  • Knowledge by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke


    KnowKnowledge is either acquired or imbued by the endowment. Knowledge about things is fundamental to human growth and development and it has to do with the need for safety and security consciousness with growth.
    Knowledge makes one be able to, differentiate between predators and friendly beings.
    It determines mand relevance and order of importance to human life and development for the body and psyche to be able to cope with endowed and encountered knowledge. It cal also be classified into the voyage of life in the physical world as well as to that of the unseen which has a direct relation to the spiritual life of every human.
    Education, whether formal or informal must have a process of refining knowledge for the consumption of learners to be directed towards a positive mindset only. Otherwise, knowledge may become a toxic substance that may deform rather than reform because of the associated garbages which religion is struggling to suppress in every human.
    knowledge, therefore, portends that every project to be laudable must be a conglomerate of the network of Science, Technology, Management, and Commerce, in an environment of self-esteem, due process, and the fear of God to mix the realities of the physical world and that of the unseen.
    It must be functional for it to be meaningful.
    Every one of us must be challenged with the dynamics of knowledge but with safety valves that would prevent misuse.
    Knowledge is a must value to promote information, transmission for human comprehension and development and must be regarded as the acquisition through learning, experience to enhance learners'  practical ability into real skill development. We must daily increase our knowledge base for relevance and credbility.

  • Chicago Man Convicted of Attempting To Provide Material Support to ISIS

    • On 21/10/2021
    • In News

    CHICAGO — A federal jury today convicted a Chicago man of attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS).

    The jury convicted THOMAS OSADZINSKI, 22, after a two-week trial in U.S. District Court in Chicago. The charge of attempting to provide material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization is punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison. U.S. District Judge Robert W. Gettleman did not immediately set a sentencing date.

    The conviction was announced by John R. Lausch, Jr., United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois; Mark Lesko, Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security at the U.S. Department of Justice; and Emmerson Buie, Jr., Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago Field Office of the FBI. 

    The case was investigated by the Chicago Joint Terrorism Task Force, which is comprised of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Barry Jonas and Melody Wells of the Northern District of Illinois, and Alexandra Hughes, Trial Attorney of the National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section.

    Evidence presented at trial revealed that ISIS and its supporters disseminated the terror group’s propaganda materials on social media to recruit fighters and inspire violence against the United States and other countries. Many social media platforms remove ISIS media content due to the violent nature of the materials. Osadzinski, a U.S. citizen, designed a process using a computer script to make ISIS propaganda more conveniently disseminated online. The process would automatically copy and preserve ISIS media postings in an organized format, allowing social media users to continue to conveniently access and share the content.

    Osadzinski in 2019 shared his script – and instructions for how to use it – with individuals whom he believed to be ISIS supporters and members of pro-ISIS media organizations. Unbeknownst to Osadzinski, the individuals were actually covert FBI employees and a person confidentially working with law enforcement.

  • Two Parents Convicted by Jury in College Admissions Scheme

                                                                      Press Release

    Former senior executives convicted of participating in “side door” scheme to facilitate their children’s college admissions to the University of Southern California

    BOSTON – Two former executives were convicted today by a federal jury in Boston in connection with conspiring to bribe athletic officials to facilitate their children’s admission to the University of Southern California (USC) as purported athletic recruits.

    John Wilson, 62, of Lynnfield, Mass., and Gamal Abdelaziz, 64, of Las Vegas, Nev., were convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and honest services mail and wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery. Wilson was also convicted of three counts of wire fraud and honest services wire fraud, two counts of federal programs bribery, and one count of filing a false tax return. U.S. District Court Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton scheduled sentencing for Feb. 16, 2022 for Abdelaziz and Feb. 17, 2022 for Wilson.

    In 2013, Wilson agreed to pay William “Rick” Singer $220,000 to facilitate his son’s admission to USC as a purported water polo player. More specifically, in October 2013, Singer sent Wilson a water polo profile for Wilson’s son that included fabricated awards and swim times. After Wilson’s son was accepted to USC, Wilson wired $100,000 to Singer’s sham charity, the Key Worldwide Foundation (KWF), $100,000 to Singer’s company, The Key, and $20,000 directly to Singer. Wilson paid the bribe from a corporate account and deducted it as a business expense. In 2018, Wilson agreed to pay Singer $1.5 million to have his twin daughters admitted to Harvard University and Stanford University as purported sailing recruits.

    In 2017, Abdelaziz agreed to pay Singer $300,000 to facilitate the admission of his daughter to USC as a purported basketball recruit, despite the fact that she did not make her high school’s varsity team and did not play basketball at all during her junior and senior years in high school. In a July 2017 email, Singer asked Abdelaziz for an action shot of his daughter playing basketball to be used in an athletic profile for USC. A co-conspirator, Laura Janke, created a phony athletic profile for Abdelaziz’s daughter which included falsified awards and athletic honors. In October 2017, Abdelaziz’s daughter was admitted to USC as a basketball recruit and in March 2018, she was formally accepted and Abdelaziz wired $300,000 to KWF.

    Singer and Janke previously pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing.
