Hatiku for President

Wow!!
2015 gonna be very interesting . Not going to be business as usual

The All Progressives Congress (APC) South East zone, on Sunday, reiterated that it was not opposed to President Goodluck Jonathan running for presidency in 2015, as he has the constitutional right to contest.



The party was reacting to the endorsement of President Jonathan as Igbo candidate by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) South-East political leaders, during the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN) rally in Awka, Anambra State on Saturday.

Notable PDP Igbo political leaders, including Chairman of the South-East Governors Forum, Governor Theodore Orji of Abia State; Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu; Josephine Anenih, who represented Nigerian women in the zone; billionaire businessman, Arthur Eze; former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha, who spoke on behalf of the South-East caucus of the National Assembly had united in asking the President to contest.

Reacting to the rally in a statement by its spokesman, Osita Okechukwu, the APC South East said that while it was not opposed to the inalienable and constitutional rights of Jonathan to contest, it was “opposed to the scant strategy adopted by ‘Ndigbo-Chop-Sand-Band’ of politicians, who crave to put all our eggs in one basket, foreclose the chances of a president of Igbo extraction and subject the hardworking and enterprising Igbos to perpetual beggarly status.

The statement reads further: “Ndigbo-Chop-Sand-Band drummers are not interested whether President Jonathan performed or not, whether he honoured the promises he made to Ndigbo during the 2011 electioneering campaign nor whether his presidential slot impedes on the chances of our producing a president of Igbo extraction in the nearest future.

“Otherwise, how come that up to date there is no Environmental Impact Assessment, no private sector counterpart funding, only N30b Sure-P-Fund taxed from the people and most importantly, why the 2nd Niger Bridge is not captured in the federal budget, since according to the drummers, Jonathan so loves Ndigbo?

“The Chop-Sand-Band thinks that Ndigbo’s memory is so short to forget that it was His Royal Majesty, the Obi of Onitsha, Agbogidi, Igwe Alfred Nnaemaka Achebe, who in February this year, woke our dear President from deep slumber over the promise he made on the 2nd Niger Bridge; upon which fire service approach of Public, Private Partnership was enacted.

“Or is it not amusing that Professor Chinedu Nebo, Minister of Power, one of the drummers, who talked of Grand Expectation Journey (GEJ), couldn’t tell Ndigbo why the Coal project has not taken off-ground and what happened to N927m, N1.7b and N1.1b budgeted for the study survey of Enugu and Gombe Coal in 2012, 2013 and 2014 respectively? The Revamping of Coal was one of our Grand Expectation Journey, premised on the promise made by Jonathan at South East PDP Zonal rally during the 2011 electioneering campaign, yet 7he so loves Ndigbo!” APC South East stated.

The APC group added, “In sum, our fear is that the core ingredient of election, which is a referendum on the performance of the incumbent may not prevail, as the Chop-Sand-Band are constructing a scenario where President Jonathan like in 2011, would be allocated millions of votes in the South East, without commensurate performance.”

As part of commitment to ensure provision of quality education in Imo state, the State Governemnt has laid the foundation of the Imo State University (IMSU) Mbaise/Ngorokpala campus, which is to house the faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine.



During the foundation laying of the university campus at Mbaise- Ngorokpala federal constituency in Imo state, Governor Rochas Okorocha, described the project as the realisation of the Late Governor Sam Mbakwe’s dream 30 years ago.

The Governor noted that the state government will fast track the completion of the school complex so that the first set of students can resume by December 2014.

When the Imo State University Owerri was established 3 decades ago by late Governor Sam Mbakwe, one of his visions was that the faculty of agriculture and veterinary medicine be situated at Mbaise-Ngorokpala area of the state to foster development and increase economic activities in the area but until the end of his tenure, the vision did not come to fruition.

The Vice Chancelor  of the university Professor Ukachukwu Awuzie, praised the efforts of the state government in fulfilling the dream, and thanked the governor for uplifting the education sector in the state

The simplification of banking services by technology has brought with it some hazards, including online frauds, OZIOMA UBABUKOH writes on the increasing rate of tampering with customers’ funds by bank employees

Cases of internal online fraud committed by bank employees have been on the rise lately, The PUNCH has learnt.

Our correspondent gathered that porous data system, coupled with dwindling remuneration in some of the banks, might have been encouraging bankers to tamper with customers’ funds.

Analysts are of the view that the quest to live fantasy lifestyles might have led some of the bankers to engage in such an illicit act.

An employee of a new generation bank said many of his former colleagues were sacked within the last two years due to discreet online manipulation of customers’ funds.

“Some had to resign when the lid on their deals was blown off,” the source, who pleaded not to be named, said.

“The most common cases are those that have to do with bankers tampering with the accounts of deceased customers and transferring the funds into their personal accounts within the same bank, or some other banks,” the source added.

The Central Bank of Nigeria had last month said there was a need to collaborate with various industry stakeholders to ensure that banks and other players in the financial services sector had maximum information security.

The CBN, through its Chief Information Security Officer, Taiwo Longe, had said that information security involved the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data, regardless of the form the data might take; whether electronic or print.

He said, “Financial institutions, hospitals, telecommunications corporations and private businesses, amass a great deal of confidential information about their customers, employees, products, research findings and financial status, among others.

“As such, there is a need for maximum security of this information that is collected, processed and stored on computers and transmitted across computer networks.

“When the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data is impacted, security is said to have been breached. There are various threats to information security. Some are very dangerous and disruptive; others are just a nuisance.”

Responding to the issue of online banking fraud, the Bankers’ Committee, through the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Access Bank Plc, Mr. Herbert Wigwe, said, “Online frauds in the banks are connected to biometrics. All frauds will end up in some accounts; so, if you have details of the person that post that account, that is the biometric details, no two individuals can have the same details, it will be easy to basically track or determine the culprit within the overall system.

“Remember that the industry is going to be sharing this platform. Therefore, once you know where that person is across the entire industry, we will all know that the person is a fraudster and he cannot change his name. The day you register, that is your name forever. If you come back with a thumbprint, and you try to change your name, the system will determine what you are about to do.”

“The second level is that the Bankers’ Committee is also looking at ways to determine what the appropriate levels of online transfers can be. The whole idea is to mitigate the issue of people transferring money and huge fraud. By reducing the amount, for instance, the incidence and the value of what that fraud can possibly be can be reduced.”

An industry analyst, Eseoghene Idolor, told our correspondent that poor internal control and checks by the banks usually created loopholes for their employees to commit fraud.

“Therefore, to reduce or eliminate fraud, there is a need to always have effective audit, security and surveillance systems during and after bank official operating hours,” he said.

The immediate past Chairman, Committee of e-Banking Heads, Mr. Chuks Iku, however, differed, saying, “It is very difficult to tamper with the accounts of customers in a bank because of the internal processes.”

According to him, closing an account or tampering with someone else’s money is not that easy, adding, “I do not agree that customers’ funds can be tampered with.

“If someone wants to commit fraud in the bank, it is difficult to stop, but such fraud will definitely be found out,” he added.

The Head, Brand and Media, eTranzact, Mr. Adeyemi Opene, encouraged customers to embrace mobile banking, “as there is minimal fraud in the process and it will help to avoid the bankers’ undue access to customers’ funds.”

“We didn’t pioneer online transactions, but we have really worked so hard to ensure that mobile transactions are seamless and secure,” he added.

Opene argued that for every transaction through mobile banking, there was a two-level authentication that made it very difficult for fraud to be perpetuated.

“We pioneered the Electronic Security Authentication; so, there is no way fraud can occur through the mobile money process, except when one reveals one’s card details,” he added.

“In Nigeria, especially in politics, you can’t say that this is an exclusive party for the people who are thieves or this is for good people.

donphilopus: GEJ Till Your Early Grave!

If we should ask these semi-literates who croon “GEJ Till 2019” to give us a tangible reason GEJ should continue as our President, they would not have any plausible response!

And you pose yourself as the 'literate' one
Your case is irredeemable.
