Of course it's an ocn.ne/ad.jp email. I don't bother reporting to them anymore because I find it pointless. 
I also reported it to netabuse (at) mtn.bj, but as you all know, they're notorious for not dealing with spam very well. 
I tried reporting to UBA's security email that I found doing a Google search and this is the result Gmail's mailer-daemon sent back:

They have a lot of compromised accounts which they act on, getting Japs to turn on Windows Defender is complicated?  would help if you learn what a SpamCop tracking URL was

? Here's the Tracking URL. Feel free to remove what you need from the URL after examining the report:

That's better "X-Originating-IP: [197.234.221.192]" is the botnet source all their IP's listed as a botnet, yes they are sent through a compromised  ocn computer "153.149.227.167" but not reported

Why is it only blacklisted at abuseat and nowhere else? Is there a reason for that?

If it's on abuseat's CBL list, it will usually find its way to spamhaus's ZEN list as well, I think Spamhaus took the list over a year or two back. I'm also seeing listings on other lists as well.

That is a public list which is available free to many ISP's, many have secret blocklists that are never known by anyone but them..

Are emails with this string of IP addresses originating from Benin and OCN is just used to send the emails?

True. When I was running my own email server a few years back, I had what amounted to private blacklists, hidden from public view until an incoming email ran foul of the filtering I had in place. I never got round to running a DNSBL/RBL.

https://www.talosintelligence.com/reputation_center/lookup?search=197.234.221.192
They have port 25 blocked so SpamCop is finding the source IP?
Seems  near all their entire IP range. CBL are saying their email servers themselves are infected with "sendsafe"
