Science/Technology / Developers Of Gbwhatsapp Officially Shuts It Down - Lite Tech Guide by JosWatchDog(m): 11:54am On Aug 02, 2019
GBWhatsApp officially Shuts Down: For some Android users, this may be the worst news of the century.

The almighty GBWhatsApp has officially being put to an end. GBWhatsApp is very popular and beats shoulder with the official WhatsApp.

Out of the 1billion+ people using Whatsapp, over 80million+ people use the moded WhatsApp (unofficial WhatsApp is better known as GBWhatsApp).

Earlier this year, WhatsApp INC warned users from using the GBWhatsApp as it risks their privacy. Same this year, WhatsApp started banning users of GBWhatsApp temporary.

The temporary ban issued to unofficial WhatsApp users is such an annoying one that won’t let you have a breathing space until you do away with it and install the official app.

After WhatsApp did this, developers of GBWhatsApp decided to top their game by setting up an anti-ban feature which will prevent GBWhatsApp users from being banned.

Did the anti-ban feature really save GBWhatsApp and its users?

For some time it worked, but did it still prevent the annoying WhatsApp temporary ban to take effect? NO!

Apart from the temporary ban, WhatsApp threatened to file a lawsuit against GBWhatsApp developers if they fail to bring down the platform.

What is GBWhatsApp?

Gbwhatsapp is an unofficial cloned copy of the original WhatsApp which themselves claimed that GBWhatsApp developers go against their terms of service and risks users privacy.
GBWhatsApp is used by over 80million+ people out of the 1billion users of WhatsApp worldwide.

Earlier this month, August 1st, 2019 the developers of GBWhatsApp announced the official closure of the app on their Telegram channel and will no longer give updates to the application.

According to GBModes Official on telegram, here is what they wrote:

We are really sorry to announce that we have completely stopped the development of GBWhatsApp. It was a great time with all you people. Sorry for the inconvenience. Hence we have Closed all the Site, Social Accounts, and Everything. There will be no further development.

GBWhatsApp can’t be found on Google play store because it’s not an official/authorized app.

You can only Download GBWhatsApp on third-party websites which at the end may lead to downloading of virus and other unwanted apps.

If you are a regular reader of tech news, you would understand that this war against GBWhatsApp developers started early this year and WhatsApp did not go easy on them until the needful was done.

Like is stated in my previous article, if you are still using GBWhatsApp and yet to get the temporary ban notification, worry not, you will receive yours soon because WhatsApp is sending out these bans in batch.

And if you still have the unofficial WhatsApp, henceforth, you will no longer get any update from the developers.

Science/Technology / See The Data Whatsapp Collects From You - Litetech Guide by JosWatchDog(m): 4:43pm On Jul 07, 2019
The Data WhatsApp Collects From You: If you are following up with tech breaking news, you would recall that in early April 2018, the giant social messaging platform, WhatsApp made it known that every registered user can now see the information they (WhatsApp) collects from them.

This means that WhatsApp has made it possible for users to personally see this very information by allowing users to easily download that hidden information which WhatsApp collects from them.

Though WhatsApp claimed that they don’t have access to your conversation, therefore they don’t listen to it.

The question now is, how true is this?

Well, worry no more with the latest WhatsApp update, users can now request to see these pieces of information which WhatsApp collect from its users by granting them access to request for the data and then download it directly to their phone for easy reading.

What Is WhatsApp Data Collection?
There is no specific definition for this, but with the research, I have carried out, I was able to come up with a better and simpler definition of the term “WhatsApp Data Collection”.

WhatsApp data collection is those hidden pieces of information which WhatsApp collects from its users without their consent.

What information does WhatsApp collect from me?
Below are the five (5) major information WhatsApp collects from its users:

1. Device Information

2. Your WhatsApp Information

Under this section, you will find information on the following data

Report Generation Time

Report Request Time

Phone Number

Name

Connection State

Online Since

Offline Since

Inactive Since

2018 Terms of Service

Accept Time

3. Registration Information

Here you will find the following data information

Platform

Network

Network Name

4. Settings

Under this section, you will see the following data

Profile Picture Upload Time

Contacts

The above-listed information is the data which WhatsApp collects from its users.

Out of curiosity, many online users have asked the following questions;

Can I request my WhatsApp data?

The Answer to that question is YES!. Just like I explained earlier, the giant social messaging platform, WhatsApp made it known that every user can now see the information they (WhatsApp) collects from them.

How do I download My WhatsApp data?

To download your own copy of the data which WhatsApp collects from you, follow the below steps

Step 1: Launch your WhatsApp Application.

Step 2: Tap on the 3 dots, click on Settings.

Step 3: Click on Account.

Step 4: Click on Request account info.

NOTE: It takes up to three (3) days before your data is sent to you.

After the 3rd day, a ZIP file will automatically be downloaded to your phone. After the file is downloaded, you will be notified then select Export report.

With all this, you may be wondering or wanting to ask; Is WhatsApp still secure?

Yes, WhatsApp is secured because the information collected is not disclosed to anyone else except you. Remember WhatsApp does not read or listen to your messages.

Phones / Delete For Everyone Now Available On Facebook Messenger (remove For Everyone) by JosWatchDog(m): 10:54am On Apr 27, 2019
Facebook Messenger now lets you “remove for everyone” (delete for everyone)

Facebook messenger has topped its game. This time around, Mark and his tech team have added the ability for users to delete messages they sent by mistake.

Just like the WhatsApp amazing feature “Delete for everyone” now you can do same on Facebook messenger.

You now have the ability to revoke and delete messages after you have sent it out to your friends.

The feature rolled out early 2019. Following up the test of this feature, I discovered you can delete a message you have sent to your friends on or before 8 minutes.

Just like on WhatsApp messenger app, when you mistakenly send a message or a wrong message, you will be provided with the option to delete it for yourself alone or for everyone within the space of 7 minutes.

Same now applies to Facebook messenger, when you send a message to the wrong person, you will now be able to delete it for yourself or for everyone.

In the case of the messenger, you won’t get the note like the popular notes on WhatsApp which reads “Delete for me”, “Delete for everyone” rather what you will see on your Facebook messenger is “Remove for me” and ” Remove for everyone”.

Wondering what these two notes mean?

1. Remove for me
2. Remove for everyone

Remove for me:

This feature allows you to delete a message you mistakenly sent to someone or your friend. From your own personal inbox meanwhile, the message will still appear in the inbox of the person you sent it to.

Some people do this when they feel they have sent a message that is not appropriate. For that reason, they don’t want that message to remind them of the pains or embarrassment it caused them. So they would prefer not to see the message in their inbox again even when they know full well that the message still appears in the inbox of the other person.

But who would still want to use that feature when the Facebook messenger has already made it possible for you to delete it in your inbox and the inbox of the other person when received it.

Remove for everyone:

This is the latest feature on Facebook messenger that I’m talking about. With this feature, you can now delete or revoke messages mistakenly sent to your friends without them seeing it (that’s if you are able to delete it on or before 8minutes).

When you mistakenly send an unwanted message to your friend or someone, with this feature you don’t need to worry again all you just have to do is to remove it for everyone.

How to delete for everyone on Facebook messenger

Want to remove message for everyone on Facebook messenger? Follow these simple steps

1. When you send the message to someone and discovered it was a wrong message, or there was a mistake.

2. Long press on the message and the option Remove for me or remove for everyone pops up.

3. Click on Remove for everyone and boom the message is deleted from your inbox and the inbox of the person you sent it to. While trying to remove it for everyone, you will get a prompt notification which reads


“You’ll permanently remove this message for all chat members. They can see you removed a message and still report it.”

Remove for everyone

This is indeed a nice feature especially for those found guilty of cheating or those chatting with the influence of alcohol.

Science/Technology / How To Play Whatsapp Voice Messages Privately - Litetechguide by JosWatchDog(m): 1:07pm On Apr 07, 2019
How To Play WhatsApp Voice Messages Privately: Whatsapp is no doubt the most used and preferred messaging app used globally by over 1 billion active users.

On my previous articles, I have explained how you can download the WhatsApp messenger on your Android device.

It’s very important to know that aside from the core feature of WhatsApp which is for messaging friends, family and loved ones, there is need to know its other features to enable you to enjoy the full potential of the app.

Among many features, one of the amazing features on WhatsApp is the voice note (voice messaging) feature that enables you to send voice notes to friends instead of the normal typing process.

Sometimes you just get tired of typing and all that comes to your mind is just to communicate through voice notes.

Believe me, the most fun part of it when the other person you are voice chatting or voice messaging with flows with that same vibe by replying back with a voice note. No doubt this is the best feeling ever.

It doesn’t just make you feel happy, it also makes it look like you are communicating one on one with that person (for those in a relationship or married) lol.

For lovers, let’s say you two are already having a good voice note conversation and at a point, you two got naughty and started saying a nasty thing. But at this point, one of you have gone public possibly for an errand or to get some pizza and your partner sends you a voice note while in the mall.

How would you want to play this voice note without a third-party hearing what was sent to you?

Another instance, in a situation you are in an important meeting or gathering, and you got a voice note message from a friend or a business partner and you want to really listen to it without the people around you hear it. How would you do that?

Without causing distraction or attracting all eyes on you, how would you want to play this voice note message?

Just as you may know, at default WhatsApp voice note messages play on your phone loudspeaker unless you are listening with an external earpiece. But what happens when you don’t have an earpiece at that moment, but really need to listen to that voice message?

Well worry not, on this article, I will show you how to listen to WhatsApp voice note in secret without the notice of a third-party.

How To Listen To WhatsApp Voice Note Without Loud Speaker

To listen to your voice note messages on WhatsApp, simply do the following:

When your friend(s) send you a voice note message, once you click on the play button, immediately place the phone to your ear like you are making a phone call, WhatsApp will automatically convert the voice note message to a call mode.

Therefore you will be able to listen to the voice note through your phone internal earpiece instead of the default loudspeaker which WhatsApp has set it to.

With this tip, I guess you can now comfortably and confidently listen to your WhatsApp voice note messages anywhere and at any time.

Business / Former Skye Bank, Now Polaris Bank, Is Up For Sale Again by JosWatchDog(m): 5:44pm On Jan 23, 2019
Polaris Bank will reportedly be put up for sale after the 2019 elections, coming months after it was taken over from Skye Bank. According to Reuters, this was disclosed by the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) spokesman, Jude Nwauzor, on Tuesday.

Speaking on plans for the sale of the bank, Nwauzor said:

“The election season has slowed down things. We would advertise for expressions of interest from investors after elections and commence the sale process”.

In September 2018, Godwin Emefiele, Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, had announced the revoking of the licence of defunct Skye Bank. Polaris was established as a bridge bank to assume the assets and liabilities of the bank.

Emefiele had said: “As a responsible and responsive regulator and in consultation with the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), we have decided to establish a bridge bank, Polaris Bank, to assume the assets and liabilities of Skye Bank.

The strategy is for the Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) to capitalise the Bridge Bank and begin the process of sourcing investors to buy out AMCON. By this decision, the licence of the defunct Skye Bank is hereby revoked.”

Business / Official Statement Of Diamond Bank Regarding Scheme To Merge With Access Bank by JosWatchDog(m): 11:50pm On Dec 17, 2018
The Board of Diamond Bank Plc (“Diamond Bank”) today announces that following a strategic review leading to a competitive process, the Board has selected Access Bank Plc (“Access Bank”) as the preferred bidder with respect to a potential merger of the two banks (“the merger”) that will create Nigeria and Africa’s largest retail bank by customers.

The Board of Diamond Bank believes that the merger is in the best interest of all stakeholders including, employees, customers, depositors and shareholders and has agreed to recommend the offer to Diamond Bank’s shareholders. Completion of the merger is subject to certain shareholder and regulatory approvals.

The proposed merger would involve Access Bank acquiring the entire issued share capital of Diamond Bank in exchange for a combination of cash and shares in Access Bank via a Scheme of Merger. Based on the agreement reached by the Boards of the two financial institutions, Diamond Bank shareholders will receive a consideration of N3.13 per share, comprising of N1.00 per share in cash and the allotment of 2 New Access Bank ordinary shares for every 7 Diamond Bank ordinary shares held as at the Implementation Date.

The offer represents a premium of 260% to the closing market price of N0.87 per share of Diamond Bank on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (“NSE”) as of December 13, 2018, the date of the final binding offer.

Immediately following completion of the merger, Diamond Bank would be absorbed into Access Bank and it will cease to exist under Nigerian law.

The current listing of Diamond Bank’s shares on the NSE and the listing of Diamond Bank’s global depositary receipts on the London Stock Exchange will be canceled, upon the merger becoming effective.

Diamond Bank expects the transaction to complete in the first half of 2019.

Uzoma Dozie, the Chief Executive Officer of Diamond Bank, said:

[b]“The proposed combination with Access Bank will create one of Africa’s leading financial institutions. There is a clear strategic rationale for the proposed merger and strong complementarities between the two institutions. While Diamond Bank has pioneered Nigeria’s largest technology-led retail banking platform, Access Bank is one of Nigeria’s leading full-service commercial banks. Consolidation in the Nigerian banking industry is an inevitable, natural progression in a sector where the gap between Tier 1 and Tier 2 banks has been widening and scale has become critical; where technology will disrupt the traditional business model while enabling broader financial inclusion. The board of Diamond Bank believes that the proposed combination of the two operations provides an exciting prospect for all stakeholders in both businesses and will create a financial institution with the scale, strength, and expertise to capitalise on the significant opportunities in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa more broadly.”[/b]

Herbert Wigwe, CEO of Access Bank, said:

[b] “Access Bank has a strong track record of acquisition and integration and has a clear growth strategy. Access Bank and Diamond Bank have complementary operations and similar values, and a merger with Diamond Bank, with its leadership in digital and mobile-led retail banking, could accelerate our strategy as a significant corporate and retail bank in Nigeria and a Pan-African financial services champion. Access Bank has a strong financial profile with attractive returns and a robust capital position with 20.1% CAR as at 30 September 2018. We believe that this platform, together with the two banks’ shared focus on innovation, financial inclusion, and sustainability, can bring benefits to Access Bank and Diamond Bank customers, staff and shareholders.”Exotix Capital acted as international financial advisor to Diamond Bank, and Templars acted as Nigerian legal counsel.This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU 596/2014) (“MAR”) and is disclosed in accordance with Diamond Bank’s obligations under Article 17 of MAR.[/b]

It's been a long time coming and I am grateful to God for the present and excited for the future.
We are joined together as one, not only because we love each other but because we looked at our imperfect past, plans, insights, and decided to join forces for the future.
I will tell your story, Rente Ade to the world, how amazing, a woman you are. I will preach about you to any and everyone who cares to listen.
You are the definition of sobriety in a noisy world. You are the peace and calm in a raging storm! You know the story, right?
Happy Married Life to US!

Crime / I Killed My Neighbours Son Because His Father Damaged Her Womb - Nigerian Lady by JosWatchDog(m): 2:59pm On Dec 16, 2018
One Chinenye Ndubuife who reportedly murdered her neighbor’s 2-year-old son has revealed she killed him because his father damaged her womb.

According to reports, Ndubuife, who lived with her mother in the same compound with the married man, Samuel Promise, had hit the child’s head against a wall and then used a stone to crush him.

It was learnt that the suspect had asked another child to call the victim identified as Wisdom Promise, whose body she allegedly dumped in the toilet.

According to sources, the suspect was bitter against the boy’s father who she allegedly had series of abortions for, during their secret affair.

The woman was said to have told the police that she lost her womb as a result of the abortions she had for Promise and wanted him to feel the pain and spend money on treating the boy.

It was gathered that Ndubuife said she only wanted to injure Wisdom, but had to dump his body in the toilet, when she realised he was dead. Confirming the incident, Police spokesman Chike Oti, said it was reported at Trinity Police Station.
