I'd be delighted if you can share these cloned phone numbers and their details for cautionary sake writetopoker: |
Organized ponzi scheme per se, like MMM writetopoker: |
Lessons from the Ponzi COVID Incident My experience with the Insme cash-out scheme serves as a cautionary tale. I was introduced to this opportunity by a family friend who had previously found success in the system. Intrigued, I decided to conduct my own inquiries on the cash-out scheme, which was gaining popularity at the time. I made a small initial investment to test its viability. To my surprise, after a few weeks, I saw nearly quadruple returns on my investment, bolstering my confidence in the scheme. Encouraged by my results, I subsequently invited several friends to join in, collectively investing nearly a million. Unfortunately, we only managed to withdraw a small portion of our funds before the scheme was revealed to be a Ponzi operation. This incident ultimately became one of the largest Ponzi schemes in Nigeria, highlighting the risks associated with such investments. It serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of thorough inquiry and the need to approach high-return investment opportunities with caution. |
THE PONZI COViD My Ponzi experience: An insme cunning I was introduced to the Insme "cash-out" scheme at that time by a family friend who had previously cashed out and was very successful in the game per se. After his introduction, I did my own personal inquiry on the cash-out scheme, which was at that moment in its prime, and I invested a small amount for testing purposes, and some weeks later, I got almost a quadruple of my invested amount even after multiple trials. Having seen this opportunity, I lured a bunch of friends to invest an amount summing up to almost a million and we were only able to withdraw a very small amount before the cash-out scheme officially became a PONZI. Afterward, the news was all over about the Ponzi, which then became the second-highest Ponzi in Nigeria, as far as the figures are concerned. |
By Zeniat Abubakar Stakeholders in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, joined forces in a summit, to advocate for the reduction of carbon emissions and to promote a more sustainable future. They emphasised collective action toward cutting carbon emissions on World Decarbonisation Day, with the theme “Accelerating Decarbonisation for a Climate Secure Future,” which brought together leaders from government, business, and advocacy groups. The Mandate Secretary for Health and Environment Services in the Federal Capital Territory Administration, Dr. Adedolapo Fasawe highlighted the severe health risks posed by carbon pollution, including respiratory diseases and rising cancer rates among younger populations. She warned that excessive carbon in the atmosphere is hazardous to human health. “We have decided to come up with a World Decarbonisation Day as a day where we remind people of the effects of carbon in the air. “Extreme temperatures, even death, bronchiolitis, asthma, different lung diseases are caused by carbon in the air,” she said. “Younger people are having more cancer now because they are breathing in all sorts of things. “So when we say decarbonisation, we want to start reducing the amount of carbon we put into the air and the sources of carbon are exhaust from car fuels, generators, fossil fuels and dump sites,” she added. Emphasizing the need to reduce carbon emissions, Dr. Fasawe noted the importance of fossil fuels in maintaining ecosystem balance but expressed optimism about a future powered primarily by renewable energy sources such as solar power. “If there is too much of it and we are not taking it, the ecosystem will be destroyed. However, I foresee a future where our first line of choice will be renewable energy. “Those things we call inverters, solar power, solar batteries, covering a whole hospital, covering a whole village, covering a whole district. That day is possible, and it will come,” Fasawe said. Decarbonization The National President of Women in Oil and Gas, Dr. Oladunni Owo highlighted that decarbonization is not just a technology shift but a power shift, stressing that climate justice is not charity but geopolitics. “Africa must stop exporting raw resources and importing finished dreams. “If we want a just transition, we must stop thinking of women and Africa as “beneficiaries” of climate action. We are authors of the transition. We are investors, innovators, and architects of the new energy economy. “We are not just gathering to repeat what has been said elsewhere. We are here to set a new tone,” she explained. Dr. Owo also championed the role of women in leading the transformation, noting that they are already on the front lines of every crisis and should not have to wait for permission to lead. “And why do we assume women must wait for permission to lead this transformation when history shows that in every crisis, women are already on the front lines, feeding families,” Owo said. Chairperson for World Decarbonization Day 2025, Mrs Toyin Yusuf explained that the annual summit’s goal is to raise awareness about decarbonization and encourage young Nigerians to develop new technologies and innovations in this area. She underscored the importance of all individuals, organizations, and governments taking responsibility on their part to reduce carbon emissions. Deputy Chairman House Committee on Environment, Mr.Teseer Ugbor reaffirmed the commitment of lawmakers to end gas flaring by supporting stricter penalties and ensuring affected communities receive adequate compensation. “As a member of the House of Reps and our committee, we visited several of the gas flaring sites and met with a lot of the oil industry players to discuss the timeframes and the timelines for ending gas flaring. “And there’s actually a bill on the floor of the House which has gone through second reading to penalise and punish gas flaring and companies that are still flaring gas in the country,” he added. “We’re trying to ensure that there are stiffer penalties for gas flaring and communities that are most affected by this gas flaring get proper compensation for the effects, health and environmental effects of gas flaring in their communities. “And I think once this bill is passed, it will go a long way in reducing the incentive for gas flaring and get the oil industry players to invest more into capturing this gas and using it for productive uses,” Ugbor assured them. He also acknowledged the vital role of women in the clean energy transition. The summit served as a call to action for individuals, organizations, and governments to take responsibility and lead Nigeria and Africa towards a cleaner, sustainable energy future. https://von.gov.ng/stakeholders-advocate-reduction-of-carbon-emissions/ |

Gifted Children Are Everywhere: A Spark from Birnin Gwari. Genius often begins quietly, in places many never expect. In the town of Birnin Gwari, a young man named Babangida is proving this truth. At just twenty years old, and without ever travelling beyond his home state, he has built a fully functional drone with his own hands. Babangida completed secondary school in 2022 and set himself a challenge that many would consider impossible. He studied books, drew careful plans, and carried out endless tests. After many trials, his design finally came to life. Using a simple remote control, he launched his first drone from Unguwar Sarki and guided it across the sky to the Science Secondary School. Although the drone landed deep in the forest and could not return on its own, Babangida had planned. He had fitted a magnetic tracker that allowed him to find it easily. Rather than seeing the fall as failure, he treated it as a lesson. He examined the weaknesses, redesigned the controls, and built a stronger, smarter model. His improved drone now responds perfectly to commands, can be tracked from the ground, and returns safely after each flight. Its quality rivals drones made in China, the United States, or Japan, all achieved by a young man who has never even visited Abuja. Babangida’s spirit of invention does not stop there. Together with his friend Mujahid, he has created a small hydro-energy system. With nothing more than a bucket of water flowing over a coil, they can generate electricity to power lights, pump water, or run small appliances, all without any heavy machinery. It is a simple but powerful idea that shows how energy can be drawn from the most ordinary resources. Young talents like these are treasures hidden in our communities. Too often they are mocked, ignored, or dismissed as idle dreamers. Yet a society that neglects such brilliance will remain dependent on foreign knowledge and technology. The future belongs to those who recognise and nurture their own. Leaders in Birnin Gwari should see the promise before them. These youths deserve scholarships, training, and opportunities to grow, whether within Nigeria or abroad, so that their skills can blossom into world-changing innovations. And this call is not for leaders alone. If you know a gifted child in your family or neighbourhood, encourage them. Support their education, celebrate their experiments, and give them the tools to build their dreams. Greatness often begins with small acts of belief. If someone near you carries such a spark of creativity, share their story. Let their light inspire others, for every invention begins with one person daring to try. The world is waiting for the brilliance hidden in our backyards. Let us not wait for others to discover it first. Isah Muhammad, PhD.

The name Birnin Gwari brings creepy gloom... in the mind of innocent citizens due to the dominance of gang goons... in the area, on the grounds of the manslaughter and kidnapping workshop it has become. The Birnin Gwari peace model is not just a beacon of hope but a dialogue therapy as the situational reality before could be likened to a psyche issue needing Introspection Kudos to the Sabon Gwamna |
A Journey of a Thousand Miles: Birnin Gwari's Road to Recovery After six months of discreet negotiations, the Kaduna Peace Model was brokered by Governor Uba Sani's administration and has been in effect for 10 months, sustaining peace in Birnin Gwari Emirate and the surrounding areas. A visit to the area by this correspondent revealed that the peace agreement with bandit leaders has brought a mix of joy and rekindled hopes to Birnin Gwari, a town besieged by years of banditry, kidnapping, and cattle rustling. The peace agreement allows bandits to access local markets and primary healthcare centres without being challenged, in exchange for stopping levies, taxes, kidnapping, and crop destruction. The District Head of Kuyello, Yusuf Abubakar, while speaking at a stakeholders meeting today, notes that his domain has witnessed peaceful coexistence among the Fulani and Hausa communities, although concerns about pocketed criminal activities remain. In his remarks, Chairman of the Peace Dialogue Group, Mallam Musa Yusuf, admonished residents to work with relevant agencies to sustain the peaceful coexistence, emphasising the crucial role residents play in maintaining the peace accord. Similarly, the Chief of Staff to the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Sani Kila, expressed excitement over the return of peace to Birnin Gwari, citing increased traffic flow as a testament to better days ahead. He surmised Kaduna State Government established the Peace Dialogue Group, which has been tirelessly engaging stakeholders to build bridges of trust and sustain the peace. The peace agreement has brought a sense of relief and hope to the people of Birnin Gwari, who had been displaced, livelihoods disrupted, and lived in fear of insecurity. He disclosed that the State Government is working hand in hand with all relevant stakeholders in ensuring that the peace accord remains unhindered. The Emir of Birnin Gwari, Zubair Jibril MaiGwari II, welcomed the peace agreement, noting that it took six months to finalise and has sustained peace in the emirate for the past 10 months. Abubakar Uban Jambrose, a representative of the repentant bandits, urged Governor Sani to get in touch with governors of neighbouring states to adapt the peace model. |
If You Want the VP to Remember Something, Put It in a Book: Tribute to Kashim Shettima, the Philosopher King at 59! By Ibraheem Dooba The first time I encountered Kashim Shettima’s scholarly side, I dismissed it as posturing. It was during one of his interviews published on Sahara Reporters while he was the Governor of Borno State. He was quoting books in response to the interviewer’s questions. I assumed he had received the questions beforehand and simply looked up the quotes. Later, when the U.S. Embassy organized a workshop for governors’ spokespersons, I met the late Isa Gusau, Shettima’s media adviser, while I was Chief Press Secretary to Abubakar Sani Bello of Niger State. When Gusau told me, “My Oga reads every column, including yours (Prof. Brainy in the Daily Trust),” I didn’t believe him. Which governor has the time to read everything? Then we had dinner with Shettima, Gimba Kakanda, Hadiza Bala, and Senator Abubakar Kyari, now the Minister of Agriculture. It was in 2022, during the campaigns for the 2023 elections. Hadiza wanted Senator Kashim to persuade Asiwaju to sleep because he wasn’t resting at night. Shettima agreed, adding that if Asiwaju slept, he was even stronger than him, a much younger man. Then he turned to me and said: “In your book, you argued in favor of morning people over night owls.” I was stunned. Not only had he read my book The Social Science of Muhammad (SAW), but he remembered its contents and could reference them in an impromptu conversation. Colour me impressed—because this is synthesis, and the person who does that is called a scholar, also known as a philosopher. But he wasn’t done. “You also said that you couldn’t finish your PhD until you started going to the lab at 6 a.m.” The VP wasn’t trying to impress me. That’s simply how he operates, and you see it in all his interactions. My last meeting with him was four weeks ago in Addis Ababa. We met consultants who had helped the Ethiopian government plant millions of trees, to explore how Nigeria could replicate the feat. The consultants spoke first. When the VP responded, he refined their ideas and handed them back—quoting Bent Flyvbjerg’s book How Big Things Get Done, explaining the triple constraints of project management, and citing major global projects that went over budget and schedule because they violated those principles. At the end, the consultants left murmuring “wow.” They understood that he understood their field better than they did. But as he told them: “You can’t buy experience in the market.” In other words, we only needed them because they had successfully done it before with another government. This ability to synthesize and apply knowledge is one of four attributes he shares with scholars, and it convinced me that he is our philosopher king. Another example: I once wrote something that Gimba shared with him, and the VP responded by linking the book I referenced with another book—comparing where the two authors agreed and disagreed. Two. On our first trip with the VP outside Nigeria, while we were already in a meeting with our hosts, he beckoned to Gimba Kakanda and Dr. Kingsley, his SSA on Agriculture. I later realized he was reminding them to start book hunting. Gimba left, and that became his assignment for the day. He returned with a sackful of books. As Gimba later explained, the VP goes “book hunting” wherever he travels. A scholar is curious, driven by a deep and persistent desire to understand subjects thoroughly. This goes beyond casual interest—it is a disciplined pursuit of knowledge. They ask probing questions and seek out primary sources. Three. Like many scholars, the VP can be absent-minded. He sometimes forgets practical details but never forgets what he reads in books. For instance, he asked me several times to buy seedlings for him, only for me to remind him that he had already paid for them. This morning, as I was writing this tribute, he chatted me up on WhatsApp: “When is the best time for us to procure Jumbo Cashew Seeds?” I told him that he has already paid for some that are already with me. However, this time, he said we needed more. Therefore, if you want VP Shettima to remember something, put it in a book. I think I’ve also found his secret: he likes to share whatever he learns. That repetition keeps the knowledge fresh. Last Ramadan, when I went to his place for Iftar, Dr. Gawuna, the former Deputy Governor of Kano State, was visiting. Shettima said to him: “Do you know that Dr. Dooba goes to bed at 9:30 p.m. and wakes up at 4:30 a.m.?”—again citing my book. Gawuna’s reaction made all of us laugh. He couldn’t believe that an adult could sleep at 9:30 p.m., since politicians are typically night people. Four. He loves the company of intellectuals and enjoys linking them up. The last person he connected me with was a professor who texted me from Senegal saying: “HEVP asked me to contact you regarding…” My wife’s stepmother is called Maama Mai Kwashe-kwashe, meaning she collects all kinds of people and is related to everyone - from all tribes! Former VP Atiku Abubakar is often credited with assembling intellectuals, but I suspect that whenever Vice President Shettima encounters an expert anywhere in the world doing something worthwhile, he has a burning desire to bring them home to Nigeria. Five. Scholars are humble. The more they learn, the more they realize how small their place in the world really is. When I miss his calls and call back, he answers immediately. Smaller men would feel slighted if their calls weren’t picked up the first time. The VP is humble to a fault. “Good morning, sir!” That’s how he sometimes begins a chat. The first time, I thought he had mistaken me for someone else, so I replied: “H.E., this is Ibraheem Dooba!” Later, Abatcha Jarawa told me he does the same with him. I’m sure we’re not alone. Plato said the ideal state should be ruled by philosophers. We may not have Marcus Aurelius in this age, but Senator Kashim Shettima is the philosopher king of our generation. If you’re looking for the reason why he’s different, this is it: he is a politician who reads more than professors. A viral video of an American leader once noted that Black people globally spend $32 billion decorating their heads, but only $300 million on books that could fortify the inside of their heads. If we were all like HEVP Shettima, the Black race would have been unstoppable. From a Left-handed fellow |

EL-RUFAI'S SELECTIVE AMNESIA: STUDYING CALCULUS BEFORE MATHEMATICS: By Mahdi Shehu (1) "Those who fail to study Arithmetic, Algebra, and geometry yet aspire to understand Calculus are no different from those who don't look inwards and make amends"......popular saying (2) "A KING THAT HATES WEARING THE CROWN, HAS NO REASON TO TURBAN HIS APOINTEES"...African Proverb John 8:7 (3) "He who has no sin should cast the first stone:....... It is a phrase from the New Testament ( John 8:7) where Jesus challenges accusers to examine their own hearts before condemning a woman caught in adultery. The saying prompts individuals to look inward and consider their own motives and behaviors before criticizing or condemning others. 1. The video clip below was Nasiru EL-RUFAI speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily on 6 April 2016. Please let me know if it is a doctored version. 2. Vanguard Newspaper of 3rd of December 2016, reported that Mr. El-Rufai said : “We took certain steps. We got a group of people that were going round trying to trace some of these people in Cameroon, Niger Republic, and so on to tell them that there is a new governor who is Fulani like them and has no problem paying compensation for lives lost and he is begging them to stop killing.” That is why when El-Rufai took a swipe at Governor Uba Sani and Nuhu RIBADU for paying monies to bandits as part of the non kinetic( waiting for his withheld evidence) one began to ask silently some questions such as: Is it the same - EL- RUFAI who justified payment of ransom/gifts/ compensation to criminal gangs and indeed has paid out a huge sum of money to killer marauders that has now turned round to condemn other people for deploying material inducement as part of security management, because he is not part of the power circle.? Has he so soon forgotten that the height of insecurity, and irresponsible security spending and outright theft of security monies became a norm, culture and way of life from 1999 to date but more scandalous and ungodly between 2015 to 2023, a period wherein he was a dominant figure in Kaduna state and an active player and inner kitchen cabinet member of the infamous and reckless Buhari Government? Has he so soon forgotten that insecurity reached its peak under his former Boss, Buhari, to a point that almost everything came to a standstill despite the trillions spent in the name of fighting insurgency? EL-RUFAI'S last week's interview with Seun on channels TV is another reminder that the moment those who are used to being within the corridors of power and it spoils, lose that power or are no more within the corridors of power, tend to develop certain attitudes and behaviors not far away from that of those with an unknown affliction which defies all interventions and which has been a challenge even to mental health experts. From the beginning to the end of the said channel's interview with Seun, it was anger, hate, venom, and vindictiveness that were oozing out from EL-RUFAI'S judgmental errors. It would appear that even the passage of time will not heal self-inflicted deep-seated lacerations. If Nuhu RIBADU and Gov uba sani are guilty of the crimes attributed to them by EL-RUFAI, then EL-RUFAI is guiltier than them multifold times, comparing his over 20 years stint in the corridors of power with theirs. Let us all wait for the end of Uba Sani's tenor and compare it to Nasiru's to ascertain who the villain is. Until then: "He who has no sin should cast the first stone". ...John 8:7 |
