#MoniMata: CBN will change Polymer Naira Notes to Paper

The Deputy Governor,  CBN, Mr. Tunde Lemo said, 

“By the middle of the year, we will start to produce the second generation of lower denomination notes, now in paper and not in polymer.”

“My plea is that Nigerians should exercise patience; it wasn’t the fault of the CBN; it was just because we had to go back to the drawing board to rethink the ‘Project Cure’ in the light of the wish of the public that we should not go ahead with the N5,000 notes and lower denominations.

“We will correct that in the course of the year. Polymer certainly will be phased out. In fact, we are phasing out polymer.  No new note is being printed in polymer now.”

-The Central Bank of Nigeria has stopped the printing of small denomination naira notes in polymer because they fade quickly.

-He said the bank would begin to receive the fresh notes from June.

Culled from Punch Newpaper...

HBC: Okey...Hmmm, Lets wait and See.

#StrongTin: Man jailed 45 years for stealing Governor’s phone

Kelvin Ighodalo being escorted by a cop.

A 31-year-old man, Kelvin Ighodalo, has been sentenced to 45-year imprisonment by an Osogbo High Court for stealing a N50,000 Sony Ericsson phone belonging to Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State.

It was alleged that the accused Ighodalo, stole the phone from the Governor's pocket on November 27, 2010, when the governor was being inaugurated at Government Technical College, Osogbo.

He was also accused of using the phone to obtain N500, 000 from the Owa of Ilesa, Oba Adekunle Aromolaran, while he obtained N200, 000 from Mr Shengen Rahman, an associate of the governor.

Justice Oyejide Falola, who presided over the case, found Ighodalo guilty on six counts, which included Conspiracy, Stealing, Fraud, Impersonation, Obtaining property by falsehood and Collusion.

The accused was sentenced to 10-year imprisonment for each of the first three counts and five years for each of the last three, respectively.

Mr Biodun Badiora, the assistant principal state counsel told the court that the convict had served six-year imprisonment in Ikoyi prison custody in connection with a murder case in 2005.

HBC: I dey pity the guy before until I reach the end of the story! The guy is already used to prison sef...May God help us.

In 9ja: Senate proposes six-year single term for President, govs

David-Mark (L) & The Nigerian Senate (R)

On three-day working retreat which held in Lagos on Sunday, the Senate Committee on the Review of the Constitution has recommended a non-renewable single six year tenure for the office of President, Vice-President, governors and their deputies. This is an arrangement that may put a stop to President Goodluck Jonathan's ambitions of 2015 because the Senate panel’s recommendation disqualifies Jonathan and  incumbent  governors from benefiting from the new arrangement if the recommendation becomes law.

HBC: Hope this is not another Grand plan to mess Nigeria up the more. I dey fear OooO!

Karl Joseph Kraus is the 93-year-old German-born Australian man who was accused of raping four sisters (aged between 7 and 15) in 2010 while living in South-East Asia, appeared in court, in Thailand, on Monday.

Kraus, who now finds it difficult to walk on his own was carried from a prison bus into a wheelchair by other inmates, in order to be wheeled into the dock in Chiang Mai province, in the north of the country.
He told reporters last month that, “I’ll be dead before proceedings conclude, I’ve done nothing wrong.”
Report said his lawyers were now trying to get the rape case dropped, arguing that he was too ill to stand trial.
Thai police claimed that Kraus offered to teach the children English, and persuaded them to visit his house by offering them chocolate and money.
But the girls then told their parents, who, in turn, reported Kraus to the police.
Officials allegedly found more than 100 child pornography images on his computer, many of which had been emailed to addresses based outside Thailand.

HBC: In 2010, this man was 90 years old, my people, is this scientifically possible? Old man like this fit get Conji? Na wa OoOOOo!

Celine Dion reveals son’s love for her shoe collection and he walks better in heels than her...

Celine with her son (L) & Young Nelson rocking his mama's High heel.

One of Celine Dion‘s sons, Nelson who is a two-and-half years old loves and rocks his mom's heels better than his mum.  

The singer told Katie Couric this week: He’s wearing heels already.

In an interview for “Katie,” Celine said:

“One of my sons, Nelson, is two-and-a-half, and he walks better in heels than me! I don’t know how he does it, but I’m not the only one in the family who loves shoes.”

Hey, Nelson learns from the best. Celine, if you didn’t know, has over 3,000 pairs of shoes (although when Katie asked Celine about the exact number, the singer quipped “I stopped counting, because I’m not good with math.”) Dion told Couric that she’s so crazy about great shoes, she’ll get them in any size:

“I go to the store, and I’m like, ‘I really like those ones,’ and they’re like, ‘What size?’ And I’m like, ‘Oh no, you don’t understand. I want them, so what size doyou have? I’ll make it work, baby. I’ll make it work!’ From 5 to 10, it works!”

In 9ja: Over 1.2 million UTME candidates won’t gain admission this year - FG

Ruqayyat Rufa'i, Nigeria's Education minister

Minister of Education, Prof. Ruqayyatu Rufai, on Saturday, addressed journalists at the Federal Government College, Suleja, Niger State, after monitoring the examination. In her address, she lamented that The major challenge is a country like Nigeria having 1,735,720 students sitting for examination and the space available is 520,000 for federal, states, private universities, polytechnics and colleges of education.

She added that:

“If one million passed, what are we going to do with the rest 500,000? We will not expand the carrying capacity without expanding the facilities.

“What are we going to do with the large number of  students out there? I feel the pain. Mr. President is very much concerned. If you have students that have passed examination and they cannot have access, you can imagine their thought in the long run.”

Prof. Ruqayyatu called on private firms and individuals to invest in tertiary education.

HBC: This means that Over a million youths will remain at home and by next year, if changes are not made, this number of candidates that will seek for admission next year will almost triple (i.e the 1m that didn't get admission this year plus fresh secondary school graduates = almost 3m)

#WonderTinz: Lady beats Up a Dubai bus driver who attempted to rape her at knife-point.

A Bus in Dubai.

The bus driver known as K S, 21, from Pakistan, who appeared in court yesterday was charged with attempted rape, threatening to kill, assault and consuming alcohol illegally. He allegedly tried to rape a passenger at knifepoint.

The woman, an off-duty US navy sailor, knocked the knife from his grasp, broke it in two, bit his hand, wrestled him to the ground and put him in a stranglehold between her thighs.

Having beaten him into submission, she left the bus and reported the incident to her commander.

The incident happened January 19 this year.

The Lady explained to the court that she climbed aboard and sat in the back seat, but became suspicious of the route the driver was taking.

“I noticed he did not take the main road and when I asked him he told me not to worry,” she said.

About 10 minutes later, the driver pulled up in an area where a number of other buses had parked, sat next to her and tried to kiss her, prosecutors say.

When she pushed him away he pulled a knife and told her he was going to rape her, and that she must do as he said. Police arrested the driver the next day at his home.

“He was drunk at the time of arrest,” said the attending officer.

He confessed only to the alcohol charge and said he was too drunk on the night to remember what else happened.

Tests found traces of the sailor’s blood and hair on the bus.

The case was adjourned to May 1.

HBC: Nice One! Way to go Sailor...Kick his Butt again...lolzzz...This is why I strongly recommend that all "mentally stable" women should know Taekwondo or Karate or akido or Judo...I always say...Its better to have it and not need it than need it and don't have it! Imagine, it would have been a different story entirely if she didn't know how to defend herself...He may succeed in raping her or even worst, murdering her. So my dear damsels of Hakika Blog, Go and start learning to Kick A**...

Huh!?! Chile Cult Burns 3-day old Baby Alive. Mom amoung those arrested.

Ramon Gustavo Castillo (L) & Forensic detective at the scene if the crime (R).

Four alleged cult members were arrested by Chilean police   for allegedly burning a baby alive in a ritual.

Ramon Gustavo Castillo Gaete, 36, is the leader of a 12-member sect (formed in 2005) that is accused of burning a baby alive. Gustavo believed that the end of the world was near and that the three-day-old child was the antichrist.

The sect members took the baby with the consent of her mom, to a hill in the town of Colliguay near the port of Valparaiso on November 21, 2012, and was thrown into a bonfire.

The mother of the baby, 25-year-old Natalia Guerra was among those arrested.

 Miguel Ampuero, of the Police Investigative Unit said

"The baby was naked. They strapped tape around her mouth to keep her from screaming, then they placed her on a board. After calling on the spirits they threw her on the bonfire alive".

"Everyone in this sect was a professional. We have someone who was a veterinarian and who worked as a flight attendant, we have a film maker, a draftsman. Everyone has a university degree."

Ramon Gustavo Castillo Gaete, remains at large.

Police said Castillo Gaete, the ringleader, was last seen travelling to Peru to buy ayahuasca, a hallucinogenic plant that he used to control the members of the cult.

In 9ja: PDP leadership- proud of Jonathan’s achievements...

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).s leadership on Wednesday, expressed surprise at the un-acknowledged level of achievements of the President GEJ led administration.

In a statement signed by PDP national publicity secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, on Wednesday, in Abuja, observed that the administration had achieved a lot in all the critical sectors of the economy, going by the scorecards so far presented to it by ministers in the ongoing ministerial briefings.

It said the outcome of the briefings showed that the government had “actually achieved far more than have been widely acknowledged.”

The statement noted  that the leadership of the party and, indeed, Nigerians were happy with the administration.

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the party is, indeed, very surprised at the extent of achievements recorded so far by the President Goodluck Jonathan-led PDP administration.

“The PDP, therefore, urged President Jonathan to discountenance ill-founded criticisms by the opposition which were meant to distract government from delivering on its mandate.”

In 9ja: GEJ awards $40million contract to Israeli company to monitor Internet communication by Nigerians.

Source Premium Times.

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan

Here is a very important information from PREMIUM TIMES for the 47 million Nigerian Internet users. Big Brother, in the form of the Jonathan administration, is watching you, and your communication is no longer safe.

It is one of the most far-reaching policies ever designed in Nigeria’s history to invade the privacy of citizens.

The Jonathan administration secretly, and in open violation of lawful contracting procedures, has awarded an Israeli firm, Elbit Systems, with headquarters in Haifa, a $40million contract to help it spy on citizens’ computers and Internet communications under the guise of intelligence gathering and national security.

Elbit announced the contract award Wednesday in a global press release but was silent on the Nigerian destination of the contract. Its general manager, Yehuda Vered, opaquely announced that “Elbit Systems will supply its Wise Intelligence Technology (WiT) system to an unnamed country in Africa under a new $40 million contract announced on 24 April… for Intelligence Analysis and Cyber Defense,” but effusively claimed, in the statement, that his company is “proud to be selected to supply this unique system, which is already field-proven, fully operational and customisable.
