Taiwanese hacker vows to hack and delete Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook page and says he'll broadcast the take-down live



A Taiwanese hacker named Chang Chi-yuan has claimed he would take down Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook page in a live broadcast before appearing to pull out of the plan. 
Chang Chi-yuan told his 27,000 followers he would target the Facebook founder's own account this Sunday. Then he backtracked today and said he would instead demand money from Facebook in return for flagging up the glitch to Facebook.  He added that he had not expected the world's media to pick up on his plans. 
Chang describes himself as a "bug bounty-hunter" who claims to have exposed flaws in a series of high-profile companies' security systems, Bloomberg reports. 
In the post he said: "Broadcasting the deletion of Facebook founder Zuck's account. Scheduled to go live".
Some commenters had criticised his plans, with one saying: "Listen man, if you really have a bug that can take over Zuck's page, I don't recommended you do it.
You can just inform them about that bug and you will get rewarded for this."
Another said: "It’s really sad to prove your strength by hurting others.”
Later Chang wrote in a comment: "I am canceling my live feed. I have reported the bug to Facebook and I will show proof when i get bounty from Facebook.
The Taiwanese social media celebrity has previously said: "I don't want to be a proper hacker, and I don't even want to be a hacker at all. I'm just bored and try to dabble so that I can earn some money."
He claims to have targeted the software of major corporations including Apple and Elon Musk's Tesla.

The only person that can call himself a legend in the Nigerian music industry is 2face' - Timaya



Nigerian musician, Timaya has said only Innocent ‘2baba’ Idibia qualifies to call himself a legend among the active artistes in the music industry. 
Timaya during a recent radio interview with SoundCity FM said: “In this part of the world, many artistes when they get to 10 years, they start shouting ‘I’m a legend’, ‘legendary’. To me, in this industry, the only person that can call himself a legend is 2face. The others shouldn’t. Even if people call me a legend, I don’t like to be seen like that.” 
The dancehall star maintained that he is still the king of commercial music, saying, “the crown never leaves. I am Timaya anytime any day, 13 years is not three years. People don’t understand that making a hit song doesn’t mean you are a star. Stars always shine, some people can make a hit song and you will never hear of them again. There’s no year I’ve never dropped a hit song. I don’t want to be number one. I just want to be a musician. A lot of people have come and gone but I’m still here.” 
Timaya also gave his take on the issue of marriage, saying he is not predisposed to an elaborate ceremony.  He said: “I don’t really go for weddings like that. I like the private marriage. If I want to get married, I will not do a big gathering. One thing is to get married, the other thing is to stay married. Staying married is the hardest part. Do you know what it means for two people with different upbringings to come and start staying together? That’s not a joke.”

Earthquake likely to occur in Abuja, Kaduna, Ogun, Oyo, Bayelsa - NASRDA



There have been reports of recent earth tremors experienced in some parts of Abuja which made residents fear for their safety.
Few weeks ago, the director-general of the National Geological Survey Agency (NGSA), Alex Nsegbu, said Nigeria is not on the boundary that can make the country suffer earthquake, but a new report by the  National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) has identified communities in four states and Abuja as locations where major earthquake may likely occur in the country.
The Director General of NASRDA, Prof. Seidu Mohammed, disclosed this on the sideline of the second Engr. Brig. Gen. M.O Agu (rtd) Annual Distinguished Lecture in Abuja on Thursday.
Prof. Mohammed, who was also the chairman of presidential committee on the Abuja tremor, said Mpape in Abuja, Kwoi in Kaduna, Ijebu-Ode in Ogun, Shaki in Oyo and Igbogene in Bayelsa may likely be the epicentres of major earthquake if precautions were not taken.
The erstwhile inactive faults system in the country are gradually becoming active, he said, ‘’which now make earthquake likely’’ in and around the country. A number of incidences in these locations, according to him, is also a pointer to the fact that a big disaster may occur there, calling on the Federal Government to do something fast to avert it.
He said analysis of a 100 year-old data done by the members of the presidential committee on Abuja tremor showed that Mpape in Abuja is a hotspot which is highly susceptible to earth tremor and other earth shakeups.
“What it means is that we need a thorough study across the country to identify such hotspots so that we can constantly monitor them from satellite system and from data from outer space’’, he said.
He said the high volume of water being taken out of over 110, 000 boreholes dug in Abuja is further making the situation in the capital city worse. ‘’More than 330 metric tonnes of water being taken out every day in Abuja is causing a vacuum; is straining the earth’’, he said.
He therefore urged the FG to take a look at indiscriminate drilling of boreholes, calling on thorough regulation on earth drilling. He also said engineers should now take cognizance of likely earth tremor when designing and constructing buildings.
Last week, the Presidential Committee on Abuja Tremor said Nigeria was now prone to seismic hazards, which make earthquake occurrence a potential disaster to the country.
The committee disclosed that when it submitted the report of its findings to the Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu. ‘’Nigeria is now prone to seismic hazards following recent earthquake occurrences in Kwoi, Kaduna state, Saki, Oyo State and Igbogene in Bayelsa State all in 2016. The latest occurred in September 7, 2018 in Mpape, Abuja’’it said.
It said though ‘’these earthquakes may have been of low-magnitude, it is now certain that earthquake occurrence has become a potential hazards to the nation’’.
The committee alluded to the report conducted by Julius Berger on the geological, hydrological and geotechnical investigation for Abuja which identified Mpape as a Shear zone that is weak with several fractures and faults system.
It added that water extraction and recharge imbalance from aquifer is causing hydrological instability along the fractures. The existence of 110,000 boreholes within Abuja metropolis with about 330,000 metric tonnes of water drilled daily is not suitable, it added.
In view of the challenges that hinder efficient forecasting, detection and monitoring of earthquakes in Nigeria, the Committee recommended the procurement and installation of more seismometers and GPS sensors/equipment for the enlargement and networking of the Nigeria National Network of Seismographic Stations.
The committee further recommended detailed Seismotectonic study using State-of-the-art equipment in the area and the entire country.

CBN announced this barely a week after its revoke Skye Bank’s operating license.
The 182 financial institutions which according to the apex bank, cut across different states of the country include – 154 microfinance banks; 6 primary mortgage banks, and 22 finance companies.
CBN said 62 of the microfinance banks had already closed shops; 74 became insolvent; 12 were terminally distressed; while six voluntarily liquidated.
The CBN listed the primary mortgage banks for revocation as Accord Savings and Loans Limited in Lagos that failed to recapitalise; and Ahocol Savings and Loans Limited in Anambra (state government-owned) that closed shop.
Other mortgage banks for revocation are Trans-Atlantic Savings and Loans Limited in Bayelsa (state government-owned) that became insolvent; Royal Savings and Loans Limited in Delta State that also closed shop; Amex Savings and Loans Limited in Lagos that failed to recapitalise; and Supreme Savings and Loans Limited also in Lagos that closed shop.
The CBN disclosed that eight finance companies voluntary liquidated; 13 failed to recapitalise; while one became insolvent.
CBN had revoked the operating license of Skye Bank Plc with immediate effect. The Governor of the apex bank, Godwin Emefiele, disclosed this during a press briefing in Lagos.
On why the takeover of Skye Bank was inevitable, CBN in a released statement said it’s noted that the result of its examinations and forensic audit of the bank revealed that the bank required urgent recapitalization, as it could no longer continue to live on borrowed times with indefinite liquidity support from the CBN. Shareholders were, however, unable to recapitalize it.
In consultation with the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), it had decided to create a bridge bank Polaris Bank which the Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) will recapitalize. AMCON will then sell its stake in the bank.

Why Nigeria Air Project was suspended - FG finally speaks out



Just days after the NIGERIA AIR project was suspended, the Federal government has come out to reveal the reason behind the decision.
According to Federal Government, Nigeria Air was suspended due to investor apathy. Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, who addressed journalists on Monday at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos, said investors who were supposed to partner with the government on the project, were no longer interested.
He further said:-
    “If the understanding of government at the beginning was that the project might be self-financing or the project would be financed by investors and you think that such a project can no longer be sponsored by investors, either because they are not forthcoming or such venture can no longer be viable, the government is at the discretion to take a decision,” Lai Mohammed said during the official opening of an in-flight catering facility, the LSG Sky Chefs.
 “The position of government in business is to provide the enabling environment and it is not to become the sole source of finance or funding and in addition, there is much more than funding in trying to get our national carrier. So, the Federal Government thinks this thing should be stepped down now until we get a better funding structure.”

President Buhari speaks at UN General Assembly, lauds Nelson Mandela’s virtues and condemns xenophobia



President Buhari last night delivered an address at the High-Level Meeting on Global Peace in honour of the Centenary of the birth of Nelson Mandela on the sidelines of United Nations General Assembly in New York.
In his address, President Buhari commended the former South African President Nelson Mandela for his rare virtues, especially in the promotion of peace, unity and reconciliation.
According to him, Nigeria is committed to the promotion and protection of the rights of all women as well as providing an enabling environment for them to realize their full potential.
“We also recognise that inherent dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of all peoples in the world is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. “We declare that racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance present the very opposite of the noble purposes of the United Nations. “We recognise that tolerance of cultural, ethnic, racial, and religious diversities are essential for lasting peace, understanding and friendship among peoples, nations, cultures and individuals.
As Mandela passes to history, we stand with him in his aspirations for a better world,” the Nigerian leader said.
He said the world was facing diverse challenges such as conflict, climate change, terrorism, desertification, poverty, armed trafficking and violent extremism.  President Buhari stressed the need for the global community to live up to Mandela’s indelible legacies by being accountable to the values and principles and hope for the declaration through striving for a just, peaceful, prosperous, democratic, fair and inclusive world.
“This centenary celebration provides an avenue to reflect on the legacies of Nelson Mandela and his unwavering advocacy for human rights, social justice and peace. “It also affords us the rare privilege to rededicate ourselves to the service of humanity by championing democracy, conflict resolution, disarmament, mutual respect, reconciliation, gender equality and the fight against poverty. There is no doubt that in the quest to attain peace and development, the world will draw inspiration from the life of Nelson Mandela. As we herald the Nelson Mandela Decade of Peace, Nigeria calls on all states to recognise that the United Nations is built on pillars of peace and security, development and human rights. These are the foundations for our collective wellbeing and emphasise that there can be no peace without sustainable development and no sustainable development without peace and the full respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all.’’
Buhari said by the declaration of the Mandela’s Decade of Peace, Nigeria recognised the contributions of women to the advancement of societies and their contributions to the prevention and resolution of conflicts.

Aisha Buhari reportedly orders arrest of her ADC over N2.5 billion fraud



Wife of President Buhari, Aisha Buhari, has reportedly ordered the arrest of her own Aide De Camp, Sani Baba-Inna, a chief superintendent of police, for defrauding her.
Premiumtimes reports that Mrs Buhari has accused  Baba-Inna of receiving huge donations to the tune of N2.5 billion from politicians and business people on her behalf and then kept the cash to himself. Mrs Buhari has allegedly asked the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to arrest and compel Baba-Inna to refund the money.
Sources in the presidency reportedly confirmed that the accused police officer, was arrested last Friday September 21st and has remained in detention ever since, with relatives having no access to him, family members say.
It is unclear how the president’s wife came about the allegation, but one source said another aide working for Mrs Buhari originated the claim.
An associate of the embattled police officer said Mr. Baba-Inna strongly denied the allegation, saying he received no donation from anyone on behalf of his boss.
“The IG said the matter must be investigated immediately and the house of the ADC was raided,” one of our sources said. “Shockingly, investigators only found N1,200 cash in the House. His bank account was also investigated and had only a balance of N30,000 while the transaction records showed that most credits to the account were his salaries and allowances.”the associate said
The police, it was gathered, concluded that Mrs Buhari must have been wrongly informed as there was nothing to show or prove that such huge sums of money was in the custody of Mr Baba-Inna.
An associate of Mr. Baba-Inna said the police contacted those named as donors of the controversial funds but that they all denied making the donations attributed to them.
“For instance, one of those named was the IG of Police himself,” the source said. “But the IG said he has never passed any money through Baba-Inna.”
When Mrs Buhari was informed of the outcome of police investigation, the source said the first lady flared up and accused the police of colluding “to protect one of their own”. She then reportedly asked the State Security Service (SSS) to take over the case and get her money back”.
SSS operatives have reportedly taken custody of the accused officer.
When called to react to the report, the spokesperson for the SSS, Peter Afunanya and that of the Nigerian Police Force NPF, Jimoh Ibrahim, both denied knowledge of the case.
However, the wife of the embattled police officer, Hassana, insists her husband has been arrested and that she has not been able to reach him.
Meanwhile the spokesperson of the wife of the president, Suleiman Haruna, said although he heard about the matter, he was trying to get details from Mrs Buhari, who is currently in New York with her husband for the 73rd UN General Assembly.

How Jim Ovia chose the name and logo of Zenith Bank



Billionaire Banker and Founder Zenith Bank Plc, Mr. Jim Ovia has revealed how he chose the name and logo of his Bank, Zenith Bank Plc.
In his Auto-biography, Africa Arise and Shine, which was launched in Lagos over the week, the Agbor-born Billionaire Banker went down memory lane on the thoughts and processes that went down before arriving at the name and logo for the iconic and award-winning brand widely acknowledged as one of the most recognisable logos in the banking industry.
How he came about the name ZENITH
For Jim, the choice of name for the new bank began by drawing a list of names that are off-limits as banks in the country are usually not allowed to use any part of an existing financial institution as their name.
His vision was to build a brand that will not only be a major player in the country’s banking industry but also a force to reckon with in the international market and for him it was important to look for a name that would have a wide and long-lasting appeal to people and not limited by way of geography culture or language.
In his words:
“I started researching with those qualifications in mind to find a name that was unique, one that would be memorable to Nigerians, Africans and to the international markets”.
In his research of various dictionaries and thesauruses, Jim stumbled on one word that has a common meaning in numerous languages, English, French, Latin, and Spanish – ZENITH which means top or pinnacle. Eureka!!! This is it. According to Jim, when he found this word, it was more than an “aha” moment.
“My whole being said, Wow this is it”
 The choice of the bank’s logo
After coming up with the name, attention shifted to the designing of the logo. In Jim’s usual practice of doing a detailed and thorough research, he studied many of the easily recognised logos of Multinationals that have become household names across the globe this include: Nike, Exon, Mobil, Mercedes Benz, Mc Donalds not left in the search are logos of successful banks such as Citibank, Bank of America. One thing that struck Jim was the simplicity in their logos. Interestingly, these logos have three features in common this include:
Simple to read and understand.
Their names are either spelled out or Initials of the company.
The Red colour was also a common feature in their name.
He came up with a design which was the letter Z bisected by a top slice of white space- with the top of the letter rendered in dark gray and bottom in red.
Few of his friends, however, expressed their reservation with the choice of the colour. They felt the color was too strong a colour and that red was synonymous with blood and war. They bluntly told him the colour will scare people and may not want to associate with the brand and besides no bank in the country then as ever used red. However, all these suggestions were not compelling to Jim. When confronted with his choice of colour he will respond
“Look at flags of some of the most powerful and prosperous nations in the world, they all have the colour red in their flags besides, red is the color of love and I believe people will fall in love with our logo”.
This later proved to be true several years after the launch of the bank as other banks in the country took notice of how people were attracted to the brand. The success of the brand logo later influenced many other financial institutions to rebrand their logo with a touch of red.

It is, therefore, not surprising that some other investment owned by Jim such VISAFONE – an IT and Telecoms company previously owned by Jim – has red as its dominant colour.
According to ancient myth, Red is adjudged a magical and religious colour, it also symbolises super-human heroism to the Greeks. Findings also show that Red is one of the top favorite colours of all people and approximately 77% of all flags of countries have red. The colour is also the colour of good luck in Asia.
The Zenith Effect
Prior to the launch of the new logo, two of the oldest and most established banks in Nigeria that had been using colour yellow in their logos for more than 25 years later changed their colour to red after witnessing the amazing colour of red in Zenith Bank.
In no time the brand became a success and it began to appeal and inspire many other names.
In his words:
“I can recall a day when someone sent me a message to the effect that several members of their family had started to name their newborn babies-Zenith.”
 Jim as a brand strategist
The impressive response of people to his brand was a function of core aspects of a successful branding-Simplicity, broad-based appeal, and a combination of something easily recognisable and unique.
Determined to raise the bar of corporate branding in the country, Jim came up with the Zenith Cube – a three-dimensional cube with the bank’s Z shaped red and gray color on each of the four sides.
“There was a huge response when we put those cubes, and people on the streets would smile and stop to look at them”.
The idea was to put the cube on the highest point of each of the branches of the bank. This is to enhance the visibility of its Z name such that it could be seen from any direction. Nothing of this magnitude has ever happened in the banking industry.
The Zenith Cube on the Pinnacle of the Zenith Bank Building
The human mind is believed to be highly responsive to visual stimuli and colour is one of the major defining factors. For Business owners and Entrepreneurs, choosing the right logo colours can highlight business strengths and help attract the right customers, as it conveys the personality of the business. Today Zenith Bank has over 500 branches and business offices in prime commercial centres in all the states across the country.

Joshua knocks out Alexander Povetkin to defend world titles



Anthony Joshua defended his world heavyweight titles with a devastating knockout of Alexander Povetkin after overcoming an early onslaught from the Russian at Wembley.
The British star blasted Povetkin to the canvas with a brutal assault in the seventh round and then floored the WBA mandatory challenger again to signal a sudden and dramatic ending to his 22nd professional victory.
As he returned to the scene of his epic win over Wladimir Klitschko, there would be more moments of concern for Joshua as he was wobbled and hurt in the early rounds, only to once again show his battling spirit to become the first man to stop Povetkin.
The rain-soaked stadium was lit up by pyrotechnics as Povetkin, decked out in a black robe, marched towards the ring, followed by the home favourite, whose entrance was announced by a rapper and raucous cheers from the huge crowd.
But the battles cries turned to gasps at ringside in the first round as Joshua was staggered by a left hook from Povetkin, who had menacingly stalked through the opening few minutes.
With blood dripping from Joshua's injured nose, Povetkin waited for another moment to pounce in the second and again found his range with a hurtful hook.
Joshua's defences remained worryingly easy for Povetkin to penetrate in the third as he rammed in an overhand right, before ducking low to deliver a hook, but the Brit began to reply with crisp counters.
A wayward elbow opened a cut over Povetkin's right eye in the fourth, briefly stalling his charge, and Joshua tried to force him onto the back foot with stinging jabs.
Povetkin would not be deterred easily and he unloaded hooks from either hand in the fifth, but Joshua used nimble footwork and his accurate left hand to neutralise the veteran in the sixth.
After finally gaining the measure of his determined foe, Joshua would create an explosive finale to the fight in the following round.
A straight right hand sent shockwaves through the legs of Povetkin, and a left hook followed by a right sent him crashing to the canvas. Povetkin clambered upwards in a daze and Joshua delivered a succession of crunching shots to signal a stunning finish.

“Anyone who mentions my name is fooling you, I don't have any anointed candidate'' - Bola Tinubu tells APC members



Former Lagos state governor and APC National leader, Bola Tinubu, has informed the state party members that he does not have any anointed candidate that will become governor of the state come 2019.
Tinubu who has been alleged to have sworn that the incumbent governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, will not be returning in 2019, said this when he spoke at a party meeting recently.
''Anyone who comes to me, kneeling down to be anointed is wasting his time. When I went to the Senate, it was the party members that voted for me in the Primaries, in 1999 when I wanted to be Governor, it was party members that voted for me to get the ticket. Anyone who mentions my name is fooling you, I don't have any anointed candidate, vote for whoever you want'' he said

Another Minister enmeshed in NYSC certificate forgery scandal. This time it's Adebayo



Barely a week after former Minister of Finance Kemi Adeosun resigned after she owned up to been in possession of a forged NYSC dischage certiticate, another Minister in the cabinet of President Buhari has been accused of forging his NYSC certicate.
According to a new report by Premiumtimes, Minister of Communication, Adebayo Shittu, allegedly failed to participate in the NYSC scheme despite graduating from the then University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) at age 25. Read the report as Published by Premumtimes below
Another minister serving in President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet has been found to have skipped the mandatory national youth service scheme, an offence that may see him lose his position and earn him jail term.
The Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, failed to participate in the NYSC scheme despite graduating from the then University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) at age 25, PREMIUM TIMES can authoritatively report
The revelation about Mr. Shittu, who is currently angling to become Oyo State governor, is coming to light about a week after Kemi Adeosun was compelled to step down from her post as Nigeria’s finance minister after this medium reported that she skipped national service and then procured a fake exemption certificate to cover her tracks.
Months of discreet checks at the NYSC headquarters showed that the communications minister did not present himself for service after graduation and is yet to do so till date.
Contacted Tuesday, Mr. Shittu admitted that he did not serve but claimed he thought his first political post after graduation could suffice as national service, a claim lawyers and NYSC insiders consider as ludicrous and untenable.
Skipping the compulsory national service is an offence under the NYSC law, punishable with up to 12 months imprisonment.
Employers are mandated by law to always request NYSC certificate of national service from employees as part of the conditions for hiring.
Mr Shittu, born on March 23, 1953, studied law at Ife, graduating in 1978. He proceeded to the Nigerian Law School, Lagos, qualifying as a lawyer in 1979.
Having earned a bachelors degree at the age of 25, Section 2 of the NYSC Act expects Mr Shittu to have participated in the year-long national service
Section 2 (1) of the NYSC Act mandates all Nigerians who earn degrees or higher national diplomas from tertiary institutions in Nigerian and abroad (effective 1972/73 session) to participate in the scheme.
Those exempted by the law are those who graduated after their 30th birthday, persons with national honours and individuals who serve in the military and intelligence organisations.
Rather than enlist in the national service, Mr Shittu went into politics after graduation, and was, in 1979, elected member of the Oyo State House of Assembly.
The minister said he believed that having been elected lawmaker, he needed not participate in the national service.
He said he deliberatively skipped the NYSC scheme because he was convinced that his membership of the state assembly was itself a “service”.
“The constitution provides for the qualification needed for state assembly members, NYSC is not there,” Mr. Shittu said. “I didn’t need it to become a member of the state assembly, and that is already a service,” he said.
Mr Shittu disagreed with our reporter who laboured to explain to him that the NYSC Act makes participation in the scheme mandatory for all graduates like him and that election or appointment to political office does not qualify as a basis for exemption.
What the Law Says
Mr Shittu’s argument does not appear convincing when placed against the letters of the NYSC law.
Section 2, subsection 1 of the Act makes it obligatory for “every Nigerian” who graduate at the end of academic year 1972-73 and subsequent years, “to make himself available for service for a continuous period of one year from the date specified in the call-up instrument served upon him”.
Subsection 2 of the same section enumerated instances of exemption from the national service, which did not include holding political office, as Mr Shittu claimed.
The four categories of individuals exempted from the national service, according to the NYSC law, are those who graduated above the age of thirty, and those who have served in the armed forces or the Nigeria Police for a period of more than nine months.
The third category covers staff of four security organisations, namely the Nigerian Security Organisation, the State Security Service, the National Intelligence Agency and the Defence Intelligence Service.
Exemption status is also conferred on individuals who bagged national honours before graduation.
Illegalities?
Despite not possessing certificate of national service, Mr Shittu went on from being a state lawmaker, to occupying important government positions, including his current post as minister.
Mr Shittu is a former attorney general and commissioner for justice in his native Oyo State. He also served as member of the Oyo State Judicial Service Commission from 2004 to 2007.
In 2005, he was nominated minister by President Buhari, and later assigned the communications portfolio upon legislative screening.
It is not clear how he scaled screenings by the Oyo State House of Assembly, the SSS, and the National Assembly, who are all expected to screen commissioner and ministerial nominees before their appointment.
Mr Shittu is now aspiring for governorship of Oyo State.
Section 12 of the NYSC Act mandates all employers to demand the national service certificate of prospective employees before hiring.
Section 12 of the Act reads:
“For the purposes of employment anywhere in the Federation and before employment, it shall be the duty of every prospective employer to demand and obtained from any person who claims to have obtained his first degree at the end of the academic year 1973-74 or, as the case may be, at the end of any subsequent academic year the following:-
a. a copy of the Certificate of National Service of such person issued pursuant to section 11 of this Decree
b. a copy of any exemption certificate issued to such person pursuant to section 17 of this Decree
c. such other particulars relevant there to as may be prescribed by or under this Decree.”
Section 13 of the Act also criminalises skipping the national service as it prescribes 12 months imprisonment or fine of N2, 000 or both, for such offenders.
Lawyers speak
Lawyers who spoke to PREMIUM TIMES said the minister is in the breach of the NYSC law for skipping the national service.
“His membership of the state assembly is not the same as national service,” said Huwaila Mohammed, a Kano-based practitioner. “He needs to serve, because the section of the law dealing with exemption did not include political office holders like him.”
Another lawyer, Abdul Mahmud, agreed with Ms Mohammed’s position, saying the minister “is a dodger who is in breach of the law”.
He said by the provision of Section 12 of the NYSC Act, Mr Shittu ought to have presented his certificate of national service before he was cleared as minister.
“The provision is clear,” Mr. Mahmud said. “It says (you must serve) before you get any job in the federation.”
Mr Mahmud, who chairs the Abuja-based pressure group, Public Interest Lawyers League (PILL), said Mr Shittu’s “case is worse than that of Kemi Adeosun because he deliberately refused to serve”.
“If we assume as a member of the Oyo House he (Mr Shittu) served, did it not defeat objective 4 (b) stated in Section 1 (4) (b) of the NYSC Act? Members serve in states other than their own,” he said.
The lawyer said Mr Shittu should be arrested immediately by the police and made to face the law.
All positions he has held are illegal and he should return all monies he earned from those posts to government coffers.

Tupac Shakur is "alive and living in Cuba after being smuggled out of America by security firm" - Former security officer



Tupac Shakur was shot outside a nightclub in Las Vegas 22 years ago and was pronounced dead. But many fans still refuse to believe the rapper was killed in the drive-by shooting.
And now Michael Nice, a former security officer has prompted more talk of a conspiracy by claiming Tupac is alive and living in Cuba.
The British conspiracy theorist claims he was part of a security team that helped the rapper escape Las Vegas and smuggled him to the Caribbean. He now believes Tupac is still hiding on the island.
Speaking to TMZ, he said:
Why you think nobody been arrested if they said they the one that killed Tupac?
Because Tupac is not dead. If he was dead, they’d be arresting those dudes for murder.
You know he’s somewhere smoking a Cuban cigar on an island.
Michael claims he worked as security for far-left political party The Black Panthers – movement Tupac’s parents Adeni Shakur and Billy Garland were involved in - during the late 1990s. He says they heard that a hit had been put out on Tupac and deployed Michael to get him out of the country. But it was too late. On September 7, 1996, Tupac was shot.
Tupac Shakur is "alive and living in Cuba after being smuggled out of America by security firm" - Former security officer
But Michael claims he was only injured. He says he helped Tupac leave the country before someone else delivered the rapper to safety.
Michael added:
It was me, my bother, the pilot, Tupac as the co-pilot and two Panther guys on the jet.
We took off and immediately knew we were safe, we felt good and it was like escaping from prison.
There were hugs and handshakes when we finally managed to get him to Barbados.
We helped him escape and it was the best feeling.
Then my brother helped him get to Cuba from there.
In July it was revealed that police investigating the murder of Tupac are still looking for suspects, despite former gang member Duana 'Keefe D' Keith's admission last week.
In a new documentary, Keefe D admitted he was in the car that fired the shots, although he refused to say who pulled the trigger.
But the Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed that despite his confession, the homicide case remains open.

Ghana Immigration set to deport 72 Nigerian women allegedly engaged in prostitution



Seventy-two Nigerian women and a Togolese are to be deported by the Enforcement Unit of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) for being in the country illegally.
Most of the Nigerian deportees were also said to have engaged in prostitution in Ghana, apart from lacking the requisite resident permits.
They were arrested along with nine Ghanaians in a swoop at the Redco Flats neighborhood at Madina in Accra on Thursday, September 20.
The Ghanaians are to be handed over to the Ghana Police Service for prosecution.
Briefing newsmen during a Press Conference yesterday, Public Affairs of the GIS, Deputy Superintendent of Immigration (DSI), Linda Asare Mantey, at a press briefing said the swoop was based on intelligence the service gathered.
According to her, 20 of the suspects were arrested at the Junior Hotel at Madina whilst the rest were arrested in the same vicinity, which is noted for prostitution activities.
She said the foreign nationals would be repatriated to their home countries whilst the Ghanaian nationals would be handed over to the police for further investigations and prosecution.
Illegalities.
Supt. Mantey said although eight of the foreign nationals claimed they had passports, they could not produce any such documents, explaining that “the GIS has requested for their travel certificates from the Nigerian High Commission as well as the Togo Embassy to send them back to their various countries.”
The suspects, she said, had refused to give details of their presence in the country, including when they entered Ghana.
According to her, the suspects “have built ghettos and kiosks where they operate,” adding that some of the suspects were arrested in the act.
“It is illegal to come to the country and engage in prostitution,” she said, cautioning prospective foreign nationals and Ghanaians who engage in such practices to desist from it.
Supt. Mantey also cautioned owners and managers of hotel facilities who hire their facilities out to irregular migrants and locals to use for prostitution to refrain from it, saying “We will go after them.”
She gave a hint that the Enforcement Unit of GIS would embark on similar exercises in other areas where both irregular foreign nationals and locals engage prostitution activities.

26-year-old Nigerian, Silas Adekunle becomes the highest paid robotics engineer in the world


Silas Adekunle, a 26-year-old Nigerian, credited for building the world’s first gaming robot, has just become the highest paid in the field of Robotic engineering. He achieved this feat after signing a new deal with the world’s reputable software manufacturers, Apple Inc.
The robotics engineer was also named as “Someone to Watch in 2018” by the Black Hedge Fund Group. Adekunle is currently the founder and CEO of Reach Robotics, a company developing the world’s first gaming robots.
He also recently graduated with a 1st class degree and has four years’ background in robotics. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Adekunle studied in Nigeria before relocating to the UK as a teenager. After completing his secondary school education, he proceeded to the University of the West of England where he graduated with a first class graduate in Robotics. In 2013, he founded Reach Robotics and developed a lot of experience on robotics within a space of four years.
Adekunle was also a team leader of Robotics In Schools programme, a programme which encourages and pays attention to students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The programme encouraged him to develop robotics to make education more entertaining for STEM students. In 2017, MekaMon, he released the world’s first gaming robot, with the special ability to customise the gaming bot to perform personalised functions.
The initial launch of Mekamon sold 500 bots, generating $7.5 million, according to The Guardian. Following this feat, Adekunle received support from various organisations including London Venture Partners ($10 million) and in the same year, his company, Reach Robotics signed a deal with Apple securing exclusive sales in Apple stores. “Impressed by the quality of his robots and their ability to show emotion with subtly-calibrated movements, Apple priced his four-legged “battle-bots” at $300 and has put them in nearly all of its stores in the United States and Britain. “Early customers skew towards male techies but a growing number of parents are buying the robots for their children to get them interested in STEM, Adekunle told Forbes in an interview this year.
The young entrepreneur who once indicated that the secrets to his success are “balance, shared ideas, time management and being oneself”, was recently listed in the 2018 Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe: Technology. Adekunle, who has taken over the world with his inventiveness, is currently located at the Bristol Robotics Lab which is said to be the best robotics research centre in the UK.

NCC clears the air on Teolology’s final takeover of 9mobile



Contrary to viral news reports that Teleology Holdings Limited’s takeover of embattled 9mobile is delayed as a result of $100 million debt, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has refuted the claims.
Prof Umar Garba Danbatta, Executive Vice Chairman of the commission, who was earlier quoted to have made the disclosure of the debt, said the reports were untrue. According to him, debt issue isn’t the hindrance to the takeover of 9mobile by the preferred bidder.
While describing the reports as “speculative and incorrect’’, the NCC Chief maintained that at no time did NCC or himself mention that $100 million debt was delaying 9mobile takeover.
“I want to disabuse the minds of Nigerians that information isn’t correct; it isn’t from me or the NCC. I never made such a statement. That is clearly not our position at NCC.”  – Danbatta
Recall that NCC, alongside the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), have on Wednesday, August 29, concluded the sale of 9mobile to Teleology Holdings Limited. The sale of the third largest telecoms to Teleology was valued at $500 million.
Last February, Teleology Holdings had emerged as the winner of a fiercely contested bidding exercise for 9mobile’s acquisition. The bidding exercise was supervised by Barclays Africa.
But ever since Teleology’s emergence as the winner, drama, and controversies have characterised its 9mobile acquisition bid. These controversies range from opposition posed by other bidders, to the alleged refusal of banks to lend Teleology the rest of the capital it needs to finalise the acquisition bid.
Despite these issues, Teleology Holdings was optimistic that the acquisition process would go on until finalised.
The background to the entire story
The problem with Etisalat Nigeria, now 9mobile, started last year 2017 after the telco defaulted on a $1.2 billion loan it obtained from a consortium of 13 Nigerian banks led by GTBank. This caused the parent company (Etisalat of the United Arab Emirates) to pull out and relinquish its 45% stake in the company.
Following this development, the CBN restrained the Nigerian banks from taking over the telco. The CBN instead, constituted an interim board to oversee the operations of the company.

Thailand’s Tourist Police chief says singling out Nigerians for investigation was needed as many are scamming marriage-seeking Thai women



Thailand’s Tourist Police are currently investigating all 1,400 Nigerians residing in Thailand after recent Romance Scams as five more Nigerians were arrested arrested.
Briefing journalists during a press conference on Saturday, September 15, Thailand’s Tourist Police Pol Maj-General Surachet Hakpal said that the Tourist police will soon conclude their focus on all 1,400 Nigerians living in Thailand.
Thailand?s Tourist Police chief says singling out Nigerians for investigation was needed as many are scamming marriage-seeking Thai women
Surachet said police would recheck Nigerians living in Thailand to ensure they are living in accordance with the purposes they stated in their entry visa applications.
Surachet said singling out the entirety of one nationality for police attention was needed after “many Nigerians” were found to be taking part in romance scams deceiving Thai women. He said five Nigerians had been arrested in romance scams.
Speaking during the press conference, he shared the progress so far of a police crackdown on romance scams.
Surachet said five Nigerians and 12 Thai accomplices from eight gangs had been arrested from 39 areas in Chon Buri, Surat Thani, Trat, Phitsanulok, Bangkok and other provinces for deceiving 48 marriage-seeking Thai women out of Bt5.9 million.
The suspects were members of eight different networks of online love scammers preying on Thai women.
Combined teams of police arrested the suspects in Bangkok, Chon Buri, Nakhon Si Thammarat and other provinces between Aug 30 and Sept 13 following complaints by victims duped into wiring money into scammers’ bank accounts.
Surachet previously launched an ongoing series of nationwide raids focused on tourists and migrant workers. The raids were initially labelled as “Operation Black Eagle”.
He was in August given the additional job of assistant spokesman for Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Prawit Wongsuwan.
Police have been tracking down people involved in online romance scams since January. To date, there have been 140 cases with damage amounting to 81 million baht."

La La Anthony and Carmelo Anthony are fully back together



 La La Anthony 39, and, Carmelo Anthony, 34, have settled their differences and rekindled their romance one-year after they went their separate ways following a string of cheating allegations.
This comes after La La attended the Anthony’s Melo Made apparel exhibition in New York, where they were seen happily posing for pictures together.
According to Page Six, the couple who both share an 11-year old son Kiyan Carmelo Anthony are happily back together.
“They’ve reconciled. They were at the Fear of God presentation for New York Fashion Week. They arrived separately, but were holding hands in the VIP balcony and left holding hands in the middle of the Q&A,” a source told Page Six.
The couple were spotted together at various events over the year since they called it quits. It never really seemed like they were apart — even though La La, 39, maintains a separate household with the couple’s son, Kiyan Anthony.
“They are working their relationship out and they’ve always remained friends. They’re around each other and it’s for the betterment of their situation,” another friend of the couple explained to Page Six.
