FESTAC IS ALREADY BUILT, SO HE IS COMING TO COLLECT LAND PEOPLE ALREADY PAID FOR ANB BUILT, COLLECT TAX, RE BUILD AND ADD TO HIS FAMILY ESTATE.

FESTAC MARKET WAS BUILT BY FHA AND SOLD BY FHA, TINUBU APC CAME ALONG, DEMOLISH IT AND THEN REBUILT IT AND ASK SAME PEOPLE TO COME AND BUY IT AGAIN. THAT FESTAC MARKET WAS NEWLY BUILT BY FHA IN THE LATE 1990s 2000s.

I was born and raised in Festac. How about you?

Most of the buildings are usually business premises built on areas designated as playgrounds, car parks or green areas.

My mum was a victim of Festac demolition in 1994. Thirty years later and illegality is still occurring.

I do not understand the infraction or fault committed by Airpeace. Pleasesomeoneshould explain it to me...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_flight_bag

In the letter, the NCAA said the UK CAA had called its attention to the no operational approval of Electronic Flight Bag functions affecting the safe operation of the aircraft, while adding that the captain of the flight admitted that an Electronic Flight Bag was being used for navigational purposes.

NCAA further noted that the CAA stated in its letter that there was “no mounting device for the use of EFB, no charging points or battery for backup.”

They are picking on Airpeace because of the role the boss played during the visit of Harry and his wife Meghan Merkel to Nigeria.

Check it and you will see it clearly.

You are the petty one.

The NCAA stated in the letter that it received a SAFA Ramp Inspection Report numbered CAA-UK-2024-0217 which was conducted at London Gatwick on April 7, 2024, at 09:33 local time ‘on your B777-200 aircraft with registration Number 5N-BE (S/N 28324).

Business / Flutterwave Loses ₦11 Billion In Security Breach by aieromon(m): 3:14pm On May 16
One month after obtaining a court order to recover $24 million lost to unauthorised POS transactions, Flutterwave suffered another security breach that allowed unknown persons to divert billions of naira to several bank accounts.

The perpetrators illegally transferred ₦11 billion ($7 million) to several accounts in April 2024, one financial services insider with direct knowledge of the incident said. A second insider claimed the amount involved was at least ₦20 billion ($13.5 million).

“As is common in the financial services industry, there will always be attempts by bad actors to compromise the security of systems set up to protect and monitor services,” Flutterwave said in a statement to TechCabal.

“In April, we detected unauthorized activities inconsistent with usual customer behavior on one of our platforms used by a small subset of our customer base.”

Flutterwave did not specify the amount involved but insisted that “no customer funds were lost or compromised, and the confidentiality of our customers’ data remains intact.”

However, one highly-placed person with knowledge of the incident said that the stolen funds were moved to several accounts in five financial institutions over four days. The incident likely went undetected because the perpetrators ensured the deposits remained below limits that would trigger fraud checks.

The matter has been reported to law enforcement and investigations have begun, said the same person who asked not to be named.

Two executives in the financial services industry confirmed the incident and said Flutterwave reached out to request KYC details of the accounts involved. They also claimed that the accounts related to the incident have been temporarily restricted.

In similar system breaches, perpetrators conceal the movement of funds by sending money to the bank accounts of several hundred unsuspecting users. The details of those users are typically obtained online or using social engineering and fed into programs that automate bulk transfers.

However, April’s breach appears distinct. An organised network may have been involved in the distribution, said a highly placed staff at a financial institution.

“The perpetrators appeared to transfer the money to random accounts but these same accounts would also transfer money to other accounts who then sent it back to the first beneficiary account, [in a sort of round trip].”

This closed-loop approach differs from past attempts to hide the trail using unconnected outsider accounts.

This is the fourth incident of unauthorised transfers at Flutterwave reported in the last fourteen months. In October 2023, about 6,000 account holders across 35 banks and financial institutions received ₦19 billion (*$24 million) illegally transferred through unauthorised transactions by POS merchants.

In March 2023, about 107 bank accounts in 27 banks received ₦550 million. In a February 2023 breach, ₦2.9 billion was diverted to 107 bank accounts in 27 banks, according to court documents seen by TechCabal.

Identifying the account owners involved in the latest incident may be easier than before since the Central Bank mandated all financial institutions to require all customers to provide their bank verification number (BVN) or a national identification number (NIN) for account or wallet opening by March 2024. In February, Flutterwave received a court order—a Mareva injunction— that lets it recover the funds and assets of the identified account holders, even though they have spent the funds, with the KYC details provided by these financial institutions.

MDCN issues practicing licence. A doctor that intends to renew his annual licence should not be forced to pay association levies (building levy especially angry ) before MDCN will issue his/her licence to practice for the year.

This judgement will influence decisions of other professionals who are stifled with various forms of ridiculous levies by their professional associations.

I own a Camry, specifically asian spec with 1AZ engine. It has 12 VIN numbers engraved on it and I want to know if this is normal and how to read them. I’d like any help.

Vehicles produced for the Japanese market come with a 12 digit chassis/frame number. The first part of the number identifies the model and engine type while the second part is usually a serial number.

My guess is that this is a Taiwanese model.

Good morning guys
Pls I want to know if with this power station I ca get up to 6 hours standby of power with this product .
Starlink consume 100 watts there about

Simple math
Number of hours = Capacity of battery in wH / Power rating of appliance

148 divided by 100 gives 1.48 hours.

You need a portable power station with a battery capacity of 600wh or more to get 6 hours + backup.

Politics / Re: 2027: Planned Mega Party On Course, Says Utomi by aieromon(m): 9:54am On May 10
Prof always in the news with megaparty plans.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) says Pat Utomi, a professor of political economy, should not be taken seriously over plans to form a new political party.

Last week, Utomi said he has held talks with Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso over the possibility of forming a new political party that would give the APC a run for its money.

He said the new party will be a clean start, with clear ideologies and agenda.

In a statement on Monday, Felix Morka, APC spokesperson, said Utomi’s previous plans to float political parties never materialised.

Politics / Breaking: Ikeja Electric Slashes Tariff For Band A Customers by aieromon(m): 10:45am On May 06
Ikeja Electric Distribution Company (IE) has announced the reduction of its electricity tariff for customers under Band A from N225/kWh to N206.80/kWh.

In a circular signed by the management of the company on Monday, IE said the customers will now pay N206.80/kwh, rather than the stipulated N225/kwh ordered by the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).

According to the statement, IE guaranteed to provide 20 to 24 hours of electricity to users under this Band, adding that the tariff for customers under other categories will remain the same.

“Dear Esteemed Customers

“Please be informed of the downward tariff review of our Band A feeders from N225/kwh to N206.80/kwh effective 6th May 2024 with guaranteed availability of 20-24hrs supply daily.The tariff for Bands B, C, D, and E remains unchanged.

“Signed: Management.”

The information is not in public domain, can't find it on their website. But I am suspecting that every prepaid customer in all bands are currently being charged 102 naira per kwh.

There is a reason why their website is silent on tariff information.

As for the tariff, you did not factor VAT in your calculations.
(1400 - 97.67)/13.7 ~~ ₦95

In contrast, Ossiomo Power in Benin offers 24/7 light at a rate of ₦145/kWh.

You are wrong! Do you know more than abapower staff? There is a weekly radio programmed aired live on Magic fm here in Aba for abapower to inform the public. They are under NERC regulations and tariff.

1. What is the tariff rate for the different Bands under their franchise?

2. On the NERC website, all Band A feeders for 11 DISCOs are listed. Why is APL missing?
https://nerc.gov.ng/media/nerc-approves-new-band-a-feeders/

Sure, NERC regulates the power industry in Nigeria. However, NERC does not have the powers to fix tariffs for private entities.

The Nigerian power industry is transiting from service-based tariff plus government subsidy to cost reflective tariff. Geometric will buy gas at premium price to power their turbines so why should they subsidise cost of kWh for its end users?

I can't give the correct tariff for those in band A but Abapower said on radio that they are not implementing the 225 naira. So it should be less than 200 naira.

The more you look, the less you see.

Get ready.

aieromon:

Aba Power Electric Company is 100% private like NESCO in Jos and Ossiomo in Benin City. Their rates are cost reflective.
