GPRS: General Packet Radio Service. It is a 2G (2nd Generation) technology. It is the first data solution introduced on GSM that is packet switched
EDGE: Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution. Enhanced GPRS. 2.5G technology
UMTS: Universal Mobile Telecommunications System. 3G
HSDPA: High-Speed Downlink Packet Access. It is enhanced 3G also called 3.5G

You may not notice any difference in speed on most networks because the operators are cheating us. While the specified speeds are achievable between you and the BTS or NodeB (that is where you see the mast) the networks introduce bottlenecks along the path that make it almost impossible to reach the speed limit.

Professional Masters is a terminal degree while Academic Masters is a step towards a PhD.

It depends on what you want to do afterwards. If you intend to leave the university environment completely and work in the industry then go for Professional Masters. If you intend to continue in the university/academic environment, doing research and things like that then go for Academic Masters.

Our security system was not designed to protect everybody. The British designed it to protect themselves while they exploited their colony. They handed it over to the Nigerian elite who now use it to protect themselves and their families and interests. That is why most of our mobile policemen are deployed to protect one bigman, oyibo or their families and girlfriends.

One then wonders, what about the rest of us? Who is protecting us?

We need to redesign our security system in a way that will make everybody feel safe. Our security system is so bad that the police and military are involved in most high profile crimes such as oil bunkering, kidnapping and now terrorism.

The heart of any functional security system is the people. Nobody can plan implement bombing at the scale Boko Haram is doing without some people knowing about it. The problem is if you know about it would you really go to a policeman to report it? He might be part of the whole scheme. Even if he is not part of them, he might arrest you and charge you with all manner of crimes until you pay them money to release you.

The police especially have so alienated themselves from the public that even when crimes are committed in broad daylight, people are afraid to report what they saw to police.

We need to redesign our security system. Sack a lot of people in the police and retrain and equip the remaining ones. Of course we need to make the police force more appealing to intelligent people. The army, navy and airforce are already making changes, it is the turn of the police to reform.

First an observation. Most good women I know will not ask a man to cook unless he really wants to or she is too ill to do it. The bad ones see it as an issue of equal rights struggle. "Afterall you go to work and I go to work why should I cook?". This same type of women will never accept to do anything traditionally done by men but will want to coarce the man to take up the feminine roles as well.

Now my opinion. I think it should not really be an issue. Both parties should be willing to help and cover for one another especially when there is real need for it. That is how two people become one.
