The GPS is meant to help prevent drivers from getting lost on the road. Even though newer and more recent cars often come with voice-activated navigation systems, many people still use their phone or handheld GPS devices to get them to their destinations. However, in spite of its obvious advantages, the GPS can make drivers take their focus off the road. Fortunately, with different states enforcing the distracted driving laws, fewer and fewer people will likely be involved in accidents as a result of distracted driving. Read on to find out how this is possible. GPS Interface Font Some navigation…

Under the Penal Code Act, forgery is defined in section 362 thus: “a person is said to make a false document if: a. who dishonestly or fraudulently makes signs, seals or executes a document or part of a document with the intention of causing it to be believed that the document or part of a document was made, signed, sealed or executed by or by the authority of a person by whom or by whose authority he knows that it was not made, signed, sealed or executed or: b. who without lawful authority dishonestly or fraudulently by cancellation or otherwise…
DETAILS emerged on Sunday that the decision of the leadership of the National Assembly to effect changes in the Senate Standing Orders 2015 (as amended) was in conformity with precedence and the tradition of the Assembly to regulate its own procedure as guaranteed by the 1999 Constitution. Sources close to the National Assembly on Sunday said it would be a misnomer to allege forgery in the alterations, as the Rule Book was printed by the management, following the approval for the printing of the new rules ahead of the inauguration. A source said the process was in conformity with the…
Barring any last minute changes, the Senate is expected to resume plenary on 28 July, 2015. The shift in date according to reports is meant to give the two opposing All Progressives Congress (APC) Senators – the Senators of Like Minds (loyal to Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki) and the Senate Unity Forum (loyal to Senator Ahmad Lawan) – enough time to digest the terms of settlement recommended by the Governor Atiku Bagudu-led three man reconciliation committee. The Committee was floated by APC Governors’ Forum to broker a truce in the seeming intractable differences between the two contending groups…
There is a gross amount of statistics associated with embezzlement. The crime itself pre-dates history. In America, nearly 80% of all reported embezzlement cases have been caught in the last 35 years. I say, “caught,” as opposed to, “occurred,” because many white collar crimes, like embezzlement, go unnoticed, or the institutions that are victimized don’t involve law enforcement for fear of public scrutiny. $42 Million Working at the NYC Laborers Sandhogs’ Union Local 147, Melissa King was the employee benefits manager. In 2002, at the age of 50, she began to embezzle funds from The Local. She transferred money to…

The ‘Clowns’ and the ‘Monkeys’ that ushered in the 8th National Assembly Session are unable to handle legislative housekeeping in selecting their leaders and Committee positions. They resolved into physical combat typified of lower animals, refused to change from their kindergarten mindset; unfortunately portraying their distinguished motor parks touts, instead of facing the realities of lawmaking, in all ramifications. Nigerians hope for them to return from the recess with more matured mindset and sense of accountabilities to the Nation. Clowns and Monkeys of the National Assembly Unfortunately, Nigerians who voted for a change in the Nigeria political process, witnessed…
The emergence of the leadership of the current National Assembly (NASS) in Nigeria has thrown up many issues which will generate a heated debate for a long time. The June 9 inauguration of the 8th National Assembly and the drama attending the election of the Senate President, Speaker and their deputies have presented drama, intrigues and political calculations which deserve that not only books be written about the event of that day and what happened before and after, but also requires scholars of political science and Nigerian political developments and government to further interrogate and document what happened for posterity. While so…

Media houses, especially reporters, must realise that their credibility is like virginity; once lost, due to the compromise of values, it can never be regained and the regrets of such acts of indiscretion may last a lifetime. The Nigerian media’s reputation for bias and pecuniary journalism is legendary. Sadly, our performance in the run-up to and after the race for the leadership of the National Assembly shows that, like the leopard, we have not changed our spots. Thanks to a naive public that neither discerns nor filters information, the merchants of unprincipled journalism among us continue to thrive in a…
The Federal Government has issued licenses to import refined petroleum products to 29 major oil marketers in a bid to end the fuel scarcity being witnessed across the country. The third quarter approval for import allocations to the 29 marketers signaled a significant reduction in the number of marketers previously issued with such allocations. Previously, 43 marketers were given import allocation but the significant reduction is seen as a way of blocking revenue leakages in the oil and gas sector as promised by President Muhammadu Buhari. The 29 marketers include the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) which in the last…
