Lies

Confused ass licker

ChiefS:
Enough of this propaganda. Lagos is highly underdeveloped in relation to the resources at its disposal. With the plethora of slums and bad roads, lack of potable water, refuse, poor traffic management, unemployment, etc.

Such as.....

Ekiti, Osun, Kogi......

Iyamu please continue your haphazard campaign with your head dangling from Oshiomole's anus. You lack substance and ain't creative in any way. A pity you remain a pawn

Una papa

This is but a taste of what lies in stock for the South West.

I think Nigeria government and its NIMC agents are scam.


I registered since 6 or 7 years ago at NIMC office, Alausa, and was given a temporary card, since then, I've not heard from them for my permanent ID card

My disheartening story;
I saw the info here on Nairaland. After downloading the app as expected and imputed my asisigned NIN number and phone number I used to register, and after a long wait for update, it upload the digital ID of Abdulai abubakar, while my own name is Ogunyemi Adekunle...Alas, I assume it's still a mistake.

But if I find out they've truly sold my NIN to another person, then, I give up on Nigeria patapata

And so..........!!!!!
Are you not happy you've been adopted by your northern slave masters.
Smile, tidings of joy are yours as you continue to serve
Calm down, learn how to beg and prostrate before Darwin's theory of natural selection comes knocking

yanabasee1:
We have this in the north and in the south as well....



Igbos should relax abeg..... Nothing so special about this....

I bet your crude expertise is the mining that originates from Ogun

Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof Akin Abayomi, has said that the government spends up to N1m daily on each COVID-19 patient in critical condition.

Speaking at a press briefing on Thursday, Abayomi said the state may experience the peak of Coronavirus by August.

According to him, the government spends averagely about N100,000 daily to treat a mild patient while it costs about N500,000 to N1,000,000 to treat a patient with a serious case.

He said, “To treat mild to moderate case patients in our isolation centre is somewhere in the region of N100,000 per day.

“That gives you an idea of the amount of money the government is spending on COVID-19 isolation facilities and COVID-19 care.

“If you require high care or intensive care, that amount can go up to anything from N500,000 to even a million naira per day, depending on the complications of the case.

“Do you need ventilation, dialysis, intravenous antibiotics; every case is different, so it is difficult to calculate exactly how much a patient in high care or intensive care would cost.”

According to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, Lagos currently has 13,806 confirmed cases of the deadly virus.

Apparently sensing that the Presidency may keep him in detention indefinitely until he answers allegations made against him by the Attorney-General, embattled Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, may go on hunger strike.
Vanguard gathered, on Thursday, that some politicians and other wealthy Nigerians and foreigners, who alleged that they were duped by Magu and some operatives of the EFCC, are said to have started forwarding petitions on how they were coerced to part with huge sums of money and property under the guise of recovering ill-gotten wealth.

Magu, still being interrogated by the Justice Ayo Salami-led Presidential panel along with seven of his aides, reportedly got into trouble after information got to the Presidency about some of his dealings both in and outside the country.

The informants, according to sources, gave detailed information that prompted a shocked Presidency to immediately order his arrest, while the presidential panel was set up.

According to sources, people in rarefied circles of power, in and outside the country put together the details and delivered to the Presidency, prompting his arrest.

A Presidency source, Thursday night, said that Magu may not be released from detention until he responds satisfactorily to all allegations against him.

The source told Vanguard: “You are aware that they (detectives) have searched his house. Detectives that carried out the search combed his house. It was after the search that they arrested seven of his aides as part of the probe.

“Justice Salami is simply carrying out stern instructions from the Presidency over the issue of Magu and it was after he discovered that it will be virtually impossible to grant him bail that Magu started threatening to go on hunger strike, with a view to drawing public sympathy.

“However, it was learned that when the Presidency got information about his plans to go on strike, in insisted that the embattled EFCC acting chairman will not be released until he returns all the money he was accused of misappropriating.”

‘Billionaire Gucci Master’ Detained By FBI Over Alleged $124 Million Premier League Fraud

An English Premier League football club has become embroiled in a criminal complaint brought against self-proclaimed ‘Billionaire Gucci Master’ Ramon Abbas, a Nigerian influencer with over 2.5 million followers on Instagram. (Forbes does not currently include Abbas on our list of the World’s Billionaires.)

Abbas, also known as hushpuppi, has built a global following from posting pictures of his lavish spending on cars, watches, designer clothes, and private jets. His lifestyle has made him a popular figure on a variety of social media platforms including Snapchat and Instagram. Abbas’ lawyer tells Forbes that his client is “an entrepreneur” who made his money legitimately through “real estate” and his work “promoting brands” as an “Instagram personality.”
Abbas’ wealth and fame has also seen him rub shoulders with the new-monied elite. The influencer is seen on Instagram with Chelsea’s Premier League and England star Tammy Abraham, and Aston Villa’s England U-21 star Ezri Konsa — both players signed shirts for Abbas, “To my big bro” posted in February this year.

However, Abbas’s life of luxury was put on hold in late June after the 37-year-old was arrested in Dubai, UAE, and arrived in the U.S. on Friday July 3 to face criminal charges over allegations he has made “hundreds of millions of dollars” from business email compromise frauds and other scams.

The FBI’s affidavit alleges that Abbas “conspired to launder funds stolen in a $14.7 million cyber-heist from a foreign financial institution.” The date and amount mentioned in the affidavit matches that of the attack on Malta’s Bank of Valletta in February 2019. The attack was of such seriousness in Malta that Prime Minister Joseph Muscat was forced to address parliament over what the Times of Malta described as the “creation of false international payments that saw €13 million transferred to banks in four countries.” The amounts were the amounts reportedly “traced” and “reversed” and none of the bank’s customers lost their money. The U.S. Department of Justice did not name Bank of Valletta in the affidavit and says it is unable to give further details. The Bank of Valletta has not responded to emails from Forbes.

The FBI also alleges a New York-based law firm was defrauded out of approximately $922,800 through a combination of computer hacking and social engineering to gain access to a business’ email account, send fraudulent emails to receive an unauthorized wire transfer of money. Abbas is accused of laundering $396,050 of the funds alongside two co-conspirators, one of whom was in Los Angeles at the time.

But perhaps most notably, Abbas is accused of a “scheme to steal” $124 million from an English Premier League soccer club in May 2019. The U.S. Department of Justice is at this time unable to confirm further details of the club in question. However, at $124 million the sum on the affidavit is larger than any single player transfer ever paid by any team in the league, and details are scant on how exactly a figure of such size could be obtained through the methods cited in the affidavit.

A Life Of Less Luxury
According to the Bureau of Prisons website, Abbas is currently being held in MCC Chicago pending a bail hearing. The police press statement following his arrest states that if convicted of conspiracy to engage in money laundering, Abbas would face a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison. A hearing in Chicago on Monday will determine if Abbas will be detained pending trial.

Mr Abbas’s legal representative, Gal Pissetzky of Pissetzky & Berliner, told Forbes that his client is “Absolutely not guilty of [the] charges they are accusing him of,” adding, “[Abbas] was running a legitimate business and a very legitimate Instagram account and did not take part in any scam or fraud.”

Asked how Abbas paid for his lifestyle, Pissetzky tells Forbes, “He's an entrepreneur. He has real estate involvement ... [he's] an Instagram personality. He was promoting brands and that's how he was very legitimately making his money.”

On his relationship with Premier League footballers Tammy Abraham and Ezri Konsa, his lawyer says, “Mr Abbas is friends with a lot of people. Somebody who has that many followers – obviously he knows and has friends in a lot of places ... it's all legitimate.”

How It Works
The FBI eventually caught up with Abbas after a federal search warrant accessed data and conversations concerning the alleged laundering on an accused coconspirator’s iPhone. The FBI linked the conversations with a phone number for the contact name “Hush,” to Snapchat user “hushpuppi5,” which listed the Snapchat contact name “The Billionaire Gucci Master!!!” the name used by Abbas on Instagram until last year, according to a report in the Times of London following his arrest in late June.

Abbas is in hot water over his alleged ability to find bank accounts within which large sums of money can be placed without setting off alerts to the authorities. He is not accused of hacking, but rather, according to the affidavit, providing “bank accounts” that Abbas “anticipated would each receive ... the fraudulently obtained funds.”

The FBI allege that the conspiracy was to “launder ... tens, and at times hundreds, of millions of dollars that were proceeds of other fraudulent schemes and computer intrusions.”
Abbas is accused in the affidavit of sending alleged “co-conspirators” bank account information for accounts in Romania, Bulgaria, Mexico and Dubai. In one message exchange collected from a co-conspirator’s phone, Abbas allegedly complains about the cost of opening these bank accounts which the FBI allege are called “houses” throughout the exchange. “Bro I can’t keep collecting houses n not give them a feed back n keep asking for more ... This things cost a lot of money now to open.”

Expert Comments
Samantha J Sheen of Ex Ante advisory, a specialist on money laundering flows, tells Forbes that the examples named in the affidavit are “very very clever” by “standing in the universe of legitimate business” they can bypass many hurdles and “simply borrow the skin of the business to redirect funds” at the closure of a transaction or settlement. She adds that for the kinds of firms targeted the movement of the sums mentioned “would not have looked unusual.”

However, addressing the rather staggering attempt to defraud a Premier League Football club of $124 million, Sheen says the attempt really is an anomaly. “I think they got a little overly ambitious and greedy on that one,” she adds, “That amount is huge.” With very few player transfer fees approaching that size, the sum is an anomaly even for the 20 hyper wealthy Premier League clubs. Sheen adds, “I just looked at that and thought, 'you got to be dreaming buddy if you thought you were going to pull that one off’.”

Group of six rare Cross River gorillas caught on camera in Nigeria
Conservationists hope first known camera-trap images of species are sign of resurgence.
Rare images of a group belonging to one of the most endangered gorilla subspecies in the world suggest their numbers could be recovering after decades of persecution, conservationists in Nigeria have said.

A group of six Cross River gorillas including infants of varying ages can be seen in the first known camera-trap images of the species, taken in the Mbe mountains in south-east Nigeria by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).

The gorillas are rarely seen and are thought to be extremely wary of humans following a long history of persecution. They often reside in the deepest, most inaccessible pockets of terrain.

Once thought to be extinct after decades of aggressive poaching, the gorillas were rediscovered in the 1980s. Conservationists believe there are about 100 gorillas in Nigeria and and another 300 inhabiting a 4,600 sq mile (12,000 sq km) mountainous forest expanse stretching over the border into Cameroon.The images of the gorillas are the clearest sign of the species’ gradual resurgence, said Inaoyom Imong, director of WCS Nigeria’s Cross River Gorilla Landscape project.

“It is extremely exciting to see so many young Cross River gorillas – an encouraging indication that these gorillas are now well protected and reproducing successfully after previous decades of hunting,” he said.Although the images have buoyed conservationists, Imong said better protections for the gorillas were still needed. “While hunters in the region may no longer target gorillas, the threat of hunting remains, and we need to continue to improve the effectiveness of our protection efforts.”A team of 16 guards from surrounding local communities, supported by the WCS, conduct daily patrols of the sanctuary to protect gorillas and other wildlife. Conservationists monitored the gorillas’ activity by identifying their nests, dung and feeding trails. There have been only a handful of sightings in the last decade.

Otu Bernard Eban, the head of the local Abo clan, said poverty a lack of awareness had heightened the threats to several engaged species in a region rich in biodiversity. “Seeing this today rekindles my hope,” he said.

He urged authorities to “further strengthen our local laws to protect Cross River gorillas in the Mbe mountains”.
