dagok: FRAUD ALERT: Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew, the Fake World Youth President - Beware of Another Dino in the Making!
It is no more news in Nigeria that some individuals rose to power in politics bearing false claims of their previous achievements. An example of such was the recent controversies surrounding Senator Dino Melaye's certificate. It is quite certain that the “Ajekun iya Senator” will be one of many of his generations that have explored such means to establish themselves into the Nigerian political system. It is worrisome to see some youth trailing the same path. It is therefore expedient that we, as Nigerians who are interested in advocating for anti-corruption and good governance, should make every effort to stop these youths from climbing into the political system using such dubious means and tarnishing the image of our dear country.
In November 2016, news emerged on several social media platforms based in Nigeria, that Mr Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew Adeniyi Matthew has been elected as the President of the World Youth Organization (WYO). Later in January 2017, Mr Adeniyi claimed to have been sworn into office at the United Nations headquarter in Geneva, Switzerland in a photograph that vividly showed a room setup in Nigeria with various deceptive costumes (See attached picture). The self-proclamation of Adeniyi as the president of WYO was also covered by prominent newspapers such as Nigerian Tribune Tribune (http://tribuneonlineng.com/nigerian-emerges-president-general-world-youth-organisation/) and Vanguard News Vanguard (http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/01/nigerian-adeyemi-heads-world-youth-organisation/). It is so shameful to see these prominent news outlets covering and feeding the Nigeria populace with such falsified stories without conducting comprehensive findings. Interestingly, one of them mentioned that Mr. Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew was a former aide to former United Nations’s Secretary General, Mr Ban Ki-moon, and former Accounting Officer to the late Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade. Kindly check the link to read more from the inept reporters of these various news outlets.
Since then, Mr Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew Adeniyi Matthew II has been parading himself in this capacity and soliciting financial supports and political collaborations in Nigeria under the auspices of his “self-proclaimed” position at the WYO. Moreover, he is currently promoting the "World Economic Youth Summit 2017" under the disguise of this position using a self-created Facebook page World Youth Economic Summit 2017 (https://www.facebook.com/World-Youth-Economic-Summit-2017-1663101880650104/). He is also inviting people, probably gullible Nigerians, to use $600 to register for the conference in an attempt to siphon their money (http://wyesummit.org/registration/). His folly caught up with him when we realized that the website was designed by Webline of address #2 Ogunyase Street, UI, Ibadan. Our checks showed that there is an authentic organization with the same name and based in the UK World Youth Organization. The organization is a registered charity in England and Wales, and not related to UN as Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew claimed. Information available on the WYO's website showed that the organisation does not have a president presently but headed by a Chief Executive, Kieran Max Goodwin (https://www.worldyo.org/our-organisation/staff). Interestingly, Mr. Adeniyi Matthew referenced Kieran Max Goodwin as one of those that organised the election that brought him into office and was also present at his inauguration. This prompted us to contact the WYO to make further enquiries. It is to our amazement to hear that WYO has been earlier alerted of the fraudulent activities carried out by Mr. Adeniyi Matthew and the organization released a public statement to this effect in February 2017 to denounce any link with Mr. Adeniyi Matthew (https://www.worldyo.org/news/latest-news/2017-02-12-fraud-warning-organisation-based-nigeria)
At the end of the day, I don’t see elections happening in 2027. The masses won’t let this slide without strong resistance, and it could spiral into a massive revolution like the Arab Spring years ago.

SOLUTION: - Proposal for 5-Year Maintenance Contract
Please, award the daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly maintenance contract for a 5-year term, with rollover and extension provisions. Ensure that the budget for this is created and approved annually.
This is the solution. Without it, the structure will deteriorate beyond recognition in the next 5 years due to poor maintenance culture.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

They should be paraded publicly on national TV & shot at close range. Enough of this madness because it takes madness to cure madness. Nobody has the monopoly of madness.
These are indications that the Tinubu administration is seeking to engage VeryDarkMan (VDM) to de-escalate his criticism and protests.
Accordingly, the government may offer incentives, but VDM is expected to reject them unless the government addresses the underlying issues.
The action also suggests that if the demands are not met, the protests could expand significantly similar to the Arab spring uprising in the coming days.
Iran has demanded $300bn (£225bn) from the US to end the war in Iran and open up the Strait of Hormuz.
However, Tehran will not give up control over the strategic waterway and will continue its nuclear enrichment, according to a draft agreement published by Iranian state media.
The text emerged amid expectations that JD Vance, the US vice-president, will fly to Geneva to sign a deal, potentially on Sunday, before next week’s G7 meeting in the French Alps.
The deal is understood to be a memorandum of understanding (MOU), effectively a promise to hold further negotiations rather than a finalised peace agreement.
Iran's 14-point deal to end war
1 An immediate and permanent ceasefire on all fronts, including in Lebanon.
2 The United States commits to non-interference in Iran's internal affairs and to respecting the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
3 The complete lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days.
4 The United States commits to withdrawing its forces from the area around Iran.
5 The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days, under arrangements made by Iran.
6 The suspension of sanctions on the sale of oil, petrochemical products and related derivatives, together with full access for Iran to its financial resources.
7 The United States and its allies to provide reconstruction plans for Iran worth at least $300bn.
8 The parties will spend 60 days negotiating a final deal about nuclear issues and the complete removal of US, UN, and IAEA-related sanctions and restrictions.
9 A reaffirmation of Iran's commitment in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to not produce nuclear weapons.
10 During the negotiations, the United States commits not to increase its forces in the region and will not impose new sanctions.
11 The release of $24bn in frozen Iranian funds during the 60-day negotiation period. Half of this amount must be made available to Iran before the negotiations begin.
12 The establishment of a monitoring mechanism to oversee implementation of the agreement.
13 The final agreement to be approved by a UN Security Council resolution.
14 Final negotiations will not begin until half of Iran's frozen funds have been released, sanctions on Iranian oil have been suspended, and the naval blockade has been lifted.
The negotiations will focus solely on enriched nuclear material and enrichment activities, the lifting of sanctions, and Iran's economic reconstruction programme. Discussions regarding Iran's missile programme and its support for resistance groups have been explicitly excluded from the agenda.
It calls on the US and its allies to pay Iran reparations for damage caused by the war and “to present reconstruction plans for Iran amounting to at least $300bn”.
Donald Trump said on Thursday that the US had “made a great deal” with Iran. However, an Iranian foreign ministry spokesman said: “We have not yet reached a conclusion on this matter.”
Iran’s Tasnim state news agency said the MOU was yet to receive approval from the Islamic Republic’s senior leadership.
An annual rent of ₦153 million for an office in Abuja is unjustifiably high, even with all-inclusive terms. For a development commission tasked with public service, this level of spending is indefensible and appears to constitute misuse of funds. I strongly recommend that this be halted immediately.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
BeautifulMind2: The South East Development Commission appeared before the Senate Committee on South East Development Commission yesterday as part of the National Assembly's constitutional oversight process and welcomes every opportunity to account for its stewardship of public resources.
Several issues from today's session have attracted public commentary. The Commission has addressed them directly: what the Abuja office expenditure actually covers, what "implied expenditure" means and why that money has not left our accounts, and how available funds have been deployed to build an institution and advance regional projects in the absence of any capital budget release.
Nobody has the monopoly of madness. Israel should strike Iran randomly same way they've been doing & let's see who'll shout genocide. It takes madness to cure madness.
