WordPress Core version 4.8.2 has just been released. This is a minor update and a security release which means that your sites will update automatically within the next 24 hours unless you have disabled auto updates.

The update includes a fix to $wpdb->prepare() to help protect against SQLi injection attacks. WordPress core is not vulnerable to SQLi injection attacks directly, but certain plugins and themes may be vulnerable depending on how they use the $wpdb->prepare() function in their code. This fix alone is reason to update immediately to 4.8.2.

The release fixes five cross site scripting vulnerabilities. These are in:

oEmbed discovery
The visual editor
The plugin editor
In template names

Two path traversal vulnerabilities were fixed. These are:

In the file unzipping code
In the customizer

An open redirect was also fixed on the user and term editing screens. 4.8.2 also includes 6 maintenance fixes.

Now that the existence of these vulnerabilities is public, it becomes much more likely that they will be exploited. It is very important that you update as soon as possible to 4.8.2.

To update manually now you can sign into your WordPress site, mouse over the Dashboard on the top left and click ‘Updates’ and complete the update process.

Please share this information with the rest of the community to ensure everyone updates in a timely fashion. Thanks.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) today released an amended timetable and schedule of activities for the recall of Senator Dino Melaye, who represents the Kogi West Senatorial District.

According a statement signed by the Commission’s Secretary, Mrs. Augusta Ogakwu, the verification notice to kickstart the exercise will be issued on 3rd October. The last day for observers to submit their applications is 5th October, while the published list of accredited observes will be released on 9th October.

A stakeholder’s meeting at both the senatorial and local government headquarters will hold on 10th October, while 12th October is the last day for the submission of names of polling agents by the member sought to be recalled and the representatives of the petitioners. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the actual verification will be conducted on 14th October.

Mrs. Ogakwu noted that in fixing the timeline for the verification, sufficient time has been provided for the Senator to study the petition and accompanying materials, in order to effectively prepare for the verification exercise, in accordance with the order of the Federal High Court, Abuja.

It will be recalled that some registered voters from the Kogi West Senatorial District had approached the Commission on 21st June, 2017 and submitted a petition to initiate the process of recalling the Senator representing their district. After formally acknowledging receipt of the petition, and relying on Sections 69 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) and Section 116 of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended), the Commission announced the timetable and schedule of activities for the recall of the Senator on 3rd July. The first activity in the schedule, slated for 10th July, was the release of detailed guidelines for the recall, starting with the pasting of the Notice of Verification at the Kogi West Constituency (INEC Office in Lokoja).

https://news.assure.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/INEC-to-resume-Melaye%E2%80%99s-recall-exercise-Oct-3-Releases-Official-Timetable-Photos.jpg

But on the same 10th July, the Commission received an order given by the Federal High Court, Abuja and dated 6th July, directing the “parties to maintain the status quo till the determination of the plaintiff’s motion on notice” in respect of the suit filed by the concerned senator, seeking orders of injunction against the Commission to stop it from acting on the petition by the registered voters of Kogi West Senatorial District.

https://news.assure.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/INEC-to-resume-Melaye%E2%80%99s-recall-exercise-Oct-3-Releases-Official-Timetable-Photos1.jpg

The Judge, in granting the relief sought by the Senator, also fixed 29th September 2017 as the date to hear the motion on notice. However, the 90-day framework established by the Constitution for the entire process to be completed would have elapsed.

https://news.assure.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/INEC-to-resume-Melaye%E2%80%99s-recall-exercise-Oct-3-Releases-Official-Timetable-Photos2.jpg

Having realised that the court order and its implications would negatively affect its ability to carry out its constitutional mandate, the Commission took immediate steps to vacate the court order and for the matter to be heard and determined expeditiously, while staying action on the process in compliance with the court order. Judgment in the suit was delivered on 11th September 2017, clearing all legal hurdles.

NO FRACAS BETWEEN NUJ ABIA STATE AND SOLDIERS ON PATROL IN UMUAHIA

https://news.assure.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Exercise-Python-Dance-II-Releases-Dedicated-Public-Cell-Phone-Numbers-1.jpg

The attention of 14 Brigade Nigerian Army, has been drawn to social media publications alleging that troops on patrol in Umuahia town have invaded the NUJ Press Centre in Umuahia at about 10.00am today.

While it was true there was an issue between some soldiers on routine patrol, the magnitude is not as was reported. What happened was that while the soldiers on patrol near the Abia State NUJ Secretariat, they noticed some people filming them. Unfortunately, they seized and damaged their recording devices; an iPad and 2 mobile phones. Preliminary investigation shows that the items belongs to journalists on their legitimate duties. Consequently, the Commander 14 Brigade and Deputy Director Army Public Relations 82 Division waded into the matter which has since been resolved amicably.

In addition, the soldiers involved will face disciplinary action.

The public are please requested to eschew rumour mongering and go about their lawful business.

MEMO TO THE PRESIDENT

https://news.assure.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Doyin-Okupe-1.jpg

Your Excellency,
You are welcome back from your long sojourn outside the country on account of your illness. Many, including those around you, and others currently felicitating with you had given up on you and actually started working on plans based on their assumption that you were not likely to come back alive.

In truth, for which you can bear witness yourself, God Almighty snatched you from the jaws of death. This was not because you were president, or the millions you spent, or the extra competence of your doctors; since great people succumb to death, even in the UK and despite their medical expertise.

You survived purely by the mercy of God, the creator of all flesh. That is why I was surprised that on your return, you thought it was more important to satisfy the demand of those who did not wish you well, or derided you for your ill-health. Your Excellency, what you needed to do, and you should still do, is to show appreciation to God who preserved your life and kept you alive against all evil expectations.

On your instruction sir, glory must be given to God Almighty. All mosques should praise and thank God on your behalf on a chosen Friday. You may participate in this with family and close associates in the Villa Mosque. Your vice can lead a thanksgiving service at the Villa and this can be done throughout the country on the Sunday that follows.

God has brought you back for a purpose; pray to know that purpose and ask for health and strength to achieve it. As our leader, and a God-fearing nation, let us begin to acknowledge God in our national affairs, so that He may direct and prosper our ways. However, in your long absence, a lot has happened in the country. The country is in dire straits economically and sharply divided like never before; geopolitically and also along religious lines.

Your broadcast has not helped. But you are an elected president and you can broadcast to the nation as many times as you deem fit if you feel there is a need to make certain corrections in the previous broadcast. You don’t even have to go through the elaborate and strenuous route of the LIVE TV broadcasts because of your health.

I know that your last 6 minutes broadcast may have taken 1 hour or more to get it right. You can achieve more in radio broadcasts which you can actually do weekly from the comfort of your home; with the least stress.

This way, you can talk to the nation less formally and from your heart, on your perspectives, your vision and dreams, your hopes and plans for its teeming masses. People will concentrate more on your message than your person. Ronald Regan and Obama used this broadcast tool most effectively with a positive impact on the citizens.

I am not one of your fans or avid supporters. In fact, I did all I could to stop you from becoming an elected president. I have no regrets. It was a competition, in which I had my own candidate, but God and the people of Nigeria have decided in your favour and as far as I am concerned, the matter has been long settled.

However, your Excellency, you and your administration have so much to accomplish but unfortunately, the time is now very short. The presidential elections are in February 2019. That is barely 18 months away.

However, by June/July next year (just 10 months away), activities of government wind down and the nation goes into full swing mode of politicking and preparing for the February elections. Based on the above, I respectfully submit for your considerations the following agenda:

1. Adopt Obama’s SURGE approach to deal decisively with Boko Haram. When Obama’s administration was winding down, he wanted to end the Iraqi military quagmire. Knowing he had little time, he and his generals decided on the SURGE operation.

We can do the same.

a. Presently there are about 10,000 foot soldiers in the North East. Over the next 90 days, we can increase this to 30,000. This will militarily saturate the theatre of war with a potential to smoke out the insurgents.

b. From my limited knowledge of military engagements, I observed that the air force is a very effective combatant arm in this forests based guerilla attack modeled operation of the Boko Haram. We obviously do not have the air capability we need to effectively decimate the ‘hide outs’ of the insurgents. We also do not have the time or the money to acquire them.

However, we can approach the French to lease fighter jets under acceptable terms. It is not any national shame or dishonor. If the war in North East were to be in Europe, the western allies would have come together, combine their forces and deal with the situation.

c. Let government put a lot of money on harnessing ground intelligence by recruiting and deploying more members of the civilian JTF.

d. Finally, a re-awakening and re-invigorating of regional military cooperation in the region will be of a tremendous help.

Not much of this has been heard of since your government came into power.

Nigeria can fight, but cannot win this war alone without the cooperation of its neighbours.

2. INFRASTRUCTURE.
This administration has a maximum of 16-18 months of rain free period for active construction.

Government must carefully select 1 or 2 major road projects that can be completed within the next 18 months in each zone.

In the South West, Lagos-Ibadan expressway is the star project and it can be completed within 18 months. In terms of funding, government may either borrow or revert urgently to the financial model of PPP that existed prior to your administration’s takeover.

The East West road can also be completed, while the work on the 2nd Niger Bridge can be more seriously attended to.

Similar projects in the 3 zones in the North can also be identified and executed within this same period.

3. POWER.
The nation has an installed capacity of 10,000MW; FACT. We presently avail ourselves between 2000-6000MW depending on gas supply situation and grid transmission stability.

The time left is not enough to procure more generating potentials. What will be expedient will be:

a. To do everything possible to attain our potential of generating and distributing 10,000MW.

b. To urgently attend to the archaic and decaying transmission infrastructure which itself may not be able to handle the 10,000MW if fully deployed. This is also achievable.

4. Enact policies that do not require government’s commitments, efforts or financing, but that will ease the life of the citizens.
These policies will cover such areas as education, health, power, commerce and industry. For example, we can add up to 5000MW to the national grid just by changing the PPP licensing policy.

Let the NERC increase from 1MW to 5MW the categories of private power producers who will not require licensing.

Also the burden of financing the health sector of the nation can be reduced by a new policy that expands the scope of the NHIS.

Lastly, life can be made easier for parents and students in the universities, by the establishment of an education bank that gives loans secured by future certificate of students, for tuition, books and feeding while in school and many more.

5. Socio-Political Considerations
Your Excellency, you are an elder statesman and a father of the nation. Father to the GOOD and father to the BAD. There are socio-political inequalities and injustices in this nation. To ignore them or use force to suppress them will not help. History shows that when agitations are real and genuine, it is just a matter of time, they will eventually be resolved; either positively or negatively to the detriment of the nation.

Biafra, restructuring, devolution of power, resource control, etc are like chloroquine tablets or dongoyaro. They are bitter but they need to be swallowed if one must treat the debilitating illness called MALARIA.

Government must therefore listen and dialogue with agitators, dissenters, the civil societies and aggrieved geopolitical groups. There are genuine fears corroborated by clinically evident actions and inactions of government and/or its agencies that need to be addressed.

Some of these issues may be difficult for you to handle in your present state of health, but human resources abound with you to assist in discharging such onerous responsibilities. Your vice is able, intelligent and vibrant. There are former presidents, leaders and respectable statesmen, who can traverse the length and breadth of the country on your behalf to handle intricate situations.

Lastly, Mr President, if you must leave an ending legacy for yourself and your administration, you will have to increase and widen the scope of your consultations nationally and be prepared to adopt and employ new approaches in this rapidly changing world.

I pray the almighty God will grant you good health and strength to serve your country and its people.

I wish you well.

Barcelona have confirmed their Twitter account was hacked after a message appeared to announce the signing of Angel Di Maria from Paris Saint-Germain.

https://news.assure.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Angel-di-maria.jpg

The Catalans have featured heavily in this summer's transfer window, notably receiving a world-record fee from PSG for Neymar. And tweets sent from the club's social media account overnight suggested they had been involved in another huge deal.

Before a frenzy was allowed to develop, that was swiftly followed by "Hi FC Barcelona, it's OurMine security group, please contact us and sorry for the hoax!"

https://news.assure.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Barcelona-di-maria.jpg

OurMine security group are a security hacker group who have accessed celebrity internet accounts in the past. And, just after 5am, Barcelona responded to the alleged hoax. "Our accounts have been hacked tonight," a tweet read. "We're working to solve the problem as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience."

The hacking episode comes days after Sky Sports Spanish football expert Guillem Balague revealed Barca had turned their attention to Di Maria after Liverpool's reluctance to sell Philippe Coutinho.

Our accounts have been hacked tonight.
We’re working to solve the problem as soon as possible.
Thanks for your patience.
