Imagine you are on a holyday with your family or friends. You see something great and you know that a million regular photos has been snapped before, with that exact scene. How to spice things up for your virtual friends and make them hate you more? Of course, take a selfie. Hold right there!

Imagine you are on a holyday with your family or friends. You see something great and you know that a million regular photos has been snapped before, with that exact scene. How to spice things up for your virtual friends and make them hate you more? Of course, take a selfie. Hold right there!
Before you go even further with this idea, you should know that taking a selfie comes with incredible risks attached to it. Driving, flying, or doing any other activity that requires you to focus is from the start not compatible with taking a selfie. If animals are involved, chances are they will not like your idea. And the list goes on. We have chosen 17 innocent people who tragically died while trying to take a selfie in an attempt to raise awareness on the tragic phenomenon. People are dying before or after taking their beloved pics. Is it really worth it?
Taking a selfie has become a second nature for most people and even professional photographers are dropping the charges on this new form of artistic expression. However, with so many cases where things went wrong, some measures need to be taken. Tourist officials are beginning to create selfie free areas, where this dangerous sport is allowed. At the same time, insurance company let no one go on a trip without asking first “Are you going to take a selfie while enjoying your vacation?”.

With terrorist threats at each step of the way, taking selfies while on vacation might seem the safest thing in the world. This was not the case for a Japanese tourist on vacation in India.
As we all know, taking a selfie with a monument in the background requires not only a long enough selfie-stick, but also some delicate positioning. Trying to get the angle right fully absorbs some people, and it is much easier for them to ignore the risks.
What was supposed to be the perfect vacation photo to make your friends at home jealous ended up with a death certificate. We are curious what happens with social media profiles once the user is dead. Is there a Facebook heaven where you can add God as friend?

EFCC told me to lie against Goodluck Jonathan - GEJ former aide

- A Federal High Court in Lagos, has adjourned the EFCC's case against former aide to ex President Goodluck Jonathan, Warampo-Owei Dudafa

- Dr Waripamo-Owei Dudafa says the EFCC coerced him into implicating Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GEJ)

- The former aide to GEJ says the EFCC tormented him while in custody

- Dudafa says he developed a spine injury while in being held by the antigraft agency

A Federal High Court in Lagos on Tuesday, January 24, adjourned till February 13 for continuation of trial of a former aide to ex President Goodluck Jonathan, Warampo-Owei Dudafa, who is facing fraud charges.

Dudafa was charged alongside one Iwejuo Joseph Nna (alias Taiwo A. Ebenezer and Olugbenga Isaiah) before Justice Mohammed Idris on 23-counts of conspiracy and concealment of crime proceeds.

They are being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

EXPOSED! EFCC told me to lie against Goodluck Jonathan - GEJ former aide

The allegations against the accused border on conspiring to conceal proceeds of crime amounting to over N1.6billion on June 11, 2013.

They pleaded not guilty to all the counts.

At the resumption of hearing on Tuesday, EFCC’s lawyer, Mr Rotimi Oyedepo, continued with the cross-examination of Dudafa in a trial-within-trial.

A trial-within-trial is conducted in a case to determine the voluntariness of an accused’s statement.

In his response to one of the questions from the EFCC’s counsel, Dudafa claimed that he was never offered administrative bail by the EFCC, while in its custody for 60 days.

He said: “I did not know whether or not I was offered administrative bail on the 18th of May, 2016. There was no time I was released on bail by the commission throughout the 60 days I was in detention”.

However, the EFCC’s lawyer later sought the admission of a document allegedly signed by Dudafa when he was offered administrative bail by the agency. The document was admitted by the court as an exhibit.

Dudafa also maintained that he was never remanded in EFCC’s custody, pursuant to a magistrate court’s order.

Oyedepo had asked him if he will be surprised to know that the commission actually secured an order from a magistrate court to detain him.

Meanwhile, the proceedings were halted following an objection raised by Dudafa’s lawyer to the admissibility of the remand order as an exhibit.

After entertaining arguments by both parties, Justice Idris adjourned to Feb. 13 for ruling on the admissibility of the document and for continuation of the trial-within-trial.

In the charge, the accused were alleged to have concealed N1.6billion through a company, Seagate Property Development and Investment Ltd.

The offence is said to have contravened the provisions of Sections 18(a) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) (Amendment) Act, 2012.

They were also accused of knowingly concealing proceeds of crime through Avalon Global Property Development Company Ltd, in the sum of over N390 million, among others.

It was alleged that Dudafa, between June 1 and June 4 2015, procured Nna and Ebiwise Resources to conceal N150million being proceeds of crime.

Other companies allegedly used in laundering the money include Pluto Property And Investment Company Ltd, Rotato Inter Link Services Ltd and De Jakes Fast Food and Restaurant Nigeria Ltd.

In a similar vein, Dr Waripamo-Owei Dudafa, said he was “tormented” by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in a bid to get him to implicate the immediate past leader.

Dudafa said he developed a spinal cord ailment while in EFCC detention, adding that he was denied adequate medical treatment.

The former presidential aide said all the statements he wrote were dictated to him, and that he was induced to sign in exchange for his freedom.

The Nation reports that Dudafa was testifying in a trial-with-trial which began at the Federal High Court in Lagos after he claimed statements he made at EFCC were not voluntary.

EFCC arraigned him and Iwejuo Joseph Nna (alias Taiwo A. Ebenezer and Olugbenga Isaiah) before Justice Mohammed Idris on 23-count charge of conspiracy and concealment of crime proceeds.

They were accused of conspiring to conceal proceeds of crime amounting to over N1.6billion on June 11, 2013. They pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

Dudafa said he was arrested last April 17 on a Sunday and kept in detention till Monday evening without anybody explaining why he was arrested.

The ex-presidential aide said he was kept in detention until April 27 before he was taken to EFCC’s office on Awolowo Road for interrogation, where he made four statements, including an asset declaration form which he described as a “sham.”

Dudafa said he was denied access to his mobile phone from April 27, and his family was stopped from bringing food to him.

The aide to former president Goodluck Jonathan, alleged that the EFCC is mounting pressure on him to incriminate the former first lady, Patience Jonathan, over alleged money laundering.

Waripamo-Owei Dudafa, who is facing corruption trial by the anti-graft agency made the accusation in a petition to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) claiming he was being deliberately punished by the commission because of his loyalty to the former president and his family, Premium Times reports.

BREAKING! MURIC orders the arrest of Apostle Suleiman

Following his unguarded rant over herdsmen, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), has lashed out at the Senior Pastor of the Omega Fire Ministries, OFM, Apostle Johnson Suleiman.

BREAKING! MURIC orders the arrest of Apostle Suleman

MURIC says the clergy is out to make the “country unsafe for law abiding Muslims and Fulanis.”

Recall that Suleiman has been in the news lately after he asked his members to kill any Fulani herdsmen seen around him and his church.

In the early hours of this morning, the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose had foiled an attempt by operatives of the Department of States Services, DSS, to arrest the clergy man in Ado-Ekiti.

But MURIC, in a statement by its Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, condemned the hate speech by Sulieman, urging security agencies to do the needful.

Describing Suleiman’s speech as “provocative, irresponsible and unpatriotic,” MURIC urged Nigerians not to allow “some misguided spiritual leaders who have hidden agenda to becloud their sense of assessment.”

The statement sent to Daily Post, on Wednesday reads: “The founder of Omega Fire Ministries, Johnson Suleman, recently instructed members of his church to kill Fulanis. An attempt by operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS) to arrest him in Ado Ekiti yesterday was foiled by Governor Ayodele Fayose.

“The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) strongly condemns Pastor Johnson Suleman’s vituperations. It is provocative, irresponsible and unpatriotic. In the same vein, we are nonplussed by Governor Fayose’s penchant for preventing security agents from performing their lawful duties. By shielding such a high profile suspect, Fayose has manifested blatant disregard for the rule of law, encouraged lawlessness and exhibited executive brigandage.

“Pastor Johnson Suleman wants to make the country unsafe for Muslims and law abiding Fulanis. It is not in our character to issue threats. We are mature enough to control our emotions. Yet it is not out of cowardice that we prefer to tow the path of peaceful coexistence. Muslims have never been known to fear death or to compromise their faith. But we do not want to join issues with belligerent people who are always bullying Muslims and Fulanis by telling lies and issuing threats. Neither do we want to heat up the polity.

“What will ordinary Muslims do when we exchange banters with firebrand Christian extremists like Johnson? Why should religious leaders speak as if they have stocked heaps of weapons in hiding? Why should spiritual guides incite their followers to kill and maim? What do religious leaders gain from goading their followers to shed blood?

“The victims are usually the poor masses who are hypnotized by the rhetoric and mesmerized by the oratorical skills of their fanatical leaders. This is why leaders must weigh every word they utter. Leaders are models. They must live by example and teach their followers to learn how to love, to tolerate, to forgive and to peacefully coexist.

“MURIC charges Nigerians to objectively and critically examine the Fulani herdsmen phenomenon. They should not allow some misguided spiritual leaders who have hidden agenda to becloud their sense of assessment. Fulanis have been coming to Nigeria before the 1914 amalgamation. Their nomadic and pastoral flow has never waned since the first Fulanis came from Futa Toro in Senegal in the 11th century. We should therefore not be surprised that the criminal elements among the herdsmen are not even Nigerians. They are Senegalese and Malians.

“It is therefore unwise of us as Nigerians to allow a few lawless foreigners to cause religious or ethnic war in our land. Let us separate criminals from their tribe or religion. We should resist the temptation to stigmatise Fulanis or Muslims because a few herdsmen take the law into their hands. For the avoidance of doubts, we denounce the criminal activities of these herdsmen but we should mind where we point accusing fingers.

“Are Nigerians unaware that the same Fulani herdsmen have are also been attacking and killing Muslims in Zamfara, Niger, Kano, Bauchi and other Northern states? Why have we been ignoring this angle if we are sincere? Has the status of a herdsman changed when he attacks a Northern farmer or a Muslim and steals his cattle? Let us be objective. Let us stop criminalizing Fulanis and demonizing Muslims. It is the height of hypocrisy and absolute lack of patriotism to give the criminal activities a religious or ethnic colouration.

“We therefore call on the Nigerian security agencies to do the needful. Nobody is above the law. Fayose or no Fayose, Pastor Johnson Suleman must still be questioned and cautioned for his vituperations and provocative statements. He cannot remain tied to Fayose’s apron string forever.”

Condemning Fayose’s action, the organisation said, “Even Fayose should be told point blank that his days as a free man are numbered. He must answer for his executive rascality and lawlessness. No governor in the history of Nigeria has abused his office like Fayose has done. His cup of executive recklessness has been filled to the brim. The people of Ekiti State have indeed entered a ‘one chance’ bus. Or what do we say about a state governor who is seldom sober? We do not need a micro-biologist to tell us whether or not Fayose has the ‘area boy’ syndrome virus.

“We charge the Nigerian security agencies to spare no effort in dealing decisively with the notorious herdsmen who have brought untold hardship to Nigerian farmers. The full wrath of the law must be unleashed on them for killing innocent farmers and destroying their farms. We appeal to Muslims to go about their lawful duties and to remain calm and law abiding. We invite religious leaders to douse tension in their areas of influence in order to allow peace to reign.

“As we round up, we remind the United Nations Organisation, the European Union and the African Union to take note of the hate speeches emanating from Nigeria and their authors for the day when the come will come to become.”
