Ok,plz have dey forgotten about SHAKAU so soon. Or they r tired of pursuing dat1

It's been long he released a video, so for all intents and purposes he's either operationally or physically incapacitated.

At least we hope so.

mightyokwy:
My brother dn't die for this country. The country is not what dying for. How many of these greedy politicians are ready to sacrify their selfish interest for your unborn kids. May the good God protect you

it's not only politicians that live in this country nah. the greedy thieves are about 0.1% of the entire population.

Mr EOD Expert, thanks for your service

You should post more-informed comments. You have google to help you

This year's Cyberlympics' CTF games was developed by Gam3z Inc, a company specialized in developing CTF contests.

The same guys did same for Defcon https://www.defcon.org/html/defcon-22/dc-22-contest-results.html#warlock

Ok fine! Warl0ck is involved.

But i prefer DefCon.

And TeamNaija will get their arses handed out to them

Well then na you go look for trouble.

Believe it or not im still having trouble with subnets!

Slyr0x:
C'mon, who then will protect sensitive customer information if these guys don't work in banks?

Good point.

But why would you employ a hacker in a financial institution?

efilefun:
Sure but passing that written alone na war, bro no near am. Did CCNA exam myself and was feeling like Messi, mere facing CCIE training gave me constant headache everyday after class even with all the cold weather my head was always hot

Routing and Switching or Service Provider?

wepingtk:
real hackers no dey make mouth




so you want make dem dey shout say dem b hacker

Ethical hackers are known by their works. You aint a whitehat hacker unless you've ever discovered some vulnerability or written some exploits. Have thes guys ever published anything? Nope. At least none that we've heard of.

Also, real ethical hackers would work in security firms or software companies, not banks!

I'm guessing the naija mentality of placing too much value on certs intimidated someone into thinking these guys can hack, so they favorited them.

efilefun:
Lol as you can see in front of his CCIE he passed only the written and sure he F'ed up the Lab

But you aint CCIE qualified unless you pass both modules na.

These people are probably sponsored by a patron system, otherwise they'd have allowed others to compete for the chance to rep naija.

blech!

looks fugly

efilefun:
Only those in love with IT and mostly people outside Nigeria will understand all those qualifications... That CCIE exam is suicidal, 6 straight hours Lab exam and the fee aint smiling. Great to see this people being recognized.

I stand to be corrected but with a CCIE certificate, you can NEVER NEVER and NEVER be unemployed.

Only about 1% of network professionals certified by Cisco have passed CCIE, as claimed by Cisco itself.

However i cant find any of these guys at the CCIE Hall of Fame at www.cciehof.com

All certified CCIE engineers are represented at the CCIE HoF.

Abi na yahoo certs?

SmartMugu:
Let's hope Russians are not going. They have the some damn good hackers.

You must mean the Chinese.

slightlyMad:
are you really kidding me? like seriously?
isn't there supposed to be a qualifier match or something?
those guys representing us work for firstbank and digitalencode
they have day to day tasks to meetup with at their respective places of work

those whom they will compete with have much higher IQs, members of mensa.org, they build security systems, compilers, decompilers, operating systems and spend 18 hours daily researching and creating things that never existed.

all those 5 guys do is probably hack with python, java,php,js. a system built and contributed to by those they will be up against

laughing very hard

Absolutely agree with you.

Most likely these are script kiddies.

Besides, no one has ever heard of them

eDoctorr:
Seems people are giving this a wrong interpretation. They're hackers not crackers. Hacking
is a profession and not crime as some illiterates are tagging it.

Hacking is breaking into networks. Cracking is defying safeguards, usuallly applied to cryptography in software.

Hacking is mostly illegal or unethical, depending on your intent.

Whitehat hacking can be a job and legal since its ethical; blackhat hacking is illegal and is most certainly a crime.

My Brother no talk o...50 IT CERTIFICATES no be here o... are these guys in Nigeria or they were all Outside the country before now?

Real hackers didn't learn their craft in school.

Real hackers dont work in banal places like banks

Real hackers will chew this guys and spit them out before they even type "Traceroute"

TECNO has just launched a new flagship device for 2015 – the TECNO Phantom 5. The MobilityArena.com team was present at the launch event and enjoyed all its glitz and glamour. We already had a unit of this phone even before the launch event, so we got to play with it and discovered what an amazing device it was upfront.



Going through Nairaland and other Nigerian forums, you will see and hear people voicing their various concerns. A TECNO phone for N70,000? Why would you or should you buy a TECNO phone for such a huge price?

This is a reply for all those complaining. I don’t have my allegiance sworn to TECNO or any other brand. Rather, as a more privileged observer these are my thoughts.

TECNO as we know it in the Nigerian market pride themselves as makers of value for money smartphones. Over the years they have done well in that aspect and provide Nigerians with affordable smartphones. In fact to be honest, TECNO has contributed to bringing the internet to many Nigerians.

So, people associate TECNO with cheap devices for the mid and lower class people that can afford it.

I remember 2013 when TECNO launched their first flagship, TECNO Phantom A. People cried wolf, but those that bought it bought it. Next was the even more expensive Phantom Z. Some people even wailed louder, and myself and many others still bought it.

Now we have a much better smartphone and people are still wailing. Again, I believe that people will still buy. People understand value and the Phantom 5 is great value. Devices in its class cost N20,000 more than it does, so it still follows TECNO’s mantra of providing value-for-money smartphones.

Looking at all the cries, complaints and criticisms. I came to two huge conclusions:

The people that are crying do so because they have not held used or even touched this phone
They cry foul because this is a TECNO
Like I said earlier, we already had this device even before it was launched. Mr.Mo is currently playing with his as I type this article.

We all at MobilityArena.com were amazed at the phone. The design and finishing, music quality both on earphone and external speakers – all superb. Trust me: this phone is miles apart from the TECNO phones you used to know. We were greatly impressed by what we saw, and we think it is worth its price.

Brand perception is one of the major things TECNO now has to tackle. People are resistant to change, and as TECNO wants to change their perception, many people are yet to come to terms with doling out that kind of cash for a TECNO device. People are complaining because it is a TECNO.

If it were a Sony, HTC, LG, or even a Xiaomi, we would all be cool with it. But note that the devices from those manufacturers in this class cost much more than the Phantom Z does. There is the value.

There are two advice I have for TECNO:

They should do more of marketing and put more effort to change that perceptions Nigerians have of them.
They should try as much as possible to provide a software update for their phones, especially fr a flagship device like the Phantom 5. That will go a long way in attracting the techies who are the most vocal users.
It would indeed be a sad plight to buy this phone and not get any software update.
If TECNO can do more to market themselves as premium maker (while their younger brother Infinix focuses on mid-low end devices), then assure us of a software update even if its just a single one to Marshmallow, then they have just completed the package.

Please before further criticism, first have a feel of this phone, compare its price with the price of its direct competitors, then come back and let’s talk.

You seem to have this weird definition of the word "value". The way you use it connotes a synonymic relationship with "affordability".

Just because something is cheap does not imply it has any value to the buyer, especially when other factors (such as mouth watering specs or attractive packaging) serve to persuade one's buying decision.

What if i buy the phone based on affordability and good specs on paper, but find the RAM to be slow, the power optimization poor, and the color gamut to be useless? Does that represent value?

Companies like xiaomi market good specs and let the buyer define affordability and value.

Tecno markets cheap price and lets the buyer figure out the value.

Im not evem impressed with a modern device having an octacore chipset with 3gb RAM but with a rubbish Mali450 GPU. Not when Snapgragon phones from xiaomi and elephone have Adreno 420s. Mali450 is like Adreno 305!

That's a very obvious sign of cutting corners.

muh4lyf:
Nobody gathered against GEJ... GEJ messed up so Nigerians kicked him out with their PVCs... If saraki should go millions of Kwaran's would jubilate...

Really? So APC is not a gathering? Or the millions of nigerians who voted for APC against PDP are not a gathering?

Hmm. Must consult dictionary.

warrior01:
I can't wait for the case to start fully. Watched as they all gathered against Gej, oh God! Thank you for letting me see as they scatter thus fulfilling your word .

They gathered against GEJ and booted him back to the stone age in otuoke.

So also wil they kick out this minor irritant who chose to dance with the devil

Haha relax i'm pro buhari, and i cant stand igboe, but i know the man more than most, being close to his paternal family. He's sincere, he's determined, but he's not politically astute since he was never much of a politician and that's my point.

And what nigeria needs right now is exactly this sort of man, since politicians dragged us to this mess.

mrvitalis:
Buhari is now showing he too can play politics. ... .. But he is borrowing Jonathan style... . When Jonathan wants to deal with someone he travels abroad. ...
.. This very funny..#Party supremacy

Buhari may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but i dont think even he can be this daft. Most likely his loyalists are the ones gunning for Saraki's head. Even GEJ's mess was occasioned by overzealous aides and wife.

As for Saraki, Shakespeare warned you: "Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown."

BlackrulesDworld:
How dirty the sheriff is should matter because its obvioys he might be using the power bestowed on him to manipulate is victim. Dont get me wrong though, I want saraki to be probe and sanctioned. If the prosecution is transparent and free of favour to the victim involved then I bet he cant go free.

The people of kwaras' are slaves to the Saraki's family. They need this justice ASAP.

The hypothetical dirty Sheriff arrests, and then prosecutes.

There his job ends.

Whether the suspect is guilty is reserved for judgment, an area outside of the Sheriff's sphere of influence.

In any case, we'd perpetually be stuck mouthing off fighting corruption if we dont start now, and if we insist only Franciscan monks do the fighting for us.
