Latest Facebook Privacy Policy Hoax

No comments :
In recent weeks, you may have seen a Facebook "privacy notice" creep into your Facebook timeline. It probably looks like this: 

"As of July 3, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern standard time, I do not give Facebook or any entities associated with Facebook permission to use my pictures, information, or posts, both past and future. By this statement I give notice to Facebook it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute or take any other action against me based on this profile is private and confidential information. The violation of privacy can be punished by law (UCC 1-308-11 308-103 and Rome statute). NOTE: Facebook is now a public entity. All members must post a note like this. If you prefer, you can copy and paste this version. If you do not publish this statement at least once it will be tactically allowing the use of your photos, as well as information contained in the profile status updates. DO NOT SHARE you MUST copy and paste to make this I will leave a comment so it will be easier to copy and paste!!!" 

Because it urges people to copy and paste it into their own statuses, the message is proliferating on people's Facebook news feeds. And it's not the first time this has happened. 

As the Washington Post's Caitlin Dewey points out, variations on this privacy screed have made the rounds on Facebook since 2012 . But it's pointless to pass it around. 

Facebook isn't interested in owning anything you post. Everything you post on Facebook - status updates, pictures, videos, bogus Facebook "privacy notices" - is yours. "Anyone who uses Facebook owns and controls the content and information they post, as stated in our terms. 

They control how that content and information is shared. That is our policy, and it always has been," Facebook said in a 2012 post , addressing what it called a "Copyright Meme Spreading On Facebook." 

You're also not preventing Facebook from "violating your privacy" when you just re-post a chain message. When you first signed up to use Facebook, you agreed to the company's Terms of Service, which include its privacy policy. 

And while Facebook at times updates its Terms of Service, your agreement to those updated terms is implicit. 

You also agreed to give Facebook 

"a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-license, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook." According to the company's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities . 

This means Facebook can use anything you post on the website to promote itself. The "privacy notice" you might see getting passed around on Facebook is useless, a hoax. 

If you don't agree with Facebook's policies, though, you have a few options besides re-posting a copy-and-pasted "privacy notice."  you can: 

  • Not sign up for a Facebook account in the first place. 
  • Negotiate a modified privacy policy with Facebook (good luck with that). 
  • Ask Facebook to amend its policies. 
  • Delete your facebook account.

10 Things You Probably Don't Know About Mother's Day!

No comments :
  1. MOTHER'S DAY FOR PEACE: Social activist Julia Ward Howe first brought the idea of a day centering on mothers to the United States after the Civil War, but Howe's version was much different from the flowers-and-hugs version we know today. Howe wrote the Mother's Day Proclamation and envisioned a Mother's Day for Peace, in which women would protest against war. Some groups still observe the holiday in this manner, one of the most famous being a huge crowd of women who gathered outside the Lawrence Livermore Library at the University of California in 1982 to protest nuclear weapons. 
  2. FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS: The Mother's Day we celebrate today was started by Anna Jarvis in the early 1900s. Jarvis got Congress to recognize the holiday, founded the Mother's Day International Association and even trademarked the phrase "Mother's Day." Jarvis was inspired by her own mother, who had called for "Mothers Work Days" to improve conditions for soldiers on both sides during the Civil War. 
  3. MYTHS AND MYSTERIES: Ancient myths alluded Greeks and Romans celebrated Mother's Day by honoring Goddess Cybele, personifying Great Mother Earth and Goddess of fertility, and Rhea, mother of the Gods. 
  4. TOO COMMERCIALIZED: Less than a decade after she fought so hard to make it happen, Anna Jarvis ended up despising the holiday she helped popularize. She spoke out vehemently over the commercialization of Mother's Day, called for its demise and was arrested during one of her protests in 1948. 
  5. MOTHER'S DAY AROUND THE WORLD: Mother's Day is the third most popular holiday in the world, second to only Christmas and Easter. Other countries celebrate their own versions of Mother's Day. The UK has Mothering Sunday, which dates back to the 16th century and is observed on the fourth Sunday after Lent; Japan has its celebration of the Empress Kojun's birthday, which has become just as commercialized as the American Mother's Day; and Spain and Portugal celebrate on December 8 by honoring both the Virgin Mary and their own moms. 
  6. FLOWER POWER: Florists might hawk huge Mother's Day bouquets with exotic blooms and designer names, but the traditional gift is a single, simple carnation. A research study decoded why moms love getting flowers so much. The study, conducted by Nancy Etcoff, Ph.D., of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, concluded that flowers affect human behavior, making people feel more compassionate toward others and happier in general when fresh-cut blooms are around. 
  7. MILLIONS OF MOMS: Mother's Day press release from the U.S. Census Bureau stated that there were about 85.4 million mothers in the United States (taken from a 2009 tally). 
  8. "HI MOM": As of 2006, Mother's Day sees more phone calls on than any other Sunday of the year, says Pew Research Center.  
  9. MONEY TALKS: In 2015, the National Retail Federation reported that $21.2 billion was spent on Mother's Day gifts that year. Nearly 80 percent of those who honored the holiday bought a card. Almost 70 percent purchased flowers, and 34 percent opted for jewelry. How much jewelry? Jewelry spending hit 4.3 billion in 2015. 
  10. FULL TIME JOB: The job of a mother is never done. It's a 24/7 commitment. According to the 2015 Insure.com Mother's Day Index, if you put monetary value on the many things Mom handles in the household, her market value would be an impressive $65,284. You rock, moms!

Alhaji Balarabe Musa Blasts President Buhari.

No comments :
Speaking to National Daily in an interview recently, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, The first civilian governor of Kaduna State has critised President Muhammadu Buhari over his handling of affairs in Nigeria since he took over.
Read the interview below:

The general elections have come and gone, what is your perception of the current state of the nation?

Well, first and foremost, it has been mixed feelings since after the elections. Yes, it was good we had the elections otherwise the story would have been different. Nigeria would have been in a terrible situation if the elections did not hold. What saved us was President Goodluck Jonathan who conceded defeat and congratulated Buhari, the winner. But then, the rest of the issues which is the state of the nation are still negative in all respects.

Nothing has changed; things still remained the same in this country. The 2015 election does not have any promise to Nigerians. If you are one of those Nigerians that rely on wishful thinking, you can say the election has some promises for you but I don’t think so. Take for example the inaugural statement of President Muhammadu Buhari, he said he has not promised to do anything.

His speech was too ritualistic, the same words we have been hearing from past leaders, be it civilian or military. His statement was not qualitative enough to convince Nigerians that something different has come. He said in his speech “I will improve on education,” So what? Past leaders have told us that before but did they improve the education in the country? The question is how are you going to improve on education? Nigerians need specific road map and targets; I mean qualitative targets like declaring that education from primary to tertiary level is now free not a blanket speech that holds nothing for anybody. I very much doubt it.

Your wish for this country has always been free, fair and credible elections, how will you describe the 2015 general elections?
This is the ridiculous thing that happened and that is why I remain critical. The 2015 elections were actually peaceful if you compare it with other elections yet we recorded deaths and other social disorders. Nigerians expected worst things than what happened in the 2011 general elections but it didn’t happen because nobody cared about the elections. Only very few Nigerians cared and participated.

Out of 70 million registered voters, only 28 million cared to go and vote; and out of the 28 million only 15 million voted for the President; 55 million never cared to go and vote. The level of apathy was very high. It shows that the people did not even care for the elections. Informed Nigerians, especially the media, didn’t take that into account in assessing the real situation but that was what happened.

How do you claim free, fair and transparent elections in a situation when out of 70 million registered voters only 15 million actually voted for the President, yet, you claim this is free, fair and transparent election? There was also the deciding role of money power that took place during the elections. It was money power that decided who won the elections.

If you said money played a major role, one would have expected the incumbent to be at an advantage as a sitting President. How did it happen?

Both parties displayed money power during the elections. Both PDP and APC used unimaginable sum of money during the elections. I stand to be corrected; it may interest you that APC used more money than PDP. It was their money that decided the winner. The only thing, I believe and I know it has been proven to be so, is that PDP for strategic reasons decided to withdraw from power and let APC take over and grapple with the problems in the country because PDP has failed woefully to tackle the problems.

One of the reasons they decided to let go power was because they know that if PDP had won the elections, Nigeria’s situation today would have been different. That was why instead of venturing into the looming danger, PDP preferred to wait and fight another day. They are already talking of returning in 2019.

When taken into account, the fundamental reality, APC did not really defeat PDP in the 2015 elections. PDP tactically withdrew and merely allowed APC to take over. PDP knows that if they had returned, there would have been massive violence in all the northern states.

Remember what happened in the North during the campaign for 2011 elections. The media is not really educating the people on the true situation of things. Remember the incidents after the 2011 Presidential elections, particularly, in the North West, North East and some parts of North Central, PDP leaders were attacked openly and their property destroyed in large scale.

There was an inquiry by the Federal Government and at the end, PDP leaders throughout the North were compensated heavily by the Federal Government after those who were involved in the anarchy were arrested and investigated. The Federal Government knew who were responsible in organizing that 2011 post-Presidential election violence but nothing happened to those that were arrested, instead they were paid heavy compensation by the PDP government.

PDP government couldn’t take any action against the organizers of that violence because they were preparing to hand over power in 2015. They knew that and some of us knew it too.

Before the 2015 elections, it was reported that the group you led split over who to support, Jonathan or Buhari, how did you manage that?

No, there was no split. We had National Executive Committee meeting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, and decided through voting. 26 states voted in favour of the PDP at the Presidency while other voted for APC for the presidency. We also agreed that states’ leaders should decide on whom they will support in their respective states.

Now that Buhari is in charge, do you think he can solve the problems of this country?
No! I don’t think so. No single person can do it in Nigeria without a revolution. It is not just Buhari but anybody. Even I cannot handle the situation without a revolution. When I say a revolution I mean fundamental change. For instance, you have to change the social, economic and political systems controlling all developments in this country and the leadership produced by the system.

From one base to another, self-interest first; to one base on public interest first. You have to bring about that change. You have to change the economic system. In the system now, public interest has been relegated to third. To change it effectively, we have to bring the leadership of the state in the economy to ensure peace, equality, justice and dignity of the human person and progressing even development in the whole country. Is Buhari prepared for that? Can you effect such change without a revolution? We have a situation where the rich and powerful that are so mindless, selfish and so entrenched that they will oppose everything to bring about this leadership of the state in the economy.

Take for instance, the present controversy at the National Assembly where members are demanding wardrobe allowance amounting to N9 billion. Wardrobe allowance means clothing allowance for each senator will have over N21 million while House of Representatives will have over N17 million. When you have leaders like this, produced by a system based on self-interest, how can you change the reality without a revolution because those who are enriching themselves will resist any change and it can be violent. The change we want must be revolutionary in nature. So, the way it is now, Buhari has no answer to Nigeria’s problems.

APC promised Nigerians that they have come to fight and eradicate corruption. Do you think APC can achieve this?

How can you fight corruption with corrupt leadership? It is not possible. You cannot do it because you are also corrupt. They are not free from being corrupt. About 80 per cent of APC and PDP leaders are all before the three anti-corruption agencies, ICPC, EFCC and Code of Conduct. So, you can see that they cannot fight corruption because they are corrupt.
Are you saying that the present APC leadership is corrupt?

Was PDP leadership corrupt? The answer is yes, it was; and 70 to 80 per cent of the APC leadership now came from the PDP. Invariably, what we have today is not APC but PDP one (1) and PDP two (2). Now, APC has the majority in the Senate yet they couldn’t elect APC Senate President without the support of PDP. So, it is clear that they have now started working together.

The APC which defeated PDP yesterday is today working with the PDP and rely on PDP to perform, what do you expect. Nothing will change without a fundamental change and a fundamental change in this case means revolution, I hope when it comes, it will be peaceful.
With this outrageous demand of wardrobe allowance, Nigerians can organise themselves in such a way that National Assembly after they have passed the law or at the process of passing the law, Nigerians can act within their constitutional right to remove such bad government.

Many people don’t know how this mindless corrupt system came to be in Nigeria. After the election in 1979, that is the Second Republic, members of the National Assembly led by Joseph Wayas, who was the Senate President then, demanded the right to fix their own remunerations. Shehu Shagari, who was the President then, saw the danger in it and he told them that he was against it but the senators insisted.

So, when we had the National Economic Council meeting which was made up of state governors, vice president etc., after the meeting, President Shagari came to us and said he needed our help. He told us that he called for a dinner and the senators refused to attend because they were angry with him because he refused to allow them to fix their remuneration. So, that is why he needed our help and we told him that we have no alternative but to help him because if he allows them at the federal level, members of the state House of Assembly will do same to us.

In spite of the sharp difference between the parties, especially the NPN and the UPN, we came together for our own common interest to support the President. A committee of governors was formed to advise the President. At the end, we recommended maximum remuneration for all public officers both politicians and civil servants. We submitted our recommendations to the President which he presented at a press conference but that did not go down well with the National Assembly members as they came up with war against the President and the governors. They threatened to remove the President.

They were callous and vicious. At the end, President Shagari allowed them to decide their own remuneration and that was what opened the floodgate of corruption in Nigeria today.
I don’t know whether Buhari was aware of this history because he was not a politician but he needs to be aware of this as a leader. Now, is he going to allow himself to suffer the consequences Shagari suffered as a result of failure to contain the greed of the members of the National Assembly? We are not just talking the holistic of their remuneration which is up to 10 items but we are only talking about one item.

Now, should Buhari allow it after knowing that the root of the NPN problem where he could not perform was because he could not restrain the National Assembly from demanding and getting what they wanted?

Barely one month now, President Buhari has not been able to form the Federal Executive Council, what do you think is responsible to this?

Nobody can be comfortable with the level of arrangement so far, particularly, when I can see the kind of coordination in a negative sense between the center and the state, just as the president could not constitute his federal executive council, so also the states have not. That means there is a conspiracy otherwise it will not happen like this. It is disappointing, particularly, at the federal level. Buhari is not new in this position.

He was military Head of State. Before even being sworn in, he should have known who to appoint as ministers and also announced them within two days after inauguration but this has not happened. Why it has not happened I don’t know but I pray it is not the beginning of incompetence.

What is the implication of the delay in executive appointments?

The danger in this is that forei
gn countries will not do business with him, knowing that he has no team. Then, those that decide to deal with him will be taking risk and they know it. Secondly, the country will be doubting its direction because even in Nigeria, businessmen will be interested in the ministers they are going to be dealing with but they don’t know. The delay has shown that something is wrong with the leadership.



The revered politician had earlier predicted that the mass defection of members of the PDP to the APC may end up turning Nigeria into a one party state.

Bokoharam And ISIS: A Partnership That Will Hurt Nigeria.

No comments :
The Islamic State group has welcomed a pledge of allegiance to it made by the Nigerian terrorist organisation Boko Haram, according to an audiotape Thursday purportedly from its spokesman.
“We announce to you to the good news of the expansion of the caliphate to West Africa because the caliph… has accepted the allegiance of our brothers of the Sunni group for preaching and the jihad,” IS spokesman Mohammed al-Adnani said in the message, using the AArabic name for Boko Haram.

Itself a radical Sunni Muslim movement, IS has seized large swathes of Iraq and Syria and declared an Islamic “caliphate” there, and has also drawn expressions of allegiance from jihadists in Egypt and Libya.

On Saturday, an audiotape attributed to Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said “we announce our allegiance to the Caliph of the Muslims, Ibrahim ibn Awad ibn Ibrahim al-Husseini al-Qurashi,” referring to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Shekau has previously mentioned Baghdadi in video messages yet stopped short of pledging formal allegiance.

But there have been increasing signs that the Nigerian militants, whose six-year insurgency has claimed more than 13,000 lives and left 1.5 million people homeless, have been seeking a closer tie-up.

IS spokesman Adnani urged Muslims to join militants in West Africa and insisted that the caliphate was growing.

“Our caliphate is resisting and it is advancing in the right direction. We are fighting the Crusaders and the rafidah (Shiites) and day by day the Islamic State is becoming strong,” he said.

He insisted that the jihadist group is “sure of its victory” regardless of the challenges it is facing.

For months, IS has been targeted with air strikes from a coalition led by the United States and suffered territorial setbacks in Syria and Iraq.

And Iraqi government forces have closed on the city of Tikrit this week in a bid to retake it from the group.

Ghana Tops In Waec International Examination

No comments :
Ghana has for the past five years toped the West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) Competition for the international excellence award, WAEC announced on Thursday. For the year 2014, all three Ghanaian candidates who participated in the award with other WAEC students, swept all the three top awards offered at that level once again.

The overall top candidate, Hasan Mickail, a former student of Ghana Secondary Technical School (GSTS) in the Western Region, who was the best candidate in the General Science programme, both at the national and international level, also won the Bandele Award for the best performing candidate in the whole of West Africa.

Ghana, Nigeria, and the Gambia participated in the 2014 WAEC examination, while Liberia and Sierra Leone, the two other WAEC countries, did not participate in the examinations due to the Ebola pandemic and a change in those countries educational system.

The Very Reverend Samuel Nmai Ollennu, the Head of National Office, WAEC, who announced this at this year’s WAEC Distinction Awards ceremony organized to honour candidates, who excelled in the May/June 2014 edition of the West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) said Ghana, since the period of the SSCE and when the WASSCE was introduced has been topping in the international exams.

He said for the past four years, Ghanaian WASSCE students have continuously topped in the international Exams.

Rev Ollennu explained that for a candidate to win such awards, he or she must obtain a minimum of eight grade A1s.

Candidates, who qualified for the awards, competed at two levels, consisting of the national (home country) and international (West Africa) levels with other WAEC candidates.

At the award ceremony held in Accra, the overall top winner, Mickail and four other awardees were given various sums of money, certificates, and laptops, whilst their former schools were given plagues.

Mickail was offered a full scholarship by the Universal Merchant Bank Ghana Limited to undertake a tertiary education in any university in Ghana, while the WAEC Endowment Fund, the main sponsor of the Distinction awards gave him the cedi equivalent of 300 dollars, and the Ghana National office of WAEC gave him 700 dollars, cedi equivalent.

Other award winners were Mr Kenyah Blaykyi, formerly of St Augustine’s College, who took the second position, received the cedi equivalent of 200 dollars and 300 dollars from the WAEC Fund and the Ghana National office, WAEC, respectively. FirstBanc Ghana, a financial institution is also giving Mr Blaykyi GHC 2,000 as part of the package.

Henry Enninful Archibald, a former student of Mfantsipim School, won the third position and was rewarded with 200 dollars and 300 dollars from the Fund and the Ghana National Office respectively. The Enterprise Insurance Limited also gave GHC 1,000 to Mr Archibald.

Mr Elvis Okoh-Asirifi , formerly of Opoku Ware SHS in the Ashanti Region, and Ms Deborah Akosua Atuabea Attuah, a former student of Wesley Girls High School in Cape Coast, won the best candidate in business and General Arts Programmes respectively. They all received the cedi equivalent of 400 dollars each and certificates.

Rev Ollennu said by giving the awards, WAEC believed that it would be an incentive to spur the students on to work harder in future examinations and in other future endeavours.

Dr Iyi Uwadiae, the Registrar at the WAEC Council commended Ghana for the consistency in winning the awards over the past years, assuring that, in spite of the few examination malpractices, WAEC exams were “still valid and very reliable”.

Mr Enoch Cobbinah, the Chief Director of the Ministry of Education, who represented the Deputy Minister of Education, Mr Alex Kyeremeh, said the outstanding performances by the students indicated that “Ghana’s educational system is the best in the West Africa region so no one should think that our educational system is in shambles”.

ISIL Releases Video Showing The Beheading Of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians kidnapped In Libya.

No comments :
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has released a video purporting to show the killing of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians kidnapped in Libya.

The footage released on Sunday appeared to show the Egyptian workers, all wearing orange jump suits, being beheaded near a waterfront.

At least 20 Egyptian workers were seized earlier this year from the coastal town of Sirte in eastern Libya.

The video, titled "A message signed with blood to the nation of the cross", says the killings were directed at "the hostile Egyptian Church".

Speaking in English, a fighter from the group says the beheadings were revenge for "Muslim women persecuted by Coptic crusaders in Egypt". READ MORE, AND WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.

US Secretary Of State, John Kerry Arrives In Nigeria For Talks With President About Bokoharam And The Up Coming Election.

No comments :
Armed group also attacks northern town of Monguno, as US secretary of state arrives in country for talks with president.

Boko Haram has launched a major offensive in Nigeria's northeastern city of Maiduguri and the town of Monguno, engaging in fierce battles with the military.

Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege, reporting from Abuja, the capital, said the army was claiming some success in its attempts on Sunday to stop the fall of Maidiguri, the largest city in Borno State, but local sources said that fighting was ongoing in some areas.

A member of the civilian joint-task-force (JTF), a vigilante group fighting Boko Haram, said at least 20 soldiers and 10 civilians had been killed in clashes in Maiduguri.

"There was also celebration and jubilation among some members of the military in certain areas where they have been able to repel attacks by the [Boko Haram] group," Ndgege said.

Locals told the AFP news agency that Boko Haram fighters first attacked the Jintilo settlement, about 5km from Maiduguri, at around 04:00 GMT.

"Troops are repelling a simultaneous attack on Monguno and Maiduguri by terrorists," Nigeria's defence headquarters said on Twitter. It said a land and air operation against the group was ongoing.

Kerry arrives in Lagos 

The fighting erupted as John Kerry, the US secretary of state, arrived in the country on Sunday and met with President Goodluck Jonathan and his chief rival candidate, former general Muhammadu Buhari, ahead of next month's presidential election.

"It is absolutely critical that this election can be conducted peacefully. The international community is paying very close attention to this election," Kerry said in Lagos.

Military sources told Al Jazeera that collaborators in the Nigerian army were most probably helping Boko Haram. They said that many of the group's weapons were coming from the army and not from al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, which has a strong presence in neighbouring countries Chad, Niger, Mali and Mauritania.

Fears have been growing for months about a possible strike on Maiduguri after the group began seizing towns and villages in three northeastern states about six months ago. On January 3, they captured the fishing hub of Baga, in the far north of Borno State, which security analysts said put them in a better position to strike south Maiduguri, the state capital.

Maiduguri would be a major prize for the group, which is trying to carve out an Islamic state in the region. The group control large parts of Borno State and some areas of neighbouring Adamawa and Yobe states.
