not educated and again it raised questions about source of their income. Let them use their money to equip hospitals, schools, roads, electricity, water. Impose it on them to pay tax because according to them, money na water
When I was a teenager, the rich igbos never sprayed money ,it was mainly the cultural practices of the Yorubas to spray money in an occasion with a bit of dignity but as soon as the igbo Coca-Cola boys took over the spraying culture , they took it to an abnormal level. The Cubana chiefpriest is guilty as charged and he will be given the maximum punishment of a fine and a jail term sadly
Is that the problem of Nigerians now ?
What about the politicians stealing public founds and packing it outside the country, una dey die after someone money.
Ode
They should jail him, or else the country is a joke. He feels he's above the law. He galantly went to court with his entourage as if he's going for an award. If Nigeria wants change, it must start with the implementation of laws and orders. There must be consequences for bad behaviours. We are watching.
The FIRS should be the one going after those that spray naira notes. Just review their tax profiles if they pay their taxes correctly. Many of them don't. Where they don't, fine them heavily as punitive measures. This way, you will begin to see people behaving themselves. The govt is not even smart about boosting its tax collections. Use instruments of state authority to compel behavioural changes in the society.
You're very very sensible and smart.
Jide can you ask why EFCC did not go after the political holder who spray Naira at party? We want to see them go after every Nigerian doing the act.
This is really confusing... yet he speaking of the case of Late Singer MOHBAD....this man was never questioned regarding his dimise...and Mohbad 's last show was promoted by Cubana Chief Priest.
Nigeria must do better..but with Law enforcement. apparently Money talks....and if you have it " YOU CAN WALK '!!!! JUSTICE FOR MOHBAD 🙏
Arresting and prosecuting citizens for a crime called “Naira Abuse”, is unconstitutional.
Spraying of naira in parties is a way of expressing your love either for the celebrant or the musician.
Expression is Free speech, and is a right in the constitution.
A lawyer in Nigeria should take it up as a constitutional issue, pro bono.
The guys on this show are ignorants. We spray money in US, and police officers are aware of it.
No one can be arrested in US for spraying his hard earned money.
It’s stupid, but Stupidity is not a crime.
The constitution allows you to be foolish.
Foolishness is a right.
Where in the U.S do you spray money this way? Or are you talking of another U.S??
@@oyekanmiabiodun2983 , in Nigerian parties. Unless you are new in the US, you won’t be asking such questions.
Go to Nigerian parties, you will see. Search TH-cam and watch weddings in US.
I want President Tinubu to succeed and bring prosperity back to Nigeria, but I struggle to understand the rationale behind the arrest of citizens for abuse of the Naira at a time the country is confroted by more serious challenges. Why is this a priority at this time?
You want President Tinubu to succeed and bring prosperity back to Nigeria? Dey play, just dey play 😅
@@robertalexander1595 No, I no dey play. I have some basic understanding of economics and I could see that the reforms which President Tinubu embarked upon will lead to rapid economic recovery and resurgence of prosperity, although painful at the moment. You and I will live to witness it.
Only in Nigeria you can see these kinds of foolishness call spraying money. What's culture and what's religion? These two things have kept Nigeria enslaved and backward instead of good governance. Money spraying should be banned all over the country. End this folly foolishness and trained our youth to be more creative and innovative.
Almost all the party leader and Governor elect has done this same thing 😂😂😂😂
Why Is Babajide always like this,are judges deciding punishment themselves or reverting to stipulated punishment?
The term "Naira abuse" typically refers to practices that misuse or mistreat the Naira, which is the currency of Nigeria. This can include physical mishandling or damaging of the currency notes themselves, such as tearing, burning, or excessive folding that renders them unfit for circulation. It might also encompass illegal or unethical financial practices like counterfeiting, money laundering, or fraud involving the Naira.
These people don't even know what is Naira abuse
This one na personal beaf oooo wearing an over size coat lol😂😂😂😂 jide abeg .
This guy need to be taught a lesson
You may start teaching him.
Money na water 😂
Jide is always sentimental in all his views. Before you know it, he will tribaliz it. Nonsense
Very setimental
Abeg which kind money this Chief Cubana get?
Good job for preserving the dignity of the naira
But focus on the main points
Physical defamation of the naira is against the law
But stop emphasising “at a time where there is poverty in the land
Is Cubana the cause of the poverty in the land ?
Did he suddenly pick those monies accidentally from the floor?
The more important questions u journalist should be asking is how did he make those monies .
Not how he choose to spend it .
Which planet are these men coming from?
They will still confuse the confusion they have inside their head.
Why pleading not guilty and with fine of N10m?
Law of criminality
Cubana chief priest shoule be arrested again and jail. He was not remorseful
Impressed by the level of information given most of the time
Jide is very correct on this, I support Jide 100 % for this. Cubana Chief priest is supposed to be arrested again for that statement on Instagram.
Do you need his address?
@@peterchuks851was I the one who arrested him for the first time??
Don’t forget that he is only on bail, the case is still ongoing.
Why will he make such a reckless comment?
When he’s arrested again. You will understand. Don’t worry.
His point from 10:25 is 100% valid .
They are truly selfish people. Never giving only showboating
Babajide said 'wearing oversized coat' 😅😅😅😅😅😅
The law should just say Nigerians are barred from any form of naira spray. Because there is no way the naira will not be abused if spraying of naira is still allowed in the country.
Cubans chief have been saying Money Na Water. This is not the first time he saying that always Zoogeria. You people should leave him alone. Go and arrest market people who are rough handle your money
Terrible.
But those in charge are going for the small fish including the city boy and his gangsters. What Nigerians are saying is that those spraying the Naira are just the small fish in the Ocean.
If indeed the EFCC can bite as we are made to believe, the city boy and small man Sanwolu should be paraded too.
Pls go for the real thing. Stop this nonsense which Jide Otitoju and co are beefing on.
The future of Nigeria lyes in the hand of youth, only if necessary measure is implemented, we must understand that if money were consciously invest in Agriculture, Technology, Transportation, and infrastructure, in less time, our future is bright, God bless Federal republic of Nigeria
Jide, you are one of the problems in Nigeria, are those the only people spraying the naira in Nigeria 🇳🇬 I rest my case 🙌
The zoo used bobriski (yoruba man) to set example to get to their main target cubana chief prist (Igbo man)
Then the Igbo men should not get into the way of the law😊
Look at how debased your reasoning faculty is
Your hatred for igbos will fail
Idiots
My dear do be sentimental bob his doing his time let him go too cuz he shouldn't have immediately type money na water even government can't say that
Oga u are a big fool. Not everything u take for tribalism. That's the reason why you particularly is not moving forward in life. Goat 🐐
Thank you sir,na only show up
Jide i swear no b lie, People like this will never ever help you in private.
U know bc u are used to begging for money from people abi?
Jide should go and beg Chief cubana to bless him period!!!!!
Point of correction I've seen dollars gone the same way in Europe
They should jail him 20years with hard labour
What of govt officials?
Please as we cannot forget this abuse of our money, let's not forget the excess draining of our currency by looters, budget paddling and waste going on in governance. These are inflicting poverty on Nigerians.
Stop mutilating Naira currencies: are the aim of EFCC.
When will EFCC arrest the Yoruba Oba who sprayed Kwam-1
The case is in court you all should be arrested, for subjudist, do not judge the case before it gets to court, there are order problems facing Nigeria,,, the Tinibu administration is bitting hard on us, I have never seen you guys call out the president it's policies and projects, but once it comes to order Nigeria, champion ,
Dream. Man
Well said.
They are all Tinubu cohort
Journalists discussing an ongoing case and giving subjective views based on precedents and the provision of the law is not prejudicial. It might be unprofessional, but i don't think any judge will consult them before giving his verdict.
Nonsense so how we go take chop now if them no spray us
Let us set things right
He will learn in a hard way
Go and make money stop saying all these things you are angry with him because they don't have money
It's apparent that Jide is not a lawyer, judging from his comments on the ongoing cases. Cubana chief priest has been charged and has pleaded not guilty; it's now up to the prosecution to carry out their duties. There's no need for speculation. The positive aspect of the EFCC's current actions is that it will likely discourage the practice of spraying money at parties from this point forward. Period.
Lord have mercy .
Too much Niara in circulations. If the cashless policy was not just on paper it would have been able to curb these things. How many persons would you see with 10 thousand dollar cash in their purse or at home unless druggies. The same government prosecuting the people are the ones to be prosecuted. It’s our culture, we are not the United state or UK. We have our culture limit amount of cash any individual can hold at a time but ensure adequate internet facilities in place with proper fintech and good banks operating systems to avoid issues of I was debited and the client didn’t get the money bla bla bla then we can solve all this.
The real abusers of the Naira are government officials who steal our common wealth. Our money is worthless hence people spray it with reckless abandon. On the other hand you will find it difficult to spray dollars or pound sterling because their currency is strong. The easiest way to stop spraying of the nairait is to introduce in practical terms economic activities that will strengthen our currency. Where a dollar exchanges for N1,105 it makes it very easy to throw it around.
Who has money in nigeria think he is above the law😢😅
I understand the angle of the law and the crime committed by the accused but in a program like this, JOURNALIST SHOULD AVOID BEING SUBJECTIVE OVER A MATTER
Sometimes we talk as if it's not the same judges we had in presidental election tribunal, We shall see...
Niger State Governor did same 😊
Talk about it
Also bring videos of politicians and the kings spraying money too
He's probably going to claim that the money he sprayed was fake money ! Therefore claiming that it was not legal tender issued by CBN. If not his plea would take a miracle to go beyond reasonable doubt.
Smiles. So you mean he possess millions of fake currency? That's a worse offence
Smart dude
@@Nemeka4realIt’s allowed. Do you watch nollywood. Even America movie use fake dollar.
It is against the law for any individual or establishment outside the Central Bank of Nigeria, to print money or be in possession of counterfeit notes. If you are caught and convicted of a counterfeiting crime, you may face up to five (5) years imprisonment with no option of fine (Section 20).
Money na water 😅😂
"It costs a lot of money to print money..?
Putting a currency in your wallet, pocket or purse puts it under much more stress than spraying it. Let’s not be silly
Don’t they pay tax from all these disposable income?The country is in a big mess.
In as much as both were culprits ,the judge will show mercy on whom he will show mercy n show compassion on whom it decides, it's the judge prerogative under the law. Your contributions to ur society n attitude may speak in ur times of trouble. Its worth taking a leave from thls drama. Same song, some will dance n get hugs but some will dance n get strokes. Please stop abuse of naira, its not cultural. Its a display of stupidity n highest level of illiteracy . We already have enough people in need everywhere in the land ❤
Increase workers salaries, we are hungry. My humble submission. We should be discussing minimum wage not.......,.😢
Let any of these commentators claiming to be saints swear they have never sprayed Naira. The Prosecution would have to provide evidence that what he was throwing was real Naira.
Journalist want to teach judges how to do their work, that's tvc journalist for you
Im watching from Jamaica and I always wonder why Nigerians spay money. They do so at weddings, parties, clubs, etc. I thought it was part of the culture
Meanwhile yaya hello is still on the run, efcc couldn’t get him check am
Mr Jide is very correct the best thing is to send Cuban chief purist to Jail with hard Labour
Unfortunately for you no one can jail chief priest so far Nigeria is concerned...
Just have money 💰 in this country 😂
Our currency no get level ...we suppoose dae even march am sef
You're going to arrest alot of people in Nigeria
I hope the politicians are also ready for the journey!!! Because the political elites are more guilty. Besides can EFCC prove beyond reasonable doubt that what he was holding or spraying was Nigerian currency? This is one of the burdens of EFCC...
There's no burden! He did it and must serve the term. Let's not trivialize serious issue.
@@OMOARIYO1 Go ahead and prove it sir!
Babajide is a double standard man.a completely A.P.C man
Pls do u have a personal issue with cubana Chief priest,?
Leave the guy alone, there’s a lot of problems in the land and you are there talking nothing
Emiefele was busy enjoying for how much wey he carry... People wey spray small money wey Dem get dey get conviction and jail term...
Lol...
Emiefele is not free yet…
Lol... EFCC should channel energy to better things... This is total waste of resources... I no wan mention names wey them suppose pursue nor add anything to my initial statement...
Did the people in question earn the money legitimately? Did they pay taxes on the earnings as appropriate? Isn't the money they sprayed their personal property? Isn't spray of money a cultural matter? Why is the government offended by an aspect of a Nigerian culture? This appears to be a culture war.
By the way, when was the last time our security agencies arrested and prosecuted kidnappers who receive millions of Naira as ransom from the families of the victims, even when the ransome was paid via the country's banks?
It's obvious they can't face all the issues at omce, but we need to start from somewhere
@@lukmanaliyu7386 Start from somewhere, yes, but in my view, they should start with bigger, more pressing issues. There are so many 'big people' with allegation of looting of billions of Naira hanging around their neck but they are not charged to court with the same zeal and spead. An ex-Accountant General who allegedly looted over N80 billion but a few billions were said to be recovered from him. Shouldn't such a person be charged to court? How do you explain how kidnappers could be collecting tens of millions of Naira through the banks without any consequence? I am making this contribution because I desire and feel certain that Nigeria will get better and flourish under Presidennt Tinubu.
I pity TVC your analyst are alway sentiment in their analysis and that’s a big problem for you moving forward , we all want Nigeria to be great but this looks one sided we have seen more pressing issues in Nigeria and the EFCC won’t react to it eg. Some of the ministers in this government have corruption cases and the EFCC turn a blind eye to such people this is not what will make a real changes we want to see in Nigeria.
Jide you're very correct this is what will are saying people supporting this nonsense because of tribe that's what they are
Money has turn us to slave! We pay money to print money nonsense generation
Spraying money this way is very bad and really a notorious act. Money are sprayed in Europe and United States but never in this manner. You can't spray this way and go free. You would need to proof solidly the source of the funds.
People who work for their money and bragg about it are better than cup-in-hand-beggars who lack that economic gift.
Are they the only one that are abusing naira ?What about our president daughter and some other artists out there . Make e na go sleep abeg nobody is above the law
In my own opinion I hope all these rubbish should have to stop and that is why we see our young ones goes for money rituals, even they can killed their mother alive because they want to be spraying money like Kubana.
Let us say meaningful to the right things and let our children learn from us.
What is bad is bad.
11:13 Jide , owambe people have been spraying money for long time
Government officials have been involved. What you should advice now is for Government to 100% band it. Many people are involved
BKO 😂😂😂....once again, I completely agree with you on your talking points regarding the subject matter... Keep it up...!!
Efcc needs to prove tire
This is a silly waste of time and these journalists need to spend some time in the Western countries to get enlightened. The value of naira is not affected by the cleanliness. Nigerians in diaspora like America spray dollars at some events but America is busy dealing with more important issues to help their citizens. What a joke in Nigeria.
