  • The Powers of Government

    Property 2

    The forceful acquisition of property(land and houses) is the trend in Nigeria presently.

    Those who act out this script are both in the public and private sectors and do not have regard for the contents of the law on ownership of property.

    Hiding under the cover of laughable policies, property of innocent citizens are annexed. Their greed and insatiable appetite for oppressing the people have overwhelmed the humanity in them.

    The Judiciary which is supposed to be the last resort of the common man, are co-travelers with those that call the shots at the Federal, States and Local Governments.

    The only hope for the people lies in divine intervention.

    On Jan. 25, Grier pleaded guilty to conspiracy to offer bribes and provide contraband to inmates of a federal prison. She is scheduled to be sentenced on April 28, and faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

  • Fear God Only by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke

    Prof 3The situation of the world growing wild with accompanying moral rots and institutional indiscipline has led the religious sector to be socio-divinely passive.

    The dying profile of all agents of socialization is, therefore, at the mercy of satanic control.

    The big question is, therefore, on who is to activate what ?

    This is why the Governments of many nations are usually working to fail, making the environment to be ungovernable and uninhabitable through the pockets of emerging states of insecurity. The simple reason is because of change over of the sacred status of the houses of God into that of profanity making religious leaders to aid and abet iniquities.

    The solution, therefore, is for humans to return to God without been fraudulent, using the process of the fear of God.

    From the Holy Bible, Luke 12 : 4–7, ‘’have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

    4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

    5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

    6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

    7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.’’

    God 9

    The essence of attending the houses of God is to learn correctly About God and the process of worshiping Him. This is to allow adherents to have a direct alignment with their creator to establish permanent God/man relations onto God only , therefor every soul or body must direct his or her thoughts.

    Religion, therefore, is a school of faith building on the supremacy of God over all things. 

    The Holy Quran 16 : 49–53 certifies this assertion.

    ‘’And to Allah doth prostrate all that is in the heavens and on earth, whether moving creatures or the angels : for none are arrogant before their lord. They all fear their lord, high above them, and they do all that they are commanded. Allah hath said take not for worship two gods : for He is just One God : then fear Me and Me alone. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and on earth And to Him is the religion always(divine construct) : then will ye fear other than Allah ? And ye have no good things but is from Allah : and moreover, when ye are touched by distress onto Him ye cry with groans.’’

    The worrisome state of human ingratitude make us become a bundle of contradiction . We profess without walking the talk ! 

    The Holy Quran 16 : 54–55 admonish all humans to make timely adjustment to avoid facing the penalty .

    ‘’Yet when ye remove the distresses from you behold some of you turn to other gods to join with their lord. To show their ingratitude for the favors we have bestowed on them ! Then enjoy your brief day but soon will ye know your folly.’’

    My advice, fear only God the almighty Allah.

  • Former Corrections Officer Sentenced for Smuggling Drugs

    SAN DIEGO — Anibal Navarro, a former corrections officer at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility, was sentenced in federal court today to 37 months in prison for smuggling methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana and cell phones into state prison.

    Navarro pleaded guilty, admitting that he was part of a network of 12 individuals both inside and outside the prison that smuggled in contraband and illegal narcotics. All the other defendants have pleaded guilty and been sentenced (case number 17cr446-AJB).

    One of Navarro’s co-conspirators, prison inmate Martin Gomez, organized and directed the other participants, including Navarro, from his cell in California state prisons in San Diego and Los Angeles. Gomez arranged for individuals outside of prison to smuggle contraband into Donovan prison and deliver drugs and cell phones to various inmates through Navarro. Gomez directed those inmates to receive the contraband and deliver it to still other inmates within the prison.

    Gomez approached Navarro while Gomez was an inmate at Donovan, offering him an avenue to make extra money that Gomez knew Navarro needed. Navarro was paid between $1,000 and $2,000 each time he smuggled contraband into the prison. Gomez continued to lead the conspiracy for over two years, even after he was transferred out of Donovan to another prison. Over 500 grams of methamphetamine, heroin, cell phones, and other contraband were smuggled into Donovan through Navarro at Gomez’s direction while he was incarcerated elsewhere.

    The smuggled phones were used to coordinate criminal activity both inside and outside Donovan.

    “Corrections Officers are charged with the responsibility of keeping the public, inmates, and other prison staff safe,” said U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman. “Former Officer Navarro personally profited from creating a dangerous environment in the prison by smuggling in extremely harmful and addictive narcotics. Additionally, cell phones inside a prison allow inmates to coordinate other illegal acts, like smuggling drugs, fraud, and even violence. Today’s sentence demonstrates that the significant consequences far outweigh any financial gain for those who abuse their positions of trust.” Grossman thanked the prosecution team, the FBI, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s Office of Internal Affairs, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s Investigative Service Unit and the United States Postal Service — Inspector Service, for their excellent work on this case.

    “Anibal Navarro abused his position and betrayed his oath as a Corrections Officer to further a conspiracy which included smuggling dangerous drugs and cell phones into our state prison system, allowing inmates to continue their criminal enterprise even while incarcerated,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Suzanne Turner. “Today’s sentence hopefully sends a message to any government employee considering using their position of authority to further their own interests and enrich themselves — the FBI will continue to work diligently to root out public corruption at all levels.”

  • The Right to Freedom of Thought Conscience and Religion by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke

    Prof 3Thought is a process of the dynamics of the mind, in establishing ideas or opinions through the thinking flame that in most cases result in actions.
    It could be regarded as cognitive processes energizing sensory stimulation and it can happen independently to every individual, in the areas of judgment, deliberation, reasoning, concept dynamics, and problem-solving.Conscience
    When the result is positive, it favors social and interpersonal relationships.
    And when it is negative it may hurt the feelings of others or damage to a destructive level. This is why it becomes an issue of the right to freedom.               

    Read-Legalizing Crime and Criminality
    Generally, therefore, our educational orientation must be directed towards a positive mindset for a right to freedom of thought to be beneficial to all.
    In the same manner, every individual ought to be entitled to the freedom of conscience.
    In religious parlance, we believe that the almighty God dominates to correct the system of man preventing or minimizing wrongdoings and maximizing the moral sense of right.
    It becomes an issue before God and man when one becomes an adolescent starting from the age of puberty. This is a period when one is accountable for any of his deeds.                         

                                                                                             -Landlords and Tenants Associations, Crime and Criminality
    Conscience is very important to every human and society as a whole.  Any individual with the right conscience will never indulge in dastardly acts, hence the right of every individual to the free to conscience must be worked on through the correct educational programs. The right to the freedom of religion is equally very important if we are able to view religion from the perspective of the socio-spiritual inspirational school, where faith in a particular belief is considered to be built on the rock of a positive mindset of self-relevance, confidence, self-esteem and a positive mental attitude. This will make an individual be permanently aligned with his creator.

    The right to freedom of religion, therefore, becomes an issue, where it could not be effectively regulated and controlled into the right and beneficial practices.
    There is, therefore, the dire need to challenge religious leaders to role model the right practices of religion to enjoy the cover of protection under the fundamental human rights charter.
    Generally, therefore, every individual ought to be entitled to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, provided all-controlling leaders are able to role model the virtues of life.

  • Adultery Ruins Avoid it by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke

    Prof 3To appreciate the difference between animal and man, the area of mating is pointer.

    Take note that adultery may bring shame and betrayal of trust as well as risking the consequence of divine sanctions and decay.

    The Holy Quran and the Holy Bible are unanimous on this.

    The Holy Quran 17 : 32 refers, ‘’ Never come nigh to adultery : For it is an indecent deed and an evil way.’’

    The Holy Bible Matthew 5 : 27–28 equally emphasizes on sexual sins.

    ‘’You have heard that it was said don’t do the sin of adultery. But I tell you that, if a person looks at a woman and wants to sin sexually with her, then that person has already done that sin with the woman in his mind.’’

    The wisdom of avoiding adultery is captured in the Holy Bible Proverbs 5 : 3–14, ‘’For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

    4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.

    5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

    6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.

    7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

    8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

    9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

    10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;

    11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

    12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

    13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

    14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.’’

    The Holy Quran, therefore warns that we should avoid adultery with a case study of the penalty of flogging as a preventive measure from plunging oneself into the wrath of God; if and only if one wants to remain a believer.

    The Holy Quran 24 : 2 refers, ‘’ The woman and the man guilty of fornication,-flog each of them with a hundred stripes : let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah; if ye believe in Allah in the Last Day : And let a party of the believers witness their punishment.’’

    Adultery 2

    Since the punishment for adultery and fornication is socaiily lower than the spiritual consequence and that in any of the ways, adultery can create bad blood, big fight and poisonous feud.

    The believers must make it mandatory for themselves to keep chastity against all odds and avoid keeping of bad company not to become victims of people’s snares to slander their names.

    The Holy Quran 24 : 23 warns all of us. ‘’ Those who slander chaste, indiscreet and believing women are cursed this life and in the Hereafter : For them is a grievous chastisement.’’

    Adultery can ruin avoid it, therefore, and role model exemplary lifestyles as we step into the new year.

  • The Right to Fair Hearing by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke

    Prof 3Fair hearing could be described as the process that ensures that the trial of an individual conforms to the fundamental concept of justice and equality.

    The right to fair hearing, therefore, requires that an individual ought not to be penalized by decisions affecting their rights or legitimate expectations, unless they have been given prior notice of the case.

    Secondly, a fair opportunity to respond must equally be given and thirdly, the opportunity to present their own case.

    Respect for the following four essentials are therefore crucial :

    Adequate notice should be served to the accused.

    2. The accused must be duly informed about the evidence against him, her or them.

    3. The accused must be given the opportunity to present his, her or their cases as well as the relevant evidences.

    4. The accused must be given the opportunity to contest adverse evidences.

    Fair 1

    It must be noted that presumptions, assumptions or insinuations are clogs in the wheel of an enabling environment for fair hearing. Therefore, the sine qua non or essential conditions for fair hearing must be created.

    The right to know the facts of the suit or case must be precondition for the commencement of any hearing.

    The right to fair hearing must be seen to have been achieved, not to give room to coercion or other process that negates the provisions of fair hearing.

    In addition, the right to fair hearing/public hearing before a competent, independent and impartial court or tribunal established by law must be guaranteed.

    The presumption of innocence without molestation without molestation must be guaranteed.

    The right to fair hearing is an essential ingredient of democracy and it ensures that the people’s interests are well taken care of when it comes to civil rights and obligations including any question or determination of by or against any government or authority, whereby a person shall be entitled to fair hearing within a reasonable time by a court or other tribunal established by law.

  • Avoid Falsehood in Transactions by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke

    Prof 3Wise people believe that life is ephemeral and that social desires may become a tantalizing mirage if we live by falsehood to acquire wealth.

    The Holy Bible admonishes us that we must not claim knowledge where ignorance prevails. For us to be able to know our limits, therefore, there is a need to seek for knowledge and clarification.

    Proverbs 30 : 4 submits that, “Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?”

    The Holy Quran, therefore, warned us that education and wisdom demand that we must not claim to know where knowledge is absent.

    The Holy Quran 6 : 93 emphasizes the consequence as been grievous.

    ‘’Who can be more wicked than one who invented a lie against Allah, or saith, I have received inspiration when he hath received none or again who saith, I can reveal the like of what Allah hath revealed ? If thou couldst but see how the wicked do fair in the agonies of death!-The angels stretch forth their hands saying yield up your souls : This day shall ye reward,-chastisement of disgrace for that ye used to tell lies against Allah and scornfully to reject of His signs !''

    Proverbs 30 : 5–6 further warns us to be vanguards of truth always, ‘’Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

    6Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.’’

    Falsehood 1

    In the same way the Holy Quran 2 : 42 admonishes with emphasis, ‘’And cover truth with falsehood, nor conceal the truth when ye know what it is ?’’

    What makes people tell lies most often is the affinity for materialism, most especially when due process is abridged for the sake of having undue maximum gains in business or material transaction.

    Proverbs 30 : 7–9 clarifies issues on this, ‘’Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:

    8Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:

    9Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.’’

    Why do wed neglect God and His charges to direct our affairs not to head for the precipice of life.

    The Holy Quran 13 : 26 refers, ‘’Allah doth enlartge, or grant by strict measure the sustenance which He giveth to whom He so pleaseth. The worldy rejoice in the life of this world : but the life of this world is of little comfort compared to the hereafter.’’

    To be an exemplar, all must endeavor to be vanguards of truth in all forms of transactions.

  • A Viable Condition by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke

    Prof 3Viable condition is necessary for successful restoration and preservation of cultural heritage on core values of integrity would have to depend solely on the understanding and practice of exemplary lifestyles based on values of integrity, otherwise, the system may suffer from unwarranted happenings.
    The viable condition of scripture compliance is sacrosanct, the right practice of every religion for ease of adapting and adopting the dictates of God to put up pious and exemplary lifestyles.
    A critical study of democracy to energize civil rule rests on the viable condition of justice, deterrence, and equity concept application to avoid the challenges of marginalization and agitations by the people over perceived injustice towards them.
    Where such viable conditions are absent there would be system disequilibrium through the heating up of the polity. A further study on the triangle of sustainable development x-rays environment, economy, and the people or society to thrive harmoniously.

    Viable 1
    The economy and other aspects of society must be viable to ensure streamlined development.
    Several nations depend on investments from local and international sources, but no investor will ever come to a conflict-ridden environment to invest. An environment characterized by insurgency,
     natural disasters, violent crimes, dictatorship, and the infringement of the fundamental human rights of the people would never be investment-friendly.
    In the final analysis, the viable condition is an index measure of capability where system functionality leads to the development that is sustainable without recourse to parasitic means.

  • FBI Warns of Holiday Scams Ahead of Holiday Season

                                                                                 Press Release

    The FBI Columbia Field Office is warning the public of common holiday scams ahead of the 2021 holiday season.

    With the holidays upon us and seasonal shopping in full gear, criminals are set to look for opportunities to take advantage of consumers. The FBI is encouraging shoppers to be vigilant for scams that are designed to steal their money and personal information.

    The two most prevalent holiday scams are non-delivery and non-payment crimes. The FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received more than 17,000 complaints of non-delivery goods, resulting in over $53 million in losses during the 2020 holiday season.

    “More than ever consumers are shopping online and using alternative payment methods, aside from cash,” said Susan Ferensic, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Columbia Field Office. “Criminals have adapted to the way we shop, and they work overtime to create elaborate schemes to steal from us.”

    Some of the common holiday scams the FBI warns of are:

    Online shopping scams – Scammers offer deals through phishing e-mails or advertisements.

    Social media scams – Scammers use social media sites that appear to offer vouchers or gift cards. These scams often lead consumers to complete online surveys designed to steal personal information.

    Smartphone app scams – Scammers design mobile apps disguised as free games that steal personal information.

    Work-from-home scams – Scammers use websites and social media posts that offer working from home. Convenience is the attention grabber, but there may be fraudulent intentions.

    Gift card scams – Victims receive a spoofed e-mail, call, or text asking them to purchase multiple gift cards for person or business reasons.

    Charity scams – Criminals set up false charities and profit from individuals who believe they are donating to legitimate organizations.

    If you believe you are victim of a scam, contact your financial institution immediately. You should also contact your local law enforcement agency. Finally, victims should file a complaint with IC3 by visiting www.IC3.gov

  • Govt is unable to Provide Potable Water for Nigerians-PRO AWDROP

    Water
    The failure of the government at all levels to provide potable water for  Nigerians has become a problem nationwide.
    This assertion was made by the National Public Relations Officer of the Association of Water Well Drilling Rig Owners and Practitioners(AWDROP),  Mr. Richard Adeyinka in a chat with Poverty Line.
    ''The problem is everywhere, taps are no longer running. The government at all levels has shown that they do not have the capacity to provide potable and affordable water for Nigerians. The provision of potable water today, revolves around who can afford to pay for it. Government is no longer able to carry out its responsibilities,'' Mr. Adeyinka noted.

  • 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.
