Bro bro, no dey yarn half truth... I no know you oo, but make I advise you. You see Redmi phone is widely accepted in China and the phone coy among top five. Redmi no be small phone. To them price means a lot to them and it is affecting the way people, especially rich guys perceive the brand. I got to know about Redmi in China,that was around 2018, every chinko teenager dey use the phone. It was a competition between Oppo and Redmi back then with craziest camera pixel. Nobody dey use iPhone snap back then when Redmi dey hand. After I purchased my own on the trip, my China tour guide helped with the best camera settings, I didn't have to touch the camera settings for another 2years. Everyone around me bought a Redmi just seeing the sophisticated camera on my phone. E no end there ooo... IPhone reinvented its brand with the introduction of X and that changed the game for them, you know why, the design mad. The XR and 11,12,13 further strength the grip as the best all because the look and feel is great. I agree iphon no get competition for now. KnowledgePower7: 1 Like 1 Share |

Hello Sir, Telegram messages are not encrypted on group chat as of today. That is one major disadvantage using Telegram for serious business. A lot of yahoo boys already know this from inception and that is the reason Telegram is heaven to them. Group messages on Telegram are usually transmitted as plain text over the network and can be read without stress. Whatsap group messages are encrypted just like we had BBM in those days. Whatsap messages in the days of BBM were not encrypted. WhatsApp had to meet that criteria before they were able to match up and eventually relegated BBM. I hope this is useful to someone out there.

When you work with a good and loving boss, you could just forget about your life's goal and begin to chase Oga's priorities and ambitions for as long as the Oga remains with you in the organisation. That's how to know you are working for a good person. His goals becomes your goals. His family becomes your family and your family issues becomes his issues.

This has nothing to do with the bank. Mind you the bank would have investigated and confirmed the customer was careless at some point. This is a simple case of shoulder surfing. It is system where a fraudster stands besides their victims to collect useful information over the shoulder by looking. In this case the fraudsters are usually numbering about 4 (one at the right, left behind and sometimes in front) moving in cluster around a targeted victim. All they (fraudsters) are after is to pick card details of a targeted customer (victim). Especially customers that is fond of brandishing his/her ATM card or carelessly exposing the card numbers embossed on cards while on ATM queue or in public. These fraudsters usually would go as far as to disable other ATMs by stuffing papers inside card area of the ATM. Forcing everyone to resort to one functional ATM in use. In so doing, a long queue would ensue unknown to the bank operatives or security. One last step for the fraudster to succeed in scamming their victims is to station one of them (fellow fraudsters) at the disabled ATM to peep through again from that position to the closest ATM position, the only ATM working or paying. At that point the fraudsters are after the their victims PIN. Once PIN is picked by looking through targeted victim shoulder they wait for 5mins or so before carrying out transactions (Debits) on victim's account. Why do they wait? they wait for that short period to make it look like customer account starts getting debit after card was used on the ATM. The scammed customer can only remember last using the ATM before several debits, thereby, diverting attention to the bank as the culprit. This system can also take place in supermarkets and local shops or POS operator point (fear those people). Some of them are agents to local yahoo yahoo boys. Now, how can transaction to through without code sent to registered phone number or email of their victim? Is it possible for the fraudster to have these information (code sent to Registered phone number or Email)? No There are some websites that lack payment security. Those websites would just go ahead to take debit if card details and PIN is correct withouta my second level authentication (codes sent to Registered phone number or email address of the account holder) by the card user. The Fraudsters choose certain betting sites with weaker payment security to carry out their nefarious activities using Registered fictitious names and IDs. I learnt most banks in Nigeria have instituted a case with CBN to close down these payment gateways on websites reported. Also the operators of the websites are mostly yahoo yahoo boys who employed russians and Arabs to set up such websites. They also get licenses from government agency to host payment gateway on their websites without consulting the banks. How can you avoid such scam? Keep your ATM card in your pocket or bag while on the queue until you are Infront on the ATM to use. After ATM card insertion, please cover your PIN while pressing.

I was eight years old when I first saw this man called Kunle Poly in he height of gangsterism. He gained notoriety operating and coordinating deadly gangs along Lagos Island, Otto, Apapa Rd and Ebute Metta East areas of Lagos state. He was then pride to the aimless youths along the gettos mentioned. Yes, I had 23 years of my life in Nigeria around these areas mentioned, but as ajebo that rolled with the street back then. No single police crime investigating department since the advent of democracy hasn't pin point one or two major crimes on Kunle Poly, yet he evaded all prosecution because, the ones covering for him happens are the ones in powers (majorly present and past Senators and Rep members of his constituency). He piped low at a point that we taught he was gone as most of his peers were successfully rounded up by the state department at the time. He reappeared during Fashola second term and became PA to a senior government official in Lagos state. Nothing would happen to Kunle Poly. The ones he had served and still serving would always have his back and get him out of tight situationa. This is Lagos, home to senior touts... 19 Likes |

My dear OP, I have followed your write ups all through with much calmness. I noticed two things about your reactions. 1: you want people to see things the as you see them. 2: You react to negative comments in a way that shows you don't welcome criticism. You are definitely not the only one in this kind of dilemma right now. I currently have a Bossom friend (lady) in your shoes as I type this. I will advise you on three things and I believe it would reveal the true intentions of your BF as the days rolls by 1: if you have started having sex or have the intent of sexual encounters, please put a pause/ stop to it. What this does it to help you have mental and physiological balance and control over the situationship. With what I have you seem to have strong affinity for him. This may be romance or some kind of likeness that would end up in bed. With this, having strong affinity for someone of the opposite sex makes you a prey and whatever comes out of it, blame yourself for the unnecessary weakness. 2: Ask less questions during convo. I have come to realise that men millennials don't forget their last answer to a kind certain questions. They know when a lady wants to be smart and witty and that gives them an edge. You would be wandering why I said ask less questions! The reason is to give allowance Inorder for him to ask more questions. Smart guys wants to know what makes a lady a true lady for them. They know by the responses when they ask smart questions. Work on your responses and do not be quiet and timid during serious convo. I want to believe he is careful about marriage especially when it is put to him as a topic of discussion by a lady he is still studying... There are guys like that. They don't talk about it when it is not coming from them. 3: Never ever turn down any date with him, I mean with this guy in your write up. I smile as I type this... This is a golden rule especially with principled men, they come with surprises on dates. Watch out and tread carefully. Lastly as bonus. Open your doors to other guys as long as the man has not put a ring on it. Don't get me wrong oo.. I don't mean you should have multiple sex partners oo. Make yourself available to others potential suitors as I enumerate below. You are already placed in a position of visibility, where those who earn above you would most likely be the one to come for you. This is because, they feel it would be less effort to have control over you in relationship and marriage. My dear that is how life is somehow fashioned in our clime. Your mum would be able to explain better. More importantly, at 26, you should live your life to the fullest. Travel alone and travel wide (foreign). Club alone, I mean not with friends. Visit the mall alone and showcase your beauty (not on social media). Try this for 6 months and see your suitors double. The trick here is that.... ngoziwrites: 1 Like |

What has CBN said that is out of place aside mentioning the date of commencement of operation? The country got to this level because individuals (top level) who are supposed to project into the future never bothered to do that, thus the country plunged more and more into obscurity during their time. It is wise to acknowledge the input of individuals who deliberately contribute to the development of the economy. Dangote has proven to be a patriotic Naija man. Do you know most of the refineries abroad belonged to some ex military Generals and con Nigerians, reason why they cared less of the refineries at home? I pray that God continues to sustain Dangote on this. I saw one his interviews where he said "I decided to venture into manufacturing after years trading (buying and selling to rake profit)." Recall before Dangote there were Eleganza, Doyin group and others that failed. Some went on to float commercial banks and still failed. We shall discuss this area later. Something is definitely working for Dangote and I pray he lives long to benefit and enjoy the fruits of his earthly labor. 1 Like 1 Share |

Friends and Alliances in High Places [size=14pt][/size] I mentioned earlier, that the date of Yakubu Katsina’s initial attempt to establish terror cells and Taliban training camps in Kano and Katsina was important. Here is why. Remember Abubakar Gumi’s stated position that Muslims should never accept a non-Muslim as ruler? It just so happens that the concerted push for Sharia Law across 12 of Northern Nigeria’s states lines up perfectly with the election of Olusegun Obasanjo as president in 1999. Examining the eras of Shehu Shagari, Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida, Sani Abacha and Abdulsalam Abubakar as consecutive Muslim Nigerian heads of state, it is nearly impossible to establish the existence of directed and coordinated push for Islamic law in that area. Following Obasanjo’s entry however, Zamfara, Kano, Sokoto, Katsina, Bauchi, Borno, Jigawa, Kebbi, Yobe, Kaduna, Niger and Gombe decided in quick succession to embrace a separate penal code from southern Nigeria, based on Sharia law. Understanding the political resonance of the Izala Movement in Northern Nigeria and the power wielded by the indicted terror financiers and terrorists who still sit on its board is key to understanding 2 things about terrorism in Nigeria. Boko Haram is a logical development growing out of the rise of political Islam in Nigeria, with its roots in Salafism, popularised by Abubakar Gumi and his ideological heirs. It is impossible to divorce Abubakar Gumi’s use of Saudi money and Wahhabi indoctrination in the 1970s, from the adoption of Sharia Law in Northern Nigeria, the rise of violent Salafists like Abubakar Shekau and Isa Pantami, and the eventual inevitable mass uprising against the Nigerian state that will take place in the north. While the Boko Haram brand is an unattractive one, the goals of Boko Haram are by no means unattractive to those who make up the ideological core of the Izala Movement, which is Nigeria’s most influential Islamic sect. Aminu Daurawa who famously praised the September 11 attacks in a 2001 sermon with a quote claiming that “Allah is a suicide bomber,” is today the head of Kano’s Hisbah police and a high ranking Izala Movement member. With sympathisers and collaborators up to and including President Buhari himself, the Izala Sect has no incentive or reason to fundamentally rethink or change its ideology - which is directly and provably linked to Salafist terrorism. As long as Isa Pantami’s “Mr Zero Zero” (a reference to an ideologically pure Muslim with zero tolerance for bid’ah. i.e a hardline Salafist) retains his obvious and unapologetic sympathy for an organisation with clear and ongoing links to the enemy he claims to be fighting against as Nigeria’s president, the Izala Movement has no incentive to reinvent itself. There is no way that the Nigerian president is not aware of Yakubu Musa Hassan Katsina’s history as a known terrorist, as well as the Izala Movement’s extremely problematic history and current composition. And yet, as recently as 2018, President Buhari was pictured in Aso Rock meeting with Izala Movement president Abdullahi Bala Lau, Yakubu Musa Hassan Katsina, Kabiru Gombe and Ibrahim Jalo Jalingo. May be an image of 4 people and people smiling It is either I have more access to information about his friends and associates than the Nigerian president does, with a plethora of intelligence and information gathering agencies at his disposal, or he knows all this already and he has chosen a side. Clearly, to the Izala Movement, this picture taken in 2018, was a statement. An Obasanjo government may have arrested Yakubu Katsina and his likes in 2005, but 13 years later, Katsina’s ideological ally is in office standing solidly next to him, as he stood solidly next to Isa Pantami. The Izala Movement has won and everybody else has lost. The only other angle of high level involvement not yet addressed is that of the Jordanian government. Recall that Yakubu Katsina was named among the world’s 500 Most Influential Muslims by a Jordanian state-backed NGO? Well it turns out that the NGO in question - The Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre - is itself affiliated with the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought. A visit to this institute’s website reveals something strange. One of its publications titled ‘Report on the Inter-Religious Tensions and Crisis in Nigeria’ published in May 2012 has the following to say about ending violence between Muslims and Christians in Nigeria. This report, produced by a state-funded NGO in Jordan as far back as 2012, is prima facie evidence of a coordinated international campaign of strategic disinformation for the purpose of framing the reality of terrorism in Nigeria in a way that is completely dishonest. Making reference to alleged income disparity between Nigeria’s “Christian South” and “Muslim North,” the report attempts to portray the latter as the victim of economic bullying and poverty, without citing data to support this conclusion. Very tellingly, at a time when conversations about violence related to nomadic cattle herding were not yet present in Nigeria’s political equation, a Jordanian organisation with links to Yakubu Katsina - a known Nigerian terrorist - was already recommending “grazing routes” as a solution for a problem that for the most part, did not actually exist yet. 9 years later, the question is…how did they know? https://westafricaweekly.substack.com/p/cornflakes-for-jihad-the-boko-haram?r=p0z0&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source= 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Nasreddin however, is a very rich man. Like all very rich men, he appears to have a way around problems that would ground other people. In 2005, Lisa Myers and Aram Roston of the NBC News Investigative Unit discover that despite his designation as a terror financier in the US, Nasreddin’s Nigerian business empire and his Italian hotel are still operating as normal. Quoted in the story, Victor Comras, a former terror-finance expert at the State Department says: “This isn't a loophole, this is failure to implement the sanctions appropriately. He's been involved in terrorist financing. Let's put him out of business.” That would prove easier said than done because just 2 years later in 2007, the LA Times publishes a story indicating that - to all intents and purposes - Nasreddin has cut some kind of deal with the US government, likely involving asset forfeitures, to get his name off the list of terror financiers. He has been indicted for funding terror, some of which has found its way into the lives of the Nigerian consumers who have made him fabulously wealthy, but he is off the hook. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

From Eritrea With Love We now rejoin our Eritrean friend in the year 2006. The Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) has recently been gazetted, and one of the first things its counter-terrorism unit does is to freeze all assets linked to NASCO Group Nigeria Limited. Apparently, Mr. Nasreddin has been doing some creative accounting to hide the fact that he is moving money around the world to fund Islamist terror organisations. Or at least, that was what the Nigerian government itself wrote to the UN in the same letter. A Wikileaks cable from 2002 hints at American hesitancy on the subject of freezing NASCO’s Nigerian assets due to the economic implications for Plateau State and political implications in Nigeria. The real proof of Nasreddin’s double life however, comes from the US Treasury Department which publishes a comprehensive account of how he launders and moves money around the world for terrorist entities. Want to hear the real kicker? Nasreddin has been funding and laundering money for none other than GSPC - the Algerian terrorist group which Yakubu Katsina and Shahru Haruna are also involved with at the exact same time. The Nigerian jihadis being trained in Algerian camps in 2002 will later return to Nigeria and make up the core of what will later become known as “Boko Haram.” And - what a coincidence - NASCO is also based in Jos, which so happens to be the headquarters of the Izala Movement and its many North African dalliances. Using money made from selling market-leading FMCGs to Nigerian consumers, a cross-border network of terrorism is being nurtured that will someday kill the very kids eating NASCO cornflakes every morning. And it’s all thanks to this nice gentleman from Eritrea. https://westafricaweekly.substack.com/p/cornflakes-for-jihad-the-boko-haram?r=p0z0&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source= 10 Likes 1 Share |

In case the reader is wondering if this picture can get any worse, the answer is yes. It can, and it will. Take note of the name circled in red below. Zahraddeen Shahru Haruna is Shahru Haruna’s son, so it is no surprise for him to show up as a director on his father’s BDC registration documents. There’s just one problem. Remember Emefiele saying that BDCs facilitate terror financing? Well just a month before he made that comment, a circular was sent out to banks by the CBN with the names of 18 companies and individuals whose bank accounts were to be frozen with a PND (Post No Debit) mandate. Very unusually, no reason was given for the instruction, and also unusually, on a list made up of corporate accounts, there was an account belonging to an individual.

Even more interestingly, when I do some digging into Mr. Haruna, I discover something potentially even more alarming. It will be recalled that in September 2021, CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele claimed that a significant portion of dollars bought by Bureau de Change (BDC) operators in Nigeria goes into illegal importation of arms. Speaking at the end of the monthly Monetary Policy Committee meeting, he said: “Whether it’s Boko Haram, kidnapping and all sorts of nefarious activities, BDCs take our country’s dollar and sell to people to go and buy arms and ammunition to come and hurt us. That’s what people want us to continue to do. We cannot do that any longer. We can’t. If you have any legal, legitimate business you want to conduct, please take your business to a bank, they will sell you forex.” A search of Nigeria’s Corporate Affairs Commission database for the name “Shahru Haruna” turns up a plethora of companies registered under the “Dan Diyma” name. A man identified by the Nigerian government itself as a security threat for funding terror via money laundering was somehow allowed to own and operate a BDC, which according to the CBN governor, could well have been doing precisely that. A CBN circular from October 2020 confirms that at least as recently as last year, Haruna Shahru was allowed to run a BDC in Nigeria, potentially giving him access to the very funding infrastructure that he should not have under any circumstances. A glance at one of the other “Dan Diyma” business entities shows that even the email address used to register this entity - purportedly a petroleum company, albeit one with zero identifiable corporate footprint - belongs to Dan Diyma BDC, which says everything about how important the BDC is to Haruna Shahru. The question left unanswered is “Why?” 14 Likes 2 Shares |

Mr. Kafanchan was even recently named as one of the 500 Most Influential Muslims in the World by The Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre, a Jordanian government-affiliated NGO. More on that later. Type your email… Subscribe Apparently Mr. Kafanchan has been known to the Nigerian security forces as the leader of a terror network trying to set up terror cells in Katsina and Kano as far back as 2002. Keep that date in mind because it will become even more important as we unravel this further. According to official Nigerian government communication to the UN, this real-life Islamic terror organiser is known to have affiliations with a certain ‘GSPC’ group trying to carry out terror attacks in Nigeria, and he was even arrested for it in 2005 - 4 whole years before the world ever heard of a “Boko Haram.” Yet in 2021 he is not only a free man, but a powerful free man, with access to federal ministers, state governors and President Muhammadu Buhari himself. And then there is the GSPC angle. ‘GSPC’ stands for “Groupe Salafiste pour la Prédication et le Combat” (Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat). A full primer on the origin of the group and what it stands for is available here. Cliff notes summary: It is an illegal Salafi terrorist organisation based in Algeria which is affiliated with Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. It specialises in providing training, funding and support to Islamists and jihadi fighters around the world using a vast global network of smugglers, money launderers and rat lines. Which brings us to the second name in the above letter excerpt. Alhaji Shahru Haruna, in the Nigerian government’s own words, is a GSPC agent who funds the activities of people like Kabiru Sokoto by laundering proceeds from smuggled goods. He too, was arrested and held on terror financing charges. Somehow he too, is not only a free man today, but a powerful one in his own right too. It will not surprise the reader to find out that Alhaji Haruna is also a ranking member of the Izala Movement. According to these posts I dug up from Facebook accounts linked to the Kano State Izala Movement chapter, Alhaji Haruna is the Deputy President of the Kano State chapter of JIBWIS. Like Yakubu Kafanchan, this indicted terror funder not only retains his position in Nigeria’s most influential Muslim body, but is also a respected Islamic preacher with access to the Who’s Who of Nigerian politics and governance. 4 Likes |

A Wikileaks cable from 2002 confirms that this arrest actually did take place, only for the suspect to be released inexplicably after 27 days in detention. For those who are not aware, Yakubu Musa Kafanchan, also known as Sheikh Yakubu Musa Katsina and Yakubu Musa Hassan is a founding member of the Izala Movement (JIBWIS), and is in fact, the current Chairman of its board of trustees and the Chairman of the Katsina State JIBWIS chapter. He is a widely respected Islamic cleric and a very close personal friend and public associate of - no prizes for guessing - Isa Ali Pantami. Yes, that Isa Pantami. 39 Likes 7 Shares |
