Uber

The major operational base for Uber is its taxi hailing mobile app. In cities where Uber operates, you can use the rider app to request a ride. When a nearby Uber driver accepts your request, the app displays an estimated time of arrival for the driver heading to your pickup location. Your app notifies you when the Uber driveris about to arrive.

The app also provides info about the driver with whom you will ride, including first name, vehicle type, and license plate number. This info helps both rider and driver connect at your pickup location.
Use your app to enter your preferred destination any time before or during the ride. If you have a preferred route, it’s helpful to talk through the directions together with your Uber driver.

When you arrive at your destination and exit the vehicle, the trip ends. Your fare is automatically calculated and charged to the payment method you’ve selected for your trip. In some cities, Uber allows you to pay your fare in cash. This option must however be selected before you request a ride.

Immediately your trip ends, your app will request you to rate your driver from 1 to 5 Stars. Drivers are also required to rate riders accordingly. Uber’s feedback system is designed to foster a community of respect and accountability for everyone on every trip.

Workclick

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has released the President of Masters Energy Oil and Gas Limited, Mr. Uche Ogah who was invited today by EFCC at the Lagos Magistrate Court in Tinubu.

Ogah was invited by officials of the EFCC after the Nigeria Police withdrew the forgery allegation against him on the ground that the charge against him was preferred hastily without evidence.

Ogah's Lawyer, Mr. Monday Ubani in a statement said his client was released unconditionnally few hours after he made his statement to EFCC.

Ubani said that the commission was influenced into carrying out the embarrassing invitation of his client based on false information by the petitioner.

According to Ubani, the complainant in the forgery charge against his client, one Mrs. Bridget Adeosun had forwarded the same petition which she sent to the police to the EFCC and misinformed the commission on a lot of issues.

The statement by Ubani states: " The invitation of my client, Uche Ogah by officials of the EFCC this morning at the premises of Tinubu Magistrate, Lagos to say the least is the most shocking turn of event in an over five months trial over a trumped up charge.
"In vindication of my clients innocence, the police prosecution this morning informed the court of his intention to discontinue the forgery charge against my client. Accordingly, the presiding magistrate, Mrs Kikelomo Ayeye struct out the charges and discharged him.

"Just as my client was stepping outside the court, officials of the EFCC invited him and took him to their office.
"At the EFCC office, we were confronted with a petition written by same Mrs Adeosun who coincidentally is also the complainant in the forgery charge that was earlier struck out by the magistrate court.

" We presented the same submission we made before the police to the EFCC which is that the subject matter in the forgery allegation bothers on a pure business transaction which my client had with Mrs Adeosun. We showed the commission's officials documents about the business transaction and agreements reached by parties in the business. The Efcc were shocked that these documents were never given to them where she received her payments.

" After reviewing our presentation, EFCC officials asked my against my client to go home and come back another day to have interview with the petitioner. According to Mr. Ubani the allegation is baseless, fallacious and full of lies. My client was immediately cleared to go home.

" The fact remains that Uche Ogah has been cleared of any allegation of forgery. The police has seen the fact, the court delivered its verdict and the EFCC has also taken the appropriate action by releasing him after he was wrongfully invited.

" We are not unaware of the political maneuvering aimed at ensuring that my client's hard-earned reputation is dented by every means possible. However, our confidence in the judiciary and the ability of our law enforcement official remains unwavering knowing that they will do the right thing at all times." Politicians in Abia behind this has failed completely and shamelessly.

A Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja yesterday struck out an N80m land theft charge filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC against business woman Mrs Moji Yakubu and nine other persons.

Mrs Yakubu along with her company, Monan Trading Company Limited and eight others were charged by the commission for allegedly stealing 10 hectares of land at Sagotedo, Lekki which belongs to one Joko Trade Estate Resources Limited.

Those charged along with her includes; Chief Muka Bajulaiye, Alhaja Ajimot Adisa, Alani Shirawu, Bajulaiye Hakeem, Akeem Giwa, Rachael Tokede, Adelaja Raji and Nuniru Mushafau.

The EFCC in an 11 count charge had alleged that the defendants forged several documents to facilitate the alleged theft.

The defendants pleaded not guilty to the charge annd were granted bail by the court.

Before the commencement of the trial, counsel to Mrs Yakubu, Yemi Adeshina filed an application before the court seeking an order to quash the charges against his client on the ground that they were incompetent.

In the application, Adeshina contended amongst other things that the charge against his client was an abuse of court process as his client has not committed any crime known to law.

The EFCC in a counter motion however insisted that there is sufficient evidence for the defendants to stand trial.
Ruling on the application, Justice Oluwatoyin Ipaye upheld the submissions of the defense and struck out the 11 count charges against all the defendants.

The judge ruled that from the prove of evidence before her, the EFCC failed to established a prima facie case against all the defendants.

That fellow olaoreawofele should be wary because he may have fallen victim to real land scam. Am sure he is aware of the latest development on the matter where the judge again blasted EFCC for their desperation and for running to another court to obtain a forfeiture order in a matter that is before her. http://sunnewsonline.com/judge-blasts-efcc-lawyer-over-professional-misconduct/ . He should try and attend court on September 14 when the ruling will be delivered.

The Second Vice President of Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Mr. Monday Onyekachi Ubani has appealed to wealthy Nigerians to support the less privileged in the society.

Ubani made the appeal on Saturday during the launch of his foundation, Onyekachi Ubani Foundation in Lagos.

Ubani said that the society will continue to breed miscreants if those who are wealthy do not come to the assistant to the poor and less privileged in the society

“The consequences of not being our Brother's Keeper is what bred Boko Haram; it is currently breeding other societal miscreants all over the place. God knows what else, what next, where else, when next the next terror will hit us. The danger is growing within; it is drawing nearer and nearer to our door step, just as the storm gathers.

”The Good news is that we can avert the next crisis, contain and correct the current crisis today. All we need to do is to extend a hand of help with a heart of love, however little, to that next door neighbor, or stranger seeking your assistance,” he said.

Ubani noted that he has been in the daily struggled to help the poor in the society but that there is a limit to how many people he can help with his limited resources.

“There is a limit to how many Nigerians a Good Samaritan with limited resources can help, but I am convinced that if I get your support in your capacity as an empowered Nigerian, together we can create a system that will lift majority of Nigerians, young and old, out of poverty and hunger. It takes just a little more creative thinking and brainstorming to build that enabling structure outside of the box.

“This is why I have come out to appeal for your support on the platform of the Onyekachi Ubani Foundation to help save millions of Nigerians out of the indignity of want, lack, hunger and deprivation,” he said.

Ubani stated that his foundation has laid out plans and projects contained in its founding document which includes; Youth Literacy Initiative, Youth Creativity and Media Forum, Men of Standard and Women of Substance.

In a keynote address, General Overseer of Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, said that the Nigerian society promotes corruption through a warped expectation and demand culture.

The Pastor who was represented by Mr Segun Oloketuyi, the Managing Director of Wema Bank Plc said: “The society further corrupts the system through a warped expectation and demand culture.

“A constituency that expects monetary handouts as support during elections in place of laws that facilitate good governance, has already created an atmosphere for corruption and ineptitude where the power of recall for poor performance is never activated.

“The corruption problem in the Nigerian system is a people and expectation problem. It is created through the supply of people of questionable character to the political decision-making system from the citizenry.”

Bakare, in his address, blamed the corrupt expectation and demand culture as the main cause for the attitude of impunity of corrupt individuals.

Bakare, however, noted that Nigerians are not essentially corrupt by giving instances of the airport cleaner who found and returned N12million to its rightful owner and President Muhammadu Buhari's public declaration to be incorruptible which has been unchallenged.

He also cited examples of Nigerians who have rejected mouth-watering morally bankrupt pecuniary offers.

Earlier, during his address of welcome, President Muhammadu Buhari commended the vision of the foundation.

Speaking through his spokesperson, Mr Femi Adeshina, President Buhari said “It is significant that the foundation is dedicated to helping the poor and needy in the society and also to celebrate those who made our country proud with virtuous acts.”

Commending the keynote address of Bakare, the President said “I am very pleased that the foundation launch will be marked by a public lecture, which topic focuses on one of the things dearest to the heart of this administration which is the anti-corruption war. I look forward to details of the address.”

I don't usually make comment on public issues on social platform but am move to say a few things on this Monan issue due to the stack ignorance and propaganda I see here.

As a journalist covering the purported arraignment of Moji Yakubu before Justice Ipaye of the Lagos High Court, Ikeja I believe I am conversant with the facts of this matter.

Without prejudiced to the matter before the court, I believe the EFCC is acting out someone's script. When this matter first came up, I and my colleagues widely reported the arraignment. On the return date however we became curious when the trial judge asked for clarification on the charge and surprisingly the EFCC lawyer could not offer simply explanation.

One of the charges indicated that the 10hectare land was stolen. This is strange in law because land is immovable. One can only trespass on a piece of land. Even when it was obvious that the commission in a haste to rush to court had made mistakes, shockingly the EFCC lawyer insisted that the land was stolen. The judge subsequently asked to be addressed so moto on the issue. This was widely reported. The issue is awaiting the ruling of the court.

Another pointer that there is more to this mater than meets the eye, was when the EFCC suspiciously placed a ban on Monan bank account without even obtaining any court order to do so. They just wrote the bank and it was done. But the court again blasted the commission for that action and lifted the ban on all Monan account.

The much awaited ruling on this matter has since suffered several adjournments due to the court's tight schedules.

My guess is that the EFCC knew that the ruling will never favor them so instead of seeking this temporary furfieture order before the trial court, they ran to another court and obtained this order.

We await to see what will happen when this issue is brought before Justice Ipaye. Am sure she will trash the commission again.

My guess is that the person who posted this forfieture pictures is as mischievous as the EFCC on this matter. I wont rule out invested interest here.

While not holding brief for anyone here, I believe the EFCC is playing out a script and the end will surely make an interesting piece.
