 Crime › Re: "I Started Planning Abuja Bank Robbery In October" – Banker by ejimatic: 7:08pm On Jan 03, 2020 |
Gratefulll:
Adelani Adepegba, Abuja
A customer care officer of a first generation bank, which was attacked by armed robbers last Saturday, Larry Ehizo, has stated that he began planning how to carry out the operation in October 2019.
Ehizo, who recanted his earlier claim that a barman, Ernest Ewim, blackmailed him into carrying out the attempted heist, said he started nursing the idea having monitored the security system and the processes in the bank.
The customer care officer said, “Everything Ewim said is true; he didn’t threaten me. I willingly collected his number and I called him and he said I should give him a few days.
“When I called him, I simply told him how they would go in, where they would see the riot policeman guarding the bank and how to disconnect the CCTV. On Friday night during our meeting, we had issues with getting a driver.”
When asked the motive for the crime, Ehizo simply stated, “I was just greedy; I thought it was something simple that I could just pull off. I had taken time to study everything; I started thinking about it since October.
“Maybe, because I work inside, I felt I could take the money. So, I gradually mapped out where the CCTV is, where the police officer stays, his movement, how people are stationed over the weekend and how the ATM functions over the weekend. I took time to map it out for over a month.”
The Federal Capital Territory Police Command had arrested the sixth member of the gang, Ewim, at his hideout on Wednesday.
Wearing dreadlocks and dressed in a light blue denim jacket and matching blue jeans, the suspect sustained injuries in his legs.
Blood oozed out of his right ear as he spoke to PUNCH Metro in Abuja on Thursday.
The police had earlier gunned down a member of the gang, identified as Patrick, and arrested four others during the failed operation.
The FCT Commissioner of Police, Bala Ciroma, had on Tuesday paraded four gang members including Ehizo, 30, as well as Timothy Joe, 21; Princewill Obinna, 24; and Elijah David, 19.
Ewim, who doubles as a barman and disc jockey at the Ever Ready Hotel, Mpape, explained that he organised the gang that carried out the foiled heist at Ehizo’s request.
Narrating how he became involved in the attempted robbery, the 29-year-old said he met Ehizo at the customer care desk of the bank when he was having issues with his account.
He explained that after addressing his complaints, the bank official took his phone number and called him two days later, promising to give him a job.
Ewim stated, “After two days, I received a call from Ehizo, who identified himself and said he had a job for me. Two days later, he called back and said he would like to see me.
“He said he wanted to attack the bank branches in Mpape and Mararaba. I said I was not a robber. He asked if I could provide boys for him, so I told Obinna, a photographer, about it because I learnt that he was very stubborn and could fight.”

'FIFA VAR' Introduced in Village Football Competition in Imo State (Photos)
A video assistant referee(VAR) was introduced in a village football competition in Imo State.
In the pictures shared to Igbere TV, the referee can be seen watching a television stationed close to the field.
Igbere TV learnt that the television used as FIFA VAR was just to spice up the game and entertain fans.
The video assistant referee is a match official in association football who reviews decisions made by the head referee. Following extensive trialling in a number of major competitions, VAR was first written into the Laws of the Game by the International Football Association Board in 2018.

FLASHBACK:
THE SPEECH DELIVERED BY BRIGADIER JOSHUA NIMYEL DOGONYARO AFTER BUHARI'S DETHRONEMENT ON AUGUST 27, 1985
I, Brigadier Joshua Nimyel Dogonyaro, of the Nigerian Army, hereby make the following declaration on behalf of my colleagues and members of the Nigerian Armed Forces.
Fellow country men, the intervention of the military at the end of 1983 was welcomed by the nation with unprecedented enthusiasm. Nigerians were unified in accepting the intervention and looked forward hopefully to progressive changes for the better. Almost two years later, it has become clear that the fulfillment of expectations is not forthcoming.
Because this generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations have no other country but Nigeria, we could not stay passive and watch a small group of individuals misuse power to the detriment of our national aspirations and interest.
No nation can ever achieve meaningful strides in its development where there is an absence of cohesion in the hierarchy of government; where it has become clear that positive action by the policy makers is hindered because as a body it lacks a unity of purpose.
It is evident that the nation would be endangered with the risk of continuous misdirection. We are presently confronted with that danger. In such a situation, if action can be taken to arrest further damage, it should and must be taken. This is precisely what we have done.
The Nigerian public has been made to believe that the slow pace of action of the Federal Government headed by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari was due to the enormity of the problems left by the last civilian administration.
Although it is true that a lot of problems were left behind by the last civilian government, the real reason, however, for the very slow pace of action is due to lack of unanimity of purpose among the ruling body; subsequently, the business of governance has gradually been subjected to ill-motivated power play considerations. The ruling body, the Supreme Military Council, has, therefore, progressively been made redundant by the actions of a select few members charged with the day-to-day implementation of the SMC’s policies and decision.
The concept of collective leadership has been substituted by stubborn and ill advised unilateral actions, thereby destroying the principles upon which the government came to power. Any effort made to advise the leadership, met with stubborn resistance and was viewed as a challenge to authority or disloyalty.
Thus, the scene was being set for systematic elimination of what, was termed oppositions. All the energies of the rulership were directed at this imaginary opposition rather than to effective leadership.
The result of this misdirected effort is now very evident in the country as a whole. The government has started to drift. The economy does not seem to be getting any better as we witness daily increased inflation.
The nation’s meager resources are once again being wasted on unproductive ventures. Government has distanced itself from the people and the yearnings and aspirations of the people as constantly reflected in the media have been ignored.
This is because a few people have arrogated to themselves the right to make the decisions for the larger part of the ruling body. All these events have shown that the present composition of our country’s leadership cannot, therefore, justify its continued occupation of that position.
Furthermore, the initial objectives and programmes of action which were meant to have been implemented since the ascension to power of the Buhari Administration in January 1984 have been betrayed and discarded. The present state of uncertainty and stagnation cannot be permitted to degenerate into suppression and retrogression.
We feel duty bound to use the resources and means at our disposal to restore hope in the minds of Nigerians and renew aspirations for a better future. We are no prophets of doom for our beloved country, Nigeria. We, therefore, count on everyone’s cooperation and assistance.
I appeal to you, fellow countrymen, particularly my colleagues in arms to refrain from any act that will lead to unnecessary violence and bloodshed among us. Rest assured that our action is in the interest of the nation and the armed forces.
In order to enable a new order to be introduced, the following bodies are dissolved forthwith pending further announcements: (a) The Supreme Military Council (b) The Federal Executive Council (c) The National Council of States. All seaports and airports are closed, all borders remain closed.
Finally, a dusk to dawn curfew is hereby imposed in Lagos and all state capitals until further notice. All military commanders will ensure effective maintenance of law and order. Further announcements will be made in due course. God bless Nigeria.

From 1999 to 2015 politicians milked our economy completely.... The country became a wasteland economically with corruption galore.... Regrettably the present government were made to believe by the kitchen cabinet or cabal that border closure would guarantee food security and make us a developed nation....That is nothing but a fantasy and illusion. |

jesusjnr:
IS IT A SIN FOR MARRIED COUPLES TO USE CONDOMS?
This post is an offshoot of a recent thread titled, "Are we truly safe when we commit sin with condoms?"
https://www.nairaland.com/5582353/truly-safe-when-commit-sin
That thread was primarily intended to use the Truth of Jesus Words to disprove the idea being sold by the world in the name of "safe sex", that someone who commits a sexual sin, let's say, adultery, using a condom could yet be truly safe.
But then a someone with the moniker @Prettyjanet1 pops up with this interesting question:
So that's obviously where I got the thread title from, and this was my answer to the question:
So married couples using condoms was not considered a sin to me then, and that corroborated my position on the Op of that thread that I wasn't against the use of condoms because I didn't believe that it was a bad thing.
But then came someone else with the moniker @Godsonjolly with the following question:
This was my response:
Then he said:
But his comment seemed to make some sense to me, hence my response:
Therefore his comment agreed with my inclination on the use of condoms amongst married couples, because I believe that God should have the last say on the amount of kids a couple should have, even though at the time I didn't consider it to be a sin if they did so.
However the difference in this case was that I somehow just found it hard to include the part that "it was not a sin to me" in the final post of my conversation with him, as I did in my response to the first question, even though I had initially typed it. So I just had to chop that part off before posting, because at that point, it just felt quite uncomfortable to include it, as it just didn't seem right.
So it seemed my initial position about married couples using condoms during sex not being a sin had began to experience a bit of a wobble.
And to add to that uncertainty, there was a development I had noticed after making that thread, and it was the word "condom" suddenly beginning to feature in my tongues. But I felt very uncomfortable with that for obvious reasons, even though I had just done a thread that had something to do with that, as I had expected to move on from that since I had accomplished what I intended with that thread. So the last thing I was expecting was for it to start showing up in my tongues.
But it was later when I began to say "condom na sirin" repeatedly in tongues, that the picture began to become clearer of what the message appeared to be, as it sounded like "condom na sin" in pidgin English.
I began to have the feeling that perhaps the Holy Spirit wasn't pleased with the impression I had given about the use of condoms on the Op of that thread, where I said that I wasn't against the use of condoms and didn't believe that it was a bad thing, so that i would correct it.
But it was when I came back to the thread and saw where I had categorically responded to @Prettyjanet1's question, and said that use of condoms by married couples wasn't a sin, and had followed my responses up til the final response I gave on that same matter, where I was no longer comfortable to say it was a sin as i had done initially, that it became much clearer to me what actually happened then, and what that had to do with my spoken tongues about condoms.
So I believe the message of the Spirit of God is that it is a sin in God's sight for marriage couples to use condoms, just as that brother @Godsonjolly had insinuated, to correct my initial response that it wasn't a sin.
And though I don't think it's a sin that could lead married couples to hell, I believe that God is not happy when married couples use condoms during sex, as it usurps Him of His right as the One who determines giving kids or not in a marriage.
This may have been one of the things that displeased God concerning Onan that made Him slay him as was suggested by @Godsonjolly, for in the Bible days there were no condoms, so child bearing among married couples was solely God's prerogative, therefore Onan may have also dishonored God by what he did.
This is not intended to frighten or judge married couples, however I believe that especially for christians, it's best to follow the examples given in the Bible where childbearing in marriage was usually attributed to God, and the amount of children was determined by Him, so that condoms would not take God's place in determining how many kids they have.
That would obviously require married couples completely trusting God concerning childbearing, but i believe the marriages of those do so surely shall surely reap the rewards of them placing such extent of trust in God, because God alone best knows how many children a married couple should have.
God bless. No it is not a sin |

lawmakers position already secured till 2023. obaseki is pro buhari while osho is for tinubu. buhari allowed Ambode removal because he needs tinubu support but now election is done . Do you think Obaseki can win without full APC support in federal and Edo? I don't think so...When it is time Buhari will have no contribution in it |

Ambode is a coward who refused to fight and was blackmailed with impeachment. obaseki is a man who fought and now have the lawmakers to himself. . But it was APC that put the lawmakers there.The loyalists need APC to come back.By 2020 Obaseki and his supporters will know what HOT WATER means.Many of them will not come back with their governor.In case of Ambode he could not do anything to the party that made him governor. Even house members who were in his support followed Tinubu so as to secure their second term.....All I know is : Obasekis days are numbered ....My opinion |

Try an online program like programs of University of the People, and you will know that online programs can be even more rigorous than classroom based programs. With two registered courses, you have to turn in at least 2 plaigiarism- free papers every week, and you also need to provide at least 4 sentences of feedback to at least 3 coursemates.
In classroom based programs, you have lecturers to at least break down some topics, but in online, you are the one who would read textbooks and break them down yourself. . As described in your comment it could be tedious. Additionally an online programme will assist those working to further their education and be a source of revenue generation for schools running it. |

Education has gone beyond sitting in the classroom and lecturer will be reading textbook/handout for u. lets be sincere all these lecturers sef do they really teach u or u struggle to get things done ursef . You are right considering the present condition of education in Nigeria.Any lecturer who comes to the class room and starts reading textbook is a misfit in the academics.Many lecturers are not even motivated for their profession let alone poor condition of service in some institutions.The need to generate money for schools and provide further education for those already working gives rise to online learning in Nigeria. |

It was with an euphoric mood the first set of Online distance learning of obafemi Awolowo University, Ile ife, Osun state ended their programme after five years of rigorous learning.
The Nursing department of the college of health sciences has two modes of study, the regular full time and part time distance learning mode, before now the part time mode was done on weekends but was replaced by the online blended mode in 2014 with the mission to make many already registered nurses have their degrees and the admission of first set was done in the same year, which saw about 300 registered nurses enroll after passing through series of written and oral examination.
Do not forget that the distance learning mode is for nurses who already graduated from schools of nursing.
In the course of the programme, many were advised to withdraw , many repeated, and some left for other schools, this makes the graduating number to be just above 190.
The visibly elated graduating students made the last week of the 10th semester memorable for themselves by wearing different attires for the different days of the examination with photographic evidence.
On Monday which was for one of the courses, Advanced Community health nursing, they wore adire which they used during their community experience posting, Tuesday, they put on clinical posting uniform with OAU badge, Wednesday, NUNSA week shirts and capped it signout shirts on Thursday with the Lagos based students spiced their shirt with Ankara jackets. The school anthem was rendered shortly before the start of the final paper and a lovely dinner was organized in the evening to wrap up the event with some of the lecturers in attendance.
Waoh! It was really a memorable experience for the VENCEDORES 2019 set....
Congratulations to everyone . online programme! rigorous learning? for where?There is no substitute for campus based programme |
