The Managing Director of Ntel, Mr Kamar Abass, said this in Lagos on Thursday during a media luncheon organised by the company.

Ntel is the company that acquired the assets and liabilities of defunct NITEL and MTEL.

Abass said the company would now be known as Nigeria Telecommunications (NTel) and would offer high speed data, high-definition voice and video to customers.

He added that there were still spaces in the marketplace for new SIMs; hence, NTel as a new entrant had many opportunities.

According to him, the company will be doing video over data and ensure Nigerians get high quality broadband, rather than cheap broadband.

“Nigeria is in extreme ‘data hunger’, with just 92.7 million active Internet users as at June 2015, but the surprising issue is that only 27.6 million of the users access the Internet are on 3G/4G networks.

“It shows that more than 65 million go on the Internet on 2G, which means that we are losing the broadband race by using 2G network, since 4G is the heart of broadband.

“Our story is that of pure 4G network, with high speed broadband and better technology. We see ourselves as offering Nigeria the key ingredient with the deployment of 4G.’’

The NTel boss said that the assets acquired from NITEL included cellular spectrum/microwave frequencies; telecom operating licences, international submarine cable, which is the SAT-3 and cell towers.

He added that the company also acquired fibre and duct network (including Right Of Way), prime buildings and satellite earth stations.

Abass said that the company would roll out services in three cities before the end of 2015, which included Lagos, Abuja and Port-Harcourt simultaneously.

He noted that some of the equipment acquired from NITEL were obsolete, hence they would not be used to deploy the 4G services.

According to him, the 4G network to be built by NTel will be better than what is presently obtainable in the industry.

The company would start deploying fixed service in the second half of 2016, he said NTel’s ownership of SAT-3 would also help with superfast Internet from West to South Africa and Europe, all the way to Asia.

Are these people well? Do they know how dangerous what they are doing is? This is currently happening at Mowe, Ibafo in Ogun state. A fuel tanker fell early this morning and residents and every opportunity seeker are there scooping fuel, risking their lives. This could explode at any minute...and there's no sight of safety or security officers around. See more photos after the cut...

Oh Oh! Ice Prince and his Ghanaian/French girlfriend have broken up...A reliable source told www.metroparrot.net the lovers called it quits last week.The rapper was so smitten with Maima and was flaunting her allover ...

For now, they still have each other's pics on their socialmedia pages because they don't want people to know..
However, true to my source' words,actions don't lie..They have hinted at their breakup..She totally ignored him on his birthday,instead putting up a quote..He also alluded to the fact he wants to be free and is starting over ....

Meanwhile,this is why its a bad idea to flaunt your love on social media when you are not 100% sure of ending up with that person...Everyone knows when you fight,breakup and the embarrasment of deleting photos is too much..

Hopefully,they get back together because she is the first girl Ice Prince openly claimed ..

"We are here to say we have been marginalized beyond what we can bear. We can not sit down and people come from all over the country to rule us as ministers. So we should have a minister like every other state. Also, we need a second tier government that will cater for the needs of the indigenes. Why we are here is because we don’t have our own House of Assembly. The National Assembly is our House of Assembly. It should not be. How can an Abaji resident reach Ask Rock Villa to complain. We should have a government that is closer to us, which is for the people and by the people. If our parents have endured this suffering for 39 years, we younger generation are saying no,” ” the leader of the group, Ezekiel Balatu, said

The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Abayomi Olonisakin, yesterday said the military has no report yet on the missing Chibok girls. But he added that the Nigerian troops were sustaining their battle to effectively end Boko Haram insurgency.
"

Olonisakin spoke with reporters after addressing officers of the Nigerian Navy at a one-day seminar in Abuja. He emphasised the Nigerian military’s commitment to end the Boko Haram insurgency, adding that scrutiny and interrogation of females found in various areas have not yielded much.

“So far, we don’t have any report concerning them (Chibok girls), but of course, we have some Boko Haram terrorists, who have surrendered. Among them are women and children. “We have collection point for their wives and children and we are moving them to areas where we can profile and identify them and ensure that they are not really involved in Boko Haram activities,” he said.

Below is a statement of claim from Festus Keyamo Chambers. Read below..

1. The Plaintiff is a Commissioner of Police and currently the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. The Plaintiff has had a distinguished career having joined the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission as the pioneer Director of Operations in 2003 and by dint of hard work and integrity rose to be the Chairman of the anti-graft agency.

2. The Defendant is the Proprietor and Publisher of a popular Newspaper called Daily Sun which enjoys wide circulation and readership in Nigeria and abroad.
3. The Plaintiff avers that as a function of his position, he is at the forefront of the fight against corruption in Nigeria and he has successfully investigated and prosecuted several corrupt individuals in Nigeria.
4. The Plaintiff further avers that as a result of his exceptional career, he has received several awards and commendations from organizations across the world and is recognized by international organizations as a leading light on Nigeria’s fight against corruption.
5. The Plaintiff further avers that in its Daily Sun Newspaper of Thursday, 8th October, 2015, the Defendant falsely and maliciously caused to be printed and published the following words of and concerning the Plaintiff:

“N1TRN LOOTED FUNDS LAMORDE, EFCC BOSS, IN SOUP”

6. The Plaintiff further avers that at page 6 of its Daily Sun Newspaper of Thursday, 8th October, 2015, the Defendant falsely and maliciously caused to be printed and published the following words of and concerning the Plaintiff as an elaboration of the above stated headline:
“CHAIRMAN of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Lamorde, is presently being investigated over allegations of diversion of over N1 trillion from the sale of confiscated properties belonging to convicted public officials including former governor of Bayelsa State, Diepreye Alamieyesiegha and former Inspector General of Police, Tafa Balogun, among many others.
Daily Sun gathered that the Presidency's searchlight had actually been on the EFCC following complaints and reports that EFCC operatives were notoriously letting some financial crimes suspects off the hook rather than prosecute them.
The decision to launch a full-scale investigation, however, started after one George Uboh appeared before the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions on August 23 where he alleged that Lamorde dipped his hands into the said funds.
It was gathered that after his appearance at the Senate, the Presidency picked interest in the matter and directed the Office of the National Special Adviser (NSA) to commence investigations into the allegations.
A National Assembly source said thereafter, the NSA, Major General Babagana Monguno (retd) reportedly swung into action.
"Series of complaints against Lamorde is his perceived slack supervision of his operatives. There have been series of allegations that operatives collect bribe from suspects and let them off the hook rather than investigate allegations thoroughly.
"This investigation is not a witch-hunt...It is meant to prove beyond reasonable doubt that they are no mere allegations but, they are weighty enough to warrant presidential scrutiny."
In his petition to the Senate, Uboh said the fraud allegedly perpetrated by Larmode dated back to his days as the Director of Operations of the EFCC between 2003 and 2007, as well as an acting Chairman of the commission between June 2007 and May 2008, when the then chairman of the anti-graft agency, Mr. Nuhu Ribadu, was away for a course at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, Jos.
Uboh, Chief Executive Officer of Panic Alert Security Systems, a security firm, in his petition dated July 31 accused Lamorde of some specific instances of under-remittance and non-disclosure of proceeds of corruption recovered from criminal suspects, including Balogun and Alamieyeseigha.
He assured the Senate that he would produce "overwhelming evidence" to back his claims against Lamorde.
Uboh also alleged that the EFCC had not accounted for "offshore recoveries" and that "over hall of the assets seized from suspects are not reflected in EFCC exhibit records."
The petitioner equally accused Lamorde of conspiring with some EFCC officers and external auditors ''to operate and conceal a recovery account in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and excluded the balances from your audited financial statements between 2005 and 2011."
"Lamorde continues to conceal the details of the unsold properties forfeited by both Tafa Balogun and DSP Alamieyeseigha despite receiving rent revenues from some estate agents on the said properties," he further alleged.”
7. The said words in their natural and ordinary meaning (by direct reference and innuendos) meant and were understood to mean that:

(a) The Plaintiff is a fraudulent and corrupt civil servant who engages in diversion of monies belonging to the government.
(b) The Plaintiff is a bad and corrupt leader who encourages his Operatives to collect bribes from suspects.
(c) The Plaintiff is a hypocrite whose fraudulent activities date back to 2003 when he was Director of Operations of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

8. The Plaintiff avers that the libelous publication by the Defendant was widely circulated and read by millions of people in the world and particularly in Nigeria where the Plaintiff has several associates, friends, family and professional colleagues.
9.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) led federal government has reduced governance to 'unproductive' reality show.

The party also claimed that the APC administration is completely bereft of ideas needed to effectively manage the nation, a consequence of which it said is the sudden decline in the economy, general anxiety and prevailing unhappiness and grumbling among the citizens of the country.

PDP national publicity secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, in a statement Saturday, said the unfolding events are beginning to show to Nigerians that the APC is not the desirable alternative to the PDP, but a "band of power grabbers, who swindled the electorate to get into office using false promises and propaganda."

The PDP claimed that the APC has no predisposition to change from what it described as "insincerity, ineptitude and undemocratic tendencies" it has exhibited in the last five months in government.

The erstwhile ruling party said Nigerians are witnessing what it termed "an appalling cosmetic governance, where endless drama and theatrics of the APC government have reduced governance to an unproductive reality show, which lack even the basic production quality of regular Telemundo shows."

The PDP called on all its members to close ranks and remain committed to the ongoing rebuilding effort in the party to be able to regain power at the centre in 2019, in the interest of the nation and the welfare of all citizens.

“Nigerians, going by their comments, are deeply disturbed that instead of focusing on issues that directly touch on their lives, especially given its long list of campaign promises, the APC administration has remained high on propaganda, violating the constitution for partisan capital, hounding perceived political enemies; while at the same time continuing in their trick of hoodwinking the populace, using their so-called body language theory in the attempt to appropriate achievements of the previous PDP administration.

“In the last five months under the watch of the APC, the polity has become shambolic, with official reports showing sudden decline in the economy with spiral rate of inflation, stagnation in domestic and foreign direct investments, halt in infrastructure development projects in most parts of the country, with investors scared away due to the prevailing uncertainty arising from government’s inability to articulate a precise economic policy direction.

“Even more pathetic is the fact that this government has been unable to pursue any investment in any of the critical sectors, eliciting public fears of serious economic crisis in the coming years. This is in addition to the heart-breaking fact that the APC administration, in its apparent insincerity, has been attempting to disown its list of campaign promises upon which it rode to power," the PDP said.
