Enugu state day held recently at the National Stadium and it was awesome according to the attendee….
There were dozens of colorful masquerades dancing, jumping in the air, gyrating, stamping their feet and executing all manner of fantastic ‘gymnastics’.

The Enugu state governor was ably represented by the commissioner for rural development.

Nice one, but if you block their IP, you may also lose the real person on the same IP. Here is what me I normally do, create a registration system that requires indirect questions . Eg. "if you are real, type the number in the image above?. Spam bots will never answer that, but Human will do.

it varies....

Not all bots out there are good bots. Trolling your sites are malicious automated machines that can cause a number of problems. These bots inflate analytics data and can be responsible for attacks on your site. They are even handy tools for scraping and copying your content. Before you can properly use analytics to accomplish anything you need to have good analytics data. The old saying “Garbage in, garbage out” is doubly true in this case.

Content traffic data is important in determining how successful your content marketing strategy has been over a period of time. It also allows you to develop new strategies built around improving your content marketing.
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/seo.jpg
These bot visits skew the data so that you can’t trust the numbers to gauge your performance. It’s crazy – the 2014 bot traffic report by Incapsula found that over 50% of all website traffic was due to bots. It was also discovered that if you build your brand and become recognizable, it was likely that you would see more of an influx of bots to your site.
[size=19pt]3 Key Ways to Deal with Bots & Win
[/size]
Sounds like a “lose-lose” situation, doesn’t it? If you improve your visibility and market more and get a wider outreach then bots will also take more notice of you and the chances of a bot attack go up along with your popularity. Luckily, you can control bot visits relatively easily. The idea behind blocking bots is to find out where they come from and stop the source.

[size=18pt]This might seem like a complicated piece of internet wizardry, but the reality is as simple as the following steps:[/size]

Locate your Log Files: Servers all have a series of log files that make a record of visits to the website from each user based on their IP location. These logs are usually stored on your server. If you have a hosting company that gives you cPanel as your hosting front-end you can simply access your logs by clicking the link in the main cPanel window (the first window you visit). If you use Apache for your front-end, your logs will be in the /var/log folder. IIS users can configure their logging through the local computer’s control panel. In the control panel, you select administrative tools, then internet services manager, then select website, right click and then select properties, select website in the tabs then available, then on to properties and finally the general properties tab. In typical fashion, the Microsoft logs are the hardest to get your hands on.
Figuring Out the Most Visits by IP and User Agents: When you get your log files downloaded, it’s a simple matter to consolidate them into a single text file and then import them into Excel (or whatever you prefer to view your log files in). Excel is a very innovative way to manipulate data so that you can make sense out of it. When you import your data into Excel you can select the space delimiter to get the right data into the right columns. With a little cleaning up you’ll have usable data almost immediately.

Utilizing Excel’s Pivot Table Builder, you can create a pivot table to link number of visits to Client IP and then get a feel for the counts of visits from malicious IP’s. Client IP’s determine where your visitors are coming from and can easily give you insight into where most of your visitors are based. Renaming the table headers to Client IP, Hits and finally a User Agent column gives you a setup to determine which IP’s have visited your site the most. The User Agent determines the browser version and the operating system version that your visitor was running. Obviously, bots would have none of these so it’s just a matter of determining which ones are blank to pinpoint the presence of bots.

Blocking the IP: After you’ve figured out which IP is the bot location, you can now move forward in blocking reference to the bots in your analytics reports. Additionally, if you’re concerned about security, you can also block the bots from accessing the site altogether. Google Analytics gives you the option to block individual IP’s. It also comes with a built in bot-checker that you can enable in the Admin panel under View Settings and by selecting “Exclude all hits from known bots and spiders.” A handy tool for filtering your analytics to get a more realistic view of your outreach. Omniture gives you a bit more control about your analytics viewing and tabulation by giving you the option to exclude individual IP’s, exclude a set of IP’s (if you have a large number of bot entries) or create a processing rule that ignores certain IP’s and IP ranges.

On the server side of the spectrum, you can limit the availability of your site to certain visitors based on their IP. CPanel includes a handy IP Deny manager which allows you to enter IP’s that you can deny access to. In Apache, you can utilize either the mod_authz_host module or the.htaccess module, but the former is the more preferred method for controlling access. Open IIS Manager allows blocking through its features view, then navigating to the IP4 Address and Domain Restrictions, then to the actions pane and finally adding the IP address of the bot into the Add/Deny Entry list.
[size=19pt]The Threat of Bots and How to Combat Them[/size]

Even though bots can be a nuisance, being aware that they exist and are an active threat allows you to deal with them. These methods, although they do work, are not 100% effective in determining whether an IP is a bot. Constant traffic monitors via third party solutions can give you a more secure method of streamlining your traffic and keeping bots away from your pages.

Similarly, the introduction of ReCaptchas can stop bots and prove to be a viable measure, although it can be quite annoying if you’re a human to prove your humanness. At the end of the day the security of your site is of the utmost importance. It’s better to prevent bots from accessing your site than having to deal with the fallout of their malicious actions. Prevention will always be better than cure, and when it comes to websites, bots can deliver quite a blow to the viability of your content marketing strategy with very little effort.

Editor’s note: Femi Fani-Kayode, Nigeria’s former aviation ministerand influential opinion-maker, weighs in on Nnamdi Kanu, the Radio Biafra director’s, precedent, and President Muhammadu Buhari’s stance on the matter.
https://streetgist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/femi-fanikayode-streetgist1.jpg
I am not a Biafran and neither am I Igbo. I do however believe that it is the inalienable right of any human being or ethnic nationality to aspire to be free and to be able to determine their own destiny. The right of self-determination is enshrined in international law and it is guaranteed by every moral stricture known to man.

It is a right that has been exercised successfully over and over again in world history and it has led to the creation of new nations which were carved out of older ones. The denial of that right and the suppression and persecution of those who attempt to exercise it leads to nothing but defiance, dissent and resistance and, if not properly managed, it eventually spills over into war and carnage.
https://streetgist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/nnnaamdi-kanu.jpg
This has been the primary cause of most of history’s most brutal civil wars, including the American, Russian, French, English, Indian, Sri Lankan, Sudanese, Nigerian, Angolan, Congolese, Zimbabwean, Yugoslavian, Ukrainian, Nicaraguan, Cuban, Irish, Syrian, Libyan, Indonesian, Korean, Vietnamese, Spanish, Iraqi, Italian, Lebanese ones and countless others. I do not believe in violent change and neither do I believe in war, revolution, terror or the use of arms in the pursuance of even the most noble causes.

I do however believe in the power of ideas and the right of any man, woman or people to yearn to be free from bondage and to peacefully and freely express that yearning. It is in this context that I situate my belief in and support for those that view the Nigerian Federation as an oppressive entity which has effectively enslaved its people in an attempt to create what is essentially an artificial and unworkable state.

Those that believe in Nigeria have every right to continue to do so and to voice their resolve to keep Nigeria one. What they do not have the right to do is to refuse to offer the same degree of freedom of expression to those that do not believe in a united Nigeria and who instead believe in the peaceful dissolution of our nation to speak their minds and voice their views. What is good for the goose is surely good for the gander. You cannot grant one side of the divide freedom of expression whilst you deny it to the other.

This is all the more so because freedom of expression is the lifeblood of any democracy. It must be accorded in equal measure to those that believe in Nigeria and to those that do not. It is in this light that we must consider the plight of Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, the director of Radio Biafra and the man that has been described by the Igbo World Assembly as “Buhari’s first political prisoner”.

We may not like his style, we may not like his radio station, we may not share his views or approve of his methods but one thing that we cannot take from Mr. Kanu is his right to hold such views and to express them in a peaceful and lawful manner no matter how distasteful those views may be to some. To deny him this most basic human right is not only an act of intellectual terrorism but it is also the most grave and barbaric manifestation of what is essentially an evolving police state where different or contrary views cannot be accommodated by those in power.

When Mr. Alex Salmon and his Scottish Nationalist Party began the agitation for the dissolution of the United Kingdom and for the establishment of Scottish independence many years ago they were not charged to court, locked up indefinitely or murdered by the British authorities but instead they were eventually given the opportunity to participate in a referendum and test their ideas. The same thing happened in the Catalan region of Spain where the agitation for the establishment of a new nation is compelling and very popular.

The same thing happened a number of years ago in the Quebec region of Canada. It also happened in a region called East Timor which opted to leave Indonesia, and in Singapore which opted to leave Malaysia. The same process was adopted when Georgia, Ukraine and all the other former Soviet states opted to leave Russia, and when the Czech Republic opted to break off from Slovakia. The utility and importance of conducting a referendum on such matters in order to determine the true will of the people and to honor the findings of that referendum cannot be underestimated and it remains the only path for peace.

Sadly President Buhari who, like most in his generation, is still stuck in the mindset of a civil war general, has refused to learn from this. The biggest mistake and miscalculation of his administration so far is not the ruthless implementation of its patently and monstrously unapologetic northern and Islamic agenda but rather its absurd resolve to lock up Mr. Kanu indefinitely and to effectively throw the key away simply because he dared to call for the establishment of Biafra.

As far as I am aware, Mr. Kanu has not used or advocated the use of violence whilst expressing himself and neither have any of his supporters. One therefore wonders what has panicked the Federal Government to such a point that they not only have to lock him up but that they also have to violate the law of the land by not allowing him to see his lawyer and by not presenting him before a court of law and charging him within the constitutionally-prescribed three days.

State-sponsored violence and intimidation, the violation of human rights, illegal incarceration, the murder of innocents and the vicious suppression of legitimate ideas leads to nothing but hardened hearts, greater defiance and the spread of anger and dissent. The principle is simple and clear: the more you fan the flame of tyranny and repression the more the passion and fire of liberty spreads.

It follows that the biggest favor that President Buhari’s security agencies could have done for the Biafran cause was to lock up Mr. Kanu and thereby transform him from being a little-known secessionist into the living symbol of the Biafran struggle, a respected freedom fighter, a champion of the Igbo people and an internationally-acclaimed political prisoner.

It is no wonder that leading politicians from all over the world, including the former Home Secretary and former leader of the Labor Party in the United Kingdom, Mrs. Harriet Harman QC, have called for his release. The Russian and Israeli governments have also expressed concern and done the same.

Their call was the right and proper thing to do and I add my voice to that call. I have never met or spoken to Mr. Kanu but I am moved by his passion and courage. I am also persuaded by the logic and force of his public assertions. He has made a compelling case for the establishment of Biafra and millions of young Igbos from all over the world have bought into it.

It is left for those that do not agree with him to make a better case and to stem the Biafran tide. That is the monumental challenge that those that do not agree with Mr. Kanu’s views or his methods have. I have not always been on the same page with our Igbo brothers yet despite that one thing is clear: only the callous would deny the fact that they have suffered immeasurably in the Nigerian Federation over the last 50 years.

Only the uninformed would deny the fact that they have been butchered, murdered, persecuted, broken, humiliated, insulted, cheated and treated with contempt and disdain more than any other ethnic group in the country since July 1966.

What the Nigerian state is confronted with in the new generation of Igbos who refuse to be cowed is a time-bomb. Unlike their fathers they cannot be appeased or intimidated. They are not fearful of the prospect of a second civil war. They are not prepared to settle for crumbs and neither do they fear death, conflict, defeat, incarceration, butchery or persecution.

They are imbued with a spirit that cannot be suppressed, and the more they cry “Biafra,” the more the spirits of the millions that were slaughtered on the Biafran side during the civil war are invoked. The more they cry “Biafra,” the more the souls of the hundreds of thousands of their people that were butchered during the barbaric pogroms in the north in the mid-60’s and thereafter are remembered.

The more they cry “Biafra,” the more they remember how their fathers were stripped of everything after the civil war and how they have been denied the opportunity to rise to the highest office in the land. The more they cry “Biafra,” the more they acknowledge and recognise the bitter fact that the Buhari administration regard their kith and kin as nothing more than third class citizens and pitiable prisoners of war. The worst thing that the Nigerian authorities can do is to treat them with levity or contempt.

They are angry, they are fed up, they refuse to be enslaved, they want a brighter future and they have come to realise that they have nothing to lose. The most inappropriate thing that President Buhari can do is to continue to underestimate the power of their resolve or the clarity of their intent. The worst thing that they can do is to begin to jail them, to shed their blood and to take their lives.

The more you lock up the Biafrans, the more they will rise up. The more you mock them, the more they will shout. The more you kill them, the more their anger will be kindled. The more you deny them, the more they will wax stronger. The more you treat them with disdain, the more they will defy you. The more you treat them like slavesб the more they will aspire to break off and take their destiny into their own hands. You cannot resist an idea whose time has come.

This is a fact that we must all accept, and it is with this in mind that I urge President Buhari and the federal government to not only release Mr. Nnamdi Kanu but also to tread with the utmost restraint and caution when dealing with those that are agitating for Biafra.
