The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has said it will block loan apps that har@$$ customers.

Speaking in a recent interview, the acting Chairman of FCCPC, Adamu Abdullahi, said: “It would soon be history in the country that online platforms that many people know as loan sharks, where some Nigerians access money quickly to solve urgent issues.

However, if they don’t pay back on time, some of these loan companies send unpleasant messages with their picture to all their contacts.

This hara$$ment has caused many problems in Nigeria, as some people even lose their jobs because of embarra$$ment and disgrace.

We do not agree with that kind of practice because customers are being hara$$ed, even though it’s not directly our problem.

We have involved CBN, NITDA, EFCC, and the Human Rights Commission to form a committee to address the issue.

Since we found out that they operate online and have no physical offices or managing directors, we approached Google and Apple stores to take down all their Apps. We also coordinated with the CBN to block all their accounts.”

Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s $110 billion stock buyback announcement is the largest stock buyback program in recent history, beating its own record set in 2018.

The tech giant has made such dominant share repurchases that no other U.S. company has broken into the top five, and it ties with Chevron (CVX) for the sixth spot, according to data compiled by Birinyi Associates.

Buybacks for rivals don’t even compare. Meta Platforms’ (META) highest is $50 billion from earlier this year, while Google-parent Alphabet’s (GOOGL) peaks at $70 billion announced last week. Microsoft’s (MSFT) $60 billion share buyback announced in 2021 was its largest.

There are potentially big changes coming to homebuying and selling this summer, and while no one is sure exactly how everything will play out, there’s at least a date: Aug. 17. 

That’s the deadline for properties listed on real estate databases called Multiple Listing Services to remove an information box specifying how much buyers’ agents will make in commission when the home is sold, the National Association of Realtors said Friday. 

The NAR offered that and other details about how it will implement details of a historic settlement it reached this March, ending a class-action lawsuit by sellers that accused the NAR of colluding to keep agent fees high. Starting on that date, buyers working with an agent will have to sign an agreement before touring any properties together. 

Real estate agents and other experts say the changes could result in lower fees for agents representing buyers, or more people house-hunting on their own without one, among other possible changes to the homebuying process.
