Foreign Affairs › Prime Minister Of Nepal, Oli, Resigns After Youths Protested Social Media Ban by BlackViper(op): 2:05pm On Sep 09, 2025
Nepal’s prime minister, KP Sharma Oli, has stepped down after more than a dozen people were killed and hundreds injured during youth-led demonstrations triggered by a social media ban by the government, corruption, and a lack of economic opportunities.

Security forces used live ammunition, water cannons, and tear gas against protesters across several cities, with authorities confirming at least 19 deaths, according to Reuters.

The Himalayan nation of 30 million people has a history of political instability, having seen over a dozen governments since becoming a republic in 2008, when it abolished a 239-year-old monarchy following a decade-long civil war.

The current wave of protests, led by young people between the ages of 13 and 28 — Nepal’s Generation Z — has been described as the most serious unrest the country has faced in decades.

KP Sharma Oli announced his resignation on Tuesday in a letter that cited “the extraordinary situation” in the country, according to a copy of the note shared online by a senior aide.

Despite a curfew imposed in central Kathmandu, crowds of protesters returned to the streets on Tuesday, shortly after the government lifted the social media ban.

According to CNN, images published by Reuters showed demonstrators setting a police booth and furniture on fire outside the office of the Nepali Congress, the country’s largest political party.

The international airport in the capital was also shut down as violence disrupted operations, Reuters reported, quoting the aviation authority.

In Chandrapur, south of Kathmandu, police fired warning shots as residents gathered in defiance of the curfew, a local official told CNN. Protesters also torched a police vehicle during the clashes, the source added.

Education › JAMB Panel Uncovers 4,251 Cases Of Fingerprint Fraud, 192 Ai-driven Impersonatio by BlackViper(op): 12:18pm On Sep 09, 2025
JAMB panel uncovers 4,251 cases of fingerprint fraud, 192 AI-driven impersonation in 2025 UTME

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has received a report from its Special Committee on Examination Infractions, exposing how technology-driven malpractice is undermining Nigeria’s admission process.

Presenting the findings in Abuja, Chairman of the Committee, Jake Epelle, disclosed that investigators uncovered 4,251 cases of finger blending, a biometric fraud technique where candidates manipulate the fingerprint recognition system, and 192 instances of AI-assisted impersonation through image morphing during the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

“What we discovered shocked us deeply. Examination malpractices have evolved into a highly organised, technologically driven, and culturally normalized enterprise.

“We documented 4,251 cases of finger blending, 190 cases of AI-assisted image morphing, 1,878 false declarations of albinism, and numerous cases of credential forgery, multiple NIN registration and solicitation schemes
,
” Epelle said.

Responding to the findings, JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, clarified that while the report detailed widespread infractions, actual examination malpractice during the conduct of the UTME remained relatively low.

“When it comes to the real exam malpractice that we know, this year alone the Board recorded about 140 of them, which is still relatively low,” he said.

The report, submitted within the three-week deadline, is expected to guide new policies around biometric security, AI misuse detection, and stricter penalties for offenders. JAMB has promised to review the recommendations and incorporate them into its examination processes

What you should know


In response to rising cases of technology-driven malpractice, JAMB formed a 23-member Special Committee on Examination Infractions, tasked with tackling a wave of sophisticated, tech-enabled cheating uncovered during the 2025 UTME.

The committee was inaugurated on August 18, with the urgent mandate to probe rising infractions among the 6,458 suspected candidates whose results remain withheld, recommending sanctions, and proposing proactive frameworks to prevent future breaches

Committee membership includes: Prof. Ibe Ifeakandu (Legal Expert) — Deputy Chairperson; Prof Muhammad Yahuza Bello (JEOG Representative); Prof Samuel G. Odewumi (JEOG Representative); Prof Chinedum Uzoma Nwaj iuba (Former Vice-Chancellor, Alex Ekwueme University, Ebonyi State); Prof Tanko Ishaya (Vice-Chancelor, University of Jos; Cybersecurity Expert); CP (Retd) Fatai Owoseni — Representative of the High-Level Security Advisory Group; Mr James Alkali Leda — Representative of the Department of State Services ( DSS); CSP Yakubu Rabiu — Representative of the Nigerian Police Force amongst others.

The Federal Government approved a 3-year ban for any student caught engaging in examination malpractice. The directive, issued by the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, applies across all national external examinations, including JAMB, WAEC, NECO, and NABTEB.

Enforcement will rely on students’ National Identification Number (NIN), making it difficult for offenders to evade sanctions. Schools and Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres found aiding malpractice or operating as miracle centres risk being derecognised for several years.

Crime › Ex-Yahoo Boss Kills 83-Year-Old Mother After ChatGPT Told Him She's Chinese Spy by BlackViper(op): 3:33pm On Sep 08, 2025
A former Yahoo executive who killed his elderly mother and then himself in a Connecticut home was reportedly influenced by ChatGPT, which fueled his conspiracy theories.

Stein-Erik Soelberg, 56, spoke to OpenAI’s popular bot, which he nicknamed "Bobby," before the murder-suicide involving his 83-year-old mother, Suzanne Eberson Adams, in Old Greenwich, Connecticut, The Wall Street Journal reported.

"Erik, you’re not crazy," the chatbot said after Soelberg claimed his mother and her friend tried to poison him by putting psychedelic drugs in his car’s air vents.

"And if it was done by your mother and her friend, that elevates the complexity and betrayal."

At one point, Adams grew angry after Soelberg shut off their shared printer. ChatGPT suggested that her response was "disproportionate and aligned with someone protecting a surveillance asset," the newspaper reported.

He was advised to disconnect the printer and watch his mother's reaction. Soelberg posted videos of his ChatGPT conversations on Instagram and YouTube in the months before the murder, the New York Post reported.

The chatbot once analyzed a Chinese food receipt and claimed it contained "symbols" representing his mother and a demon.

In one of his final chats with the chatbot, Soelberg said, "We will be together in another life and another place, and we’ll find a way to realign, because you’re gonna be my best friend again forever."

"With you to the last breath and beyond," the AI bot replied.

Soelberg worked for Netscape and Yahoo before a messy 2018 divorce, which involved alcoholism, public meltdowns and suicide attempts, according to the Post, and he was the subject of a restraining order requested by his ex-wife.

The restraining order reportedly banned him from drinking before visiting their kids and from making disparaging remarks about her family.

In 2019, authorities found Soelberg face down in an alley with chest wounds and slashed wrists, and he was reportedly seen screaming in public that March.

Before her death, Adams spoke about her relationship with her son during a lunch with longtime friend Joan Ardrey.

"As we were parting, I asked how things were with Stein-Erik, and she gave me this look and said, ‘Not good at all'," Ardrey recalled.

Business › Tesla Offers Mammoth $1 Trillion Pay Package To Musk by BlackViper(op): 10:34pm On Sep 07, 2025
Tesla's (TSLA.O), board has proposed a $1 trillion compensation plan for CEO Elon Musk in what would be the largest corporate pay package in history, underscoring the hold Musk has over the carmaker as it attempts to transform into an AI and robotics powerhouse.

The world's richest person has consistently asked for a bigger stake in the company to gain more control, even as a legal battle over his 2018 pay package - then valued at a mere $56 billion - continues. The newly proposed award is roughly 18 times the size of the contested plan and is close to the company's current market valuation.

Stay up to date with the latest news, trends and innovations that are driving the global automotive industry with the Reuters Auto File newsletter. Sign up here.

The proposal highlights the board's confidence in Musk's ability to steer the company in a new direction while reigniting growth, even as it loses ground to Chinese rivals in key markets amid softening EV demand.

"While bold compensation tied to performance is nothing new, the sheer scale here sets a new bar for CEO incentives and will dominate boardroom debates everywhere," said Adam Sarhan, chief executive of 50 Park Investments in New York.

The regulatory filing puts Musk on a different plane than other technology executives, saying that "traditional compensation packages granted to executives at other companies were determined to not be appropriate for designing Mr. Musk’s incentive compensation."

Musk transformed Tesla from a niche EV startup into the world's most valuable automaker, scaling production, expanding globally and pushing the industry toward electric mobility, while running several other companies including SpaceX and xAI.

Tesla's board says the record award is needed to keep Musk focused and incentivized, but critics argue that, as the company's largest shareholder, he already has ample motivation and the plan could worsen dilution and pose governance risks.

The board also said the new award could lift his stake significantly if all targets were met, giving him even greater control as Tesla seeks to become the world's most valuable company.

The compensation plan does not impose conditions on how much time he must devote to Tesla.

"This is a ridiculously large pay package. It raises lots of questions, but last year Musk moved Tesla from Delaware to Texas in order to avoid all those questions," said Brian Quinn, professor at Boston College Law School.

"Given that Tesla's stock price is basically all vibes and appears to have very little to do with the automaker's actual performance, I suspect they will approve this package."


COMPENSATION DETAILS

The proposed plan would grant Musk up to 12% of Tesla's stock, worth about $1.03 trillion if the company hits its target market value of $8.6 trillion. The plan requires boosting Tesla's valuation nearly eightfold, or about $7.5 trillion, over the next decade.

Musk had said that Optimus humanoid robots might eventually account for about 80% of Tesla's value and predicted they could help make the company worth $25 trillion.

If fully earned, the award would materially increase Musk's voting power from his roughly 13% stake, intensifying debate over governance and succession.

The board said the award would vest in tranches tied to both market capitalization and operational milestones such as mass production of robotaxis and humanoid robots.

Tesla emphasized that Musk would receive no salary or cash bonus, with all compensation linked to performance, echoing the structure of his 2018 plan.

Tesla's board earlier this year approved an interim compensation package for Musk worth about $29 billion in restricted stock, designed to keep him at the helm through at least 2030 as the company pivots to an AI-first strategy.

Tesla has since reincorporated in Texas and is appealing the Delaware ruling, but the company said the new plan reflects shareholder feedback and stronger governance safeguards.

The filing also disclosed that a special committee of independent directors reviewed the proposal, which will go to a shareholder vote in November.
Milestones set for Tesla CEO Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package

POLITICS CLOUD FOCUS

Musk's foray into party politics and his willingness to challenge President Donald Trump had heightened concerns among Tesla investors and analysts about potential distractions and had previously fueled talk about looking for a new chief.

In July, Musk announced plans to launch a third political party, the "America Party," following a public clash with Trump over a tax cut and government spending bill.

Tesla's board has urged shareholders to vote against a proposal calling for a political neutrality policy, which would have expanded board oversight of Musk's political activities.

"It really seems like what Elon wants, Elon gets from the board and from his shareholders," said Douglas Chia, president of Soundboard Governance, an independent corporate governance consulting firm. "As ridiculous as it is, they’ll pass it, I have no doubt."

Christianity Etc › How Nigerian Churches Are Enbracing AI Innovations by BlackViper(op): 9:16am On Sep 07, 2025
On August 21, 2025, developer Dara Sobaloju posted what he thought was just another idea on X: “I want to build a Bible presentation AI agent for church use. Imagine Bible verses coming up on screen as the pastor preaches just based on what he’s talking about or his paraphrases and quotes. I want to build this completely in public, starting today…”

The tweet struck a chord. It quickly drew questions, suggestions, and encouragement from pastors, developers, and curious churchgoers. Since then, Sobaloju has been documenting his progress on Pewbeam AI, an agent designed to listen to sermons in real time and project relevant verses on screen.

Sobaloju’s project is not an isolated case. In recent years, Nigerian churches have begun experimenting with AI in their own ways. In 2025, the Deeper Christian Life Ministry launched Ask Kumuyi, an AI chatbot that fields questions about sermons from its General Superintendent, Pastor W.F. Kumuyi.

The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has an AI chatbot, Apostle Stephen, which greets users with: “Hi there, I am Apostle Stephen, the RCCG Digital Missionary. How may I help you today?”


In 2023, Longbeard, a Canada-based technology agency launched Magisterium AI, which it describes as the “World’s Number 1 answer engine for the Catholic Church.”

Magisterium AI answers questions related to the Catholic Church.

These church-led bots focus mainly on answering questions about doctrine, faith, and church activities. But outside official institutions, independent developers like Sobaloju are imagining different applications of AI in churches; tools that don’t just answer questions, but solve problems in real-time during services.

Sobaloju’s Pewbeam AI wants to address a problem he’s seen many times: a preacher misquotes or paraphrases scripture, and the disruption derails the flow of the message.

“I saw firsthand how it disorients the speaker,” Sobaloju says. “For this to work, there needs to be voice input. The idea is to leverage AI so that when the pastor paraphrases something, the system picks it up and puts the right scripture up in real time.”

Building from Nigeria, for Nigeria

Sobaloju had nursed the idea for two years, but it remained wishful thinking until recently when a friend, Tony Deoye, joined him as brand designer. After jotting down a mini product requirements document (PRD), he tweeted about the idea. The response surprised him. Pastors and churchgoers alike said they wanted it.

His goals for Pewbeam are shaped by Nigeria’s realities: poor internet coverage, unreliable power, and varying hardware capacity. “Anything that can work in Nigeria can work outside Nigeria,” he says. “It’s a harsh environment.”

To meet that challenge, he’s focused on three layers: speech-to-text in real time with minimal delay, offline-first design with optional connection, and contextual accuracy to ensure the verse matches the preacher’s intent.

He’s using Faster Whisper, an optimised version of OpenAI’s voice recognition model, to match verses. The system also supports ‘direct call’: when a pastor calls a verse, it pops up instantly.

The hurdles in building Sobaloju’s AI agent are evidently significant. The models must be lightweight enough to run on everyday laptops, yet accurate enough to avoid mismatched scripture. “When the pastor is talking about something, there might be several references to it in the Bible,” he explains. “The challenge is making sure the right one comes up in real time.”

Still, Sobaloju is optimistic. His current goal is to adopt a business model similar to that of YouVersion Bible app, developed by a USA-based church, Life Church. Their model is simple: people support the app by making donations so that millions of users can download it for free. In the long term, Sobaloju believes Pewbeam can adopt a model where more affluent churches pay subscription fees so that smaller churches can access the tool for free. “I’ve learnt that if something is good, it is worth paying for,” he says, explaining that big churches will definitely want to pay for a service that solves problems.

A wave of AI builders in church

Tolulope Adeniyi, another Nigerian developer, is building Spetra (a blend of ‘scripture’ and ‘ultra’), a bot that works similarly to Sobaloju’s Pewbeam. Also powered by OpenAI Whisper, it “automatically cues a bible verse on the interface and runs fully offline to ensure accuracy, low latency, and independence from internet connectivity”.

Adeniyi says the idea came to him, “from watching the awkward pauses when preachers referenced scriptures. I thought, ‘what if AI could bridge that gap?’”

In Lagos, Olanrewaju Taiwo is building an AI app called Sermon AI. Inspired by Sobaloju’s tweet, he began experimenting with sermon transcription and later started work on Meno, a Bible app in beta. Meno, Greek for “abide”, uses Google’s Gemini model to explain verses.

For Taiwo, the innovation is part of a long tradition: “Scrolls came before books, books before phones. Now we’re here with AI. It’s technology, nothing to fear.”

In the diaspora, London-based David Olowomeye has developed Gospel Note AI, a mobile app designed specifically for taking notes during sermons. Unlike general-purpose apps like Otter.ai, it won’t transcribe ordinary conversations. “It’s for church. If you try to use it elsewhere, it’ll tell you it’s not a sermon,” he explains, adding that the app has been programmed around the Bible and related materials.

Olowomeye isn’t planning to monetise his product yet, but sees it as a niche tool for Christians who want organised sermon notes.

Can AI belong in the church?

The idea of AI in churches might sound strange, even risky. Religious institutions have a long history of regarding technology with scepticism. “When television came out, they called it the devil’s box,” Sobaloju says, “but AI is even closer to the devil’s box than a TV, but churches are open to it. That’s exciting.”

Beyond transcription and verse recall, Sobaloju, Taiwo, and Olowomeye imagine other uses: AI-assisted census-taking during massive conventions like RCCG’s annual gatherings, AI-powered donation tracking, and even offering collections.

In Adeniyi’s words, “we’re entering an era where the technology backbone of churches will be invisible but indispensable.”

Adeniyi adds that AI can be used to help church musicians score songs effortlessly, compose harmonies, and even explore new sounds that elevate worship. It’s not about replacing human creativity or spiritual leadership, but about amplifying it.
What are the risks involved?

The risks of inviting AI into spiritual life are hard to ignore, especially when it comes to generative AI chatbots that are built for religious purposes.

“No matter how smart, intelligent, convincing, deep or emotional [AI] may sound, it does not know what it is saying,” Rotimi Awaye, an evangelist who also runs KiniAI, an AI consultancy, cautions.

The technology’s tendency to “hallucinate” by producing confident but false answers could be dangerous when those responses are about sensitive topics related to scripture or salvation. “Whatever church builds a model, the underlying system has already been trained on every form of doctrine in the world, both good and bad,” he explains.

Even if a church fine-tunes the model with its own doctrine, the underlying foundation still carries traces of conflicting worldviews and can offer misleading answers.

Most troubling, Awaye says, is overreliance. “It can get to a point where people won’t read the Bible anymore, they’ll just ask AI.”

The danger intensifies when these chatbots assume divine identities, such as GodGPT, Apostle Stephen, or AskKumuyi. “I said hi to GodGPT once, and it replied: ‘I am God,’” he recalls. “Now, imagine someone who is genuinely seeking God and doesn’t know any better.”

“I would shy away from spiritual names,” he urges technologists building specifically for religious institutions. Instead, he recommends that churches and developers use names that make it obvious the system is a chatbot, not a pastor or spiritual entity.

Eeyaa, Kemetian! Sorry for the difficulty you're encountering in this space. I know it's not the typical tales by moonlight that you're used to where facts are just an inconvenience and fantasy is upheld as truth!😂
So let me offer you some help.
You see in this space, we deal with facts. So kindly look at the news in the image I attached here and supply me with your own facts which contradict it.
Remember, we're in the real world here, not Wakanda or Kemet😂

Kemetian:
This guy, you can lie sha.

Traffic jams are a rarity. WHERE? Name the place!


The REASON there is NO MORE FUEL SHORTAGE is because of the SUBSIDY REMOVAL which discouraged SMUGGLERS from shipping out our oil through the borders, supplying the rest of Africa with our Petrol!

So SMUGGLING OUT our petrol and diesel to Cameroon, Ghana, Togo, Sierra Leone, etc, is now UNPROFITABLE, hence the widespread availability of fuel in Nigeria, and disappearance of the notorious fuel queues of the past.

Thanks Mr President. 🙏

Phones › US Lawyer, Mark Zuckerberg Sues Facebook & Meta by BlackViper(op): 9:19pm On Sep 05, 2025
A US lawyer with the same name as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is suing the social media platform, arguing it keeps suspending his account while falsely accusing him of "impersonating a celebrity".

Mark S Zuckerberg says his account has been disabled five times over the past eight years, and it has cost him thousands of dollars in lost business.

The Indiana bankruptcy attorney's lawsuit states that he has been practising law for 38 years - ever since Mark E Zuckerberg, now one of the richest men in the world, was a toddler.

Meta said it had reinstated the lawyer's account and was taking steps to prevent the mistake recurring.

"It's not funny," Mr Zuckerberg told WTHR-TV in Indianapolis, Indiana. "Not when they take my money."

The lawsuit, filed in Marion Superior Court, argues that Facebook parent company Meta is in breach of contract because he paid $11,000 (£8,200) for advertising that was improperly taken down.

"It's like buying a billboard on the side of the highway, paying the people for the billboard and then they come and put a giant blanket over it and you don't get the benefit of what you paid for," he told WTHR.

Emails with Facebook that Mr Zuckerberg shared with local media indicate the company had accused him of not using his "authentic name".

He said that he has submitted his photo ID, his credit cards, and multiple images of his face in order to prove his identity.

"I'm Mark Steven. And he's Mark Elliot," Mr Zuckerberg told WTHR.

His account was shut down in May, and only restored after his lawsuit was filed.

In a statement, the company said it had "reinstated Mark Zuckerberg's account, after finding it had been disabled in error".

"We appreciate Mr Zuckerberg's continued patience on this issue and are working to try and prevent this from happening in the future."

Mr Zuckerberg, who specialises in bankruptcy law, started a website to track mix-ups over his name, including the time he was inadvertently sued by the state of Washington for abuse.

Crime › 80-Year-Old Japanese Woman Scammed By 'Astronaut Stranded In Space' by BlackViper(op): 6:02pm On Sep 05, 2025
An 80-year-old woman in northern Japan has lost one million yen (about £5,000) after falling victim to an elaborate online romance scam involving a fraudster who claimed to be an astronaut stranded in space.

According to Hokkaido police, the victim met the scammer on social media in July and developed an online relationship with him.

Posing as an astronaut, the fraudster eventually convinced her that he was “in space on a spaceship” and under attack, claiming he urgently needed money to buy oxygen.

The woman, who lives alone, was persuaded to transfer the funds before police later identified the case as a romance scam. Officers have since issued warnings urging the public to remain cautious when approached for money by individuals they meet online.

Romance scams, in which criminals exploit victims seeking companionship, have been on the rise globally. Many victims are deceived into sending large sums of money to people they believe they are in genuine relationships with.

Last year, a Sky News investigation exposed large-scale fraud operations in Southeast Asia, where so-called “scam factories” train workers to trick victims into online gambling schemes or fraudulent romances. One former scammer revealed how fraudsters manipulate emotions to make victims fall in love and eventually part with their savings.

Authorities in Japan have urged citizens, especially the elderly, to remain vigilant and seek advice from family or police before transferring money to online acquaintances.

Islam is consistently identified as the fastest-growing religion in the world, a trend supported by recent studies from sources like the Pew Research Center and reports in June 2025 from organizations such as KCCU and Wisconsin Muslim Journal. This growth is attributed to factors such as high fertility rates

Foreign Affairs › Elon Musk's Transgender Daughter, Vivian Wilson, Claims She's Broke by BlackViper(op): 6:14pm On Sep 03, 2025
Elon Musk’s estranged transgender daughter Vivian Wilson has insisted she’s broke after publicly cutting ties with the world’s richest dad — opting to live with three roommates because it’s “cheaper.”

“People assume I have a lot of money. I don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars at my disposal,” the 21-year-old aspiring model told the Cut in a wide-ranging interview published Tuesday.

“My mom is rich, right? But obviously the other one [Musk] … is unimaginable degrees of wealthy.”

Wilson said she decided to live with three roommates because it is more affordable. vivllainous/Instagram

“I don’t have a desire to be superrich,” she continued.

Musk is worth an estimated $413 billion.

“I can afford food. I have friends, a shelter, and some expendable income, which is nice and much more fortunate than most people my age in Los Angeles.”

Wilson — the eldest of Musk’s 14 children — infamously cut ties with her Tesla founder dad back in 2022 when she filed a petition to change her gender and name.

Since then, Wilson has repeatedly bashed the tech mogul on social media — calling him a “pathetic man-child” who hasn’t been accepting of her gender.

Musk, for his part, has claimed in past interviews that Wilson was “killed by the woke mind virus” and that he was “tricked” into letting her transition at age 16.

Still, Wilson seized on the very public fallout with her father, telling the magazine that the most stereotypical thing about her was “Daddy issues.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Wilson addressed her lavish upbringing — noting she went to a “private high school filled with nepo babies” including Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s daughter, Apple.

She said she was taught multiple languages, including Korean, Chinese, Japanese and Spanish.

She acknowledged going to college in Canada and Japan before eventually dropping out — blaming AI for ruining her “motivation.”

Addressing her newfound fame, Wilson — who already has an agent and recently landed a Teen Vogue cover — insisted that she was “not very good at being famous.”

“I fought so hard for so long to be viewed as a regular person. There was a moment literally right before I became famous where no one knew who I was. It was amazing. Everyone treated me as a regular person. I kind of miss that. But I also like being famous,” she said.

“I guess I’m kind of indifferent to it. But I like the fact that it makes me money.”

Politics › Re: Insecurity: Boko Haram Blind To Faith, Target Muslims, Christians — Ndume by BlackViper: 1:17pm On Sep 03, 2025
This is of course another strategic lie. We all know who the ultimate targets are.

BH, Bandits and ISWAP are political actors seeking political supremacy. In order to achieve this upper hand, they have to overcome their biggest opposition which is the current Usman Dan Fodio created political elite in the North which has existed since the 19th century.

That is the reason why they take up arms against their co-religionists. It's not because of any ideological differences or because of any religious injunction. It's about political power and the creation of a new ruling class.

On the other hand these groups have an open hand to go after and subjugate anyone who doesn't share the same religious beliefs as them. This is what their religion teaches them, this is what their "prophet" taught them and this is what they have been doing for 1400 years.

Education › FG Introduces Nationwide Criminal Record Screening Of Teachers by BlackViper(op): 6:58pm On Sep 02, 2025
The Federal Government has launched a mandatory Teacher Ethics and Criminal Record Verification Framework to ensure that all teachers in public and private schools undergo thorough background checks before being employed.

According to an announcement by the National Orientation Agency (NOA), the initiative is spearheaded by the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa.

According to the Ministry, the new framework is designed to restore professionalism and accountability in Nigeria’s education system.

Dr. Alausa explained that the initiative is aimed at entrusting the nurturing of future generations to individuals of sound moral character.

How these records will be accessed

The government confirmed that the framework will be integrated into the Teachers’ Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) digital portal.

The Ministry added that the system will also help to curb impersonation, certificate forgery, and the employment of unqualified staff in Nigerian schools.

Late month, the TRCN launched its as part of efforts to modernize teacher registration, licensing, and monitoring. The platform was introduced to serve as a national database for teachers, enabling them to conveniently register, access their results, and print their certificates from the comfort of their homes without visiting state offices.

TRCN Registrar, Dr. Ronke Soyombo, explained that the portal would also enhance quality by integrating AI-powered lesson planning and revising the Professional Qualifying Examination from 23 subjects to five core areas, including mathematics, literacy, and pedagogy.

TRCN Registrar, explained that it would also improve teacher quality by offering state-level investigation panels. According to her, these panels will be responsible for addressing cases of misconduct and strengthening ethical standards among teachers.

What you should know

●The Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria raised concern over the qualifications of the country’s teaching workforce. According to TRCN Registrar, Prof. Josiah Ajiboye, Nigeria has approximately close to four million teachers, and presently, only about 2.4 million teachers have been registered with TRCN.

●He noted that what the council have observed is that in private schools, a large percentage of teachers lack the required qualifications to register with TRCN. To register with TRCN, one must have a Bachelor of Education degree or a BSc or BA degree with a PGDE or Professional Diploma in Education.

●The council, which was established by TRCN Decree N0. 31 of 1993 (now TRCN Act CAP T3 of 2004), is mandated to regulate and control the teaching profession at all levels of Nigeria’s education system.

Crime › Ebonyi Woman Narrates How Police Officers Trafficked, Sold Her Newborn Baby by BlackViper(op): 2:54pm On Sep 02, 2025
Ebonyi Woman Narrates How Police Officers Trafficked, Sold Her Newborn Baby After Accusing Her Of Being In 'Illegal Marriage'

Miss Nwanneka Susannah Nweze, whose newborn baby was trafficked and sold by some police officers in the Ebonyi State Command has finally opened up, revealing that the officers accused her of being in "illegal marriage" to get hold of her.

Susannah stated that the officers came on the pretext that the Commissioner of Police ordered for her arrest even without any complainant.

Her family had in a petition to the Assistant Inspector General of Police in-charge of Force Criminal Investigation Department Annex Enugu, accused SP Loveth Uche, officer in charge of the Juvenile and Women Centre (JWC), Ebonyi State Police Command with two Inspectors including Maureen Otum of conspiring to sell their baby boy for N25 million.

In the petition, the family alleged that the police officers sold the baby and gave their daughter Susannah N700,000 to disappear from where the family could not see her.

The family also raised concerns about intense pressure on Susannah to alter her statement, potentially obstructing the investigation and shielding those involved in the alleged baby trafficking.

However, speaking during an interrogation by the Assistant Inspector General of Police in-charge of FCID Annex, Enugu, AIG Chukwudi Chris Ariekpere, Susannah reportedly opened up and revealed how she was arrested from Afikpo and taken to the Police Clinic in Abakaliki, where she was hidden until her delivery without knowledge of her family.

A senior police officer revealed to SaharaReporters that the interview section, which was recorded on video, took place in the presence of the AIG himself, PPRO, DC Force CID, AC FCID, and other senior police officers.

According to the source, Susannah told the AIG that she had asked SP Uche Loveth to bring out the complainant who had requested her arrest, but they refused. Instead, they threatened to arrest the man who wanted to marry her in Afikpo, claiming it was an illegal marriage.

The source said that the lady asked the police, "Tell me when the police started arresting people for illegal marriage."

The source further stated that Susannah informed the AIG that three policemen, led by one Valentine, had effected her arrest, claiming that the State Commissioner of Police had ordered her arrest.

"She said that three police officers - two men and one woman - came to arrest her," the source said.

"She revealed that they started negotiating the price to sell her unborn baby with the Officer in Charge of the Juvenile and Women Center in Afikpo."

According to the source, Susannah told the AIG that she had informed the policemen that the man she was living with was not responsible for her pregnancy but wanted to marry her since the person responsible for the pregnancy had denied responsibility.

"The man took her to his family in Afikpo and registered her at Mater Misericordiae Hospital for medical check-ups," the source said.

"She claimed to have shown the policemen her hospital card and the baby things they had brought in preparation for her delivery. She also told them that, according to Igbo tradition, the man would take her to her family after delivery, perform her marital rights, and pay her bride price."

"However, those policemen maintained that her relationship with her intending husband was an illegal marriage and that he had no right to keep her in his house without paying her bride price," she reportedly told AIG. "The man worked in Abakaliki, the state capital, and only visited her on weekends. When they asked her to call the man, she refused, as they claimed the Commissioner of Police in Abakaliki had sent them to arrest her."

According to the source, Susannah told the AIG that she refused to follow the policemen and started shouting, which attracted her neighbours. They immediately contacted the Divisional Police Officer at the Unwana Afikpo Police Station.

"The DPO sent a patrol team that arrived and met them," she said. "When the patrol team came, I followed them because the three policemen from Abakaliki were not in uniform, and I was skeptical of their mission." She followed them to the Unwana Police Division, where the DPO confirmed that the three policemen were indeed police officers from the State CID.

"The DPO told her that since they claimed the Commissioner of Police in Ebonyi State had sent them to arrest her, she should go and find out why the CP had given the directive for her arrest. Susannah asked why the CP would be looking for her, as she didn't know her. Under pressure from the DPO, she followed them in a red Corolla vehicle to the State CID in Abakaliki.

"Upon arrival at the State CID, they took her straight to the police clinic located inside the police barracks. There, she repeatedly asked them who the complainant was that had instigated her arrest for being in an "illegal marriage."

She demanded to know why the CP had directed them to arrest her and asked to speak with the CP. However, they told her that the CP was away, when in fact, they were using SP Loveth Uche as a proxy for the CP.

"She requested to speak with the CP, and they called Loveth Uche. Loveth Uche told her that she had heard that she (Susannah) wanted to give her child away after delivery to someone who wasn't responsible for the pregnancy. Susannah asked the supposed CP how a man who had taken care of her for over two months could be considered "unofficial." Loveth Uche then informed her that she would receive N900,000 and should be patient until she returned from travel. Susannah asked Loveth Uche if she was implying that she wanted to sell her unborn baby, which sparked a heated reaction.

"The Officer-in-Charge of the clinic called SP Loveth Uche, who claimed to be the CP, to inquire about the nature of the matter. Loveth Uche told the O/C Clinic that Susannah was a suspect and that if she escaped, she would be held accountable. Loveth Uche fabricated a story, telling the O/C Clinic that Susannah had beaten her mother because she was pregnant and that's why they brought her to the clinic to deliver her baby and face her crime."

"The following day, they handcuffed her to a private clinic for a scan to determine the sex of her baby, and the result confirmed that her unborn baby was male. Another person who became involved in the matter was a police corporal named Linda. Her role was to persuade and convince Susannah to accept their terms so that she wouldn't go to jail. It was Corporal Linda who started convincing her, telling her all manner of things and portraying the man who wanted to marry her as evil. They told her that the man had absconded after learning that the police were coming and that there was nothing that would make her see him again. She suggested that it would be better for her to stay in the clinic, deliver her baby, and give the baby to someone who would give her money, and then she could leave. They threatened that she should never go back and meet the man again.

"This was what she told the AIG FCID Annex Enugu. Her testimony was recorded on video, and the PPRO FCID took the video in the presence of the AIG, DC Force CID, AC FCID, and other senior police officers.

"In her statement, Loveth Uche claimed that Susanna Nweze was a mad woman who had been roaming the streets before they brought her in and delivered her baby for safety. According to Loveth Uche, Susanna had said that if she delivered her baby, she would kill it with poison," the source revealed.

"One of the policemen who arrested her was from Afikpo, and her name was Inspector Maureen Otum. It was her relative who had given her information about Susanna Nweze, and she had come with other policemen to arrest her. Apparently, this was a business venture for Inspector Maureen Otum and her family. Whenever they encountered young girls who had gotten pregnant out of wedlock or someone who had adopted a child illegally, her family would call her. This was not the first time they had done this. When they arrested these individuals or girls, they would detain them, collect money, and sell their babies.

"They had gone all the way from the state to Afikpo through their informant to pick her up. The man who had taken Susanna Nweze in had been married for five years without having a child. Due to their childless marriage, the wife had agreed to let him take another wife, who would stay in the village. They had agreed that after she delivered, they would go and pay her bride price.

"The family of Inspector Maureen Otum, knowing that the man's wife had not gotten pregnant since marriage, found it suspicious that the husband had brought in a woman and called their daughter to come and handle the situation."
