₦airaland Forum

Most persons on this forum read to crticize and not to understand.The caption is'travellers' which might include us,inlaws,fathers,mothers,politicians,business moguls etc.So how does GEJ come in here? Infact it also shows the vibrancy of the economy then unlike now that un orthodox methods are being applied to restrict funds avaliable for foriegn travellers.

Splashme:
This is not an indictment on GEJ.
I know the propagandist APC will attempt to reframe his comment to suit their mischievious intentions

Lamorde is only trying to praise EFCC under him for some achievements from 2012 down the line

Read to understand and not to criticize.He said travellers which might include your father,ur inlaws,business people,politicians,students and even the current APC bigwigs.Do you restrict people not to travel with money?Use your brain.

banito1:
Ah such amount of money taken out under your watch is a testament to your failure

If appointments have been made by the president I do not think his name would be involved with all these trivial routine act of governance.We can see the effect in terms of number of rebutals these days.A perm sec or HoD can give this directive.The press should be carefull with the way they use the president name.

zomoears:
Read d article over again n it says d guy was lodging in a hotel. Don't see anything wrong with his question.

A deputy governor of another state should have been properly housed by d host state. Except he was there in his private capacity.

Aregbeshoala and his agents fighting dirty.We know and we understand this trend.Its in the character of the propaganda people.The stupid woman should go to court if she has a point to proof and not to write baseless petition.

Did you read the article?This is the bane we have with youths of these days.They are so lazy to read or think for themselve.They want every thing fast.And its telling on a lot of comments here.Read,think and learn before you comment.

idolda:
Interesting! What was he doing in an hotel? Is hotel the official residence of government officials in Borno State?

See how the pro APC paper PUNCH presented this news because GEJ is no longer the president.You can imagine the uproar this same act generated prior to APc taking over gov.Now it is good.Only targetted at terrorist etc.We all know the mischief and falsehood written about thie project earlier.

wapSmart:
The Federal Government has been monitoring the social media accounts of Nigerians who are suspected of having links with various terrorist groups, including Boko Haram and the Islamic State of Syria and Iraq, findings bySUNDAY PUNCHhave shown.

Our correspondent learnt that through covert operations, which have been going on for a while, security agencies hack into the Facebook and Twitter accounts of those they are monitoring.
The move, it was learnt, was meant to frustrate terrorist attacks on the country.

The project, which is costing the country millions of dollars, is being managed by the Office of the National Security Adviser.
Multiple sources, who spoke to our correspondent on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to inform the press about the security checks, stated that the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan approved the request by security agencies to spy on targeted sections of the population, mainly religious extremists and radicalised individuals.

It was gathered that the project is being coordinated by some foreign firms, including an Israeli firm, Elbit System.

Our correspondent learnt that the local espionage involves hacking of phones, email accounts, social media accounts and bugging of telephone conversations of persons of interest.

A source said, “The surveillance system is not being used to target everyone, as people may want to believe. It is only deployed to get intelligence on specific targets because it would be hard and difficult to use such system to spy on all Nigerians; the amount of data would be too huge and staggering for the assessors to sort and manage.

“Basically, the system is used to hack into emails and phones of targets, and the targets are those who are suspected of having ties with terrorists, whether Boko Haram, ISIS or any other criminal element.”

It was also learnt that the system had greatly assisted security agencies to nip in the bud and also frustrate many terror plots and attacks across the country.
The security agencies had been using electronic trackers, which they were used to track and apprehend kidnappers.

But it was learnt that the electronic surveillance system is more effective and has better capacities to hack emails, passwords and social media accounts used by terrorists to recruit members.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu, confirmed that security agencies were using a sophisticated surveillance system as part of measures to combat crime and terrorism in the country.

He said, “It is not a new technology. Everywhere in the world, it is used, including drones and other sophisticated equipment. Nigeria is part of the international community; we have our surveillance system, which shows that Nigeria is developing.”
Ojukwu said the security agencies respect the rights of Nigerians and were not using the system to hack the phones and computers of innocent Nigerians.

The Department of State Services could not be reached for information on their use of the surveillance system.

RIP dear. Bloggers it is very bad of you people to lie against people just to make money. Bible calls is killing. Read the book of James. Wicked bloggers.

When I read those horrible posts from wicked and hungrey bloggers I knew they were lies.Because of unemployment most persons take to blogging to survive.They post all types of stories and pictures to attract traffic.People should be carefull with stories they read online.The lost for money is the root of these often exaggerated and outright falsehood being peddled about on the net.

contactmorak:
Without beating around the bush, she was not a runs-girl and she was not dropped from any vehicle. Her real name is Jummie and she is the sister of a friend and old school mate name Samuel Abayomi living in Ikorodu Lagos. The family is devastated by the loss of this young girl. More saddning is the fact that the social media and especially bloggers have capitalised on her picture to get traffic to their blogs by decieving the public that she was a runs girl. This is adding to the sadness of the family. Fellow bloggers please, have the fear of God and delete this fake story from your blogs.

Here is how my friend Samuel narrated what happed on his Facebook page:



For confirmation, here is the guy's facebook page.

Bloggers, once again on behalf of my friend kindly delete this false story. Let's respect the dead. MAY WE NOT BE VICTIMS OF CIRCUMSTANCES. AMEN!

Ok.How does the former first lady name come in?is it not according to'sources'?They suspect! Or somebody insinuated.Pls read the article again.

tbaba1234:
Hmmm, I don't completely agree with you. The good thing about the report is that names are mentioned. It is not the usual 'according to some sources' report.

I think there is some credibility to the report, i heard of the man's death weeks back..

It is nonsensical because the report does not met up with the minimum standard of reportage in journalism.The report is so disjointedd that you get confused midway. Read it.This is as a result of thE deSperation to paint a bad picture of the former first lady.

tbaba1234:
What is nonsensical about the report?

Punch in their insatiable urge to blackmail GEJ and his wife have thrown all journalistic norm over board to publish this baseless arrant nonsensical report.The are intoxicated by the brown enveloped and the promise of patronage of their editors and director by the APc gov courtesy of tinubu.Ride on.

Specialiste:
Long rubbish.........confused writeup

Imperialist write up.A negative write up to further smear the name of Mugabe who has stood up to defend his country.He wo a free and fare election in his country.Yet these neocolonialist would not allow him rest.

SenseiX:
ZIMBABWE President Robert Mugabe tenure as Southern African Development Community (Sadc) rotating chair comes to an end on Monday, but his leadership has hardly been plain sailing, let alone remarkable.

Hopes by his inner circle and admirers that he would have a dramatic tenure and leave a lasting legacy on the continent were largely dashed because of the age gap and contrasting viewpoints between him and the younger crop of African leaders.

[b]The most striking rebuff of Mugabe (91) occurred when he went to West Africa in May to attend Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari’s inauguration in Abuja, only to be later denied entry into the Ivory Coast where he was supposed to officiate at an African Development Bank (AfDB) meeting’s closing ceremony.

Mugabe left Nigeria a bitter man, after he was not only stripped of his security protection leaving him vulnerable to pressure and harassment by the country’s journalists, but was also denied salutation as an elderly African statesman and current  African Union (AU) chairperson.

Despite being harassed by Sahara Television journalists, which incident went viral, government officials say Mugabe was particularly angered by what he perceived as political and diplomatic hostility towards him by Nigerians. He believed the hosts were “ignoring, overlooking or deliberately refusing” to recognise him as the AU chairperson.

Taking matters up with Buhari

He was so angry that he stormed out of Nigeria to nearby Equatorial Guinea, where he was accommodated by his good friend Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.

Mugabe engaged Buhari over the matter when they met at the AU summit in South Africa in June in an effort to resolve the fallout.

But the most embarrassing episode for Mugabe was the decision by Ivory Coast authorities to deny him permission to land in the country where he was due to give a speech at an AfDB meeting attended by finance ministers from the continent.[/b]

Mugabe was invited by the bank to address the meeting during the official opening ceremony, but failed to do so because he was attending Buhari’s inauguration. While in Nigeria officials from the bank asked him to make a statement at the closing ceremony instead.

Mugabe said Ivory Coast officials communicated that President Alassane Ouattara was ill and in bed and could therefore not host him or allow his aircraft to land. Mugabe however believes Ouattara was influenced by France.



Mugabe failed in his bid to influence African countries to withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC), moreso after attempts by South African civil society organisations to have Sudan President Omar al-Bashir arrested and handed over to the ICC while he was attending an AU summit in South Africa in June.

Mugabe helps Bashir ‘escape’

The AU chairman played a role in ensuring that al-Bashir flew out of South Africa, in defiance of the country’s High Court order which banned him from leaving the country until an application calling for his arrest had been heard, resulting in questions being asked about the continent and South Africa’s commitment to the rule of law.

Mugabe however got much support from a number of African leaders who believe the ICC has been pursuing African leaders while ignoring “war crimes” by Western countries such as the US and Britain. Some African leaders also believe the AU should have its own court.

Al-Bashir has been a polarising figure in Africa. In 2012, then Malawi president Joyce Banda barred al-Bashir from attending the AU summit in her country resulting in the summit being moved to Ethiopia.

Mugabe, who is in his seventh term despite Zimbabwe’s economic collapse, failed to deal with third-termism in Africa and shocked delegates during the AU summit when he suggested there should not be term limits arguing two terms could feel as short as two weeks.

“It is a democracy, if people want a leader to continue, let him continue,” he said.

Mugabe was, however, very vocal on African issues particularly in relation to resource ownership and exploitation for the benefit of indigenous nationals.

He also tried to attend as many AU meetings as possible, at the expense of Zimbabwe’s collapsing economy, many feel.

Mugabe has failed to have any influence in conflict zones such as  South Sudan, the Central Africa Republic and Nigeria where Boko Haram insurgents continue carrying out bloody attacks.

His reign started on a bad note with South African President Jacob Zuma and then Namibian President Hifikepunye Pohamba refusing to sign the Protocol on Trade in Service despite Mugabe putting pressure on them during a closed door meeting of a summit in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

An angry Mugabe then blasted Zuma at a press conference saying he should co-operate with other regional leaders instead of seeking to turn the region into a market for South African products.

Khama’s snub

During the summit, Botswana President Ian Khama skipped the official opening ceremony where Mugabe took over the Sadc chairship.

Khama, diplomats said, felt Mugabe was not an exemplary leader and was against the regional body appointing someone who had given the region headaches over many years, the most recent being elections won in July 2013 amid systematic rigging claims.

Ironically, Mugabe was championing regional economic growth at a time his country is going through massive de-industrialisation which has resulted in company closures and massive retrenchments.

As Sadc and AU chair, he was ambiguous on xenophobia which rocked South Africa. He will be remembered for apologising to Zuma for Zimbabweans flooding his country and disrupting the country’s social structure.

Although he tried to tackle Zuma on xenophobia during a Sadc industrialisation meeting in Harare, he was crushed by the South African president and Khama, who insisted that regional governments were also to blame for failing to provide opportunities for their people.

Mugabe subsequently blasted Zuma at a press conference in his absence.

True to form, Mugabe was very involved in events in the region where he also attended presidential inauguration ceremonies in Namibia, Zambia and Mozambique. He toured the Sadc headquarters in Botswana and showed interest in solving the crisis in Lesotho, although in the end South Africa played a pivotal role as chair of the Sadc Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Co-operation.

Woged2005:
Hello Nlers, please I need only matured inputs here. I have an engaged friend in Nigeria whose Fiancee's family (family of the guy) is standing in strong opposition to her marrying their son. I have inquired, the only reason I get is that the girl is a bank marketer. Please forgive my ignorance bc I am lost and have not been to Naija for a while. I have tried Google but couldn't get answers.

1. What do Nigerians have against female bank marketers; isn't it a career like others?
2. Apart from rumors any real stories or claims to support this beliefs?
3. How many guys here can date or marry a female bank marketer?

Honestly, I am just lost. This sounds like a dream job where I am based, so I can't understand the family's strong opposition. Abeg can someone educate me?

These kids on nairaland.You stay in the comfort of ur home to post nonsense.eside the propaganda you read here do you know what is involved in security and warfare?You people talk without facts.Nonsense.

MosakuAW:
Nonsense write up.

Show me the body and i will beleive. USA did not show us the body of Osama Bin laden, but evidence shows he is dead. What of Shekau evidence?

4.2 trillion naira on security and nothing to show for it because most of the money was diverted to personal use.

I would rather give credit to Shekau for being elusive than giving credit to yeye Jonathan.

Thanks for the information.Fools on Nairaland post mischiveous items to attract foolish comments from their fellow hate rage infested fools.

The bane in nigeria is that most of us have a mindset.If an issue or action does. Not conform to our thought or believe then what ever the out come is thought to be compromised.How did you know that Price water did not do a thorough job?The main culprit as regard this skwed and bias view of issues is the present govt and its supporters.

divinehand2003:
Hope the spendings of all the political parties during the just concluded 2015 elections would also be audited?
But this Price water House Cooper did not do a thorough audit of NNPC the last time under Oga Jona. Hope they are now set to do a much better job this time around?

Don't mind him.These are people in the "situation room"(social media team)paid and funded to counter facts published against the gov.

chukwudi44:
I expected you to comment on the veracity or otherwise of the report and not to start blabbing whether it is from CNN or not!! Unless you can counter that report with tangible proof that Buhari is not doing away with the probe of the halliburton scam that report will remain on the CNN

They survive on lies.SR is gutter and junk journalism examplified.
