 FEDERAL MINISTRY OF INFORMATION AND NATIONAL ORIENTATION  PRESS STATEMENT  BINANCE FALSE CLAIM ON BRIBERY DIVERSIONARY  The Federal Government of Nigeria is aware of attempts by Binance to launder its impaired image as an organisation that does not play by the rules and laws guiding business conduct in sovereign nations. In a blog post that has now been published by many international media organisations, in an apparent well-coordinated public relations effort, Binance Chief Executive Officer Richard Teng made false allegations of bribery against unidentified Nigerian government officials who he claimed demanded $150m in cryptocurrency payments to resolve the ongoing criminal investigation against the company.  This claim by Binance CEO lacks any iota of substance.

Soyinka’s third novel released in French

Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka’s third novel, “Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth”, has been released in French.

Originally published in English in 2021, the novel, lauded by the French press for its satirical elements mixing humour and horror, was described by poet and novelist Ben Okri as a “shocking story of political corruption in a country much like his homeland”

It follows the adventures of Papa Davina, a wannabe guru who comes back from the United States and finds an unlikely following as the creator of his own religion.

“The title comes from external sources: I read one of these Gallup polls conducted around the world, one about which are the happiest people in the world,” Soyinka explains.

“I was astonished to find that Nigeria was among the top six, maybe even top three or four. So I started asking myself how we came to earn such an unlikely title, ” Soyinka told RFI’s Catherine Fruchon-Toussaint.

Soyinka’s other two novels are “The Interpreters” (1965) and “Season of Anomy” (1973).
