Am sure even Federal government does not have this. Lagos State is the only viable State in Nigeria.

Not only that we didn't gain anything, we wasted money in them paying salaries to workers not producing and countless rounds of rehabilitations and turn around maintenances. Imagine what the $1.5B will do to other aspects of our economy

What Sheikh Mahmud Jafar Adam said was not a prophesy. It was a warning. Those who think it was a prophesy are people who think Boko Haram was created in 2010.


Mohammed Yusuf, the founder of Boko Haram, was once a follower of Sheikh Adam (before he broke away). Yusuf created Boko Haram as far back as 2002. He had already been arrested by the DSS in 2006. Sheikh Adam knew the danger that Yusuf posed and that's why he said what he said. It was a warning, not a prophesy.


Boko Haram assasinated Sheikh Jafar Mahmud Adam in 2007 (2 years before the 2009 uprising).

Part of the problem here is that there are a lot of Nigerians that do not know much about this issue and they have done what many Nigerians usually do when they don't know much about an issue. They have tried to cover up their ignorance with assumptions.


Many times, instead of seeking knowledge and being led by facts, a lot of people make up assumptions in their heads and then try to pass them off as facts.


If I have the time I will deal with all of these today.


One person ignorantly claimed that Boko Haram is a wholly home grown terrorist group. He is obviously ignorant of the contributions of Mauritania to Boko Haram in 2006 (the training camps that created the armed wing in 2005/2006).


Some say that Boko Haram was formed or has the support of northern elders, imams and emirs. They obviously do not know what happened to Sheikh Mahmud Jafar Adam (the famous preacher) c2006.


Some ignorant people believe that Boko Haram was created in 2010 to oppose President Goodluck Jonathan. They do not know that Boko Haram was founded in 2002.


Some say that Boko Haram has the support of the Emirs, Sultan, Buhari, Atiku, Babangida and so many other northern leaders. They obviously never heard the late Mohammed Yusuf speak and they do not know why he founded Boko Haram.



There is so much ignorance and politicians have exploited this ignorance for their own selfish ends.

I would have given them away!
The condition would have been you produced at least half of the name plate capacities throughout the year or pay penalties.

Teen 'mastermind' pleads guilty to celeb Twitter hack

17 March 2021

Graham Ivan Clark was arrested on 30 charges

A US teenager has pleaded guilty to hacking several high-profile Twitter accounts in a large-scale Bitcoin scam.

Graham Ivan Clark was 17 when he co-ordinated the scam - which hijacked the profiles of celebrities, including Kim Kardashian West, Kanye West, Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Barack Obama.

He would spend three years in prison as part of his plea deal, a Florida court filing said.

But Clark has already served 229 days of this three-year sentence.

Now 18, but sentenced as a "youthful offender", he may also be able to serve some of the sentence at a boot camp, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

But Clark will also be banned from using computers without permission and supervision from law enforcement.

The scam

The hack, on 15 July last year, promoted a scam in which hijacked celebrity accounts encouraged followers to donate bitcoin to coronavirus-relief projects.

"Everyone is asking me to give back," a tweet purportedly sent from Mr Gates's account said. "You send $1,000, I send you back $2,000."

More than $117,000 (£84,200) of the cryptocurrency was collected through the scam.

The money had been handed to the authorities to be returned to the victims, Clark's lawyer said.

Technology companies Apple and Uber were also hacked

It was alleged Clark had imitated a member of Twitter staff to gain access to the company's networks and worked with two other hackers to complete the heist.

Nima Fazeli, 22, of Orlando, and Mason Sheppard, 19, of Bognor Regis, have been charged with federal crimes.

The family of Mr Sheppard have declined to comment and the Home Office said it "does not comment on extradition requests".
