I am unsure he would be captured alive. As a former US ally, he is sure to carry the cyanide pills about OR as there is too much to reveal, the US will not allow him live through a UN trial. This will be another wonder of the world if caught alive for a trial; US has so much to cover in this one.

Computers › Identify Fake Profiles On Facebook Using Google Image Search by gulfer(op): 9:18am On Oct 06, 2011

Guys, I thought this might be helpful on how to limit facebook interactions you do not want.
[How To]: Identify Fake Profiles On Facebook Using Google Image Search

Facebook changes spark online complaints
Recently, the search engine giant- Google launched its new Search by Image feature, and here we are, exploiting it for a better society.

Recently, I have been receiving a lot of add-requests on Facebook , from profiles that appear to be fake. Of course, you can identify them first by looking at the profile pic, which in most cases is a bit too bold. Then, the profiles mostly have friends of one particular gender, either all males or all females and not much information of their profile info page. Here’s a little trick to identify fake Facebook profiles using Goog

Facebook weaving in movies, music and news
le Search by Image feature:

# Log-in to Facebook using your account and go to the profile page of the suspected person. In my case, I received friend request from some Alisha Singh.

# Now, you need to download the profile pic (for further use). If you have permissions to view the profile pic, you can download it directly, and if you are not allowed to view the pics, just download the thumbnail from the profile page.

# Next, point your browser to Google Image Search, or click here. You will find a Camera icon in the search box. This is the new feature added by Google yesterday. Click on the camera icon and upload the profile pic you downloaded earlier.

# Now, Google will search for the image over the web and find relevant links to that image. If the Facebook Profile is fake, you will see malicious links in the search results, just the way I saw for Alisha Singh name fake profile. You can see the search results in the image below:

Politics › Re: 'Don’t Commit Suicide' - Commissioner To Police Officers by gulfer: 6:36am On Sep 29, 2011

it is well:
The Commissioner of Police, Kebbi State Command, Alhaji Latif Abiodun Junaid, has charged the officers and ranks serving in the state not to commit suicide or be allowed to be killed while on active service but should pray for successful retirement so as to be alive to enjoy the fruits of their labour.

He gave this charge while addressing police formations in Bunza, Dakingari, Birnin Kebbi, Area command and 36 Mobile Barracks, saying “you must ensure your personal safety first so that you can provide an effective performance of protecting others.”

Mr Junaid advised the policemen to always be cautious. Though Kebbi State was relatively peaceful, he said, issues of security must not be taken with laxity saying, they must be at alert at all time to prevent any unpredictable situation as security cautiousness always prevented crime occurrence.

According to him, it had been a standing order that no police station must be allowed to be bombed or burnt, adding that any station that such happened, both the state commissioner and policemen on duty would be arrested and prosecuted, warning each policeman to remain at security alert of his environment.

http://tribune.com.ng/index.php/news/28859-dont-commit-suicide-commissioner-tells-police-officers

Do not commit suicide but MURDER is what the commissioner is saying(extrajudicial Killings and accidental discharges) This commissioner appears unlearned and his comments will haunt him later.

[quote author=aloy/emeka link=topic=770008.msg9237161#msg9237161 date=1317216957]Why are you attacking him?. Who cares how old Orikinla is?. What he said is absolutely true. It is better to stay single than marry and be unhappy or marry someone and bring misery to his/her life. Let's not talk about the children that will be caught in between.[/quote]Judging by the battering the poor guy recieved from the celebrity single-papa, Olisa surely is miserable and unhappy as a single man. He should be left unmarried to continue to wallow in perpetual self-delusion that the new colonisation (western value) has allowed in Africa nay Nigeria.

Orikinla:
Do you know that millions of couples in Nigeria would have fared better if they were not married. The hordes of poverty stricken parents still bringing innocent kids into this poor and unsafe overpopulated country are the worst liabilities. They often beg single and successful men and women for the school fees and other provisions for their kids. You see many of them living in overcrowded tenement in the slums. Only few of their sons and daughters make it out of the slums. Their daughters resort to runs and prostitution to afford the good things of life. And many of them even harass Olisa for cash and jobs. These same hypocrites are here attacking him. Including the celebrity blogger of this story.

Yes you are right, but do you know that if he had unmarried ancestors, chance are he will not be punching the poor colleague? He has the means to cater for a family but is not taking the chance. Getting married is a choice and he has chosen to delay until 46+; if he will as his statement confirmed, then he should better do it at a time the wife and children will enjoy his virility. Or do we conclude he is waiting for a nanny-wife in old age?

What is my business with how much it was used to set it up? I am not EFCC.

A vehicle once recovered, remains a recovered vehicle, even in 1000 years after.

whats your point here?

My point remains that for a system to be effective, it needs a steward to ensure its integrity. On ROI, are you saying you spend your resources without seeing its result?

Car Talk › Re: Check For Stolen Vehicles On This Site By Nigerian Police Force by gulfer: 10:50am On Sep 19, 2011

That can happen anywhere- it only means sensible people will go there when needed. Not only a problem of the Nigerian police but police everywhere.

A system such as this requires a steward. If not monitored, things will not work as intended or haven't you checked the recovered vehicle tab; same vehicles from 2009/2010. you might want to ask what the ROI of the unsupervised/unadminstered portal is in terms of how much was used to set it up.

The road is in no better shape from August. Manual labour patching ala OGROMA is being used utilised for a road of such consequence. I am happy i made it back with my family. The patching will only increase the bumps on the road. Somebody needs to ask Babalakin when last he or anyone in his nuclear family travelled on the road. I can bet his visit to redeem was done by air.

Just came across this site by the NPF(Nigerian Police Force)
its meant to assist with the tracking and verification of stolen vehicles within Nigeria.
Its also a good resource for other vehicle related activities

http://www.policevrp.com/secure/home.php

This is a good initiative from the Nigerian Police Force

Like all initiatives of government, well concieved but poor execution. I reported a stolen company vehicle on the site in May 2010 but discovered later it disappeared from the log. The site also allows duplicated reports and no moderation is seen at work on the site. The recovered vehicles are still same from last year. What is worth doing is worth doing well at all times,

[quote author=dipo+ link=topic=756414.msg9124277#msg9124277 date=1315748277]OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE

The attention of the management of THE BEAT 99.9FM has been drawn to widespread online and social media reports, regarding an unfortunate incident that occurred between two members of our staff on THE BEAT FM 99.9 FM premises in the early hours of Thursday September 8, 2011.

The management team can confirm that there was an altercation between our Programmes Director Olisa Adibua and our editor Adewunmi Oyekanmi. We are fully investigating the incident and have placed Olisa Adibua on a four-week suspension as a precautionary measure while he cooperates fully with the investigation. Adewunmi Oyekanmi is also assisting us with the investigation.

As a responsible organisation, the management of THE BEAT 99.9FM condemns any form of violence, assault and abuse, and, will not condone any such act by ANY member of staff.

The BEAT of Lagos event that occurred on the 9th of September, in which Olisa co-hosted with our other BEAT 99.9 presenters, was a jointly staged event with a partner. This partner was made aware of the situation and still requested that we honour the existing contract with his firm which stated that all presenters, including Olisa Adibua, be present at the event.

We assure our listeners, friends, partners and all concerned parties that decisive actions will be taken, and enforced. The management of the BEAT 99.9FM is already putting in place measures to prevent a repeat of such an unfortunate incident.

Thank you for your understanding,

The Management

THE BEAT 99.9FM[/quote]You guys will do well to carry out a due diligence investigation into this bully act. Workplace and societal violence is surely on the rise especially among the celebrities who seem to get away with anything they do.

Met my sweetHEART by chance. Needed to buy a tuber of Yam in school, initially saw the elder sister, went back to the hostel to drop my notes and when i returned (there's a shop in the house) she was the one i saw but could not clearly differentiate because they look so much alike. To cut the story, we eventually got married after a lot of ups and downs.

Bi-Courtney, how far with fixing and then expanding this vital road.

Anybody with updates on what is happening on this road should please inform the house.

I was on the stretch of Express[b](killer)[/b]way on Saturday and counted not less than 6-7 accidents oe with dismembered bodies still littering the road. Obasanjo and Babalakin have illed more than Boko-haram in two years by not fixing the road to death that we call express-way. Babalakin is busy praying at Redeem camp that he should succeed in building the road or rather succeed in escaping without doing anything on the road. When OBJ took down the tolls, people thought it was a people friendly administration but i think we are all wiser now. Babalakin got the BOT for the road and will only start work if Tinubu's BOT for the Lekki express-way is allowed to work the way he wanted (collect tolls)

This whole discussion is about the merit of his idea not whether I like him or not (I couldnt care less who he is or what he's doing). I firmly believe[b] it [/b] has merit and I am defending it solely on that basis.

more radio stations is better.

Unless you actually see radio stations as a backward tradition irrespective of the number. Wake up and smell the roses, radio is still around and evolving. in fact, if all goes well, we should see it evolve into a more interactive format.
Thats how to develop, by taking in good ideas, irrespective of the origin.

Codewriter, i am for more radio stations which translates to more jobs for the media practitioners but my arument remains that he had all the chance in the world to get us beyond where he left us. In his civilian tenure, we got GSM and lost NITEL, got PHCN and lost NEPA. I'll leave it a=t that. Good Morning.

@kodewrita, from your arguement, we may need more white elephants like the PHCN in order to have sustainable power, like Nitel in order to further improve telecommunication abi. OBJ is a selfish and self justifying leader who will never agree he made a mistake for actions or inactions. People who tried to set up radios were hounded if their views are contrary to his Government's just like newspapers. Can you say the media practitioners were protected during his regime?
