Family › The 'disturbing' Photo That Has The Internet Talking by dadaojames(op): 10:50pm On Jan 15, 2016

The 'disturbing' photo that has the internet talking - but look closer and it is just a VERY awkward optical illusion

At first glance this looks like a 'disturbingly' graphic picture, but if you take a closer look you will see it is actually just a very awkward optical illusion.
The photo, which shows a bald man stooping down to give his baby a kiss, has attracted more than three million views on social media site Imgur and thousands of comments.
It initially prompted confusion for many viewers, who mistook the father's hairy shoulders, bald head and left ear for his bottom.
But many then took to social media to express their relief after realising it was actually just a tender family moment.

Politics › Re: We Have Declared Ambode Enemy Of Ndigbo – Ohanaeze by dadaojames(m): 4:58pm On Jan 11, 2016

Nigeria Youth has always been used by Politicians.

Remember when student unions (NUNS and later NANS) used to fight for national issues, when last have u heard about NANS? Leader don't regard them because they can easily be compromised with money.

To deceive a Nigerian Youth today doesn't require much thinking. Two things are required MONEY and TRIBE. A good politician will use 'super combo' of the two and spicy it up with regional party-syndrome to get 'super result'. America, UK, China etc would not have been where they are today if this was the case.

Until we demand for good governance and jettison tribalism and party sentiment , Nigeria youth will not be regarded. Nigerian Youth still has long way to go

God bless Nigeria Youth. We can do it again. #Nigerianyouthdemand Let get it started.

Crime › Nigerian Charged In Sophisticated Email Scam Is In Custody In Dallas by dadaojames(op): 7:25pm On Jan 03, 2016

A Nigerian man living in the U.S. on a student visa faces federal wire fraud charges in connection with a sophisticated email phishing scam targeting businesses.

Amechi Colvis Amuegbunam, 28, of Lagos, Nigeria, was arrested in Baltimore in August and charged with scamming 17 North Texas companies out of more than $600,000 using the technique. He remains in federal custody in Dallas. If convicted, he faces up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million.

He is accused of sending emails that looked like forwarded messages from top company executives to employees who had the authority to wire money. Amuegbunam tricked the employees into wiring him money by transposing a couple of letters in the actual company email, authorities said.

The FBI issued an alert earlier this year about the new cyberattack it called the “Business Email Compromise.” The FBI said it is a “growing fraud that is more sophisticated than any similar scam the FBI has seen before.”

Federal officials say more than 7,000 U.S. businesses have been scammed out of a total of about $740 million.

“It’s a prime example of organized crime groups engaging in large-scale, computer-enabled fraud, and the losses are staggering,” said Maxwell Marker, an FBI agent who oversees an organized crime section, in a recent bulletin.

The FBI said it’s the work of organized crime groups from Africa, Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

The Dallas investigation began in 2013 when two North Texas companies reported falling victim to the scheme, each losing about $100,000, according to an FBI complaint.

In the case of Luminant Corp., an electric utility company in Dallas, an employee with the authority to wire money received an email from someone who appeared to be a company executive, the complaint said.

But the email domain name had two letters transposed. For example, someone created the email with a domain name of lumniant.com.

The duped employee wired $98,550 to a bank account outside Texas.

The FBI subpoenaed information about the email account and learned it was created by someone named Colvis Amue, the complaint said.

Agents determined that person was Amuegbunam and that he scammed another company out of $146,550, according to the complaint. A third company realized the phishing email was fake and did not send the $381,903 requested.

“The Dallas FBI quickly learned that this was a widespread scheme,” the complaint said.

The FBI has identified five other conspirators who live in Nigeria who are subjects of the investigation.

In these scams, “money mules” are employed to accept the initial transfers into their personal bank accounts. They then are told to quickly transfer the money elsewhere, usually to a bank account outside the U.S. The money usually ends up in Asian banks, including those in China and Hong Kong, the FBI alert said.

The criminals have become experts at imitating invoices and accounts, agents say. The fraudulent emails are typically well worded and specific to the type of business being targeted, the FBI says. The phrases, “code to admin expenses” and “urgent wire transfer,” are frequently used.

In one recent case provided by the FBI, a company accountant received an email from her chief executive, who was on vacation outside the country. He asked her to transfer money for a “time-sensitive acquisition” before the day’s end, according to the FBI. The executive said a lawyer would contact her with more information.

The accountant said such requests were not unusual.

The lawyer sent her an email with her CEO’s signature on a letter of authorization with the company’s seal that was attached. The email gave her instructions to wire more than $737,000 to a bank in China.

The accountant learned about the scam when the CEO called the next day, saying he knew nothing about the wire transfer request.

The FBI said criminal groups usually target businesses that have foreign suppliers or regularly make wire transfer payments.

“They have excellent tradecraft, and they do their homework,” Marker said. “The days of these emails having horrible grammar and being easily identified are largely behind us.”

Politics › Northern Govs Issued Communiqué After Emergency Meeting by dadaojames(op): 1:50pm On Dec 20, 2015

NORTHERN STATES GOVERNORS' FORUM
Communique of the emergency meeting of Northern States Governors' Forum held on Saturday, 19 December, 2015 at General Hassan Usman Katsina House, Kawo-Kaduna
The Northern States Governors' Forum (NSGF) convened an emergency meeting to collectively discuss security challenges in the region, particularly as it relates to the recent fracas between a detachment of the Nigerian Army and Shiites followers in Zaria. It noted that the unfortunate incident, though local, has the potential to degenerate into a sub-national and national security challenge.
The Governors of the Northern States were worried by the situation and resolved to support Kaduna State Government in its effort to address the situation; and to review the situation as it pertains to their States.
The Forum received brief on the recent Shiite incident in Zaria by the Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai. Thereafter, issues inherent in the presentation were exhaustively discussed.
The Forum offered its condolences to the Kaduna State Government and the families of all those who lost their lives in the tragedy and wished the wounded speedy recovery.
The meeting thereafter resolved as follows:-
• The Governors reaffirmed that all Nigerians should respect the law and constituted authority; and that every organization, religious or social should operate within the confines of the law;
• Endorsed all the steps taken so far by the Kaduna State Government to contain the situation;
• Commends and supports the Governor of Kaduna for the decision to constitute a Judicial Commission of Inquiry to examine the remote and immediate cause of the Zaria incident;
• Reassure citizens of its readiness to maintain law and order while respecting the constitutional rights of citizens to practice their faith in a manner devoid of infringing the rights of others;
• Frowned at arbitrary blockage of high ways through unauthorized processions causing inconveniences to citizens. The Northern Governors, therefore, resolved that henceforth processions must necessarily be with police permit and protection as prescribed by the law;
• Reaffirmed their commitment to take measures to revive and grow the economies of Northern States to create jobs and other opportunities, efforts already in top gear to review agriculture and industries related to agriculture;
• Called on all Nigerians irrespective of differences in political affiliations, religious persuasions, sectional or ethnic background to coalesce into a single unit and collectively fight our common tragedies of poverty, destitution and illiteracy. The problems confronting us go beyond politics. We should unite to confront our common challenges;
• Appealed to the media to exercise restraint, decorum and avoid inflaming passions or stocking the embers of division and intolerance; and
• Encouraged citizens to report suspicious and concerns to constituted authority.
Hon. Kashim Shettima
Executive Governor of Borno State and Chairman, Northern States Governors' Forum

Politics › Dasukigate: The Sun Newspaper Returns N9million It Got From Ex-nsa, Dasuki by dadaojames(op): 1:40pm On Dec 20, 2015

The management of The Sun newspaper issued the statement below, Sunday, to announce its return of the N9million it received from the office of the National Security Adviser “as compensation for the seizure of its newspapers and stoppage of circulation during the Goodluck Jonathan administration in June 2014.”

It said the the N9million cheque had since been returned to the Newspaper Proprietors Association of Nigeria, NPAN, for onward passage to the office of the National Security Adviser.

[b]NPAN and N120 million compensation: Our position 1
[/b]In deference to public outcry and the need to protect its corporate integrity, the Management of The Sun Publishing Limited has returned the N9 million received from the Presidency through the Newspaper Proprietors Association of Nigeria (NPAN) as compensation for the seizure of its newspapers and stoppage of circulation during the Goodluck Jonathan administration in June 2014.
In a statement issued yesterday and signed by its Managing Director/Editor-in- Chief, Mr. Eric Osagie, The Sun said it took the decision following the controversies, which the payment of the compensation had generated and the need to come clean on the matter.
The statement reads further: “The Management of The Sun Publishing Limited has considered the public outcry and diverse controversies generated among media houses, the Newspaper Proprietors Association of Nigeria (NPAN) and the public over the N120 million paid by the Goodluck Jonathan administration as compensation to newspaper companies for the unlawful seizure of their newspapers and stoppage of circulation by armed soldiers in several cities across the country in June 2014.
Having reviewed the situation, we wish to state as follows:

After the unlawful action of the military, to which The Sun lost millions of naira, we had signified the intention to commence litigation against the Federal Government along with other affected newspaper companies.

2. However, at the level of the NPAN, which The Sun is a member, a decision was collectively taken to accept the Presidency’s offer of peaceful settlement in place of litigation in the interest of peace and national security.
We were later informed of the payment of N120 million compensation out of which the sum of N9 million was paid to The Sun Management by the NPAN.

At the time the compensation was paid, we had no inkling whatsoever under which expenditure sub-head in the Presidency the fund was sourced and that it was allegedly part of the funds meant for the purchase of arms.

As a very responsible newspaper organization, which places premium on ethics, individual and corporate integrity, we are certainly embarrassed by the turn of events and the unfortunate insinuation of involvement in the illegal sharing of the nation’s commonwealth and the feasting on the blood of soldiers fighting the war against insurgency.

We believe strongly in our corporate integrity and principles of fairness and social justice, which have driven our business considerations over the years.
In the light of the foregoing, we have returned the cheque of N9 million to the NPAN for onward transmission to the source through which it came.

We have seen that the good intention not to seek redress in court has seemingly backfired.
We have also given notice to our lawyers to immediately commence the process in court to redress the huge loss suffered through the actions of the military.

We assure our teeming readers of our commitment to serving them faithfully and conscientiously by upholding the time-tested principles of fair business ethics, equity and social justice.

Politics › PDP Apologises To Nigerians, Says It Made A ‘mistake’ by dadaojames(op): 11:40pm On Nov 10, 2015*

The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has admitted that it made a mistake in not allowing proper contest during the primaries that produced former President, Goodluck Jonathan.

The party also apologised to Nigerians for its mistakes during the 16 years it presided over governance in Nigeria.
In a press conference on Tuesday in Abuja, the Chairman of the National Planning Committee of the conference, Dr Raymond Dokpesi, also condemned what it called the selective anti-corruption war of the present administration.
The PDP also alleged witch-hunt of its members.
Many Errors Committed
In the last General elections, the PDP not only lost the Presidency to the then opposition party, All Progressives Congress (APC), it lost its majority hold in both chambers of the National Assembly and many states that hitherto, were considered its stronghold.
Mr Dokpesi attributed the defeat to many errors committed by the party and its leadership, but asked Nigerians to forgive and forget the past.
He said, “We are aware that there were errors we made. We admit that we made mistakes and we have not met the expectation of Nigerians and we tender unreserved apologies for these mistakes.
“You must have seen Ike Ekweremadu’s report on why we are apologising. There was no internal democracy, there was impunity within the party and there was no level-playing ground for members of the party.
“Zoning principles of the party were abandoned and a gamut of all other issues, which would come out during the conference and for all these and the people who have been offended, for people whose toes were stepped upon, we also tender unreserved apology.
“We Are Begging”
“These are the reasons we are begging and apologising. We want to assure every founding member of the party that we deviated from their visions, and that’s why we are going to have all our founding fathers like Adamu Ciroma, Dr. Alex Ekwueme and other members of the G.34, to come and talk to us at the conference.
“For every and any mistake we have made, I therefore say, we tender our unreserved apologies”, he added.

Politics › Buhari, Osinbajo Declare Assets by dadaojames(op): 8:19pm On Sep 03, 2015

A statement by the Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu said “the documents submitted to the CCB, which officials say are still being vetted and will soon be made public, show that prior to being sworn in on May 29, President Buhari had less than N30 million to his name. He also had only one bank account, with the Union Bank. President Buhari had no foreign account, no factory and no enterprises. He also had no registered company and no oil wells”, the statement said.
The statement further added that “the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), who had been a successful lawyer before his foray into politics declared a bank balance of about N94 million and 900,000 United States Dollars in his bank accounts”.
It added that President Buhari “had shares in Berger Paints, Union Bank and Skye Bank”.
The documents also revealed that “President Buhari had a total of five homes, and two mud houses in Daura. He had two homes in Kaduna, one each in Kano, Daura and in Abuja. One of the mud houses in Daura was inherited from his late older sister, another from his late father. He borrowed money from the old Barclays Bank to build two of his homes.
“President Buhari also has two undeveloped plots of land, one in Kano and the other in Port Harcourt. He is still trying to trace the location of the Port Harcourt land.
“In addition to the homes in Daura, he has farms, an orchard and a ranch. The total number of his holdings in the farm include 270 heads of cattle, 25 sheep, five horses, a variety of birds and a number of economic trees”.
The documents also showed that the retired General “uses a number of cars, two of which he bought from his savings and the others supplied to him by the federal government in his capacity as former Head of State. The rest were donated to him by well-wishers after his jeep was damaged in a Boko Haram bomb attack on his convoy in July 2014.
The same forms, according to Mr Shehu, notes that ” Vice-President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo’s asset declaration include his 4-bedroom residence at Victoria Garden City, Lagos and a 3-bedroom flat at 2 Mosley Road, Ikoyi. The Vice President also has a 2-bedroom flat at the popular Redemption Camp along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and a 2-bedroom mortgaged property in Bedford, England. Aside from these, the Vice President has no other landed properties on the form.
“Apart from his law firm, known as SimmonsCooper, the Vice-President also declared shareholding in six private companies based in Lagos, including Octogenerium Ltd., Windsor Grant Ltd., Tarapolsa, Vistorion Ltd., Aviva Ltd. and MTN Nigeria.
“His personal vehicles are one Infinity 4-Wheel Drive SUV, one Mercedes Benz and a Prado Jeep.
“As soon as the CCB is through with the process, the documents will be released to the Nigerian public and people can see for themselves,” Mr Shehu said.

Politics › APC Tenders Report Of Inspected Election Materials In Akwa Ibom by dadaojames(op): 6:30am On Aug 27, 2015

The All Progressive Congress (APC) and its Akwa Ibom governorship candidate in the April 11th 2015 governorship election, Mr Umana Umana, have tendered the report of their inspection and scanning of the election materials as ordered by the tribunal.

The tribunal at its proceedings took the testimony of a data analyst, who inspected the election materials.

The analyst told the tribunal that from his analysis there are indications that voting did not take place in most polling units in the state.

However, under cross-examination, he told the tribunal that the team could not carry out re-count of the ballot papers, because they were not made available for inspection.

He maintained that his analysis indicates irregularities that run contrary to the election guidelines.

While counsel to the petitioners expressed satisfaction with the testimony of the witness, the defence believes that the witness has helped the court to decide the credibility of his testimony as it relates to the case.

Meanwhile, the tribunal also admitted as an exhibit, a security report tendered by the Inspector-General of Police, who was subpoenaed by the tribunal through a legal officer from the Force Criminal Investigation Department, following a no objection plea by the defense counsels in the suit
