OCTOBER 1 BRUTALITY!!! POLICE ATTACKED A PHOTO JOURNALIST IN LAGOS

 Some officers of the Lagos State Police Command on Thursday attacked a photojournalist with The PUNCH, Olukayode Jaiyeola.

Jaiyeola, who was part of journalists covering an October 1 protest in the state, was brutalised at the Maryland area of Lagos.

The incident happened around 12 noon when a policeman, Innocent Adadu, hit Jaiyeola’s head with a baton. Jaiyeola’s colleague and PUNCH reporter, Deji Lambo, who was at the scene, said Adadu hit Jaiyeola with such force that the photojournalist collapsed immediately, with blood gushing out of his injured skull.

Nawa ooo

He said Adadu tried to flee into a police vehicle after attacking Jaiyeola but “I grabbed his shirt, insisting that he had injured a journalist.”

Lambo said, “Adadu’s colleagues also tried to shield their own and whisked him into a police vehicle. They also pushed Jaiye into the same vehicle.”

He said Jaiyeola was taken to the Police Clinic in Ikeja, the state capital, where his injured head was stitched.
Jaiyeola’s camera was also seized by police officers during the encounter.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that hundreds of protesters stormed the streets of Lagos on Thursday to express their displeasure over bad governance in Nigeria.

The protesters, mostly youths, lamented that 60 years after the country gained independence from Britain and over 20 years of uninterrupted democratic rule, Nigeria’s socio-economic development has been mired by bad leadership which has denied the masses from enjoying the gains of a sovereign state.

The demonstration, which started around 9.30 am, saw the protesters gathering around Ojota, from where they marched to the Maryland area of the state.

The protesters, who are members of the Coalition for Revolution codenamed #RevolutionNow, were seen chanting songs of solidarity.

They later dispersed when security operatives arrested over 30 of them

ZOOM CONQUERED VIDEO CONFERENCING

It is not out of place to ask “how did Zoom conquer video conferencing”?Zoom grew so quickly in 2020 that its brand became the default term for video conferencing. “Let’s use Zoom,” has become as as, “ Google it.” What in the world is responsible for that explosive growth in the face of competition from (other) brands like Cisco, Microsoft and Google?

COULD IT BE COVID19 PANDEMIC?

The Covid-19 crisis caused an enormous surge in demand for video communications with so many people unable to meet in person, but that alone doesn’t explain Zoom’s ascendance. They were growing rapidly long before Covid-19 shut down offices, events, and travel. Zoom had already surpassed its larger competitors in the years preceding the pandemic:

According to the 2020 Businesses @ Work report from Okta “Zoom was the #1 fastest growing video conferencing app in 2016, and it hasn’t slowed down since. Over the past three years, Zoom has enjoyed an astounding 876% growth in number of customers in our network. For comparison, second-place Cisco Webex grew 91% over that same period.”

As with Amazon, the pandemic crisis simply accelerated Zoom’s already robust growth.

COULD IT BE ZOOM’S “Frictionless” MISSION?

Zoom’s mission statement us simple and straight forward “Make video communications frictionless.” At a time when most corporate mission statements try to acknowledge every priority and every stakeholder, this short, direct message stands out.

It is obvious that this statement provides clarity to every team member. If you are a developer, network expert, or any other Zoom employee, you know that any action you take should never increase customer effort or increase complexity. If you do, you’ll be contradicting Zoom’s reason for existence. In short, the simpler, the easier, the better.

Zoom was founded by Eric Yuan, who left Cisco’s Webex unit to focus on mobile-friendly video conferencing. Webex was the dominant video conference player before Zoom passed them.

The Cisco’s mission statement on their website which is “Shape the future of the Internet by creating unprecedented value and opportunity for our customers, employees, investors, and ecosystem partners.” This statement is so broad and jargon-laden that it provides no clear direction for team members. How could a developer or designer possibly know if a new feature or a interface design will “create unprecedented value and opportunity?” Will fixing something that customers complained about really “shape the future?” The mission statement, if I am permitted to say, is itself high friction.

Zoom grew more rapidly than its much larger competitors because it made things easy for its users. Easy to set up, easy to use, easy to change one’s background… maximum simplicity, minimum effort. But, in striving to make onboarding a user as simple as possible, Zoom skipped some security precautions.

One of these lapses made Mac computer webcams vulnerable to hackers. Another security hole allowed “zoombombing,” in which a hacker could enter and disrupt an ongoing video conference.

Not unlike fellow unicorn Uber, Zoom initially focused on exponential growth, not perfection. After its software was universally adopted, Zoom changed its code to beef up security.

Although security issues could have derailed the firm, Zoom’s growth continued without interruption.

The Zoom lesson

Taking on giants like Cisco, Microsoft, and Google might have seemed like a fool’s errand in Zoom’s early days. But, Yuan let one principle drive the firm’s efforts: make video conferencing as easy as possible for everyone. Minimize user effort. Eliminate complexity.

Independence day as Nigeria clocks 60!

We are Nigerians, our forefathers suffered greatly under the authority of the colonial masters. They fought for our independence and got it by sacrificing their existence…alas, Nigeria got her independence on October 1, 1960. There is one unique thing about Nigeria, which is our diversity in ethnicity. As a result of the large number of ethnic groups in Nigeria, there tends to be an upheave of political crisis across the regions of this country. However, we have got to a stage where candidates are elected into power without anarchy. I am optimistic that the future doesn’t bring more chaos than previous years.

Below is the list of leaders who ruled Nigeria since independence.

 As Nigeria clocks 60 years of independence, we still have lots of setbacks and a major one, “insecurity”. When exactly do we enjoy steady peace in northern Nigeria and other parts of this country? We need a reliable structure, a system which will enable Nigerians to thrive . We cannot always take our ideas abroad and suffer for succeeding…recall the xenophobia attack on Nigerians in South Africa sometime ago. Nigeria has to be a better place for all and sundry.

Nigeria is a nation with potentials , both in resources and mental manpower. We are talented, strong, hardworking and tirelessly persevering. Nigeria is a blessed nation and I remember what a white man once said, “I see gold on the streets of Nigeria, I see it everywhere”. Apparently, we need nothing to prove how blessed this nation is.

To keep a country of over 500 indigenous languages and tribes is quite a task. However, Nigeria is still standing with her flag of green and white colours depicting natural wealth and peace respectively.

Nigeria has its ups and downs from the political sector, the agricultural sector,  the educational sector and others. Nigeria is 60years today , let us pray our nation’s vulnerabilities such as; devaluation of naira, corruption, insecurity to mention a few and overall, the unstable system takes a U-turn for the best. God bless Nigeria. Happy 60th anniversary Nigeria!

We killed 50 kidnap victims because we couldn’t get ransoms –Suspect

A kidnap kingpin, Mohammed Sani, has narrated how his gang murdered over 50 of their victims whose families could not pay ransom.

Sani, who was paraded on Tuesday by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Frank Mba, alongside his gang members and 46 other suspected criminals at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad headquarters in Abuja, said he carried out his operations mainly in Kaduna, Katsina, Niger and Zamfara states.

Wearing a military camouflage, the 30-year-old said he worked for one Yellow Jambros, who gave him guns and military uniform for the kidnap operations.

He said he was a sector commander in the kidnapping ring and had over 120 men under his command.

Sani, who said he had lost count of how many kidnap operations he had carried out, said any of their victims on whom ransom was collected, was allowed to go, but those whose families could not cough out money were killed.

“I have lost count of the number of operations I have participated in, but we usually release those on whose heads we collect ransoms, while anyone, who could not pay or his relatives could not pay, was killed. We have killed over 50 persons who did not pay ransom.”

Mba disclosed that the suspect and his gang members were nabbed by the men of the Special Tactical Squad, adding that he had been on the police wanted list for a while.

He stated, “Sani’s area of speciality is kidnapping for ransom and banditry; occasionally, he veers into cattle rustling. He belongs to an organised kidnapping gang that has gone ahead to sectorise its operations.

“Mohammed Sani is a sector commander within the larger kidnapping and banditry enterprise. He has over 100 men directly under his command. Sani reports to another big kidnapper, who is on our wanted list and known as Yellow Jambros.”

The force also paraded seven male suspects, including two soldiers, linked with the deadly attack on a bullion van in Abakiliki, Ebonyi State, on July 29, 2020.

He said the men carried out elaborate surveillance on the movement of the bullion van for over two weeks before they struck, during which four policemen were killed and their rifles taken away.

Nigeria: Govt Clears Emirates to Resume Flight Operations in Nigeria

Following an agreement between the United Arabs Emirates (UAE), and the Nigerian government, the Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, has announced plan to lift the ban placed on Emirates Airlines from operating into and out of the country.

According to Sirika, the commencement of the airline’s operations would, however, depend on the commencement of visa issuance to Nigerians by the UAE.

“UAE has written to state that they agree to issue visas to Nigerians, consequently decision has been reached to allow Emirates to fly into Nigeria. Commencement of the Visa issuance is condition precedent. Please bear with this unusual situation,” Sirika said.

The minister said he appreciated the understanding of all those who have been negatively affected by the recent policy decisions, which barred some airlines from operating into the country when Nigeria reopened its airspace to international flights.

The Director, Public Affairs, Ministry of Aviation, Mr. James Odaudu, explained in a statement issued yesterday that the decisions were taken to protect the interests of the nation and its citizens who deserve to be treated with respect and dignity – the same way Nigeria treats other nationals.

Emirates Airlines was initially given approval to operate into the country, but the approval was withdrawn following the inability of Nigerians to obtain/use valid tourist visas to enter the UAE.

Meanwhile, South Africa has also lifted ban on air travel from travellers from African countries.

President of South Africa, Mr. Cyril Ramaphosa said the ban was lifted to facilitate free movements of people, goods and services from South Africa and the African continent, noting that travellers from the neighbouring countries are allowed to visit the country.

“Travellers from all African countries are allowed and must possess relevant travel documents, and will also be screened for COVID-19 symptoms.

“To allow ease of travel from the African countries, 18 borders will be opened. 35 border posts will continue to offer restricted services due to insufficient capacity for screening, testing and quarantine. Travellers who present themselves at borders, which are unable to accommodate them will be directed to the currently operational border posts for processing,” the President said in an address.

The President said three airports would be opened and operational for international air travel.

These airports are OR Tambo International (in Johannesburg, Gauteng), Cape Town International (in Cape Town, Western Cape) and King Shaka International in (Durban, KwaZulu-Natal).

My skin type; your skin type

Among other things, knowing your skin type is the first step to caring for your skin. We have probably all heard the buzz about the different skin types( oily, dry, combination, normal, and sensitive skin). So the million dollar question is which is yours?
Skin type tends to change as we grow older. Younger people are more prone to having normal skin type.
Knowing your skin type helps to allow you customize a skin care routine that works for you giving you the clear glowing skin that you desire.


The first step in determining your skin type is to :

  1. Cleanse your skin with a gentle face cleanser/ face wash.
  2. Do not apply any products to your freshly washed skin rather let it sit for about an hour before examining it
    After that the following will explain your skin type to you

A. Dry skin
Your skin has almost invisible pores it feels tight, dull, rough complexion, parched with red patches and more visible lines.

B. Oily skin
Your skin is shiny on your cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin. There are blackheads, large and visible pores.

C. Combination skin
Your skin is shiny on your nose chin forehead and dry in other areas. Your pores look larger than normal.

D. Normal skin
Your skin appears normal no shine, no flake, and no patches. The texture is regular, there are no signs of imperfections.

E. Sensitive skin
Sensitive skin in itself is not a skin type. Rather you can have oily/dry sensitive skin. Your skin easily breaks out, reacts to products, weather, water or new environment. Sometimes gets itchy, dry, red, or you develop unexplainable rashes.

No matter your skin these basic tips will help keep your skin sane until you know your skin type and can develop a routine for it.

  1. Use sunblock that protects you from both ultra violet A (UVA) and ultra violet B (UVB) rays.
  2. Do not smoke.
  3. Wash your skin gently everyday morning and night.
  4. Never sleep with make up.
  5. Avoid direct sunlight.
  6. Drink water and mind your business.
