When was the last time you saw picture of Miss Margret?

After spending a whole day trying to learn how to copy picture from IG without having to crop it, I was just perusing on updates when i stumble upon this picture. Then i said to myself 'Charles, the best way to test this your new craft of copy copy should be on pictures that come once in a decade!'  I learnt that the camera that took the first picture  crashed immediately it was shared...lol. Please i have the original  copy with me in case any of you will need it for citation... For the second picture, don't try to look a second time or i murder someone...lol I just hope she doesn't bombast me with her big oyibo or use an Athenian name to describe me in her class. Thank God i have graduated.
 For those who may not know her,  she is a lecturer at the department of Theatre and Film Studies (popularly known as The Crab), University of Port Harcourt (uniport). If you are in her class and you  don't have a good command of English and not a friend of the dictionary, them you will definitely make yourself not just a spectator, but also a specimen. Her  classes border around Dramatic Literature and criticism, feminism, women in theater etc

    Garba Shehu 
    I told you earlier of how the social media community went wide after it was revealed that our dear President Muhammadu Buhari has been copying speeches from other world leaders.READ here in case you missed out. The Presidency has finally reacted to that. The senior special assistant on media and publicity, through a series of tweets' says that it was "a mistake by overzealous staff" and that there is an ongoing investigation on the said matter
    read the tweets below

    2. ...delivered on September 8, 2016 at the launch of the ``Change Begins with Me’’ campaign.

    3. It was observed that the similarities between a paragraph in President Obama’s 2008 Victory Speech and what President Buhari read in..

    Garba Shehu@GarShehu 
    4. ...paragraph 9 of the 16 paragraph address while inaugurating the Campaign on Thurs., Sept.  8, are too close to be passed as coincidence

     
    Garba Shehu@GarShehu 
    5. There was a mistake by an overzealous staff and we regret that this has happened.

    6, Already, a Deputy Director in the Presidency has accepted responsibility for the insertion of the contentious paragraph.


PLAGIARISM:Buhari caught paraphrasing Obama's speech and other world leaders


For most of you who thinks copying is a crime. Please, thing no more!  because it has been made official by our dear President, Muhammadu Buhari. hehehehehe...! But on a more serious note. I think the internet has become one power element of social life that one can not do away with. Gone are those old days when leaders could do such silly mistakes in speeches with no one getting to know about it. These  days, you will be caught as soon as you land. So, in what appeared like  presidential copying, President Buhari has been caught on several occasions plagiarizing speeches from world leaders by signal. While many thought that his most popular quot at his May 29, 2015 inauguration was a true stamp of a President from a military background. But the truth is that he actually copied from President Charles de Gaulle ( picture above).  Though, that may sound little like an old news (for those who already know this) The latest in line of such plagiarism was  his recent speech at the  "Change Begins With Me" campaign  where he was caught paraphrasing Obama's 2008 speech with no atom of acknowledgement.

Four companies linked to Patience Jonathan's $15million plead guilty as group kick for her arrest

Patience Jonathan

Four companies involved in a money laundering case linked to former First Lady, Patience Jonathan, has pleaded guilty before Justice Babs Kuewumi of a Federal High Court in Lagos today Sept. 15th.

  The four companies whose names are Pluto Property and Investment Company Limited; Seagate Property Development and Investment Company Limited; Trans Ocean Property and Investment Company Limited; and Avalon Global Property Development Company Limited; all pleaded guilty to conspiring with former Special Adviser on Domestic Affairs to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Waripamo Dudafa, and two others to launder the sum of $15, 591,700.

The former First lady had written a letter to the EFCC, claimed ownership of the accounts owned by the four companies that are currently being investigated for fraud. 

 In the same vain, a group known as The Resource Centre for Human Rights and Civic Education (CHRICED) has urged  the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to invite a former first lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan for questioning over the unexplained $31.4million traced to her company accounts. This was in a statement by the Executive Director of the organisation Dr. Ibrahim Zikirullahi. The group Dr. Ibrahim said that it is worrisome that despite being indicted, Mrs. Jonathan is yet to be invited for questioning. According to him;


"Without prejudice to the right of the indicted person to seek redress through the judiciary, we call on the EFCC not to roll over and allow corruption have a field day. CHRICED is not unmindful of the fact that by her court action, the former first lady is merely trying to use the judiciary to stop the EFCC from arresting and investigating her.
"By now, the EFCC must have been used to the antics of people who have the albatross of their corrupt actions hanging around their necks, yet are quick to protest any legal step taken to bring them to justice. In the case of the former first lady, it would be dangerous for the anti-graft commission to give the impression that it is scared of taking on the big names who have been indicted," Zikirullahi said.
