President Jacob Zuma has torched a storm after he said South Africans battling to find jobs must join MMM. Speaking at a fundraiser in Limpopo over the weekend, the president shocked attendees when he encouraged them to join the embattled scheme. “South Africans complain too much, there are many money making schemes that are making people rich everyday but you guys are waiting for me to come and give you a job. If you can not get a job, just join MMM. My gardener and maid do MMM and they get more money than what I am paying them. I want to fire them so they can fully concentrate on MMM”, he said. The entrance of Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox popularly known by its abbreviation, MMM, into the country sent South Africans into a frenzy as many joined the quick-money train. The company which was founded in Russia by Sergei Mavrodi, his brother Vyacheslav Mavrodi, and Olga Melnikova recorded a rapid growth but in 1994, it came crashing down as it was closed over tax evasion. Described as the biggest Ponzi scheme in the 1990s, it was estimated that thousands of people lost up to $10 billion dollars. The scheme which has been banned in China has found its way to South Africa, Zimbabwe and recently Nigeria where it has attracted “investors” who put money into it and receive 30 per cent “profit” ant the end of the month. Jacob Zuma’s utterances have been met with an outrage all over South Africa with many saying Zuma was out of line and should apologise. Do you think it is okay for Jacob Zuma to advertise this scheme? Source : LiveMonitor Satire http://livemonitor.co.za/join-mmm/

Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Mahmud Mohammed has said that the “the failure on the part of the Executive Arm of Government to act upon recommendations by the National Judicial Council (NJC) cannot be blamed upon the NJC.” Justice Mohammed made the statement in a letter dated 26 October 2016 and sent to Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP). The letter with reference No.CJN/Gen/MISC/A37/Vol.XXI/8 and signed by the Senior Special Assistant, H. S. Sa’eed to the CJN was in response to SERAP’s request to Justice Mohammed requesting him as the Chairman of the NJC to “take over from the Department of State Service (DSS) the cases of all the 7 judges released by the DSS and refer the cases of those judges to anticorruption agencies for conclusion of investigation and prompt prosecution.” But the CJN in reaction told SERAP that, “Certainly, you will agree with me that where there are clear constitutional provisions relating to the power of any individual, institution or Arm of Government, then it cannot deviate nor exceed such powers as this will be unlawful.” The letter by the CJN reads in part: “While restating the willingness of the NJC to act upon any petition as well as commitment of the Nigerian judiciary to the fight against corruption, his Lordship opines that any significant involvement in the fight against corruption will be upon a similar commitment of the Prosecutorial Agencies to actively prosecute their cases expeditiously when information about same is received” “It is necessary to restate that the NJC is a creation of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria (as amended) being established under Section 153 with its mandate clearly set out in Para 21, Part One of the Third Schedule to the Constitution. This provision clearly stipulates at Para 21(b) and (d) that the Council may only ‘recommend’ to the President and the Governors, the removal from office of Judicial Officers and to exercise disciplinary control over such Judicial Officers, which in effect is the extent of its power to discipline. Hence, the Council cannot, suo moto dismiss any Judicial Officer.” “The NJC can also neither ‘hand over corrupt judges to law enforcement agencies for prosecution nor recover proceeds of corruption, as you have suggested. It can merely recommend to act upon its findings, as it has always done.” “However, in exercise of its constitutional mandate, the NJC has enacted the Judicial Discipline Regulations, 2014 in order to ensure that petitions are received, investigated and addressed as appropriate. As SERAP’s own Report attests, 64 Judicial Officers have been disciplined within 5 years even preceding the institution of the new guidelines. Any failure on the part of the Executive Arm of Government to act upon such recommendations cannot therefore be blamed upon the NJC.” “With due consideration to the contents of your letter, I am directed to acknowledge and address the concerns which SERAP have raised, which may reflect the wider opinion held by some Nigerians. While his Lordship doubtless appreciate SERAP’s concern for the incidence of corruption in the judiciary, it is indeed erroneous to conclude that the NJC has ‘felt satisfied with applying only civil sanctions and have not deemed it fit to hand over corrupt judges to law enforcement agencies for prosecution nor recover proceeds of corruption’, as insinuated in your letter under reference.” “To be sure, every citizen of Nigeria inclusive of Judicial Officers, are entitled to the protection of the law and a key provision of the Constitution is the presumption of innocence, as enshrined in Section 36(5) of the Constitution (as amended). I must also remind us that the Seven Judges like all other persons are entitled to a fair hearing as stipulated in Section 36 of the Constitution. As such, it would be presumptive and indeed preemptive to sanction the said judges without exhausting the proper procedure for their removal.” “As a valuable member of the society, the Hon. CJN is certainly delighted with SERAP’s dedication to justice, fairness and justness. His Lordship also wishes to emphasize that it is indeed our collective responsibility to tackle any perceived challenges facing the Nigerian judiciary.” “Indeed, with the support of well-meaning and eminent Nigerians such as members of SERAP, giant strides will be made towards reaching the goal of a transparent, fair and equitable system of justice. The Hon. CJN wishes you the best in your future endeavor as SERAP strives to support and entrench good governance in Nigeria.” It would be recalled that SERAP had in a letter dated 11 October 2016 and signed by its executive director Adetokunbo Mumuni expressed serious concern that “the NJC has for many years failed to appropriately deal with several cases of corrupt judges by failing to refer those cases to the EFCC and ICPC for prosecution. Many of these suspected corrupt judges are still alive and their cases should be promptly referred to the anticorruption agencies. The NJC under your leadership should seize the opportunity of the just released 7 judges to comprehensively address corruption in the judiciary.” SERAP said that it believed that “The NJC is in the best position to tackle corruption within the judiciary, and to ensure the application of appropriate disciplinary and legal measures in the cases of the released 7 judges and other judges suspected of engaging in corruption.” SERAP’s letter reads in part: “SERAP believes that corrupt judges should not merely be retired where there are clear allegations of corruption against them. Corrupt judges must not also be allowed to keep their ill-gotten wealth, or receive their pension and retirement benefits, as if they have done no wrong while the victims of their corrupt acts are left without an effective remedy.” “SERAP believes that corrupt judges are more dangerous to the society than corrupt politicians because a corrupt judiciary denies both victims of corruption and those accused of corruption access to an independent, impartial and fair adjudication process. No country can succeed with corrupt judges as there can’t be no rule of law, development, justice and enjoyment of human rights when judges are corrupt.” “Judicial corruption is antithetical not only to human rights and good governance but it also directly undermines the ability of government to satisfactorily combat corruption. Judges should not be allowed to avoid accountability for corruption if judicial impartiality and independence is to be held sacrosanct and access to justice is to be effectively achieved.” Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/11/cjn-replies-serap-blames-fg-govs-judges-corruption/

A two year-old girl has died in Beijing, crushed by a car as her mother left her on the road to wander, while she was busy checking her phone. A 2-minute video clip, widely shared in Chinese social media, captured the horrific scene: the girl first of all being hit and then crushed by the car. When the accident took place, the girl was walking alone ahead of her phone-engrossed mother. The girl didn’t survive. The incident has once again reinforced warnings to parents and all phone owners over obsession with the smartphones and neglect of parenting. Police investigation said that the girl walked into the driver’s blind zone. Chinese netizens expressed their anger over the mother, saying that she should have kept an eye on her child. “If the mobile phone was so much fun, then why had you given birth to the child?” asked web user “Xiaodingdangmaimaijimiqiu”. “It is a bloody lesson. Everyone should be alerted not to play with a smartphone while walking. God knows how regretful the mother is,” a netizen in the username of “freeermiao” wrote on China’s twitter-like microblog Weibo. The accident was not the first. In April this year, a two-year-old boy ran into the centre of a road while his mother was mesmerized by her mobile phone in east China’s Anhui province. The boy was hit by a car and died. In August last year, a similar tragedy happened in central China’s Henan province when a boy was hit by a car in a parking zone. His mother was checking phone somewhere else when the boy was knocked down. Parents have been urged to curb their smartphone addiction. In China, more than five in 10 adults own a smartphone. Over half of the people questioned in a poll conducted by Deloitte check mobile phone for 1 or 2 times per hour, and one fourth of the interviewees check their mobiles for over 50 times a day. Child Accident Prevention Trust, a UK children’s charity, has warned that parents obsessed in their mobile phones are putting their children in danger of serious accidents. Almost a quarter of parents were engrossed in their devices when their children suffered an accident or had a near miss, according to a new research it released.

Nong Nat starred in dozens of saucy films including Tokyo Hunter and Asian Heart before turning to a life of spiritualism and prayer A former porn star has revealed her secret to landing a wealthy older husband - becoming a Buddhist and praying. Nong Nat, 31, became an X-rated adult star after featuring in dozens of films including Tokyo Hunter and Asian Heart. She was even prosecuted over the saucy roles after police identified her face in a haul of black-market videos in primarily Buddhist Thailand where pornography is illegal. But Nong - who also used the name Nat Chanapa - quit the adult industry, became a devout Buddhist and married American millionaire architect 70-year-old Harold Jennings Nesland Jr. in 2012. She says her Buddhist "good deeds, meditation and praying", landed her a husband a who gives her generous "monthly payments". The busty DD cup model said: "I've been making merit a lot lately (doing good deeds). "Other than receiving kindness from my husband from his monthly payments, he has also been giving me extra money, too. "No matter how much he withdraws from the bank, he splits it with me 50/50. "Prayers and meditation get you a good husband." The model, whose full name is Kejsarin Chaichalermphol, was given a six month suspended sentence and fined in 2003 after cops identified her from hardcore porn VHS tapes. Thailand's Buddhist-majority culture is generally conservative about sexuality, in contrast to the notorious reputation that the country has gained for prostitution, live sex shows and red-light districts. Following controversy over her porn films, Nong quit the adult industry and devoted her life to Buddhism despite big money adult film offers.

ItsQuinn:It works very well for China, be4 the restrictions China was slightly above 1 billion population. Currently they are still above 1 billion population. Imagine if it's nigeria, wud have close to 4 billion by now. In fact China has review their law recently to allow family without male child to give birth to 2nd child |
ItsQuinn:If over population is ur reason against polygamous, that means ur idea is on shaky ground. what happen to d idea that to every woman there is a man. So u are telling ur fellow sisters that some of them should not marry. That they should remain single. Some single guys have more children than polygamous family man. polygamous has nothing to do with over population. Population can only be reduce when govt restrict the number of children a woman can have |
Toks2008:Not forgetting some guys that married one wife but have more than 20 children courtesy of having other affairs outside |
Toks2008:Not forgetting all African traditions support polygamous marriage. |
Richiy:Some polygamous family are far better than non polygamous family ( including single parent ). No one perfect solution, situation differs. |
Richard Hoagland never returned home to his wife and two sons after calling home and telling them he needed to be taken to hospital in 1993 A married father who vanished from his home 23 years ago has been found living with a new family under the stolen identity of a dead fisherman.

There were indications on Thursday that former Nigerian leaders, traditional and religious leaders from across the country were listed as beneficiaries of the $2.1bn arms funds in the final report of the Presidential panel which probed military contracts from 2007 to 2015. It was gathered that the report, which had been submitted to President Muhammadu Buhari, recommended the retrieval of undisclosed sums of money from some indicted persons, while in some cases, it recommended their prosecution. A highly-placed security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, said some former Heads of State, were listed as having received various sums of money from the Office of the National Security Adviser under Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.). The source added that a prominent northern traditional ruler was provided funds from the NSA’s office for the monarch’s coronation. Giving further insights into what some of the funds were used for, the source explained that some were spent to pay the medical bills as well as travel expenses of some of the ex-leaders, who had to travel abroad to seek medical help for undisclosed aliments. In one of the most notable cases, the report stated that the ONSA shouldered the cost of the medical trips of one of the ex-Heads of State to Germany. The source added, “The list of beneficiaries from the ONSA under Col. Sambo Dasuki is very long. “The list comprises very prominent Nigerians, including former Heads of State, many traditional rulers from the North and the South. “Several religious leaders from the two dominant religions in the country also got funds from the ONSA. “A former President of the country, who was sick, was flown out of the country to Germany for medical treatment. In fact, the former ONSA paid for the three trips the former leader made to Germany.” It was learnt that the prosecution team was opposed to an open trial of Dasuki as this could result in disturbing revelations on how the $2.1bn under probe was disbursed. The arms panel also established that the procurement processes adopted for the purchase of military hardware were arbitrarily and generally characterised by irregularities and fraud. The highly-placed security official said the panel had interrogated some of the indicted officials, serving and retired officers, and some contractors. The PUNCH learnt that the Federal Government would soon make public the final report just like it did with the interim report. Barely three months after he assumed office in 2015, Buhari inaugurated a 13-man panel to probe procurement of arms and related military contracts between 2007 and 2015. The panel had submitted two interim reports, where several serving and retired military officers were indicted. Those indicted in the first two reports included Dasuki; a former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh (retd.); two former Chiefs of Army Staff – Lt. Gen. Azubike Ihejirika (retd.), and Lt. Gen. Kenneth Minimah (retd.) – and ex-Chiefs of Air Staff, Air Marshal M. D. Umar (retd.), and Air Marshal Adesola Amosu (retd.). Others indicted were Maj. Gen. E. R. Chioba (retd.), AVM I. A. Balogun (retd.), AVM A. G. Tsakr (retd.), AVM A. G. Idowu (retd.), AVM A. M. Mamu, AVM O. T. Oguntoyinbo, AVM T. Omenyi, AVM J. B. Adigun and AVM R. A. Ojuawo. Among those also indicted were AVM J. A. Kayode-Beckley, Air Cdre S. A. Yushau (retd.), Air Cdre A. O. Ogunjobi, Air Cdre G. M. Gwani, Air Cdre S. O. Makinde, Air Cdre A. Y. Lassa and Col. N. Ashinze. Several contractors, former ministers and government officials are currently being prosecuted for the roles they played in the disbursement of the funds. In one of the interim reports, the panel said, “The procurement processes were arbitrarily carried out and generally characterised by irregularities and fraud. “In many cases, the procured items failed to meet the purposes they were procured for, especially for the counter-insurgency efforts in the North-East. “A major procurement activity undertaken by ONSA for NAF was that concerning the contracts awarded to Societe D’ Equipment Internationaux Nig. Limited between January 2014 and February 2015. NAF awarded 10 contracts totalling $930,500,690 to SEI Nig. Ltd. “Letters of award and End User Certificates for all the contracts issued by NAF and ONSA respectively did not reflect the contract sums. “Rather, these were only found in the vendor’s invoices, all dated March 19, 2015.” A statement credited to the presidential spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina, had said the Ode-led panel “comes against the background of the myriad of challenges that the Nigerian Armed Forces have faced in the course of ongoing counter-insurgency operations in the North-East, including the apparent deficit in military platforms with its attendant negative effects of troops’ morale.” He added, “The committee will specifically investigate allegations of non-adherence to correct equipment procurement procedures and the exclusion of relevant logistics branches from arms procurement under past administrations, which, very often resulted in the acquisition of sub-standard and unserviceable equipment.” It was not clear on Thursday if the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had received a copy of the report or not, which was said to contain a list of those for further investigation and prosecution. The spokesman for the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, said he did not have information on the subject. When asked if the commission had received the report, he simply said, “I don’t know.” http://punchng.com/2-1bn-arms-cash-ex-leaders-top-monarchs-clerics-among-beneficiaries/ |

A man divorced his wife after just two hours of marriage because she posted photos to Snapchat. Sorry, what? Yes. The couple had an agreement not to share any pictures of the ceremony on the social sharing app. But, when the groom discovered that his wife had sent images of the wedding to friends, he immediately filed for divorce, local media reported. The marriage lasted just two hours The wedding took place in Saudi Arabia , and the bride's bother told newspaper Okaz : "There was a prenuptial agreement between my sister and her fiancé that she would not use social-media applications such as Snapchat, Instagram or Twitter to post or send her pictures." He added: "It was included in the marriage contract and became binding. "Regretfully, my sister did not honour the pledge and used Snapchat to share pictures from the wedding ceremony with her female friends, resulting in the shocking decision by the groom to cancel their marriage and call for divorce." Oh dear. Apparently the whole episode sparked a massive row between the families – as you'd expect. The bride's relatives thought the decision by the groom was a little harsh, while his family said it was absolutely within his rights to divorce her. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/man-divorces-wife-after-two-9127302?ICID=FB_mirror_main |
