Body found as Brazil seeks missing Greek ambassador

Police in Rio de Janeiro have found a body inside a burnt-out car that had been rented by the Greek ambassador to Brazil, Kyriakos Amiridis.

Mr Amiridis, 59, went missing three days ago after travelling to Rio from Brasilia for the traditional New Year celebrations on Copacabana beach.
He was last seen on Monday in the city of Nova Iguacu on the outskirts of Rio, where the car was found.
Forensic experts are carrying out tests to establish the body's identity.
The ambassador's car was discovered under a flyover on one of the main access roads to Rio.
He had phoned his wife from a flat in Nova Iguacu on Monday saying he was about to go out. He has not been heard from since.
Police say it is unlikely that he was kidnapped, as no ransom has been sought.
Rio has a high crime rate and violent incidents are not unusual, especially in the busy season between Christmas and New Year, when hundreds of thousands of tourists travel to the city.

The expulsion of the Russian Diplomats by Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama has ordered the expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats including shutting down of two Russian compounds in the U.S. in a number of actions announced on Thursday as reprisal for Russia’s meddling in US election.

Obama’s speech obtained by correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in New York, stated that the actions were “in response to Russia’s malicious cyber activity and harassment.

“Today, I have ordered a number of actions in response to the Russian government’s aggressive harassment of U.S. officials and cyber operations aimed at U.S. election.

“These actions follow repeated private and public warnings that we have issued to the Russian government, and are a necessary and appropriate response to efforts to harm U.S. interests in violation of established international norms of behaviour.

“The U.S State Department is also shutting down two Russian compounds, in Maryland and New York, used by Russian personnel for intelligence-related purposes, and is declaring ‘persona non grata’ on 35 Russian intelligence operatives.

“Finally, the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are releasing declassified technical information on Russian civilian and military intelligence service cyber activity.

“This is to help network defenders in the U.S. and abroad to identify, detect, and disrupt Russia’s global campaign of malicious cyber activities.”

According to him, all Americans should be alarmed by Russia’s actions.

Obama added that “in October, my Administration publicised our assessment that Russia took actions intended to interfere with the U.S. election process.

“These data theft and disclosure activities could only have been directed by the highest levels of the Russian government.

“Moreover, our diplomats have experienced unacceptable level of harassment in Moscow by Russian security services and police over the last year. Such activities have consequences.”

He explained that he had issued an executive order that provided additional authority for responding to certain cyber activity aimed at interfering with or undermining America’s election processes and institutions, or those of its allies or partners.

“Using this new authority, I have sanctioned nine entities and individuals: the GRU and the FSB, two Russian intelligence services; four individual officers of the GRU; and three companies that provided material support to the GRU’s cyber operations.

“In addition, the Secretary of the Treasury is designating two Russian individuals for using cyber-enabled means to cause misappropriation of funds and personal identifying information.”

The U.S. president explained that “these actions are not the sum total of our response to Russia’s aggressive activities.

“We will continue to take actions at a time and place of our choosing, some of which will not be publicised.

“In addition to holding Russia accountable for what it has done, the United States and friends and allies around the world must work together to oppose Russia’s efforts to undermine established international norms of behaviour, and interfere with democratic governance.

“To that end, my Administration will be providing a report to Congress in the coming days about Russia’s efforts to interfere in our election, as well as malicious cyber activity related to our election cycle in previous elections.”

Twitter’s Troll-Fighting Quality Filter Is Coming For Everyone

After a slew of bad press about the ease with which trolls use Twitter to attack famous comedians (and slightly less bad press about the ease with which trolls use it to attack non-famous people, usually women and minorities), the social media platform announced on Thursday that it was implementing new controls that will give users the ability to filter out “non-quality” tweets from their timelines.
What this means is if a user so chooses, they can put a quality filter on what will appear in their notifications. Twitter says the filter uses “a variety of signals” to determine “lower quality” tweets from users they don’t follow—like spam and abuse.
As The Verge points out, this quality filter has been available to verified accounts for quite some time, and now it will be available to the checkmark-less plebes as well.
What it won’t do is stop the abuse from actually happening in the first place—just make it easier for the target to avoid seeing it. This gives Twitter the best of both worlds and is just about the least it could do: It doesn’t have to crack down on and risk alienating its troll user base, and the users who are frequent targets of those trolls can remain blissfully ignorant of their behavior and not be driven away. Which is ideal for Twitter, since it can’t really afford to lose anyone.

Navy Rescues Hijacked British Vessel, ‘MT VECTIS OSPREY’ Picture

The Nigerian Navy Ship NWAMBA has rescued a British registered merchant Tanker vessel with call sign MT VECTIS OSPREY from sea pirates

who attacked her 20 nautical miles offshore of Bonny. A statement from Naval headquarters signed by the Director of Information, Commodore

Christian Ezekobe said, “The rescue operation was in response to a timely alert by the International Maritime Bureau (IMB) to the Naval

Regional Maritime Awareness Centre (RMAC). “Consequently, the war ship was promptly deployed to track down and rescue the vessel. Ezekobe

said, “The British flagged MT VECTIS OSPREY departed Bonny offshore terminal and came under pirate attack on Wednesday 17 August 2016.

“NNS Nwamba engaged the attackers on approaching the vessel which made them to abandon their mission due to superior fire power. “To this

end, Naval special forces onboard the war ship embarked, and rescued the crew who locked up themselves in a citadel in the merchant tanker.

“The crew and cargo of ‘MT VECTIS OSPREY’ are safe while investigation has also commenced in order to unravel the circumstances of the

attempted hijack, especially with regard to the current trend of involvement of crew members in attacks on their own vessels”. “Additionally,

Ship owners are hereby advised to profile their crew before embarking them onboard to avoid situations in which some disgruntled crew

members stage-manage attacks on their own vessels” he said. “Consequently, the Nigerian Navy wishes to seize this opportunity to remind the

public, particularly those operating in the maritime environment that the Chief of Naval Staff Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas is poised to

eliminate all forms of criminal activities in the maritime domain, hence several initiatives have been made in this regard” Ezekobe added. “To

mention a few, the initiatives are the conduct of ‘Operation Tsare Teku’, Choke Point Regime and the deployment of capital ships for daily patrol.

“It is worthy to note also that these measures have drastically reduced incidents of sea piracy and other crimes on our territorial waters”.

Top 5 States In Nigeria With The Most Vibrant Music Industry

5. Abuja

The FCT boasts one of the most vibrant music industries in the state and is home to quite a lot of top notch concerts and shows although most of its performing artistes are from other states. It boasts of been the base of top artistes like Tekno, Zdon etc before their move

4. Plateau

Plateau is another vibrant northern state which takes a fore place when it comes to the affairs of a musical industry in Nigeria. Despite the violence in recent times prevalent in the state, it has been no excuse for avoidance of concerts, gigs and music all round in this state which boasts of talented artistes and is notable for having produced ice Prince, M.I, Jesse Jagz and still boasts of talented upcoming acts like Marcel Rhymes in recent times. J-Town is musically carried!

3. Port Harcourt

This city's music industry has contributed an influx of artistes into the Lagos scene and such artistes in this case include Timaya, Burna Boy, Mr 2kay etc. It is a city that boasts of a very electrifying nightlife and plays host to quite a number of good concerts and the music industry boasts of top talented acts like duncan Mighty, Knowledge, Bukwild, Andy Blaze, Mr Robinson etc.

2. Enugu

This eastern city has the 2nd most vibrant music industry in the country and this is evident also in the role it has played in the nurturing of top Igbo talents in the Nigerian music scene like illBliss, Phno, Flavour, Runtown etc. Currently it still plays host to top acts like Bosalin, Slow Dogg and gets a respectable amount of concerts in the country.

1. Lagos

"If you don blow here, you don blow for the whole naija"
This statement is all you have to hear to understand why Lagos is number one. The Music industry without Lagos is dead in Nigeria, it is the base of all artistes who want to be known nationwide and has bred too many top acts in the country. The biggest shows, awards and trends happen here and it is the number 1 musically vibrant state in Nigeria.

Zimbabwe seeks second American 'lion killer

 

Zimbabwe says it is seeking a second American over the illegal killing of a lion, as the outcry over the death of famed animal Cecil continues.

The National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority said the man from Pennsylvania killed a lion in April.
A Zimbabwean land owner has since been arrested, the agency said.
Cecil was shot illegally in July. Zimbabwe is seeking the extradition of the man who killed him, Walter Palmer of Minnesota.
The National Parks authority gave little information on the new case, but said on Sunday that the killing of the lion had taken place without a permit.
It said the hunt had been arranged by a Zimbabwean man who owned a safari company. The man they are seeking is from Pennsylvania.
The authority said in a statement that it had agreed to "undertake an industry-wide investigation to crack down and weed out any illegal hunting activities", but it was not clear if the latest case had emerged from that investigation

Burundi presidential aide Nshimirimana killed in attack

President Pierre Nkurunziza after voting in parliamentary elections in June 

A close aide of Burundi's President Pierre Nkurunziza has been killed in an attack on his car in the capital, Bujumbura.

Gen Adolphe Nshimirimana was a former army chief of staff and intelligence chief.
The attackers targeted his car in the Kamenge district reportedly with machine guns and rocket launchers.
Burundi has been racked by unrest since April, when Mr Nkurunziza announced he would seek a third term in office.
Opponents argued this contravened the constitution and there was a failed coup attempt in May.
A presidential election was then held last month which Mr Nkurunziza won, but which was boycotted by the opposition.
Gen Nshimirimana was reportedly in charge of the president's personal security and had been central in cracking down on protests.
Witnesses to the attack said four men in military fatigues had sprayed the car with bullets.
Other witnesses said rockets were also fired.
Presidential adviser Willy Nyamitwe told Reuters: "He has been killed by a bullet... He was in the car with some bodyguards but I don't know exactly what happened."

Conspiracy Theory Of What Could ‘happen’ To Naira/dollar In The Next Few Weeks

Just two weeks ago it looked as if the Naira was heading to N250 as calls for another round of devaluation held sway. The ban on restricting 40 items from souring forex was still generating speculation just as the CBN Governor appeared aloof.


The naira closed below N230 for the first time in about a month on Friday at the parallel market and is trading for as low as N220 in some states. Some suggest it is likely to trade below N210 as early as next week and optimist even went as far as saying it could very well be cheaper at the black market when compared to the official market.

As expected there is panic in the air and many are wondering why this is happening and what next to do.

Here is a theory of what we think could happen?

With the banks now rejecting dollar deposits panic will set in for those who still hold dollars in cold cash.

They will have no choice but to sell dollars to either people who have immediate use for it or
To those who have means other than a bank of keeping it safe.

The parallel rate of FX could even at some point drop below the interbank rate as people scramble to flee to the Naira.

For those who have dollars secured in electronic form they will probably now form their own parallel market electronically.

This people will become the new Kings on the block and will sell at any rate they like irrespective of the official rate

Some of these guys will be those who earn income in dollars or business who export goods and services in dollars whilst those who will buy remain businessmen who are still determined to import banned items.

However, for the physical black market they will continue to be supplied forex by those who still have access to cash dollars in their bank accounts. However the supply could be limited and could do either of two things

1. It could just be enough to meet the demand for those who still need to access forex in the black market. For example, people who want to pay for school fees or buy a car

2. It could spark another major premium between the official rate and the black market if demand remains very much higher than supply.

To meet up with demand some people will resort to paying for invoices denominated in dollars via their Naira debit cards. Though limited, it will just be enough to meet basic domestic items

This suits the CBN well as it still keeps demand and supply in electronic forms

Some unscrupulous people may well join the business of smuggling dollars though our borders
Once they have dollars in electronic form, they simply collect cash dollars from desperate importers or politicians or corrupt businesses and then charge them a fee.

Once out of the borders and in say Ghana, they pay it into an account and transfer it. In exchange they charge their desperate customers a fee. (thanks NRI for this theory)

This new ‘deal’ will be short lived as many people will be scammed and discouraged from continuing.
The CBN will weigh up the current situation and look at the disparity between the official rate and parallel rate. At that point they can now decide whether to devalue or allow the FX market some room to float thus relaxing some controls.

Banks will groan throughout this period and see their earnings from FX decline substantially. They will put pressure on the CBN whilst business such as Dangote Cement and manufacturers will counter with pressure of their own for a more stable Naira
President Buhari will encounter some success on his corruption drive and with the help of Western Countries repatriate some stolen FX, further boosting FX reserves.

Politicians for the time being will reduce open pilfering of funds whilst businesses will have limited way of bribing corrupt government officials with FX
Oil prices will continue to be volatile putting huge pressure and the government to guard the little FX it has left. This will perhaps discourage Emefiele to relax some of the more “successful controls”.

Boko Haram Leader And Head Of Recruitment In Chad And Cameroun Arrested

Bana Fanaye also known as Mahamat Moustapha, said to be the mastermind of Boko Haram operations in Chad and northern Cameroon, has been arrested by authorities in Chad. Assorted weapons, as well as cell phone SIM cards for various countries, including Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger were recovered from his residence.


Bana Fanaye also known as Mahamat Moustapha, Boko Haram recruiter.
Bana Fanaye is said to be the brain behind most Boko Harma operations including arms purchases in Chad and northern Cameroon. He was arrested on Friday afternoon.

Media reports quoted Chadian officials as saying that Fanaye is in charge of recruiting Boko Haram terrorists, arms purchases and planning of terrorism targets and operations in Chad and northern Cameroon.

Weapons of different kinds and assorted communication gadgets were found in his house, including more than 50 SIM cards from different countries in the sub region,  tchadinfos.com reported.

It was his arrest that helped security forces locate other Boko Haram members housed in an area called Diguel Diguessou in the 8th district, the report said. Many of them were killed.

In a related development, Reuters news agency is reporting that Cameroon officials have arrested three suspects carrying a bag containing improvised explosive devices in the northern town of Maroua where a spate of suspected Boko Haram suicide attacks killed at least 40 last week.

The men were caught on Thursday evening at the entrance of the city following a tip-off, a senior military source with the Central African nation’s special forces in Maroua, told Reuters.



“The suspect who was carrying the bag with the explosives is a Nigerian. The other two are Cameroonians, according to their identity cards,” another senior local government administrator said by telephone from Maroua.

He said the young men, aged about 20, were suspected Boko Haram militants who were planning another attack.

Cameroon has increased troops and tighten security in the northern regional capital following the suicide bombings, the deepest incursion by suspected Boko Haram militants from neighboring Nigeria.

Cameroon security officials also carried out a raid on Thursday in Kousseri, some 220 km (140 miles) north of Maroua, where some 2,000 Nigerians who were living in Cameroon without permits were loaded in trucks and taken across the border.

A local administrator said the raid was part of measures aimed at improving security and controlling movements along the border region.

The leaders of both countries pledged on Thursday, following a summit in Yaounde, to work together to crush the six-year insurgency which has killed thousands, spread to neighboring countries and threatens the stability of the Lake Chad region.

Boko Haram, which calls itself the Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP) since pledging allegiance to the militant group that controls large areas of Syria and Iraq, is fighting to establish an emirate in northeast Nigeria.

Additional reports from Reuters.

Then I asked her this question = CAN I ASK YOU OUT? And she said NO. Is anything wrong with the question?

Four Abia Governorship Gandidates Join PDP, Declare Support For Ikpeazu

Four governorship candidates in Abia State yesterday defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and declared support for the party’s governorship candidate, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu. The four governorship candidates include, Mrs Ifeoma Okpara, Citizens Popular Party,(CPP) Prince Sunday Isaac, People for Democratic Change, (PDC), Barrister Dan Onyeonagu, KOWA Party, and Independent Democrat (ID), Gilbert Chikezie. According to them, their decision to adopt Dr. Ikpeazu as their choice in the April 11 governorship poll was borne out of the interest of the state. “Having considered the political situation in the state, we thought it wise to step down as governorship candidates and adopt the PDP flagbearer, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu as our candidate,” Onyeonagu of KOWA said. “This collective decision is to ensure Abia remains in safe hands. We do not want our dear state to fall into the hands of those who do not mean well for the state; those who think that Abia is for sale,”. The decisions of the four governorship candidates, according to Onyeonagu, were based on the fact that the positive transformation of the state shall be sustained. “We believe that Aba, as the commercial hub of our state, shall be fully developed to serve as a spring board to all parts of the state and that women, youths and people with disabilities will enjoy democracy dividends under Ikpeazu. “We believe that under him, Abia shall be economically empowered, greater efforts would be invested in agriculture, more rural areas shall be linked to major cities, more jobs for Abians, more investment in security of lives and property and may more.” Earlier, in his remarks, the National Chairman and Presidential Candidate of Citizens Popular Party, who stood in for the State governorship candidate, Chief Sam Eke said “The way things are going in Abia State can only get better. We must not allow the ongoing delevelopment nose dive hence our conclusion to throw our weigh behind Abia PDP candidate, Dr. Ikpeazu.” Responding on behalf of the Abia State PDP Campaign Organization, Mr. Longman Nwachukwu, thanked the four governorship candidates for embracing the PDP. He assured them that they will be fully accomodated in the PDP.

Boko Haram Fighters Disguise As Preachers, Kill 24

Suspected members of the Boko Haram sect have attacked Kwajafa village in Borno State killing 24 persons and injuring over a dozen others, a security source has revealed. They also set the village mosque on fire. The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the insurgents stormed the village on Sunday evening. He said, “The insurgents who rode to the town in Volkswagen Golf cars on Sunday evening, told the villagers that they were there to preach. They however opened fire on the people as soon as they gathered an appreciable number of the villagers in the village square.” He lamented that some of the residents who were in a mosque at the time of the attack were not spared as the insurgents set them ablaze. He said mostly killed were those who could not immediately decipher that the disguised preachers were Boko Haram members on a deadly mission. A nurse at the General Hospital, Biu, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said some injured persons were brought to the hospital from Kwajafa, some 35 kilometres away for treatment. The medical worker added that some of the injured persons were treated in other health facilities in Kwajafa. It will be recalled that Kwajafa, which is about 220 kilometres from Maiduguri, has witnessed two major Boko Haram attacks in the past. Investigations revealed that past attacks forced people to flee the village but some of them returned after peace returned to the community. Meanwhile, the Borno State Accountant-General, Hajiya Mairo Bunu, on Monday appealed to donor agencies to mobilise support for the rehabilitation of victims of Boko Haram insurgency in the state. Bunu made the appeal when she presented some relief materials to Governor Kashim Shettima for the victims. She said the Boko Haram insurgency had resulted in mass destruction of infrastructure which might be difficult to rebuild without the support of the international community.

Buhari’s name will not help you – Akala tells Ajimobi

 
A former governor of Oyo State, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala, on Monday warned Governor Abiola Ajimobi that the name of the President – elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), will not help him in his reelection bid.
Alao-Akala is the candidate of the Labour Party in Saturday’s governorship election.
Akala, in a statement by the Director of Public Affairs, Alao-Akala Campaign Organisation, Oludare Ogunlana, said no amount of political gimmicks would save Ajimobi from losing on April 11, adding that Buhari and Ajimobi were two separate entities that could not work together.
Alao-Akala said, “Using Buhari’s name rather than his (Ajimobi) achievements is the greatest undoing a sinking governor can do to win at all cost. Buhari did not award contract at questionable amount or neglect meritocracy for mediocrity.
“The APC administration is anti-masses as it has inflicted pains on the people as against its campaign promises in 2011.
“Ajimobi is the most corrupt governor in the history of the state while Buhari is the only former head of state without a house in Abuja and the only former leader without an oil bloc. How then does Ajimobi think using Buhari’s name to campaign will guarantee him victory?”
According to Alao-Akala, the APC was planning to help Ajimobi by bringing Buhari to the state to campaign on his behalf with the hope that he would use his acceptance to win votes for the governor.

Lagos 2015: Ambode will win resoundingly – Senator ‘Gbenga Ashafa

 
The lawmaker representing Lagos East Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator ‘Gbenga Ashafa has emphatically declared that the APC governorship candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode, will poll the highest number of votes with a wide margin.
The lawmaker said the margin would not be comparable with what transpired between the APC and the PDP during the March 28 presidential elections.
Ashafa, who is also the senator-elect for the district, following a successful re-election for a second term on March 28, further expressed his confidence on the chances of the APC.
He added that the party’s political machinery on ground in Lagos State was fit enough to return the party to the Alausa seat of power come April 11, 2015.
Ashafa, who dwelt on certain core specifics on why the APC deserved to win the guber elections, noted that Lagos and its cosmopolitan outlook had always provided other states with a template to replicate developmental strides.
Of particular mention were transportation, sound governance policies, infrastructure, healthcare, effective environmental management and civil service efficiency.
He commended the administration of Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) for running full course and surpassing the achievements of his predecessor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has dismissed the purported impeachment notice issued to him by the All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers in the State House of Assembly, saying he was yet to be served any impeachment notice.
Fayose, while speaking at an audience participatory programme; “Meet Your Governor” aired on the State Television, EKTV, Ekiti Radio,
Progress FM and NTA, Ado Ekiti today, described those plotting his impeachment as the same enemies of Ekiti State that plotted his exit from office in 2006.
“Nobody served me any impeachment notice. I only saw the notice online like every other person”, he said.
The governor, who described himself as an Israelite said: “I’m like Israel that is in the midst of enemies but will always prevail. Whoever wants to remove me will first have to impeach God.”
He said the APC members were trying to get at him because he wholeheartedly supported President Goodluck Jonathan’s reelection bid.
“They are doing all these just to get at me because of my support for President Jonathan and I have no regret for supporting the president.
“Let me say it again, I have not been served any impeachment notice. The House of Assembly is also on recess and Dr Adewale Omirin is not the speaker of the State House of Assembly.
