Sorry ma!

A white lady Michelle has taken to social media to expose/blast a 23-yr old Nigerian guy who scammed her.According to her, Fisayo Michael Olagunju also known as Hypemasterfish & McFish from Lagos scammed her despite her being diagnosed of cancer.Below is what she wrote...

'I am posting this to address an issue that has grown to be a huge industry throughout the world and I ask you to share this with everyone you know. This is Fisayo Michael Olagunju also known as Hypemasterfish & McFish, he is a 23 yr. old educated male from Lagos, Nigeria.  He is a scammer and has spent 2 years working his art on me.  He caught me right after being diagnosed with cancer in 2014.  He waited till I was in my 4th month of chemo and then worked hard to profit from my condition.  This story is long and complicated; he had an answer for anything and a plan for every occasion.  He even used what was supposed to be a confession and apology promising to pay as a further opportunity to further his practices.  There is no reaching these individuals.  I managed to force him to sign a contract promising to pay me back but had to hire an attorney before I could get the first of what would be 25 payments.  It suddenly became nothing more than a bill for him.  One that he could only say that he would try his best to pay but this is a phrase he loved to use when he knew full well that he had every intention of reneging on it.  I had made a requirement to give back by doing voluntary work to see how serious he was as to his actions in scamming me.  This was dismissed as he went to spend his weekend with friends so he could be HAPPY.  Victims are not always able to identify their scammer, so I am not going to let this go as a simple bill, I am going to prosecute.  Individuals are rarely prosecuted because the system is ill-equipped to handle this issue.  Michael has suddenly vanished from Instagram but he can’t totally vanish. I ask your help to ensure that Michael comes to justice; I will never see the money I have lost but Michael should not be allowed to further his ambitions to harm others'.

NAF SUCCESSFULLY TEST FIRES ANOTHER LOCALLY WEAPONIZED A-JET AIRCRAFT

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) successfully test fired another locally weaponized Alpha Jet aircraft acquired from overseas without weapon delivery capability. The latest feat makes the third Alpha Jet aircraft to be so reconfigured and weaponised locally. The NAF, at the heat of the Boko Haram insurgency, had acquired three Alpha Jets aircraft from private individuals in the United States however without combat capability. Subsequent efforts to use foreign vendors to re-militarise the aircraft proved abortive for several reasons. The challenge led the NAF to look inward for solution locally by assembling a team of engineers and technicians designated NAF “Technical Response Team (TRT)” comprising serving and retired NAF personnel, and civilians. The team, has since its inauguration, achieved tremendous successes that have greatly enhanced the operational capability of the NAF, especially with respect to the ongoing fight against the Boko Haram insurgency in the North East, as well as saved huge foreign exchange for the nation. One other major feat achieved with the latest reconfigured aircraft is its ability to fire rockets and bombs from both the East and West blocks.

As shared by Arrington Jesusisworkingforme Ballah on Facebook...


'This guy is alleged to be a member of a robbery group that has a black four-door pickup moving around Monrovia. Unfortunately, on Monday, August 15,2016 they had an unsuccessful mission that led him to how you see him in this photo. Before I arrived on the scene, it was said that one of the guys managed to escape into the 72nd Community swamp (directly opposite the new health ministry in Congo Town with with the fire arm they use for operation. He was never found.

However, the angry crowd managed to get this guy (believed to be a Nigerian National) and brutalized him as you can see. Thanks to the LNP for having this guy transferred to the Police Station and listening to my advice.

The unidentified black car escaped and on lookers alleged that the car was taken off by on quote-un-quote white man.

The young lady who was victimized, after being thrown out of the car, was rushed to the hospital for treatment.

Hummmm!!!! Liberia, Where are we now in terms of security?'

WE'RE READY FOR INVESTMENTS FROM ALL QUARTERS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF OUR PEOPLE- PRESIDENT BUHARI

Nigeria as a country recognized her problems early enough, but remained potential for too long, and so did not achieve much results, President Muhammadu Buhari has declared.

The President spoke Tuesday at State House, Abuja, while receiving Executive Members of Association of Africa Automotive Manufacturers (AAAM), led by the chairman, Mr Jeff Nemeth.

President Buhari said that to reverse the trend, "We must avoid the mistakes made in the past by both government and manufacturers, and we are ready to get investment from all quarters, so that we can improve the lives of our people."

The President lamented that Nigeria failed to develop on automobile initiatives started in Bauchi, Kaduna and Ibadan, and depended too much on oil as mainstay of her economy.

"We are making efforts to start our steel industry all over again. I see vast opportunities for both the country and those who invest here," the President said.

Nemeth said the Association comprised potential investors who were ready to unlock investment potentials on the African continent.

"We are ready to offer strategic partnership with Nigeria. We want to promote investor-friendly regulatory frameworks and sustainable manufacturing.

"We will equally promote infrastructure development, job creation, and skills transfer," he said.

The AAAM chairman sought the support of the Presidency in the realization of the vision and mission of the association.

Maybe he has ntin to fear

Below is a statement released by Ahmad Salkida.....


My attention has been drawn to a public notice put out by the Nigerian Army and signed by Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman, Acting Director, Army Public Relations. The statement declaring me wanted seeks culpable grounds to punish me on
account of “last two videos released by Boko Haram terrorists and other findings…” by the
Army.

Clearly, my status as a Nigerian journalist who has reported extensively, painstakingly and consistently on the Boko Haram menace in the country since 2006 is an open book known to Nigerians and the international community. Equally, my total allegiance and sacrifice to the Federal Republic of Nigeria is self evident. I
have stayed within the creed of professional journalism in my work.

As a testimony to the credible and professional values of my access, since May 2015, l have been to Nigeria three times on the invitation of Federal Government agencies. I made personal sacrifices for the release of our Chibok daughters.

Finally, the Army is aware that I am not in Nigeria presently. In the coming days I will seek to get a flight to Abuja and avail myself to the Army authorities. Indeed, my return will be hastened if the Military sends me a ticket.
Thank you.

Ahmad Salkida.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has endorsed the use of barcode in Nigerian movies and music as a measure to protect intellectual properties from undue exploitation.


The Minister, who was responding to a request to that effect by the Caretaker Committee of the Performing Musicians Employers Association of Nigeria (PMAN) who paid him a courtesy visit in his office in Abuja on Friday, advised the Association to also liaise with the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria (BON), the Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) and other regulatory bodies to ensure the success of the new measure.

"You asked that we make a declaration making it illegal for NTA, FRCN and other radio and television stations from using any music or movie, which is not barcoded...I think what we should do is to work through the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria (BON), NCC and other regulatory bodies," he said.

Barcode is a machine-readable representation of data, which provides information about the objects that carry such codes. In the movie and music industry, It can be used to separate original works from fake ones, thus preventing buyers as well as radio and television stations from patronizing pirated works.

Alhaji Mohammed decried how trillions of Naira are being lost through copyrights infringement and stressed the need to re-invigorate institutional structures to block areas of leakages in order to rake in more revenue for the government and also allow artistes to enjoy the fruits of their labour.

He also enjoined players in the creative industry to buy into the innovative ways the government is employing to fight piracy through the Digital Switch Over in broadcasting.

"I think you also have to buy into the new digitization programme of the Federal Government because that will be a more effective way to fighting piracy than what we have today...... When you release your work online then there are no CDs to pirate. If I want to buy I (must) pay and it comes straight to me," he remarked.

The Minister said another advantage of the digital regime is the multiplicity of channels to broadcast content, thereby creating more demand for content.

He said the government is working to turn the creative industry into a viable economy and appealed for private sector investment in production and post-production studios as a deliberate effort to curb capital flight to countries with hi-tech production infrastructure.

"If you can convince the private sector on the viability of the creative industry, you are going to see change. What the private sector needs are figures, data and balance-sheet," said Alhaji Mohammed.

The Minister also sought the support of PMAN towards the National Re-orientation Campaign of the Federal Government, tagged "Change Begins with Me," which is to be launched soon, saying creative artistes are influential members of the society who can take the message of change in attitude to the various strata of society.

He agreed to partner with PMAN to organise a Creative Economy Conference with a view to bringing on board all stakeholders to brainstorm on the development of the industry.

In his remarks, the President of the Caretaker Committee of PMAN, Mr. Pretty Okafor, said the music industry is the biggest employer of labour in Nigeria with over 12 million people gainfully engaged.

Mr. Okafor said according to a recent study, the nation's creativity industry is worth N15 trillion, but that over N10 trillion is lost through national and global piracy.

He said government stands to earn N3 trillion annually in both Value Added Tax and taxable income through the introduction of systematic ways to track revenue accruing to the sector and curbing piracy.
