The Lagos State Government has said it would uphold the Rule of Law to ensure Lagosians go about their normal businesses in any part of the State without fear or molestation.

This comes against the background of a strike threat issued by a faction of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), protesting the new pump price of petroleum.

In a statement signed on Tuesday 17th May, 2016 by the Honourable Attorney-General/ Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Adeniji Kazeem, the Government gave a stern warning against purported threats from certain quarters to disturb Public Peace by forcing workers to stay at home against their wish and the law.

The release stated that following the ruling on Tuesday of the National Industrial Court on Tuesday in Abuja barring the NLC from proceeding with the strike action, it has become unlawful for any person or group to either disrupt free movement of people and vehicles or prevent normal business activities

The State Government assures Lagosians that adequate security measures have been put in place to ensure the safety of lives and property.

The Government said the Commissioner of Police and other Heads of Security Agencies have been directed to maintain law and order in accordance with the Rule of Law.

The Government reiterates that it is committed to the protection of lives and property and the welfare of the people and therefore calls on all citizens to go about their normal businesses and report any threat or act of intimidation to the appropriate authorities.

The State Government also appeals to parents to warn their children and wards, particularly the vulnerable ones, not to allow themselves to be used or manipulated.

Thank God for you! And for the 'slot' (not 'slut')

Great article!

Wow! I will get there.

But Yeah! I have an experience too.

I was the Zone Coordinator of NCCF in one of the Niger Delta State. I was selected even without experience of being the head of any fellowship. Six other Corps Members/set were reporting to me as the leader and I was the youngest amongst all - under 25 whereas some of the excos were almost 30 or a little above

Ways God helped me are simple:

let them know who is in charge (not bossing all around o)

don't always seek for their opinion when the situation requires you to call the shots (I discuss with the Assistant/Secretary on this but not ALL excos),

Always ask for input in meetings and consider all suggestions in equal weight for unanimous agreement

Be transparent

Be accountable

Communicate always

Delegate and have confidence in their abilities

Pray always for them

Never sideline anyone or create a lopehole on your part that anyone can point accusing fingers at

Always adhere to the instructions of the Holy Spirit

Nice

Bro, I wasn't addressing you. And I wasn't asking for free credits up and down, let alone asking from you. I had an sms portal I use before that doesn't deliver sms to glo lines and doesn't deliver to lines that are switched off at that time. I bought a lot of units from them that are almost useless since I can't guarantee 100% delivery. I sent a lot of sms on behalf on my company and this hurts my reputation with my boss if I can't deliver ALL the messages. So is it a crime if I try a portal before plunging in deep? You fail to read where I wrote what is the minimum amount one can buy. I'm actually ready to buy smaller amounts. It's for my testing purposes. Once bitten twice shy.

Please know how to address people. I don't know you, you don't know me. I'm just making my enquiries and you're jumping into matters you're not invited to.

I was reading this and I was just smiling. No hard feelings bro. I wrote on a light mood o! And I am very sorry if you took it the other way. Please forgive me jooor. Mo beg ni o!

I'm sorry for your initial experience. I know how it feels.

Anyway sha... Back to business of the day. Some sites I listed can actually sell below what's quoted on the pricing page (I'm not so sure of two) but at a different price quoted as well. Typing in the number of units in the buy-units page will automatically bring out the price if you are to pay with your CARD.

But, nevermind going through the troubles. @yomalex has offered 50 free (I presume) units for testing. I suggest you take it. It's a good offer. Go test it out and please, like I said, I only wrote on a light mood... no hard feelings bro.

Grace!

Readability of that blog is very poor on PC. Try darkening the font or change it.

And also check how it has impacted on readership so far. Using Google Analytics, check your daily bounce rate. Is the homepage the most visited? Are mobile users staying longer than PC users? ETC

Nice design by the way. It's unique!

lanre316:
Upon registration, do you give some free units for testing your services and what is the minimum one can buy

Oga, is it free units you need or reliable, quality, and professional service?

With the way things are, nobody wants to waste even a single unit but some are managing to give out at least 1 UNIT. If you really want to send bulk sms and not testing here and there, you will go for a good one

For now those I know and I have tested and owned by peeps here are (in no particular order)

www.smsnaija247.com, www.kudisms.net, , www.dailysmsng.com, www.utexta.com plus others already stated.

Only a visit to these websites will convince you of how professional they can be in rendering service. Some are big already with big clients who trust them and use their service.

One thing I know for sure, they are 1UNIT = I SMS and are not deceitful about it!

They are transparent about how they charge and very good in keeping communication with clients. So patronise them today and stop looking for free credits upandan!

This is a call to all websites using wordpress... Even some themes are vulnerable. If you cannot hide your Theme Name, at least use a security plugin or change the admin area to the blog. I get to see a lot of www.yourwebsite.com/wp-admin as the back end. now that's appalling. You have a lot of resources on how to change that with the help of a plugin.

Wordpress is awesome in building a website. Even almighty CNN website is running on WordPress (but you'll never know) and that fact has been blocked out. Looking at the source page will reveal nothing.

I still wonder why a high profile web like that will make use of wordpress to power that part of the site. It's like GTB using wordpress for her website (many money go don miss)

Quite Interesting...

Mossack Fonseca (MF), the Panamanian law firm at the center of the so called Panama Papers Breach may have been breached via a vulnerable version of Revolution Slider. The data breach has so far brought down the Prime Minister of Iceland and surrounded Russian President Putin and British Prime Minister David Cameron with controversy, among other famous public figures. It is the largest data breach to journalists in history, weighing in at 2.6 terabytes and 11.5 million documents.

Forbes have reported that MF was giving their customers access to data via a web portal running a vulnerable version of Drupal. We performed an analysis on the MF website and have noted the following:

The MF website runs WordPress and is currently running a version of Revolution Slider that is vulnerable to attack and will grant a remote attacker a shell on the web server.

Viewing this link on the current MF website to a Revolution Slider file reveals the version of revslider they are running is 2.1.7. Versions of Revslider all the way up to 3.0.95 are vulnerable to attack.

Mossack Fonseca running vulnerable Revolution Slider



It appears that MF have now put their site behind a firewall which would protect against this vulnerability being exploited. This is a recent change within the last month.

Looking at their IP history on Netcraft shows that their IP was on the same network as their mail servers.

ViewDNS.info further confirms that this was a recent move to protect their website:

Screen Shot 2016-04-07 at 10.09.51 AM

According to service crawler Shodan, one of the IP’s on their 200.46.144.0 network runs Exchange 2010 mail server which indicates this network block is either their corporate network or at the very least has a range of IT assets belonging to the company. We also show they’re running VPN remote access software.

You can view the IP addresses used for email for MF below which are all on the same network block:

Screen Shot 2016-04-07 at 10.01.52 AM

To summarize so far:

We’ve established that they were (and still are) running one of the most common WordPress vulnerabilities, Revolution Slider.
Their web server was not behind a firewall.
Their web server was on the same network as their mail servers based in Panama.
They were serving sensitive customer data from their portal website which includes a client login to access that data.
A theory on what happened in the Mossack Fonseca breach:

A working exploit for the Revolution Slider vulnerability was published on 15 October 2014 on exploit-db which made it widely exploitable by anyone who cared to take the time. A website like mossfon.com which was wide open until a month ago would have been trivially easy to exploit. Attackers frequently create robots to hit URLs like : http://mossfon.com/wp-content/plugins/revslider/release_log.txt

Once they establish that the site is vulnerable from the above URL the robot will simply exploit it and log it into a database and the attacker will review their catch at the end of the day. It’s possible that the attacker discovered they had stumbled across a law firm with assets on the same network as the machine they now had access to. They used the WordPress web server to ‘pivot’ into the corporate assets and begin their data exfiltration.

Technical details of the vulnerability in Revolution Slider

This is a brief technical summary from one of our analysts describing the nature of the vulnerability in Revolution Slider that was exploited.

Revolution Slider (also known as Slider Revolution) version 3.0.95 or older is vulnerable to unauthenticated remote file upload. It has an action called `upload_plugin` which can be called by an unauthenticated user, allowing anyone to upload a zip file containing PHP source code to a temp directory within the revslider plugin.

The code samples below point you to where the specific problem is in revslider. Note that the revslider developer is allowing unprivileged users to make an AJAX (or dynamic browser HTTP) call to a function that should be used by privileged users only and which allows the creation of a file an attacker uploads.

A demonstration of Revolution Slider being exploited

The following video demonstrates how easy it is to exploit the Revolution Slider vulnerability on a website running the newest version of WordPress and a vulnerable version of Revolution Slider.



Conclusion

As a courtesy we have reached out to Mossack Fonseca to inform them about the Slider Revolution vulnerability on their site and have not yet received a response. They appear to be protected against it being exploited, or perhaps re-exploited in this case but the WordPress plugin on the site still needs updating.

To protect your WordPress installation it is critically important that you update your plugins, themes and core when an update becomes available. You should also monitor updates for security fixes and give those the highest priority. You can find out if a WordPress plugin includes a security update by viewing the changes in the “Changelog”.

In this case the site owners did not update for some time and it resulted in world leaders being toppled and the largest data breach to journalists in history.

OP, we need talk abeg!

ElrayKhalifah:
Hmmm......KUDOS, and some wailers go still talk say dem never learn from this...
^Naija zombies anyway

Bro are u talking seriously right now? Like really really serious? Wetin concern wailers with this talk now?

7:15 Pm, I'm on a bus about to commute to the Mainland part of Lagos from Obalende. This handsome, young guy comes to the window two seats rear my position and starts speaking impeccable English - "Please help me, I'm a student. I just need transport fare, I'm stranded. Please in the name of God, help me. If I lie, God will judge. I need help, I'm stranded here and I'm a student."

At that point I thought I needed to do something. At least, I've been (and I am) a student and I should empathize with him. The bus was about to make its move to the high and revered Third Mainland Bridge and the timing of the young 'helpee' was just perfect. In split seconds (well, more than that anyway) I recalled another particular 'young-old man' who would always replicate this similar act of plea but his recurrent lines were something like "Please, I have beans here in nylon (holds something out in a nicely wrapped light polythene) and I need 'buredi' (bread) to eat together with the beans". Though he says it in the Yoruba language, the lines are always the same every time I happen to see him. I think people already know him and therefore ignore him because his usual darkened lips gave him away as a perpetual smoker.

Talking about darkened lips, (and back to our student) the similarity was so daunting and crystal. I could not help but take a second look at him (as my hands have been triggered by my mind to reach for my wallet) and I decided to reprocess the information supplied by our 'student'...

1) He is stranded... But where is the destination the 'tfare' is needed for?
2) He is a student... Can he supply an ID Card to support that unanimous claim?
3) Let God be the judge... The judge of who? The potential helper or the 'helpee'

Before my hands could reach my wallet, I popped a question from where I sat.

" Can you show us your ID card?"

Apparently, he didn't hear me (as I'm one who don't talk too much and so loud). But the lady right in front of me repeated the question to his hearing, same did two other persons as the bus had almost began it course.

But ladies and gentlemen, our dear 'student' then displayed his true self. He spoke to the last lady who said the question I asked:
"God punish you! God go judge you. Get out joorrr. God will judge you and your family"

Our dear 'student' changed his steps o! He stepped away hurriedly and bouncing away his real self, he ranted with his darkened lips that have presumably romanced the vocal core of popular tobacco brands. Our bus moved.

It is good to give, but to the right people who deserve it - not people who'll use it to charge their societal destruction on law-abiding citizens. Yes. I give, but to those in obviously stranded situations or I simply give/pay more for a product/service of those I see are really trying to make ends meet. My room mate back in the days during college (and a close friend now) has taught me how to give non-monetarily to roadside help seekers that I'm convinced about: simply get them what they want to use the money for. Food? Buy it if it's sold around and give. 'Tfare' let them board the bus and you pay the conductor.

and so on as u wish.

Go for .com

DMeanMan:
Yeah!!!

I got this every time I told people my Final year project was "The production of pencil"

The product is simple....but the technology is

I spent over 90K and couldn't see the project through.


Like many advanced countries, Nigeria import pencil. It's pathetic, I know.


That the government has recognized the potential in having a pencil production factory is commendable!

Intelligent folks here will know that the proposed factory would be servicing the international market, not just Nigeria!

At the bolded, do you mean you had to abandon the project? I would love to know to how produce such. If the FG is waiting till 2018, why can't someone just start now!?

Why are the youths so bent on criticising, blaming, and expecting the government to do everything.

Guy, please, what is the logistics behind it and how much will it cost?

2sexycom:
You know, when you folks talk like this, you just make me laugh. And who said she can't earn more than her counterparts? My uncle is currently one of the biggest transporter in Lagos, he never went to the UNIVERSITY like you did because the opportunity wasn't there. He bought his mansion for 200million. you read that? 200million. He built a school for his wife and it was MASSIVE. You have probably seen his bus before and if I mention it here, everyone will know his transport line.


But no guts, no glory.

Young man please understand me. It is good you earn all the money. It is possible you she earns more. But you gotta know that the inherent message is 'never get idle' or ' explore other ventures' or ' be creative in labour' and NOT 'be richer than your peers' or 'even without education money abounds in plenty than school'

For us adults we can filter and take what we want but for the generations coming after us, we should send the right message that this life, it's not only when u work in big firms that your future will be guaranteed. There is dignity of labour and this lady has rightly explored that.

LastMumu:
So because she is driving a cab she thinks she is better than her counterparts earning 'peanuts' from accounting firms?

Although I admire her spirit, I believe her viewpoint above is rather myopic.

Bro u just took it out of my mouth!

I admire her o! I love the spirit.

But if the glory is that she earns more than her counterparts, then purpose is defeated.

Stubborn boy

He will. Words are powerful!

For me I think whatever will happen will surely happen... But the guy will surely have this message ringing in his head and may control any likely occurrences

Guy: Hey, babe

Girl: Hi, baby

Guy: What if I told you my ex wanted to see me and we were planning to hang out?

Girl: I wouldn't say anything

Guy: ...you wouldn't?

Girl: No, I wouldn't

Guy: Why not?

Girl: Because I trust you

Guy: But do you trust her?

Girl: Honestly? I don't give a Bleep about her. It's not about me trusting her, it's about me trusting you. Of course she wants to see you. She's your ex. She'll miss you from time to time. That's what ex girlfriends do. Obviously, she knows you and I are together, and all that matters to me is that you know we're together now, too. I trust you enough to know if she tries to lean in for a kiss, you'll back off or stop her and tell her she shouldn't do that. I trust you enough to know if she tries to randomly get on top of you, you'll push her off and tell her to cut it out and it isn't appropriate. I trust you enough to know that if she tries to sleep with you, you'll get up and walk away. At least, I hope I can trust you. I'm not trying to be that girlfriend who tells you who you can't see and who you can't talk to. I'm not trying to be that girlfriend who's controlling and makes decisions for you. I'm not trying to be that girlfriend who doesn't trust her man enough to know what's right from wrong. So if you want to see your ex and feel like you two can have a normal functioning friendship, then go ahead. If you know that some things might happen if you two are around each other, then you know you shouldn't and how that would make me feel. Again, I'm not going to tell you what to do. But I will say this; if something does happen and you allowed it to happen, you'll lose me and I won't even think twice about leaving you. Am I stupid for trusting you? Maybe, because most girls wouldn't. Am I uncomfortable with you being with her? Maybe, considering how she used to mean something to you, or I don't know if she still does. Am I going to trust you despite all of that? Yes, because I love you and that's how it's supposed to be. I know you love me enough to not hurt like that way. At least, I hope you do.
