The NYSC had earlier issued a disclaimer on information circulating in the internet directing Prospective Corps Members to commence online registration for the 2016 Batch ‘B’ orientation course on 8th September, 2016.

The disclaimer read:

The attention of Management of the National Youth Service Corps has been drawn to information circulating in the internet directing Prospective Corps Members to commence online registration for the 2016 Batch ‘B’ orientation course on 8th September, 2016.

Management wishes to inform all Prospective Corps Members, parents, guardians and the general public that no date has has been fixed for the 2016 Batch ‘B’ orientation course.

The information did not emanate from NYSC website but the handiwork of scammers whose intention is most likely to defraud unsespecting prospective corps members and the general public.

As soon as management comes out with the date for the frthcoming orientation course, this would be made known to all those concerned through our normal channels of communication viz:
i. NYSC website: www.nysc.gov.ng
ii. NYSC Registration Portal: www.nysc.org.ng
iii. NYSC Twitter: @nysc_ng
iv. NYSC Facebook: facebook.com/officialnysc
We enjoin all prospective corps members to disregard the announcement in question, and wait for the correct information on the next orientation course which will soon be made known from official platforms.
Thank you.

Nigeria: Africa’s Fallen Giant And The Reign Of Political Kleptocracy – Datboyjerry

Once upon a time, Nigeria was graced with the iconic appellation of might and eminence in Africa, but now, she crawls from that splendour of historic glory and then flounders in the gale of global sympathy.

As a mirage, the slogan ‘Giant of Africa’ is now a cynical sobriquet meant to conceal the frightening rate of socio-economic and political malfeasances that have gorged hard to the very depth of national morality.Blessed with abundant natural resources, the West African nation is on a progressive crumble fostered by the unofficial ratification of hegemonic venality, embezzlement and political witch-hunt at the dais of ignominious kleptocracy.

As mediocrity is being allowed to reign in entirety at the backdrop of hollowed selections and elections; impunity and immunity are being hallowed in sacrosanctity by the extremely prejudiced potentates at the upper echelon of voracity.

The only period in time that can embark on this fatal trip of economic decadency, under this ‘democratic era’ of incompetence and kleptomania, is a touch of military reign of brutal anarchy.

In Nigeria, the sovereign ruler, who obviously is the pioneer of the crusade against corruption, has shown quite a few cracks, which suggests him to be the ‘inviolable’ chief priest among the merry band of kleptocrats. Thus far, the controversy surrounding his WASC certificate remains a mystery even the oracles can’t demystify.

How about a situation where the Senate President is faced with three different charges of corruption – 16-count charge of alleged false asset declaration at the Code of Conduct Tribunal; alleged forgery of Senate rules in 2015 and the damning involvement in the list of people that subscribed to the services of the Panamanian firm, Mossack Fonseca to create off shore companies to hide properties from the regulators in their countries – and he is still not incriminated and impeached?

The anguished masses are only being fed with breaking news on litigation at the court of public opinion.

Imagine! In this country, an Appropriation Bill for 2016 would be transmuted from ‘missing’ to ‘padding’ in the National Assembly and the alleged culprits are not yet stripped of honour and respect due to their ranks.

A Nigerian, while reacting to the allegations of budget padding on The PUNCH, July 29, 2016, had said:

“The National Assembly is a reflection of the larger Nigerian society. Whether it is called budget padding or budget stuffing, they are all synonyms of corruption. As of today, Nigeria cannot boast of any arm of government that is corruption-free… Is it the judiciary or the legislature or the executive? Sadly, the civil service is, incredibly, the “Mother of Corruption”. And that brings us to the dilemma of the Nigerian nation. It brings us to why we are stagnant. Who is going to check who? Who is going to investigate who? Where are the checks and balances?”

This has clearly indicated that the country is rife with thieves, who have continuously taken advantage of corruption, to steal from the commonwealth with no mercy, in a self-aggrandized attempt to fortify their personal wealth and political power.

A nation, where graduation from the upper stratum of academic institution with a certificate of service from the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) to match, doesn’t necessarily guaranty you a place in the hostile labour market – for it is written, in the ignoble book of corruption: “Only the children of the well-to-do shall get hold of all the juicy positions in the country”.

In this country, it is indeed a miracle for a son-of-a-nobody to make it to the top.

The truth be laid nude, the federal government has neither endorsed corruption nor has it crusaded vigorously against it – all we read on National Newspapers are either a campaign of calumny on dissenters or a prosecution of persecution.

The bane of monumental corruption has penetrated into the abysmal stem of the country’s geopolitical ecosystem, to a great extent, that even unemployed graduates have now mastered the act of shutting down recruitment websites with overwhelming views, in a bid to divulge their willingness for any job opportunity – imagine a recent situation where almost one million Nigerians were vying for 10, 000 slots in the Nigerian police 2016 recruitment!

Apparently on the brink of an indelible kakistocracy, government after government have continued to hoodwink the ‘languishing’ masses with demagogic propagandas only to assume power and then focus on the embezzlement from the nation’s coffer.A country, where a former military brass and his coterie of political bandits in the opposition party purloined and then shared over $2.1 billion – about N700 billion – from the nation’s purse – money meant for the purchase of weapons to fight Boko Haram insurgency, which directly led to the death of soldiers and innocent civilians across the North-Eastern states – and nobody has been sentenced to the penitentiary?

This is just as another military general, who instead of handing out a duly authorised salary increase to members of the Nigerian Air Force, kept the difference and collected $1.5 million a month throughout the duration of his tenure.

This is how some miserable, privileged collection of thieves and high office brigands, luxury in money meant for national usage and the judgemental rod is wielded on nobody?

You’d be so appalled by the amount of truths that lay beneath the veneer of their mendacious sleeves, for they have in shenanigan disguised a period of ‘holy fast’ to a feast in gluttony.

Should we then decide to use the N700billion as a benchmark on an estimated population of 170 million Nigerians? Each person would go home with the sum of N4,117, which would have at least put a smile on the faces of many.

A nation, where a rich and troublesome fellow in the Senate, who has an ostentatious avidity for fast cars and an exotic ego to complement his witless jocularity, is allowed to overtly threaten to beat and impregnate a colleague of equal status, and the country’s premier security agencies keep mum to the situation, but would be the first to smack the minors with lawsuit at the slightest of provocation.

This is merely a glimpse of corruption at the national level. How about the state and local government levels?

A country, where ‘change’ was the sloganized ‘bogus mantra’ of last year’s general elections but what is being dished to Nigerians is the flipside with the acute and spiralling inflation in almost all commodities in the country.

While the country is sandwiched in between a threat of secession in the Niger Delta region and a crave for Islamic Caliphate by militants of a notorious death cult in Northern Nigeria, the loquacious Minister of Information and Culture is engrossed in the evangelical ministry of advocacy for the ignoble cause of the presidency.

A nation, whose reputation is largely on the fall, while the local currency (Naira), and other commodities like; petrol; tomato; bread and even sachet water among others have soared, coupled with the severe slash in the salaries of angst-ridden civil servants.

The inimical scourge of austerity and untold hardship was made evident in the increase in the price of petrol, which further complicated the already compounded issue of epileptic power supply across the nation.

Following the inadequate supply of electricity, many Nigerians have relied on petrol to power their homes and offices, however with the increase in the twin – fuel and electricity bill – citizens have been left to rely on sunlight and trek among others to power productivity.

Sequel to the horrendous development, companies are shutting down, as the tempest of retrenchment has been provoked in every sector in the country, with thousands of Nigerians getting ripped apart by the repulsion of the economic tornado.

The way forward

In other for Nigeria to regain its depleting global veneration, all hands have to be on deck to ensure a stringent enforcement of the policies in the war against corruption.

Any person – from the President down to the junior-most civil servant – once indicted or charged should be impeached or allowed to resign before further interrogation can be conducted.

Once found guilt, (s)he should be made to feel the unadulterated wrath of the law not compromising the status, religion and ethnocentricity of the accused.

God Bless Nigeria!!

DailyPost made mistake writing N2.6bn instead of N1.6bn.. You guys just copy and paste without confirmation... that's terrible.

cnwokike:
Federal Government has paid the sum of N1.6bn to 638 awardees of the Youth Enterprise with Innovation in Nigeria, YouWin, programme, an initiative of the past government.
There have been fears about the government of President Muhammadu Buhari scrapping the programme, with series of protests over the delay in grants.

But Na’inna Dambatta, director of information at the ministry of information, said the money was paid in June.


He said under the programme which took off in 2011, a total of 18, 000 young entrepreneurs were trained in management and business skills for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

Dambatta said 3, 900 of the trainees, including 1, 200 women, were each given non-repayable take-off grants ranging from N1 million to a maximum of N10 million for businesses of their choice.

“The third edition of the programme, which is still running with 1,500 beneficiaries has received the sum of N11.2 billion in funding,” he said in a statement.

“So far, grants totaling N7.4 billion have been disbursed to the awardees.”


Kemi Adeosun, minister of finance, said the current administration was set to restructure the programme in line with its “change” agenda.

Adeosun said the restructuring would ensure efficiency, transparency and accountability in investing the capital grants given to the beneficiaries.

She added that all the commitments made by the federal government under the YouWIN programme would be fully met.

She said every beneficiary would be duly verified, using tools like bank verification number (BVN), before disbursements.

The minister said the federal government would begin consultations with the beneficiaries and other stakeholders of the programme to inject new ideas for its sustainability.

According to the statement, the ministry of finance, which has been running the programme from inception, will hold the consultation on July 22 in Abuja.

Winners of the third edition of the programme, earlier this month, stormed the headquarters of the ministry to protest the delay in the payment of their grants.

Twinkle is a monumental fraudster of epic proportion.. His penchant for untoward swindling is now vast and iconic.

Prevho:
The
guy is a confirmed scammer and thief.

His real name is Ayomide Adesogo, lives in Lagos.

Next time, do a Google search, there is a disclaimer on him already as a well known scammer.

I found this about him

http://twinklesmediaayomideadesogoisascammer..com.ng/2015/10/twinkles-media-and-ayomide-adesogo-are.html?m=1

My friend had an issue with him upto 40,000 naira and he ran away, we will still get him with BVN.

Apparently credited with the colossal extermination of more than 25,000 mortals within the ambit of the north-eastern sphere of world’s most populous black nation and the displacement of about 2.6 million since 2009, Nigeria’s radical Islamic death cult, Boko Haram, has luxuriated in the definitive profundity of death related from contemporaneous terrorism.

Transformation From A Rebellious Clan To A Lethal Islamic Death Cult

The group, Wilayat Gharb Afriqiya, which claimed to have pledged its ‘unalloyed’ allegiance to the "province" of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), is brutally acknowledged for bestial cruelty and cold-blooded ripping apart of lives from the blood pumping organ of life.

Likened by many as the ferocious animals of the sub-Saharan and Savannah, a mind’s eye of the Islamic death cult rings a frightening bell tantamount to gory scenes in horror movies, as carrying out attacks and slaughters of epic proportions are nothing but a much-loved hobby to the militants of the terror group.

Artistically branded the ‘Da Vinci of macabre’ homicides, the odious self-esteem of the militants hum in mantra the unruly slogan of combat and death, ‘it is either you kill or be killed’.

Metaphorically christened as the painters of grisly causalities, their guileful yearn for Islamic caliphate was betrayed by their tenet of dark understanding and inimical food for thought.

For they have failed to familiarise with the binary division of all principles and actions between ‘halal’ and ‘haram’ – In Arabic ‘lawful’ and ‘forbidden’ respectively.

Designated from Hell with the ‘loathsome’ garland of carnage and the mantle of the deadliest terror group to match, Boko Haram seeks after the establishment of a hard-line Islamic caliphate in Nigeria, so as to project Wahhabism, through means of cultural parochialism and religious dogmatism.

The heinous fraternity claimed to be abhorrent to the Westernization of Nigerian society, but have sophisticated themselves with the greatest benefits of Colonial heritage – cutting-edge weapons and state-of-the-art ammunition with the aid of Doctors, Engineers, and Scientists among others to wreck more bloodbaths to mankind.

They are a bunch of brainwashed monsters that have purposefully veered out of the divine creeds of Islam and then embraced in holy consummation the doctrines of Salafism – Jihad.

They are a cult of ferocious demons, who have sworn an ‘inviolable’ oath with Hell and Death to continuously transmute verve in life to lifelessness at the altar of mass butchering, most especially of those who contravene its barbaric doctrines and morally outrageous modus vivendi.

The brazenly indoctrinated villains are so vicious in atrocity; even soulless animals are not spared during their malevolent raids and ambushes in towns and communities which they have viewed as soft targets.

In order to ply their vile trade appropriately, the well-trained, fiendish emissaries from hell have mastered the several arts of warfare - from the shifting approach of guerrilla-style attacks, to the conventional capture and consolidation of territory, hit-and-run-style, and then the crafty circumvention of ambushes and entombment of landmines.

The levels of casualties, internal displacement and social disruption by the sect have incited a widespread crisis, spilling over the borders of neighbouring countries such as Niger, Cameroon and Chad.

Until April 2014, when their international recognition swelled overwhelmingly into a ‘wanted’ terrorist group, after they had laid siege and kidnapped 276 susceptible school girls from their dormitory in the serene and inconspicuous town of Chibok in Borno state, Boko Haram was only known to be a group of indigenous and religious hooligans.

They largely fed on the lingering, untold hardship, hopelessness and unemployment in the country to enroll intakes with the ‘false’ promise to enrich the rookies with the financial guts and weapons to go after the authorities of Nigeria, which they claimed have abandoned them - a spurious statement bored out of a dark dogma, flattered to deceive the gullible Nigerians.

The militants of the group had basked in the thought of inviolability and indestructibility, not knowing that they were living on borrowed time, as their days were not just numbered but over.

Military’s Takeover And The Fall Of An Islamic Death Cult

After taking over the supreme position of the country at the end of May, 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari renewed his commitment to end insurgency in Nigeria, by relocating the country’s Military headquarters from the apparently unruffled city of Abuja to the de facto, war-torn hotbed of Boko Haram activities in Maiduguri, Borno state.

A decision that was greeted with a ‘vote of confidence’ by many Nigerians, as it was an authoritative vitality restored in the mitochondria of the gallant troops of the Nation’s Armed Forces to wake up to clarion calls.

From that moment, the intrepid camouflage-clad combatants of the Nigerian Armed Forces took the war on terrorism to the frontlines of Boko Haram territories and then rein in meteorically, wielding the rod of annexation and annihilation.

Ground soldiers increasingly dealt crushing blows against the militants of the sect during several land combats, just as the Air Force aerially bombarded their strongholds, which led to the liberation of thousands living as hostages in the enclaves of the radical sect.

Following the interminable, unflinching counter-offensive operations by the military, Boko Haram fighters, who are notoriously known for their attacking vim and lethality, now appear a weaker force in apparent disarray.

They now appear to be reverting to using cash loans to recruit members as the nefarious cult struggles to maintain its numbers in the face of the continuing crackdown by Nigerian government forces.

“The group has deviated from its Yusufania philosophy after the death of the founder, Mohammed Yusuf, to a more radical one championed by a splinter group known as Jama’atu Ansarul Muslimina Fi Biladis Sudan, roughly translated as Vanguard for the Protection of Muslims in Black [Africa]. This group introduced the loans,” The Guardian reported.

Impeccable information gathered also revealed that scores of the emaciated-looking Boko Haram fighters, who grew weary from starvation bowed to the supreme dominion of the military, while a host of others, who have vowed to remain as diehards now survive on roots and unripe mangoes, as the valiant troops have succeeded in choking supply routes leading to food shortages.

With the stretched inaudibility of the shadowy leader of the group, Abubakar Shekau, the war against insurgency in Nigeria is but almost won.
A big kudos goes to the President Muhammadu Buhari led administration for making good its threat to obliterate Boko Haram insurgency from the country, during the ‘campaign’ eve of the 2015 presidential election.

A bigger knock goes to the current administration, which are yet to maximally achieve any other promises it made to Nigerians as the populace have been infused in the ocean of ineffable hardship – from the spiralling inflation of the naira to the removal of fuel subsidy.

The authorities of the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) and the Muslim Corpers Association of Nigeria (MCAN) have agreed on modalities that would make the orientation course conducive for the 2016/17 Batch A Stream (II) prospective corps members who are Muslims.

The resolve became vital as the date scheduled for the orientation course falls during the Ramadan period.

The Director of the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) had earlier today (Thursday) issued a statement rejecting the June 13 fixed date by the NYSC, saying that the date coincided with Muslim corps members’ Ramadan fast.

The statement read: “It is illegal, unlawful and unconstitutional for NYSC to hold camp at a time when its Muslim members will be deprived of their freedom of worship and the liberty to practice their creed without fear.”

“This planned camp is exclusive, discriminatory and parochial.”

“Any Nigerian institution dealing with schedules and programmes particularly the NYSC whose programmes are of such magnitude is expected to consider the dates and periods of important festivals, rituals and religious practices. This should form the core of its logistics. It is our humble opinion that NYSC headquarters has failed in its strategic planning by allowing its next camp to clash with the Ramadan period.”

“What happened to 21st May, 2016 which was the date earlier picked for the orientation? We do not want to believe that the shift was deliberately planned to coincide with the Ramadan season with a view to excluding prospective Muslim corpers.”

However, at a meeting between the MCAN executives and the management of the NYSC, the Director General, Brigadier General Suleiman Kazaure, said that the fixing of the orientation course during the Ramadan period was as a result of pressure from the would-be Corps members who argued that they had overstayed at home, The Eagle reports.

He also blamed the delayed disbursement of funds for the scheme as another reason the orientation course clashed with the Ramadan.

However, a statement by MCAN said the two teams have agreed on the modalities that would make it easy for Muslim Corps members to observe the Ramadan without too much hassles.

The statement on the outcome of the meeting read in part: “In fact, any muslim corps member who feels his fate cannot bear the camping environment as they are fasting should use the Masjid after they must have informed the MCAN Amir of their respective states.

“However, this has to be under a serious control system in order to prevent abuse of such opportunity.

“MCAN representatives who must have met with state coordinators will help in coming to a consensus with the state coordinator and camp commandant in regards to this.”

“Finally, inasmuch as the camping will be less demanding for those fasting and measures has been put in place to protect the spirituality of Muslims during this camp, WE PLEAD TO ALL MUSLIM CORPS MEMBERS NOT TO ABUSE THE PRIVILEGE and report anyone who might take advantage of such privilege to the right authorities.”

All Donkeys have been banned from entering Wajir, a town in north-eastern part of Kenya unless they wear nappies, a statement from Kenya authorities said on Thursday.

According to BBC reports, the authorities in Wajir said that the rule is aimed at protecting the town’s newly laid tarmac road.

The new road, which is the only tarmac road in Wajir town, was built last year and is 27km long.

The nappy notice, which was issued on Monday and came into affect on Thursday, stated that donkey-cart owners must manage their animal’s faeces “to avoid poop all over the tarmac road creating nuisance”.

The notice read: “[The county government] appreciates the contribution of the donkey-cart operators to the economy of Wajir… However the town must be kept clean at all times,” it says.

“In view of the above you are directed to manage your donkey poop (faeces)…. No donkey will be allowed in town without this poop-collecting bag.”

It is said that several cart owners are complying, as some even took to social media to share tips on how to attach nappy sacks.


It was learnt that a similar order was issued in Limuru, about 50km north-west of the capital, Nairobi, in 2007 but it was never put into practice.

Why insulting me? It is apparently demeaning to hear you use slur words on me before your Boss, Seun. As a moderator, you should always maintain a decent comportment before Nairaland users, which i am also one. Am highly disappointed with you dude.

How is this connected to foolery when you – as a moderator - should be remorseful for allowing miscreants and fraudsters impersonate liberally on this prestigious platform…

I would not insult you but rather question the kind of moderators employed to work under Mr Seun Osewa.

Why insulting me? It is apparently demeaning to hear you use slur words on me before your Boss, Seun. As a moderator, you should always maintain a decent comportment before Nairaland users, which i am also one. Am highly disappointed with you dude.

iamexcelblog:
Datboyjerry, will you foolishly delete the young lady's contact from your post first and her picture and then look for other things.... Gosh... Why are people so dumb and daft these days?

Edit your first post as instructed by Seun!

This young lady has been trying to reach you for days now so that the needful can be done. According to her, the link is still accessible, i assure you am taking in down once the link becomes inaccessible

Seun:
Do you realise that you've just posted the name, picture and phone numbers of the person whose privacy you are supposedly trying to protect?

Mynd44 says he already banned the person who stole the young lady's id and already hid all her posts. He has just hidden the quotes as well.

The only remaining violation of the young lady's privacy is the content datboyjerry posted on this thread in the name of protecting her privacy.

datboyjerry is therefore advised to take down this privacy-violating content.

Can i please get your contact so i can call you? Need your help on an urgent matter.

The attention of the management of Nairaland has been drawn to a certain fraudulent activity of an impersonator on its prestigious platform.

A report has reached us from an angst-ridden, young lady on how a fraudster, who claims to be a Nairalander, is currently perpetrating duplicitous activities using the name, photographs and details of her twin sister.

According to the Nigerian lady, who craves for justice, several attempts to get to the owner of the platform, Mr. Seun Osewa or any moderator proved abortive.

She desires that the account be disabled from the online forum.

She hereby warns the general public to disregard the user of the account – who claimed to be her sister – adding that whoever is doing business with the Nairaland user is doing so at his or her own risk.

Her words: “This account “chiomaemodi” was spitefully set up by an unknown personality in a bid to witch hunt and defame my sister’s character.”

“The fraudster went to the great length of stealing pictures from my sister’s IG account to deceive people.

https://www.nairaland.com/search?q=chiomaemodi&search=Search

“The baffling thing about this whole issue is that people can get away with things like this in this country. All efforts to reach Mr. Seun Osewa or any Administrator of Nairaland to remove or block this account have been futile.”

“This is very disheartening as the perpetrator of this act can do this to another decent young girl.”

“My sister is an upcoming model and student and this has been very trying for her as she keeps getting silly calls from perverts on Nairaland.”

Oh Linda Ikeji! Why hast thou birthed monumental plagiarism and then slain the Nation’s reportage with the nauseating stench of your online, professional misconduct?

From the inceptive conception of weblog – contemporary version of journalism - to when it started to garner contending popularity in Nigeria, you have been the only one winning the war on perfecting plagiarism and piracy. You are the only one revelling on the fortunate bounty of online illegality.


The truth be told, Linda Ifeoma Ikeji is the ‘numero uno’ of Bloggers in Nigeria; she is the cynosure and criterion of the Nigerian blogosphere in the sight of the World as much as the Jay Z of the blogging community.


Just like the CNN of the United States and the BBC of the United Kingdom, Lindaikeji..com (LIB) is indubitably a household name in Nigeria.


LIB is collectively like the two sides of a coin: the good news about Linda’s success is that the Forbes ranked most successful Nigerian blogger, who attracts an alarming influx of audiences on daily basis, has really gone a long way in carving her appellation indelibly as Nigeria’s number one blogger; however, the bad news is that she went the wrong way in portraying the illustrious standard of journalism in the world’s most populous black Nation as most of her articles have been found to be tainted in plagiarism.


It is a known fact and one that has stirred several conflicts in the country’s ‘ever-pulsating’ blogging community as reputable Nigerians, who are conversant with the internet, have accused LIB of either publishing articles that are plagiarised, baseless or highly scandalous.


On October 8, 2014, LindaIkeji’s blog was shut down by her service provider, Google for undisclosed reasons. It was then restored on October 10, 2014.
Apparently, the rationale behind the closure might not be unconnected to her chronic indictment to the use of several authors’ hard earned materials without getting getting permission from them or crediting them accordingly.


Reacting to the closure of her blog, Mr. Kola Ogunlade, a Google correspondent, said: "We take violations of policies very seriously as such activities diminish the experience for our users. When we are notified of the existence of content that may violate our Terms of Service, we act quickly to review it and determine whether it actually violates our policies. If we determine that it does, we remove it immediately."


It is seemingly a pathetic breakthrough for African journalism as several international pundits and onlookers have relied on such blogs (her blog) for a broad definition of regional reports within this geographical ambit.


LIB has deviated from the basics, ethics and rudimentary necessities of reportage and has delved into malevolent and maladroit journalism, with the sole aim to promote social media ruckus and imbroglio.


Infamously known as ‘Nigeria's Queen of Blogging’, Linda Ikeji’s blog strikes a chord as a genuine contender for the World’s best ‘copy and paste’ blog of the year – I think she merits a Grammy or better still any well recognised award for that.


I would also not be astounded if she is nominated as one of the top 10 lifter of materials ‘word for word’ from other website for the past 10 years, for LIB is notoriously known to tiptoe into other websites with the untoward aim of obtaining information she knows little or nothing about, and then claiming the stolen information – with her watermark or seal - brazenly.


She needs to be adorned with a sobriquet of grand-travesty to show for her immense contribution to copyright infringement and content piracy.


She is synonymously a religious high priestess, who has succeeded to guile her lackeys and staunch followers to always read from her platform of interesting balderdash.


Just like a shaman, Aunty Linda is nothing but a false god.


LIB is the apex predacious bugaboo in the food chain of Nigeria’s blogosphere, who buffets on the hard earned materials of her prey - several authors - in other to satisfy her unsavoury lust for unprecedented fame through a well-processed shenanigan.


LIB is overly submerged in the ocean of ‘weblog lifting’; she barely knows she is a culprit. She seeks for instant gratification, while peddling her gossips, without painstaking effort.


She is bankrupt to invention and creativity.


Linda is doggedly unapologetic to angst-ridden outcry of resentment when carrying out her poignant ‘faux pas’, as she believes the country’s blogging community is a laissez-faire; a global village where she can do whatever she likes and go scot-free.


She is never bereft of provocative stardom as her rare breed of crafty ingenuity draws a thin line between joyous flippancy and ruthless precision, which then embellishes the mark of the Midas touch in her to wreck more chaos in the country’s blogging community.


Linda wakes up every morning to serve a section of the celebrated members of the society with the gifts of pain, misery and agony as she believes she has been decorated with the prerogatives to braggadocio and the bragging rights to approve and veto.


She is not just an online criminal, but a debased misanthrope, who feels most alive when disparaging other humans. But this time, the exported jibes point at her.
Beneath the veneer of what she calls professional journalism lays acrimonious schadenfreude.


LIB is a haughty demagogue, who is quick to rabble-rouse a social media commotion, quicker to want to prove the outcome of her professional curiosity as being right, quickest to emotionalise the whole situation by introducing gender prejudice or partiality with phrase like ‘I went as far as I did for me and for other women.’


Even when Linda tries to defend the interest of women, we all know she does it only with ulterior motives. Permit me to use the ‘ugly sighted’ scenario, where the Olomofin brothers publicly mortified Beat FM OAP Gbemi Olateru-Olagbebi with profanity-filled Instagram posts. Linda’s reaction (via her blog) betrayed the solemn pledge she made to always stand for womanhood.


Just recently, I was skimming through the accounts of popular Nigerians on Twitter and Linda Ikeji, with more than 1 million followers is the most popular Nigerian with an unverified account.


Allegorically, it means that the social networking service has not yet acknowledged her incredible impact in the Nigerian blogosphere. I mulled over repeatedly on why Twitter did not recognize Aunty Linda even when she had met all the necessary requirements; knowing well that she commands droves of parody accounts.


It might not be unrelated to the fact that she has been perceived to be a Quasi-celebrity who has had an extensive career in promoting public nuisance.


The only mania comprehendible to the millions of Naira Linda ‘chop money’ has garnered from blogging is her proclivity to controversies and scandals about basic celebrities.


As a side-celebrity or perhaps a quasi-celebrity, LIB has the special knack to eavesdrop into celebrities’ privacy to get reports that are merely figment and restrained of veracity, or perhaps beautified in calumny; one meant to dishonour and question the credibility of the public figure.


Not long ago, an old vendetta was triggered between she and Wizkid which later developed into a full-blown, heated war of words.


Linda had on Instagram posted that the Landlady of the Lekki home, which Wizkid claimed to have purchased, gave him a notice to quit, arguing further that the Porsche bought by the ‘Ojuelegba’ crooner was on hire purchase. Not still satisfied, she said he was more than 25 years, an age he claimed to be.


The outcome of the domestic drama was nothing short of shame and infamy as morally inexcusable words were traded openly to the delight of netizens around the world.


Aunty Linda’s odious courtesy is a real oddity as she has continuously amassed odium and foes.


She has in the past years earned notoriety with scandalous publications on celebrities such as Tonto Dike, Funke Akindele, Toke Makinwa, Richard Mofe Damijo, Pastor Chris Okotie, and then not on friendly terms with the likes of Jim Iyke (her alleged former boyfriend), Olamide, Wizkid, 9ice, Tony Payne among others.


It will be recalled in 2013, the founder and general overseer of the Household of God Church, Pastor Chris Okotie, was peeved by the unpleasant taste of Linda’s gossip on him, where she accused him of endorsing tattoos for Christians.


Addressing the false publication, Rev Chris said: “As you read this, a causal remark made by Rev Okotie in response to a parishioner’s question on the propriety of Christians having tattoos was twisted to portray the man of God as endorsing the untoward practice.
“One Linda Ikeji used her blog to promote this falsehood when a refutal was sent to her, she refused to publish it because invariably it would call to question the credibility of her medium which enjoys considerable following because it is one of those mills whose offering is consumed by the gullible public. “
“In a craze to stay popular on the web and maintain a huge following, bloggers like this often do not bother to ascertain the veracity of stories before publishing. “
“They get away with this professional misconduct because they are not bound by any ethical standard; all they care about is money made from inflicting untold injuries on the integrity of credible citizens. This is the down side of the social media.”
“But ultimately, purveyors of falsehood do not last because conscience is an open wound that only truth can heal. You may fool the people some of the time but you cannot fool them all the time.”
“One day monkey will go to the market and will not return, is a local adage. That should be the consolations for victims of the social media mob like Okotie and others who are suffering in silence. The days of the jackals are surely numbered.”


What interested me most in this quoted statement by the charismatic Man of God was the aspect he spoke about “Linda getting away with the professional misconduct because they are not bound by any ethical standard”.


Indeed, he was right as no effective, ethical standard or stringent law bind copyrights infringement and content piracy in Nigeria.


I think there is a need for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to check and scrutinise the activities of bloggers of nowadays, who have found a new line of vocation to purvey gossips and peddle ‘unconfirmed’ hate speech, and then treat those culpable as criminals.


Quite a lot of us have been victims of this tragic breakthrough, but whenever the country’s premier anti-graft agency is ready to wield the interrogative hammer, please do start with Aunty Linda, the ‘Mother of Plagiarism’.


Meanwhile, Reverend Chris Okotie has served you (Linda) with a strong-worded caution, “one day monkey will go to the market and will not return.”

NYSC: Prospective Corps Members Vent “We’ve Paid But Not Given The Call Up Num” http:///fb/44bB9r"

View link to find out how plenty nigerians are complaining about paid and not given call up num.
http://www.360nobs.com/2014/10/nysc-prospective-corps-members-vent-weve-paid-but-not-given-the-call-up-num/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+360nobscom+%28360Nobs.com%29

Incongruous reactions ensue over payment and delivery of call up numbers online, as the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) approached its deadline of ultimatum yesterday on 12. Oct, 2014.

While some are celebrating, large chunks of the prospective Batch C corps members popularly known as otondos are grumbling over the fact that they registered and paid the required N4,060 and have not yet received their call-up numbers via E-mail.

In the light of the foregone, the N4,060 was reportedly meant to computerize the issuance of call-up letters to save prospective corps members the stress of traveling to their various schools to collect the same. The idea was tagged as online registration of corps members.

On that basis, the NYSC authorities said the payment was not mandatory for every corps member but for those wishing to get their call-up online.



While congratulatory messages of “Successfully Mobilized for Deployment” with the call-up number were mailed to some, starting on 5th October. Others confess that they have not gotten theirs yet.

We hope NYSC addresses this issue with explicit reasons to why their call-up letter were delayed or what went wrong during their Registration process, e.g. not corresponding Jamb registration number, improper method of registration, still on process. etc via their mail else the NYSC will hastily introduce Nigerians to the “Tale of On-line Call-up Shambles.”

The head of the sport’s governing body has labelled the controversial kit worn by the Colombian women’s cycling team as “unacceptable”.
The flesh-coloured kit makes the wearer appear naked below the waist and was worn by the riders for the Bogota Humana team during the Tour of Tuscany. Images of six women wearing the otherwise red and yellow kit went viral on social media over the weekend.
The Colombian team which is supported by the South American country’s ministry of sport and is sponsored by the capital city of Bogota were wearing the outfit to take part in the cycling competition in Italy.
Brian Cookson, the president of the International Cycling Union, had now joined the debate.
The intervention of Cookson makes it unlikely that the kit will be seen again. Among leading riders criticising the outfits was the Welsh former Commonwealth, Olympic and world road race champion Nicole Cooke.

A man born with physical disabilities so severe his head is Upside-down has defied the odds to become an inspirational public speaker. Claudio Vieira de Oliveira, 37, was born with his neck folded back on itself, as well as badly deformed legs and almost no use of his arms and hands. Doctors told his mother to stop feeding him as a newborn as they believed he had no chance of survival. But Claudio from Monte Santo, Brazil, has overcome his extreme disadvantages to graduate as an accountant and become a public speaker. Continue…

“Since I was a child I’ve always liked to keep myself busy and work – I don’t like to depend totally on other people. I do a bit of accounting, research for clients and consulting. I have learned to turn on the TV, pick up my cell phone, turn on the radio, use the internet, my computer – I do it all by myself.” he said.


Claudio types with a pen held in his mouth, operates phones and a computer mouse with his lips and has specially made shoes that allow him to move around town. His determined independence saw him succeeding at school and qualifying as an accountant from the State University of Feira de Santana.
When Claudio was born, doctors told his mother Maria Jose he would not be able to survive. Maria Jose said:

“People started saying ‘the baby is going to die’ because he could barely breathe when he was born. Some people would say: ‘Don’t feed him, he is already dying’. But there’s only happiness now. Claudio is just like any other person – that’s how he was raised in this house. We never tried to fix him and always wanted him to do the normal things everyone else does. That’s why he is so confident. He is not ashamed of walking around in the street – he sings and he dances.”


At eight years old, Claudio, who had previously been carried everywhere, began to walk on his knees. His family had to change the floor of the house so he could walk around without injuring himself. Claudio’s bed, plugs and lights had to be made lower so that he could do things for himself without asking for help. He cannot use a wheelchair because of his unusual shape, making it hard for him to be independent outside the home – but he begged his mother to be allowed to go to school and learn with the other children. Doctors have recently diagnosed him with a rare condition called congenital arthrogryposis.

They believe he has multiple joint contractions in his legs and arms which mean they cannot extend properly. Claudio said: “Throughout my life I was able to adapt my body to the world. Right now, I don’t see myself as being different. I am a normal person. I don’t see things upside-down. This is one of the things I always talk about in my interventions as a public speaker. “Nowadays it’s much easier to deal with the public, I’m not afraid of it anymore and I can say that I am a professional, international public speaker and that I receive invitations from all over the world

Hazard sought out Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho to ask for the No 10 shirt when Juan Mata left
The Belgian wanted to carry the number of hero Zinedine Zidane on his back
Hazard is the new cover star of FIFA 15 alongside Barcelona's Lionel Messi 
When Juan Mata slipped through the Chelsea exit, Eden Hazard was quick to assess the situation, spot the opening and explode into action, much as he does on the pitch.

He sought out Jose Mourinho to ask for the No 10 shirt. He wanted to carry the number of his hero, Zinedine Zidane, on his back but he was under no illusions.

Hazard was not expecting Mourinho to transform him into the team’s showman or hand him the licence to play where he liked, absolved of all defensive chores.
For one thing, it is not the way the Chelsea manager operates. For another, Hazard feels the luxury playmaker, the iconic No 10, may be gone for good. Modern football is a blur of pace, mobility and industry.

‘I think football is finished with No 10,’ said the Belgian, formerly known as Chelsea’s No 17. ‘You have to play with two wingers and one striker. No more No 10. When I was young I played No 10, but now I’m a left winger or a right winger. During the game you can change.’

‘When Juan left the club I asked: “Can I take the No 10?” The manager said: “Yes, no problem”. But it’s just a number. If I play the same as last season, it’s not because I have the No 10. I have to do more.

‘I wanted it because it was the number of my idol, Zidane, not when he was at Real Madrid (where he wore No 5) but before in the French League.’ Hazard is shy of the obvious comparisons. Can he emulate Zidane? ‘Maybe one day; maybe one day,’ he smiled.

For all his individual brilliance as a dynamic winger, valued by Chelsea far higher than the £32million they paid when signing him from Lille two years ago, Hazard has rarely wallowed in his status.
He prefers to dazzle on the field and disappear into the shadows. Mourinho has tried to coax more from him, encouraging Hazard to embrace responsibility as one of the outstanding talents in the team, but he is a modest personality.

He does not crave attention like, for example, Cristiano Ronaldo, although he is unquestionably one of the poster boys of the Barclays Premier League and in commercial demand. He has the power to sells tickets, boots, shirts... you name it.

Hazard is the new pack star of FIFA 15 and attempts to do this interview, designed to coincide with its launch, in English. He is trying to speak more in English since his friend and interpreter Demba Ba moved from Chelsea to Besiktas.

‘It’s too much for me, actually,’ replied Hazard, when asked about becoming Chelsea’s answer to Ronaldo or Lionel Messi. ‘I don’t like it. I am not this year better than them. They are here and I am here,’ he says, holding his hands flat, one at head height and one by his chest.

‘I need to work,’ he went on. ‘I am getting closer. I was voted the Young Player of the Year, but I am 23. My first trophy in France was the Young Player of the Year. I was 17. Chelsea is not just one player. It is not only me. We have signed a lot of players. Now we have some good signings like Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa.

‘Diego can score and that is good for me. Fabregas is one of the best midfielders in the world and we can have the chance to play, not better than last season because we had a lot of good games, but in an offensive style. I think together we can beat every team.’

I was among the many Nigerians who literally took to the streets in celebration of the successful coalition of the three legacy parties namely, All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP), Congress For Progressive Change (CPC), Action Congress of Nigeria (A.C.N) and a faction of APGA led by sen. Annie Okonkwo that formally coalesced into the All progressive Congress (APC) on the 13th of July, 2013.

My joy was borne out of nothing other than, that at last the dream of a well structured opposition government that would keep the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) on their toes and possibly give them a run for their money at elections. What is more? Democracies they say,are as good as the opposition government therein. So for Nigeria, with the official formation of APC, I believed our democracy was in for good.
I was also elated that the PDP’s hold on the Nation was soon to wane after 15 years rule or mis-rule if you like. For a political party that bragged to rule the country for 60 years,(a statement which I considered at the time an insult to the sensibilities of over 170 million Nigerians) there is no way one wouldn’t be happy seeing a handful of men and women coming into the picture to defeat such provoking braggadocio. Such was it. So I followed this new political train closely. Reading every single literature that has APC on or in it, to know more about the party and their message of salvation to a teeming poor population of Nigerians denied of the basic social amenities like water, healthcare facilities, electricity and motorable roads by the PDP apparatchik for a little more than a decade which it has been in the saddle.
After the customary celebrations and the histrionic hoisting of brooms and goodwill messages on the pages of National dailies, I waited patiently for the new party to show that it is indeed the messiah sent to rescue us from the pharoahs of PDP. I looked keenly to observe the slightest inkling of a difference between the new party and the PDP, but that effort would come to nought. Little did I know.
Before one could shut the windows, the new party began to show signs of everything but signature progressives or political messiahs. One would have thought that the new opposition government would embark on a massive sensitization campaign to sell its policies to the masses which ordinarily they should have at heart. But that was not to be. Instead of that, the so-called progressives betrayed all caution and political genuis to woo elements within the PDP who they had before now called all sort of names; from crooks to thieves to undemocratic neonthertals, into their camp. I simply made one judgment out of such political mistake albeit made with the most conscious mind-This progressives so-called, lack confidence in the vast majority of Nigerians, they placed the elements in the PDP they sought for their signature above the masses. And by going back to their vomit, and suddenly becoming strange bed fellows, even an insane was able to picture the political mindset of this opposition. So I was disappointed. I simply dismissed them for disgruntled elements seeking to drink from the intoxicating chalice of power at Aso Rock.
These are everything but progressives, I told myself.
I had expected the new party to show to the masses why they are a better alternative to the PDP by formulating policies that has prospects of affecting the lives of Nigerians. I had expected them to suggest possible ways of creating jobs through workshops or seminars organised for the discussion of such issues. One would have expected them to suggest possible ways out of the security brouhaha the nation is muddled in but all they could do, was condemn and condemn and condemn the PDP again and again. It became so boring.
While they may nurse the ambition as with any other opposition government, of unseating the ruling PDP, I had thought they would work in collaboration with the government of the day through regular advises and criticisms that do not ooze hatred for the government at the centre and unnecessarily overheat the polity.
But that was not to be. It only took a little more time before it became clear that the hurried merger of the legacy parties was all in a bid to unseat the PDP come 2015-This was their greatest undoing. Change does not come so quick anywhere, however people may yearn for it. It is this greedy taste for power at the centre that has done this opposition the greatest harm.
While Nigerians may want a change of government, they are no fools to subscribe to a change without convincing signs. That is not the kind of opposition Nigerians need.
They need an opposition that will distinguish itself from the mess that is PDP and build a political church from the scratch however long it takes to roof. Not one that hobnobs with the same people it seek to unseat for parochial gains. Doing so, puts a big question mark on the principles of such a movement. It shows a morbid greed for power which must be actualised at all cost. It is immaterial whether it defeats their sworn principles and contradicts their entire ideology of Change. Such was/is the APC. Certainly this is not the type of Opposition NIgeria needed.
We needed an opposition that does not think change can only be possible if it wins government at the centre. We needed to see an opposition with exploits in little things. We need an opposition whose members in the state Houses of Assembly, House of representatives and the senate move a motion for the cutting of their astronomical wage bills. Nigerians yearn for an oppisition whose governors in the states under their control show uncommon patriotism and statesmanship by cutting their wage bills and those of their aides and even reduce its wastefulness on luxuries. An opposition that goes to the street to feel the pulse of the people, an opposition which stops at nothing to reduce the cost of learning in our institutions and not one that milk the masses dry through organised extortion carried into execution through fee hike. Not an opposition which constantly speaks as though it has a magic wand to wave.
We need an opposition that would constantly keep the government of the day on their toes through constructive criticisms and suggestion of better ways to handle national issues to prove to Nigerians that it has the capacity to do better if elected into power and not one that takes pleasure in the misfortune of the Country and go ahead to score political points from it. We don’t need an opposition that constantly chide the ruling PDP for not being able to correct the insecurity glitch in the country without suggesting possible ways out of this current ugly episode of state terrorism. Nigerians, do not need an opposition that constantly critique the PDP for not being able to secure the release of the abducted Chibok girls but would not suggest possible ways for their successful release neither do they need an opposition that plays into the hands of the west at the risk of our National integrity, just to mimick our president and present him as incapable before western elements elsehwere for international endorsement.
We need an opposition that works with the government but advancing their agenda of possible takeover of the country. An opposition that constantly in a show of stupidity, sweeps off wherever the president of the day steps his foot, an opposition that derive pleasure in the use of language that divide the people further than they are decimated is not what Nigeria needs. A shadow government that uses such controversial phrases such as, “RIg and Roast”, “Dogs and Baboon” that urge electorates to visit the polling booths with charms, that is always jittery at the dawn of elections is not a plus to any democracy but a potential problem to it.
An opposition that sees no good in the little gains of the ruling PDP and constantly bask in the assurances of an untopian state that has been everything but exemplified in the states under their watch need not be taken serious by any serious political mind. That political persuasions differ, is not a ground fertile enough to plant the seed of discord that has no good for the polity.
The foregoing are the array of political errors which unfortunately the main opposition-APC which I had high expectations for, has made the modus operandi of their journey to unseat the ruling PDP but which I’m sure would be to their greatest detriment. For while Nigerians may be tired of the PDP and their 14 years of what some people call ‘mis-rule’ but which I’m adverse to, what the APC has brought to the table thus far, shows that they are not a better alternative. Not only is the party run by a Lagos Bourdilion according to his whim and caprice, the general feelings across some quaters of the country is that, the opposition fans the embers of the insurgency ravaging the nation to blackmail the presidency and therefore, many as is vintage of Nigerians have sworn to stay on the PDP ship as the broom with which the APC intends to sweep away the PDP is laden with blood of innocent citizens killed by Boko Haram militants which many believe are sponsored by northern elements within the APC or are sympathetic to their cause, hence why some has labelled it a Boko Haram party.
In the final analysis, the clock seems to be ticking for the APC. It has a huge image laundering to do if it intends to do away with the PDP at Aso Rock at the forthcoming 2015 general elections. To do so, it must desist from its consistent rable rousing and politics of bitterness that only makes the massess develop more love for the PDP and focus more on steps that puts it in the light of a political messiah, divinely designed to salvage an obviously lethargic nation with ominous signs of being captained by a crew that seem to have lost its coordinates.
But certainly, what they have put forth thus far, bears no relic of the kind of opposition Nigeria need. WE WARN.

Good to have you on board humbleman

As the music industry embarks on a new era of emcees, rappers are destined to leave their own imprint in the game. Their versatility and dynamic stage presence puts them in a league of their own. Their hard bars, distinctive hooks, delivery, content and concepts sets them apart from many other aspiring rappers. Standing out in an ever changing music industry is no easy task, but these rappers have developed a recipe for success. You can only tell the uniqueness in their lyrics, the creative metaphor and originality in their style if you can relate to the message in their music, and this is what makes a rapper outstanding, and lacks in the soul of indigenous rappers.
Music is meant to be a universal language, indigenous rappers are more likely restricted to a set of culture, their delivery and beat is what most fans fall in love with leaving them uninformed.
