What I contributed in 2015 to the success of these two reformists/rescuers will be NOTHING compared to what I will contribute in 2019.

To prevent Atiku and his likes from our cookie jar is a task that must be accomplished.

Nigeria is on a long thing

geometricaxis:
He who goes about campaigning to be president never becomes the president in this country. If you want to become president in this country you wait for your rivals to knock themselves out and you wait for the power brokers to select you as a consensus candidate...that's (fortunately or unfortunately) how it works.

Shagari...selected

OBJ..selected

Yaradua..selected
GEJ...selected (kicked out when he thought he was now a power broker)
Buhari..selected (tried many times on hiw own and failed in the end he was selected)

You understand politics most nairalanders dont

That's the truth.
Well

I am interested in how he is going to move Nigeria forward not all these waka about

To me he has nothing to offer.

Let him tell us what he will do differentially

So
Westin go happen now?

Bloggers will soon report it as "bobrisky nominated as man of the year

FortifiedCity:
Yes, probe him, recover the money and share the loot

Good move

When you know the truth and you will be set free

That's a happy ending

freedom is sweet

South Korean authorities have reportedly raided Apple’s offices in Seoul, South Korea, just ahead of the iPhone X launch in the country.

The iPhone X goes on sale in South Korea and a dozen more countries tomorrow …

London’s Metro reports that the timing of the raid is likely to lead to suspicions in a country noted for strong – and sometimes corrupt – relationships between the government and major Korean corporations.

Metro.co.uk has learned that investigators visited Apple’s HQ earlier this week to ask questions about its business practices ahead of the launch of the smartphone tomorrow.

The raid is likely to raise questions about whether South Korean authorities are trying to hamper the success of the X, which has sold out across the world. Apple products are wildly popular in South Korea, which is home to several giant tech firms including Samsung and LG.

Last December, South Korea’s then-president Park Geun-hye was impeached on charges of accepting bribes. As part of the same investigation, Samung’s de-facto head Lee Jae-yong was in August convicted on corruption charges and sentenced to five years imprisonment. He was found guilty of bribery, embezzlement & perjury.

The Korea Fair Trade Commission has frequently been accused of abusing its powers to protect local companies against competition from Apple and others.



In 2015, the year when Apple grabbed a historic 33% share of the South Korean smartphone market, the FTC launched a task force dedicated to exploring whether foreign firms were hurting the domestic smartphone market.

Roger Kay, president of the tech analysis firm Endpoint Technologies Associates, previously accused South Korea of having a ‘protectionist agenda’. In an article for Forbes, he wrote: ‘The Korea Fair Trade Commission has pretty much run amok in recent years, slapping spurious charges on foreign companies.’

The raid is said to be part of a long-running investigation into Apple’s contracts with carriers in the country.

With technology anything is possible

Elon Musk kept his promise: The SolarCity chairman successfully built the world’s biggest lithium ion battery in South Australia–ahead of schedule.

In July, Tesla and French renewable energy company Neoen were awarded the contract to help the country deal with its energy problems following a 2016 statewide blackout. The Tesla founder was so enthusiastic about the effort that he even tweeted this summer, “100 days from contract signature or it’s free.”

According to a local state government website, the 100-megawatt Tesla Powerpacks set has now been fully installed and will be energized in the next few days as it enters a phase of regulatory testing. Tesla said it will be able to power more than 30,000 homes, approximately equal to the number of homes that lost power during the blackout period.

The Verge reported that the battery is estimated to have cost $50 million.

“The world’s largest lithium ion battery will be an important part of our energy mix, and it sends the clearest message that South Australia will be a leader renewable energy with battery storage,” said South Australia Premier Jay Weatherill in a statement. He also acknowledged that “an enormous amount of work has gone in to delivering this project in such a short time.

Newly released footage of a North Korean defector’s daring escape last week shows North Korean guards violating an armistice agreement by firing across the military demarcation line, the United Nations Command said Wednesday.

In a video released by the UNC, the North Korean defector is shown fleeing in a hail of bullets as several North Korean guards rush towards him at the demarcation line with South Korea. The guards can be seen firing across the border as he crosses, and one guard appeared to briefly cross the demarcation line before returning.

The UNC told reporters Wednesday that it was seeking a meeting with North Korean officials over the incident. The video’s release comes after the U.S. on Tuesday slapped new sanctions on Pyongyang following President Trump’s announcement that he would designate the country a state sponsor of terror.

The defector, who is currently receiving medical treatment in South Korea, is thought to be an army staff sergeant, according to Reuters. Upon his arrival, surgeons said they discovered “an enormous number” of parasitic worms in his intestines.

The startup did not disclose the attack until Tuesday, adding a potential cover up to a list of recent corporate controversies.

Uber said that two people outside the company accessed the personal information of 57 million Uber users in late 2016, including names, email addresses and phone numbers. The license numbers of around 600,000 drivers in the United States were included in the breach.

The company did not alert victims or regulators of the breach when it was first discovered.

Britain's data protection watchdog said the news raised "huge concerns" about Uber's data policies and ethics.

"If U.K. citizens were affected then we should have been notified so that we could assess and verify the impact on people whose data was exposed," said James Dipple-Johnstone of the U.K. Information Commissioner's Office.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in a statement he recently learned of the breach.

Khosrowshahi, who became CEO in August, said he launched an investigation into why the company did not alert authorities or affected individuals. He said, "two of the individuals who led the response to this incident are no longer with the company." Khosrowshahi said the company is now notifying regulatory authorities.

Bloomberg reported that Joe Sullivan, Uber's chief security officer, is no longer with the company. Uber would not confirm to CNNMoney which individuals had left the company.

"At the time of the incident, we took immediate steps to secure the data and shut down further unauthorized access by the individuals," Khosrowshahi said in the statement.

"We subsequently identified the individuals and obtained assurances that the downloaded data had been destroyed. We also implemented security measures to restrict access to and strengthen controls on our cloud-based storage accounts," he said.

Uber did not say how hackers assured the company the stolen data was destroyed, but it did confirm that $100,000 was paid to the hackers.

According to the company, no location history, credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, or dates of birth were downloaded in the hack. Uber said it is providing free credit monitoring to drivers who had their license numbers exposed.

It's the latest blow to Uber, which is trying to improve its public image. The company has been embroiled in a number of controversies, including using software called Greyball to evade regulators, a court battle over allegedly stolen secrets from Google's self-driving car division, and a slew of complaints regarding sexual harassment and toxic company culture.

This week, the company was fined almost $9 million for background check issues in Colorado.

In his statement, Khosrowshahi said things will be different moving forward. "While I can't erase the past, I can commit on behalf of every Uber employee that we will learn from our mistakes," he wrote.
