People need to read animal farm and understand human beings. All this 'I am on Dangote's side', 'I am on NNPC's side', 'I am on IPMAN's side'.. Those notions are laughable. Nigerians are being played. Those people have no loyalty or emotion for you. Investors and shareholders must be paid.

She is not ugly!

Kperogi demonstrating why the pen is mightier than the sword.

A friend was thinking of getting this. I wonder what their thoughts are now.

Objectivist04:
Useless broadcast, used to announce the confernment of national honours to those who can challenge him constitutionally. Tinubu is no doubt the worst president ever in this country.
You told us that Buhari is on the right track and that you will continue from where he stops but today you are telling us that you took over a government that is nosediving in areas of economy and security and have to make a decision either to continue in the downward way or make a you turn for economic prosperity. Double standing of an average Yoruba man , being neither here nor there.

Your last sentence renders your entire post to be tribalistic and hence useless.

What are the criteria for these awards?

No wonder Nigeria is where it is now.

Freetech:
Nigerian youth remain gullible. Can't you understand, government won't subsidized your foreign lifestyle again with borrowed fund.

Exchange rate is a function of your productions and consumption

As long as you consume more than you produce, your national will receive the heat.

What happened in Nigeria and other Africa countries is to continue borrowing to finance the lavish life of the few, who is living America life in their country

If you want better exchange rate drop your taste for foregn goods and start producing, be satisfy with what you and keep on improving until you have what you want

We refuse to learn, im expecting 5k to a $, maybe then we will learn to look inward

Me thinks you need to sit down and understand that the problem is not from the youth. Compare the purchases by this government for the Presidency, Vice Presidents, Senators, and Reps. What was the amount? Note they were done in dollars.

Also look at how Naira rate falls post FAAC disbursement to states. Keep on pointing fingers at the wrong people. Your government at all levels is killing the Naira not the common man who is struggling to find ways to survive the current economic situation.

ObosiLandlord:
It's just a little fall. Nigeria dollar bond was oversubscribed few weeks ago

That was the domestic dollar bond which was for Nigerians to buy.

gonkin:
It was actually 47, water is almost 3 times more expensive than fuel over there.

If Nigeria bought from there, i dont think it would be up to 960

In the short term, I think we should be buying from them. If they can get it at those rates. We could fund our exports at the international price while finding a way to procure it cheaper from Libya. Of course we would need to confirm that there are no issues with their products.

Long term, we should producing our stuff locally and driving down cost. If we are worried about smuggling across borders, then we should strengthen our borders or make an official agreement to sell to them at higher price.

CBN should confirm that it is 0.005% and not 0.5% which is equivalent to a factor of 0.005.

2 things I am telling my kids about income.

1. Get a job and start working towards financial independence

2. Do not marry someone who isn't gainfully employed or seeking gainful employment either by their hands or someone else's business.

How is 1670 close to 2000? Who is the person trying to cause hypertension? One would think it had reached 1900 based on the headline!!

In that case I am proud to say that I am a MASSIVE red flag.

brain54:
Why don't the mods ban this guy...?

Rather push his threads to fp.

Even when they are mostly provocative, incite full, promote hatred and try to cause a rivalry or e-war!

Always degrading and insulting... looking to cause trouble!

In fairness to the mods, they can't be everywhere. I do know that the report button works. Report the post, they will check and deal with the situation. I know this because I have used the report button in the past.

anonimi:
Is this not what the thread is about- how did she leave South Africa when she is under investigation for criminal identity theft

That is why the source of this article is important. Is she really under investigation? Does the type of investigation limit her from traveling? Has she being charged? Is she out on bail? Those are questions an open mind asks.

anonimi:
The mother also did not come to our country to be with her daughter in the crowning ceremony

What is my business with the mother? Is she a criminal? If yes how did she leave South Africa?

anonimi:
Flying criminals?
Why do we rejoice in being criminals and cry xenophobia when we are not wanted in law abiding societies

Who are the we here? The mother is NOT Nigerian!!

I hope those insulting Nigerians on this thread realise that the mother is NOT Nigerian!! She is Zimbabwean.

Also what is the source for this article? Shouldn't it be posted as well? For all we know it could be South Africa's version of the Sun that wrote this.

gidgiddy:
Look at the chart rank and tell us what rank Jonathan and Buhari were wearing, no need to for long talk

Go and ask them if they are field marshalls. Wearing that rank was a bad joke and makes a mockery of Nigeria's military.

gidgiddy:
Oh really? What rank do you think Buhari and Jonathan were wearing below?

Commander in chief of the armed forces is not field marshall. Nigeria would turn into a laughing stock if every president is a field marshall. If those guys were given that title, then it is a bad joke.

I don't think you understand the prestige of the title.

Paraman:
As the commander in chief of the armed forces, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the 5 star general

No he isn't.

gidgiddy:
It's not possible, for only a civilian Nigerian Presidents can hold the rank as Commander in Chief

Civilian president can't be field marshall. Even in the history of the world, it is very rare for people to be awarded the rank.

I hope the man didn't die in Lagos ...

Lithiumite:
Why the emphasis "Nigerian"? Are Nigerians the only ones involved in cyber fraud? This is all shades of wrong and the authorities need to deal with this accordingly.....this is gross misrepresentation and stereotyping a people,the most populous black people!!

Who ever wrote this story should be dealt with.

This particular crime, yes. To our shame as a nation, we are now the origin of one of the most evil mafias in the world.

I just observed that one is blocked from using the term B L A C K A X E on Nairaland. That prevented the post from being replicated properly. Kindly check the link on BBC!

Police units around the world have joined forces in a series of covert operations targeting one of West Africa’s most feared criminal networks - .
Operation Jackal III saw officers in body armour carry out raids in 21 countries between April and July 2024.
The mission, co-ordinated by global policing agency Interpol, led to the arrest of 300 people with links to and other affiliated groups.
Interpol called the operation a “major blow” to the Nigerian crime network, but warned that its international reach and technological sophistication mean it remains a global threat.
In one notorious example, Canadian authorities said they had busted a money-laundering scheme linked to worth more than $5bn (£3.8bn) in 2017.
“They are very organised and very structured,” Tomonobu Kaya, a senior official at Interpol’s Financial Crime and Anti-Corruption Centre, told the BBC.
According to a 2022 report by Interpol, “ and similar groups are responsible for the majority of the world’s cyber-enabled financial fraud as well as many other serious crimes”.
Mr Kaya said innovations in money-transfer software and cryptocurrency have played into the hands of group, which are renowned for multi-million dollar online scams.
“These criminal syndicates are early adopters of new technologies… A lot of fintech developments make it really easy to illegally move money around the world,” he said.
The operations to tackle the gang included arrests made in Switzerland

The ultra-violent cult that became a global mafia
Operation Jackal III was years in the making and led to the seizure of $3m of illegal assets and more than 700 bank accounts being frozen.
Many members are university educated and are recruited during their schooling.
The organisation is a secretive criminal network with trafficking, prostitution and killing operations around the world.
Cyber-crime, targeting individuals and businesses, is the organisation's largest source of revenue.
Multiple so-called “Jackal” police operations have taken place since 2022.
Dozens of and other gang members have been arrested and their electronic devices seized during these transnational raids. This work has enabled Interpol to create a vast intelligence database, which is now shared with officers throughout its 196 member countries.
“We need to have data and to collate our findings from these countries to help build a picture of their modus operandi,” said Mr Kaya.
Despite multiple international arrests, some experts feel not enough is being done to address the root of these crime syndicates in West Africa.
“The emphasis must actually be on prevention not on outright operations against these criminal groups,” said Dr Oluwole Ojewale, West Africa Regional Co-ordinator from the Institute for Security Studies.
Nigeria, which has witnessed widespread anti-corruption protests in recent weeks, is one of Africa’s largest economies, but has as many as 87 million people living below the poverty line, according to the World Bank. It is also the main recruitment ground for .
Interpol said it was carrying out training exercises with key Nigerian stakeholders and police officials. But corruption, and allegations of collusion between and local authorities, remain major obstacles.
“It is the politicians who are actually arming these boys,” said Dr Ojewale. “The general failure of governance in the country has made pressures for people to be initiated [into ].”
Despite its current global reach, Interpol’s Jackal Operations have their origins in Ireland.
Following a series of police raids by the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB) in 2020, a handful of members were arrested, paving the way for the exposure of a far wider network.
“They were very under the radar, very low-key,” said Michael Cryan, detective superintendent at the GNECB, which led the operation.
“The amount of money being laundered through Ireland was astronomical,” he added.
The police subsequently identified 1,000 people with links to in Ireland and have made hundreds of arrests for fraud and cyber-crime.
“Bank robberies are now done with laptops - they’re far more sophisticated,” said Det Supt Cryan.
He estimates €200m ($220m; £170m) have been stolen online in Ireland in the past five years, and that only accounts for the 20% of cyber-crimes that are believed to be reported.
“This is not typical or ordinary crime… People who make decisions need to know how serious this is,” he said.
Irish police operations in November 2023 revealed that cryptocurrency - which can be sent rapidly between digital wallets around the world - is becoming an integral element in ’s money-laundering operations.
More than €1m in crypto-assets were seized during one operation.
Interpol has deployed its own new technology in an attempt to tackle these innovations, launching the Global Rapid Intervention of Payments system (I-GRIP).
The mechanism, which enables the authorities in member countries to freeze bank accounts around the world with unprecedented speed, was used to halt a $40m scam targeting a Singaporean business last month.
Interpol's Mr Kaya said technology like this would make it harder for criminals to move money across borders with impunity.
A major effort is under way to gather and share intelligence on and other West African syndicates by police around the world.
“If we can gather this data we can take action,” he said.

For her to lie about this ... It is a red flag.

frankson1:
How many goals did obi score in all his career
How many balls did he hit into the net

What special part did he play other than coming into the game 5 minutes before full-time and jumping around with the trophy that other players suffered for

Obi should talk down on any white players and see if he'd keep being a third party pundit.

I am not a Chelsea fan but the above is ridiculous. Mikel did nothing but cameos? Are you a JJC?

God1blessBiafra:
The zoo is down.


God willing it will soon disappear from world map.

May GOD reject such a curse. Nigeria shall survive. It shall outlast traitors like you, and bad leadership.

tolujohnso:
Sincerely we ain't ready for a true change in this country. What I see is hatred & antagonism to other tribes in power; rather than objective and constructive criticism that can lead to national development. Imagine critics who have never seen anything good d president has done since ascension. shall we continue like this and hope for a better Nigeria? It's well

Name actual sustained good that the President has done.

FightingFalcon:
And where was Peter obi when gun men killed 4 police men some weeks ago in the east or are the lives of those police men not important or obi just choose to ignore the atrocities commited by his own people

Disgraceful post. Are the people killed not your people as well? Were they not Nigerians?
