Politics › Twitter Exchange Between Dr Aloy Chife And Ruona Meyer by naptu2(op): 10:28am On Aug 07, 2021
Ruona J. Meyer is the daughter of the former chairman of the editorial board of Thisday Newspapers, Godwin Agbroko. Mr Agbroko was always very critical of government and government officials and this caused the Abacha Regime to detain him several times. He was killed in the night of December 26, 2006. Two men stopped his car in traffic near Isolo and shot him dead. They did not steal his car or other valuables. His killers have never been found.

Ruona Meyer has worked for Thisday, 234Next, the BBC, etc. Her work with the BBC, titled "Sweet, Sweet Codeine", which is about drug abuse in Nigeria, was nominated for an Emmy award in 2019.

Dr Aloy Chife is a Nigerian-American businessman. He has served as a director at Enron and at Apple Inc. He has also established a string of technology companies. Dr Chife and his family are also prominent on the Nigerian Twitter space. Some of his companies, particularly Socketworks, have been responsible for the implementation of many successful systems currently operated by the Nigerian government including the Federal Road Safety Commission (National Drivers License), the Nigeria Immigration Service (e-Immigration project), the National Communications Commission (NCC) (telecomm users (Sim Card) registry) and the National Population Commission (NPopC) (National Births & Deaths Registry), etc.

Ruona Meyer is currently one of the editors at ZAM Magazine and she shared one of the investigative pieces that was published by the magazine. The piece investigates allegations of corruption in the Immigration Service and Dr Chife and Socketworks were mentioned in it. That led to the following exchange.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Community Shield: Leicester Vs Manchester City (1 - 0) - Live by naptu2(op): 9:06am On Aug 07, 2021
SAT 07 AUG 2021THE FA COMMUNITY SHIELD
Leicester City vs Manchester City
Time: 17:15
Venue: Wembley Stadium



Manchester City midfielders Kevin de Bruyne and Phil Foden will be "out for a while" because of injuries, says boss Pep Guardiola.

De Bruyne, 30, suffered ankle ligament damage at the European Championship and played with a tear in Belgium's quarter-final defeat by Italy.

Foden, 21, missed out on England's loss in the final because of a foot problem.

Record signing Jack Grealish will be on the bench for Saturday's Community Shield match against Leicester City.

On Thursday, 25-year-old Grealish became the most expensive British player of all time by moving from Aston Villa to Man City for £100m.

Guardiola said: "He [Grealish] is not ready to start at all, he was one week training alone but he'll travel with us tomorrow, to settle with the team, for meetings, and he will be on the bench and we'll see what happens.

"After we'll see what happens but from the beginning, no way."

The Premier League champions come up against FA Cup winners Leicester in the curtain-raiser to the new season, with kick-off at 17:15 BST on Saturday.

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers said it is "a fantastic game for us" and that he was "glad we are there".

The ex-Liverpool boss added: "We won the FA Cup and against a very good side. It will be a wonderful occasion. Wembley, full house and a chance to get hold of something at the end of it. Manchester City are a fantastic team."

The Foxes have injury issues in defence with Wesley Fofana, Jonny Evans, James Justin and Timothy Castagne all out.

French defender Fofana added to Rodgers' concerns after breaking his leg in a friendly against Villarreal on Wednesday and faces a significant spell out of action.

Rodgers added: "We are definitely light in the central defensive area. It is something we will have to look at for sure.

"There are people who are identified. We have a small list of players to look at so we will see."

Leicester could give debuts to summer signings Patson Daka, Boubakary Soumare and Ryan Bertrand.


Guardiola to 'play final' for Emilio Ballack

On Thursday, Emilio Ballack, the son of former Germany and Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack, died at the age of 18..

The teenager was involved in a quad-bike accident which police told Reuters took place in the early hours of Thursday morning south of Lisbon.

Guardiola said he wanted to play the final "as best as possible" and try to win the game "to dedicate it" to Michael Ballack and his family.

The former Bayern Munich boss added: "I am going to play the final of the Community Shield tomorrow thinking about the son of Michael Ballack, Emilio Ballack. He was a friend of my family, we met in Munich.

"An exceptional 18-year-old boy, incredibly well educated and unfortunately he had a terrible accident in Portugal."

Match stats

* This will be just the second meeting between Leicester and Manchester City at Wembley, with the Citizens winning the 1969 FA Cup final 1-0 in the other.

*Leicester have won just two of their 20 meetings with Man City outside of league competition (D7 L11), winning 3-0 in January 1920 and 4-3 in February 1968 (both FA Cup).

Leicester

*Leicester have won their last two matches played at Wembley Stadium, just one fewer than they'd managed in their first 14 games at the venue (W3 D1 L10).

*This is Leicester's third appearance in the Community Shield, beating Liverpool 1-0 in 1971 and losing 2-1 against Manchester United in 2016.

*Jamie Vardy has scored half of Leicester's eight goals at the 'new' Wembley Stadium. However, he's been on the losing side in all three games in which he's found the net at Wembley for the Foxes.

*Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers is set to be the first British manager to take charge of a side in the Community Shield since David Moyes' Manchester United beat Wigan 2-0 in 2013.

Man City

*Man City have won the Community Shield in three of their last four appearances in the match, as many as they had in their previous eight (W3 L5).

*Excluding 2019 (when Manchester City appeared as double winners), the FA Cup winners have won the Community Shield in five of the last six campaigns, with the exception being Man City's 2-0 win over Chelsea in 2018.

*Man City have lost just two of their last 12 games at Wembley (W8 D2), with both defeats coming in consecutive FA Cup semi-final appearances (2020 vs Arsenal, 2021 vs Chelsea).

Phones › Apple To Scan Iphones For Child Sex Abuse Images by naptu2(op): 3:16pm On Aug 06, 2021
Apple to scan iPhones for child sex abuse images

By James Clayton
North America technology reporter
6 August 2021


Apple has announced details of a system to find child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on US customers' devices.

Before an image is stored onto iCloud Photos, the technology will search for matches of already known CSAM.

Apple said that if a match is found a human reviewer will then assess and report the user to law enforcement.

However there are privacy concerns that the technology could be expanded to scan phones for prohibited content or even political speech.


Experts worry that the technology could be used by authoritarian governments to spy on its citizens.

Apple said that new versions of iOS and iPadOS - due to be released later this year - will have "new applications of cryptography to help limit the spread of CSAM online, while designing for user privacy".

The system works by comparing pictures to a database of known child sexual abuse images compiled by the US National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and other child safety organisations.

Those images are translated into "hashes", numerical codes that can be "matched" to an image on an Apple device.

Apple says the technology will also catch edited but similar versions of original images.


'High level of accuracy'

"Before an image is stored in iCloud Photos, an on-device matching process is performed for that image against the known CSAM hashes," Apple said.

The company claimed the system had an "extremely high level of accuracy and ensures less than a one in one trillion chance per year of incorrectly flagging a given account".

Apple says that it will manually review each report to confirm there is a match. It can then take steps to disable a user's account and report to law enforcement.

The company says that the new technology offers "significant" privacy benefits over existing techniques - as Apple only learns about users' photos if they have a collection of known CSAM in their iCloud Photos account.

However some privacy experts have voiced concerns.

"Regardless of what Apple's long term plans are, they've sent a very clear signal. In their (very influential) opinion, it is safe to build systems that scan users' phones for prohibited content," Matthew Green, a security researcher at Johns Hopkins University, said.

"Whether they turn out to be right or wrong on that point hardly matters. This will break the dam — governments will demand it from everyone."

GeneralDae:
Just one victory and we nor go hear word again. In both matches, Hasaccas didn't play that well. Rivers Angels had the better chances in both games but they lacked a keeper who could hold on to high balls and that was the source of all three goals.
In the first game, Hasaccas tried to play man to man by leaving the ball on the ground and they lost. In the final, their tactic was to play high balls and long range shots. Against a team with a good keeper, that tactic is actually useless.
Petrodolla is an old friend of Nairaland. His main purpose for being here is to attack anything Nigerian and to proclaim that Ghana is better. His favourite word is "fuellish".

He has been away from Nairaland for a few years, but obviously he has come back to celebrate the victory of his Ghanaian team. grin


(P.s. his name came from the fact that crude oil was discovered in Ghana and he believes that Ghana will manage the petroleum resources better than the "fuellish" Nigerians).

naptu2:
This is the source of the dispute.

Ibrahim Gusau was the president of the AFN. However, some members of the board said that they had impeached him. Gusau insisted that he had not been impeached.

The members that claimed that they had impeached Gusau held an election in Abuja. This election was backed by the Sports Ministry and the Delta State Sports Commission Chairman, Tonobok Okowa, was elected president of the AFN. Meanwhile, the Gusau faction also held an election in Birnin Kebbi and Gusau was re-elected president in that election.

The Gusau faction of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria signed a sponsorship deal with Puma at the 2019 World Championship in Doha, Qatar. This deal is one of the major reasons for the impeachment and dispute.

The Okowa Faction of the AFN, along with the Sports Ministry, claimed that the details of the sponsorship contract were not made public. They also accused the Gusau led faction of corruption. They said that the faction deposited the money from the sponsorship deal in a private account.

The Sports Ministry petitioned the DSS to investigate the Gusau faction and Ibrahim Gusau was invited to see the DSS. However, the DSS later wrote a letter to the Sports Ministry in which it said that it found no evidence of corruption. The DSS advised the Sports Ministry and the AFN to settle the matter in-house.

Ibrahim Gusau admitted that the money from Puma was paid into a private bank account, but he said that was because the AFN has no bank account in its name and he denied that the money from Puma was stolen.

https://www.sunnewsonline.com/gusau-why-afn-puma-money-was-paid-into-a-private-account/


Meanwhile, lovers of athletics have been trying to get World Athletics to come out and state which faction is the legitimate faction, but the world governing body has failed to do so. They simply removed the name of Gusau and his secretary general from their website, but they did not state who is the president and secretary general of AFN and the crisis keeps dragging on.

https://www.completesports.com/world-athletics-rejects-gusau-removes-his-name-from-afn-profile-page/
The problem emerged because the board members that impeached Gusau said that they were not aware of the details of the contract with Puma and that Gusau signed the deal alone for his selfish interests. The Gusau faction say this is a lie and that the AFN had signed a deal with a sports marketing company to get sponsors for them and that the Puma deal was a result of the efforts of the sports marketing company.

KosiGee:
This is a big dent on Nigeria’s image. Both factions should’ve settled this problem last year and focus on sports development.

One question…what happened to the kits supplied? Did AFA sports kits company not supply the athletes with enough kits?
That is the big question.

The athletes wore AFA kits at the Olympics, but I don't know if the company supplied enough kits.


According to Ibrahim Gusau, this crisis is the reason that ten of our athletes were excluded from the Olympics.

The ten athletes were excluded because they had not been tested in the way that was prescribed by the Athletics Integrity Unit. The home based athletes were tested, the elite foreign based athletes were tested, but these athletes that are based in universities in the US were not tested.

The athletes said that they were asked to send their names and addresses to the AFN and they did so (I'm not sure which faction they sent it to), but they were not tested.

The Okowa faction of the AFN accepted responsibility for the problem. They said it was an internal issue within the federation that caused the mistake and that they had appointed a professor to oversee their drug testing processes from now on.

However, the Gusau faction rejected the statement by the Okowa faction. They said that the National Anti-Doping Committee (which is in charge of drug testing in Nigeria) released names of athletes that it was going to test. The Gusau faction said it noticed that these ten athletes' names were not on the list and so it sent the ten names to the Sports Ministry, so it is not their fault that the ten athletes were not tested. (I don't know if what they said is true)

The Sports Ministry and the Okowa Faction do not recognise the Puma contract and they ordered the athletes to wear AFA kits at the Olympics. AFA is a Nigerian sports kit company that has a deal with the Nigerian Olympic Committee. Puma has now sued the AFN because Nigerian athletes wore AFA kits at the Olympics instead of Puma.

There are two factions in the AFN.

One faction signed the deal with Puma and the other faction is denying that there's any deal.


The reason that the athletes did not wear the Puma outfits is because the Sports Ministry accused the faction that signed the deal with Puma of corruption. They said that the money from Puma was paid into a private account.

However, the DSS and other security agencies investigated that faction and said that they did not find any evidence of corruption.

PDP: Atiku calls for calm, urges reconciliation process be given a chance

Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar has called on PDP leaders to unite for the sake of the party's interest and the country.

Reacting to the current frictions in the PDP, Atiku said the party cannot afford to be divided at this critical point in time when Nigerians are desperately yearning for change in the face of their miserable living conditions.

According to Atiku, an opposition that is looked up to as an alternative cannot afford to be fighting itself and lend its hands to the ruling party for its own destruction.

He urged the party's faithful to understand that the price of having a fragmented PDP is too high to pay, but above all, a betrayal to the memories of the founding fathers of the party.

The former Vice President dismissed insinuations that he was fuelling the crisis in the party.

He explained that he was lately involved in reconciliation efforts within the party across the country and has backed reconciliation processes aimed at diffusing tensions in the party.

He called for calm and for combatants to sheath their swords and give the reconciliation mechanisms of the party a chance.

He noted that the interest of the PDP far supercedes that of any individual, insisting that the party will overcome its current travails for as long as all hands are on deck.

"The PDP is greater than our individual ambitions. We have to consolidate the party first before we talk about our ambitions. We have to be careful not to play into the hands of the ruling party...

We can't afford a one-party system in Nigeria that denies our people a viable alternative for true change in 2023", the former Vice President said.

The former PDP pres. candidate warned that lack of unity & internal cohesion could help d ruling party more than the PDP, & that "those who want Nigerians to continue with the current hardship in the land will be eager to fuel the crisis in the PDP for their political advantage."

He added that PDP leaders should put personal differences aside and work for the good of the party, adding that "divided soldiers cannot fight a war and win."

To ensure that the PDP does not repeat the mistakes of the past, Atiku Abubakar said that all contending issues in the party must be resolved through constitutional means.
