Mahmood Yakubu, Chairman of the National Electoral Commission…not INEC, but NEC as there is no such a thing in Nigeria as Independent National Electoral Commission!
THE GREAT SUMMONS (vigilance-securitymagazine.com)
As our compatriots back home go to the poll tomorrow to vote; on behalf of other Nigerians diaspora worldwide, this writer ‘d like to ask firstly, INEC, and secondarily, fellow Nigerians back home, this his only one question: Where will the Diaspora Nigerians vote tomorrow?
Since 2004, I have continued to draw the attention of the nation and successive governments to this obvious lapse in our national political life, going further to propose the enactment of a relevant Act to put appropriate machinery in place for the Diaspora Nigerians too to exercise their voting right, just as their compatriots at home because we too are Nigerians. But all these calls have been to no avail!
Truth is that all elections in Nigeria since the 1960s have remained incomplete and inconclusive without the votes of all the generations of Nigerians who have been living abroad.
A cattle egret and not a cow.
As all Nigeria, especially our compatriots back home, since those of us in the Diaspora have continued to be disenfranchised or treated as if we do not matter in the political scheme of things for our sin of living abroad, will be going to the poll to cast their ballot on Saturday, the 25th of February, God willing, we all need to pray upon our nation, our own national “effectual fervent prayer” – NEFP (James 5:16). But what elections?
Ordinarily, it would have been a thing of great joy, but in our own case, every election period raises our national thermometer, consequently, our national blood pressure to the point of suspending our national breath, particularly this very one wey they done emilonkanised/weaponised; and more than anything of national concern, has more than all the elections since our flag indy been thoroughly Fulanised/Fulbenised/Peulised.
And for the doubting Thomas’s, the carefully plotted and Buharised structures or should I say, the over-Fulanised structures and the plots already afoot by the ‘owners’ of Nigeria, rather, the country’s ‘landlords’ (Kabalu - cabal) are evidential.
“…like over the dark cloud,
the sun will shine over
Turkey and Syria again.”
O Turkey,
O Syria,
Have you both been brought so low,
Reduced to a mere rubble,
And humbled in just a matter of moment?

One of the major social, cultural, and religious phenomena of modern and contemporary times is the overwhelming antipathy numerous Islamists feel towards non-Muslims, including Christians and Jews. In spite of the fact that, like Islam, religions such as Christianity and Judaism are Abrahamic religions and share much with Islam, they are nevertheless to this day considered by many Islamists to be kuffar, or infidels. Although Islam regards both Jews and Christians as ahlu al-kitab, or People of the Book, numerous Islamists still dismiss them as impure, i.e., corrupted by ungodly influences. Islamists, as well as many non-Islamist Muslims, generally claim that both Christians and Jews are not true believers because they have strayed from al-siratu almustaqeem, or the Straight Path (of righteousness). There are different reasons for this belief.
From 17 January 2023, WWF and the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) are inviting the public to become ‘walrus detectives’ and get involved in their Walrus from Space project to help with vital research to enable a better understanding of these Arctic marine mammals.
Walrus are facing the consequences of the climate crisis and we need to know more about how they are affected. ‘Walrus Detectives’ help contribute to conservation science by searching for walrus in thousands of satellite images collected by space technology and intelligence company Maxar Technologies. The images found to contain walrus from the first year have been reloaded into the citizen science platform and the ‘detectives’ are now invited to count the walrus in those images to contribute to population data.
Today at the World Economic Forum meeting at Davos, WWF is launching a new tool to help companies and investors better understand their impacts and dependencies on nature.
WWF’s Biodiversity Risk Filter is a free to use, web-based tool that helps businesses identify and reduce biodiversity-related risks across their own operations, their value chains and investments.
Using 50 data sets from NASA, IUCN, the World Bank and many other sources, it breaks down complex biodiversity information to give decision makers practical information to assess biodiversity-related risks across all industries and in all countries.

The government announced this week that new legislation will be published in spring 2023 to improve security at venues in the aftermath of the Manchester Arena bombing (Government Press Release on 19th December 2022).
Security consultancy Lodge Service is advising the operators of public venues and spaces on the implications of the proposed anti-terrorism legislation. Known as Martyn’s Law or the Protect Duty, it will mandate tougher security measures to protect against terrorist attacks.
Every country has different concerns when it comes to cybersecurity - new data reveals which cyber attacks each country is most worried about and what prevention methods are needed.
The tech industry is undergoing a period of disruption - with mass layoffs and leadership changes impacting online security. IS Decisions, a global software company specializing in security, has released research showing what cybersecurity issues are causing the most concern worldwide by analyzing Google data.
Research by GlobalData also reports that Brits have spent £8.7 billion in Black Friday sales, with tech gadgets being one of the most popular buys.
However, according to One Sure Insurance, gadget theft is rising, with a laptop stolen every 53 seconds in the UK. With that being said, the team has used search data to reveal the gadgets that are least likely to be insured this Christmas by comparing Google search insurance figures for November.

A woman partially uncovers her hair. Members of a vice squad (called Guidance Patrol) arrest her. They insult her. She fires back, refusing to be disrespected. They beat her badly. She falls unconscious. She later dies. What was her crime? Uncovering some of her hair. Really? Whose human rights does that violate? Insofar as the actions of Iran’s Islamic Republic are concerned, political persecution is not a crime. The perversion of the rule of law is not a crime. Widespread corruption is not a crime. Favouritism, cronyism, and nepotism are not a crime. The violation of human rights is not a crime. The partial exposure of a woman’s hair…… Now, that is what the Ayatollahs call a crime.
“If in 2003, recent history regarding their sordid experiences, shame, embarrassment, and acute agony in Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Muhammadu Buhari do not serve as great lessons to them such that they keep away from that exalted and hallowed ground of service, kleptocrats, sickly and demented men and women without a sound mind in a sound body, all the world will remember Nigeria and the Nigerian people perpetually as a nation of unserious and foolish people who delight in living in pains, suffering and smiling.”

Momma got me a bar of Liz Fizzy ice cream
And told me to read the direction for use
Before starting to leak it,
Warning me to open the wrap slowly and with care,
Not “too fast, too “far”,
Nor in a hurry as a Noah running to enter the Ark.

Elizabeth Alexander Mary Windsor, Her Majesty The Queen
Queen Elizabeth, mother of many nations
And once Queen of the world during the British empire.
As your birth into nobility was predestined,
So was your noble role in world affairs.
Ever since your coronation in 1953, Elizabeth,
You have in quiet dignity bestridden
World affairs like a colossus
With world leaders quaking
Before your awesome presence.
Though the British empire be dead and buried,
The world still stands in awe of your power and majesty.
