App when we never see data

The federal government has reiterated its determination to stem vandalisation of national assets and infrastructures through all available legal means, including technology.

The assurance followed the launch of an internet-based application for electricity consumers that allow users to send real time messages and video images for instant response from the Nigerian Electricity Regulation Commission (NERC), Distribution Companies (Discos) and security agencies.

The National Security and Crime Reporting App, known as Hawk Eye App was the result of a partnership between NERC, Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC), Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), Huawei and Web Asset Ltd.

According to Kayode Aladesuyi, Web Asset Ltd’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the application was structured for complaints, information, tip-off and rescue among other features.

He said: “People stealing power through illegal tapping or stealing of electricity cables have caused greater problems for efficient and regular distribution of power nationwide. Stealing power is a great challenge, tapping power for free is detrimental to national development. Over 115 people died from live wire electrocution in 2015, which is regrettable because such incidents can be prevented if neighbours or witnesses have avenues to make reports for instant response from relevant authorities.”



The representative of NERC, Abdul Mohammed, Deputy General Manager (Engineering Standards) said the application was not only to ensure the safety of electricity infrastructures nationwide but also to bring electricity consumers closer to the Discos and NERC.

Harry Cui, who represented the technical partner, Huawei also guaranteed the success of the application saying that the country’s land mass and infrastructure challenges has made the usage of the application expedient.

In a bid to curb the disturbing nuisances that stem from criminality in our society, Web Asset Limited, a Lagos-based technology company, has launched an interactive crime reporting system tagged ‘Hawk Eye’.
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/in-partnership-with-Huawei.jpg

Hawk Eye is a mobile app that uses an innovative technology to checkmate crime in Nigeria.

The launch which took place in Abuja, was a beta launch piloted by Mr. Kayode Aladesuyi, chairman Web Asset Ltd., and developer of the Hawk Eye app.



The pilot launch was aimed at demonstrating how the app could be useful in finding a solution to the menace of utility and energy theft plaguing the electricity sector.

The demonstration highlighted the distinctive features of the app like the ability to select crime types, capture and send videos, images or text messages of the crime and direct these to appropriate security authorities for immediate action.

He added that the system offers a crime management platform with a robust command and control centre dashboard to display location of crime scenes and the nearest officers to respond to the reported crime.

The Hawk Eye system is the first national crime reporting system in the country and is one of the ways in which the public can lend its support to reinforce the governments’ unrelenting efforts in safeguarding lives and properties across the country.

Mr. Aladesuyi, explained that beyond reporting utility theft for the energy sector, the app had been developed with the potential to work with different security agencies and institutions in the country and deal with crime at all levels from kidnapping, vandalism, civil unrest, terrorism, extortion, etc.

He said: “We are always looking for better and more contemporary ways of safeguarding lives and private properties, including public utilities. The app which is a niche crime reporting app, will address the infrastructural gap in the area of emergency response system through internet-enabled mobile phones. The app also provides an alternative, fast and easy way of tackling security issues with exposure to lesser risks.”

“Hawk Eye enables officers in the field to receive dispatched incidents and option to file reports in real-time even while in remote locations. Through its unique offering of Global Announcement feature, the app allows communication with different communities on national emergencies, most wanted persons, among other emergencies. In addition, Hawk Eye provides a FindMe feature for users to notify Rapid Response units or family members in the event of kidnapping incidents,” he said.

Ernest Mupwaya, managing director of Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), in his remarks said, “Energy theft is crippling the revenues of electricity distribution companies and impacting negatively on growth.” He explained that the distance and communication gaps were hindrances to checking criminal activities in the sector, adding that the app, as a security enabler would bridge these gaps.

op which era are you leaving in , stone age?

We live in an age where being a blogger is a perfectly viable career choice. However, as more and more people are discovering blogging, we are also seeing more and more mistakes being made by these first-time bloggers. This article is aimed at them specifically and it is all about how they can avoid making mistakes that will hurt their new and budding blogging career.
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/5-Mistakes-First-Time-Bloggers-Make-800x533.jpg

1. Copying Others

To someone who has had little to no contact with writing stuff other people will read, coming up with unique content can seem like a daunting task. Some people immediately remember their school days when they were forced to write essays and reports. The important thing to remember is that you should never copy others. Sure, you can consult other people’s blogs to get ideas and a feel for the subject, but never copy others.

Why would anyone read your stuff, when they can read the original?
2. Not Using Social Media

The mere fact that you wrote a great piece of content does not necessarily mean that people will notice it and talk about it. The good news is that thanks to social media, it is now easier than ever to share the stuff you write. Facebook and Twitter are the most popular social networks today, although Instagram, Snapchat are trailing them closely these days. Using social networks will get your content in front of more people and enable them to share it with their friends.
3. Not Doing Guest Blogging

Guest blogging is a practice where you approach owners of other blogs and ask them if you could contribute to their websites. It may seem counterproductive to produce content for other people, but the kind of exposure you will get will be worth it. More than this, thanks to the links you will get in return, your own blog will become more popular and rank better in search engines. This can mean a lot once you start trying to make your blog really strong.
4. Not Being Consistent

One of the most common mistakes that new blog owners make is they think they can post new content whenever they feel like it. When running a blog, it is crucial that you publish content on a regular basis. You can choose the rhythm yourself – it can be from once a day to once a week or even rarer. The important thing is that people know they can count on you and that search engines also get a regular influx of content from your website.

5. Not Thinking about the Visuals

Whether you like it or not, the web is turning from text to visual and at an ever-increasing pace. Whereas once you could rely on well-written content to get you noticed, these days, people just do not have the patience for comprehensive articles, even on the subjects that they consider interesting. This is why new bloggers need to remember that the visual aesthetics can easily influence how they make money from blogging. If you can find the time, you should also think about producing some video content and posting it on your YouTube profile. The days of text are long gone.
Closing Word

Avoiding these mistakes is going to prevent disasters. Turning your blog into a profitable one is going to take more work than just this, though. But as long as you are ready to work hard and improve your skills, you should be well off.

An affected student writes in...
I attended LASU (Anthony Campus) and graduated in the year 2009 but as I write this, we are yet to receive our results from the school authorities. We have pleaded with the school authorities on several occasions on the release of our results but unfortunately our pleas have fallen on deaf ears.

It is high time we call the attention of Lagos State government and Management of Lagos State University (LASU) to the plight of ex-Students of the institution. many students who have graduated from the school and met all the necessary requirements to be awarded certificates are yet to receive any proof of graduation.
https://i2.wp.com/streetgist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/lasu-gate.jpg

The worse hit are students of the School of Part-time Studies (Anthony Campus) who have nothing to show after spending at least 6 years in the institution. Some students who wrote their final exams some 6 years ago are still at the mercy of the School's Senate to approve their results. This is not encouraging especially in a highly competitive and harsh labour environment like ours.

We are pleading with the listening Governor of Lagos, His Excellency, Akinwunmi Ambode to look critically at the management of LASU with a view to expediting the release of student's result‎.
