22 Chinese Nationals Plead Guilty to Commiting Cyber Crime In Zambia

Twenty-two Chinese nationals are set for sentencing on Friday after they pleaded guilty to committing cyber-related crimes in Zambia. They are among 77 suspects arrested in April in connection with a "sophisticated internet fraud syndicate." The operation targeted a Chinese-run company in Lusaka after some Zambians lost money through mobile and bank account scams. Other victims of the scam include some individuals in Singapore, Peru, the UAE, and various African nations.

Which kind of punishment do you advise the Zambian Authority to give them?

Choir Master Arrested For So**my and Murder of 10-Year-Old Boy in Ebonyi State

Igbere tv has reported that a middle aged man identified as Abraham has been arrested by security operatives in Ebonyi State after he was accused of having $3x with a little boy.

In a viral video spotted by our correspondent, the man was seen confessing to the crime and said he actually killed the boy when he wanted to expose the crime.

The man said he killed the little boy through poison (sniper) which he bought at Nwezenyi village because he was afraid of being exposed.

According to Jeremiah Obaji who shared the video, "So this man here who parade as a choir master has been devôurîg a male teenager through the nyash, this hapless boy was entrusted in his care but this bèàst took advantage of the poor minor without the knowledge of the mother."

"Story has it that he K!lled the boy because the boy reported it to someone."

"There's no pûñishment that would be enough to avenge the dèàth of the boy."

As at the time of filing this report, efforts to get the reaction of Ebonyi State Police Command proved abortive.

FG approves first aviation school in S/East Nigeria

Having met the technical evaluation by the FG, the Institute can now commence the process of admission of students through the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, and the students, upon completion of their studies, will be awarded national diploma and high national diploma, respectively.

Speaking on the approval, the founder and CEO of Eastwing Aviation, Dr. Christopher Edeh, urged youths to take advantage of the opportunity offered by the institution to achieve their dream of becoming pilots, aviation engineers, cabin crew or other functions found in the sector.

He said: “What this approval means for our youths is that every one of them now has the opportunity to explore this field, even if it means just coming to us for advice. The institution would encourage and help build the dream because we do not want you to stay idle after graduating.

“It has been my desire to give back to society considering what I have passed through from the day I joined the Nigerian Air Force.

“Being the first aviation school in the South-East region means a lot to us. It means that I am getting closer to my dream and I have reached that stage where society can benefit from me.”

Explaining the process of getting the institute certified, Edeh disclosed that he worked with former colleagues to realize the project. “Those who worked with me on this project were colleagues that we served together. They have been very supportive throughout this quest. It was purely a communal effort, what you would call ‘Wazobia’ and we are where we are today.”

The Eastwing Aviation Institute also recently established a non-governmental organisation to encourage less privileged youths who are talented and who meet the basic requirements but are not able to financially pursue their dreams.

According to the founder, “We are hopeful that the new dawn would encourage a huge turn up. Many people regard the aviation sector as rocket science; now we have brought it to their doorsteps. For interested candidates, there are many areas in this field they can fit in; go to airports, all you see are many people carrying luggage and we believe they can do more than that.”

Speaking further, Dr Edeh recounted: “A good example is one of the security personnel I worked with who was talented and hardworking. I realised this and encouraged him to do more for himself seeing that he has potential. Today, he is an aircraft maintenance engineer in one of the airlines.

Nigeria May Result To Two-State-Solution Under One Year If...
Arewa Consultative Forum Tell Tinubu

The pan-northern socio-political organisation, Arewa Consultative Forum, on Tuesday, called for urgent action as it said the hard times faced by the average Nigerian citizen were becoming unbearable.

While calling on Nigerians to pray for divine intervention, the group warned that Nigeria was gradually drifting into chaos as a result of the fuel subsidy removal.

It listed inflation, unemployment, and rapid deterioration in standards of living, coupled with incidents of insurgency, terrorism and banditry as some of the evils faced by Nigerians.

Rising from its National Executive Council meeting held at its Sokoto Secretariat, in Kaduna, on Tuesday, the northern group also blamed the hardship on the introduction of taxes and levies by the Federal Government.

A communique issued at the end of the one-day meeting by the National Publicity Secretary of the ACF, Prof. Tukur Muhammad-Baba, called on Nigerians to rally around the Federal Government in prayers for divine intervention on the current economic hardship in the land.

Besides, the northern body cautioned government officials against recklessness in spending public funds.

The communique read in part: “With grave concern, the body regrets and decries the continuing deterioration or escalation in the spate of insecurity-related incidents in all the three geopolitical zones under which the northern states are grouped.

“These problems reflect the region’s cascading political, social, and economic challenges. NEC reiterates ACF’s earlier expressed position that the emergent protracted dimension of these problems, if untamed, are harbingers of citizens’ discontent, and social chaos.

“Equally worrisome is the widening regional disparities in social demographic factors, such as access to education, health, public infrastructure, economic inclusion, political participation, living conditions, etc.

“Governments must move to curb such disparities to ensure that Nigeria does not become two-states-in-one year

“Factors that unify rather than divide citizens along any lines should attract the attention of all concerned, government and citizens alike.”

It called for definitive action by governments at all levels to confront what it termed a rapid decline in the living conditions of citizens.

“The addition of new taxes and levies is becoming increasingly burdensome and too heavy to bear for ordinary Nigerians.

“The need for a rollout of public policy programmes and projects aimed at addressing low purchasing power challenges is clearly indicated,” it stated.

The communiqué added, “On the national front and specifically applicable to the northern states, NEC notes that the times continue to be tough and challenging for the average citizen who is daily confronted with runaway inflation, unemployment, rapid deterioration in standards of living in the face of incidents of insurgency, terrorism and banditry, etc., problems that have remained dire, acute (or even chronic in some places in the North in particular.

“The immediate causes of the problems have been policies put in place by the government over the past months, including but not confined to removal of subsidies from the prices of petroleum products, floating of the Naira, and astronomical hike in the cost of poorly supplied electricity, increasing tariffs and taxes against the seemingly insensitive profligacy in spendings by public officials, to list a few.

“ACF acknowledges the efforts the federal, state and, to a little extent, local governments have been making to tackle the problems identified above.

“However, overall, it is undeniable, perhaps due to the quantum and widening dimension of the problems, that public policy response to the problems remains weak and ineffective at best.”

It called on citizens to rally around the government and offer prayers for God’s intervention in the various tribulations, for the country to translate into a new, prosperous Nigeria where justice, equity, love, righteousness and hope would replace the current despair and hopelessness.

Uzodimma’s ex-SA Chinasa Nwaneri, arrested for multiple allegations

Operatives of Imo State Police Command have arrested Governor Hope Uzodimma’s former Special Assistant, Nze Chinasa Nwaneri, over several allegations levelled against him, by some aggrieved persons.

Vanguard reports that the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Henry Okoye, equally disclosed that four other persons, including the President of Imo State Amalgamated Traders Association, ISAMATA, are equally cooling their heels in police custody, for allegedly being complicit in Nwaneri’s acts.

His words: “Be informed that the former Governor’s aide, Chinasa Nwaneri, ISAMATA President, and three others were arrested over allegations of malicious damage, fraudulent activities, obtaining money under false pretence and illegal use of government power/authority to harass, intimidate and frustrate the citizens of Imo State.”

Meanwhile, a top government appointee confided in Vanguard that “the alleged fraudulent land acquisitions in the past four years, not only foisted bad corporate image for the Uzodimma administration, but also attracted several litigations, instituted by aggrieved individuals and communities against the government.”

Ireland, Norway, Spain to officially recognise Palestine on May 28

Norway, Ireland, and Spain have announced that their countries will formally recognise Palestine as an independent state in the interest of “peace in the Middle East”.

Jonas Store, Norway’s prime minister, said a two-state solution was also in Israel’s best interest.

Store, who spoke yesterday, added that Norway’s formal recognition of Palestine as a state would be made on May 28.

“There cannot be peace in the Middle East if there is no recognition. In the midst of a war, with tens of thousands killed and injured [in Gaza], we must keep alive the only alternative that offers a political solution for Israelis and Palestinians alike — two states, living side by side, in peace and security,” the prime minister said.

Pedro Sanchez, Spain’s prime minister, also slated May 28 as the date when the country’s council of ministers would recognise an independent Palestinian state.

Sanchez accused Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, of putting the two-state solution in “danger” with his policy of “pain and destruction” in Gaza, adding that Spain’s recognition was a decision “for peace, for justice and for coherence”.

“Spain will be accompanied by other European countries. The more there are of us, the sooner we will achieve a ceasefire. We are not going to give up. Recognition is not just the end, it’s just the beginning.

“This recognition is not an attack on anyone, nor a recognition against the Jewish people, nor is it in favour of Hamas,” he said.

Shortly after Norway’s announcement, Ireland’s Prime Minister, Simon Harris, said his country would also recognise a Palestinian state, but did not specify when.

“Today, Ireland, Norway, and Spain are announcing that we recognise the state of Palestine.

“Each of us will now undertake whatever national steps are necessary to give effect to that decision,” Harris said at a news conference.

Suspected Armed Fulani Herdsmen attacked villages in northcentral Nigeria's Plateau state, killing at least 12 people according to authorities on Tuesday.

While local witnesses reported at least 40 deaths, officials confirmed 12 casualties.

The attackers, on motorcycles, opened fire in the Wase district's Zurak community, forcing many villagers to flee.

The raid followed a security operation targeting the assailants' hideouts. This incident is part of ongoing violence between nomadic herders and rural farmers over land and water control, which has claimed hundreds of lives in the region.

Locals criticize the slow response of security forces and the rarity of arrests after such attacks.

Nigerian lady breaks Guinness World Record for the 3rd time making wigs

A Nigerian lady, Helen Williams, has set a world record for making the ‘wildest wig’, the Guinness World Record revealed on Monday.

The GWR stated in a blog post that Helen “crafted a hairpiece that’s 3.65 m (11 ft 11 in) wide and trails all the way to the floor,” which is equivalent to a Mini Cooper, which is 3.63 m (11 ft 10 in) long.

It also stated that she spent over a month making her latest record-breaking creation, using over 800 bundles of auburn hair, which cost 4,138,200 Naira ($2,719; £2,150) on the materials.

The GWR also disclosed that the 31-year-old made her very wide wig mostly by hand but used a sewing machine for some parts.

Speaking of her feat, Helen, who also holds the record for most hair clips in a wig in 30 seconds with 90, said, “I am very proud of myself. I now hold three records.

“As a professional wig maker, I look forward to breaking many more records in the wig category. I enjoy taking on difficult tasks; it makes me a better person and I learn new things.”

Helen also revealed that she drew her inspiration from actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore, a former record holder. “I am a big fan of Drew Barrymore, she also inspired me,” Helen said.

Helen currently boasts three records, including one for inserting 90 hair clips into a wig in just 30 seconds, and another for creating the longest handmade wig.

“I Have Cãged The Minds And Spirits Of My Members. Even When I Iηsυlt Them, They Will Be Looking And Laughing Like Mυmυ” ~ Evang. Ebuka Obi Boasts In His Church

In his words: "Because there are so many preachers when they are preaching, nobody is listening to them.

So before I preach to you, I will first of all chain your spirit to listen to what I'm saying before I come back to preach to you. I have already chained the spirit of people I'm speaking to, because somebody plants a seed, some seed, he planted dîed. And I don't want to plant a seed that will dîe before I come out so I caged your spirits.

I have spent hours in the presence of God, so when I come out and speaking to you, you wouldn't know what is magneting you and your spirit. Even when I insúlt you Instead of you to be angry with me over what I say, you will instead be will be laughing, it's a divine magnet.

Your heart has been controlled and chained because some of the word I speak here supposed to make all of you to be angry, but you end up laughing like a mumú because your spirit has been controlled in my spiritual altar. A na aru ya aru (speaking in Igbo) it is spiritual.”

Opinion: Reno List Out Useless Course That Has No Significance In Nigeria.

Why would you spend four years of your life, and the equivalent of $10,000 studying a course that has no relevance as a profession in the Twenty-First Century? Forget about your pride and ego for a minute. Try and be objective. Apart from teaching the course at a university, where can you work as a professional if you study the following courses in a Third World country facing developmental challenges:

Sociology, Philosophy, Anthropology, Linguistics, Religious Studies, Political Science, etc.

Go abroad. Many universities have stopped offering these courses. Please fact-check me: Education boards in America have a list of 1400 outdated degree courses. Yet, in Black African nations, we are graduating such degree holders in their hundreds of thousands every year. Then they graduate and cannot find a job (no surprise), and they blame the government.

If this were six months of your life and the course cost $100, then it could be argued that the time, money and effort were worth it. But come on, four years of your life and $10,000 of your parents' money for that? Education is an investment. That is why banks and governments offer student loans. The idea is that you invest in an asset, not a liability.

Reading such courses is like taking a bank loan to open a video rental club. Who rate videos in this Netflix generation?

As a sociologist, what do they teach you at your university that I cannot get in one millisecond on Google?

You are better off learning a skill, like Nursing, Cloud Computing, Web Design, Ethical Hacking, Blockchain, etc, and using that money as seed capital to set yourself up in business, than studying a course with no professional relevance and high demand, with the expectation that someone would employ you. You can even learn those courses for free on Udemy and Coursera.

If you must invest that time and money on a degree, ensure it is a Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematical, Business, or Medical field.

Even beyond the irrelevance of many of these courses, Artificial Intelligence has programmed many degree courses for planned obsolescence. Sadly, AI will eliminate Accountants and some aspects of the legal profession. Hey, please don't hate me. I'm just the messenger.

Of course, those who have already graduated from these useless courses will defend it. But look at their lives. What did Peter Obi, who read Philosophy at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, achieve in government? He did not build a single school in eight years. Instead, he built a brewery. A doctor, engineer, pharmacist, or economist would have had better priorities.

That is why Kwankwaso, an Engineer, built over a hundred schools, including the best public university in the Northwest, and another public university, along with polytechnics and colleges. But Philosophy graduate built brewery. Garbage in, garbage out!

I know it is not what you want to hear. But the truth is bitter and better.
