Misappropriation of Federal Revenue Allocation for National Security is Treason

Sambo Dasuki, former National Security Adviser, received an extra-budgetary allocation of $2.1 billion from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) within nine months after approvals by former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Misappropriation of federal revenue allocation for national security is treason.
It is the worst crime to commit against a sovereign state.

What former President Goodluck Jonathan did caused the unfortunate deaths thousands of innocent Nigerians, including women and children who would have been alive today.
Only the bereaved families, relations and friends of the unfortunate victims know the depths of their great loss .

Mohammed Sambo Dasuki said he only obeyed the instructions of former President Jonathan.

If Mr. Jonathan did not lose the 2015 presidential election, the rest of the world would not have known about these criminal misappropriations, and the national security of Nigerians would have been further jeopardized with more loss of precious lives, because of the evil greed for political power by Mr. Jonathan and his cabal of political contractors and cultists from the Niger Delta to Abuja.

Political amnesia is a common disease among majority of Nigerians who forget the horrible acts of terrible political leaders of the past and fail to learn from the political calamities of the past..

 I have not forgotten the unknown little girl the demonic Boko Haram strapped explosive device around her and sent her as a suicide bomber to blow up people at the market, but she chose to run away and blew up herself to sacrifice her life to save others. Oh! What a horrifying way for an innocent Nigerian child to die. But I know majority of us have forgotten her. To me, she is a martyr and I will never forget her
If only she was identified, her name should have been used in memorial tribute to her and the other innocent children used and killed as suicide bombers by the demonic Boko Haram terrorists in the north eastern region of Nigeria.

Those who forget the lessons of history will repeat the mistakes of the past in the future.

$50 Oil Means Stability to American Producers, Says Canary CEO

Dan K. Eberhart, CEO of Canary, LLC.
 
HOUSTON, May 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The history of the oil industry is a tale of boom and bust cycles. But when oil climbed to $50 per barrel for the first time since last fall, it may have signaled the end of one of most protracted slumps American producers have seen, says Dan K. Eberhart, CEO, Canary, LLC.
During the historic price collapse of the 1980s, oil fell to about $25 per barrel in 2016 dollars, while this time, oil bottomed out at $26.21 per barrel in February.

Lagos Joins New Members of 100 Resilient Cities in the World

Lagos, Africa's largest megacity has been named among the next group of cities ready to take the lead, joining 63 existing members of the 100 Resilient Cities pioneered by The Rockefeller Foundation.

100 Resilient Cities And The Rockefeller Foundation Announce 37 New Member Cities, Reaching 100 City Milestone For Its Global Network 
Diverse Group of 100 Cities to Shape Global Urban Resilience Movement, Building Off Notable Progress Since 100RC's Inception in 2013

100RC Provides Member Cities with Funding to Hire a Chief Resilience Officer, Access to Over $200 Million (USD) in Services, and Critical Support to Develop a City Resilience Strategy  

WASHINGTON and NAIROBI, Kenya, May 25, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, 100 Resilient Cities – Pioneered by The Rockefeller Foundation (100RC) announced the next 37 member cities to join its global network. Together with a prominent group of mayors from around the world, The Rockefeller Foundation President Dr. Judith Rodin and 100RC President Michael Berkowitz announced the newest cities to join the $164 million (USD) global initiative at joint events in Nairobi, Kenya and Washington, DC. This new cohort spans five continents, including major urban centers Nairobi, Jakarta, Buenos Aires, and eight American cities – including a unique partnership across Miami, Miami Beach, and Miami Dade County – and fulfills the organization's founding commitment to build a network of 100 cities. Through three challenge processes since its inception in 2013, 100RC has received more than 1,000 applications to join its Network, including 325 in this most recent challenge.

As members of the 100RC Network, cities receive grant funding to hire a Chief Resilience Officer (CRO), an innovative new position within municipal government to work directly with city leaders in developing a city Resilience Strategy. The strategy, designed with support from 100RC, helps cities plan for more integrated solutions to the challenges posed from globalization, urbanization, and climate change – including important social and economic impacts.  The 100RC Network provides member cities with greater than $200 million (USD) in direct support from the 100RC Platform of Partners, which provides critical tools, services, and technical assistance from organizations like Swiss Re, Microsoft, the World Bank, and the International Rescue Committee. And cities in the 100RC Network are connected through a peer-to-peer network, leading to groundbreaking cross-city partnerships and solutions. Notably, in the fall of 2015, 100RC hosted a Network Exchange in Rotterdam, the Netherlands – which aggregated challenges from across the 100RC Network on water management issues to learn from leading water experts and bring solutions home to cities as diverse as Berkeley, Calif. and Surat, India.

"The 100 Resilient Cities Network is showing the global community a new way of coping with shared, complex challenges – building urban resilience," said Dr. Judith Rodin, President of The Rockefeller Foundation. "Incorporating resilience planning and principles not only prepares cities for disasters and long-term threats, but also improves everyday living standards for all members of an urban community. The geographical, political, and cultural diversity in the now-complete 100RC network demonstrates that when it comes to dealing with this century's toughest challenges, resilience planning is essential."

"Since 100RC's founding in 2013, we have seen the resilience movement grow from a bold idea into a burgeoning fixture of local governments all over the world," said Michael Berkowitz, President of 100 Resilient Cities. "We are proud today to celebrate the fulfillment of our initial commitment to reach 100 cities – but the real work lies ahead. The threshold of success for 100RC will not solely be progress within our network of 100 cities. Instead, it will be the ability for solutions to scale, and for all cities around the world to build off of the innovative work leveraged by these 100 Resilient Cities through implementation of their Resilience Strategies."

The final cohort to enter the 100RC Network includes:

• Greater Miami and the Beaches, USA
• Washington, DC, USA
• Nashville, USA
• Seattle, USA
• Atlanta, USA
• Honolulu, USA
• Minneapolis, USA
• Louisville, USA
• Calgary, Canada
• Toronto, Canada
• Vancouver, Canada
• Buenos Aires, Argentina
• Montevideo, Uruguay
• Colima, Mexico
• Guadalajara (Metro), Mexico
• Salvador, Brazil
• Panama City, Panama
• Tel Aviv, Israel
• Luxor, Egypt
• Greater Manchester, England
• Belfast, Northern Ireland
• Tbilisi, Georgia
• The Hague, The Netherlands
• Pune, India
• Jaipur, India
• Seoul, South Korea
• Kyoto, Japan
• Can Tho, Vietnam
• Jakarta, Indonesia
• Melaka, Malaysia
• Haiyan, China
• Yiwu, China
• Lagos, Nigeria
• Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
• Cape Town, South Africa
• Nairobi, Kenya
• Paynesville, Liberia

"Washington, DC has always been a symbol of strength for our nation, and the city's inclusion in the 100 Resilient Cities Network will put us on a path to an even brighter, more resilient future," said Mayor Muriel Bowser. "As our nation's capital grows, we must find ways to bolster our resilience while protecting and preserving our prosperity. We look forward to our partnership with 100 Resilient Cities, and the ability to hire a Chief Resilience Officer to lead DC's resilience efforts, while connecting and learning from other global cities in the networks.

100RC selected cities based on each city's demonstrated commitment to building resilience in the face of the complex, multiform challenges of the 21st Century – along with strong mayoral leadership and commitment to the initiative. 100RC's program empowers cities to design, implement, and manage proactive solutions to the challenges posed by urbanization, globalization, and climate change, including short-term shocks like natural disasters, and long-term stresses like sea level rise and cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
Since its inception in 2013, the 100RC Network has seen remarkable progress – laying the foundation for expanding the impact of its work from 100 cities to a broader group of cities around the world:

• Since 2013, more than 50 CROs have been appointed through 100RC, which has also inspired governments around the globe to appoint CROs on their own, separate from the 100RC program – including CROs at higher levels of government. In the 100RC Network, cities are reorganizing around the concept of resilience—with many cities in the 100RC Network already formalizing the role of the CROs as a permanent fixture within their city government.
• A dozen members of the 100RC Network have already released Resilience Strategies, including Resilient New Orleans, winner of the 2016 American Planning Association National Planning Excellence Award. These strategies are outlining specific initiatives for resilience building and are laying the groundwork for significant investment—both from governments and from outside funders. Three members of the 100RC Network – New York, N.Y.; New Orleans, La.; and Norfolk, Va. – received a combined $400 million (USD) in federal funding after successfully leveraging their Resilience Strategies to apply for funding through the National Disaster Resilience Competition, administered by the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development. Now cities will also have access to a tool that helps them assess their resilience using a new, best-in-class index (the City Resilience Index).
• 100RC Member cities have leveraged tools and technical assistance through more than 100 engagements with the 100RC Platform of Partners. In addition to their more than $200 million (USD) in commitments to the 100RC Network, partners have innovated and developed new services and tools to better meet cities' resilience building challenges. Collaborations between 100RC Platform Partners, such as the work of 100RC partners Swiss Re (the world's second-largest reinsurer) and Veolia (a transnational service and utility giant), are better preparing cities in the 100RC Network to understand the risk exposure of critical assets under current and future climate scenarios. This partnership not only arms cities with new tools to deal with the constantly evolving risks they face, but will also ensure the livability and vibrancy of cities by building their economic and physical resilience.
• Markets are beginning to react to the work of 100RC, notably in 2015 when Moody's, one of the big three credit agencies, credited the Resilience Strategy process in Norfolk, VA as partial rationale for maintaining the region's credit rating.

A list of the full 100RC network is available here.

Mandela Washington Fellows Discuss Sustainable Future for Africa

Mandela Washington Fellows Discuss Sustainable Future for Africa

 ACCRA, Ghana, May 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Over 160 young leaders from 21 West African countries gathered in Accra, Ghana, to share their expertise and engage on critical issues for the future of Africa.  In support of U.S. President Barack Obama's Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders, USAID and IREX organized the West Africa Regional Conference for the Fellows in Accra from May 19 – 21, 2016. The Fellows are leading social entrepreneurs, public servants, and community activists who are creating positive change in their communities.

How To Apply for the Mandela Washington Fellowship

Applying for the Mandela Washington Fellowship: Pitching yourself in the personal essay

Whether you’re writing an essay to apply for admission to university, graduate school or the Mandela Washington Fellowship, your job is the same: demonstrating to the decision-makers that you’re the person to choose. That’s the essence of a “pitch,” whether in business meeting or a personal essay.
In the case of the Mandela Washington Fellowship, focusing on “how to write a personal essay is the most important,” according to Edward Monster, public affairs officer in Malawi who reviews applications for the Fellowship. “Too many applicants used the essays to describe ‘big-picture’ problems in their country or region,” said Monster, “but failed to describe exactly what they as individuals were doing to confront the specific challenges in their communities.”

The Popular WAEC Bus Stop in Yaba, Lagos

 The Popular WAEC Bus Stop in Yaba, Lagos

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) Bus Stop in Yaba on the mainland of Lagos is one of the most popular locations in Lagos state, because the headquarters of WAEC is located near the bus stop with the tallest building towering above other buildings in the area. It is also the main bus stop of the famous Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH), the first tertiary institution in Nigeria founded in 1947. It is directly opposite the WAEC building and close to the nearby Federal Science and Technical College (FSTC). Therefore, thousands of students of the two schools use the bus stop with hundreds of other commuters taking different public and private transport vehicles such as the popular "Danfo" minibuses, "Keke" tricyles, "Okada" motorcycles and taxi cabs.

Read The Mafia Manager for Victory in Corporate Warfare

Have you read The Mafia manager : A Guide to The Corporate Machiavelli ?
 If you want to know how to compete and succeed in the corporate world, then read the book asap.
 I have read it and I recommend it as I have also once recommended the Holy Bible, The Art Of War by Sun Tzu and The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene

In the dog eat dog corporate world, being ruthless is necessary for success according to the Machiavellian rules of the Mafia. All I know about the author is that V is a Capo of distinguished fame, keeps several residences around the world. His present location is a guarded secret.

Review

“Whoever V. is, he offers the sort of advice it is dangerous to refuse.” ―Playboy
“A grimly brutally humorous book at the business world. Consider it a merger, or hostile takeover, so to speak, of How to Get Ahead in Business Without Really Trying by The Godfather.” ―The Washington Post

The world's oldest and best-organized conglomerate now reveals management techniques everyone can use. Unlike other guides to business, The Mafia Manager shuns theoretical verbiage to present the philosophy of leadership that founded and captained "The Silent Empire" through centuries of expansion and success. Some sample pearls of wisdom:

-"Be sure you understand what your boss has ordered before you act on his command. What if you whack the wrong guy, or bomb the wrong joint...Learn the art of asking questions."
-"Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer."
-"Don't become involved in any office political battle without first asking yourself, 'What's in it for me?' and then 'What's in it for them?'"
-"If you must lie, be brief."

WCommunity Invites Nigerian Children To Studying Abroad 1.0.1

Ivy League schools are some of the most prestigious schools in the world with high selectivity in admission. The combine academic excellence with the development of the students’ particular and individual skills and talents. They also encourage a strong network of alumni bodies with connections to the best opportunities after school life. The schools are eight in number: Cornell University, Harvard University, Yale University, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, Columbia University, Brown University and Dartmouth College.

Getting into any of the Ivy League schools requires adequate preparation on the part of parents as well as the child. Although these universities are for young adults, any parent that intends to enroll his/her ward in one of these schools would need to start the training the child from a tender age.

The College admissions process can be very stressful and confusing, especially for families located outside of the United States, including Nigeria, we are facilitating access to accurate information and expert guidance to help families and students face the college application experience more informed, better prepared and equipped to find a perfect institution.

Producing a Documentary Film is More Challenging than Making a Movie

Meg Masha at the new Tinubu Square in "Sights and Sounds of Lagos" tourist documentary film.

Only filmmakers who have produced both documentaries and movies can understand what I am saying.

I have been professionally engaged in TV and Film productions since I was 17 as a script writer and puppeteer for TV puppet drama at the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Channel 10 on Victoria Island in Lagos before I joined others on different locations of Nollywood movies more as an observer than an actor in the 1990s. Then in 1998, I ended up as the Production Manager of "Money Wise" on DBN TV, the first private TV station in Nigeria founded by Sonny Adun in the 1980s.
