That's how you identify kids born and raised in troubled and unstable homes. They always have severe social disorder.

You are right. Intelligence also suggests that Buhari and Co are soliciting for campaign funds from some Arab millionaires. This is why the whole APC family is in UK and left behind the pastor osibanjo. Amechi has spent so much he wouldn't want to be shortchanged by Tinubu in the event that APC succeeds in raising funds from these Arabs. Tinubu has a penchant of not disclosing all campaign funds raised. On another note, Lai Mohamed is in dubai on d same mission of begging for funds. Who says APC is not an Islamic party. Osibanjo will soon become synonymous with "tool" as he is just being used.

She should have said the identity of the 14 Ghosts that are standing trial are being kept secret.

15,000 ‘ghost’ pensioners collect N2bn annually – Okonjo-Iweala
February 26, 2015 by Friday Olokor, Abuja

The Federal Government on Thursday said it had blocked loopholes in the old pension administration scheme, where over 15,000 ghost pensioners were included in government payroll system.

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said this at a forum for stakeholders organised by the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate, where pensioners and other stakeholders in the pension system gathered to interact.

According to her, the Federal Government has been able to save N2.1bn annually in less than two years after the establishment of PTAD.

At the event, the Director-General of PTAD, Ms. Nellie Mayshak, said the major success of the agency was checking dubious financial transactions in commercial banks, which pensioners’ funds were hitherto channelled for personal gains.

Mayshak said PTAD, through its establishment, has taken advantage of the ICT to consolidate on the erstwhile pension offices, comprising Civil Service, Pension, Police Pension, Customs, Immigration and Prisons pension/pension boards of trustees of all parastatals funded by the Federal Government.

PTAD, an agency of the Federal Government, was established in August 2013 in compliance with the provisions of Section 30 sub-section (2) (a) of the Pension Reform Act of 2004 (now replaced by the Pension Reform Act,2014.

Okonjo-Iweala said 14 individuals, whose identity she kept secret, were currently standing trial in the law court over the pensions probe initially carried out by the National Assembly in 2013, in which N32bn was allegedly squandered.

While receiving commendations for bringing sanity into the pension scheme, Okonjo-Iweala said through the Government Integrated Financial Management Information Systems, PTAD had been able to consolidate several accounts in commercial banks, holding pension funds, that had been prone to looting to three or four.

To further boost transparency and accountability in the pensions system, the minister said a nationwide verification process and biometric data capture for all pensioners had commenced with Police Pensioners from the North and South-West completed.

“These interventions have led to concrete, real life improvements in the lives of our pensioners. For example, the Civil Service Pension, which has the bulk of pensioners managed by PTAD, has seen the removal of over 15,000 duplicated or ghost pensioners from its payroll, leading to savings of about N2.1bn annually,” she stated.

But representatives of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners, who were also at the forum, urged government to offset about 42 months pension arrears, including the 33 per cent pension increase.

South Korea’s Constitutional Court has thrown out 60-year-old statute
outlawing adultery under which those found guilty face up to two years in
prison.

The nine-member bench ruled by seven to two says the 1953 law was
unconstitutional in a judgement handed down on Thursday.

The court held that adultery was a private matter in which the State
should not intervene.

According to the presiding judge, Park Han-Chul “even if adultery should
be condemned as immoral, state power should not intervene in
individuals’ private lives.”

It was the fifth time the Apex court had considered the constitutional
legality of the legislation which had made South Korea one of the few
non-Muslim countries to regard marital infidelity as a criminal act.

In the past six years, close to 5,500 people have been formerly arraigned
on adultery charges – including nearly 900 in 2014.

The numbers had been falling, with cases that end in prison terms
increasingly rare.

In 2004, 216 people were jailed under the law in 2004. That figure had
dropped to 42 by 2008, and since then only 22 have found themselves
behind bars, according to figures from the state prosecution office.
