Never say never

Our leaders sha!!!

All those monikers using this boko haram insurgency to score cheap political point should know that in war there is no pdp or apc, muslims or christians, rich or poor and so on but there is one thing casualty of war, and it can be anyone or anything. The earlier we come together as one to support, encourage and speak out for our armed forces the better for us all because they are all we got left.

Internal democracy, this is what APC lacks all they do is selection by one man that wears glasses

Only the wicked runneth when no man pursueth. That is to say, i got nothing to worry about

Hope this one would last, my only concern is the master card part. If master card are in charge of the DBMS. Dont our leaders know that in world politics today these are sensitive datas, giving it to a foreigner its always a bad idea

The Bring Back Our Girls, BBOG, campaign group has claimed that the Boko Haram has up to 50,000 members in its camp some of whom are desperate to die.

The BBOG group which disclosed this in Abuja, yesterday, claimed it was quoting Mr. Ahmad Salkida, a Nigerian journalist said to be close to Boko Haram.

‘‘According to Mr. Ahmad Salkida, Boko Haram has up to 50,000 people in their camps, most of them are sad and willing to die–as suicide bombers. If we’re not mindful our selfishness in not standing up now will consume us all. For these reasons and others, our advocacy must continue; we must continue telling the truth and demanding for it to be told,’’ the BBOG said.

The group urged good-spirited members of the public to join the advocacy which it said must continue until the abducted girls were returned unharmed.

“We must continue telling the truth and demanding for it to be told,’’ the group added.

It called on the federal government to double its effort in tackling terrorism before it gets out of hands and plunge the country into unprecedented famine.

The group also raised the alarm that Nigeria stands the risk of facing food scarcity, especially beans, which Chibok is the highest producer in the country and called for urgent measures to avert the imminent danger.

‘‘Chibok for instance is the highest producer of beans in the nation; the north-east the largest producer of livestock and other produce, but due to the insurgency, there has been no farming; in due course there would be food scarcity across the nation,’’ the group said.

GENEVA (AP) — The Ebola outbreak in West Africa eventually could exceed 20,000 cases, more than six times as many as doctors know about now, the World Health Organization said Thursday.
A new plan to stop Ebola by the U.N. health agency also assumes that in many hard-hit areas, the actual number of cases may be two to four times higher than is currently reported.
The agency published new figures saying that 1,552 people have died from the killer virus from among the 3,069 cases reported so far in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria. At least 40 percent of the cases have been in just the last three weeks, the U.N. health agency said, adding that “the outbreak continues to accelerate.”
In Geneva, the agency also released a new plan for handling the Ebola crisis that aims to stop Ebola transmission in affected countries within six to nine months and prevent it from spreading internationally.
Dr. Bruce Aylward, WHO’s assistant director-general, told reporters the plan would cost $489 million over the next nine months and require the assistance of 750 international workers and 12,000 national workers.
The 20,000 figure, he added, “is a scale that I think has not ever been anticipated in terms of an Ebola outbreak.”
“That’s not saying we expect 20,000,” he added. “But we have got to have a system in place that we can deal with robust numbers.”
Aylward said the far-higher caseload is believed to come from cities.
“It’s really just some urban areas that have outstripped the reporting capacity,” he said.
Aylward also said the agency is urging airlines to lift most of their restrictions about flying to Ebola-hit nations because a predictable “air link” is needed to help deal with the crisis. Air France on Wednesday cancelled its flights to Sierra Leone. Aylward said the agency hopes airlines will lift most restrictions within two weeks.
Nigerian authorities, meanwhile, said a man who contracted Ebola after coming into contact with a traveler from Liberia had evaded their surveillance efforts and infected a doctor in southern Nigeria who later died.
The announcement of a sixth death in Nigeria marked the first fatality outside the commercial capital of Lagos, where a Liberian-American man Patrick Sawyer arrived in late July and later died of Ebola. On Wednesday, Nigerian authorities had said they not yet eliminated the disease from Africa’s most populous nation but that it was being contained.
The doctor’s wife is also in isolation now after she starting showing symptoms of Ebola, Nigerian Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu added. Morticians who embalmed the doctor are part of a group of 70 people now under surveillance in Port Harcourt.

National Institute of Health announces human trials for Ebola vaccine
.
An experimental Ebola vaccine will soon enter phase one of a clinical trial on humans, the National Institute of Health said Thursday.
Initial testing will take place at the NIH’s Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, while the NIH is in the process of working out tests in Ebola-stricken West Africa. The vaccine was developed by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) along with top pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline. The NIH will soon launch other phase one trials of this vaccine as well as another developed by Canada’s Public Health Agency.
The NIAID/GSK vaccine will be tested in a small number of healthy adults who do not have the Ebola virus to see if their bodies create an immune response. The vaccine has already been successfully tested on monkeys.
Here’s how the vaccine works: When a study participant receives the vaccine, one part of the Ebola virus’ genetic material will be delivered to the participants’ cells–but the gene will not replicate. Instead, the cells of the participant will start to express an Ebola protein that will, hopefully, spur an immune response in the participant.
“It is important to know that the Ebola genetic material contained in the investigational vaccine cannot cause a vaccinated individual to become infected with Ebola,” the NIH statement reads. The NIH says simultaneous trials of the NIAID/GSK vaccine and other experimental vaccines will roll out in September.
Testing procedures for experimental Ebola vaccines have been expedited in the wake of the ongoing outbreak in West Africa, which has led to more than a thousand deaths so far. Currently, there is no vaccine or cure for the Ebola virus, though it is survivable with proper treatment.

Making sense

The parents just discoverd that the kid has learnt all that she needs to be thaught and whats left is how to use a gun. Shame on those that made laws to allowe this rubbish and also on the parents

A nine year-old girl in the US has killed her shooting instructor by accident while being shown how to use a high-powered submachine gun.

The instructor was giving the girl a lesson at a shooting range in Arizona when the recoil from the automatic fire caused her to lose control of the Uzi.

Charles Vacca, 39, was shot in the head and died after being airlifted to a hospital in Las Vegas.

The girl was at the shooting range with her parents, who filmed the lesson.

The footage shows the instructor coaching her as she fires a single shot at a target at the Last Stop shooting range in White Hills, Arizona.

The Uzi then appears to be switched to automatic as the girl pulls the trigger and loses her grip of the weapon.

The video, edited and released by the Mojave County Sheriff's office, ends abruptly before the instructor is shot.

The website of the shooting range, called Bullets and Burgers, says children aged eight and older can shoot a weapon if they are accompanied by a parent.

Range operator Sam Scarmardo told Klas TV that they had never had an incident in the 12 years it has been open.

"We really don't know what happened. Our guys are trained to basically hover over people when they're shooting," he said.

"If they're shooting right-handed, we have our right-hand behind them ready to push the weapon out of the way. And if they're left-handed, the same thing."

Correspondents say it is common in parts of the US for children to be taught how to use firearms.

Many firing ranges have strict safety rules on instructing children.

Facts emerged on Tuesday that electronic fraudsters had been duplicating Automated Teller Machine cards belonging to Nigerian bank customers and using them to buy items worth millions of dollars from shopping malls in the United States.
Top officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria told our correspondent that the development had made Nigerian banks and their customers to be losing millions of naira to the e-fraud.
The development, it was learnt, had become so overwhelming and that top executives of the banks and senior officials of the CBN had to meet with a team of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission operatives led by the director of operations in Abuja on Tuesday.
According to sources close to the meeting, the banks are seeking the assistance of the anti-graft agency to help in arresting some of the fraudsters who are using the duplicated ATM cards in the US.
From the outcome of the meeting, the EFCC is set to collaborate with a sister agency in the US in order to effect the arrest of some of the electronic fraudsters.
The source disclosed, “Banks have been losing a lot of money to electronic fraudster cartels who are using customers’ ATM cards to fraudulently buy items across shopping malls in the US.
“Normally, customers should bear the loss but because banks don’t want the issue to come to the public so that the use of ATM cards will not be discouraged, they settle those customers by paying the money.”
Asked how the Nigerian ATM cards are being duplicated and used in the US, a source close to the development explained, “In Nigeria, we use chip and PIN, but the US still uses magnetic stripe. So, what those fraudsters do is to get the details of a customers’ ATM card, duplicate it and then go to shopping malls and start using it to buy items.
“When they are using the PoS in US shopping malls, all they do is to swipe the card and then payment is made. They don’t need to put any PIN. Through these, items are bought using Nigerian ATM cards.”
An EFCC source, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, confirmed the meeting and noted the anti-graft agency was set to work with the US government to arrest the fraudsters.
A top official in one of the top banks said the incidence of electronic frauds had been on the increase and the development was a source of worry to bank executives.
It was learnt that most of the frauds were being perpetrated in connivance with some bank officials.
The official recalled that prior to 2010 when Nigerian banks were still using magnetic stripe for ATM cards; the issue of using Nigerian ATM cards fraudulently abroad was prevalent.
However, when the banking sector migrated to the chip and PIN system, the problem stopped.
“However, the frauds have started again now in a new form of Nigerian ATM cards being duplicated and used abroad. The incidence is becoming very high now and something has to be done urgently to arrest the trend,” the banker added.
Analysts have said that the increasing incidence of electronic frauds may affect the growth of the cash-less Nigeria initiative.
The Deputy Governor, Corporate Services, CBN, Mr. Adebayo Adelabu, recently said at a conference that the incidence of fraud involving bank officials had been on the increase.
Adelabu, who is a former Executive Director of First Bank of Nigeria, linked the increasing frauds in the banking sector to several issues, including the banks’ poor recruitment procedures and failure to prosecute workers involved in fraudulent activities for fear of reputational risk.
The Chairman, Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria, Lagos branch, Mr. Abolade Agbola, linked the high incidence of electronic frauds to lack of integrity and poor staff conditions in the banking sector.
“When you see the fraud that happens and the trillions of transactions that take place daily, then I think the banks have to take the technology ahead, take the staffing ahead and then create a future for the members of staff so that they can know that they have a future in the organisations and that they can build a future,” he said.
