Skye Bank
                                         SKYE BANK
The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has extended guarantees to Skye Bank for another year while it considers the bank’s recapitalisation proposal, Skye said in a statement on Tuesday.
In 2016, the Central Bank shored up Skye Bank with a N100 billion ($328 million) capital injection, after sacking its top management for failing to meet minimum capital requirements. It then appointed a new management team for Skye.
In a statement on Tuesday, Skye Bank said it had recovered N60 billion naira in bad loans, closed some branches and sold four subsidiaries to boost capital in the past year.
Trouble started for Skye Bank after it used short-term funds to buy local lender Mainstreet Bank in 2014 but failed to raise fresh cash, Reuters reports. It was in talks with shareholders and investors last year to raise N30 billion but suspended the plans when weak oil prices hit capital markets and drove foreign investors away.
“The bank continues to require assistance from central bank and government as it repairs the damage inflicted on the institution in the past and charts a sustainable path forward for the bank,” Skye Bank said in the statement.
“We have also reached settlement and restructuring agreements with many of the chronic bad debtors resulting in substantially improved payments and prospects of future recoveries,” it added.
Skye in 2015 recorded pre-tax loss and had submitted its 2016 accounts for approval.
Due to the size of total deposits it holds after it acquired Mainstreet Bank, the Central Bank designated Skye as one of Nigeria’s systemically important banks. This means it has to increase its capital ratio to 16 per cent, the industry average.

I want to be the next president of Nigeria. My own won’t be this change that has brought nothing, we are going to represent the people well and tell them the truth.”

        List details five little-known but useful functions associated with cell phones.
There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.  Check out the things that you can do with it:
FIRST:   Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112.
If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency,
dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out...

SECOND: Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry?   This may come in handy someday.
Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end, your car will unlock.
 Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you, distance is no object, you could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has  the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk)...  It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a mobile phone! '

THIRD:   Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your mobile battery is very low, to activate, press the keys *3370# your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.

FOURTH:   How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?                                                                                
To check your Mobile phone`s serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 #, a 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset, write it down and keep it somewhere safe.  When your phone gets stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code, they will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless.
 You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either.  If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

FIFTH: ATM - PIN Number Reversal - Good to Know
If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your PIN # in reverse. For example, if your pin number is 1234, then you would put in 4321.
The ATM system recognizes that your PIN number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine.   The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to the location.

This information was recently broadcast on CTV by Crime Stoppers however it is seldom used because people just don't know about it...
This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so comment and share it to your family and friends.
