.When he was screened by the Senate shortly before his confirmation, Abdulrasheed Bawa, was optimistic that his tenure as the new Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) would leave no stone unturned to go after financial and economic criminals.

At the screening, he shared his ideas and plans with the lawmakers, who were convinced Bawa’s tenure would support the anti-corruption campaign of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration and impact Nigeria’s economy.

Bawa told the Senate, “What I can do differently is leading by example. I have never been in office a minute after 8:00 am except something happens. I will try as much as possible to ensure that I am leading the path.”

Below are Bawa’s plans and strategies to drive EFCC for the next four years:

Media relations

“On the issue of media trial we have a responsibility as a commission to enlighten the public about our activities as a commission. Matters that are in court are already in the public domain. The press has the right to demand for those records and print them.

“So it is not within our control to determine which matter that is in court can be published or not.”

Asset Disposal

“On issues of asset disposal, God willing, will be carried out on case by case basis. As we are concluding a case in court and sequel to court’s judgement, we will go on discharging that asset and I think that will solve most of our problems.”

“If we have proper…, I can tell you that law enforcement will be different in this country. A single case may cost you maybe N20 million. What I believe is proper funding can change the face of law enforcement in this country.”

EFCC Partners

“To our strategic partners around the world, I intend to work with them closely by sharing information in order to attain our mutual and independent objective.

“We need to repatriate all our stolen asset for the benefit and betterment of all Nigerians.”

Youth and governance

Binance

“I am going to give the young people a very good representation in the governance of this country so that more young people will be given more responsibility in this country.

“It is a dream of every patriotic Nigerian to see Nigeria growing to a greater height and I hope and pray that if confirmed, I will live to contribute my quota in seeing that this country is taken to a greater height.”


"By the end of my tenure, I will leave the @officialEFCC a better place." – Abdulrasheed Bawa

— The Nigerian Senate (@NGRSenate) February 24, 2021

Trials

“When it comes to the issues of trial in court, at the end of every investigation, files are sent to the Legal Department to see whether or not the investigation warrants going to court.

“As I said, we are not perfect. I do state here that we have 90 per cent success rate on matters that we have charged to court.”

Digital process

“Anytime @officialEFCC Chairman does mention about recoveries he made, he mentions about everything that covers both public and private sector. I hope God willing, we are going to digitalize the process on everything that we do going forward.”

“We have a full-fledged Directorate of Internal Affairs that police the officers of EFCC. And we will reposition it so that the Directorate will be proactive rather than reactive.”

A lady has reportedly been sacked on her first day of work after asking a manager if ‘she stands a chance with him and can sit on his face’.

Personal development coach and lecturer Dipo Awojide who shared the story, revealed that the girl involved will be paid for one day after getting sacked. He also disclosed that his firm will be advertising the girl’s job soon.

He tweeted;

How can you get fired on the first day of you job? Why are you asking your manager if you can sit on his face? Why?

Update: Just been told they are giving her a second chance. That’s the end of the story I believe, if she doesn’t repeat the behaviour.

Professor Benedict Oramah of the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), Ms. Chinelo Anohu of the Africa Investment Forum, and H.E Wamkele Mene of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and Dean Garfield, Vice President, Public Policy at Netflix will all participate as panelists at a virtual session titled ‘The New Face of African Collaboration’.


Slated for tomorrow Tuesday February 23, 2021 at 6pm, the session hosted by The Africa Soft Power Project brings these leading voices together to discuss the evolution of infrastructure development on the continent and the transformative possibilities that this age of connectivity holds for Africa’s creative industries and knowledge economy.

With the emergence of the first woman and first African leader of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), African global standing has risen particularly at a time when the AfCFTA offers significant transformative opportunities for the continent’s economic growth.

The session which will be moderated by Ben Yedder, Group Publisher & Managing Director, IC Publications, provides a veritable platform to explore the evolution of infrastructure development on the continent (including digital), whilst contextualising the strategic value of expanded trade opportunities to economic advancement and cultural integration in Africa.

The discussion will also explore how legacy reputation issues have hindered Africa’s investment opportunities on the world stage, and how this is now being remedied through soft power plays, as well as physical and digital infrastructure investment.

Yedder, who will lead the fireside and moderate the keynote conversation, will ask the guests to focus on the creative and knowledge sectors while examining how investors can take advantage of the inherent potentials to make Africa more appealing on the global stage.

Airlines in the United States, South Korea and Japan have grounded dozens of Boeing 777 aircraft after one of the jets suffered engine failure Saturday, sending debris crashing down over Denver.

Boeing (BA) on Sunday recommended that airlines stop flying versions of the aircraft that are equipped with Pratt & Whitney 4000-112 engines while US authorities investigate the Denver incident.

The plane manufacturer said that 69 of the 777 jets that are in service are powered by the engine, while 59 such aircraft are in storage.

United Airlines (UAL), Korean Air, Asiana Airlines, All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines (JAPSY) all use Boeing 777s that feature Pratt & Whitney 4000 engines.

what happens in an emergency like United 328
The groundings come after an engine attached to a United-operated 777 plane failed Saturday, just minutes after the Honolulu-bound flight took off from Denver International Airport. As United Flight 328 returned to the airport, it dropped more engine debris through the roofs of homes and into yards.

An initial examination of the Pratt & Whitney PW4077 engine from that flight showed that two fan blades were fractured, according to the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The agency said that the remaining blades exhibited damage "to the tips and leading edges."

The findings are preliminary, but they were still enough to spur some airlines to pull planes that use those types of engines from service. The NTSB said that it will examine the engine, airline and photos and videos taken by passengers on board the flight, along with the flight data and cockpit voice recorders.

Investigators believe a fan blade in the engine came off and took out another blade, a source familiar with the situation told CNN.

Grounded flights
United said Sunday that it would immediately pull 24 planes from flying "out of an abundance of caution." The company said its move was voluntary and temporary and should disrupt only "a small number of customers."

How United Airlines passengers reacted when the plane's engine exploded midair
Japan's transportation ministry, meanwhile, said that it had ordered All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines to ground planes using that series of engines. The ministry said that order applied to 19 Boeing 777s at All Nippon Airways and 13 at Japan Airlines that have Prat & Whitney 4000 engines.

South Korea's Asiana Airlines, which owns nine of the planes, said it would stop using them, too.

The jets are also used by Korean Air. That airline said Monday that it would hold off on making any decision until the country's transport ministry issued guidance.

According to the most recent registry data, the only airlines that operate with the affected engines are in the United States, Japan and South Korea. United is the only US operator with this type of engine in its fleet.

Ongoing investigation
Both Boeing and Pratt & Whitney have said they are cooperating with the US investigation into the Denver incident.

"We are pleased to hear that United Airlines flight 328 returned safely to Denver," Boeing said in a statement. "Boeing technical advisers are supporting the US National Transportation Safety Board with its investigation."

Pratt & Whitney — a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies (RTN) — said it has sent a team to work with investigators looking into the engine failure.

"Pratt & Whitney is actively coordinating with operators and regulators to support the revised inspection interval" of the 4000 engines that power certain 777s," the company said, adding that "any further investigative updates regarding this event will be at the discretion of the NTSB."

The US Federal Aviation Administration on Sunday also issued an emergency order saying it would be stepping up inspections of 777s that use certain Pratt & Whitney 4000 engines.

"We reviewed all available safety data following [the] incident," FAA Administrator Steve Dickson said. "Based on the initial information, we concluded that the inspection interval should be stepped up for the hollow fan blades that are unique to this model of engine, used solely on Boeing 777 airplanes."

A 25-year-old man identified as Kabiru Mohammed was sentenced by a Lagos State Mobile Court in Oshodi on Saturday, Feb 20 to six weeks imprisonment for impersonation and assault.


Mr Mohammed was arrested at the airport area of Lagos, riding a motorcycle painted with the colours of the Nigerian Army uniform and parading himself as a soldier.

Taofeek Adebayo, the spokesperson of the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit (Taskforce), said in a statement that the suspect was arrested along with his commercial motorcycle painted in camouflage after assaulting members of the enforcement team of the agency with other miscreants at Airport Bus-stop along Lagos-Abeokuta Express-way.

The statement reads: “Operatives of the agency were coming from a monitoring and enforcement operation with over 150 impounded motorcycles loaded into three of the Agency’s trucks before the fake Soldier, whose commercial motorcycle was among those impounded on restricted routes, mobilised other miscreants and attacked the team with dangerous weapons such stones, bottles and iron-rod.”

The Chairman of the task force, Shola Jejeloye, explained: “The fake soldier was arrested after the attack and during investigation at our office, it was discovered that he was an impersonator.”

Mohammed was arraigned on three counts bordering on assault, conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace and impersonation. He pleaded guilty to the charges.

Following his plea, Magistrate Adelakun sentenced him to six weeks in jail with an option of a fine of N40,000.

Following the divorce between reality star, Kim Kardashian and rapper, Kanye West, she could document her £1.6billion divorce in two reality series.


The Keeping Up With the Kardashian star has already filmed the 20th and final series of the lucrative E! reality series, with filming wrapping in January – around the time the first reports of her impending divorce emerged.

The series is set to air next month, with cameras following the reality star for the final nine months of her marriage to the rapper.

US sources have said Kanye who has appeared in the show since 2013, but not as one of its main stars is “very unlikely” to feature in any upcoming scenes.

Later this year, once the Kardashian family end their long-standing relationship with network E!, the sisters and matriarch Kris will move to Disney’s Hulu channel, where their new series will air at the end of this year.

Details of what programmes are included in the family’s £70million deal are yet to be confirmed, but while announcing the new partnership, Walt Disney TV chairman Dana Walden noted the appeal of unscripted reality series.

The first iteration of this article was published back in March 2019 after a poor Liverpool performance in a Merseyside derby. Be it due to fate, the photographic memory of us here at Football365 (unlikely), or simply Jurgen Klopp’s propensity for particularly bizarre excuses after Everton games, the amended article comes after an even worse Liverpool performance in a Merseyside derby.

Here are 12 of Klopp’s classic excuses…

Wind

“You just cannot play football in this heavy wind,” Klopp said on Saturday, having watched James Rodriguez play a perfectly weighted through ball for Richarlison to score in the third minute in presumably a five-second eye-of-the-storm moment amid the hurricane at Anfield.

It was the same excuse he used in the March 2019 derby, when he said “the wind was coming from all directions”.

What must really stick in his craw is that while on that previous occasion the wind “did not help anybody”, this time it had a mind to help Everton and hinder Liverpool.

But then we shouldn’t be surprised at Klopp’s pure hatred of wind…

After the FA Cup defeat to Wolves at Molineux in January 2019, when Klopp made nine changes to his side, the Liverpool boss apportioned some of the responsibility for defeat to the blowy conditions. “The wind didn’t help, players struggled to control the ball… It wasn’t a nice game for the young boys.”

To be fair, Klopp had foreseen the problems the gale force conditions in England would present just two months after he arrived at Liverpool in October 2015.

“The English game is not faster than the German game. Perhaps there are a few more sprints. But there is a different style of football here, partially due to the weather. The wind can be quite extreme in England. We are not familiar with that in Germany and you have to keep things simple. Players who are not from the UK have to get used to the winds. I have to adapt my style of football as a result as well. Often, you are forced to keep things simple. And there are a lot more duels for the second ball here, and more duels in general. That makes the game even more intense.”

Sorry about the wind Liverpool! #MyBad

— God (@TheTweetOfGod) March 3, 2019

God
You should be sorry, God. What hope does Jurgen have against you and your obvious fervent support of Manchester City?

“I am convinced now that God is a Man City fan and that he will do everything to stop us,” Klopp said after the defeat on Saturday. “You can’t win against God.”

Hold on, God is “doing everything” to stop Liverpool? The Almighty? The clue’s in the moniker, lads. Give it up.

Snow
Liverpool came under fire in January 21019 after a result which then Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho felt might have decided the title. At half-time during the home draw with Leicester, their groundstaff cleared snow from the end which the Reds were attacking, leaving the other end relatively untouched.

Klopp explained that “there was not enough man power to clear all the pitch” and, in any case, if it was a ploy, it wasn’t a clever one. When you already have one of the best defensive units in the game, why leave the area they are patrolling more hazardous and unpredictable?

After a 1-1 draw, Klopp pinpointed the conditions as one of the reasons for his team’s tepid performance.

“You saw that the ball didn’t roll really. If you then have the ball pretty much for 70 to 80 percent of the time it makes life really uncomfortable. The only problem is if it stays on the pitch and that was actually the case.”

Not at one end, Jurgen…

Liverpool only clearing 1/3 of the pitch is a weird one

Wouldn’t the snow help Leicester play Vardy in behind as the ball will hold up for him to run on to?

Sun
Seemingly, Klopp is only happy when it rains. The sunshine evidently doesn’t do it for him either.

Towards the end of 2017-18 season, Liverpool chucked in a two-goal lead at all-but-relegated West Brom, who staged what the German termed a “useless comeback”.

“I don’t think that point will help West Brom massively, it is a complete waste of points. They don’t need it, we would have needed it,” he said, later admitting he was speaking “rubbish”.

But not only did West Brom have the temerity to not roll over and have their bellies tickled at the time, they were also accused of not preparing their pitch specifically to Klopp’s liking. On a warm Saturday afternoon, they opted not to water the pitch at half-time, the heathens.

“It was a difficult game, especially after the pitch got drier and drier. We had the ball constantly and it’s not so easy. It was quite difficult. I was not happy with the pitch. You never played football, obviously. It makes a massive difference. If you’re like West Brom, the ball constantly in the air, you don’t need a wet pitch. That’s how it is and we have to deal with that. They can do it next year, playing with a dry pitch in the Championship.”

Meow.

Was there a problem with the pitch at West Brom?

Here’s what Jurgen Klopp thinks.#wba #lfc #WBALIV pic.twitter.com/IotaDHFBzF

— Match of the Day (@BBCMOTD) April 21, 2018

A year previously, though, after a goalless draw at home to Southampton, Klopp claimed watering the Anfield pitch was of little use.

“Today, I know nobody wants to hear it but I’m brave enough to say it, the pitch was really dry. We gave it all the water we had but after 15 minutes it was really dry, because of the wind, it was difficult.”

That bloody wind.

Klopp again pinpointed the warm weather after a pre-season draw at Bury last summer.

“The mix-up of intensity in training, very warm weather and a very dry pitch is not the best preparation for a football game. Making the right decisions when you are really tired, when it is really warm and the ball is not really rolling is very difficult.”

Television
Klopp came up with another imaginative excuse after another miserable result against West Brom.

“What I heard was that the actual extra time in the first half should have been ten minutes,” he said after being dumped out of the FA Cup by the Baggies in January 2018. “It was only four.”

“I heard that television said it’s not longer than four minutes. Of course that’s not possible, you can’t cut match time because there is something else to broadcast. I don’t know what was on afterwards, maybe the news or something. It was ten minutes and so you need to play ten minutes longer. You can’t say: ‘It’s now a little bit too long.'”

Fair play to BT Sport’s match director for playing this one with a straight bat…

I directed the match and I can categorically state that at no point did I (can add ‘have I’ or ‘would I’ to that) ever try to influence the officials, including the allocation of stoppage time. Not only would it be unprofessional, it would also be utterly futile. https:///GD7SfOVn66

Officials
Klopp got his knickers in a twist over the performance of Kevin Friend and his assistants in February 2019 after a draw at West Ham – when Liverpool scored an offside goal and failed to take a similarly-offside chance late on to secure an undeserved win.

“We had good moments and we score the goal which was offside… the referee must know that at half-time. It explains the second half because I think the referee knew and you saw there were a lot of strange situations, not decisive, just rhythm breakers. There were so many situations where it was 50-50 or 60-40 but it became a free kick for the other team.”

His on-pitch outburst cost Klopp an £8,000 fine and prompted Manuel Pellegrini to finally say something interesting.

Injuries… to opponents
If it’s not referees breaking up Liverpool’s rhythm, it is their opponents hurting themselves.

After being held by a Manchester United side that lost three players inside the opening 43 minutes and finished without four of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first-choice front six, Klopp suggested the Red Devils’ injuries hurt Liverpool almost as much.

“It’s difficult. It was a strange game. We started really, really well, exactly as we wanted to start. Then the injury crisis started as well. That obviously cost us our rhythm. It was like: ‘What’s going on now?’ “United played with a completely new midfield, pretty much a new three up front. We lost the rhythm and couldn’t get it back.”

As a means of stopping Liverpool, ‘pulling hamstrings’ isn’t a method that had been tried before. Solskjaer really is a football genius.

BT Sport-induced injuries
Earlier this season, Klopp was fuming at Liverpool being forced to play a Wednesday night Champions League match followed by an early Saturday Premier League encounter. In that instance, Liverpool drew 1-1 with Brighton, with Pascal Gross equalising with a stoppage time penalty, after a 2-0 midweek defeat by Atalanta.

James Milner went off at the Amex with a hamstring injury and when asked by BT Sport’s Des Kelly about the extent of the issue, Klopp sarcastically said: “Congratulations.”

“Not me personally,” Kelly replied.

“Well you work for them,” Klopp told Kelly. “Ask Chris Wilder how we can work on that. I don’t know how often I have to say it, but you pick the 12:30 kick offs. Between now and December there is one more Wednesday, Saturday. These are difficult times. I am just saying it how it is. Wednesday to Saturday 12:30 is really dangerous.”

The next time Liverpool played a Champions League game on the Wednesday before the early kick-off on the Saturday, they beat Crystal Palace 7-0. They haven’t had as tight a turnaround since and have won two and lost six of their 11 games.

The ball
In March 2020 Liverpool were 22 points clear in the Premier League using the Nike Merlin ball, which had four fuse-wielded panels that provided a ‘bigger sweet spot for ball striking’ and ‘Aerowtrack’ grooves that helped to ‘ensure a more consistent flight’.

But they were undone by the Mitre pigs bladder used in the FA Cup as they lost 2-0 to Chelsea. The FA claim their choice ‘ensured ball shape and flight remain true’, but that was evidently horsesh*t as there’s no other explanation for error-prone goalkeeper Adrian making an error.

“The first goal, we lose a ball, what was it 18/19 yards in front of the goal? The specific characteristic of the ball and Willian’s shooting technique made life really difficult.”

Willian also hit the ball far too hard.

Cold feet

“In the second goal he just mishit the ball,” Klopp said after Alisson’s shocking display in the 4-1 defeat to Manchester City. “There’s no real reason, maybe he had cold feet. It sounds funny but could be.”

Or maybe he had hot feet? Or warm shins? Or an itchy arse? Just stick with the first point, Jurgen: “there’s no real reason” for one of the best goalkeepers in the world to make a mistake like that.

Man City’s Covid jolly
Alisson’s feet were also a hell of a lot more weary than Ederson’s. In the build-up to the defeat at Anfield, Pep Guardiola clashed with Klopp over City’s enforced Covid break after Christmas after the Liverpool boss claimed “City had a two-week break for Covid reasons.”

“‘Jurgen has to see the calendar again. We had Covid and we played with 14 players at Stamford Bridge, but maybe I’m wrong and it was not two weeks, it was three or four weeks. When I see Jurgen I’ll say to him: how many weeks or days were we off? He knows it’s not true. Nobody in the Premier League has had two weeks off.”

City missed one game on December 28 with six of their players testing positive for a virus that has killed 120,000 people in the UK. What a lovely, relaxing one (not two) week “break” that must have been.

Man Utd penalties
When Liverpool fell to a 1-0 defeat by Southampton at St Mary’s in January, Klopp was frustrated at the decision not to award a penalty for a foul on Sadio Mane. As an excuse for a defeat, that one’s as old as time, but not sufficient in Klopp’s case.

“I hear now that Manchester United had more penalties in two years than I had in five-and-a-half years. I’ve no idea if that’s my fault, or how that can happen.”

At the time he made the claim, Liverpool had been awarded 30 penalties in 199 Premier League games overseen by the German since he took over in October 2015. While United, under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, had been awarded 27 in his 75 matches since he came in first as a caretaker manager in December 2018. So he wasn’t far off.

Mark Clattenburg called Klopp a “hypocrite” but then hinted at (but absolutely did not admit to) referee bias towards Manchester United.

The simple (boring) view of things is that United players get fouled in the box more often. That’s probably “how it can happen”.
