Niger Delta Women At EFCC Rivers Office Protesting For Patience Jonathan

An organization, voice of Naija Delta Women today stormed the Rivers office of the Economic and financial crimes commission protesting the seizure of former first lady, patience Jonathan;s $15 million. The women, numbering about 100, stormed the EFCC’s office chanting various songs and carrying different placards and banners with inscriptions bearing their grievances. The main thrust of their grievances was that the ‘’EFCC should release the $15million Patience Jonathan’s money without delay’'. Some inscriptions on the banners are: ‘’Please, EFCC, the malady of Mrs Patience Jonathan is of great concern to us, come to our aid in Allah’s name”; ‘’Leave our mother alone”; “Mr Chairman Sir, (EFCC) pls fight corruption with love”; “Leave Ex-president wife alone”; “Magu, unfreeze Mrs Patience Jonathan Account”, among others. Leader of the protesters, High Chief Rita N. Onwunali Adandigbo, said that her group, Voice of Niger Delta Women, supported the corruption agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari but was in the EFCC to express its worry over the “deteriorating health situation of Mrs Patience Jonathan owing to the non-release of her money by the EFCC”. Responding, Oyewale assured the group that their grievances would be looked into promptly and objectively. “We will report your grievances to the Ag. Executive chairman, Mr. Ibrahim Magu and he will carefully look into it. We will report everything you have said to him and actions will be taken accordingly” he said. http://politicsngr.com/patience-jonathan-15-million-100-women-storm-efccs-rivers-office/

Woman Sentenced To 90 Years In Prison For N5.6 million Admission Fraud - Crime

A woman by the name of Chika Amsy Charles has been sentenced to 90 years in Prison by a federal high court in Enugu for N5.6 million fraud.Chika perpetrated the fraud along with two others who are currently at large.

Charles was dragged before Justice D.V Agishir by the EFCC. She was sentenced today, October 27th, to three years imprisonment on each of the thirty count charges filed against her by the anti-graft Commission.

She was found guilty of swindling three Nigerians of N5,620,000.00 (Five million, Six Hundred and Twenty Thousand Naira only) under the pretense of helping them secure admission into Enugu State University of Science and Technology ESUTH, through her unregistered NGO called 'Bold and Dynamic Gender Initiative'.

One of the charges in her Court documents read:

“That you Chika Amsy Charles, Simon Chidubem (at large) and Friday Ali(at large) on or about the 10th October, 2007 at Enugu, Enugu State within the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court of Nigeria with intent to defraud obtained N330,000(Three Hundred and Thirty Thousand) from Okudoh Obinna by false pretense when you represented yourselves as capable of procuring admission for his wards into Enugu State University of Science and Technology which pretense you knew to be false and thereby committed an offense contrary to Section 1(1)(b) of the Advanced Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act NO: 14 of 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act”.

New Invention

Scientists from the École Polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne or EPFL have developed a new invention that is able to split any kind of sound into several frequencies. This type of acoustic prism can find its best use in sound detection. Several centuries ago the famous scientist Isaac Newton has proved and showed how a prism can split the regular white light into the specter of rainbow colors. Every color was in accordance with different frequency. This type of optical prism is reliant on the refraction which splits the light into several frequencies. So now finally the scientists have found a prism for the sound as well.
This new invention is an acoustic prism that can split the sound in different frequencies just by using physical properties. Unlike the optimal prism, this acoustic prism is completely man-made, without help from machines or robots. So how exactly does it work? Well, sound decomposing into constituent frequencies is reliant on the proper interaction between the structure of the acoustic prism and the sound wave. The prism is modifying each separate frequency from the sound wave, without the need for electronic components.
How does the prism look like? The acoustic prism is an aluminum-based tube with the rectangular shape. It has ten aligned holes on the one side. Each and every hole ends with a cavity within the rectangular tube, and there is also a membrane between two cavities. When sound enters into the tube from one end, the components with high frequencies exit out of the tube from the holes that are near the source. The low frequencies, on the other end, exit through those holes that are away at the other tube end. Similarly like in the optimal prism, sounds get dispersed and angle of dispersion depends on the frequency of the sound wave. The key for the prism to function are the membranes. This is because they are vibrating and sending the sound to the cavities with a slight delay depending on the sound frequency. Delayed sound goes through the cavities and towards outside, which disperses the sound.
To take this invention one to next level, the scientists have found out that they can use the prism as an antenna in order to locate the precise direction of the sound in the distance, just by measuring the sound frequency. Due to the fact that every angle of dispersion corresponds with particular sound frequency, it would be enough just to measure the main component of the frequency from the incoming sound in order to determine the precise location from where it comes. This can be done without even moving the acoustic prism.
The key behind the acoustic prism is the design of the membranes, ducts and cavities, which can be miniaturized or fabricated easily. That could lead towards cost-effective detection of the sound without using moving antennas or expensive microphone arrays. This new invention still needs modifications and improvements, but the future looks bright. It can completely revolutionize the way we hear sounds and it can give the scientists a solid base to work on.
