| Politics / Nigeria To Be Dominant Global Power Within 80 Years (New Report) by Parigi01: 8:58pm On Jul 15, 2020 |
Spain's population to halve and Nigeria to be dominant global power within 80 years, report predicts As working age populations decline in developed countries, more liberal immigration systems could become a necessity. The global population is likely to shrink after the middle of this century, triggering shifts in economic power, a new report suggests. There will be around 9.7 billion people on the planet by 2064, but that number will decrease to 8.8 billion by the year 2100, according to a new report in medical journal The Lancet. The analysis says that improvements to modern contraceptive methods and the increasingly widespread education of women could be a catalyst for a decline in global fertility rates. That, according to the report, means that populations will not be sustained at current levels without a more liberal immigration approach. Populations in 23 countries, including Japan, Spain and Italy, are forecast to decline by more than half, according to the research, with another 34 countries, including China, seeing a drop of more than 25%. However, sub-Saharan Africa will buck the trend, and is set to see growth of more than three times its current population, thanks to falling death rates in the region and the rising number of women reaching child-bearing age. Across the world, over-80s are set to outnumber under-fives by a factor of two-to-one by 2100, marking a shift in the working age population. Countries such as China, Spain, the UK and Germany are all expected to see a dramatic drop in the size of their workforce, resulting in a slowing of economic growth that will open the way for African and Arab countries to take the lead economically. Dr Richard Horton, editor in chief of The Lancet, said: "This important research charts a future we need to be planning for urgently. "It offers a vision for radical shifts in geopolitical power, challenges myths about immigration, and underlines the importance of protecting and strengthening the sexual and reproductive rights of women. The 21st century will see a revolution in the story of our human civilisation. Africa and the Arab World will shape our future, while Europe and Asia will recede in their influence. By the end of the century, the world will be multipolar, with India, Nigeria, China, and the US the dominant powers. "This will truly be a new world, one we should be preparing for today." African nations will lead the way in terms of total population growth. Niger's population is forecast to grow by 765% by 2100, Chad's by 710%, South Sudan's by 594% and Mali's by 321%. Meanwhile, Latvia is predicted to see the biggest fall in population, by 78%, with El Salvador's population forecast to drop by 77%. As a result, it means that south and southeast Asia will concede their positions as the most populated regions of the world to Sub-Saharan Africa, which is projected to see an explosion in growth in the middle of the century. This is a limited version of the story so unfortunately this content is not available. Open the full version Central Europe will move to the bottom of the table, with North America overtaking the region. India, which currently has the second-highest population in the world, will rise to the number one spot by the year 2100, despite a fall in population of around 300 million people. This is a limited version of the story so unfortunately this content is not available. Open the full version China will fall from top to third place in the table, with its population set to fall by more than 25%. Nigeria, which currently has the seventh-highest population in the world, will rocket up to second place by 2100, while the Japanese population will plummet from the 10th to 38th. The Lancet study also predicts a major shift in the way age is distributed throughout the global population. This is a limited version of the story so unfortunately this content is not available. Open the full version By and large, age is currently structured as a pyramid with more young people than older people, with people in their mid-20s being an outlier. However, the journal predicts that the population will become more middle-aged by 2100. The Lancet report suggests that immigration could be a way to offset population decline. Western countries that will have a lower birth rate by 2100, such as the US, Australia and Canada, will likely be able to maintain a working age population by liberalising their stance on immigration. The report warns, however, that population decline should not compromise global progress made on women's rights and reproductive health. Professor Ibrahim Abubakar, from University College London and the chair of Lancet Migration, said that if the predictions made in the Lancet "are even half accurate", then "migration will become a necessity for all nations and not an option". He added: "The positive impacts of migration on health and economies are known globally. The choice that we face is whether we improve health and wealth by allowing planned population movement or if we end up with an underclass of imported labour and unstable societies." https://news.sky.com/story/amp/decline-in-fertility-will-see-global-population-shrink-triggering-radical-shifts-in-economic-power-report-12028364 1 Like 1 Share |
| Crime / He flaunted private jets and luxury cars on Instagram that was how he was caught by Parigi01: 11:07am On Jul 12, 2020 |
He flaunted private jets and luxury cars on Instagram. Feds used his posts to link him to alleged cyber crimes (CNN) - A Nigerian man nicknamed "Ray Hushpuppi" who flaunted his Rolls Royces, fancy watches and designer clothing on Instagram faces money laundering conspiracy charges in the United States, according to the Department of Justice. Ramon Olorunwa Abbas appeared in a federal court in Chicago on Friday. He is accused of conspiring to launder hundreds of millions of dollars through cybercrime schemes. According to a federal affidavit, one of the alleged victims was the client of a New York-based law firm that lost nearly a million dollars in 2019. Abbas was arrested last month by law enforcement officials in the United Arab Emirates and transferred to the US this week by the FBI. Prosecutors allege Abbas is one of the leaders of a global network that uses computer intrusions, business email compromise (BEC) schemes and money laundering capers to steal hundreds of millions of dollars. A BEC scheme often involves a hacker who redirects communications of a business email account to others in an attempt to lure them into making a wire transfer. A BEC scheme often involves a hacker who redirects communications of a business email account to others in an attempt to lure them into making a wire transfer. "This case targets a key player in a large, transnational conspiracy who was living an opulent lifestyle in another country while allegedly providing safe havens for stolen money around the world. As this case demonstrates, my office will continue to hold such criminals accountable, no matter where they live," US Attorney Nick Hanna said in a statement. It is unclear whether Abbas has an attorney. The Department of Justice says the Hushpuppi Instagram account, which boasts 2.4 million followers, shows Abbas inside or in front of jets, shopping luxury brands, posing in front of Rolls Royces, a Ferrari and other expensive cars. In the bio, Hushpuppi says he is a real estate developer. According to the Dubai Police Facebook page, Abbas and 11 other people were arrested during raids in which authorities seized nearly $41 million, 13 luxury cars worth $6.8 million and phone and computer evidence containing more than 100,000 fraud files and the addresses of nearly 2 million possible victims. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/07/12/us/ray-hushpuppi-alleged-money-laundering-trnd/index.html |
| Travel / Every Nigerian Abroad Should Read This! by Parigi01: 9:09am On Jun 27, 2020 |
I came across the article below and would love to share it with everyone: The Unjust Feeling of Entitlement By Adedara Oduguwa PhD “Adedeji just came back to Nigeria from Los Angeles where he had lived and worked for 20years as a cleaner and menial labourer. His friends Tayo and Jelili were so happy to receive their childhood friend who at 45 is yet to be married and have kids. His last twenty years has been full of struggles, denials and self sacrifice. He told his friends; ‘ you guys don’t know what God has done for you. Look at you people, you have your own houses, wives, children and everyone in the community can easily identify with you. Unlike me, many people do not recognize me, some even called me baba London. No wife, no children, no house and no one would employ me at my age, except I start a business. I have lost so much to my 20 years odyssey. I have lost my early life to hustling.’ Adedeji travelled to the United States at age 25 in search of greener pasture. His two friends, also 44 and 46, were professional accountant and lawyer respectively. Deji sold his house in LA and relocated to Nigeria for fear of old age, royal inheritance (being a prince), family and his love for his people. Although, he has lost all his early life to ‘struggling abroad’, he still came back with 85million naira, his life’s savings. Deji believed he could build a house, start a business, marry a woman and start life all over with this money. Adedeji called his friends and explained to them his plan to start a new life in Nigeria. He also declared he had 40million naira cash with him. His friends confirmed, ‘with the huge amount, you won’t have any problem starting all over.’ A week after, they took him to a property at the GRA in their town, the property goes for 25million naira according to Jelili who has been bargaining with the seller. Seeing the property, Adedeji loved it and paid immediately. It was on their way home that he met with Tomi. Tomi is a Nurse at the State’s Teaching Hospital. She’s tall, beautiful, curvy and jovial. They started talking and the rest is history. As times goes by, Adedeji realized he is left with 2million naira from the 40 million naira declared to his friends earlier on. What happened? On the very day he declared 40million naira to his friends, his Accountant friend came back at night to ask for a loan of 5million naira. Deji, a simple and generous man asked what the money was for. Tayo said he had collected a bank loan to build his house 5 years before that period and if he didn’t pay back by next week, he will lose the house. ‘Ah!’Deji said. He dashed him 2.5million naira. Tayo was amazed, he thanked him and left joyfully. The second day, Jelili came with his wife and children crying, he said his wife has been diagonised of breast cancer in the previous month and now the doctor is saying if she’s not operated in the next one month the family would lose her. Adedeji became very afraid hearing this. He asked ‘how much are we talking about? Your wife won’t die when I am here. God forbid!’ ‘2.5million naira’_ Said Jelili. ‘How much do you have on you.’_ Adedeji asked ‘ We have used the money on us to buy drugs for her.’_Jelili submitted. ‘Oh, no problem.’ Said Adedeji Adedeji wrote a cheque of 2.5 million naira in Jelili wife’s name and handled it to them. They were so happy and prayed for him before they registered their leave. Adedeji family members didn’t spare him as well, they will come with one problem or the other which he usually absorbed thinking he is the only one that can solve it for them. However, what is amazing is that everyone wants his wristband, wristwatch, shoes, jackets, trousers, sun glasses, and necklaces, school fees, electronics, keke napep, businesses, even his boxes,. It is as if they want to run him naked. In the few months of his stay at home, Adedeji had spent 38million naira and dashed out almost all his belongings to relatives and friends who had suddenly become beggars yet everyday new stories comes up. He has a small diary where he kept daily expenses. Out of the 38 million naira spent, he had only spent 25m naira (for house) and 2.5m naira (purchase of car and upkeep) on himself. The remaining 10 million naira have been spent on other people. Adedeji called his friends and asked for the way forward. Since he needed to start a business. He had only 2m naira left. His partner, Tomi has been continuously disturbed by her friends to ask Adedeji to buy her a car. Tomi was a great woman who believes in hard work. She felt she would buy herself a car in due season and should not be a liability to the poor man. She believes in supporting him to become better and focused more on making him happy Everyone around Adedeji without planning it wanted to rip him apart. His mother who is living in a house built for her by Adedeji is also complaining that he’s not doing enough for her. She wanted a lot and couldn't listen to reasons, she thinks that the only way he can show that he loves her is to keep giving her, still she does emotional blackmails on him which hurts more. Adedeji is getting tired of too many demands from friends and relatives in just few months of his stay at home. It is now glaring that if he doesn’t stop dolling out money to people as usual, he would soon become wretched. How can people be making their personal business plans and hoping on his money with all confidence that he must do it, their plans? In one afternoon, a guy who also doubles as a Plumber working in his property called him on phone to advice him about his relatives and friends. In is words: ‘Egbon, you are a nice person I know, but please trust no body. Do you know after Mr Tayo padded the house price with 5m naira, I do not expect him to still be among the people that will be saying evil about you. Even egbon Jelili lied that his wife has breast cancer to collect 2.5m naira from you.’ ‘What are you talking about?’_Asked Adedeji. ‘Well, I know you didn’t know that the property was originally sold for 20m. It was egbon Tayo that added 5m naira to it. He said you are a very stingy person and if he doesn’t add anything to the house’s price, he won’t get anything from you. He also said for the 20 years you have stayed in the US, he didn’t owe you 5 kobo.’ ‘Are you sure of what you are saying? Are you sure young man?’ _Adedeji asked angrily. ‘Sir, please calm down, this is Nigeria o. I am saying this because on my way to work this morning I saw him with brother Jelili and two other guys, I don’t know. They were talking about a business for you or so. I didn’t know the exact thing, but I heard of them talking about their own commissions. Sir, all I want to say is please be careful and don’t tell anyone or act in anyway that would make your friends to know I said anything to you. Our people are very dangerous. Money is hard to come by this days and people would do anything for money. I don’t want to lose you! Sir any body close to you who is collecting and collecting is only saying let me grab what I can from this idiot, whether your sister, your brother or your relatives, that's what they call people like you. Have a nice day Sir.’ _The guy dropped the call. Adedeji was flabbergasted, he could not believe his ears. His best friends , his family have turned against him, they are ready to be his worst enemies. After all he had done for them, their families and his own families. He realised that they didn't value his so called good heart because theirs are filled with greed. In the next day, his friends came as expected with two other guys, the guys said they own a Quarry in Abeokuta that worth 5m naira and would love to sell to him because they were prepared to relocate abroad. They estimated the Quarry to originally worth 20m naira but because they needed cash they would like to sell to him at 5m naira. Adedeji asked his friends about the deal. They said they have confirmed it and it’s so real. That it’s even unbelievable that the guys agreed to sell at that rate. ‘Well, since I came back from the States I have been thinking of a business. I think I like this one. However, Tayo and Jelili are aware I only have 2m naira left on me. And I will have to maintain myself too from the money. I don’t think I have enough to buy your Quarry this time, I am afraid.’ Tayo and Jelili oared, let’s talk to this guys in camera, we will get back. Few minutes later, they came in and said the guys had agree to collect 1.5m naira. That he could pay the remaining money once income starts coming in. Adedeji at this point was able to link what the guy told him on phone and what is playing out. He told his friends; ‘if I want to buy this Quarry you guys will have to help me raise 3.5m naira. And we will have to pay this guys once and for all. There is no how 1.5m naira would be enough to process US visa for two people.’ He then turned to the guys, ‘please go. I have your numbers, I will call you tomorrow on the deal.’_He submitted. The guys left. His friends told him they have not even eaten since yesterday and they have also been thinking he could help them with some money. Adedeji looked at the two of them, sobered and asked them never to come around him again. ‘You are traitors and wicked.’ They both denied the allegations but Adedeji made them to write statements with the police that they will not come around him again.” The question is, what was Adedeji’s offense to his friends, relatives, and his community? You that is living abroad learn to say the truth, stop acting as if you have enough because the pound and dollar exchange is more than naira when changed, most times you use credit card to buy things, collect loans to travel and will not tell your people that you are in trouble over there. Why don't you pity yourself? Living a life of tension and loans, working 10 jobs and suffering humiliations, only to allow your family and friends tear you apart because they see you as a means to an end and not because you meant anything to them. Over the years, I have seen how we unreasonably dupe and ungratefully exploit Nigerians in the diaspora. We have this wicked spirit of entitlements. We act as if money grow on the streets of London, Tokyo, Paris, New York and others. We are never just on these hustlers. Yet, we sleep 18hours in the 24hours that makes one day. While our brothers and sisters work-out their asses almost 18hours everyday. A Londoner will send a phone to you, you will call him and said ‘I don’t want this phone you sent. I want IPhone 11 max. My friends said this is too small for my level.’ If you have levels, why are you depending on another to buy you a phone? What is wrong with you buying yourself your desired phone? Shior! Stop living the life of an ungrateful beggar! When an Americana comes home, we want to collect everything he/she is wearing and leave him naked if possible. And at times, when they are naked, we also want to end their lives. Evil lives in our heart and mind. This has to stop! How many people in the diaspora is not stingy to you? You don’t have a job, yet you drive a fine car, wears fine clothes, shoes and drink three bottles of beer daily, all because you have been asked to help build your brothers’ house. Yet, he’s stingy, this has to stop! No one owes you a dime. If you want money, work for it. You believe that you love your brother or sister but all you care about is what he will do for you, you pretend to understand yet every day you are making fresh demands on him or her, you want this, you want that, do this for me, do that for me. Stop it is wickedness. There is nothing fantastic about the people living abroad, you can't afford to live like they do, its hellish. If you ever made your way to Europe or America you will know that Nigerians in the diaspora suffers more (racism, cold, self-denial) to be what they are, than you living in the comfort of your country and home. We have to be grateful for any penny these people are willing to send home. God bless all Nigerian hustling abroad. Image Source: The Nation Newspaper 11 Likes 1 Share |

This is to say a big thank you to everyone who has participated in this process.Its been pure pleasure dealing with ALL of you and i really wish i could engage all those who submitted their details! However,that is not a realistic option.Maybe,there would be an avenue to use the services of some of you next time as i still have a few other projects in the pipeline.I shall also be recommending your services to my acquaintances. I received a good number of quotes,some of which were incredibly competitive and low.On the other hand,one or two were outrageously high. Towing a middle line,i have whittled everything down to just 2 developers.The winner will be announced today after final consideration. The project is for an international non profit humanitarian organisation with special focus on West and North Africa,to deal with issues involving human trafficking,refugees,immigration,forced prostitution,extreme poverty and the marginalised. I am doing a partial relocation from the UK to set this up in a francophone sub-saharan African country.The intention is to mushroom into various African countries with time. Once the website is completed,i shall revisit this thread with the completed website and Facebook page to reveal the finished product,which i hope would elicit your evaluation.I also hope you would come along with me on this journey towards contributing our little quota in the fight against modern day slavery,extreme poverty and social injustice in our beloved Africa.
