its simple, lock the fridge, its one of those things u're sure wont result in a bad habit in future(unless the child is the reincarnation of chucky) so there's no need to apply any advanced principles here. . .(besides a a fridge is something that children should not be allowed to play with who knows what cld happen)

and deodorant is more than important o, its ESSENTIAL!

@goodboybad
yep Uc's are so veratile that i'm sure there's stuff u cld do wiv them that'd sell in the naija market esp since they're low power, been thinking abt it. . .maybe since i hv a lot of time on my hands i'll go back to my microprocessor days. but since u hv a bit of time on u're hands now u cld mess arnd wiv them now i cld give u some sites where u'd see simple projects(although since oshodi is gone i hv no idea where u can get components)

@er'one
hv u guys seen anywhere where rfid is used extensively in naija and is there any coy. in naija thats into it?it seems like an untapped market

@yommyuk
my point rested majorly on the computer thing, to a large extent how far you go in life is determined by how well u get and use information(in all sphere's) and u got wrong info. . .thats my point, here back home we dont all spend our time in front of the computer sending scam mails as you tried to assert in your post! you simply cant say that because a lot of ppl receive scam mails purportedly from naija that all nigerians do wiv computers is send scam mails(i kno i'm exaggerating here ) see what u sed abt getting to your office and ur colleauges telling you abt receiving mails means one of two things. . .either they are daft or. . . cos if they like they can continue hating on naija and all the other scammers will take advantage of that to milk them!(er smart person knows u cant tell the origin of an email from reading it)truth be told, the average foreigner is not bright they jst have a system that works! so i see no reason why you should let oyinbo's be telling you who you are when you know if not for the work the few bright ones have done they would be as bad if not worse!

Fact 1: Outsourcing from the West to Nigeria is already happening on a small-medium scale. RIM of the Blackberry fame has a development project outsourced to a Nigerian company based in Abeokuta. It's been running for at least 5 years now.


@ajalenkoko - just for clarity

Fact 1 - how many people are employed in this company that are of nigerian origin?
In the Uk, when they say small scale that means any company with a turnover under £5.8 million PA. How does that translate in nigerian's business valuation? 100 MILLION naria?

My brother let us be real. No serious minded Service business will invest in Nigeria. The reason why Telecom took off is because nowadays it is a neccesity of life and probably affordable.

I read an article that analysed computer ownership in Nigeria. Less that 1% of the total population. And those/Most that have one use it for fraudlent activities.

I  googled and searched for Websites in nigeria.  You will be amazed with what I came up with.

My advise is that nigeria should stick with what it use to produce Pre-Oil boom days. Agriculture . Malasyia did it with our Palm Oil Seed.

first on the telecomms when it started it wasnt a necessity it was a luxury

next y'all should stop with the stereotyping ok. . . what u read wasnt an article it was crap(why dont u put it here or post a link at least) what do u mean most of the ppl use their computers for fraudulent purposes abeg dont talk about what u dont know o! if u had sed they used it to play music, watch porn or movies i'd understand but it seems you just read somebody's crap and are now spewing it out kilode?

to start with most nigerians that hv computers dont know how to use them well not to talk of using them for fraudulent purposes. if u're going to join oyinbo's and talk trash about nigeria then at least do something more than quote nonsense.

The message should be sensitization!!

true that
cos even if u put cameras at all the machines it'll just increase costs and of what use will the images be sef?remember we're not in america

na wa for all these ppl outside naija that keep on talking abt 419 and online scams. . .abeg we've heard enough already

I derive joy removing virus from a system manually. It's kind of  part of what i do in the office.
i have studied its activities, they all have some things in common -- disabling registry editing tool, removing 'Run' from start menu, disabling Task Manager, hiding folder options' etc.   

I learnt how to disable viruses manually using regedit (registry), msconfig, gpedit.msc . Its a long process and risky process( careful, u can mess up the system through registry) to remove virus manually. But its the best way to fix back u system. Anti viruses will not fix back some registry tweaks like "hide folder option''  You can search the internet for the virus name or the xtics, you will be surprised how the detailed solution (manual removal ) will be displayed to u in one of the websites or forums.
This is how i tackle new viruses that i have not heard of. JUST BE CAREFUL OF WINDOWS REGISTRY. Don't go there if u are not sure of what to do . I have mistakenly messed up systems that lead to re installation from doing so.

For people that are not in IT
The best thing is to get a good anti virus (like Kaspersky, Nod, Mcafee. i can help u get one) and keep updating and you will be free.
PLEASE NEVER PUT MORE THAN ONE anti virus on same system esp norton with another. If ur system is under attack, the result will be worse than the original virus attack.

@curtez, don't be too alarmed Raila Odinga is just a virus developed to campaign a politician. it does not cause much harm to the system.
Just download maybe kaspersky 1mnth trial , install update and scan.

or got through this if u are an IT person

Technical details

This Trojan has a malicious payload. It is a Windows PE EXE file. The Trojan components may vary in size from 17KB to 286KB.

Installation

Once launched, the Trojan extracts a file with the following name from its body to the current user's desktop:

Raila Odinga.gif

and launches it. The user will see the following image:



The Trojan also copies its executable file to the following directory:
%System%\drivers\RailaOdinga.exe

It also extracts the following file from its body:
%Temp%\nswC.tmp\System.dll

In order to ensure that the Trojan is launched automatically each time the system is booted, the Trojan adds a link to its executable file in the system registry:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] @ = "%System%\drivers\RailaOdinga"

The Trojan also creates the following shortcut:
%Documents and Settings%\Start Menu \Programs\Autorun\RailaOdinga.lnk

When this shortcut is run, the Trojan executable file will be launched.


Payload

The Trojan copies its executable file to all removable media under the following name:

:\smss.exe

It also copies the extracted image:

:\Raila Odinga.gif

stands for the letter of the removable disk.

The Trojan creates an autorun.inf file in the root of the removable disk. This file will automatically launch the Trojan executable file when the user attempts to open the infected disk using Explorer.

The Trojan also recursively copies its executable file to all folders on the removable disk. These copies use the names of files which are located in these folders together with an .exe extension.

Removal instructions

If your computer does not have an up-to-date antivirus, or does not have an antivirus solution at all, follow the instructions below to delete the malicious program:

* Use Task Manager to terminate the Trojan process.
* Delete the original Trojan file (the location will depend on how the program originally penetrated the victim machine).
* Delete the following system registry key parameter:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] @ = "%System%\drivers\RailaOdinga"

* Delete the following files:

%Temp%\nswC.tmp\System.dll
%System%\drivers\RailaOdinga.exe
%Documents and Settings%\ Start Menu \Programs\Autorun\RailaOdinga.lnk

* Delete the following file from the desktop:

Raila Odinga.gif

* Delete all copies of the Trojan from removable disks.
* Delete the autorun.inf file from the root directory of all removable disks.


@onasharon  the virus that renames My computer and Recycle bin to Ahsan's is bit more tricky because it looks like windows processes
