Kaduna businessman drags ex fiancee’s father to court, demands dowry refund A businessman, Nasiru Dayyabu, on Wednesday, dragged the father of his ex-fiance, Mallam Sani Direba, to Shari’a Court II sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna over N260,000 dowry. The complainant had joined Direba in the suit against two brothers demanding a refund of N250, 000 dowry and N10,000 introduction money he paid to marry his daughter. Represented by his counsel, Mr Sani Sunusi, the complainant told the court that he sent his people from Karaye, Kano State to Kaduna in 2025, to seek for the defendant’s daughter’s hand in marriage. “We paid the dowry and the introduction money (kudin gausuwa) and were waiting for them to set a date for the wedding,” he said. “Unfortunately, the lady’s father called to inform us that they have cancelled the marriage.” The counsel said the complainant had asked for the refund of his money since Sept. 2025 but all the efforts he made proved abortive.

 Hardship: Embark on deliberate production, patronizing of locally made goods – Obono-Obla


A former presidential adviser, Chief Okoi Obono-Obla, has called on the ruling party to deliberately embark on promoting the manufacturing and patronizing of made-in-Nigeria goods.

He also emphasised that the country should export these goods to other countries to earn foreign exchange.

He was reacting to prevalent hyperinflation and hardship in the country in an exclusive interview with DAILY POST on Monday morning, blaming undue advantage of the dollar over naira.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain warned that the Federal Government cannot peg the exchange rate of the naira to international currency, making the dollar to become over dominant.

“We cannot continue to have a dollarised economy when the dollar is not our national currency. Our national currency is the naira, which should be the means of exchange, buying and selling but we descended to the ridiculous level of making the dollar superior to our national currency in our disposition to embracing everything foreign no matter how worthless it is.

“We only export crude oil in commercial quantities as the only means of earning foreign exchange. The international oil market is very sensitive, it is volatile and easily vulnerable and quickly reacts to the vagaries of international geopolitics and interest to market forces so depending on such commodity as the only means of earning foreign exchange for a country of 230 million people is dangerous and indeed injurious to our national interest.

“We must strengthen the naira through conscious and deliberate efforts of partnership and collaboration between the government and the people of Nigeria.”

On wanton killings and insecurity in the country, the activist and lawyer insisted that it is corruption and the institutionalizing of lawlessness that is fuelling insecurity and crime in the country.

He lamented that the well placed and wealthy are those disobeying and largely fueling the insecurity.

“Over the years, the governing elite has manifested a propensity and desire of strong aversion to obeying law, adhering to due process and doing things in an orderly manner.

“The consequence is that it became engrained in the psychology of the ordinary Nigerian that there are no consequences for crime in the country. So we are paying the price for the lawlessness, disorderliness and greed of the governing elites over the years,” he said.
