Its is impossible, the first thing any PP hacker would do is to @ first determine the IP of the countries registered PP, and den use socks to open.... If need be too for verificatn, dem phone nos of dat country would be apply to call.. Chikena

Okay ooooh ... my strongest indian buddy is here now, free money here u come...

My friend stop arguing, my paypal account is a merchant account. I have the ability to lock transactions to a specific I.P. If you have knowledge of TCP/IP protocols you would know what I'm talking about. Socks cannot help you with phone verification, you're going to need SSN, mother's maiden name and so on to successfully verify the account using a phone. Anyways that's by the side, I sincerely hope you're able to take the money from that account, I am seriously rooting for you because that would help me cash in on my identity theft protection worth $20,000

IVORY2009:
wats IP blocking, hv u heard of socks? All u need is to check the IP "country" of the PP and use socks dat matches dat country's IP, dis one might work out info@ ..... Approval? Hope no chichi inside

No you're getting it wrong, that particular account is locked to a specific I.P, any other I.P and it comes back as null and I have about $3,000 on that account starting with info so try your luck

And what if a team of hackers decide to go against you?
Bottom line of your whole story, you can still be hacked, key logger or not

And I do know the premises behind IT security, I am not in India for nothing

And No, 1 very skilled hacker is enough to hack a corporation, google and research

Anybody can be hacked but hackers prey on those who do not conduct due diligence, companies like Google constantly assess their risks and make adjustments on a daily basis. What I'm saying is a simple hack tool such as keylogger can and will not work against someone as prudent as I

IVORY2009:
lol email address is inactive.... give me confirm email address

That's just the security blocking any attempts from a foreign I.P., the email address is very active!

Let's try another one , info@essayloop.com or saucytoy@yahoo.com

hustla:
And what if there is spyware on your computer monitoring your key strokes?
If hackers can get to Yahoo,Apple and Sony, then who are you?

LOL Forming knowledge about cybercrime, just pray they dont get to you , thats all

I like the way you make assumptions because you have no idea the qualifications of the person you are communicating with. 7 years in advanced I.T is no joke and if I can't protect myself from simple hacks and exploits including keyloggers then I should just retire

You mention corporations and I laugh because you don't know the main premise behind I.T security. Let me share a little insight with you, companies like Yahoo, Facebook deal with millions and millions of Data, the more Data you deal with the more vulnerable your system becomes, that is why they spend billions and billions on security. Do you think one hacker can hack such a corporation? It takes a whole team of hackers with multiple hack attempts.

IVORY2009:
Is okay... just a moment.

What's taking so long my niccur? It's been like an hour now

IVORY2009:
Okay less go practical now, leave ur email address u used in creating ur paypal here, and let me give it to my "Indian friend"; a trial will convince you 20 mins only....

charlesrobinson621@gmail.com Take your time, in fact give it to not only your Indian friend but the Vietnamese and other Asian citizens

IVORY2009:
forget authentication my friend, this how it works, der is script dat is used, all you need is just the email address used in creating the paypal account, and perhaps dat email will be used to verify, in otherwords u hv to be able to log in to the email address as well too. Dat is it...

I'm telling you what I know, I do consulting work for companies like Paypal. My personal and business accounts are set up in a way that even if you guessed the password, you'll never be able to guess the PIN and security questions. You'll need all three in order for any hack to work, you'll need to know all three in order to change any info. on the account and after three failed attempts the account is automatically locked and the only way to reopen it is through phone verification, it's only dumb people that'll leave themselves unprotected in this age of cybercrime.

IVORY2009:
This one dey learn work, na script "Paypal hack" boys dey use now, show me ur paypal email address and ur account will be zero balance.

You are a learner, hacks are nothing but exploits and won't work unless you obtain the user's personal info through malware or phishing. I can give you an email address and you'll never be able to hack the paypal because it has multi layer authentication activated on the account!

And you expect us to believe some data from an unrecognized blog? Please provide the true source of your research and then maybe people can take it seriously! I personally would like to know if the speeds are true averages or just a random set of people.

abbey...why wasting ur time in replying am ?.. Middle finger to him ?

I actually had time to waste, just closed from the office. People like him are bullies and must be put in their place

polymathic:
huh! Cos I pitied u by apologizing, o boy go hug transformer joor... Kids like u don't need a fone at ya age, can u teach chemistry? Need a chemistry teacher, so apply asap cos u need a job...

Funny guy, in your eyes you've just composed a great comeback! Why don't you save your apology and stick it where the sun don't shine and while you are at it, call your family members together and offer one of them the teaching job since you are in such a giving spirit

polymathic:
Will u just shut the F**k up and listen and learn... They're tryna correct u, u still got light to type poo... Sorry for the tone, u got me irated, that's why

I don't f**king care if you were irritated or pissed, you do not talk to me in that tone, okay boy!

I hate when people generalize people into categories just to suit their point of view. Poverty in Nigeria is a serious case and it doesn't just exist at the youth level alone. In the article I see references to a few Nigerians that made it out of the poverty due to God, luck and hard work but for every 1 of them, I can count a 1,000 who failed, it's not that God was not their side nor were they cursed or lazy but when you put people into unfavorable circumstances and expect them to excel then the probability of success is very low.

Based on the article, one would suggest Nigerian youths are the laziest in the world but if you've seen what I've seen you might just bite your tongue and have a rethink. Come to America and I'll show you rotten youths, youths hooked on drugs, youths obsessed with gang related activities and so on, the statistic is alarming! One would easily abandon such youths and tag them as failures but the American society operates on a different level, it is a society which believes that people can be redeemed if equipped with proper elements not only for survival but for long term success. From education to healthcare, no matter the amount of debt, youths are given chances upon chances to succeed.

Now Mr. Bayo, can the same be said of the Nigerian society? Let's forget about the government, what about the private sector? What have they done to redeem the Nigerian youth? What about celebrities? What have they done to help the common man? Before we condemn our youths, let's ask ourselves what we've done to make the situation better!

keni315:
i dont think wat the guy said called for davido's reply

Imagine one of your friends on facebook or Instagram saying you look 35 or 40 when you are actually 10 or 15 years younger? Is that supposed to be encouraging or demeaning? What type of society do we live in where people deliberately keep trying to destroy your spirit? You might say that the guy was just joking but some jokes are too damn expensive!

keni315:
well, i think its Davido that is lacking it now

And why do you think so?

keni315:
you are not a nigerian

I am but I've been fortunate enough to expose myself to things beyond my immediate surroundings. Like Netiquette and so on...

jazzy4naija:
What is insulting about what the fan said ? That Davido looks older than his age or is there anything wrong with been 32? As a celebrity u must understand that fans would provoke u sometimes but considering who I are ,u have to take a deep breath before responding to what fans say about u it does not make u weak it only shows u r more matured

You might not find it offensive but I do, I stay in a country where such words are considered verbal abuse. It's high time Nigerians start behaving responsibly online or offline! Yea he could have just ignored the guy or laugh it off but he's human and once in a while it pays to give people a piece of your mind!

wisdompraise:
What makes you believe that Davido has more money that than the guy?
Because he is not a celebrity

It's simple most people with real money are very classy people, the guy showed no class whatsoever and unfortunately Davido had to stoop down to his level!

deejay2x67:
he ought to have gotten used to such comments . He shouldn't expect praises at all times.

You're right but he might have just been in a bad mood, we all humans!

jazzy4naija:
Didn't want to comment but for d sake of kids on this forum I had too..People like u are the reason Nigeria would not progress .Davido is what he is because his fans appreciate what he does which means without these fans he is nothing. There are many musicians out there but they are not celebrities because they dont have the no of fans Davido has. If i were Davido I will joke about what the fan said like saying "U mean 32 ? do I look that old lol" That would have shut d fan up. About Davido been richer so the fan must bow to him..don't believe u are serious but just in case u are let me advice u its only in Nigeria that we measure success by how much money someone has. Successes is relative for instance Man united consider their forth place finish as failure while Newcastle consider their 16th position as success so what u might tag as a reason to worship someone might mean nothing to another

So because you are a fan that means I should condone your insults? The way you sound it looks like Davido goes around bashing every fan, this is 9ja and not abroad, you can't just dish out and expect not to receive in return. Just because these people are celebrities doesn't give fans the right to insult them anyhow. Even as a non celeb if someone should try such with me I'll become offended or at least tempted to reply with sarcasm, so mr. man don't lecture me about the dynamics between celebrities & fans, they are both human beings!

Well said Davido! Nigerians and their lack of common sense, when you talking to someone with more money and fame than you then learn to speak with respect!

If you have a problem understanding English, how am I supposed to help you?
go back and read that post again.

Are you ignorant or just a troll? You replied to my post in regards to solar energy with this below and I responded appropriately based on the bold statement, now tell me who doesn't understand English?

Majority of ATMs in Naija run on inverters alternative enough?
how i wish you know how much a solar panel and amplifier cost.
They still need AGo to charge the inverters, who will supply it to them?

Nigerians and false advertisement, don't we know the difference between electric cars, solar powered car and Hybrid? The vehicle shown is the 2015 Kia Soul EV, it is an all electric vehicle, not solar! It costs about $35,000 which is about 7 million naira.

Election is over and yet the propaganda continues. I don't see any embarrassment in the situation mentioned, did they expect the PM to continue waiting outside till transportation gets there? Judging from the pictures below, President Buhari was well received.

No you are getting it all wrong, true solar energy does not need any other charging source than the sun. We have plenty of sunshine in Nigeria, all it takes is a very powerful capacitor and inverter and a couple of solar panels. The Chinese have perfected this technology and it is slowly being rolled out in advanced countries.

Great that, we are finding common grounds here...i think, we are making the same point...as might have noticed, I used the word 'medicinal' when referring to the chemicals in weed.

Yes, it contain naturally occurring THC and as you have indicated, if not taken in moderation leads to problems.

Also note that, synthesized THC is the active ingredient in many western medicines we take today for nausea, vomiting especially for people undergoing cancer treatments and it's synthesized form is also used to medically increase appetite in patients who find it difficult to eat. THC also protects the brain and stimulates growth.

A chemical like THC (called Anandamide) is also found in our body, it helps regulate our mood, sleep, memory and appetite.

That is why, despite the fact that the U.S. government ban on weeds, the FDA has approved many of drugs containing THC, which are then administer to people to supplement the Anandamide deficiency in order to continue those bodily functions, we have come to take for granted.

Hence, when weeds or some these western medicines that contain THC are abused, they lead to terrible consequences, but that in itself does mean that THC is bad, but that taking it in excess just like any other thing is bad.

Agree! That's why weed in itself is not sinful but excessively consuming it to the point that it becomes detrimental to your health or those around you is what's considered sinful just like alcohol or sex

linearity:
Got your point, but the chemical components of cocaine are toxin to the body, it is akin to killing oneself that the bible admonishes against, but the chemical content of weed are medicinal to the body.

Disclaimer:
I don't smoke, not even cigarettes.

You are right about the cocaine but wrong about the weed. The plant contains the mind-altering chemical delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other related compounds. THC when consumed in high amounts can lead to insanity!

When will all these useless businesses start investing in solar energy? A country like Nigeria heavily dependent on Oil will continue to face uncertainty at times, businesses must be equipped with an alternate source of electricity!

linearity:
This is one of the logic Bible referenced answers so far...does that means, you agree that it is not a sin, if taken in moderation?

Though you point to sport organizations, who ban some of these stuff. I do not know, if we can use them as yardsticks for biblical precedent. There are many things they allow that are not necessarily godly.

Most people forget that the Bible just like the other holy books is subject to interpretation. Nowhere in the Bible is smoking weed considered a sin but at the same time nowhere in the Bible is taking Cocaine or other illicit drugs considered a sin. So let's remove the sin part and focus on what's right or wrong! The Bible specifically states that we should not cause harm to ourselves or others, so if taking weed violates this then I think we have erred and should repent but if it doesn't then we are good to go. Every case is different, weed is not the culprit, the culprit here is human tolerance!

Smoking weed is not a Sin but can be dangerous to your health and doing anything which causes harm to you or any other person is a sin. Confused? Well don't be! Let me explain, as humans we have different tolerance levels. Some people are able to smoke weed and behave normal while weed can cause neurological disorders in some people. I have seen people behave very violently due to excessive weed, in fact 80% of mental patients lost their sanity due to drug related issues. Then comes the professional aspect, see in advanced countries such as the USA, before you can be employed at a professional job you have to undergo a drug test, testing positive on a urine test can and will automatically disqualify you. So all in all, you have to do what's best for you. You have to weigh the Pros and Cons in order to determine if taking weed is really worth it!

I could understand if Yale is giving her the award based on past achievements, for sure she has a remarkable list of accomplishments. Now if the award is based on the events of the past 4 years and the current state of the Nigerian economy then I would implore them to give it to someone else. This woman has allowed the corrupt elements of the Nigerian political system to influence her judgment hence the abysmal condition of the economy. I only wish she could return to her form which won her international recognition pre GEJ era, she was absolutely remarkable!
