Nairaland GeneralBuhari Challenges World Leaders To Return Nigeria’s Stolen Wealth Hidden In Thei by bams2999(op): 12:25pm On Sep 29, 2015
uhari challenges world leaders to return Nigeria’s stolen wealth hidden in their countries

President Muhammadu Buhari Monday in New York called on the international community to urgently redouble its efforts to strengthen mechanisms for dismantling safe havens for proceeds of corruption.

Addressing world leaders at the 70th General Assembly of the United Nations, President Buhari also urged his counterparts to do more to return stolen funds and assets to their countries of origin.

Observing that corruption, cross-border financial crimes, cyber crimes and human trafficking are major challenges of the 21st century which the international community must work collectively to overcome, President Buhari reaffirmed his administration’s determination to frontally confront the twin evils of corruption and illicit financial outflows.

“Let me reaffirm the Nigerian government’s unwavering commitment to fight corruption and illicit financial flows. By any consideration, corruption and cross border financial crimes are impediments to development, economic growth, and the realization of the well-being of citizens across the globe,” Mr. Buhari said.

“Nigeria is ready and willing to partner with international agencies and individual countries on a bilateral basis to confront crimes and corruption.

“In particular, I call upon the global community to urgently redouble efforts towards strengthening the mechanisms for dismantling safe havens for proceeds of corruption and ensuring the return of stolen funds and assets to their countries of origin.”

President Buhari also proposed the adoption of peace as a seventh essential element of the Sustainable Development Goals adopted last Friday by world leaders in New York.

“The Secretary General has grouped the SDGs into what he calls six “essential elements” namely: Dignity, Prosperity, Justice, Partnership, Planet and People.

“As a prerequisite to these and as we look at history and remember the terrible events that gave rise to the birth of the United Nations in 1945, I would like to propose a seventh: PEACE.

“Peace is close to the hearts of Nigerians, as we are in the front line in the war on terror. Boko Haram’s war against the people of Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Cameroon may not attract as much worldwide attention as the wars in the Middle East but the suffering is just as great and the human cost is equally high.

“This is a war between progress and chaos; between democracy and the rule of law. Boko Haram celebrates violence against the weak and the innocent and deplorably, they hide behind their perverted interpretation of Islam. Boko Haram is as far away from Islam as anyone can think of,” President Buhari declared.

The President assured the global community that his administration was doing all within its powers to quickly overcome the challenge of terrorism and insecurity.

“The new Nigerian Government which I have the honour to head, moved with dispatch to put in a bold and robust strategy to defeat Boko Haram. Nigeria and her neighbours Cameroon, Chad and Niger plus Benin are working together to face this common threat within the regional framework of the Lake Chad Basin Commission.

“We have established a multinational joint task force to confront, degrade and defeat Boko Haram. We have driven them away from many of their strongholds, killed or captured many of their operatives or commanders and freed several hundreds of hostages,” President Buhari told the General Assembly.

The President reassured the international community that rescuing the Chibok girls remains one of the major objectives of his administration.

“We are working round the clock to ensure their safety and eventual reunion with their families. The girls are constantly on our minds and in our plans,” he said.

President Buhari condemned the new and dangerous dimension which human trafficking has assumed in the world.

“We in Africa are grieved to see hundreds of our able bodied men and women dying in the desert or drowning in the Mediterranean.

“We condemn in the strongest terms these people traffickers and will support any measures to apprehend and bring them to justice,” the President said.

Noting that the world was witnessing a dreadful increase in conflicts fuelled by availability of small arms and light weapons, President Buhari
called on the international community to work towards the effective implementation of the Arms Trade Treaty to ensure that small arms and light weapons can only be legally transferred.

Reminding the global assembly that peaceful co-existence and self-determination were among the key principles that led to the establishment of the United Nations, President Buhari called for the urgent resolution of the question of self determination for the people of Palestine and Western Sahara.

“The international community has come to pin its hopes on resolving the Palestinian issue through the two – states solution which recognizes the legitimate right of each state to exist in peace and security.

“The world has no more excuses or reasons to delay the implementation of the long list of Security Council resolutions on this question. Neither do we have the moral right to deny any people their freedom or condemn them indefinitely to occupation and blockade,” the President said.

Nairaland GeneralRe: Don't Upgrade To Windows 10 On July 29 by bams2999(op): 9:10am On Jul 09, 2015
bams2999:
Don't Upgrade to Windows 10 on July 29

Don't upgrade immediately and get caught in the tangle of broken drivers, sluggish hardware, and bugs.



Windows 10 Ditches Patch Tuesday for Security's Sake

The most important event in the history of the desktop will be the end-of-the-month rollout of Windows 10. It will also be one of the most confusing moments in computer history.

OpinionsBecause Windows 10 is a free upgrade, the rollout will be a fiasco of epic proportions. The average consumer will want to upgrade to Windows 10 immediately because everyone is in a rush.

Just look at the lines outside Apple Stores every time a new iPhone is released. Who really needs to buy the new iPhone the second it goes on sale? No one. These days, you can waltz into the store later that afternoon, and pick up a device with no wait whatsoever.

Maybe the phenomenon is preparation for an economic downturn. The same idiots will be waiting in a bread line and say, "Naw. This line is nothing, you should have seen the line for the iPhone 4!" (A New Yorker cartoon beckons).

For Windows 10, the public will likely crash the system and prove, once again, that Microsoft cannot work the cloud properly. If you were happily running Windows 7 or 8 on Tuesday, why do you need to change to Windows 10 on Wednesday? You don't, but you'll try.

Of course Microsoft, like Apple, will use this failing as positive publicity: "We knew it would be popular, but not this popular. Wow."

Windows 10 Bug ArtI have advised people to get the upgrade after the first bug reports. You have one year to upgrade for free. There is no rush.

Another note of confusion has recently appeared in the news. Windows 10 may not work with old hardware. This seems to be targeted at older legacy graphics cards you might find in an XP box that was later upgraded to Windows 7. As far as I'm concerned, if Windows 7 runs on the machine, so should Windows 10. How hard can it be? My analysis is one thing, reality is another.

I have never fully understood how Microsoft goes from OS to OS while breaking drivers left and right. I wrote a whole column about Windows 7 not supporting my Epson printer and failing to recognize a NAS that Vista clearly saw.

I suspect that they have death panels in Redmond, where a committee decides to pull the plug on certain products by yanking the drivers from the Windows native support bundle. If you were using one of those products you are out of luck. Windows 10 will be the final arbiter. Get ready to make a dump run with gear you will never be able to use ever again.

There is another thing I must reiterate. Microsoft claims that Windows 10 will be the last Windows ever. This means one of three things: the company is planning on going broke in the next few years; it plans to incorporate a subscription-model perpetual OS upgrade scheme that has yet to be revealed; or it's simply dropping the Windows branding and there will be some sort of new name. I'll leave it to others to come up with jokes regarding future nomenclature.

Since this is an era of reboots and new beginnings, I predict that the next Microsoft operating system, the one to eventually replace Windows, will be called OS-1 or maybe just ONE. You watch.

10 Tips to Help You Get the Most Out of Windows 10


Windows 10 will be a big deal. Because of the free upgrades, it will be declared the "most popular version of Windows in history" in an attempt to generate positive buzz. The fact that Microsoft could dream up a trick like this should be lauded.

The Windows 10 code is not so radical that it will create much of a backlash like Vista did. In fact, it looks like Windows 8.2 to me. So it should be smooth sailing. But because there's little that is radically different, that again tells me there is no hurry to upgrade. Wait a few months. Do it over a weekend when you have time on your hands. And whatever your strategy, prepare to buy new peripherals.
