Disruption of Fraud

Image
WASHINGTON – The Department of Justice, FBI, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and other federal law enforcement agencies announced today the completion of a three-month campaign that disrupted networks used by foreign fraudsters to obtain fraud proceeds. Multiple law enforcement actions addressed conduct by individuals sometimes referred to as “money mules,” who have been providing critical services to fraudsters by receiving money from fraud victims and forwarding the fraud proceeds to the perpetrators (many of whom are based overseas). Some individuals knew they were facilitating fraud. Others first interacted with fraudsters as victims and may have been unaware that their activity furthered criminal activity. Over approximately the last three months, law enforcement took over 4,000 actions against individuals responsible for facilitating a range of fraud schemes. These schemes included those that targeted consumers, such as lottery fraud and romance scams, as well as those that targ...

Bad Leadership-Nigeria is not an Exception-Eze(Dr.) Anozie

Nigeria is not an exception when it comes top bad leadership. This assertion was made by the Ezendigbo of Ibadan and Oyo state, Eze(Dr.)Alex Anozie. ''There is nothing like that. I am only saying that truth and justice should always prevail. As regards bad leadership, Nigeria is not an exception. I am talking about the whole world. Bad leadership is causing crises all over the world. I am only showing sympathy for justice, equity and fairness and selfless leadership and leadership by example. I have been Ezendigbo for 26 years, nobody is paying for my services. There is peace in my domain. So, what I am saying is about the whole world at large and Nigeria is part of the world. Everybody knows the situation in Nigeria. But I must congratulate this government for putting machinery in motion for the completion of the second Niger Bridge. I was one of the people that first called for the construction of the second Niger Bridge and I am happy that we have seen the completion of t...

Seeking Foreign Direct Investment

Image
b>Lawlessness is now the way of life in Nigeria, due to the lingering poverty and hunger in the land. A review of the economy and security architecture will unravel the untold story, only if a transparent probe is conducted in the days to come. A number of the crises in the last eight years have generated revenue for a few pockets, with millions of Nigerians always contending with the sufferings and hardships during such crises. Indeed, the interests of Nigerians have been undermined or destabilized based on ethnic, religious and gender considerations. Sadly, the political leaders in the states, have failed to convincingly ensure a conducive environment, but are in the nick of time, seeking direct investment. Investors can only develop confidence in the economy when there is regular electricity supply, free flow of potable water, good and motorable roads, security of lives and property, skilled and trained power and favorable incentives for startups.

The Lesson of Gratitude

Image
Let us cultivate the habit of goiving thanks to God in every situation. Learning the lesson of gratitude reduces the negative effects of our expriences in all situation. 2 Corinthians 12 : 1-10 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) 4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. 6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. 7 And lest I ...
