Two Nigerians arrested for hacking into the mail of Ghana Armed Forces

Two middle aged Nigerians Peter Okechukwu, 32 and Emmanuel Ifedi, 31 years respectively have been apprehend by Security service of Ghana for alledged hacking into the mail of the nation's armed forces
The two had hacked  into the email e-mails of Continental African Trading Limited (CATAL) and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) GHANBATT 76  intercepted all electronic communications between the two parties replying the on behalf of each.
The two suspects using the identity of CATAL sent an email to the military instructing them to pay the sum of $13,978 into a United Bank for Africa account number 01011651102235 as part payment for the supply of the goods.
It was when the later didn't get information on payment for goods and a phone call initiated that it was discovered that their mails have been hacked.
The police was contacted and a surveillance at the bank premises led to the arrest of Okechukwu who later took them to Ifedi. Okechukwu said the mater-minder was Ifedi and he only made his account available. I just wonders why Nigerians persist in activities that continues to portray the image of the country negatively.

Such is the case for the son of Jigawa state's governor Sule Lamido who was apprehended with a whooping sum of money at the Muritala International airport. As ten thousand US dollars ($10,000) was the highest allowed in transit per passenger, Mr Aminu Lamido declared this to the custom agents. However the agents suspecting that it could be more conducted more searches on him only to find an additional Forty thousand US Dollars ($40,000) bringing the total to Fifty thousand US Dollars ($50,000).

SULE LAMIDO, seems to be thinking "yawa do gas"

 

When contacted EFCC sspokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren  confirmed the arrest to SaharaReporters,  saying that EFCC office in Kano will charge the governor's son to court as soon as practicable.

BANK SECREETLY LAYS OFF 1000 AGAIN

Members of the National Union of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions Employees, (NUBIFIE) are set to embark on total showdown in the sector to protect their jobs.

President of NUBIFIE, Danjuma Musa who disclosed this during an interview with newsmen yesterday in Ilorin, Kwara state said that over 1,000 members of the union have lost their jobs in just two banks.

The is the second time that Union Bank is doing such within a space of 13 months.
The decision which took the disengaged workers by surprise, was communicated to them at the close of work last Friday.

A source at the Dopemu branch of the Bank in Lagos who spoke to DailyPost on the condition of anonymity said: “It is quite depressing. They fired those of us that are Tellers but some marketers survived the axe. I received the news with great shock. How can they do this to us at this period when the festive season is fast approaching?” she queried.

Asked if any compensation was paid, the disheartened mother of one said: “I got an alert of N75, 000 this morning. I guess others got something in that range. I served them for five years and the best pay back I get is a sack letter two weeks to Christmas”
On her next line of action, the source in a shaky voice said: “What can I do? I will re-write my CV and go back to the labour market. I stay at home for years before I got this job, I just pray there won’t be repeat now that I have to start all over. It’s really sad.”
Information gathered was that Union Bank already has replaced the sacked members of staff with new hands recruited from Phillips Consulting and other outsourcing firms.

Our reporter called the Operations Manager of the Dopemu branch of Union Bank, Mr. T. C. Ogbonna to get his reaction.
 When questioned on the reason for the lay off, Ogbonna said: “My brother, I don’t know oo. I can’t say anything because I really don’t have the details.” Sensing the reporter will not drop the call without a cogent information, the official said “Please I am not in position to speak. You can call the Head of Human Resources or Corporate Communications.”

Another insider who confided in DailyPost said, Mr. Ogbonna may not likely give reasons so as to save his job. He is the current branch secretary of the Bank’s labour union.

CHARLES OKAH'S PRISON LETTER TO THE CARDINAL

CHARLES OKAH

November 19, 2012

Charles T. Okah
Single Cell Block
Kuje Prison
Abuja, Nigeria.

His Eminence
Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie
c/o Catholic Church Secretariat
Lagos, Nigeria.

Your Eminence:

October 1 2010 Bomb Blast Setup and Government Double Standard

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and I hope this letter meets you well. The reasons I choose to direct this letter to you are that I am a Catholic and you are an old boy of my alma mater, St. Gregory’s College, Lagos.

I write from Kuje Prison Abuja where two other Catholics and I have been languishing in solitary confinement for 2 years on trumped-up charges relating to the October 1, 2010 bomb attack claimed by the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND).

My name is Charles Tonbra Okah, aka Billy Bones. On October 16, 2010 my residence in Apapa GRA was invaded by operatives of the State Security Services on the warrant that I was the suspected spokesman for MEND using the pseudonym “Jomo Gbomo.” My eldest son, visiting from the United States where he attends the University of Kansas (KU) was also arrested.

At the SSS Headquarters Abuja where we were flown to blindfolded with our legs and hands bound, my ‘cooperation’ was solicited for something completely different to my surprise. My captors threw me a lifeline; offering me our freedom and a lucrative contract in exchange for false testimony against my younger brother Henry, who is resident in South Africa. I was to write a false statement claiming to have been told by Henry about the bomb plot and naming the following persons as his conspirators: Former Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, Mallam Nasir El Rufai, Chief Timipre Sylva, and Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan. I bluntly refused.

To maintain pressure on me, I was told that my son would be implicated in the bomb matter, my containers of legitimate imports then at the Tin Can Port would be impounded and my business destroyed. I still did not budge, tossing their lifeline back with royal disdain.

When they realized I was not going to connive in their scheme, they became formal and reverted to the main reason for my arrest. I was asked for the MEND password which I told them I did not know. They bound me in a chair, took off my trousers and clamped a device to my penis. My legs were then put inside a basin of water. The device when turned on passed a high voltage of electricity to my body and I lost consciousness. This was on Monday October 18 at about 6pm. When I regained consciousness, I discovered I was at the National Hospital emergency room. I remember the doctors asking why I had trauma marks on my chest where the SSS doctor performed Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). The SSS operatives were evasive in answering questions at the hospital. That night I was released and taken to rest for the night at the State House Clinic. That was the last time a torture was carried out on me.

My son was eventually released after Mr. Femi Falana visited in the company of my wife after a month of being denied access to a lawyer. However, my containers have been impounded up to date and my bank account frozen.

The SSS stopped asking about the MEND password after Jomo Gbomo made another statement while I was in their custody but refused to still let me go because I did not cooperate earlier with them. Meanwhile in the ongoing trial in South Africa, Henry is accused of being the same Jomo Gbomo by the same people who say I am JG.

Double Standard in Kuje Prison:

On December 24, 2010 we were remanded in Kuje prison as a result of our application to be removed from the SSS detention cell. Unknown to us, the SSS passed instructions from “above” to the prison authorities to carry out “special treatment” in order to stampede us into a trial towards conviction. For 2 years we have been locked up in solitary confinement, are not allowed to exercise or get sunlight outside and are forced to sleep on the floor when bunk beds are available. Even a court order by Justice Gabriel Kolawole to the prison for a change in our confinement style was ignored after it was superseded by an ‘order from above.”

In late 2011, while locked up inside our cell block, prison officials clothed in protective apparel, face masks and gloves carried out fumigation without opening us to wait outside. Our protests fell on deaf ears and by the time they were finished we were in distress. The Youth Corper doctor on call tried her best within her limits to the emergency she was confronted with. The poisonous gas and barbaric action reminiscent of the Nazi concentration camp infamous gas chambers, eventually led to the death of one Francis Osuwo, aka Gboko, also roped into this case by the SSS and a man I have never met before. Interestingly, the four persons in detention were strangers to each other except for one Obi Nwabueze who is a family friend and close associate of Henry.

The fumigant whose chemical constituent were never relayed to us have affected my neurological system and I have been on a daily prescription of strong neurological medication prescribed by a neurologist of the National Hospital, Professor Bwala.

While the Boko Haram suspects at Kuje prison are allowed to worship in the prison mosque, we have never set foot in the prison chapel. They are also enjoying privileges such as cable television, radio, liberty to move within the prison walls, bunk beds to sleep on and phone calls to their families. We are denied all of the above.

When I asked the current Controller of FCT Command the reason for the disparity, he said “the fear of Boko Haram is the beginning of wisdom.” He further said the Moslem community was concerned about their welfare in custody.

Double Standard in the Court:

Even in the Courts where justice is supposed to be blind, the double standard is glaring. While Senator Ndume, accused of being a financier to Boko Haram was given bail by the same Judge presiding over our case, we have been denied bail.

I understand that this Senator was permitted by the same court to travel on his religious obligation to Mecca for the lesser Hajj while we are refused from attending mass in a chapel less than 50 meters from our cell block.

The court is willing to permit the Senator approval to travel abroad for his medical check if he can provide proof that such check up is not done locally. Meanwhile, I have been denied my application to go on a compulsory checkup which in my case is mandatory for a kidney donor, having donated my left kidney to my mother 30 years ago.

Our cases have been adjourned repeatedly for cruelly long durations. The last time I appeared in court was March 2012 and the next adjourned date is January 31. 2013, that is if that date will not be shifted again under a flimsy excuse.

All we ask is for a free and fair justice from an independent Judiciary that should release us instead of holding us as scapegoats over an obvious power show. While this government continues holding us hostage, our families are becoming destitute.

Our rights to freely worship as Catholics is being infringed by the state who have more respect for Islam when all religions should be treated equally.

Double Standards in the Polity:

The National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd.) was quoted as saying that the government of President Goodluck Jonathan has the phone numbers of suspected Boko Haram sponsors. Later the Inspector General of Police said certain individuals had been put on a “watch list” as suspected Boko Haram sponsors.

Now the big question is why did the government not simply have our phone numbers and put us also on its ‘watch list” while we move about freely? They did not hesitate to arrest us, clamp us on trumped-up charges and detain us on flimsy excuses. They did not merely talk, they took action even in South Africa where my brother was arrested since 2010. Is there a better word to describe this other than hypocrisy?

The same government eager to negotiate with Boko Haram who claimed responsibility for over 100 attacks where Catholics have suffered the brunt, have refused to negotiate with MEND and continue to delude themselves that all is well.

Why would this government expect Boko Haram to unmask it leaders and negotiate when they can see that perceived leaders and supporters of MEND are being persecuted and jailed?

I welcome a fact-finding visit from the Church in the company of credible Human Rights groups to verify our allegations.

On the two occasions Kuje Prison was visited by the Bishop of Abuja during the Christmas of 2010 and 2011, he was surreptitiously steered away from where were we are held hostage and I believe he has no idea of what is going in inside Kuje prison.

Our prayers is that leaders of our Churches will be more sensitive and proactive in politics of the land that touches the lifes of their followers and not leave delicate issues solely in the hands of corrupt and selfish politicians, and majority of the population rid of a “Potiphar” mentality who believe lies when told by SSS.

May God save our beloved country.

Yours Sincerely,

Charles T. Okah

WHY WE FAILED NIGERIA BY PRESIDENT JONATHAN

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday explains why his administration had erred in his electoral promise to deliver as promised in his campaign manifesto.

 He ascribed this to the security problem in the country as his administration is being distracted by the religious sect, boko haram which has claimed responsibilities for the killings of hundred of Nigerians and bombing of religious houses in the northern part of the countries.

Citing this at the 60^th National Executive Council meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party, he went further to state that Job creation is one of the priorities of his government.

He however expresses optimism that the menace of the sect will soon be reduced to enable sustainable development in the country.

He also used the opportunity to express his fear about the activities of the opposition parties saying 

“The opposition parties want to drown the PDP. We believe that if we do not have a party as robust as the PDP, probably, the republic would have collapsed. Because we witnessed what happened in the First Republic and we know the circumstances that led to the collapse of the First Republic and the Second Republic.

 “We know what is happening in other African countries. If the ruling party over intimidates and over imposes, using the weight of the Federal Government; and the citizens revolt, it weakens the political system and creates confusion and instability. 

“But the PDP, even though, we control the Federal Government, we operate a system that even the opposition fly higher than us. They abuse us more, but we allow it. It is the PDP’s handling of the affairs of the country that is stabilizing democracy in the country.”

PATIENCE JONATHAN BECOMES FIRST NIGERIA FIRST LADY TO BECOME PERMANET SECRETARY

The first lady of Nigeria Dame Patience Jonathan yesterday made history with her appointment as a permanent secretary in the services of the Bayelsa State government.

PERMANENT SECRETARY IN ACTION

She is one of 17 other top senior civil servants appointed by the present governor of the state Mr. Seriake Dickson according to a statement released by the Head of Civil Services Mrs Gloria Izonfo stating that this was done in accordance with the constitutional power conferred on Governor Seriake Dickson in section 203 sub-Section 2C of the Nigeria Constitution.

The state government has said that her appointment into the office of permanent Secretary was due to long service in the Rivers State Civil Service which has been transferred to Bayelsa state.

It should however be noted that it is section  208 and not section 203 of the constitution that guides the appointment of Permanent Secretaries.

DAME PATIENCE IN CELEBRATION MOOD

It should  be however be noted that this appointment has been solely reserved for senior civil servants in active service who are believed to be in the best position to supervise and direct all day to day activities of the appropriate ministries.

GIVING OUT INSTRUCTION

PLANE BELLY CRASHED LAND IN NIGERIA AGAIN

Nigeria's Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah. What is she still doing in office?

 A Diamond DA 2 MPP aircraft marked with 5N-BKS, belonging to presidential committee on maritime. PICOMMS   was involved in a serious incident of belly-landing at Benin Airport around 11a.m on Thursday 5th of July 2012. However, no casualty was recorded.

According to information made available by the spokesperson of Accident investigation bureau, Mr. Tunji Oketunbi, no casualty was involved. 

Information from some sources said that there only two individuals in the plane which were a pilot and another pilot-in-training and the plane had to crash land due to failure of the nose wheel or the landing gear to retract. 

This is happening at a moment when the mourning of victims of the Dana airways were yet to be concluded and at this time a government aircraft is involved. 

ABACHA'S SON MAY BE JAILED AGAIN

The evil that men does lives after them so goes Williams Shakespeare's quote. Abba Abacha, son of the late of the late Nigeria Military Head of state, Late Gen. Sani Abacha who died in power may be sentenced to prison again.

 This is due to his absence at his retrial by a swiss high court again last Wednesday. He had earlier been sentenced in absentia to the two year suspended prison term and also his assets confiscated for misappropriation and stealing of public funds when his father was the head of Nigeria government

But he won an appeal at the Swiss Federal Tribunal citing procedural irregularities after which the court ordered the sentence annulled and retrial.

This time around he had stated his inability to appear to be due to head injuries and whiplash he sustained during a recent a road traffic accident.

“People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I’ve learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one’s reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one’s master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person’s view requires to be faked…The man who lies to the world, is the world’s slave from then on…There are no white lies, there is only the blackest of destruction, and a white lie is the blackest of all.”                                                                                                                                                                       Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Nigeria Is The 6th Most Dangerous Country to live in Africa

According to the Global Peace Index, conducted by the Research Institute of Economics & Peace. It recently released its top 10 most dangerous African countries in 2012 and Nigeria was number 6.
This may is said to be due the persistent and continuous attack by boko haram in the northern part of the country and also frequent kidnapping for ransom by people suspected to be members of Movement for Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) in the southern part of the country.

These are also compounded by state of deplorable infrastructures in the country for example hundreds of thousand lost their lives in road traffic accidents due to the deplorable state of Nigeria roads every year

The ranking is based on countries most affected by war, terrorism, political instability, regular violence etc.

Here's the top 10 Most Dangerous Countries in Africa 2012

PRESIDENT JONATHAN ACTUALLY PRAYED FOR A TURBULENT ADMINISTRATION



PRESIDENT JONATHAN ACTUALLY PRAYED FOR A TURBULENT ADMINISTRATION

PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN



Only a few people are actually aware of the fact that the President of Nigeria Dr. Ebele Goodluck Jonathan had actually prayed for a turbulent administration on July 14, 2011 at the swearing for the then newly appointed Ministers.

Jonathan had said hard times await the new ministers as Nigerians, in their quest for the transformation of the economy, would mount pressure on them, stressing that 'there will difficult decisions and moments'.

He said 'the task ahead is not going to be an easy one. Remember the words of the late Tai Solarin, in a January 1, 1964 essay: 'May your road be rough,' he said. 'I am not cursing you; I am wishing you what I wish myself every year’.

I therefore repeat, may you have a hard time this year, may there be plenty of troubles for you this year! If you are not so sure what you should say back, why not just say, same on you? I ask no more! Obviously the road ahead of us may be rough, but with sincere and purposeful leadership, we will surely succeed in transforming this country.

Everything will be done to provide an enabling environment for you to be able to function efficiently. I will also personally ensure that we remain focused as a team, and that the confidence that the people repose in us, is not taken for granted'.

He went further to say 'There will be difficult decisions and tough moments ahead but we must, through our efforts, show that we are prepared to work in the best way to focus on the people's aspirations.

Sensing their discomfort then, the president reassured them saying that: “I am not cursing you; I am wishing you what I wish myself every year. I therefore repeat, May you have a hard time this year, may there be plenty of troubles for you this year!” Ha!

While other past heads of government would wish new appointees good luck after the usual tough talk, President Jonathan did it differently by invoking the prayers of the late Tai Solarin in a poem (May your days be rough-January 1, 1964)
As people were filing out of the Council Chamber after the ceremony, many were repeating the words to one another, with each one rejecting them either in the name of ‘Allah subhannahu wata-Allah’ or in ‘Jesus name’! They included the ministers just sworn-in and who were the recipients of the ‘curses.’
"Is this a prayer or a curse?" a very senior government officials asked no one in particular.

TAI SOLARIN

Whatever happens to the religious words which say 'your wishes shall be your possessions' or the philosophers' observations that say 'as man thinketh so he is?
