faceland: Hushpuppi stole $14 million but this fraudulent-CEO stole $4.7 billion (that billion with a B in dollar). His name is Alex Machinski. From dya one, he started the company with the aim to scam and it took them one year to even make an arrest, but thank God the victims might get justice.
This is admirable. You can also try it with Black Solder Fly (BSF), the flies do not have mouth openings and are therefore considered more sterile (safer) and non disease transmitting.
FarmTech: I’m looking forward to do this in a larger scale. Some people travel all the way to Songhai farm, Benin Republic to learn this among other things. Now I’ve tried it and saw the harvest, I strongly believed it will be profitable. Fly is free and everywhere.
FarmTech: After the flies have finished laying their eggs. cover the bowl with something and place under a shaded area. Protect it from ants, lizards, chickens etc. I used chicken wire to cover them and finally cover with zinc. The chicken wire will prevent lizards and the zinc will stop chickens. I placed the growing bowls on a raised platform. The little kerosene I sprayed on the platform will stop ants. In few hours time you’ll see some small maggots. Leave them for 5 days before you harvest.
Harvesting Spread net over a bowl (harvesting bowl).
FarmTech: With the high price of animal feed, growing maggots is beginning to make sense. Maggots come from flies. When flies lay eggs, the eggs pass through several stages before they turn into flies. One of the stages is the maggot stage. You can use the maggot to feed fish, chickens and other animals. I’m targeting fish and chickens but I’ll be starting with chickens.
Growing The Maggots To grow maggot, you need cheap inputs like manure, kitchen waste and sawdust or rice hull. I mixed rice hull with manure (my layers’ droppings) in a bowl (let’s call this growing bowl) and added just enough water to make it moist but not wet. I then mix thoroughly and placed some kitchen waste on this mixture to attract a lot of flies. You can use soup, fruits or anything that will attract a lot of flies. I used my dog’s leftover garri balls mixed with soup.
OBJANDIBB: At the start of 2013, Rimasauska registered a company in Latvia called Quanta Computer, which is identical in name to that of a Hardware manufacturing company from Taiwan. A bit suspicious, right?
Then, over a period of two years, he repeatedly sent invoices (complete with fraudulent stamps, signatures, and a very large amount of corporate and legal jargon) to google and Facebook for products from his fake company that he had never sold. Sounds like a pretty stupid idea. Surely a company with some of the best legal and financial minds would just discard these fake invoices?
Well, as you probably guessed, they did not. Seemingly without questioning it, two of the biggest tech giants around transferred millions and millions to Rimasauka. He’d keep sending them fake invoices, and they would always pay up. Eventually, Rimasauska racked up a lot of cash, taking $23 million from Google and $99 million from Facebook.[b][/b]
He didn't stay rich for long though. Almost inevitably, people soon caught on to him, and he is now spending five years behind bars for wire fraud.
People will always associate financial fraud with large scale, complicated and elaborate schemes — perhaps hacking into servers, or stealing confidential documents. But the interesting thing about this case is it shows that huge companies can still fall victim to such simplistic methods.
CommentatorPro: Nigeria is a country blessed with talent, resources, and resilience — yet it continues to struggle under the weight of bad leadership, corruption, and poor governance. From unreliable electricity to the rising cost of living, it sometimes feels like every sector is crying out for help.
Now imagine this: you suddenly become the President of Nigeria — but only for one week. You have full control to make key decisions, sign executive orders, and implement reforms. No bureaucracy, no political godfathers — just seven days to make a difference.
What would you fix first?
Would you focus on the economy, to bring down the price of food and fuel? Would you tackle security, ensuring that citizens can travel freely without fear of bandits or kidnappers? Or maybe you’d go straight to education, reviving schools, paying teachers well, and making universities work again?
Some Nigerians say they would start by cutting government salaries and reducing the cost of governance. Others believe the first step should be arresting corrupt politicians and recovering looted funds. A few even argue that constitutional reform is the only real solution to Nigeria’s endless cycle of problems.
Whatever your opinion, one thing is clear — most Nigerians know exactly what they want fixed; they just haven’t had the power to do it.
So, let’s hear from you If you had just one week as Nigeria’s President, with total authority to act, what’s the first thing you’d change and why?
Abagworo: Majority Eko followed by Ogu and they aren't Yoruba tribes. There were Yoruba tribes but not enough to declare it a Yoruba traditional city. In a nutshell Lagos had indigenous multicultural and multiethnic outlook from time immemorial.
Your post here as a non-Yoruba person is largely FALSE in the first and second sentences. The land of EKO before 1900 simply refers to Eko Island (Lagos Island and NOT the much BIGGER Lagos State which ONLY came into existence on May 27, 1967) was and still is a traditional ethnic Yoruba Island as can be seen from the full census figures right on Page 1 of this NL thread with each subgroup of the Yorubas from the Ekos to the fuller Awori (which the Ekos are part of) to the Ijesas, the Ekitis, the Ijebus, the Egbas, the Oyos, etc, who are ALL Yoruba subgroups.
The name "EKO" as referenced in the census figured of 1891 simply refers to a subgroup of the larger Yoruba who are the REAL indigenous people of Eko Island. Although there are some historical links between Eko and the Benin Kingdom royalty as well being of Ile Ife origins (as even STRONGLY affirmed by the Ogiamien family of Benin and the Usen people of Ovia South West LGA of Edo State who affirm in videos online that they are Yorubas from Ile Ife being that Oranmiyan's OLDER brother Prince Afelogiyan was the FIRST traditional ruler of USEN then known as Ife Kekere) with the ending of the Ogiso era, BUT those of Benin descent have been subsumed into the larger Awori (Eko) lineages as Eko-Yorubas.
The EKO people are part of the larger Awori people who extend to Ogun State and are the ORIGINAL land owners. The popular White Cap Chiefs (they are officially called IDEJOS in the Yoruba language) of Lagos Island are the REAL land owners of EKO and they are the direct descendants of Olofin Ogunfunminire who was one of the Ile-Ife Princes and he migrated from Ile Ife over 700 years under the guidance of Ifa divination till he arrived in Isheri and then Ido Island in the present Lagos State and he further shared the lands of Eko Island for farming pepper and other settlement purposes among his many male children. The King or Oba of Eko is known as the "Eleko of Eko."
The Ogus are historically related to the Yorubas ancestrally because the Ogus evolved as a result of the further ancestral MIX of Yorubas and Fon from the era of the Oyo Empire. This is why the Oba of Ajase (Porto Novo) which is one of the Yoruba-speaking cities and towns in Benin Republic told the veteran Nigerian film maker 'Tunde Kelani in his brilliant documentary on the history of Ajase (Porto Novo) which is still on YouTube that the Yorubas in the 1800s welcomed the Ogus to live with them in Ajase (Porto Novo) [which is part of the larger Yorubaland located in Benin Republic] BECAUSE they are relatives.
It's the same way that the Fon people of Benin Republic also ancestrally evolved from a MIX of Yoruba and Aja people of Benin Republic and Togo.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu arrives Plateau state to attend the funeral prayers in honour of Nana Lydia Yilwatda Goshwe, mother of the APC National Chairman, Professor Nantewe YilwatdaGoshwe.
Mr President later addressed Church Leaders across the North at the headquarters of the COCIN Church in Jos.
"Hate is not an option for us. I inherited Islam from my parents and haven't changed, but my wife is a pastor. She prays for me, and there's no conflict. I have never tried to convince her to convert."
Judolisco: then stop using Christian invention... Stop using d Internet, phones, when u want to go for hajj, use camel and pass through the desert, don't board a plane, Christians invented it..... when u go to the hospital for an emergency ask for only Muslim doctors..... Yeye!
You used dialectics there to counter the other guy's post, however the manufactured products you listed above are NOT considered Christian inventions in a vastly liberal Western society we live in today.
INFACT many of these folks involved in "research and development" OR "product design" in the Western countries consider themselves as non-church goers or irreligious in the face of dwindling attendance in Western churches. It's mainly the elderly that attend those orthodox religion churches these days.
AntiChristian: Those families with Muslim husbands and Christian wives usually have the home tilting towards Christianity as most men are not sound Islamically than the wife in Christianity!
I can never marry a Christian! And it's haram to force a Christian to Islam because of marriage! Also you mustn't help Christians in any matters of their religion!
Any help in matters of Christianity is disobedience to your own religion!
Nnamz: Na una I dey ask am for not me. I'm going back to school in September to do my masters and don't plan to invest for the next two years. You are welcome!
Newsline09: If anyone had told me before now that Igboland would denigrate to the point of cannibalism all in the quest for self determination, I would curse anyone with such thoughts and perception about my people.
If anyone had informed that we would be capable of creating what we cannot control or regulate, I would invoke the wrath of the gods upon them.
Today, ala Igbo burns and yet we still pretend and play politics over the destructions, killings, bloodsheds, human barbecue and cannibalism.
Parts of Imo state and Anambra State are no longer livable due to the menace and atrocities of the criminals enlisted as Eastern Security Networks, armed wing of the proscribed IPOB as founded by Nnamdi Kanu.
Many of these ESN were those who escaped from prison and other never do wells.
They have turned the South East into a war zone and people are being killed and fed upon with others kidnapped.
The evil going on in Orsu and Ihiala are less reported.
dtnaira3: Today I undertake an expedition to explore the only ancient man-made cave in Nigeria that was inhabited by the earlier humans or homo sapiens in this part of the world. The cave is dug in sandstone escarpment, numbering about 59. Some are interconnected, while others are just single. The entrance diameter is 0.5m, the chamber diameter is 2.5m and the roof height is 1.1m.
elyonchee: You will have to obtain a Teachers Registration Council Certificate before you register a school, training center, academy or institute.

GreenAcres: Apparently[b], you are applying to register a company that is in a specialized field.[/b] For instance if you are applying for a pharmaceutical company, you might need to show a pharmacy qualification or license. If you are registering an hospital for instance again, you might need a registration certificate from the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria.
So, what company are you registering, so we may guide you further. Your question is vague, but I made some assumptions in answering you. Please give more details
cedricksly: lol if u put a special word in the business name registration, eg "abcd hospitality Consultancy services," the special word there is Consultancy, so you would have to provide any document to show you can actually be a consultant in hospitality, examples of such document would include your hospitality management certificate or qualifications, maybe an hospitality association certificate or workshop certificate., etc, just any document to show you can actually be a consultant. It is just like trying to register a law firm with CAC and you include something like legal solicitors, and you expect them not to Ask you for proof that you really a solicitor or in the legal field?? Else anybody can claim anything to register a business with CAC??.. If you provide me the business name you are trying to use, I can actually advise you on where the issue lies ans kind of documents you cna provide them...
