As a born again Christian who is meant to speak the truth at all times, i support the federal government on regulating the social media. Nnamdi kanu that is hiding in far away UK is still instigating and propagating treasonous acts via social media and his gullible followers are seriously cheering him on. Busola Dakolo is another example of why social should be banned in Nigeria. Every one blamed the lovely pastor biodun until the court threw the useless case in the trash can. Social media has done a lot of damages to Nigeria and it's a danger to our unity considering the fact that Nigeria's unity is non negotiable. This is the reason why i love countries like Saudi Arabia and North Korea . Those countries will not allow the kind of privilege we enjoy in this country and it's good for their development. I commend Lai Muhammad and president Buhari for this nice move

No sense

Paypal is too close with US government and western powers for my likeness, they basically help US , when it was annouced that indian programmers and freelancers are getting a very huge chunk of software freelancing contracts world wide, Paypal stoped opreation in india giving silly excusses, same way they wont enter Nigerian market even as we remain second largest economy in Africa, they kept giving filmsy excusses

I trust Zuckerberg to rise above the western bullies, just like his space x satelite lunch that was to provide free facebook to africans sudenly crashed and he started all over again, am sure he wouldnt stop his libra plans over some western bullies

If not for Zuckerberg being Jew, unlike the useless american Paypal, Nigeria wouldnt have being included in any social media, they would simply block our I.P or remove Nigeria from the registration form, or make it premium without accepting Nigeria Debit Card

Twenty-one students of the Osun State University, who were arrested by the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission last Thursday, have been released.

The arrest of the students in their various hostels in the Oke Baale area of Osogbo by a team from the Ibadan zonal office of the anti-graft agency led to a protest by fellow students, who blocked the Osogbo/Ibokun Road and set up bonfires.


They were later dispersed by men of the Osun State Police Command, who removed the items used to block the road.

Security sources told our correspondent on Sunday that the students were released after they were profiled by the EFCC operatives in Ibadan.

One of the sources added that the social media accounts of the students as well as their phones and other gadgets were checked and were found not to be involved in Internet fraud.


It was also learnt that an employee of the institution, whose identity was not made public, who was arrested for filming how the students were being arrested, had also been released.

Speaking with our correspondent on Sunday, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Administration and Development, UniOsun, Prof. Janet Olaitan, confirmed the release of the students.

“So far, so good; all the 21 students arrested have been released,” she stated.

Commenting on the release of their fellow students, two undergraduates of the university, who preferred anonymity, berated the anti-graft body for the way their mates were apprehended.


They claimed that the affected students were arrested without any tangible evidence linking them to Internet fraud as alleged by the EFCC, adding that releasing them without pressing charges was a confirmation of the allegation of incessant harassment of students by security operatives.

They however, called for synergy between the university’s management and security operatives to fish out those students engaging in criminal activities.

Google gathered a star-studded cast of celebrities, including Alicia Keys, Laverne Cox, and Oprah Winfrey, to help celebrate Dr. Maya Angelou.
Today’s Doodle honoring the poet, civil rights activist, and author on what would have been her 90th birthday is nothing short of a masterpiece. When you click the homepage illustration, you’ll hear the words of Angelou’s empowering poem “Still I Rise” read aloud as drawings illustrating each line fill the screen. The recorded reading from Angelou is interspersed with sections read by Keys, Cox, Winfrey, America Ferrera, Martina McBride, and Angelou’s son, Guy Johnson.

“Maya Angelou is not what she has done or written or spoken, it’s how she did it all,” Winfrey told Google. “She moved through the world with unshakeable calm, confidence, and a fiery, fierce grace and abounding love.”
Angelou was born as Marguerite Annie Johnson in St. Louis, Missouri in 1928. At seven years old, she was raped by her mother’s boyfriend and, following the incident, was mute for six years. According to the National Women’s History Museum, it was during this time and throughout her teenage years that Angelou began writing essays and poetry. At 15, she repeatedly applied to become a street car conductor, but was initially rebuffed because of her race. Her persistence paid off and she eventually became the first African American to hold the role in San Francisco.

https://mediablare.com/google-celebrates-dr-maya-angelou-with-a-dazzling-doodle/

Angelou went on to work for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, a group founded by Martin Luther King Jr. She later pursued her interest in the arts as a member of the Harlem Writers Guild. Her best known book, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, was published in 1969 and nominated for the National Book Award.

Among Angelou’s numerous awards were the National Medal of Arts and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which former President Barack Obama awarded her in 2010. Angelou died four years later at the age of 86.

Like many of Angelou’s enduring works, “Still I Rise”, a poem about resilience and strength, still feels potent in 2018: “You may shoot me with your words/You may cut me with your eyes/You may kill me with your hatefulness/But still, like air, I’ll rise.”

The idea of Android emulators isn’t new, considering they’ve been around for some time now. Regardless of cell phones getting less expensive, individuals still do want to have the capacity to run Android applications on their work area/PC gadgets. In this perspective, one name that has been unmistakable as far back as the idea of Android copying became possibly the most important factor is Bluestacks. Bluestacks Player was the first and outstanding amongst other Android emulators made accessible for Windows and macOS that enabled its clients to have the capacity to run Android applications on their work area frameworks.

In any case, Bluestacks hasn’t possessed the capacity to stay aware of the stream of time and is never again an adequate Android emulator. The Android Player appears to have turned into a memory hogger, is never again steady, and offers absolute minimum highlights that let you simply encounter Android on your PC or Mac and nothing more. Diversions run slowly on the product, and there are no designer arranged highlights in the product. In case you’re somebody who has a similar feeling towards Bluestacks and is searching for a substitution, well at that point, you’re certainly in the correct place. Read on, as we convey to you our rundown of 5 best Bluestacks options that you can attempt:

Note: While there are a great deal of Android emulator alternatives out there, we attempted every one separately to figure out which ones are the most steady and offer comparable or preferred involvement over Bluestacks.

1. Remix OS Player
The first name on our list is the Remix OS Player. If you wish to avoid all the hassles of installing a new OS on your device, the Remix OS Player is the one for you. Remix OS Player is a free Android emulator for Windows based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

best_android_emulators_windows_PC_1
Remix OS Player is in most ways, one of the best Android emulators out there. Apart from carrying a ton of features such as button mapping, native Google Play support, manual settings for signal strength, network type, location, battery and more, what sets the emulator apart from the herd is how stable the software is. I’ve tried it on almost all the laptops I’ve owned and reviewed and never has the software let me down. Stability is a factor in which Bluestacks has always let me down, while Remix OS Player won me over in that very aspect.

2. Nox Player
If you’re someone who’s looking for a Bluestacks alternative that offers tons of features, well then, Nox Player is definitely the one you’re looking for.

Nox Player Interface

Gameplay optimizations, controller compatibility, ability to change the Android device’s build.prop, and a completely user-friendly interface are just some of the things where Nox Player outshines Bluestacks. It is based on Android Lollipop 5.1.1. and sports the Material UI. But one factor where Nox Player truly scores over Bluestacks is root access. If you’ve ever tried rooting Bluestacks, you’d know that it is a tedious task. But on Nox Player, you simply have to enable a toggle in the settings, and poof! – you’re rooted. That’s how simple Nox Player is for you.

3. MEmu Play
MEmu Play is another incredible Android emulator that has recently picked up a considerable measure of footing. Notwithstanding, it is an intense assignment to name a solitary or even two or three highlights why it is in this way, considering MEmu comes stacked with a huge amount of highlights, and everything to like about. A standout amongst the most conspicuous highlights of the emulator is the way that it supports both Intel and AMD CPUs. As amazing as it might sound, it is an element not donned by numerous Android emulators out there, including Bluestacks.

Apart from that, the emulator comes with the ability to run multiple instances at once. Furthermore, the software supports Android JellyBean (4.2), Kit Kat (4.4), and Lollipop (5.0), all while allowing you to have three different windows for all three versions. While the emulator also has great optimizations for gameplay unlike Bluestacks, it is very much dedicated to Android developers, simply for the plethora of developer-oriented features it comes with.

4. Andy
Andy is an Android emulator you’ve probably heard of, considering it was launched right around the same time as Bluestacks had started gaining popularity. Once hailed as Bluestacks only competitor, the software is still going strong, and has left its nemesis in the dust when it comes to recent features.

Andy is a simple Android emulator, built with a neat and clean UI. While gaining root access on the emulator is still a cumbersome process, much like Bluestacks itself, the emulator allows you to use your Android device as a controller for games. It also has multi-touch support, access to your local file-system, app sync for mobile, sensor integration, and much more. While the software hasn’t been updated in quite some time now, it is still a very capable Android emulator based on Android JellyBean 4.2.2 and offers everything that Bluestacks does and then some.

5. KoPlayer
KoPlayer is an Android emulator that you probably haven’t heard of it. Unlike other Android emulators that are targeted for developers, or emulators such as Bluestacks that are designed to give the normal Android experience without any decent optimizations, KoPlayer is an Android emulator with a prime focus on mobile gaming.

KoPlayer offers its users the ability to use keymapping to emulate a controller with your keyboard. Players will also be able to record gameplay and upload it wherever they want. KoPlayer is based on Android KitKat 4.4, and the install process is much easier than Bluestacks and it seems to work alright. While the software is kind of buggy in its current state, experiencing a couple of crashes at times, the development team is hard at work and proves itself as a worthy alternative to Bluestacks.

North Korea has fired another ballistic missile, the latest in a series of launches that have raised tensions with its neighbors and the US.

The Pentagon said it believed it was an intercontinental ballistic missile that flew for about 1,000km (620 miles) and fell into the Sea of Japan.

South Korean news agency Yonhap said that the missile was launched from Pyongsong, South Pyongan province.
North Korea’s last ballistic missile test was in September.
That came days after Pyongyang had conducted its sixth – and largest – nuclear test.

The US said the latest launch happened at about 03:30 local time (18:30 GMT).

North Korea’s missile programme
Japanese government officials said the missile traveled for about 50 minutes but did not fly over Japan, as some have done in the past.

US President Donald Trump was briefed while the missile was still in the air, the White House has said. Afterwards he said: “We will take care of it.”
South Korea’s military said it had responded to the launch with a missile exercise of its own.

Condemnation of the launch was swift:
The Japanese government said they would “never accept North Korea’s continuous provocative behavior”

The EU called the launch a “further unacceptable violation” of North Korea’s international obligations.

The North is thought to be focusing efforts on building long-range missiles with the potential of reaching the mainland continental US.

Pyongyang officials said the first of the longer-range missiles it tested in July could hit “any part of the world”, but the US military called it an intermediate-range missile instead.

Its last nuclear test reportedly involved a miniaturized hydrogen bomb that could be loaded on to a long-range missile, raising tensions with the US even further.

Last week, President Trump announced that the US was re-designating North Korea a state sponsor of terrorism because of its missile and nuclear programme.

The US later US imposed fresh sanctions against Pyongyang. The measures targeted North Korean shipping operations and Chinese companies that traded with Pyongyang.

The Wole Soyinka Centre For Investigative Journalism, WSCIJ, on Friday honoured female journalists who were part of its Female Reporters Leadership Fellowship Programme.

The award and appreciation programme, which saw the best three fellows receive special prizes, held at the Central Business District, CBD, GRA, Ikeja.

The Leadership Fellowship, supported by the Free Press Unlimited, was designed to empower female journalists with the skills, finesse, support and tools to take bold steps that help position them for the highest leadership roles in their various media houses.

According to the organisation, the initiative, which is a part of the WSCIJ Report Women programme, is helping to mobilise a network of female journalists that are oriented for leadership as well as create a train-the-trainer team who better appreciate the importance of mainstreaming gender in news.

The pilot exposure included a three-day training, three-month mentorship, a fair-share as well as leadership and story fellowship projects for 15 fellows spanning over six months.

Speaking at the award ceremony, Motunrayo Alaka, the programme director at the centre, explained that the media is like a magic mirror which reflects the society. Mrs. Alaka explained that the media also has the capacity to go into that mirror and make changes as it can set agenda, narratives and frame perspectives.

“The media itself has its own challenges and one of those things is the gender issues,” she explained.

“In management position, it is a 9-1 ratio in many media houses; many media houses don’t have women in their management (cadre). So how does the media set agenda for gender balance when it does not live gender balance?

“The programme is meant to help the media become what it wants the society to become. The media must be able to walk the path that they are preaching and we want to help the media set the agenda. There is an imbalance in leadership,” she said.

She, however, added that the project was not meant to promote matriarchy but to sensitise the media on imbalance in the different structures across newsrooms.

“This is not a women-take-over initiative; not a move from patriarchy to matriarchy but to address the imbalance in leadership in the media… (but) to address how the media write stories – political and social – to reflect society and shape the narrative,” she reiterated.

“The party thinks that Buhari’s presence in the Southeast will make the Igbo vote for the APC in 2019. That is not possible, except they rig the election. The Igbo are wiser now. Those people talking about supporting the APC so that we can have Igbo presidency in 2023 should forget about it.

“They should stop deceiving themselves. My message for Ndigbo is that they should not take that bait. When the party was campaigning for election, they promised to revive the coal corporation in Enugu. But we have not seen anything except a visit by some officials. We have terrible roads and they are not interested in any meaningful project in Igbo land. They can’t destroy the Igbo. They tried it for three years and it did not work.

“The Igbo should not take that bait from a party that promised so many things and did nothing. What is the assurance that they will be committed to the promise when they are re-elected? That is even the time Buhari will tell the Igbo to go to hell because he will not be seeking re-election.

US President Donald Trump said in a tweet on Friday he is putting a decision to allow imports of elephant trophies on hold until he can “review all conservation facts.”

The rule released on Friday allowing hunters who kill elephants in Zimbabwe to bring their trophies back to the United States outraged animal activists.

“Put big game trophy decision on hold until such time as I review all conservation facts. Under study for years,” Mr Trump wrote, adding he would take it up with Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke.

Early word of the planned change had drawn protests from conservationists, who said it could deplete already at-risk elephant populations. It also caused a social media firestorm, with opponents posting photos of President Donald Trump’s sons Donald Jr. and Eric, avid hunters, posing with dead wild animals.

Tanya Sanerib, senior attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, said on Friday in a statement: “It’s great that public outrage has forced Mr Trump to reconsider this despicable decision, but it takes more than a tweet to stop trophy hunters from slaughtering elephants and lions. We need immediate federal action to reverse these policies.”Amid the backlash to reports that the move would apply to two southern African countries — Zimbabwe and neighboring Zambia — White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said it was due to a review by career officials at the US Fish and Wildlife Service which began back in 2014 under the previous administration of Democratic President Barack Obama.

“This review established that both Zambia and Zimbabwe had met new standards, strict, international conservation standards, that allowed Americans to resume hunting in those countries,” Ms Sanders told reporters.

In an official notice published on Friday in the Federal Register, the US Fish and Wildlife Service said it had concluded that the killing of African elephants in Zimbabwe as trophies, between the dates of Jan. 21, 2016, and Dec. 31, 2018, “will enhance the survival of the African elephant.”
