The scene of this act of drama caught the attention of onlookers earlier this morning in Lagos Abule-Ebga Bus-Stop. The scene raged for about 30 minutes when a LASMA OFFICER and a SOLDIER MAN where first locking each others shirt later on to the extent of throwing several punch at each other. Eye witness said the lasma officer stopped a volkswagen varagon(Danfo) which is believed to have been driven by the military man, the witness said the lasma officer stopped the vehicle and didn't tell them their offense or why they were stopped, and delayed the transport bus which is believed to be carrying passengers onboard. Then later after few minutes, this erupts and provoked the driver and he started the vehicle engine and when he's about to move, the lasma officer ran from nowhere to the driver side of the transport vehicle and was dragging the steering with the driver, and that made the driver mad and came down of the vehicle and started locking each other. The lasma officer gave out the first punch that caught the attention of the public and everywhere became rowdy and after few minutes the military man left in anger with his vehicle and the passengers and the lasma officer began writing down the plate number. What a shame, two government workers.

ASUU STRIKE IS EVIDENCE OF FG'S CONSPIRACY THEORY AGAINST MASSES ~ ACTIVIST
The International Coordinator of Concerned Human Rights Nigeria, Declan Ihekaire has described the on-going strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) as a ‘conspiracy theory of the federal government against the Nigerian masses,’ adding that the lapses in the education sector of the country are an intentional move to advance the cause of privately owned tertiary institutions. “You find out that gradually they are killing the public educational sector while they are energising the privately owned institution,” he said during an interview on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, on Wednesday. To further prove his point, he alleged that all local government councillors in Nigeria have their children enrolled in privately owned institutions and not government owned schools. He also accused the government of being insincere about its claim to reverberate public tertiary institutions. He said that the federal government entered into an agreement with ASUU In 2009 to revamp the education sector with a total of N1.2 trillion, a deal the federal government is yet to fulfill. “We should begin to have a federal government that should start thinking about the people first and stop reneging on agreements. “It is something they should honour,” he said. Responding to federal government’s claim that the opposition has infiltrated ASUU, Ihekaire said this is ‘nice’. “It is a nice statement” “I remember they said that too in January during the January 2012 uprising when they said that we, the civil societies, are opposition. It was OK but the issue is that” so many committees were set up afterwards in a bid to resolve the situation. The civil societies have decided to back up ASUU because “as a parent, I’m afraid that I might not be able to send my children to public institutions in the nearest future. I need to guard the future of my children”.

FACEBOOK SAYS COUNTRIES SOUGHT DATA ON 38,000 USERS IN FIRST HALF OF 2013
The report follows allegations by former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden that practically every major Internet company -including Facebook, Google Inc and Microsoft Corp - routinely hands over troves of data on potentially millions of users to national intelligence agencies. Facebook has more than 1 billion users worldwide. U.S. law enforcement authorities were by far the most active in mining Facebook, seeking information on about 20,000 to 21,000 users between January and June. That represents a slight rise from the six months between June and December 2012, when U.S. agencies requested information on roughly 18,000 to 19,000 Facebook accounts, according to figures previously released by the company. Facebook has at least partially complied to about 80 percent of those requests, the company acknowledged on Tuesday. Authorities in other countries with large Facebook user bases, including India, the United Kingdom and Germany, also requested information on thousands of users. Facebook, which disclosed the figures in its first "Global Government Requests Report," said it individually scrutinized every information request and required governments to meet a "very high legal bar" to receive user data. Although the full scope of the National Security Agency's electronic data collection programs remains unclear, Facebook has vigorously contested claims that it allows the U.S. government unfettered access to secretly gather information on a significant fraction of its users. Facebook General Counsel Colin Stretch said in the Tuesday report that Facebook hoped to contribute to the "ongoing debate about the proper standards for government requests for user information in official investigations." "We fight many of these requests, pushing back when we find legal deficiencies and narrowing the scope of overly broad or vague requests," Stretch said. "When we are required to comply with a particular request, we frequently share only basic user information, such as name." Facebook said it would begin to publish information on data requests on a regular basis. Google and Twitter, among other companies, have periodically released similar information for several years. Facebook's report included secret information requests within the U.S. authorized under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the Patriot Act. U.S. companies are ordinarily prohibited from acknowledging the existence of data requests made under those statutes. Facebook negotiated with the U.S. government in June to begin publishing the total number of data requests it receives without specifying how many are related to law enforcement investigations as opposed to intelligence-gathering efforts. ~YarnzBox
