Looking at the recent arrest of high profile Yahoo boys Obiwanne there have been alot of conspiracy theorist about how his nairaland account played into this and I want to help.seperate facts from fiction.
Before I go further let me drop a bit of a clue into why I am doing this. I know someone who helps with digital forensic profiling or individuals, for NGOs, Embassies, law enforcement and such
For instance a recuritment firm hiring for an international NGO like Oxfam might want to vet the final list of candidates and this recruiting firm will send such a list to.him to screen out the red flags like , Religious hate, tribal hate, anti-Semitism , Homophobia etc..
Sometimes embassies who receive asylum applications from individuals claiming to be gay or whatnot send such lists to certain firms who engage my services to vet..
This individual traces digital foot prints and profile you... Even if it's one of your numerous Facebook, Nairaland, or Myspace account where you commented on how you hate bobrisky or how you wish gays are killed or how you wish , yorubas are wiped out by fulani herdsmen or how you believe ibos are pigs or how you think hausa fulani are all evil ... depending on what your applied for or the information the company is looking for It will all show in your report ...
Sometimes companies request for certain information, like how this candidate leans in regards to violence against women.. so if you have ever made a post with one of your nairaland accounts in the romance section saying how some women deserve to be slapped or beaten well it will be found
I know you are wondering how possible this is when you may have even closed these accounts hence they read as nobody or deleted the posts on Facebook or opened over 200 accounts so you think surely it can't be traced ?
It can and it is very easy to do if you know how.. I won't go into details because that way you will know how to be totally anonymous hence making the person's work.harder so no.
But just know that you should keep track of people who follow you on this platform
Some of you whom I follow know why I do that.
My point is , all these TRIBALISM and Religious hate posts you make will only work against you in the ever competitive Nigerian employment market
As at last week Sage announced to their staff they are leaving Nigeria, so you have more professionals coming to join the unemployment market .
Alot of you who are in school posting tribal hate thinking for now you don't need a job just an internship well... Don't get discouraged when you don't get called up or retained afterwards
My advise start censoring yourself or live with the consequences.cheers

You're very very correct, we're no longer faceless as we thought and the case of Obi is an eye opener, this guy was even in Forbes list, giving tedx talk, slaying on social media and still has dirts rolled up in his shirts, I came across the attached on Twitter this morning, I showed it to a friend and we laugh and grin.
This is definitely the Genesis, I remember this guy well well with my old moniker, he started as a legit hustler but needed more so he went rogue, I've been to his old blog, so from internet rat to entering Forbes list and start giving Tedx talk haq haq haq... Halleluyaaaah!
Jayslicky: If you have ever experienced real hunger you wouldn't blame this man, my roommate during university days cooked and ate a meal by himself in a dream, woke up the next morning to ask for the remaining part of the food.
I can imagine the way he will ask you confidently.
The trending video has generated a lot of controversies on why a man should be eating in such an environment, while others believe its degrading and giving Africans a bad image in the international communities, others felt there is nothing in the man trying to have a bite on his way to work considering the fact that he might have been late to eat at home hence the reason to improvised.
TmKonzept: Wow, Please can you be more explicit about this, Like who was the union president then??
The union was proscribed around that time, it was the year the election that led to the candidacy of Akinola Saburi AKA Malcom X was nullified so the union was on autopilot. We had a break during that time "Mojo Break". These Alfas, Pastors and Imams are the highest form of hypocrisy, I don't give them regard because if you're fortunate to know what they do underneath.
This was exactly how their OAU faction invaded Awo Hall on a Friday night when Awoite are having their usual sacrament, that was sometimes in 2007. They came with club, bottles, sticks and swords, ironically, what these people does to their female counterpart is devilish.
When their mosque inside Awo cafe was invaded by ever militant Awoite, then we discovered up to 13 pregnant ladies who are students and some nursing mothers, we never had an idea of what goes on around that hub before that day. It has to involve the DSS of the school to gain entrance into their hub inside Awo Cafe that day.

Meet Nigerian Teens Set To Take Nollywood By Storm With Just Smartphones
A group of teenagers from Kaduna are on the verge of making a major break into the Nigerian movie industry (Nollywood), and they plan to do this with just their smartphones.
Following the massive social media attention which their short films garnered, the teens who call themselves ‘The Critic‘ might indeed find their way and take their place in scheme of things within Nollywood.
Using just a basic green screen, the student filmmakers have been playing around with the sci-fi movie genre and are beginning to get the attention of the world.
With basic tools and just smartphones, these students come up with rather surprising short films that have left a wow effect on many viewers.
These crew of 8, is said to have short their first film titled ‘Redemption’ from visual effects skills which they learned through YouTube Tutorials.
According to one of the young filmmakers, Godwin Josiah, their aim was not just to go viral, but to show that kids within the north are doing something different.
Despite the various challenges they face, The Critics have continued to excel in special effects, making very commendable clips with a smashed mobile phone, a tripod made from a broken microphone stand and other equipment made from improvisation and thinking out of the box.
As often is the reward of creativity and hard-work, films by The Critics caught the eye of a well-known producer – who encouraged a fundraising campaign making them almost $6,000 which is enough to buy them new equipment which will see to the production of more qualitative films.
