FG Set To Introduce E-prison System

The Minister of Interior, Mr Abba Moro on Tuesday said the ministry was planning to introduce the e-prison system in order to put an end to incessant prisons breaks.

The Minister said this when a delegation of the Human Rights Commission paid a courtesy visit on him at the ministry in Abuja. And that the ministry was committed to making Nigerian prisons among the best in the world through the rehabilitation and construction of new prisons.

” We are committed to make the prisons one of the best from structure to infrastructure. The ministry inherited a prisons system that was nearly comatose hence it has taken steps to rehabilitate prisons .

” Presently new structures are under construction in various states including Yobe, Ibadan, Kwara, Nnewi among others and before the end of this administration this projects will be commissioned” 

He said that President Goodluck Jonathan had approved the construction of 200 bed spaces each in Nasarawa and Suleja prisons to improve the living condition of prisoners.

Moro said that the ministry was currently working with the Nigerian Army and the Nigeria Police to ensure safety of prisoners and prevent future attacks.

He assured the commission of the ministry’s effort to ensure safety of Nigerians before, during and after the election.

Twitter Adds Video Tweets, Group Messaging Features

Twitter is rolling out two new features to its messaging app. Users will now be able to edit and upload 30-second videos and share private group messages with up to 20 participants.

Previously users had to sign up on Vine – a video service acquired by Twitter – to be able to post videos in Tweets. Now users can directly upload videos taken in the Twitter app onto their timeline.

Videos uploaded directly have a 30-second limit, as against 6 seconds on Vine. This could possibly spell the demise of Vine, though it has managed to create a niche for itself in the short video messaging space.

Also users can now use the Direct Messaging feature to hold private group chats within the app. Unlike the original DM feature were you recipient has to be following you, group DMs allow everyone within the group chat, as long as they’re added to the group by someone they follow.

The purpose of adding these new features is quite obvious – get more users to engaged each other within the app. “Twitter observers” who might want to discuss topics that matter to them are often discouraged by cyber bullying and other privacy concerns that plague the open internet. With group DMs, users will now be able to read (or watch) Tweets and then follow up the conversation in private with trusted acquaintances. The idea is to discourage users from continuing the conversation outside Twitter into other messaging platforms.

The new features have begun rolling out in trickles to select users, beginning today, and to other users (Android and iOS) in the “coming days” the social media site said in their official blog.

Cambridge University provides more details on Buhari’s WASC results

The University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate, UCLES, now Cambridge Assessment, has provided further details on the WASC,results presented by Muhammadu Buhari, APC presidential candidate. 

In a new post on its website, the university confirmed result grades for the examination in 1961 were issued in numbers, not letters, as suggested by critics of Mr. Buhari who have dismissed the results he presented as forged.

According to Cambridge, “Examination results were classed in grades from 1 to 9”.

“1, 2,3,4,5 & 6 indicate a Pass with Credit; 7 & 8 indicate a Pass; 9 indicate a Failure,” the school said.

Results tendered by Mr. Buhari shows he had credits in English Language, Geography, Health Science, Hausa Language; failed in Mathematics and Woodwork, and had a pass in Literature in English.

In its post, Cambridge said for candidates to qualify for its certificate in 1961, they needed to pass English, and not necessarily Mathematics.

This caused intense controversy over whether Mr. Buhari, completed his secondary education.

The Nigerian constitution requires any candidate running for the office of the President to have at least the Senior Secondary School Certificate or its equivalent.

The former head of state also said original copies of his credentials were lost when his house was raided when he was in detention during the administration of Ibrahim Babangida who toppled his regime.

See First Photo Of INEC Card Reader For 2015 Elections

INEC showcased the card readers that will be used for the 2015 elections, The black device which is similar to a retro cellphone will be capable of registering the voters choice.
This is the first time card readers will be used in Nigerian elections.The deployment of card readers for the February polls is expected to eliminate rigging in the electoral process.

The INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner in Enugu says;

“Using the card readers will be a watershed in the electoral process in the country. Politicians should rather concentrate on issue-based campaigns with a view to convincing the electorate than plotting ways to discredit the process. ‘Those plotting to rig the February elections will be disappointed. Those that stole our voters’ cards are just wasting their time because they cannot use them. It is impossible to hack into the INEC card readers so the best thing for politicians is to go and campaign instead of plotting to rig. The idea is to make sure that the electorates have a say in governance and their mandate protected."
