Phones / Microsoft Unveils New Look Of Lumia Phones Without The Nokia Name [ Pics] by PeetaBishop(m): 12:22am On Oct 28, 2014
Nokia fans, look away now.
If you were upset by the news that the Nokia branding
was to be dropped from all future Microsoft phones,
then you won’t want to see these new images.
Microsoft has now unveiled what its phones will look like
once the branding switch to ‘Microsoft Lumia’ is
complete, bringing to an end nearly three decades of
Nokia phones.

Religion / Anita Oyakhilome's Name And Pic Removed From Rhapsody Of Realities by PeetaBishop(m): 12:11pm On Sep 29, 2014
Anita Oyakhilome has been excluded from the
newly released October-2014 edition of
Rhapsody of Realities, Christ Embassy's
monthly devotional. The devotional, which was
started many years ago by the now estranged
couple, usually had both their pictures and
writings in the pages, but in this new 31-page
edition, there's not one pic or article attributed
to Pastor Anita, just pastor Chris.
Also, the back cover of the magazine which
usually had a picture of the couple now has only
Pastor Chris on it.
The first pic is of the latest edition while the second pic is an older edition of the Rhapsody of Realities

Nairaland / General / Spotted In South Africa: A "Do Not Die In Nigeria" Warning (photo) by PeetaBishop(m): 10:13am On Sep 29, 2014
According to South African journalist, Robyn
Kriel; a fellow international press member,
who has been based in Lagos for several
years, while giving him her thoughts on the
SCOAN hostel building collapse, said:
“You don’t want to die in Nigeria. Hell, you
don’t even want to get sick in Nigeria. You
are just another number. You will be told
‘people die all the time in Nigeria, what makes
you so special?’”
Tough words he says they were but words he
started believing after his own haunting
experience in Nigeria.

Phones / Mobile Phones To Exceed Human Population This Year. by PeetaBishop(m): 10:13am On Sep 27, 2014
According to reports by Silicon India, mobile
phones will reach a staggering 7.3 billion by
the end 2014 – meaning for the first time in
history there will more mobiles than
humans. While that may sound nice to your
ears, it isn’t, at least according to Ding’s
CEO.
While welcoming the news, Mark Roden, CEO
Ding* said: “Mobile phones have the ability
to drastically improve lives in some of the
poorest parts of the world where
communications are restricted.”
However, he warns the announcement may
not be as sweet as it sounds.
“No matter how many mobiles exist – they
are a useless tool unless they have credit.
We are excited at the growth of mobile
phones across the world and our mission
now, is to help ensure these phones stay
topped-up.”
With more than USD$ 400billion transferred
in money remittances every year,
international top-up is an easy, fast and safe
alternative to support home. Researchers at
ding* have found that mobile phone owners
in developing countries will forgo groceries
to top-up their phones and confirmed that
as many as 44 percent of ding* customers
consider the service a “need”.
Mobile phones play an increasingly important
role in developing countries where, despite
60% of people living on less than $2 a day,
the majority own mobile phones. A topped-
up mobile phone makes it easier for people
to communicate and gives them access to
information through data. In a way, it’s no
surprise Google have just confirmed that
more people on the earth have access to a
mobile than a toothbrush.

Sports / When A Guy Dislikes Soccer. by PeetaBishop(m): 12:59am On Sep 27, 2014
To tell you the truth, I really don't like soccer. You won't ever find me on a soccer thread whooping for a particular team or what not. In the society today, it seems being a fan of soccer is what makes you a man but I beg to disagree.
During my first year in the University, a lecturer asked all soccer fans to raise their hands up and the whole class (I mean the guys) all raised their hands except me and the lecturer asked if I didn't like the game and I just shook my head. From somewhere in the class, a guy shouted "He's gay". Although I didn't reply to him but I felt bad because I don't see any reason why hating soccer makes me less of a man. Pls tell me guys, is it wrong if one doesn't like soccer?
Nairaland / General / Why Second Place Doesn't Make History by PeetaBishop(m): 12:32am On Sep 27, 2014
Victors may write the history, but
inspiring success stories can all too
often overshadow less spectacular
tales of brave people who pushed society
forward without honors or recognition.
Even the ones who paved the way for the
eventual victor.

We all know Neil Armstrong, but fewer
remember the second man to set foot on
the moon, Buzz Aldrin. The third moon-
walker, Charles Conrad , may have known
that nobody was watching, which is
probably why, instead of solemn words, he
let rip with a simple “Whoopee!”
Norwegian Roald Amundsen also received
much more credit than British Robert F.
Scott after beating him to the North Pole
by just a month. Scott died on his way
back, which of course didn’t help, soon
after realizing how close he’d come to
glory. But really, in the bigger scheme of
things, what’s a month?
And have you ever heard the name of Bert
Hinkler ? Probably not. He flew across the
Atlantic second, soon after Charles
Lindbergh launched headlines worldwide.
Still, being first is often difficult to prove
and even then, not always a guarantee of
fame. Take Thorfinn Karlsefni . He was one
of the Vikings who settled in
Newfoundland, Canada, about 500 years
before Columbus set sail for the New
World. Yet the sailor from Genoa is still
widely credited as being the European
who discovered America.

The Wright brothers might not have been
the first to fly an airplane either. Richard
Pearse , a farmer from New Zealand, is said
to have flown 350 yards with a plane of
his own invention, nine months before the
Wright brothers took off. Another
contender for the title is Gustave
Whitehead , a German engineer living
Connecticut who claimed to have flown in
1901, two years before the Wrights did.
Countless pioneers have gone
unrecognized in the field of engineering,
where a patent often means the difference
between glory and oblivion. The
microprocessor, for example, was first
invented by Geoffrey Dummer, a British
electronics engineer. But he abandoned
the idea after his presentation of the
device failed to impress the attendees of a
conference in 1952. Six years later, Jack St.
Claire Kilby, an American scientist, filed a
patent for an almost identical device. The
invention made billions for Texas
Instruments.
The most emblematic case of legal woes is
probably that of Antonio Meucci , who
invented the first phone-like device in
1854. He filed a caveat at the U.S. Patent
Office, essentially putting a temporary hold
on the idea before filing for a full patent.
But soon he went bankrupt and could not
afford the $10 fee to renew it. It expired in
1874 and, two years later, Alexander
Graham Bell filed his patent.
In 2002, the U.S. House of Representatives
declared , “If Meucci had been able to pay
the $10 fee to maintain the caveat after
1874, no patent could have been issued to
Bell,” but school books still list Bell as the
telephone’s inventor.
Many women’s contributions have also
fallen through the cracks. In 1962, James
Watson and Francis Crick won the Nobel
Prize for discovering the DNA’s double
helix structure, an achievement that was
only possible because of Rosalind Franklin,
the biophysicist who took the first pictures
of life’s building blocks and received no
credit for the discovery.

Sometimes even those who completely fail
to reach their objectives pave the road for
others to succeed. It’s the case of countless
19th-century explorers who, driven by
curiosity and national rivalry, joined a
race to the farthest corners of the Earth.
When John Hanning Speke discovered the
source of the Nile in 1858 he did so, in
part, based on the unsuccessful previous
attempts of little-known explorers like
Robert James Gordon, Henry Pike Welford
and John Ledyard, all of whom lost their
lives trying to solve the century’s most
gripping mystery.
Also forgotten have been many who helped
their life partners to the finish line, like
Florence Barbara von Sass, the wife of
famous African adventurer Sam Baker. She
accompanied him in all his expeditions.
Still, history’s most neglected heroes might
be the local men and women who worked
tirelessly to get others into the history
books and received barely a footnote in
return.

It’s the case of most African porters whose
role in exploring their own continent has
been widely understated. Their first names
— Bombay, Chuma, Susi, Uledi — are
sometimes mentioned in explorers’
journals and some received honors from
the Royal Geographic Society , but their
exploits have gone largely unsung.
Likewise, Sherpa guides risk their lives
helping Westerners up the Himalayas but
their names are often left out when
recounting mountaineering feats. A
notable exception was Nepalese Tenzing
Norgay , who received wide recognition
and a medal from the Queen of England
for reaching the summit of Mount Everest
with his friend Edmund Hillary.
History’s limelight is capricious. Why
should those who fall slightly short of the
mark not be recognized for persistence
and courage?
Theodore Roosevelt put it best in a 1910
speech : “It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the doer of
deeds could have done them better. The
credit belongs to the man who is actually
in the arena (…) who at the worst, if he
fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so
that his place shall never be with those
cold and timid souls who neither know
victory nor defeat.”
Politics / Boko Haram Killed 13,000 Nigerians In 5 Years-President Goodluck Jonathan by PeetaBishop(m): 9:22pm On Sep 26, 2014
President Goodluck Jonathan says the Boko
Haram sect has murdered no fewer than
13,000 Nigerians. Describing the trend as
“unacceptable,” he challenged the
international community to put in more
efforts to stop the global menace of
terrorism. Speaking at a high level meeting of
the United Nations Security Council in New
York, United States of America, Jonathan said
terrorism has had destructive effects on the
country in the past five years.
“Nigeria knows too well the destructive
effects of terrorist activities. Over the past
five years, we have been, and are still
confronting threats posed by Boko Haram to
peace and stability, predominantly in the
North Eastern part of our country” , Mr.
Jonathan said.
“The costs are high: over 13,000 people
have been killed, whole communities razed,
and hundreds of persons kidnapped, the
most prominent being the mindless kidnap
of our innocent daughters from Chibok
Secondary School, in North East Nigeria”.
While appreciating the UN’s leadership for
convening the meeting to address global
terrorism concerns, he said the resolution
adopted by member states was a critical step
in mobilizing international action against
terrorism. The president said his government
had doggedly mobilised resources at its
disposal to ensure that the scourge was
rooted out of Nigeria.
He listed some of such efforts to include the
Presidential Initiative for the North East,
Victims Support Fund as well as the Safe
Schools Initiative, which is supported by
former British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown.
Continuing he said, “We must now capitalize
on the commitment and evident
determination of the Security Council to
seek more innovative responses to the threat
of terrorism and in particular to the growing
menace of foreign fighters” , Mr. Jonathan
said.
“The council should be concerned about the
existence of sources of arming and funding
terrorists. Evidence has shown that Boko
Haram, for instance, is resourced largely
from outside our country.
“We must also commit to ensuring that
countries which are in the frontline of this
challenge, receive adequate support from
the international community.
“The Resolution that we have adopted here
today is a critical first step in mobilising
international action” , said the Nigeria’s
President.
Mr. Jonathan said Nigerians and the world
were horrified at the gruesome murder of two
American journalists and a British aid worker
by elements linked to Islamic State, ISIS.
He noted that the murders typified the new
face of global terrorism marked by
executions, extreme brutality and impunity,
pointing out that Al Qaeda in the Arab
Maghreb, Al Shabaab in Somalia, and Boko
Haram in North Eastern Nigeria as some of
the groups that share the agenda of
unleashing terror, destruction and instability
around the world.
The nation’s leader noted that bands of
foreign fighters have added a troubling
dimension to the emerging phase of global
terrorism.
Jonathan recalled that from targeted attacks
by Al Qaeda a few years ago, the world now
witness thousands of mobile terrorists
sweeping across vast areas, destroying lives,
and even attempting to hold territory.
He, however, thanked the American President,
Barrack Obama, and the US Government for
the security governance initiative, which was
conceived at the US-Africa Summit in August.
“I believe, if expeditiously implemented, the
initiative will enhance security on the
continent. “Only by united action and firm
resolve can we check this raging threat to
humanity, and also build the enduring
structures that will resist their re-
emergence”, he added.

Nairaland / General / Finally! Boko Haram Agrees To Release All Chibok Girls by PeetaBishop(m): 1:16pm On Sep 22, 2014
Fresh reports say that Boko Haram group
has finally agreed to free all the Chibok girls
for 18 sect commanders currently in
detention.
It would be recalled that less than two weeks
ago it was reported that the insurgents had
agreed to release only 30 female students
abducted in April in exchange for 18 key
group members. The decision was allegedly
made after the Nigerian authorities had held
secret talks with one of Boko Haram seniors
identified as Umar.
This Saturday it was gathered that the
International Committee of the Red Cross and
the Nigerian government were holding long-
time negotiations on the issue .
Finally, according to the Nation, the
agreement on 219 girls release was reached.
It has been reported that the two parties
asked their representatives to go back to
their leaders to discuss the new conditions.
At the meeting said to be facilitated by the
President, Civil Rights Congress (CRC),
Comrade Shehu Sani, it was allegedly claimed
that if the girls were tried to be released by
force, it might lead to fatalities.
Chibok girls showed in the video released by
Abubakar Shekau
One of those who attended the session said:
“The sect shifted its position and agreed to
release all the girls instead of 30 Christian
married girls it had promised. But Boko
Haram said it does not trust the government
going by previous experience. If the
government had respected previous talks, the
Chibok girls were initially meant to be off the
hook during the Eid-el Fitr festival. Again
about two weeks ago, a delegation was
already in Maiduguri until the swap deal was
bungled. Some security agents only advised
on the release of six out of the 18 leaders of
the sect. They rated the rest 12 as
dangerous. When the insurgents found out,
they backtracked and demanded the release
of the 18 leaders. The development paved
the way for the latest talks in Abuja which
involved the ICRC.”
The source also said that the Nigerian
authorities promised to release the 18
leaders as soon as all the girls were let go.
Another source present at the session said:
“We generally agreed that all the parties
should go back to their leaders on the
agreement reached. The government said no
to piecemeal release of the girls and Boko
Haram claimed that it will not have any
business with the government until all the 18
leaders of the sect are freed. After the Eid-el-
Kabir festival, the two parties will meet again
on the terms to finalise the agreement or
part ways. Before the meeting rose, Boko
Haram representatives warned against the use
of force to liberate the girls. It also made it
clear that it had the “capacity to take on the
Federal Government for the next 45 years.”
Regarding the insurgency in the North-East of
Nigeria one of the sources said that “the
outcome of the latest round of talks will
determine whether they should ceasefire or
not” .
It would be recalled that more than 200 girls
were abducted on April 14 by Boko Haram in
Chibok of the troubled Borno State. Despite
both the military and social involvement of
various countries worldwide, the majority of
students are still missing.
