I need to study this act of God and the word Karma.

 I will be back later. 

I need to study this act of God and the word Karma. This is very strange and everyone has been talking about this saying God was not happy. I want to study the spiritual implication. 

Lynch and Chamberlain as you know just finished a high profile fraud trial and THEY WON. The next day Steve Chamberlain was jogging near his house and a car kpaied him in a non hit and run as he jogged straight into the car’s path. He had music buds in his ears. 2 days later Lynch his partner and codefendant, his daughter and 22 others went to chill on an $18M Yatch possibly to celebrate. It sank after a tornado 🌪️ hit it on the sea. 15 rescued including a pregnant woman 🤰 holding her one year old baby against the waves 🌊 to save her. 7 still missing including lynch and his daughter. The people they allegedly defrauded were planning to appeal and both defendants died within 2 days apart after the judgement. 

Was God not trying to let those ones appeal or God served the defendants Karma? It’s the gist in every tech forum in the UK.

I fear God O!!!

Truths About a Village.

 A peaceful village is a perfect embodiment of tranquility and harmony. It is a place where time seems to slow down, and stress and worries dissipate amidst the serene landscapes and close-knit community. A peaceful village brings forth a sense of solace and contentment, providing its residents with a refuge from the chaos and noise of the outside world.

One of the defining characteristics of a peaceful village is its natural beauty. Surrounded by lush greenery, rolling hills, and babbling brooks, the village becomes an oasis of calm and serenity. The air in such a village is pure and refreshing, untainted by the pollution that plagues cities. The residents can enjoy leisurely walks through picturesque streets, be accompanied by the pleasant sounds of chirping birds and rustling leaves. Nature in a peaceful village is not only a backdrop but an active participant in the daily lives of its inhabitants, instilling a deep connection and appreciation for the environment. Another element that contributes to the tranquility of a peaceful village is the absence of bustling traffic and noisy crowds. In contrast to the chaotic cities, villages are characterized by the gentle hum of life that revolves around its routine. Time seems to pass slowly, as people go about their daily activities without the hurriedness and restlessness synonymous with city life. This slow pace fosters a greater sense of mindfulness and allows the villagers to savor the simple pleasures of life. 

A close-knit community is vital for maintaining the peace and harmony of a village. The residents often know each other, creating strong bonds of friendship and trust. Neighbors look out for one another, willing to lend a helping hand or offer a sympathetic ear. In times of celebration, the community comes together to share joy and merriment, fostering a sense of belonging and cohesion. This unity helps resolve conflicts amicably and ensures that everyone feels heard and valued, promoting peace within the village.

Education is also an essential factor in maintaining peace within a village. Access to quality education ensures that the younger generation is equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed decisions and contribute positively to society. Schools in peaceful villages often focus not only on academic excellence but also on character development and fostering an appreciation for community values. This education instills a deep respect for diversity, tolerance, and empathy, thus minimizing conflicts and promoting peace in the long run.

The peacefulness of a village extends beyond its physical boundaries, contributing to the mental and emotional well-being of its residents. The absence of incessant noise, pollution, and stressors allows for a peaceful state of mind. This tranquility provides residents with a respite from the demands and pressures of modern life, encouraging a healthier work-life balance and promoting mental and emotional well-being.

In conclusion, a peaceful village is a haven of serenity and tranquility. It encompasses the beauty of nature, the slow pace of life, a close-knit community, and a focus on education and well-being. It offers its residents a respite from the chaos and stress of the outside world, fostering a sense of peace, contentment, and harmony. A peaceful village is not merely a physical location but a state of mind that promotes a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Suspected cybercriminals appeared to have compromised the domain address of Nigeria’s banking giant GTBank. Reporting.

 Suspected cybercriminals appeared to have compromised the domain address of Nigeria’s banking giant GTBank. 

Multiple attempts to log on to returned error signs as of 10:30pm on Wednesday. The incident came a day after the domain name was renewed for another five years from August 13, 2024, through March 21, 2029, according to multiple online platforms that analyse domain information. No collective of hackers has claimed responsibility for the vandalism, which appeared to have started on August 14. A spokesman for GTBank did not immediately return a request seeking comments. Already, the attackers appeared to have created another HTTP layer of the website in an apparent ploy to steal customers’ data through phishing. A cybersecurity expert with experience in the Nigerian banking industry said it was possible that the bank’s login details were compromised, as against the domain address itself being stolen for a resale at a more lucrative deal online.

We have arrested one of the major sponsors of #EndBadGovernance protests. Police reveals.

We’ve arrested one of the major sponsors of #EndBadGovernance protests” – Police reveals The Police have arrested one Bashir Hadejia, who reportedly confessed to sponsoring a large number of youths who participated in the just concluded #EndBadGovernance Protests in northern states. He also allegedly confessed to sponsoring the attack on Jigawa state APC headquarters, according to police sources. Hadejia was arrested by police operatives following intelligence reports on smuggling large catches of weapons along with large bars of gold believed to have been stolen from the Central Bank of Libya. He also allegedly specializes in money laundering and other transnational crimes and was over the weekend arrested for treason, subversive activities against the government, and other transnational crimes. Hadejia was also accused of being involved in aiding terrorism and other forms of criminality in some northern states along with his sponsors. The suspect was also found with incriminating documents of impersonation, including tracking documents of high-profile personalities and an international passport of the Republic of Vanuatu, which will expire on the 14th of September, 2030. During the investigation, a video showing the suspect displaying bars of gold carrying Gaddafi’s statue worth one tone believed to have been stolen from the Libyan Central Bank was also seen. The suspect is said to be opening up to name his alleged sponsors and other allies, including a former director of the Department of State Security Service, DSS.

Nigerian govt. freezes $37m worth of cryptocurrency traced to suspected protest organisers

The Nigerian government has frozen more than $37 million worth of cryptocurrency held in wallets believed to be owned by some organisers of #EndBadGovernance protests.

The freezing followed an order by the Federal High Court in Abuja. The judge, Emeka Nwite, gave the order in a ruling delivered on 9 July, a copy of the decision. 

Mr Nwite issued the order based on an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

In the ex parte application filed on 8 August and heard by the court on the following day, the EFCC described the assets as proceeds of money laundering and terrorism financing.

There was no objection to the application during the hearing, which was proceeded like an exchange of views between the judge and EFCC’s lawyer, O.S Ujam.

“That an order of this honourable court is hereby made freezing the wallet addresses/accounts stated in the schedule below, which wallets are owned by individuals currently being investigated for offences of money laundering and terrorism financing, pending the conclusion of the investigation,” 

Mr Nwite ruled shortly after listening to the EFCC’s lawyer. The wallet with the lion’s share of the assets has USDT37 million (USDT37,061,867,869.3) cryptocurrency, which equals the exact value in American US dollars.

Each of the three other wallets has USDT967, USDT90, and USDT443,512.37, respectively.

EFCC did not reveal the identities of the wallet owners in its application.

However, insiders briefed about the case informed our reporter that the federal government traced them to suspected organisers of the #EndBadGovernance protests.

The anti-government protests against rising costs of living, economic hardship faced by millions of Nigerians and general governance issues in Nigeria were held across many parts of the country from 1 to 10 August.

Security forces have launched a crackdown on persons linked to the protests, appearing not to make any distinction between genuine protesters and persons who allegedly perpetrated crimes under the guise of the protests.

Security forces reportedly killed more than 20 protesters during the demonstrations. In Abuja, security forces fired live ammunition at peaceful protesters and journalists identified by their vests. The police have quizzed a Daily Trust TV journalist in a bid to arrest one of the protest organisers who appeared on one of the platform’s programmes.

An affidavit filed in support of the application for the court order to freeze the cryptocurrency wallets said the assets “are owned by individuals currently being investigated for offences of money laundering and terrorism financing.” The affidavit was sworn to by an EFCC official, Jimada Yusuf.

Hearing

At the hearing of the application on 9 July, EFCC’s lawyer, Mr Ujam, urged the judge to order the freezing of the wallets “pending the conclusion of the investigation and prosecution.”

There was no adverse parties in court to opppose the application since it was an ex-parte hearing usually conducted without the opponents in attendance.

In cases where a legal process begins with an ex parte application, the adverse parties are not served until the court orders service of the outcome of the hearing and other filings.

After listeing to EFCC’s lawyer on 9 July, the judge, Mr Nwite, ordered, “That the applicant’s application dated and filed on 8th day of August 2024 is granted as prayed,”

Pattern of post-protest reaction

This is not the Nigerian government’s first time of taking such measures against protest organisers.

In 2020, during the #EndSARS protests, the government blocked accounts linked to the campaigners, claiming the funds might be connected to terrorist activities.

The Punch Newspaper reported that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) froze 20 accounts and sought a court order to help freeze the accounts for an extended period of 90 days.

The CBN argued that the nature of the transactions in the accounts suggested links to terrorism financing.

The judge of the Federal High Court in Abuja, Ahmed Mohammed (now a Justice of the Court of Appeal), granted the application to block the accounts of persons linked to the protest for more than 90 days.

However, the judge vacated the freezing order after the legal teams of both the CBN and the 20 defendants decided to end the case for three months.

Among the accounts frozen were those belonging to key figures in the #EndSARS movement, including Bolatito Oduala and Bassey Israel, who was said to be the medical coordinator for the protests in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
