Its no big deal to purchase Bullet proof jeeps for all Former Head of states. When the one they are using gets old and due for replacements. By law, they deserve to be properly protected, and that responsibility falls squarely on the FGN.

But if it is the cash earmarked for Arms purchase that was diverted and used for that purpose, then Dansuki is guilty of misappropriation.

Why didn't he make a request to purchase bullet proof cars for Ex Head of States in the 2015 budget? He is just forming smart, and trying to use that as justification for other illegal purposes he used the arms money for.


The bullet proof jeep, GEJ went with now, when it gets old, it is the responsibility of the FGN to change it for him. But it should be properly appropriated in the budget.

Not that they will take money meant to buy arms and use for another purpose.


It is called stealing while using good intention as an alibi.

1. Please Kindly provide the section of the law
2. If the law Exist does it include Bullet proof cars?

Majority of guys are very immature and unacceptable societal-wise by their attitude and appearance!

*Dirty boxers: Some guys wear boxers for weeks without changing them! Dirty pikin and u won toast babe. White boxers go turn to carton colour

*White singlet turns brown: I still wonder how some guys wear white singlet till it turns brown! Some guys' singlets have even turned to buba with a wide space under the arms. The skinny ones will look like hangers inside the singlet! abeg upgrade joor!!!

*Keeping bushy hairs: This is seriously a turn-off! Does it mean you can't afford 200 naira to cut your hair? Are you practicing madness? Some barbers even charge 150 naira! Guy, abeg go cut your hair make you look like human being.

*Wearing skinny Jeans: I don't mind seeing small boys do this but not when you have come of age. Do you know how you look? Over 30 and you still wear jeans that make you look like vulture that has been beaten by rain!

*Sagging: Exposing your cheap boxers that you bought from gbogbo at the rate of 150 naira! Continue to misbehave, there is a prize for you

*Wanting to sleep with a lady on a first date: This is the most annoying and dumbest! You just meet a girl and you want to sleep with her? Because of the 1000 naira you spent on refreshment? Well, only girls without class fall for that. One day, your uncontrollable appetite for sex will land you in Kirikiri Maximum Security!!! Akpa!

*Taking drugs and alcohol to make love: So you can really do this? You plan to destroy someone's daughter? I never knew you could be so serious to apply a lot of strength and energy with adequate planning for this ac! Yet, you have not been able to plan your life or think of putting in so much energy in your work or career! Nonsense!

The rate at which most guys post degrading stuffs about ladies is very high yet they don't critically evaluate their own lives! Adumadu body!

From your previous thread you bf is guilty of the last item. He takes alchohol to have sexxxx with you

BECAUSE OF THE HIGHT RATE OF MALE RAPE , THE GOVT. HAD TO OPEN A TRAUMA HOSPITAL FOR MALE RAPE VICTIMS


In a bid for gender equality, Sweden opened its first rape center specifically for male victims Thursday, Metro reported. The clinic opened at Södersjukhuset, one of the largest hospitals in Stockholm. The new clinic is understood to be the first emergency department devoted solely to male rape victims.

Sweden has the highest rate of rape in Europe, and the hospital already operates a 24-hour, walk-in clinic for women and girls who have been sexually assaulted, treating between 600 to 700 patients a year. Roughly 370 cases of sexual assault on males were reported in the country in 2014, according to the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention. The opening of the rape center was hailed by multiple political parties in the country.

"Emergency medical care for raped men will be free of charge, and offered around the clock, all year," local Moderate party politician and council representative on emergency care in a statement, Marie Ljungberg Schöt said in a statement, the Local reported. "So far there has been no specific place for men who are victims of rape to turn to. Therefore we in the Alliance have decided to change this."

A study conducted in 2014 by the sexual education organization RFSU proposed that men across many municipalities in Sweden were uncertain about where they could get emergency help prior to a rape.
"There are myths about masculinity that make it difficult for men who have been sexually traumatized to talk about their experiences," said Inger Björklund, a spokesperson for RFSU, the Local reported. "A clinic focusing on men who have been sexually abused will contribute to the awareness of experiences of sexual abuse among men and make it more possible to meet men's needs."

Three female suicide bombers on Friday, attacked the Umarari Bayan Waya area of Mulai Village in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital with Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), leaving at least seven people feared killed and 17 others injured.

The blast was reported to have occurred around a few minutes past 5am when Muslim faithful were getting ready for the early morning prayer, reports Channels TV.

The explosion claimed the lives of the suicide bombers and four others while 17 injured are currently receiving treatment at the Specialist Hospital.

This is coming barely 24 hours after many worshippers were feared dead in a bomb explosion in a mosque around Mulai area of Maiduguri.

The bomb went off when worshippers were observing their Magrib prayers.

Dozens of worshippers were killed when two suicide bombers blew themselves up in the mosque, witnesses said.

“All the people in the mosque died. Not a single one escaped,” said Muhtari Ahmadu, a trader near the scene.

“We counted 42 dead bodies outside the mosque,” added Amadu Marte, a vigilante supporting the security forces in the fight against the Islamist Boko Haram group, which has carried out repeated attacks in the region.

The Ty Warner Penthouse suite in New York is the priciest suite in the US as it costs $50k a night. Why does it cost that much? Well, according to the business Insider, it has an amazing 360-degree panorama (as it is the highest suite in the Big Apple).

It is 400 square metres (4,300 sq ft) which is about the size of an NBA basketball court. Plus a 56 square metre bedroom with finishing touches like Thai silk with 22 carat gold threads. The suite comes with its own private elevator, a 24-hour private butler, a chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce, an art concierge (to guide you through the hotel’s collection) and a personal trainer and the suite can accommodate up to three people.

MI has gone for Femi Fani-Kayode on twitter



Yesterday, former minister Femi Fani-Kayode released a statement saying that if anything happens to former Secretary to Government of the Federation, and Afenifere chieftain, Chief Olu Falae, who was kidnapped yesterday from his farm, that the Federal Government will be held responsible and there will be consequences. MI thought the statement was inappropriate and slammed him on twitter...

Thank you......
if ur observation is not taken care of, the system will be abused, frustrated and forced out of the system sending the candid Beneficiaries to square one.
I can only approve dis proposal if i am the President based on only one condition: If a system can be put in place where the bio data of genuine unemployed graduates (with authentic proof) can be registered in a database, verifiable smart cards be issued to them and verification can be taken place automatically at the accredited Facility Centers/Points. Taking care of this, the Project can fly beyond the Sky!

breakdown? Read it twice, which breakdown.

News paper publisher these days get thier stories from blogs

tolustx:
I have two issues wit this letter.

1. If it was actually sent to d president, a national newspaper publisher or it was just given to a local blogger.

2. I seem not to understand dat breakdown he explained. Forgive me, I didn't like economics so much.

Nice Message, Youths really need to be problem solvers

bigtt76:
I doubt it ....rather the custom's delays and high handedness leads to people trying to circumvent the system. So we can conveniently conclude that smuggling being less lucrative will not help in curbing the excesses of the officers and men of the Nigerian customs rather if they are put in check, people would find smuggling less lucrative.

No one wants to invest thousands of naira in buying cars and risk that car being seized, stolen or destroyed during the process of smuggling same in using illegal routes.

Yes, i agree but the Nigerian State shld first
slash the import duty on On these smuggled
cars, when the duty is same with the cost of
smuggling, the smugglers will find thier illicit
activities less luractive.

doctokwus:
Very good read and a well investigated story
This is where journalism should be at in Nigeria at this stage because there are so many illegal dealings and activities happening underground that needs to be made known,particularly as there is a change movement now in Nigeria.
Between NNPC,NDDC, NPA and customs,there seems to have been an ongoing race amongts the topmost officers and the rank and file as to which of these agencies would win the award for the most corrupt.
There doesn't seem to be a clearcut winner for now, but the undisputed loser has been the Nigerian state and ultimately the Nigerian people.

I am just Imagining what N1bn can do to Nigerian Youths weekly, that's a lot of Money

Yes, i agree but the Nigerian State shld first slash the import duty on On these smuggled cars, when the duty is same with the cost of smuggling, the smugglers will find thier illicit activities less luractive.

bigtt76:
"Nigerian Government should look into these Smuggling activities to make these activities less lucrative for these smugglers" @bolden ....is it the smuggling activities the government should look at or the illegal collections by the Nigerian Customs that gave rise to the smuggling? Once the men of the Customs and Excise are made to stop all those shady deals, smuggling would become unattractive

If smuggling is less lucrative, the Customs officers will not have oppoutunities to collect illegal fees

AnneMomoh:
These are stories that needs to be on FP, but Seun and his moderators will prefer entertainment on FP than issues of National Importance

i concur

Wow.. this is alot of Money

Very Strong Question oh

Starting a company is solitary and challenging especially in Nigeria where the business environment is rough and the cost of doing business is somehow high. This is not peculiar to Nigeria alone,
other developing countries and under-developed countries face the same challenges. Therefore working with others going through the same challenges and being mentored and supported makes a huge difference.


In recent time we have seen many startup accelerators launched in Lagos and other part of Nigeria and some are really doing great.
Startup Accelerator will help you make your idea a reality as you learn from seasoned entrepreneurs with track record in the entrepreneurship ecosystem. Working with startup accelerator or incubator has its advantage and disadvantage. But the advantages outweigh the disadvantage.
Some of the advantages are: access to mentor, investor, alumni network, funding, office space, media exposure among other benefits. The disadvantage are: Your original vision might be changed or work in different direction, You don’t have time to do other business except to focus on your idea, you spend much time meeting mentors and attending events, giving up a chunk of your company etc.
Below are some of the startup accelerators and incubators in Nigeria


1) The Innovation Ecosystem (Co-creation Hub)
CCHub
CcHUB is Nigeria’s first open living lab and pre-incubation space designed to be a multi-functional, multi-purpose space where work to catalyze creative social tech ventures take place. The HUB is a place for technologists, social entrepreneurs, government, tech companies, impact investors and hackers in and around Lagos to co-create new solutions to the many social problems in Nigeria.
CcHub functions at the heart of Nigeria’s technology innovation ecosystem as a place to:

facilitate creative thinking and collaborative problem solving
encourage technology innovation for improved social accountability in Nigeria
incubate novel tech ideas that promotes good governance/provision of public services
encourage shared accountability between technologist & innovators
serve as a living lab for prototyping and testing socially minded tech tools
build new skills and competencies
connect, share, create and find expertise

We start by identifying talented individuals/teams who have ideas and support the development of Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) to solve real local market problems/issues. To date, over fifty (50) ideas have enjoyed support through our Pre-Incubation program prominent of which are BudgIT, WeCyclers, Truppr, Traclist, Genii games, Vacantboards, Jobs In Nigeria, 500 shops, Efiko, Nigerian Constitution app, NaijaTeenz, Open apps, Church+.

Payment on delivery, the devil according to eCommerce players, is still very much the norm in Nigeria. I spoke with a few people why they prefer payment on delivery even when shopping with the biggest and most reputable players in Nigeria and yet they could make orders in distant countries on Amazon, Asos and Aliexpress. Basically, my survey was divided into 2 sets of people – those that don’t trust local eCommerce players well enough to refund them quickly if they are unsatisfied with their order and those that think they’re vulnerable to all sorts of card fraud once they enter their card details online. Personally, it’s a struggle to get Aliexpress to refund me for orders I never get and the latter group would never approve of such transactions.

These myths were written by MasterCard from their survey and they are dedicated towards those people that fall in the latter group because to them, sometimes, a convenient payment solution to make life easier might seem too good to be true, but with the rise of technology it really is possible.

MasterCard

For example, electronic payment developments such as contactless cards and digital wallets seem to be suspiciously simple, too simple in fact that misperceptions or myths are created around payment safety and security.

There are universal truths about the technology and safety behind electronic payments, in contrast to everyday misperceptions. MasterCard has traced some common payment myths about cashless payment solutions and has ‘busted’ them with the truth, to help provide peace of mind.

Myth 1: Card information breaches are rampant and out of control.

Truth: Efforts by the payments technology industry to enhance the security of payment systems has delivered substantial falls in card breaches. While payments have never been safer, criminals have never been smarter. Companies globally are collaborating to address key issues on safety and security. Electronic payments remain one of the safest ways to pay, more so than cash.

Myth 2: Cash is a secure, anonymous solution.

Truth: Cash is the least secure form of payment because if stolen, it can be used by anyone without any need for authentication.

Myth 3: Chip and PIN is a security silver bullet.

Truth: There is no silver bullet to completely stop security breaches. However, technology on a payment card has multiple layers of security that help detect and mitigate threats. Chip and PIN technology is just one example of a security layer that helps fight persistent security threats.

Myth 4: Security is still the biggest concern that prevents consumers from shopping online.

Truth: Shopping online can be a daunting experience for a first-time user, but there are technology advancements such as MasterCard SecureCode that allow online retailers to add another layer of security for transactions by asking the consumer to enter a password. That password is only known by the consumer.

Myth 5: When shopping online, the more information I enter, the more secure my purchase.

Truth: It’s preferable for online retailers to authenticate an online shopper with the minimum information possible. Ideally, they will request the three digit CVC or Security number on the back of your card to complete a payment. Alternatively, adopting a digital wallet like MasterPass takes the hassle out of repeatedly adding your payment and shipping information, with the benefit of having all the security of your payment card included.

Myth 6: Fraudsters can electronically pickpocket your card/device information for identity theft.

Truth: There is a clear distinction between identity theft, where a consumer’s identity is assumed by another individual for criminal purposes, and payment card fraud, where a consumer’s card information is compromised and used to make unauthorised purchases. As contactless cards only send a minimal amount of information, there is very little risk of actual identity theft.

Myth 7: My spending data can be shared.

Truth: All spending data is anonymized and aggregated and cannot be traced back to individuals. If you’re getting cold-calls from unknown salespeople, rest assured that they did not get your details from a technology payment provider.

With these common myths ‘busted’, there’s no excuse for you to not adopt the latest payment innovations to make an online purchase. Life is meant to be simple, don’t let myths about fraudsters ruin it.

Truecaller called Truemessenger. Essentially it manages your SMS box in a smart way, the same way your email service provider sorts your messages for you.
It tracks senders with a bad reputation (spammy senders) and reroutes their messages straight into your spam box.

Now you won’t have to constantly check your phone during that board meeting each time it vibrates only to see MTN trying to sell a bible quote to you for N50. Neither would your inbox be so cluttered with unread spam that you miss out on valuable information nor would you get overly anxious over each text message you get while waiting for that credit alert nor would you be sold a bad joke that could end your relationship.
Now look at the messages in my spam box

Those tiring job interviews I get invited to without even submitting a job application or those messages that want me to subscribe to daily bible quotes when I very much have a bible app that gives me daily bible quotes for free.
Unfortunately for iOS users, the app is only available on Android devices because the OS allows for third-party SMS apps, whereas Apple’s iOS platform doesn’t.
