South Africa’s MTN paid its former chief executive officer Sifiso Dabengwa 23.7 million rand ($1.6 million) after he resigned over a record fine imposed on the company by Nigerian authorities. Dabengwa quit in November after Nigerian authorities imposed a $5.2 million fine on MTN’s Nigerian unit in October. He was awarded a total payout of 40.6
million rand, MTN said in its annual
report on Monday. Non-executive chairman Phuthuma Nhleko was then named executive chairman of Africa’s biggest mobile phone group for a period of six months, to help resolve the fine. MTN has since managed to negotiate the penalty down to $3.9 billion but is still hoping to reduce it further. MTN’s share price has been down almost 20 percent since October when the fine was imposed. The stock had fallen 1.21 percent at 145.59 rand by 1407 GMT. Last year, Nigeria imposed a deadline on mobile operators to cut off unregistered SIM cards, which MTN missed, amid fears
the lines were being used by criminal
gangs, including militant Islamist group Boko Haram.

He practiced soothsaying , used witchcraft and sorcery , and consulted mediums and spiritists.

Ephesians 6:12, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

but the term "high places" or "heavenly places" can often be regarded as spiritual covens or habitat of demons, spiritual entities etc.

The University of Calabar (UNICAL) has expelled 33 students for alleged examination malpractice. The Vice-Chancellor (VC), Prof Zana Akpagu, made this known during a briefing.
A professor, the VC said, was also retired by the Senate for plagiarism.
Prof Akpagu said the development was in line with his mission to rid the school of indiscipline and restore its academic glory. He reiterated management’s stance against corruption, saying: “The affected students and staff are shown the way out to restore discipline and integrity.”
He said UNICAL was the only school offering a course on anti-corruption, noting that the course was introduced in collaboration with the Independent Corrupt Practice and other Allied Matters Commission (ICPC) to inculcate good values in students.


The Pro-chancellor, Dr Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, who is also the chairman of the Governing Council, said the council supported the anti-corruption crusade of the VC, noting that it was in line with President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration’s anti-graft policy.
Iwuanyanwu said: “There is corruption everywhere. Our professors and intellectuals should sit down and formulate strategies to curb academic corruption. We must create platform to stop abuse of students by lecturers. We have to discourage sorting and bribery by academic staff. We don’t want corruption to be mentioned with the name of this university.”
Iwuanyanwu challenged the university staff and students to report corrupt practice wherever they notice it. He said such would help the management to drive its policy of making the school the best in Africa.

So Wetin I go carry am do?

If like they want me to believe, that the project was not in the budget, and they knew of it and it's economic benefit and they also saw the money there, why didn't they simply include it, at least they could have use it to mock the executive and gain praise.

But they choose to take the money, allocate it to other projects that wasn't included. So, who is really deceiving who?

One of the most popular social
networking website Facebook, is now
reportedly seeing a drop in original
content sharing on its news feed,
which is potentially a major concern
for the company. A report by The Information has stated that posts about public information like news articles dropped 21 percent year over year as of mid-2015. Overall sharing
reportedly fell 5.5 percent from
mid-2014 to mid-2015 as well. It is being said that as the social networking site becomes older, users
have become less inclined to share
updates on their lives even as their list
of friends and acquaintances continues to swell. Facebook also made a comment to The Information saying, “People continue to share a ton on Facebook; the overall level of sharing has remained not only strong, but similar to levels in prior years.” Facebook also has a dedicated team in
place called context collapse, which is
working on finding methods and
ways on how to tackle the major
decline. Company CEO has also spoken
about inspiring personal sharing at staff meetings in 2016, according to
people familiar with the matter. Facebook has also officially announced a suite of tools designed to help Facebook users more easily
communicate with businesses using
Messenger. Now, businesses will be
able to see their Facebook Page
usernames being heavily promoted
across the website, and Facebook will offer new ways to communicate with
them such as Messenger Links, which
are short URLs, and scannable
Messenger Codes. These features are
said to roll out in the “coming weeks.”

Indian military choppers have been pressed into service to ferry the injured to the hospitals and the state government has cancelled the leaves of all doctors and demanding them to report to duty. According to officials, a spark had actually ignited a stack of fireworks, triggering the fire. “It was a spark from the crackers being burst that fell into the stack of crackers kept on ground, leading to the fire,” another official said.
Local TV channels showed footage of white smoke billowing from the temple and also reported that successive explosions from stack of crackers caused some parts of the temple roof to cave in. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his remark said the inferno was “heart-rending and shocking.” Modi headed to Kerala to meet the injured in a special Indian Air Force flight, along with a team of 15 specialist doctors from the national capital.

deceased and prayers with the injured,” Modi said while also announcing a
compensation of two lakh rupees (4,000 U.S. dollars) for the families of each of the deceased. State Chief Minister Oommen Chandy has said the temple had defied orders and carried out the “competitive fireworks”, which are a tradition during the ongoing seven-day festival ahead of the New Year of native Keralites. “A case has been registered against the temple authorities and soon they will be arrested. A judicial probe has been
ordered into the fire,” the police official said.
