House Committee members walk out on IGP after he refers to the Speaker as 'one Alhaji Tambuwal" Posted: 26 Nov 2014 11:57 AM PST House Committee Members this afternoon walked out on the Inspector general of police, Sulaiman Abba, after he refused to address Speaker Aminu Tambuwal properly when he appeared before the House of Representatives Police Committee today after several days of ignoring their invitation According to Sahara Reporters; while trying to explain why his men invaded the National Assembly last week, the IGP said 'they had credible intelligence that some thugs had planned on causing mayhem at the resumed sitting of the house." His reference to the "Speaker of the House as "one Alhaji Tambuwal" made the committee members mad. Continue... They asked the IGP to properly address the speaker of the house according to protocol but Mr Abba said the case of the speaker was in court and as such he wouldn't like to comment further on it. The committee member refused to proceed with the hearing until the IGP properly addressed the speaker. They said as long as he refuses to do so, they too would no longer recognize him as IG. They argued back and forth and the members walked out on the IGP. Source: Sahara Reporters |
Read Piers Morgan's piece on Ferguson police officer, Darren Wilson Posted: 26 Nov 2014 11:38 AM PST I thought it was strange that during his ABC interview he said he felt his life was threatened by unarmed teenager Michael Brown. Asked why, officer Wilson said because Michael was big. Thing is, he's as big as the teenager so when he said he had no other choice but kill to him when Michael supposedly came charging at him, he goofed. Read what Piers wrote about it all on MailOnline Darren Wilson is the first 6ft 4in, 210lb five-year-old in history - by Piers Morgan This is how Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson justified shooting black teenager Michael Brown. Reading this particular piece of evidence from the vast dump of Grand Jury documents released last night, it'd be impossible not to sympathize with Wilson. A lone 'small' policeman in a patrol car confronted by a gigantic Hulk. There's just one problem. Wilson, by his own admission in his police interview, is 6ft 4in tall, the exact same height as Michael Brown. He also weighs 210lbs, which may be 80lbs lighter than Brown, but still makes him a pretty hefty unit. Put it this way, I've never seen or heard of any 6ft 4in, 210lb five-year-old boys, have you? Wilson paints a very detailed and vivid picture of the savage beating he took from Brown. 'I was hit right here in the side of the face with a fist,' he said. 'I think it was a full-on swing but not a full shot. I think my arm deflected some of it, but there was still a significant amount of contact that was made to my face.' Then, allegedly, came a second punch. 'I see his hand coming back around…and he hit me with a full swing.' Imagine being hit by two full swing punches at close quarters by a 6ft 4in guy weighing nearly 300lbs? You would think the damage would be pretty severe, right? Yet the photographs released last night of Wilson's injuries show what appears to be a very minor bruise on his cheek, a tiny shaving-style cut on his chin, and a bit of reddening around the back of his neck. (By comparison, my three-year-old daughter – 38 inches high and 32lbs in weight - recently broke my wife's nose with a playful head-butt.) Evidence presented to the Grand Jury says Wilson didn't feel the need to go to hospital, but agreed to after a conversation with his attorney. Hospital staff found no significant injury at all. Yet Wilson says the reason he felt compelled to shoot Brown is because he feared 'another one of those punches in my face could knock me out or worse…I've already taken two to the face, the third one could be fatal if he hit me right.' Fatal? Really? After two blows that didn't require medical treatment? Dig further into the weeds of Wilson's account and you learn that Brown was supposedly carrying a bunch of cigarillos in his right hand when he delivered the first punch, then switched them to his left hand and passed them to his friend before delivering the second punch. Yet despite all this apparently intense struggle going on inside the car, there was not a single trace of cigarillo found anywhere in the vehicle. |

First Bank: Putting You First Even In Money Transfers Posted: 26 Nov 2014 05:51 AM PST As one of Nigeria's foremost financial institutions, FirstBank of Nigeria is known for putting its customers first with innovative products and services that suit their everyday needs. This proposition embedded in its YouFirst pay-off line extends to the bank's money transfer services, a service which the institution pioneers in Nigeria. In 1996, FirstBank and Western Union partnered to launch the latter's money transfer services in Nigeria. Apart from a smooth running of the Western Union Money Transfer service for the past 18 years in Nigeria, in 2015, the service will be 20 years old in Africa. Money Transfer services in Nigeria are safe, secure and credible. This is demonstrated in the volume of remittances (transactions) the country received in 2013, which stands at an impressive 21 billion USD (this includes wire transfers, informal and transfers through Western Union, MoneyGram etc). This singular fact makes Nigeria the 5th largest recipient of remittances in the world. As simple as remittances may appear, they are important to developing economies (such as Nigeria) for the following reasons: · Remittances are complement to aids granted to developing economies, sometimes more than international development aids · Remittances are bigger than private capital flows/FDIs and as such aids in the development of the economy. · Remittances even though impacted by the Global financial crisis still survived the shock more than Foreign Direct Investment. · Remittance helps to save lives through direct support by providing for loved ones in remote areas of the world. FirstBank has also expended heavily in network visibility for money transfer services by opening for business 7days a week, Public Holidays inclusive. FirstBank also pioneered the dollar payout in Nigeria for money transfer services, aggressively creating awareness for the service amongst customers while rewarding patronage and loyalty. The continuous efforts of FirstBank in this regard have not gone unnoticed, as the bank has bagged some prestigious awards for experience and investment such as: Western Union Productivity Award for EMEASA Region, Western Union 500 Highest Improvement Award, Western Union Best Agent Infrastructure, and Money Gram Best Receive Agent. In order to curb fraudulent activities and transactions, FirstBank in Partnership with Money Transfer Operators have come up with some initiatives which include: discontinuation of pay without ID, restriction of payment to strictly the provision of MTCN (Hitherto, search of transfers with either sender or receiver's name), regular annual training of their operators, introduction of 2nd level authentication for payment (pin pads), introductions of streamlined payout procedures,introduction of forced payment for transactions that were not paid, as well as Strict compliance with CBN directive on transaction payment to account holders or individuals identified by account holders. First Bank of Nigeria's experience in Money Transfer service offerings, has led various Money Transfer operator partnerships with the bank to introduce the Outbound Service which enables customers send funds abroad to their relatives and loved ones. As of today, FirstBank remains the only agent offering the Western Union Outbound service and RIA Outbound Service. The Outbound service is also available for MoneyGram via NaijaSends. The Bank is also implementing some variants of the service which include Mobile Money Transfer and Account Based Money Transfer. FirstBank's relentless pursuit of innovation in money transfer services is second to none, as the bank offers an option where a beneficiary can receive transferred funds directly as a credit to his or her account. This service which is available for both Transfast and RIA money transfers, assists in reducing and even eliminating the rate of funds 'hijacked' by fraudulent persons, overall making the process a cashless one while putting the customer first! All these laudable initiatives point to the fact that customers of FirstBank remain at the heart of the bank's money transfer services and are guaranteed safe and secure transactions as they make use of this service. Full details of various First Bank of Nigeria's money transfer services are available on www.firstbanknigeria.com . |
