LET ME INTRODUCE TO YOU "THE NEXT EFCC CHAIRMAN: BUHARI IS CHILD'S PLAY COMPARED TO THIS MAN

Ok I promised to do this from the previous post .  Here is all you need to know about the incoming EFCC Chairman.
Colonel Hamid Ibrahim Alli is a brave Bauchi Prince. He was a military governor of Kaduna state and a diehard IBB boy who is reputed to have made the statement "I can follow IBB to war blindfolded" to show how much he believed in IBB as a general.
But that didn't stop him from looking IBB in the face and telling him he was wrong on the case of the annulment of June 12 1993 elections.
He lost his commission because he refused to support the annulment of the June 12 election and Abacha's takeover of government instead of handing over to MKO. Despite his famous dislike for MKO, whom he saw as an arrogant man, he insisted justice and fairplay must be done. He demanded MKO be sworn in even if he was a devil.

Rumour has it that he would have been killed if not because he was a blue blood.He left the Army and government unceremoniously, a simple man without money or scandal. According to reports, he is into poultry farming and still drives a 504 Peugeot. Colonel Hamid Ibrahim Ali is currently undergoing SSS screening in preparation for his appointment.

Immediately there were feelers that he will emerge the next EFCC Chairman, corrupt politicians have been on panic mode. Some have started refunding stolen funds.  Yipppee !!!! You got this here first

Tarahtalks-  ( Lol you go soon hear say some past pffice holders from the outgoing administration will be declared missing they will kidnap themselves lol.. But I know  the wand of Justice will fetch them )

Muslims in Nigeria might have observed ramadan in vain..

Muslims in Nigeira might have observed ramadan in vain as the Sultan’s Palace admits moon wasn’t sighted before Sokoto monarch called off Ramadan in Nigeria

The committee carried out its assignment between 6:45PM and 7:45PM on Sunday.

The palace of Sultan Sa’ad Abubakar has now admitted that the Sultan made a mistake by announcing the end of Ramadan based on claims by some Nigerian Muslims that they sighted the new moon of Shawwal on Saturday night.

The result of the joint moonsighting exercise undertaken by the Sultanate Moon Sighting Committee and the Nigerian National Moonsighting Committee on Sunday clearly showed that the monarch erred in the pronouncement he made on Saturday prematurely terminating the Ramadan fast in Nigeria.

The Sultan, who is also the President of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs [NSCIA], commissioned the joint moonsighting investigation after his Saturday call triggered controversy, with some of the nation’s foremost clerics as well as the Secretary General of the NSCIA, Is-haq Oloyede, openly questioning his judgment.

The result of the investigation, also endorsed by the Sultan’s representatives, was unambiguous: The claim that the moon was sighted on Saturday was questionable as it was impossible for anyone to see the moon anywhere in the world at that time.

The committee carried out its assignment between 6:45PM and 7:45PM on Sunday.

The report of the joint committee, compiled by Usman Mahmud, a research officer with the National Moon Sighting Committee, reads in part:

“I write to inform you that we (the National Moon Sighting Committee) and the Sultanate Moon Sighting Committee went to the Sighting of Moon today (Sunday, July 27, 2014).“

The moon was not sighted with naked eye or with telescope and binocular. However, we used some programmes and software applications like Skymap, Stellarium and Virtual Moon to get the details of the moon.

“The details of the Moon are: Age: 19H (hour) 05M(minutes); Hour Angle/DE:04H 45M 11S(seconds)/ +12 21’11′; Distance between sun and moon: 3.5′.”

Experts say the result of the investigation suggested that the Sultan erred by declaring the end of Ramadan and beginning of Shawwal even when a new moon had not been born.

“It was a big error,” said Sheikh Abdulrazaq Ishola, a member of the Moonsighting Committee Worldwide, who himself was at the AlBayrouny Observatory in Mecca that Saturday in search of the moon. “

The (Sultan’s) announcement embarrassed Nigeria all over the world because in no other place was such ridiculous claim of sighting the moon on Saturday made.

“How can anyone claim that he saw the moon even when conjunction of the moon and the sun had just taken place? That is impossible. In any case, where should we ask people to find a moon that had not been born?”

Mr. Ishola explained that after conjunction takes place, (which he said occurred at 11:47 PM on Saturday), it usually takes about 17 hours for the moon to be sighted with a telescope and between 18 and 23 hours to be visible to the naked eye.

“What happened in Nigeria is disrespect to Islam and Muslims,” the cleric, who is also a a member of the Abu Dhabi-based Islamic Crescent Observatory Project, said. “We are in the 21st century, yet we are still living in the past in Nigeria.”

Sultan Abubakar had around midnight on Saturday announced the sighting of the new moon and therefore the end of Ramadan, making Nigeria the only country in the world which celebrated Eid on Sunday.

“The new month of Shawwal was sighted in different places within Nigeria and therefore tomorrow (Sunday) is the first day of Shawwal equivalent to 27 July 2014,” the Sultan said in an announcement aired on the Nigerian Television Authority [NTA].

But when contacted after the Sultan’s announcement, the Secretary-General of the organisation, Is-haq Oloyede, a professor of Islamic Studies, told PREMIUM TIMES he was not aware the moon had been sighted.

“I spoke to the Sultan about four times tonight (Saturday) and he did not tell me that the moon has been sighted,” Mr. Oloyede told PREMIUM TIMES. “In any case, any such claim is ridiculous and unscientific. It cannot be right.

“The National Moon-Sighting Committee has not informed us of any credible sighting of the moon. Rather, they said the moon wasn’t sighted. The new moon was only born at 11:45 P.M. tonight (Saturday) and it will take several hours for it to be sighted.

“Is our own sky different? Is our own moon manufactured in Nigeria?” he said.

Mr. Oloyede’s comment sparked controversy in Nigeria. While some Muslim faithful broke their fast following the Sultan’s announcement, others (especially in the South-West region) proceeded to fast on Sunday and only celebrated Eid-El-Fitri on Monday.

"Culled from premium news"

Tarahtalks: I wonder whats the remedy to this now...  I personally think they should start all over again lol... I actually said it jokingly on BBM that what happens if the moon wasnt sighted for another few days and a friend replied "they'd import the moon from china lol... guess that was the case ...

Plane Crashes in Taiwan, Killing Dozens Flight, Op erated by TransAsia Airways, Was Heading From the Southern City of Kaohsiung to the Penghu Islands

TAIPEI—A TransAsia Airways 6702.TW -5.46% flight crashed on Wednesday 23rd of July 2014 while trying to make its second landing attempt in the Penghu islands off the coast of Taiwan, killing dozens of people.

The Penghu Fire Department said the death toll late Wednesday was at least 42 of the 58 people on board, and all bodies and remains had been sent to hospitals or a nearby morgue. The final death toll will be announced after the bodies have been properly identified.

The cause of the crash is still being investigated.The government said it suspected technical failure could be a factor in the crash, but bad weather may have also contributed. The fire department said 10 passengers and a local resident were sent to the hospital for burn injuries.

More than 300 rescue workers, including military personnel and local firefighters, were dispatched to the crash site.

Flight 222 was heading from the southern city of Kaohsiung to the Penghu islands, halfway between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan in the Taiwan Strait.

Transportation Minister Yeh Kuang-shih said two of the passengers are French nationals. "We believe we have found one of two black boxes," the minister added.

According to the Civil Aeronautics Administration, the aircraft was an ATR-72-500 short-haul regional airliner and had been in commission for 14 years. The flight was scheduled to take off at 4 p.m. local time but was asked to stay on the ground until 5:43 p.m. because of bad weather from tropical storm Matmo.

The aircraft was unable to land properly at Penghu's Magong Airport, the CAA said. After circling for a while, it was forced to make an emergency landing.

CAA Director-General Jean Shen said the last communication the aircraft had with the tower was at 7:06 p.m., when the pilot told the tower he would make a second landing attempt. The agency said data indicate the plane probably crashed in the village of Xixi after ascending approximately 300 feet.

TransAsia said bad weather forced the plane to make the emergency landing. Taiwan was battered by Matmo on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Company General Manager Chooi Yee-choong said the airline will do everything it can to help the victims' family members. There was to a charter flight early Thursday for family members from Kaohsiung to Magong Airport. "We will fully cooperate with the CAA and the transportation ministry with the investigation," said Mr. Chooi.

TransAsia Airways had seven accidents from 2002 to 2012, five of them involving the ATR-72, according to the website of Taiwan's Aviation Safety Council. Only the December 2002 accident resulted in the loss of life.

Based in Taipei, TransAsia Airways is smaller than Taiwanese carriers China AirlinesLtd. and Eva Airways. 2618.TW -0.67% It flies mostly domestic routes, but also has some international flights to destinations in mainland China as well as northeast and southeast Asia.

The carrier last year received approval from the CAA to set up a low-cost airline operating flights within a five-hour distance of Taiwan.

The type of aircraft that crashed on Wednesday is a "highly stable" plane able to land and take off on short runways, according to Mark Martin of Martin Consulting, an aviation advisory firm.

The Penghu islands area has seen deadly crashes before. The worst was a Boeing 747 jet operated by Taiwan's flag carrier, China Airlines, which broke apart in midair in May 2002 about 20 minutes into its journey from Taipei to Hong Kong and crashed into the sea northwest of Penghu, killing 225 people on board. Investigators said metal fatigue caused the plane to break apart.

In December 2002, a TransAsia ATR-72 cargo flight heading to Macau from Taipei crashed southwest of Penghu, killing the two crew members, on board. An investigation found that accumulation of ice around the plane's major components caused loss of control.

Penghu has for centuries been home to communities that live off fishing. In recent decades, the beaches and marine life have become tourist attractions.
