Satellite telecommunications service providers have been accused of aiding and abetting the unending insecurity situation in the Nigeria’s North-East due to vested interest in their offering, reports ITREALMS.

These satellite telecoms service providers, according to a retired military intelligence officer, offer services to some fraudulent californium precious stone explorers under the guise of international Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) who deploy their services without regulatory stress from any sovereign country.

Making these accusation, the Action Alliance (AA) Presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, retired Major Hamza Al-Mustapha alleged that some international NGOs have been illegally exploring californium, a precious stone found in Borno State-Nigeria.

Speaking as the guest of Brekete Family recently in Abuja, Al-Mustapha accused satellite telecoms service providers of conniving with the some state actors, especially at the Federal and state levels to exploit the californium precious stones in Nigeria under pretense of international NGO.

These NGOs, he said, came with satellite telephones and personal computers that connect via the satellite too.

Al-Mustapha, insisted that these NGOs, leave late in the night to go to the Californium sites and where soldiers and police dread to go during the day time, wondering who is providing cover for them during this period.

He called on the Federal Ministry of Health to take a critical look on why there is increase in cancer and kidney cases in the North-East and Borno State precisely.

Al-Mustapha also accused the Federal Government of ineptitude and international satellite companies of high-level complacency on the issue of insecurity in the North East.

ITREALMS gathered that globally, these NGOs use the services of international companies offering satellite telecommunications services such as Thuraya satellite phones to name a few.

Also, ITREALMS gathered that Californium is worth $27 million per gram, about N12,040,920,000.00 billion.

Satellite phone systems could be classified into two types, namely the systems that use satellites in a high geostationary orbit, 35,786 kilometres (22,236 mi) above the earth's surface, and systems that use satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), 640 to 1,120 kilometers (400 to 700 miles) above the earth.

Traditionally, cell phones rely on cell towers, unlike satellite phones that work anywhere on earth. Once you leave the city, satellite networks are the only networks offering reliable communication. So, there are satellite phones that work anywhere, even in the most remote areas of the world.

Sophos, a global leader in next-generation cybersecurity, today announced in the Sophos X-Ops report, “Cookie stealing: the new perimeter bypass,” that active adversaries are increasingly exploiting stolen session cookies to bypass Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and gain access to corporate resources.

In some cases, the cookie theft itself is a highly targeted attack, with adversaries scraping cookie data from compromised systems within a network and using legitimate executable to disguise the malicious activity.

Trump sabotaging US for Chinese exploit

ITRealms:

The Greenpeace International has accused the President of United States, Mr. Donald Trump of sabotage, and paving the way for China to reap America the anticipated economic benefits from green revolution, reports ITRealms.

The organization, in its reaction to the June 1^st withdrawal by America from the Paris Climate Change deal, follows President Trump’s pronouncement, saying it will only put US in jeopardy and provide China the lee way to exploit the economic benefits from America.

The Senior Global Policy Officer, at Greenpeace East Asia, Li Shuo told ITRealms that it will only put United States at an ugly edge.

“It will only corner the US and present China with an opportunity to reap the economic benefits of America’s withdrawal,” Shuo said.

The Global Policy Officer, also alleged that President Trump has taken his administration in the opposite direction against the rest of the world.

Stressing that this is coming on the recent Chinese cancellation of coal power plants and decried that Trump canceled climate action.

“Trump’s attempt to sabotage the global transition to a safer clean energy future would not succeed,” Shuo lamented.

For the Greenpeace Africa Executive Director, Njeri Kabeberi said, “Thursday, June 1st 2017 will be written in history as the day the US, under the administration of President Trump, turned its back on those who needed its leadership, ambition and compassion.

“The millions of people living on the African continent are on the frontlines of climate change, and it is critical that polluters are held accountable for the suffering and injustice global warming is already inflicting. Climate change impacts are already a daily reality, and action to stop catastrophic climate change cannot be delayed. Our global community will take action, and is already taking action, with or without the US government, and it is critical that major emitters like South Africa step up and take a leadership role.”

Equally, for the Greenpeace International Executive Director, Jennifer Morgan, “Withdrawing from the Paris Agreement will turn America from a global climate leader into a flat earth society of one. It is a morally-bankrupt decision that Trump will come to regret. Global climate action is not a legal or political debate; it is an inescapable obligation to protect people and the planet.

“Trump is surrendering US global leadership to real world leaders who are seizing the momentum to protect their country and the climate by transforming their economies to clean energy. We are witnessing a seismic shift in the global order as Europe, China and others lead the way forward.

“Almost 200 countries committed to climate action in Paris and only one has decided to withdraw. This is how far out of step Trump is with the rest of the world. It is the changing of the global guard - as the US bows out, world leaders, CEOs and people across the world can and are moving forward into the future.”
