Chai! I said use Google or refer to Umahi previous interview with Arise TV

Watch Umahi here running his figure on the same Arise TV. Start watching from the 15 minutes. He said everything there. I wonder what you want him to do again.

BlueRayDick:
Sometimes u wonder if u read or ponder long enough on some of these things u post before posting them.

So because Umahi may have answered the questions in the past, he shouldn't answer same in the interview yesterday?

Do you have any real life exposure? Do you know that for some jobs you will be required to undergo at least 4 levels of panel interview and for each of the interview stages they will ask you the same generic question: " can we meet you?" or"tell us about yourself".

Will you suddenly fly out of your handle at the 3rd stage of interview that why are they asking you a question you've already answered in your previous interview?

In case you don't know, Umahi is a public servant whose current lifestyle is being financed by my tax and yours ( that is if you are paying tax). He owes us answers and that's why he's on Arise TV to give account of what his ministry has been doing with our tax. The question posed to him is a valid one and he should answer without any drama. He could as well have stayed in his ministry and refuse to speak to media so we will know they intend to spend our commonwealth without being accountable to anyone. Maybe that will make u happy Sha, since Rufai the interviewer is Ur own problem.

What question did they post to him?

Oh, and also tell us the difference between Media interview and Job interview?

[color=royalblue]I remember how we were told Nigeria was good in the 70s and 80s, and how NYSC was something every graduate looked up to.

If people were forging certificates in the 70s, when there wasn't really a need, and Nigeria wasn't this bad, I can imagine the kind of forgery going on today [/color]

[color=royalblue] Nigeria really messed this Nnamdi Kanu's case up.

I am not surprised that elected officers are now conducting protests for him. It won't be long before the entire elected and selected SE officials show him support.

You accuse someone of terrorism and locked him up, with no sign of conviction. Another region has the same set of terrorists, and they are offered money, Peace deals and Chieftaincy titles.

Buhari, the Master Security strategist, I hope you find peace wherever you are.[/color]

I should tell you the difference between job interview and media interview. So when I do, what will you do with the information? You will claim they are diffrent right? Then you will proceed to veer off the topic and be arguing about obscenities that has nothing to do with the matter being discussed?

A sensible person who knows he has rights knows that a serving who takes himself to media station will be faced with questions around contentious issus like the coastal road project and he's expected to answer those questions as best as he can.

The minister is overseeing the biggest single capital project in Nigeria's history till date and he's getting angry over the political leaning of the journalist interviewing him when he should be selling the project to as many people as possible who are still not convinced the project is what we need now. Here you are suggesting if is okay for the minister to form performatory outrage instead of answering the journalist's question.

With people like you constituting majority of our population, we will always get the short end of the stick in this country.

Segedinho:
Do u now agree that there cost per km is actually d right question??

So tell me d wrong in re-asking same question again and again in a different interview?

[color=royalblue]Umahi answers na "View once"

E no dey answer twice [/color]

Nnaji, a 62-year-old Enugu-born entrepreneur and CEO of the software firm Parthian Partners, was thrust into the spotlight as part of Tinubu’s sweeping cabinet reshuffle following his May 2023 inauguration. Touted as a tech visionary with a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology/Biochemistry from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), and a completed National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) stint, Nnaji breezed through Senate confirmation hearings on August 27, 2023. He dazzled lawmakers with promises of digital innovation, securing a nod for the newly carved Ministry of Innovation, Science, and Technology.

I doubt there was much forgery of credentials in the 70's and 80's. The technology wasn't available in the country then.

The minister's Bachelor and NYSC discharge certificates were forged recently, and backdated to his chosen dates.

Much easier then as it was likely via printing press and hand signed documents

Just need the same template and you are good to go.

It is really an indictment of multiple institutions that you cannot simply log into their websites and get this info directly in 2025.

If you say so but I was just thinking that it was the advent of computers and graphic design softwares that really made Oluwole and forgery of documents bloom, and in the 70's and 80's, computers no dey Naija like that.

All research projects of that period were typewritten, and there would have been limitations to the documents typewriters and printing presses could have churned out.

BlueRayDick:
Maybe because you are not based in Lagos. Have you heard about the infamous Oluwole on Lagos Island? Oluwole is not a myth, if you want any forged document, Oluwole boys would produce it for you.

I think the place was demolished sometimes around 2007. (Not like that has stopped boys who still market forged documents from hanging around there till date). It was the advent of technology that really spoilt the forgery market.

I had a coursemate in 100L who was very good in graphics. He once confided in me that the number of forged documents he had done for people long before he gained admission was so much he can't remember. He dsigned checks for yahoo boys and also produces any university degree certificate for anyone who needs it.

I was shocked and thought he was just trying to impress me with cocck and bull story. I asked him how he will forge documents like WAEC certificate that has that shiny hologram that needs to pass mercury light test before it can be confirmed as genuine. Do you know what he told me? He said that shiny hologram is the cheapest thing to get for him; he said the shiny hologram was sold for N100 at Oju-irin at Mushin. (Anybody in Lagos knows Mushin raliway crossing and Palmgrove are the hub of printing press in Lagos). Since that day, I no dey doubt say people dey work with forged documents even in big organization.

GloriousGbola:
Computers introduced infinite variations and hidden watermarks in documents. Before computers the format of your document was limited.

As an example in architecture you would do max two designs after which you were locked in. Today you can do 10 designs for the client. You would print on a specific type of paper with a specific machine.

These limitations to formatting and printing made forgery easier and harder to detect.

A lot of documents today have hidden watermarks and other features direct from the software

As an example, I read that you cannot photocopy a dollar - this is a hardware level restriction on printers.

IMHO it is the advent of computers that has led to lack of competence in forgeries. Because it is now being done by amateurs without actual knowledge of the internal processes

You have the tools but you don't have the knowledge.

A competent forger is well - competent.

Changing DOB on NIN cost 29k on government portal. Bomb dey Tinubu head.

BlueRayDick:
It's just crazy that DSS that's supposed to be an I telligemce agency couldn't call this forgery out from day one. Imagine, this whole forgery slipped through DSS' supposed watchful eyes, it's just bunch of journalists that eventually did what should've been DSS job perfectly well..

Now I understand the reason why that short man Elrufai dey Para for Tinubu because of the DSS report that was used to stop his confirmation as minister. He probably knows DSS is an incompetent organization and could's let him off if they wanted to in their report which tinubu relied on. Shebi na the same report clear certificate forger like Nnaji.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I doubt that too, but I guess maybe there's more we didn't know about. I also agree that it would have been easier to forge then.

Reminds me of a movie by Leonardo DiCaprio. His name was Frank something sha. Baba forged cheques, scammed airlines, even Olosho sef . The FBI had to employ him in the end.

And that was in the 70s and 80s[/color]

monerozi5590:
In Mathematics there's what we call Estimation. It has two parts. Rounding up or rounding down. It is as approximated value and not true value. You use estimated value to plan the budget of a project.

The minister came on air and ran his figures based on estimated value. I watched the breakdown and he did an excellent job there.

On the same Arise TV, Umahi said this cost per kilometer is not constant throughout but there will be variations due to certain conditions and average cost per kilometer should be the right question.

Spy360:
So many failed institutions. Failed DSS. Failed Judiciary.

So much nonsense going on here.

Forgery and perjury becoming the norms
