OPay has announced a fresh charge on electronic transfers into personal and business accounts in compliance with Federal Inland Revenue Service regulations.
Starting September 9, 2024, a one-time fee of N50 will be applied to transfers of N10,000 and above.
In a notice to its customers on Saturday, OPay stated, “Dear valued customers, please be informed that starting September 9, 2024, a one-time fee of N50 will be applied for electronic transfer of N10,000 and above paid into your personal or business account in compliance with the Federal Inland Revenue Service regulations.”
The company clarified that the charges are requirements from the government and not a source of revenue for the payment platform.
“It is important to note that OPay does not benefit from these charges in any way as it is directed entirely to the Federal Government,” the notice read.
The introduction of this fee follows the Federal government’s efforts to generate revenue from electronic transactions through FIRS regulation

By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
The EFCC and other security agencies in Nigeria are violators of human rights” Bobrisky says as he shares court filing praying the court to restrain security agencies from violating his rights.
Bobrisky, through his lawyer, had filed a petition in the Federal High Court of Nigeria to restrain the EFCC and other security agencies from harassing, arresting, detaining, or declaring the crossdresser wanted.
Bobrisky said that despite the court filing, the EFCC violently assaulted him and pulled him out of a plane that was about to tale off, which is a violation of his fundamental human right.
He said he now wants the world to see the security agencies in Nigeria for what they are.

Bread and butter activists: Wike not available for such adult delinquents-Olayinka slams Adeyanju
Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media to the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reiterated that the Minister will not give attention to “professional scammers and hustlers” who are masquerading as activists.
In a statement on Saturday, the Spokesperson to the FCT Minister said most of those jumping from one social media platform to another to speak against the FCT Minister were doing so because he ignored them and is making the “Yahoo Yahoo” antics through which they have sustained themselves to fail.
He said; “While growing up as a child in the hilly town of Okemesi Ekiti, one of the lessons I learned from my grandfather was never to wrestle with pigs. He was constantly telling us that the danger of wrestling with a pig will be that at the end of the fight, sane minds won’t be able to differentiate between you and the pig you fought with.
Therefore, as a matter of principle, we won’t dignify some people with any response.
“This is more so that we know how a certain emergency activist diverted election money to purchase a petrol station. We know how some so-called activists have fought themselves over protest money, including the one in 2019.
