In my digital nomadic adventure, I stumbled on an advert promoting my click to a download page for a Federal Government owned mobile app which makes for authentic and fast news and information access and jobs.

The app is called FGN iApp [See images below].

Upon checking it out, the following crossed my mind:

1. What is the necessity of an app if not for propoganda and mischievous aims?
2. Is this really an initiative of the federal government or some unscrupulous social elements?
3. If this is actually owned by the FG, how much has been sunk into it?
4. Is this even sustainable?
5. What more can I say?

On checking the app info and reviews, I realised it was privately developed and has not comment section, making for a one way communication.

You can check it out yourself.

Five political parties met in Abuja on Thursday and vowed to work together to unseat the All Progressives Congress in 2019 .

The political parties are the former ruling party , the Peoples Democratic Party, Peoples Redemption Party, Social Democratic Party, Alliance for Democracy and Accord Party.
Our correspondent gathered that the meeting was the brainchild of the PDP .

A former Minister of Infirmaries, Prof. Jerry Gana , was said to have led the PDP delegation to the meeting .

Gana, who was the chairman of the PDP Strategy Review and Inter - Party Affairs Committee , had said in Abuja on Wednesday that the PDP was planning to collaborate with other political parties ahead of the 2019 general election .

He said the meeting however had nothing to do with the rumoured mega party , “ but a separate and highly principled initiate of the PDP .”

The five parties said that almost two years now down the road, it was abundantly clear to everyone whether inside or outside Nigeria that the “ so - called promise of change was indeed not for positive change but rather a pipe dream that unleashed a series of retrogressive actions that has put our country permanently on the reverse gear .”

They noted that since assuming office in 2015 , the present government had reneged on its electoral promises , and had also messed up the economy and scared away foreign investors by its pronouncements.

In the communique issued after the meeting , the five political parties said that they were yielding to the desire of Nigerians to save the country .

They said they would stand “ united and steadfastly work together in the interest of the vast majority of our people who are now suffering and traumatised by the visionless and dictatorial antics of the government of the day . ”

The five parties also said that they “ shall constitute ourselves into an effective, responsible and fearless watchdog and by mutual agreement broaden the base of the opposition so as to constitute an alternative reliable political option for our people and will therefore ensure that henceforth , the electoral and security umpires act strictly within the dictates and ethics of their profession .”

They alleged that the Federal Government had failed Nigerians in the above areas .

According to them , “ That as a positive reaction to the above listed failures of the present regime , and to give hope to all our people , this forum shall work out in detail , in a joint memoranda , a list of basic fundamental requirements necessary for a descent and healthy society that our people eminently deserve and we will jointly endorse those requirements and commit to working assiduously to achieving them in the shortest possible time .

“ We , The United Forum of Democrats, uphold the recommendations of the 2014 National Conference and are resolved to work earnestly for its full implementation .

“ That we shall work together henceforth in all upcoming elections as we approach 2019 to ensure we enthrone genuine democracy , good governance , respect for the rule of law and put an end to the reign of civilian dictatorship .
“ That we are committed going forward to work for the establishment at the centre and in as many states as possible people -oriented participatory governments that will entrench the values, ideals and cherished principles of the United Forum of Democrats. ”

The domain was registered 17th December 2016 and sold on 30th January. It was listed at sedo.com with a BIN and parked at bodis.com. the buyer saw it at bodis.com and offered to buy it for $30 and that he needs it for a small project. I was excited but countered his offer with $249. He then increased his offer price to 150 euro and I accepted. I gave him the options of escrow.com or PayPal, but that I must receive the money in PayPal account before transferring the domain name. He accepted to use PayPal, once the money was received, I then transferred the domain to him.

Thanks, Bros.

MMM: It has almost become a household name, as it uncommon not to hear it referenced either in closed or open conversations.

Mavrodi Mundial Moneybox, MMM, as it fondly called is a ponzi scheme which operates as a wonder bank, giving its investors at least 30% of their investments after a period of 30 days.

For many Nigerians, especially the youths, the MMM scheme has been a major financial aid as the country grapples with an era of economic recession.

Findings by TheNewsGuru.com reveal that the scheme which only allows an individual to use a single bank account for transactions upon registering as a user, has led to an increase in the number of bank accounts that have been opened in various Nigerian banks over the last six months.

Our findings also revealed that the MMM scheme may have also increased the banking culture of Nigerians, as many who have abandoned their bank accounts are now reactivating it for transfer and receipt of funds, due to the operational policy of the ponzi scheme, called MMM.

Nigerian Air Force says it was an incident, not a crash

Barely two months after the presidency handed over two aircraft in the Presidential fleet to the Nigerian Air Force, an investigation has revealed that one of the ballistics defence capable aircraft has been seemingly, poorly managed and crashed at the Nigerian Air Force base, Makurdi.

[url]TheNewsGuru.com[/url] gathered from a top, reliable source that one of the aircraft, Agusta AW 101, a medium-lift helicopter specially designed for military operations, got crashed less than a month after the Nigerian Air Force took delivery of it from the presidency, due to poor training of crew members saddled to man the operations of the aircraft.

When contacted, the Nigerian Air Force, P.R.O., Group Captain Dele Famuyiwa, denied the report that one of the aircraft crashed.

In a telephone conversation with TheNewsGuru.com, Famuyiwa said that the aircraft was not involved in a crash but an incidence of little effect.

“It was not a crash. I wouldn’t call it a crash because it just fell on the ground in Makurdi.”
