The anti-narcotic officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), who were on a routine patrol on Monday along the Abaji-Abuja Expressway, had arrested one John Okafor for being in possession of N48m cash.

DAILPOST gathered that the 25-year-old man was reportedly one of the passengers of a commercial bus coming from Onitsha, Anambra State.

Following his arrest, Okafor maintained that the money belonged to an unidentified Bureau de Change firm in Onitsha. He claimed he was an employee of the firm and he was heading for the foreign exchange market in the Federal Capital Territory to convert the sum to dollars when he was arrested.

“I work for a Bureau de Change in Onitsha. I was asked to purchase dollars at the foreign exchange market in Abuja with the money. When we got to Abaji, our vehicle was searched and the money was found. That is all I know.”

Reports also reveal that that a drug dealer, Chukuka Ugbai, was arrested with 79 bags of weed, confirmed to have tested positive for cannabis, in Bako village in the Kwali Area Council, Abuja during the same patrol.

The drug which weighed 817 kilogrammes was found in his warehouse.

Ugbai had allegedly owned up to being an illicit drug dealer but expressed shock at how the NDLEA operatives were able to trail him to his residence.

He said, “I sell cannabis to take care of my family and pay my children’s school fees. I was not lucky enough because I don’t know how they detected my cannabis warehouse. The officers found 79 bags of cannabis in my store.”

The commander of the NDLEA, Mrs. Chinyere Obijuru, confirmed the two arrests in a statement in Abuja.

She said, “Okafor was on board a commercial bus from Onitsha in Anambra State when N48, 450,000 was found in a brown carton concealed in a sack. He also had in his possession, 86,500 CFA.

“He claimed that the money belongs to a Bureau de Change at Onitsha. He is suspected to be engaging in money laundering and will be transferred to the EFCC for further investigation.”

Chinyere further confirmed that Ugbai was arrested at Bako village in the Kwali Area Council following the discovery of his cannabis warehouse.

“Okafor would be handed over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for further investigation, while Ugbai would be charged to court for unlawful possession of cannabis,” the NDLEA commander noted.

The NDLEA Chairman, Ahmadu Giade, said the agency would continue to clamp down on drug traffickers and urged the public to comply with the provisions of the anti-money laundering act.

8 Problems Of Internet Development In Nigeria

A nation which is seen by a lot of people as the titan of Africa, is an oil-rich nation situated on mid-Africa’s Atlantic coast, or as it is regularly portrayed, West Africa. It is the most populous nation in Africa and the eighth biggest Nation by population on the planet. In the event that Nigeria is to truly experience its desires of rising an extraordinary nation, then it can’t disregard the expanding significance of the Internet in communications, training, business and trade. As of now this noteworthiness is been reflected by the increment in the quantity of cybercafes, ISPs and various Internet based organizations in the nation.

The Internet has impelled the financial and social development of most developed countries and the same impacts are being seen in numerous developing countries. Be that as it may, as reported by Internet world details, Internet entrance in Nigeria remains at just 7.2 percent. Despite the fact that exceptionally poor for a nation priding itself as the goliath of Africa with a tremendous populace of more than 150 million individuals, its potential for development is monstrous and hence positive.

The development of Internet in Nigeria is restricted, contrasted with what is realistic in developed nations. As indicated by late overviews led by one of Nigeria’s principal techonolgy research and managment companies organizations E-shekels limited on effective engagement of the Internet for improvement, has uncovered that individuals were just prepared to utilize an innovation device on the off chance that it enhances their lives. The exploration likewise expressed that there were incredible interest for the Internet offices in Nigeria, yet because of various impediments those requests couldn’t be satisfactorily met. Some of these deterrents impeding ICT and Internet development in Nigeria are listed bellow.

1.) LACK OF POWER SUPPLY –

There is limited and unsteady power supply in the country when compared to the rate of supply in other parts of the world. This has served as one of the major problems hindering Internet growth in the country. The Nigerian government keeps announcing the need for foreign investors to invest in the country without understanding of the fact that no investor would like to push resources, where he would he running at extra cost in energy generation. That is exactly the position of Nigerian investor. Nigeria government has done virtually nothing to ensure steady power supply, her privatization of the PHCN and the change of name to EEDC has not solved the problem. To access the internet fully and steadily, a steady power supply is a criterion, which unfortunately has not been tackled, and this has led to a limited use of the internet by many who desire to use it. With very unreliable power in the country, operators are left with no choice but to acquire and rely constantly on generators; expending huge gallons of fuel daily, in order to distribute internet to offices, homes, or cafes for subscribers. The epileptic power situation in the country has further compounded the woes of the few ISPs and Cyber cafes operating in the country.

2.) POVERTY –

Nigeria is a developing country consisting mainly of poverty-ravaged people who cannot afford three square meals a day. There is high cost of feeding, education, and health in the land. The poor ones will rather not waste their little income to access the internet when they have their priority as food, clothing and shelter. Many cannot afford to own a PC at home, even the fairly used ones being shipped from developed countries; talk less of engagement in internet connectivity for research and exploration.

3.) HIGH LEVEL OF ICT ILLITERACY –

“Illiteracy is a defect,” says the white man’s adage. The high rate of illiteracy in the country is another ugly trend that is hindering the growth of internet use in Nigeria and this has contributed to the decline in the use of this super facility. People are ignorant of what the internet is all about, its uses, applications and benefits in solving their problems. Most people gave not seen a computer before, not to talk of understanding internet concepts. There are other obstacles; just pause, think, and definitely you must remember a few factors you can discuss vividly as an obstacle to growth in Nigeria. Although it must be said that ICT knowledge in Nigeria is growing and being embraced, yet there remain a large majority of rural population that has not seen firsthand, the immense benefits of the internet.

4.) HIGH COST OF GETTING INTERNET – Internet doesn’t come cheap in Nigeria. As it stands, it is arguably the preserve of the rich who often times than one, have access from their homes. One of the reasons for the high cost of connecting to the internet is the costs involved in using satellites due to a lack of cable infrastructure. Most Internet traffic in Nigeria often times needs to be routed by satellite via North America and Europe Website.

5.) LOW SPEED AND TIME-CONSUMING INTERNET – Out of 10 million estimated Internet users in Nigeria, broadband users are few. High-speed broadband requires fiber optic cables. The situation should, however, improve as there are a number of projects underway to connect African countries with the rest of the world through undersea cables which is hoped will eventually lead to affordability and fast internet speed.

6.) INCREASING COMPETITION – Traditional internet service providers are beginning to face increasing competition from internet services offered by mobile operators. The introduction of 3G services in the country has enabled many Nigerians to access the internet through mobile devices. Meanwhile, access to telecom services isn’t necessarily reliant on new cabling. While only 4 percent of people in the country have fixed telephone lines, 30 percent have cell phones.

7.) LACK OF INTERNET READY PCS – Nigerians are not provided with Internet-ready PCs as done in the advanced countries. Though Zinox Computers, a computer manufacturer and a leading CDMA telecom operator are joining forces to make this available, and other efforts are currently being made, much of this still remain in the doldrums.

8.) YAHOO-YAHOO – Another of Nigeria’s Internet problems is the growing internet culture among Nigerian youths representing more than 80 per cent of Nigeria’s population – Young minds due to lack of awareness, low number of Nigerian website on the internet, lack of Nigerian specific e-payment system and poor e-learning culture throng cyber cafes only to check their email accounts, visit pornographic sites, shop online with stolen credit cards and so many other negative vices that has come to be known as YAHOO YAHOO!

Why Can't I Get A Lover? 3 Causes ladies are running from You

1. You Do Not Meet Basic Attractiveness Levels

Young ladies care about looks.

Yet, fortunately for us, not as much as we do…

There are some basic rules that each of us need to have to verify that we are not being excluded as potential sweethearts because of our appearance.

Try not to be fat

Supposing sensibly, what does being fat demonstrate a potential sweetheart young lady?

It demonstrates that you over consume (see reason 2) and that in the event that we were back on the fields of Africa (the time that a lady’s qualities have advanced to characterize attractiveness), what is the probability that you would have the capacity to accommodate her and her kids?

The solution is very simple: develop better havits, find out about nutrition and start to enjoy exercise.

Wear great cloths

Presently this one is harder to legitimize from a transformative point of view so I won’t attempt, you will simply need to trust me, young ladies like fellows that have some thought of fashion.

Read fashion web journals and after that make a head to get some thin pants.

Be very much prepped

On the off chance that you are not very much prepped this suggest to the young lady that you are not able to tend to yourself, not to mention her and her kids?

Along these lines, take a shave, go to a hair stylists for a new trim and brush your regularly.

2. You Take Value

Is it true that you are creating or consuming?

Is it true that you are searching for a sweetheart in light of the fact that it will make you feel better in your miserable and desolate life?

Provided that this is true, I don’t blame you.

It could be contended that standard society profits by a consumer culture. Take more value than you give and you will be very happy.

Notwithstanding, on the off chance that you need to turn the table and can at last acknowledge where genuine bliss originates from you will begin providing value.

What’s more, when you do, you will find that young ladies will tart to assemble around you rather than keep away from you.

3. You Chase

Did you ever play kiss chase when you were more youthful?

Yes, young ladies love chasing young men. They may not concede this but rather they do, they fantasize about it.

On the off chance that you begin chasing that immaculate young lady, you will be assuming her part, the part of the female.

Presently accepting that you are naturally pulled in to ladylike energy (most straight fellows are), the young lady you will be chasing will be repulsed by your activities.

Make a stride back, accept the part of the man and permit her to do what she cherishes to do: kiss chase.

I trust you have now internalised the three reasons that answer the inquiry “why cant’t I get a sweetheart” and have spoken the truth with yourself in the matter of whether they as of now apply to you, and in the event that they do, get the opportunity to work…
