N1.35 Billion Fraud: You Mean I Am Now A Prisoner? Ex Governor Lamido Asks


Earlier, the defence counsel, Mr. Effiong, had argued that remanding the accused persons in prison would amount to trampling on their fundamental human rights.
He pleaded that they be sent to either of EFCC’s facilities in Abuja or Kano.
"However, counsel to EFCC, Chile Okoroma, objected to the plea, saying EFCC’s facilities were full to capacity both in Kano and Abuja".

Two things caught my attention in this matter.

Firstly, The Ex Governor even has the temerity to ask if he is now a Prisoner, this country would have witnesses catastrophic situation if Buhari had not emerged President because the corrupt leaders would have continued business as usual

Secondly, EFCC Counsel said their facilities were full to capacity both in Kano and Abuja, hen hen!, so there are so many culprits in EFCC dragnet and yet no change in the corruption perception index of the country, i think Buhari needs to change all the personnel in the EFCC institution because they all must have been infested with a common virus worse than EBOLA.


Justice Must Be Served....

INFORMATION MARKETING: THE MOST PROFITABLE ONLINE BUSINESS

In the last few weeks, I have been privileged to receive so many calls from people who are interested in information about entrepreneurship, small business and start-ups. These requests were attributed to many articles I had published online about starting a business of your own with little or no capital; also, the recent economic downturn has necessitated the search for alternatives to paid employment. Majority of young and the active population makes use of the internet to source for information on virtually anything ranging from “how to”, “what”, “when” of anything imaginable. I won’t be surprised to see people ask Google search engine what President Buhari ate as breakfast. All these centers around information marketing.

When you make a living online, a lot of people won’t understand what it is you do.  Some of them will think you’re nothing more than a spammer - just because you work on the Internet.  You might even run into people who automatically assume you’re into promoting porn, because they think that’s all the Internet is used for! 

You need to be prepared to deal with people like this.  Some of them may even be close friends and family members who are simply ignorant about the various marketing uses for the World Wide Web.

The first thing you need to explain to people is that very few people who work on the Internet are spammers.  Spammers actually make up a very, very small minority of those who make money online. 


If you do any sort of email marketing, you should explain that every single person you send email to have signed up specifically to your newsletter, and clicked a link to confirm that they really want to be on your list. 

Explain to them that subscribing to your newsletter is a lot like signing up for delivery
