supposed to be sent to you automatically. Are you sure your data is on ?

I agree with your observation and analysis. But the situation of things pertaining to corruptions cases made me think about going extremely tough on the thieves.

let me allow you in on a secret, there's NO CORRUPTION WAR GOING ON quote me anywhere. The only thing happening now is that the administration as a new government is consolidating it's hold on power by ruffling feathers of those powerful enough to cause it problems. Right now it's only negotiations and compromises that are taking place, these people (APC/PDP leadership) are all club members who know where they meet. I can say it to Buhari's face that if he really really needed convictions, the incriminating documents are already on his table even his own case files from his tenure in the military as minister etc. Do not underestimate even the police that we ridicule here everyday talk less of the DSS. We should only support this administration for the peace of this nation but not unto turning into a tyrant/dictatorship

APC zombies food don set please come and cry

Only for the same Ibori to be convicted of 15 out of 18 charges in the UK !!! Thank you for this perfect example that highlights what is wrong with Nigeria and why Buhari must be *ahem* 'innovative' to bring looters to book. The tragedy is that Nigerians are now appearing a fraudlulent people before the world , to the extent the German President had to wade in and urge us to 'get on with it', because it seems it is the same people impoverished by the looting of Dasuki, Metuh, Tompolo et al who are now holding brief for those characters. Buhari has his work cut out for him and I can see why he made the comment about Nigerians being viewed as criminals. No non-Nigerian will come to Nairaland, view our comments and not leave believing most of us are comfortable with and even supportive of the corruption killing our nation.

We have not exhausted the law on recovery of looted wealth of Nigeria. I am in support of using illegal means to recover our money from the rogues.
It's worst for the people who are being deprived of the goodies illegally than using illegal means to take our wealth back.
Court of law is a playing ground for the big thieves. So the best way sometimes are not the best thing
Let us apply some crude law enforcement to get our money.

I understand what you mean but the reason why we practice the rule of law is so that we don't turn into a lawless society. In this case if a govt decides to use "illegal means" to fight corruption, it could quickly lead to despotism in the sense that the term and scope of "illegality" hasn't and cannot be clearly defined . You'll therefore create an extremely powerful tyrant (think Idi Amin, Mussolini, Hitler et al) who'll use the garb of corruption fighting to haunt down and most certainly kill opponents and ANY other dissenting voice. Now the onus is on we the citizenry to ask for judicial reforms and empowerment of the anti corruption agencies to fast track corruption cases. Reforms should also include commensurate punishments for different levels of corruption. This is a no brainer

OrlandoOwoh:
The same "legal options" that thieves use as lacunae?

have they been exhausted ?

OrlandoOwoh:
The Singapore we commend today and wish to visit was once like Nigeria. It took Lee Khuan Yew some illegal means, means that were not conventional, to reform the country.

you're dancing round my question. I asked have the legal options available to Nigeria been exhausted ? The circumstances Lee operated in from the 1950s into the early 2000s are not feasible in modern democracies either in Nigeria or any other part of the world. If you're serious about nabbing treasury looters then do things in the proper way, there's already a provision for that. If the provisions are not enough, the constitution can be amended. We're not in a military regime and we'll never go back that route

tuale4u:
Germany did it. Today it is d richest country in Europe. His advises was base on experience of germany.

America do it alot too. Through illegal spies. And today America is great.

I asked if legal options have been exhausted and not who did what. It's pretty easy getting things like this sorted out with convictions to boot legally and not this present charade going on.

And I thought twitter Orubebe was going to get that position

tuale4u:
desperate times require desperate measures

and have the legal options available been exhausted ? Be careful what you support or advocate

Im sad not because of the money but because I never thought I could ever get defrauded and even if I will be defrauded, not in d manner this happened, because mehn it was just too cheap.

I have a bb and a Lumia fone, I usually subscribe my bb den hotspot my Lumia, but I got to a place with poor network and I needed to takia of alot of things online and I got to understand MTN network is good around here. So I resulted to buying data, I remember a friend bought data once from someone and I saved the number just incase.

So I checked my fone and luckily I saw it, I contacted the guy, he quickly sent me an image showing different packages on Whatsapp, so I opted for the one of 1500 for 2gig, I told him I cant send recharge dat he shld send his bank details but he gave me an excuse and said I can transfer so I immediately loaded my fone through mobile banking and sent, only for him to call apologizing dat he just discovered all dats left is a 4gig package dat will xpire in 60days, dat he's very sorry dat I shld pls kindly send anoda 1500, I got angry and still sent d 1500, since I will be staying here for a while and Mtn being d only good network, I still didn't get any data, it was wen I called again to challenge him dat d whole thing bcam clear dat its all scam when he started saying I shld send anoda 1500.

Im just sharing dis for everyone to beware of so called online data sellers. Most of Dem are fraudsters.

The fone number 08147631591, bbm pin 59093EBD.....He calls himself Mr Kay.

Beware

I understand how you feel, it's a risk you took. Maybe he'll give you your order and maybe he won't it's only God who can judge man. I've bought data from lots of resellers and I've never been scammed once even without calling them. For safety reasons though, next time buy mtn 4.5gb @ 2,500 naira. It carries me a month even on my Lumia phone.

Aye aye

those things you mentioned are only done by criminals, I don't know about the op o but as for me, #I'maNigeriannotaacriminal

Even Tinubu will shout TUFIAKWA to Buhari if he decides to contest again. Fighting corruption can be done side by side with steering the economy, Nigeria is being run by a rudderless govt right now

The funny tin is dat I am not into media or politics. Neither am I a member of any political party. I am just a Nigerian who wants the d best for my country.

Starting Wednesday, Feb. 10, Twitter users will login to find several tweets from the past few hours that Twitter thinks they are most likely to interact with. Below that, they'll see the traditional timeline in reverse chronological order. (Reuters)

Well, Twitter fans. The apocalypse has come. Twitter's reordered timeline is here.

And it's, um, not so bad, actually. In a company blog post, Twitter engineering manager Mike Jahr said that "important" messages can now be more or less pinned to the top of your timeline, a design that's meant to make sure that you see the messages that matter most when you log in.

Plus -- and this is important -- the new timeline order can be turned off. Users interested in having a few recommended messages pulled out of their stream will be able to head into their Settings menu and choose an option that says, "Show me the best Tweets first." If you decide it's not showing you what you want, you can turn it off.

[Twitter isn’t Facebook, but Wall Street expects it to be. That’s a problem.]

The new timeline is an option only in Twitter's iOS and Android apps and on the Web, meaning clients such as TweetDeck are not affected.

So how does Twitter determine what's an important message and what isn't? According to a company help page, Twitter chooses which messages should be reordered by looking at elements such as the "accounts you interact with most" and "Tweets you engage with." Messages will still be recent, Jahr said, and other messages will still appear under the pinned tweets in reverse chronological order.

Even if you do have the feature turned on, reloading your stream will let you see new tweets in the normal reverse-chronological order. "At any point, just pull-to-refresh to see all new Tweets at the top in the live, up-to-the-second experience you already know and love," Jahr wrote.

[Twitter says it’s shut down more than 125,000 accounts promoting ISIS since mid-2015]

According to Jahr's post, the feature has already prompted people who've tested it to "Retweet and Tweet more, creating more live commentary and conversations, which is great for everyone."

The rollout of this feature comes as Twitter has been feeling pressure from investors and advertisers who'd like to see the network be friendlier to new users who may find its fast-flowing streams overwhelming. Being able to get some grasp on what is or is not important could help make the site more accessible.

The company is also highlighting the new timeline's value to advertisers. In its advertising blog, the company emphasized that brands can use the "important message" feature to more effectively reach their account's followers. "Today, we're launching an improved timeline to help people see Tweets that are important to them — from their favorite athletes, musicians, politicians, or brands," wrote product marketing manager Eric Farkas.



The option to turn the feature on should roll out to all users Wednesday. Jahr's post said the company will be turning the feature on for everyone in the "coming weeks."

And don't worry, you will know when the new timeline is turned on for your account. "Look out for a notification in your timeline," Jahr wrote.
