This is very bad..

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 general election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the immediate past President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki saturday tackled the All Progressives Congress (APC) for linking them to a suspected cyber-criminal, Ramon Olorunwa Abbas (a.k.a. Hushpuppi).

APC’s call on anti-graft agencies to investigate reports linking some PDP leaders and Hushpuppi stoked stern reactions from Abubakar and Saraki with both of them claiming that the ruling party was playing dirty politics.

In a statement by its spokesperson, Yekini Nabena yesterday, the APC asked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) and other sister agencies to investigate some PDP leaders and financiers.

The APC noted that the PDP leadership turned Dubai into their strategic meeting place ahead of the 2019 general elections in Nigeria, adding that Hushpuppi’s affinity with the PDP leadership was not mere coincidence.

It said reports of the criminal conspiracy linking the top echelon of the PDP with Hushpuppi who was recently arrested along with associates in Dubai and extradited to the United States to face trial over cyber-enabled fraud and Business Email Compromise (BEC) schemes should be a matter of serious interest to relevant authorities in Nigeria.

It said: “At different times, “Hushpuppi” was been photographed in Dubai meeting with the PDP’s 2019 presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar; former Senate President, Bukola Saraki; former Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; Senator Dino Melaye among other PDP stalwarts.”

The ruling party said while relevant authorities investigate the nature of their relationship and business partnership, he also challenged the PDP leadership to do the same by opening up on the nature of the relationship, particularly the kind of services Hushpuppi provided them.

Reacting to the allegations through his media aide, Mr. Yusuph Olaniyonu, Saraki accused the APC of playing irresponsible and cheap politics that had weakened ongoing efforts against corruption.


He said: “The statement credited to the APC, the ruling party in our country, is one of the ways by which our anti-graft agencies are weakened, why the fight against corruption in the country is often viewed with suspicion by the international community.

“This is because when these cyber-crime suspects were operating freely and openly displaying wealth, the APC saw nothing bad in their activities. Also, the party at that time did not deem it necessary to call on the anti-graft agencies to investigate their activities.

“Also, since the arrest of those cybercrime suspects and the subsequent damage to the image and the economy of Nigeria as well as the crisis it created for Nigerians engaged in lawful businesses across the world, the ruling party had been muted.

“The only time the APC deemed it necessary to make a statement was when it thought it should play dirty, cheap, and irresponsible politics. At this point, we call on the APC to rein in the so-called Yekini Nabena and compel him to desist from making and circulating such malicious claims.”

Abubakar, though his media adviser, Paul Ibe, said his principal didn’t meet with the suspected cybercriminal, hedging that it was only “a mere photo-op.”

“We would advise the APC and Mr. Nabena to be very mindful of such senseless statements in the future especially as the case under reference is a subject of litigation in another country,” the statement read.

“Had they been more sensitive, they would have come to terms with the reality that the case is a national embarrassment – not something to cheer about for any political blackmail.”

On Friday, Hushpuppi, whose real name is Raymond Abass, was charged with the conspiracy to commit money laundering before a United States court, one for which he could get a maximum jail term of 20 years if convicted

Wow

The police in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, have explained why popular

Nigerian Instagram celebrity, Hushpuppi, was arrested on June 10, 2020.

UAE’s online newspaper, The National, reported on Wednesday that he was arrested on multiple fraud charges along with 12 other accomplices.

The paper also revealed his real name as Raymond Abbas and his real age as 38 years.

His case has been referred to the Dubai Public Prosecution and is currently being questioned by prosecutors at the Bur Dubai section, the paper reported.

“The prosecutors have charged him for “obtaining money from others through fraudulent means,” the paper said.

According to The National, security officers in UAE arrested Hushpuppi and the 12 others against widespread belief that it was Interpol that carried out the operation.

“They would send out letters from email addresses almost identical to those of legitimate companies targeting customers of these companies with the purpose of diverting payments to themselves,” said a senior prosecutor quoted by the paper.

“Initial information includes that he was part of this gang which fraudulently obtained cash and cars from people.

“His statement was taken by prosecution but this is just the beginning of prosecution investigations.”

The paper also reported that Hushpuppi is wanted for fraud crimes in Europe, the United States and Nigeria.

The 38-year-old has over two million followers on Instagram where he is famed for displaying wealth and a life of luxury.

Rest in peace

This is heart breaking, seeing elderly men behaving like beasts..

The truth shall one day come to light but as for now we really can't tell who's right.

What is this country turning into?

Almost 4 month since the Federal Government decided to close schools as part of the measures in curtailing the spread of the coronavirus in the country, still, no hope seems to be in sight on school resumption.

In March, schools alongside some other sectors such Transportation, Businesses among others were suspended during the enforced lockdown in the country.



However, fast forward to almost 4 months during which the government at the central gradually eased out the lockdown, schools still remain shut.

The ban on Markets, churches, mosques, Banks, inter-state travel, domestic flights e.t.c have all been lifted but still schools remain closed.







Students still remain at home, hopeful of the day they would be asked to resume back to schools but such hope gets slimmer and slimmer every day.

When the Federal Government initially declared the safe reopening of schools for graduating students so they can start preparations towards writing their terminal examinations, it brought relief to these students and there was the belief that maybe sooner than later, schools would be fully reopened for others as well.

However, such high hopes were shattered soon enough as the Federal Government decided to rescind it's earlier decision and suspended the school reopening while also canceling the West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination(WASSCE) for graduating SS 3 students.



While disclosing the government decision to suspend the earlier planned resumption of schools, minister of Education , Mal. Adamu Adamu stated that schools can not resume because it is unsafe to do so. He noted that he would prefer that students lose a whole academic year instead of being exposed to danger.



However, the questions that have been on the lips of some students are when will it be safe to reopen schools? Are these students that are supposedly protected from danger not exposed to the same danger already through the lifting of ban on markets, religious centers e.t.c? What are the implications of students loosing a whole academic year?



This writer is of the opinion that schools should reopen this year and graduating students should be allowed to write their exams. Why?

1. There is no reason why schools should not reopen since the ban on markets, religious centres, movements as well as inter-state travel can be lifted. Imagine the size and rustiness of markets, what if any parent get infected there and easily transmit the infection to the children at home that are supposedly kept from the same danger? The virus can even spread faster through markets and other places than it would in the school, so why not just reopen schools under strict regulations to adhered to.

2. Already, there is already a wide gap in knowledge of these students because they have been kept away from their studies for too long, imagine the efforts it would take teachers to help these students catch up with the system when schools finally resume. Meanwhile the earlier schools reopen, the better for these students.

3. Students risk being lured into nefarious activities while at home. An idle hand they say is the devil's workshop. A student who should be in school but is at home doing nothing could easily fall into crime or even exposed to far more dangers. We already have enough of violence caused by illiteracy, there is no need to add to that.



4. There is already a fall in the standard of education in the country. The standard of good educationa is already very low, it could suffer even worse should schools continue to be kept locked. This is why Government should invest more in education and look at ways these schools can be reopened.





5. Teachers are suffering, majority of teachers especially private school teachers whose main source of livelihood depend solely on the salary they get paid by the school owners are really suffering at the moment. This is because no money is coming in for these set of people and the government is not offering anything to alleviate them of their suffering for the mean time. These set of teachers standard of living could only get better if schools resume.



Conclusion: Government needs to do the needful and start taking proactive steps that would facilitate the reopening of schools albeit under strict guidelines to follow so that the academic year can be completed. Students should not be given automatic failure just like that.

This is kinda hard to believe though
