Passport renewal is needed urgently for a relative in Lagos. Need it days. Anyone able to help should let me know what it takes.

Thanks

A different take and putting aside spiritual problems.

What skills and training do you have? You mentioned a few things that you tried to do but honestly unclear to me how you failed exactly.

May be you have not found the right business/work that is the best fit for you. You can check my moniker but I don't follow the spiritual angle but can help you in more practical ways if I understand your background better. Don't get me wrong I believe in God and pray as well but I also believe that in alot of cases such as this, the issue is not really spiritual.

Chinese company ... 2nd slavery loading for Africans. Would even more brutal than the first...

Sad that people are celebrating this.

Hackers have uncovered ways to unlock and start nearly all modern Honda-branded vehicles by wirelessly stealing codes from an owner's key fob. Dubbed "Rolling Pwn," the attack allows any individual to "eavesdrop" on a remote key fob from nearly 100 feet away and reuse them later to unlock or start a vehicle in the future without owner's knowledge.

Despite Honda's dispute that the technology in its key fobs "would not allow the vulnerability," The Drive has independently confirmed the validity of the attack with its own demonstration.
Older vehicles used static codes for keyless entry. These static codes are inherently vulnerable, as any individual can capture and replay them at will to lock and unlock a vehicle. Manufacturers later introduced rolling codes to improve vehicle security. Rolling codes work by using a Pseudorandom Number Generator (PRNG). When a lock or unlock button is pressed on a paired key fob, the fob sends a unique code wirelessly to the vehicle encapsulated within the message. The vehicle then checks the code sent to it against its internal database of valid PRNG-generated codes, and if the code is valid, the car grants the request to lock, unlock, or start the vehicle.

The database contains several allowed codes, as a key fob may not be in range of a vehicle when a button is pressed and may transmit a different code than what the vehicle is expecting to be next chronologically. This series of codes is also known as a "window," When a vehicle receives a newer code, it typically invalidates all previous codes to protect against replay attacks.

This attack works by eavesdropping on a paired keyfob and capturing several codes sent by the fob. The attacker can later replay a sequence of valid codes and re-sync the PRNG. This allows the attacker to re-use older codes that would normally be invalid, even months after the codes have been captured.

A similar vulnerability was discovered late last year and added to the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures database (CVE-2021-46145), and again this year for other Honda-branded vehicles (CVE-2022-27254). However, Honda has yet to address the issue publicly, or with any of the security researchers who have reported it. In fact, when the security researchers responsible for the latest vulnerability reached out to Honda to disclose the bug, they said they were instead told to call customer service rather than submit a bug report through an official channel.

Despite being able to start and unlock the car, the vulnerability doesn't allow the attacker to actually drive off with the vehicle due to the proximity functionality of the key fob. However, the fact that a bad actor can get this far is already a bad sign.

At this time, the following vehicles may be affected by the vulnerability:

2012 Honda Civic
2018 Honda X-RV
2020 Honda C-RV
2020 Honda Accord
2021 Honda Accord
2020 Honda Odyssey
2021 Honda Inspire
2022 Honda Fit
2022 Honda Civic
2022 Honda VE-1
2022 Honda Breeze

GM Cruise autonomous taxi pulled over by police in San Francisco without humans, ‘bolts’ off (U: Cruise responds)

Last week, a GM Cruise-converted Chevy Bolt without a driver was pulled over by San Francisco Police. In an unexpected turn, the car “bolted” …to a safe spot.

The original Instagram poster noted that this occurred in the Richmond District of San Francisco last week.

GM’s Cruise vehicles have been operating autonomously in San Francisco at night, giving rides to employees around the city. Until now we’ve only seen success stories. Recently, Google’s Waymo driverless vehicles joined Cruise in San Francisco.

OP you do not have a spiritual problem at all. You keep mentioning forex account - its a form of gambling and quite addictive. I know a bunch of people who go through the same issue related to fx trading.

The cough part is how your body reacts to the addiction so not a big deal. If you deal with the underlying issue, that would be gone as well.

Have you closed the fx account? What skills do you have? If you want - reach out to me and I can speak with you.

Keep deceiving yourselves, that useless ivm is not my portion, very igbotic car, crappy and ugly

That's how the Japanese started. Very crappy cars.

I wish Innoson and other aspiring auto makers in Nigeria well.

The worst of us in Nigeria have always represented the best of us. Unfortunately, this always make the rest of the world to see the whole Nigeria as the same because the worst have always been in the forefront of everything happening in Nigeria just like this govt . Outside world seeing our leaders talk or communicate their opinions, will never believe that there are smart Nigerians existing on earth

Actually the other way. Rest of the world cannot figure out how a country with so many smart people is run by folks who cannot articulate basic ideas. If you see the strides made by Nigerians (all tribes btw) abroad you will be amazed. Not focusing on the names you hear already in the news but many normal folks.

It's such a sad situation. If Nigerians stop looking at tribe and focus on competence, in 5 years the transformation will be shocking.

Happy New Year to all!!!

I am still thinking about how to proceed with this thread this year especially given that I do not have time to properly vet some of the requests.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Thanks for your comment/opinion. However it is my money and I choose to do what I want with it.

I used to work for a major Hotel in NY when I was younger that was filled with African workers[mostly Nigerians and Ghanians], I noticed that the Nigerian workers[housekeepers,security guards etc] were mostly taking night classes in different colleges like myself and the ones who couldnt or didnt want to go to College took different technical training so they can enhance themselves. The ones that decided not to learn any vocation ,made sure to bombard the human resources office regularly for opportunities to move up. Many years later, I visited the hotel to find out that most of my fellow Nigerians like myself have moved on to better opportunities likes Doctors, engineers, architect, licensed electricians etc and the one that stayed behind at the Hotel had become managers and executives of the Hotel. When I checked on the other Africans, they were STILL in the SAME position that they were when I left the place almost 2 decades later[One told me that they that didnt move because of the risk of losing a Unionized Job]. My point here is that I love My Nigerian PPL because they are resilient, risk takers, opportunistic, always aiming high,they dont rely on luck or anybody................Nigerians can NEVER be put in a Box!

Completely agree. That's also my message to any new Nigerian immigrant I meet - I tell them not be carried away by the little dollars they are earning initially but plot a firm path to the middle class in America. That's how you truly live the American dream and lay a good foundation for the next generation. Good thing is that a lot of our people execute on that.

Curious if this happened before any where in Nigeria and how did people react to it.

TEXARKANA, Texas (KTAL/KMSS) – It “rained fish” for a few minutes in Texarkana Wednesday afternoon as storms moved through the area.

It happened around 4:30 p.m., according to James Audirsch, who works at the Orr Maxx used car dealership on Summerhill Road. He says he and his co-worker Brad Pratt heard loud noises and looked outside only to see fish falling from the sky.

“There was a loud crack of thunder and when we opened up the bay door, I looked outside and it was raining real hard and a fish hit the ground, and then I said, ‘It’s raining fish!’ Brad was like, ‘No it’s not,’ and I’m like, “No, it really is!'” and fish were droppin’ here and everywhere.”

Small fish could be seen sprinkled throughout the parking lot of the dealership, as well as the one across the street and the tire shop next door. Some were 4-5 inches long and appeared to be young white bass.

“Raining fish” is believed to be the result of a rare meteorological phenomenon in which a water spout moving over water sucks up small creatures such as fish and frogs, carrying them along until they lose steam before dropping their stunned passengers.

Strong winds created by tornadoes or hurricanes can also send small species raining from the sky, according to the Library of Congress.

Nigeria is a shocking place.

Sounds just like the situation many decades ago when I was growing up. Yet online and physical billboards is full of praises for the various governors of the states while BASIC problems go unsolved.

The problem cuts across leaders and followers. E go hard.
