JAMB has been organising exams for students decades before the "fake highest scorer" was born.

JAMB is the only body authorised to release the highest scorer in its exams just like WAEC and NECO does.

How can a JAMB candidate just wake up and say she scored the highest in the exams? What sort of effornetry and temerity is that?

The tribal kinsmen of the JAMB fake highest scorer now wanted to place the ignoble criminal act on JAMB which has been organising exams for years without issues like this because the body is headed by an individual who isn't from their tribe.

"I have found the app. Things dey happen."

Amid the saga about Mmesoma Ejikeme's score, a Nigerian man has uncovered an app used in generating fake UTME results for people.

Exposing the application online, the man used it to create his own 2023 UTME result and surprised many people. People rushed to download the app and created theirs.
The app surprisingly has a 5 star rating on Playstore.
Anybody can download and generate a Jamb result with the app

tinsel:
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has suspended Ejikeme Mmesoma from writing its Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for three years over alleged forgery of her 2023 result.

This was contained in a statement on Tuesday morning, by Sunday Fabian Benjamin, its Head of Public Affairs and Protocol.
The board, which first raised alarm on Miss Ejikeme’s result on Sunday, insisted that it was forged, explaining that it had since stopped issuing Notification of Result slips after the 2021 UTME for the simple reason that candidates were falsifying them.

JAMB reassured “Nigerians that its system was neither tampered with nor compromised as the candidate simply falsified a copy of a result slip of a candidate named ‘Asimiyu Mariam Omobolanle”, who sat the UTME in 2021 and scored 138.”
It is also instructive to note that the candidate, in her statement, has inadvertently revealed the rightful owner of the result she is parading when she pointed out that the QR code on the result slip showed the actual owner of the said result before she peddled a lie in an attempt to obfuscate the truth.

“To witness the unassailable position of the Board regarding this obvious falsehood, the general public is, therefore, urged to endeavour to scan the QR code on the result slip to see its actual owner before it was mutilated.“It is to be noted that the QR code encapsulates the UTME result of each candidate, hence, what is on the result sheet is nothing other than the interpretation of the information on this QR code.

“Furthermore, the public is also to note that the Board stopped issuing Notification of Result slips after the 2021 UTME for the simple reason that candidates were falsifying them. Consequently, the Board has been issuing actual UTME RESULT Slips (not notification of results ) since 2022 complete with the photograph of each candidate.
Similarly, the public is also invited to ponder on the fact that out of all the candidates that sat the 2023 UTME, only Ms. Ejikeme Mmesoma parades the obsolete ‘Notification of Result.’

“The Board remains unperturbed by this unfortunate development as this is not the first time such fraudulent claims have been made. As such, Nigerians are urged to recall numerous occasions where the Board was sued for billions of naira only for the lawyers to later apologise profusely for their clients’ misadventure. Prominent among these is the case of a candidate, John Chinedu Ifesinachi, who, in 2021, wrote a letter to the Board , threatening to sue for N2b damages, only for him and his counsel to tender unreserved apology when the candidate eventually confessed his crime in the face of incontrovertible facts in an open investigation observed by several national public institutions including the Public Complaints Commission, National Human Rights Commission, Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Council, Servicom and media houses.


“This case has, therefore, being rightly handed over to relevant security agencies for thorough investigation to unravel the masterminds of yet another unfortunate scam. The Board is not averse to public scrutiny and is ready for open public session involving the agencies listed above as well as relevant security agencies where the candidate , parent’s guardian and her legal team will be present.

“Another frightening dimension to the unfolding drama is the unwholesome interest of some nefarious elements, who to all intents and purposes, are determined to goad the candidate on this unproductive path as any casual observer would observe with the obviously stage-managed video aired by Ms. Ejikeme. The Board urges these confusionists to have a rethink as their evil machinations would soon come to light.

“Again, the Board restates its readiness for genuine scrutiny as this case would not be the first time and might not even be the last of such shenanigans. At the end of the day, the truth would manifest and the Board vindicated.


“In the meantime, the management of the Board urges member of the public to examine critically the issue at hand and avoid fake news trafficking
“In the meantime, the management of the Board, after considering the weighty infraction committed by Ms. Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma, and in line with it’s established procedures, has withdrawn her 2023 UTME result and also barred her from sitting the Board’s examination for the next three years.”

They should investigate the centre wherever she printed her JAMB result.

Its possible its a centre where they do Jamb results upgrade and they printed it for her without her kmowledge.

Its no longer funny as even now things are expensive.

When I invite a girl the way between 10k to 30k will just disappear.

Even if you decide not to go outing and lavish spending. Be expected to waste at least 6k to 10k. And if you have a car and you factor the cost of fuel to it, It will be more than that. And Either way alternative a cab. Because most girls will come and go with cab if they want to go see a guy, none will enter bus. Either you have a car or you pay for the cab. To them it make them look cheap to trek and use a bus.

It's no longer funny to be a man.

Mr Man. Get married and settle down with your own wife.
When you clock 50 yrs, you'll realise you were just fooling yourself at your youth chasing girls and wasting your money on them.

Use calculator to check how much you've been spending on girls since you started dashing them money.
That money you're wasting may not always be there.

Some of your mates and those younger than you are already married with children, training their kids in school who will in turn take care of them tomorrow.

The Chief of Defence Staff and service chiefs, who were retired by President Bola Tinubu, on Monday, June 19, 2023, are to get bulletproof Sport Utility Vehicles, personal aides, guards and other perks of office, including generous allowance for medical treatment abroad, as retirement benefits, Saturday PUNCH has gathered.

The affected senior military officers are the immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor; Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Faruk Yahaya; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo; and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Isiaka Amao.

The Harmonised Terms and Conditions of Service for Officers of the Armed Forces of Nigeria 2017 (revised), which was exclusively obtained by Saturday PUNCH and marked as “Restricted”, listed the benefits of the retired Generals upon leaving the respective services.

Section 11.8 of the HTACOS 2017, a revised version of the HTACOS 2012, listed the benefits of a retiring CDS and service chiefs to include one bulletproof SUV or equivalent vehicle to be maintained by the service and to be replaced every four years; Peugeot 508 or equivalent backup vehicle; and five domestic aides made up of two service cooks, two stewards and a civilian gardener.

Each of them is also entitled to an Aide-de-Camp/security officer; special assistant of a lieutenant/captain or equivalent, or personal assistant of the rank of warrant officer or equivalent; and nine standard guards of nine soldiers.

The immediate past CDS and service chiefs are also entitled to three service drivers; one service orderly; escorts to be provided by the appropriate military units/formations as the need arises; and free medical cover in Nigeria and abroad.

They are also to retain all military uniforms and accoutrements to be worn for appropriate ceremonies, as well as personal firearms. However, such firearms shall be retrieved by the relevant services upon the death of the beneficiaries.

Section 11.19 of the HTACOS 2017 also listed the retirement benefits of a Lieutenant General for the Nigerian Army, Vice Admiral for the Navy and Air Marshal for the Air Force to include two Peugeot 508 cars, or one Toyota Land Cruiser, two cooks, two stewards, four residential guards, one service orderly, two service drivers, free medical treatment in the country and abroad to the tune of $20,000 yearly.

Meanwhile, many Major Generals and equivalence in the Navy and Air Force are expected to apply for voluntary retirement latest by Monday following the appointment of a new CDS and service chiefs by the President.

In the HTACOS, however, the retirement benefits for a Major General in the Army, Rear Admiral in the Navy and Air Vice Marshal in Air Force, who are two-star officers, include one Peugeot 508, a cook, a steward, two residential guards, one service orderly, one service driver, free medicals in Nigeria and abroad to the tune of $15,000 per year.

Their one-star officers who are Brigadier Generals, Commodore and Air Commodore upon retirement are entitled to one Peugeot 408, a service driver, two residential guards, one service orderly and free medicals locally and abroad to the tune of $10,000 each.

For Colonels, Captains and Group Captains in the Army, Navy and Air Force, respectively, each of them is expected to go with a Peugeot 301 or another car of the same value and free medical cover in the country.

The harmonised conditions of service, however, provided that for Major Generals, Brigadier Generals, Colonels and their equivalents in the Navy and the Air Force, all the benefits could be monetised for the retiring officers.

In comparison, the 2012 version of the HTACOS made provisions for one security car to be maintained by the respective service and replaced every four years; retention of all military uniforms and accoutrements to be worn for appropriate ceremonies, as well as personal firearms, which shall be retrieved by the relevant services upon the death of the beneficiaries; three domestic civilian aides (cook, gardener and steward), or cash in lieu; Aide-de-Camp/security officer; six standard guards; one service driver; and one service orderly for retiring Generals, CDS and service chiefs in Section 09.17.

Saturday PUNCH gathered that the HTACOS was reviewed in 2022 in accordance with the five-year review period, but it was not signed due to rumblings that the senior generals were taking good care of themselves at the expense of the rank and file.

It was learnt that to become operative, the HTACOS would be signed by the CDS with the permission of the President as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

The current HTACOS in use specifies that the CDS and service chiefs must be four-star Generals and can hold the positions for a continuous period of two years and that the Commander-in-Chief can extend such appointments for another period of two years from the date of the expiration of the initial two-year period.

However, Section 11.09 leaves the tenure of the CDS and service chiefs open and at the discretion of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, stating, “The foregoing notwithstanding, the President, C-in-C reserves the prerogative to extend the tenure of a CDS/service chief irrespective of his age or length of service.”

Former President Muhammadu Buhari relied on this provision to retain the services of Chief of Defence Staff, General Abayomi Olonisakin; Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok Ekwe Ibas; and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, who were appointed in 2015 but were not replaced until January 2021 even though there were calls for them to be sacked based on the rising insecurity in the country.

‘Too many generals’
A former spokesman for the Nigerian Air Force, Group Captain Sadeeq Shehu (retd.), said the country had too many generals, which he noted had led to difficulties in appointing service chiefs in the military.

Shehu stated this on Friday in an interview with Arise TV, which was monitored by one of our correspondents.

He said, “The retirement is going to include the Generals in the Army, Air Force and the Navy. What is important is not the effect that this retirement will have on security, because we have enough Generals. If these people go, they will be replaced.

“However, it is important to note that it is not normal for the military anywhere in the world to retire about 100 Generals, and by my own estimate, we have close to 133 Major Generals in the Army, Rear Admirals in the Navy and Air Vice Marshals in the Air Force, that are leaving. We also have to remember that this is not the first time. When the last set of service chiefs retired in 2022, we had another batch of about 100 who left.

“The issue here is when you look at the money that is spent on training these people, whether it is foreign courses or the ones here, the experience we are losing and the money we are wasting on these people and then telling them to go is not good for the national economy.

“On the individual level, I must put the premise that our President and Commander-in-Chief, according to the constitutional requirement in Section 217, has the right to appoint service chiefs and the constitution does not tie his hands that in appointing service chiefs, he must pick either the most senior or the middle senior or the most junior. It is completely within his right to do that.

“But President Bola Tinubu came and met about 350 Major Generals across the services, so to be honest with you, his work was not even easy in picking his service chiefs. I think there is a problem that started long ago. We should not be having 350 Major Generals for the President to pick from. The services themselves or the superintendents in the Ministry of Defence approved that number.”

Shehu added, “When you join the military, they will tell you that the military is a pyramid. Now to maintain that pyramid, the lower bottom of the military should be higher than the next higher level. You are supposed to have a large base of Second Lieutenants who came out of the Nigerian Defence Academy in the Navy, Air Force and Army and as they progress into their second rank, which is full Lieutenant, it is almost automatic unless someone dies.

“But from Lieutenant rank, when you are moving to captain that is when the process of filtering starts coming in such a way that you have like 80 per cent, and from Captain to Major, you have like 70 per cent. Towards the end, at the top which is the General, the ideal is that you have like two per cent and a maximum of three or five per cent. But what do we have in Nigeria?

“According to the research I made, there are some courses that since they went out of the NDA, about 44 per cent of them became Major Generals. This is not a good way to go about it. So, I think the failure has to do with a well-coordinated and modern military personnel management system.

“So, I think the problem was not made by the President himself, but the military as an institution with the strict supervision of the Ministry of Defence should be able to follow this filtering process so that only the best become Generals in line with global practices. Unfortunately, that filter has not been working.”

The former NAF spokesman stated, “Those of us that studied these things as far back as 2012 noticed this tendency of promoting too many Generals. There are too many Generals. I know the times are not like when I joined the military, but I remember in 1984 when I joined the military in Kaduna, you could hardly see a Brigadier around. But what do we have now? We have too many Generals.

“We need to listen to our elders. General Ishola Williams, as far back as 2020, gave us this warning that we are having too many Generals and too little field troops. In the long run, it is the country that loses.”

Experts weigh in
Shehu added that ex-military Generals worked for their pay and that service chiefs who are made to retire suddenly, often leave the military unprepared.

He stated, “The issue is that when you continue doing this, people who leave, not really unprepared but you know what the military promises them, they are not going to attain it. So it is not a win-win situation for everybody. You lose vibrant young men, they leave unprepared and then you have a bloated military structure. And what does a bloated military do? It costs a lot of money.

“Let us be frank, there is no money you can pay somebody for his life. Whatever you pay a General after serving 35 or 30 years, he is worth it because they are in the bush and stay awake while others sleep.”

A security expert, Kabiru Adamu, said the appointment of service chiefs was political as well as professional, adding that they should benefit from what their counterparts in other parts of the world were enjoying.

He said, “There are a lot of things that are wrong with our security structure at the moment. For example, the position and role of our service chiefs is somewhere in between political and professional, and this has put them in a very difficult situation that sometimes they have to dance to the dictum of politicians.

“As an example, when they are appointed, their tenure is not clearly stated. If they are professionals, their appointments should be based on certain professional codes. Why I am saying this is to indicate that because their role is not entirely professional; it also has a political undertone; they’re entitled to benefit from the largesse of any political administration.

“By that, I mean any benefits that political appointees will get, they should get. Is this the best way to run a government, especially where the cost of governance is one of the factors affecting our economy? No. It is not, but I don’t want us to isolate them. It is something that is general with civilian administrations and sadly over time, the problem has deepened. “

Brigadier General, Bashir Adewinibi (retd.), said, “I don’t know what the service chiefs are entitled to but we have terms and conditions in the armed forces and I believe that whatever they will be entitled to would have been stated there and it will be implemented to the letter. It is their entitlement and nothing can be done to it except it is not in the harmonised conditions of service. “

On his part, Colonel Saka Foluso (retd.), said, “I don’t think there is anything too much for Generals who have put their lives on the line for over 35 years. Political appointees, who have not done what the Generals have done, get more than that for say the eight years they have served. There is nothing given to them (military officers) that is too much.

“What they will be given has been stated already, which includes driver, car and what have you; they are not too much. They have made sacrifices for these. Do you know how many joined the service with them who are no more? If you are complaining about the economy, let us block the leakages elsewhere. Curbing oil theft is one of the ways we can generate more money.”

A former military governor of the defunct Western Region, Maj. Gen. David Jemibewon (retd.), said the retirement benefits earmarked for the outgoing service chiefs and other military officers were well deserved.

He stated that it showed that the country was now paying better attention to the welfare of the “persons who have served it meritoriously and retired.”

Jemibewon said, “I don’t think there is anything wrong with the retirement packages for these men, who have served the country meritoriously and retired.

“This is evidence that the country is making positive progress towards the stabilisation of professions and recognition of efficient performance in one’s position.

“It will also, perhaps, promote higher and satisfactory performance among the serving chiefs in that they know that they will be highly rewarded for good service to the nation.

“It was not like that when I retired. This is why I said it was an improvement. The country is making a lot of progress. It was not as detailed as it is now. It is a welcome development.”

However, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Armourcop G. Security Systems Limited, Mr Timothy Avele, said he did not see how the purchase of bulletproof vehicles for the retired service chiefs would look to the common man who can barely feed at this time.

In a message to one of our correspondents, Avele said, “I don’t see the benefits of purchasing bulletproof vehicles for the retired Generals, especially now that even the common man cannot feed. I think the government just wants to appease them, otherwise, it is a drain on the economy.”

'Don’t play politics with military’
Meanwhile, the immediate past CDS, General Lucky Irabor, has warned against playing politics with the military.

According to him, the military enjoys unity and bond not found in any other sector.

Irabor spoke at a reception organised by the Defence Headquarters after his pulling-out parade in Abuja on Friday.

“The friendship and unity that exists within the armed forces you cannot find it anywhere else and that is why you shouldn’t play politics with the military because from the 774 LGAs of this country, everyone is represented. There is no commander that goes to war with those he claims are his kinsmen,” he stated.

He said contrary to general belief, no military personnel takes any special injection to be tough but for the training and indoctrination, which come from the regimentation.

He said “The military is a family for those who may not know. It is a family. I have answered so many questions about being given an injection. What is that injection? There is no injection. The injection is training and discipline. They also said we operate like a cult; the process alone there is nothing wrong if I say we are in a cult, but it is a good cult.

“In the training establishment when I was a cadet, we spent three years, but two years later it became a five-year programme; when it was three years, the admission was every six months and when it became one year, the admission became every year.

“For you to finish a three-year program means that you will have five sets of your seniors and five sets of your juniors. The bonding that comes with it, you can’t find in any other place and that is why you think it is a cult.

“The values and traditions are transmitted from one generation to the other. When you get to the field, you see yourselves as brothers. I want to use this opportunity to appeal to our friends and the citizens, the investment in members of the armed forces is such that other sectors need to take a cue from.”

Irabor also urged his successor, Major General Christopher Musa, to follow up on some of the promises the President made for the military, adding that if they were fulfilled, it would be to the benefit of the country as well as the services.

At his pulling-out parade earlier on Friday, Irabor said he was leaving the military more capable to tackle adversaries than he met it.

He admitted that the task was not easy under his watch due to the large and diverse nature of the country.

He said, “National security for a large and diverse country like Nigeria is not an easy task, but it is also not an impossible one. In 2021, the security situation of the nation was admittedly in a state of dynamic plus. Efforts made by the Federal Government of Nigeria using the AFN in collaboration with the NPF, other security agencies and critical stakeholders were in different stages of gestation; we were encouraged to pursue these measures in addition to other initiatives to reinvigorate the national security architecture to deliver critical national security functions.

“I make bold to say that I’m leaving the armed forces of Nigeria today, bigger, stronger, and more capable to deliver on its constitutional mandate and national security functions.”

He said the military under his watch significantly curbed the threat of terrorism and piracy among others.

Irabor said, “In more specific terms, we significantly curtailed the threats of terrorism, insurgency, piracy, sea robberies, vandalism of critical national assets and kidnappings, and the military aid to civil authority role.

“We successfully work in conjunction with other security agencies and stakeholders to deliver a physical security environment that is amenable for law and order, critical democratic processes as well as human security and national development.”

Nothing lasts forever especially power.
The old service chiefs and old military officers are now retirees to be waiting for pension money and gratuity.

Whoever didn't invest in business while in service or saved money to start business after service will know what it means to be a Pensioneer.

Putin arrests coup leader Prigozhin and liquidates Wagner's militia forever

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hpoDuk_iDE

New news of the Russian-Ukrainian war is presented by this episode of summary TV.
The episode takes place after the unfinished coup d'état of Wagner militia commander Yevgeny Prigozhin. Russian media said that the Russian Federal Security Service has not yet closed the investigation file with Prigozhin, despite the issuance of official statements from the Kremlin confirming that Moscow has dropped all charges against Prigozhin and the Wagner Group. Western press reports have questioned why Prigozhin has not yet moved to Belarus despite being chosen as the seat of Wagner's leader based on the agreement between him and Russian President Vladimir Putin under the auspices of Belarusian President Lukashenko.
On the other hand, a report broadcast by Bloomberg Agency said that the great mistake that President Putin made was the wrong re-enactment of the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, by reincarnating another person, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, giving the role of the victorious revolutionary Lenin to Wagner's leader Prigozhin. This is something whose effects were evident in the wide welcome of the residents of the Russian border province of Rostov to Prigozhin and the Wagner fighters.
Finally, the episode confirms the major rift that afflicted the Russian military as a result of the recent coup. Where Moscow lost an active and very powerful militia that succeeded over the past months in tipping the scales of the Russian forces and draining the Ukrainian military energies.

Fake news. Wagner leader is in Belarus and the Russian Defence Ministry has disbanded the Wagner group. Putin has also decided not to press charges on them.

EFCC should arrest former Governor of Benue State Samuel Ortom and ask him what he was using their unpaid salaries to do.

THE OCEANGATE TITAN SUBMERSIBLE DISASTER:

On Sunday, 18 June 2023, A submersible known as Titan which is owned by a submarine tech company Oceangate set off from St John’s, Newfoundland, Canada on a mission to visit and explore the wreckage of Titanic on the ocean floor.

The Titan which is a 22-foot carbon-fiber and titanium craft was deployed into the ocean by a Canadian expedition ship, the M.V. Polar Prince, to travel nearly 13,000 feet down to the shipwreck site, on the North Atlantic Ocean floor off Newfoundland.

The descent was supposed to take 2 hours 30 minutes and ascent after exploration was also supposed to take the same time frame. Sadly, The Titan lost contact with the surface ship an hour and 45 minutes after it started to dive on Sunday,

THE BACKGROUND STORY:
The expedition crewed by 5 men was to descend over 12,500ft to the ocean floor where the wreckage of the R.M.S. Titanic, the biggest steamship in the world at the time, hit an iceberg four days into its first trans-Atlantic voyage in April 1912, and sank to the bottom of the ocean killing more than 1,500 people.

After it sank, The Titanic wreck lay undisturbed on the ocean floor for over 73 years until it was discovered in pieces in 1985, about 400 miles off Newfoundland at the floor of the ocean.

Since its discovery, the wreck of the Titanic has become a tourist attraction of some sort to marine researchers, scientists, tourists and wealthy thrill seekers.

On board the Titan were five people who wanted to explore the Titanic wreck and they are:

1. Stockton Rush: CEO of OceanGate, the company responsible for organizing the tour and providing the submersible. OceanGate charges $250,000.00 per person for this exclusive experience, with Rush personally serving as the pilot. Greg Stone, a renowned ocean scientist and close friend of Rush, lauded him as a visionary in submersible technology.

Stockton Rush previously had experience in aviation – becoming "the youngest jet transport rated pilot in the world" at age 19 in 1981, according to his bio on the OceanGate website.

He became an F-15 flight test engineer and later worked with sonar and wireless technologies for marine applications.

"In 1989, Rush personally built a Glasair III experimental aircraft, which he still owns and flies," according to OceanGate. "He obtained his BSE in Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University in 1984, and his MBA from the U.C. Berkeley Haas School of Business in 1989."

Greg Stone, a longtime ocean scientist and friend of Rush, described him as "a real pioneer" in submersible innovation.

Due to the depth of the Titanic wreckage, visiting and exploring the site is difficult and expensive. For proper perspective, Human divers wearing specialized equipment and breathing helium-rich air mixtures can safely reach depths of just a few hundred feet below the surface before having to succumb to decompression. A couple of hundred feet deeper, light from the sun can no longer penetrate the water and the pressure at that point will kill any human who ventures that deep and that is why those descending below 800-1000 feet must be inside a specialized made submersible to be able to survive.

This is why a boarding ticket in the Titan submersible cost $250,000 per passenger who want to go on Deep Ocean dives and exploration.

RESCUE MISSION:
The desperate search and rescue operation tried to find the submersible before its oxygen supply run out on Thursday morning.

Over 10 aircrafts, 4 submarines, 6 large vessels, 14 small boats, 3 underwater RVs and 8 sonar buoys were involved in the search for the vessel in the hope that the Titan will be found intact, rescuing it but everything was against time. The US Navy’s deep sea salvage system, Fadoss was deployed alongside a remotely operated vehicle called Curv-21 (cable-controlled undersea recovery vehicle). This 2.4-meter (8ft) craft, about the size of a large refrigerator, can operate as far down as 6km (20,000ft).

Recovering the missing Titan submersible and bringing its crew to safety in time using the latest advanced deep-sea rescue equipment was an extremely difficult task. Even if Titan was located, a successful rescue would require remote-controlled vehicles (ROVs) capable of allowing operators on the surface a clear view of the submersible’s location, any obstacles that may be present and where to attach cables capable of lifting it thousands of meters through the water.

ASSUMPTIONS
If the Titan and its five-person crew did arrive at the Titanic wreck, they will be located 3,800 meters (12,500ft) below the surface on the seabed – too deep for most ROVs to reach. Only a “tiny percentage of the world’s submarines operate that deeply”, according to David Marquet, a former US Navy submarine commander.

On Tuesday, rescue operations searching for the Titan submersible focused their efforts on a remote area of the North Atlantic where a series of underwater noises defined as “BANGING SOUNDS” was detected by Canadian P-3 aircraft on Tuesday and again on Wednesday. Sadly, just a few hours ago the sounds were dismissed as irrelevant and normal search within the wreck of the Titanic resumed.

The US Coast Guard and Canada were frantically trying to locate the vessel, which is said to have last "pinged" while above the Titanic wreckage. France also sent vessels to join the search and rescue mission.

FINDINGS
The Coast Guard has after searching over 10,000 square miles of ocean, debris has been found by The U.S. Coast Guard near the Titanic wreckage in search of the missing submersible. Everyone is unfortunately believed to be dead.

The Coast Guard used a submersible ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle) from the vessel horizon arctic which discovered the tail cone of the missing Titan Submersible approximately 1600ft (4876.8 meters) from the bow of the Titanic on the sea floor.

The ROV Subsequently found additional debris which is consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber of the Titan Submersible.

The US Coast Guard continues the search to recover the remains of the dead and the imploded submersible.

SAFETY BREACHES
A former OceanGate pilot, David Lochridge, who was hired to run manned tests of submersibles, claimed five years ago in court papers that he was fired after he warned that the Titan’s carbon shell was not properly tested to ensure it could descend safely to 4,000 meters, the estimated depth said by Oceangate to explore the Titanic. The submersible was only certified to withstand a pressure of only 1,300 meters depth underwater.

In 2018, David Lochridge, OceanGate’s director of marine operations, filed a lawsuit against the company after he was fired for raising safety concerns. In court documents, Lochridge stated that the company’s testing and certification were insufficient and would “subject passengers to potential extreme danger in their vessels which he referred to as experimental submersibles”.

Also, a few years ago, leaders and stakeholders in the submersible industry who were uncomfortable over Oceangate’s indifference to standards and safety issues sent a letter to Stockton Rush, the Oceangate CEO, warning him that "the current 'experimental approach' of the company could result in problems ranging 'from minor to catastrophic.'

The letter was sent by the Manned Underwater Vehicles committee of the Marine Technology Society, which is a 60-year-old trade group that promotes and moderates the development of ocean technology.

It remains unclear if Mr. Rush, or a fellow employee, responded to the letter, and there was no additional information on why the company's approach was considered dangerous by the group as far back as 2018.
However, the most damning issue facing ocean gate is the 2018 revelation from David Lochridge over "safety concerns" and “quality control issues” over the Titan vessel and the fact that he was reportedly "met with hostility" before being sacked from the company for daring to question the CEO and executive management over safety standards of the OceanGate vessels.

David Lochridge and the leadership of the Manned Underwater Vehicles committee of the Marine Technology Society have now provided documented evidence to the authorities highlighting their earlier warnings to the management of Oceangate which was ignored and even punished in the case of David Lochridge.

It is also revealed that the vessel Titan can only be locked from the outside. The only door to the vessel is sealed off by bolts applied from the outside, there’s no way to unlock it from the inside, and there is no way to escape, even if the vessel rises to the surface. The passengers cannot get out of the sub without a crew on the outside opening it up and letting them out. A catastrophic design flaw.

Another shocking revelation is the missing Titan submersible operated by a cheap video game controller which can be purchased for just £42 on Amazon. Experts insist that at £42, it might not be the piece of equipment you’d expect in a dangerous 13,000ft dive to the bottom of the sea.

Aside from the cheap controller controversy, for the expensive amount of money it costs to do these dives, there should at least be some sonar detection system installed, like 'black boxes' on aircraft, to ping where they were when the distress signal was sent and thereby allow more time to plot how the vessel can be retrieved.

Experts describe it as shocking that there is no such location detection technology or tracking device in the vessel despite the huge price tag.

Passengers previously onboard the OceanGate submersible that ventures to the wreck of the Titanic have revealed how they were asked to sign a waiver that admits the vessel has not been verified by a professional or regulatory body.

CBS journalist David Pogue, who boarded craft to visit the wreckage of the Titanic last year, said that among the paperwork shown to potential passengers was a waiver that stated: "This experimental vessel has not been approved or certified by any regulatory body, and could result in physical injury, emotional trauma, or death."

Another past client of Oceangate, Mike Reiss, an American television writer and producer also reported that he did three separate dives with OceanGate including one to the Titanic and each time he was made to sign a massive waiver that he could die on the trip and the company was not to be held liable.

QUESTIONS:
Lots of unanswered questions continue to linger through the minds of regulators, industry players, Scientists, explorers and well-wishers if this incident could have been avoided.

MY TAKE
With my experience as a scientist, researcher, inventor and techpreneur, I believe accidents or implosions will not stop the advancement of technology, explorations and research but regulations must be adhered to for the protection of lives, property and the world at large.

Research will take on the implosion risk of this incident through foreinsic investigations and find a solution just as:

Ukraine and Thier stupid NATO allies should be thanking God that somebody like me isn't the president of Russia Because I would have nuked that country long long ago and anybody that tries nonsense is getting nuked too..

Till the day this World is destroyed by God after rapture and judgment...no country is going to use Nuclear waepons to destroy the World.

Perish that thought...because Nuclear weapons will never be used. They're just a deterrence and waste of resources to the countries which posses them.

From the day Russia attacked Ukraine and some Russians started protesting....I knew that would be a long war which may also affect members of the Kremlin which includes Putin and their popularity among Russians

Good morning house,

Can anyone based in Kano confirm if the regular monthly sanitation would hold in Kano metropolitan areas this morning?
Just need to know ASAP because I have an appointment by 7:00am this morning and I remembered that the state government do cancel such when Sallah is around the corner.

Awaiting to read your response(s) in the comments below.

Stroll to the main road. If you see cars going about and people trekking upandan, without turning back...there's no sanitation.

But if the main road is quiet, then remain at home till 10am when sanitation ends
