See as people are trampling on our currency. This is absolutely ungodly.

Even after formatting the hard drive, should the botnet still remain functional or be present in the newly-installed (upgraded) Windows 10?

Botnets central system most likely has your Mac-address in a database. In that case, formatting your system won't change things.

Dual boot your PC with a copy of Linux and install traffic monitor. Once the problem resurfaces, dual boot to your Linux and monitor traffic on your registry files and com ports. You would need to post your computer state when I t is offline, it's most likely a botnet is installed in your file registry.

This is way gone overboard. These flyers were also distributed in Mosul, Iraq. Mosul is under ISIS siege, abuja isn't under any siege.
The police is trying to get a message across to the people but avoiding interaction with the public. This method is certainly unconventional and ill-thought.

Atiku just buried and cemented his chance of becoming the president of Nigeria. It is called political frustration.

21 gun salute to our fallen heroes. The least we can do as a country is to properly look after the loved ones they left behind.
This isn't toomuch to ask for.

You are right ,but what i dont like about your statement is your manner of expression. You ought to have used subtle and mild dictions. This is because, as far as I am concerned since the day of your birth you have no invention to your credit, even the least valuable one at that. Yet you have the audacity to comment carelessly about others achivement. Please, learn how to make positive criticism about others effort ,particularly when you haven't gotten to their level.

Cant you guys just engage in meaningful discussion on this forum.This is great. Why is govt not involve in financing these guys. Where is government when you need it.

Naira is already free floating.


The main reason why there is still a wide margin between the official rate is as follows:

Corrupt politicians who steal money and covert to FX for storage at any cost. These morons now know that it is almost impossible to keep their stolen loot in Naira or even in any bank (all thanks to BVN) so what they do now is steal naira, get the aboki guys that sell dollar to mop up dollar at any cost for them and then they keep the dollar cash stashed away in various secret locations.

Importers that still patronise the black market esp those that import some of the items on the list of banned items that CBN won't allocate dollar for. Top of this list is fish, rice, tomato paste, frozen turkey/chicken furniture just to mention a few. I read a report somewhere (can verify if the data is true though) that Nigerians smuggle raw eggs worth over 8billion monthly through our borders. 30 billion naira worth of fish monthly. I don't even want to start quoting the figure for rice These figure is true are quite alarming. I just can't begin to imagine how much jobs we are creating for the countries where these food items come from. Jobs that should be in Nigeria. Hopefully the govt's efforts at self sufficiency will help reduce this trend.

Finally fuel importers and I pray Dangote's refinery will help solve this as over4 40 percent of our FX needs is channelled towards fuel import.

God bless Nigeria

FYI, the only reason people smuggle eggs and all you have mentioned is because there is no sufficient supply of these goods to the nigerian market. We are about 180 million and rely on small scale farm production of these goods to sustain ourselves. How is this sustainable.
If we refuse to import, then its only a matter of time before famine sets in.
The government of the day has to do more, evolve policies and ideas that will encourage people to go into manufacturing and agriculture. It must be long term planning and not a program that you dump immediately another government comes in.

RIP to lt.col. Alli. And all the other brave soldiers.

Let's hope this was not related to an ATGM. NA should take seriously BHTs ability to upgrade. After all, they went from a can bomb hurling motorcycle gang that fire bombed police stations, to gun truck and rpg equipped force.
[
Circa 2011 on beegeagles blog, I correctly predicted that would happen, and towns and bases will fall. The worst thing one can do, is to constantly underestimate your enemy.
Especially One that has dealt NA it's most humiliating military defeats.

So.we need to spend, and spend fast to further boost our advantages in the NE battle space.
The vaunted T72 tank that our late hero fought so valiantly in, was purchased in inexcusable small numbers. About 50 of the type was acquired by dasuki, who only used a fraction of the money that was allocated. It cost like $88,000 for the hurl. Does anyone think nigeria can't afford 500 of these tanks ?

Sudan just ordered 150 from russia's excess stock which numbers 20,000 tanks. Ethiopia and south Sudan purchased T72 tanks numbering 200 and 100 respectively in the recent past.

NA should buy these excess russian armament, then pay for them to be factory refurbished and upgraded.
This is the quickest and most effective way to ramp up numbers.
So if Bht acquires ATGMs, we Will be able to absorb the impact, and not be overwhelmed by it.?

Luckily, bht don't have a patron such as Iran. Their ATGMs have tormented Israeli tanks in Lebanon and occasionally in Gaza, and are currently tormenting the Saudi's in Yemen.
American/Saudi TOW missiles have in turn tormented Assads Iranian/Russian backed army.
Live footage of this abounds on YouTube.

In the same vein, Shekau has at least 2 MANPADs in his possession as seen in recent footage.

Say they have 10 of these, how long will it take to neutralize Operation Gama Aiki with it's paltry 3 alpha jets and 3 F7s ?

Oga doziex, thank you for the tactical breakdown. We would be unfair to our country if we keep pretending that BH is technicaly or whatever dead. These demons are evolving.It might not be at a lightning pace but my worry is this govt's refusal to do what is necessary at the right time.
Like you and others have always clamoured, we need to seriously upgrade the NA inventory.

I can bet BH is having a tea party as colonel Muhammed Ali death is a sort sigh of relief in their camp. We should be throwing everything at these vermins at this moment.

Once more RIP to our fallen hero.

Davido !!! CHAI!!!!

Katyusha:
Sarkin Yayi is dead!! Damn....i hope his T-72 crew made it.

Exactly why we need to keep documenting the battlefield exploits. We need to retrain and quickly expose young, fearless officers in order to be able to fill positions that such heroes as colonel Muhammed Ali left behind.

RIP to the fallen hero. You died for a good cause.

Abeg. Federal Government dey pay cultists monthly salary?

Nonsense. How is this empowerment. Anybody can acquire these equipments with a monthly salary. This is really backward reasoning in the 21st century.
Nigeria politicians are really dumb and lack creativity but nigerians continue to make these scammers look smart. I can assure that 70% of the distributed equipments will end up in the open market.

Again, errant nonsense.

Our men we to be having fun in sambisa

This is the problem I gave with pastors getting involved in politics. Pastor Osibanjo, thank you for reminding us that GEJ started book garam.
For the moment, can you please find a way of reviving this flailing economy. You blame GEJ for both economy and book haram, but refuse to take part of the blame.

The implication of this is the mass movement of northerners who have been denied their right of pleasure to the south.

Nigerians enjoy schemes that look like scam. By the way, CBN should mind their biz.

Bros, our people are already doing that one, oh! All those structures you call "apartments,back to back and semidetached," don boku for Lagos. Each time I see them, I wonder what happened to the airy African courtyard concept, that typified most of the homesteads in our towns & villages in the past.

Go to most of the new housing estates springing up in Lagos these days, and you see box-like structures with tiny rooms that can hardly take a 6x4 bed. Most of them are being put up as terrace buildings, and the few semi-detached buildings that have some semblance of external parking space cannot even take two cars with enough room to spare. By the time they squeeze in the generator house & security guard chalet, what is left? And when you hear the horrific price tags they place on those space-challenged properties, you go run!

The world we live on is rapidly changing. Note and more people rapidly craving for resources that are rapidly been depleted. If every African decides to have such buildings, it's only a matter of time before we would turn on ourselves. Such buildings can only be acquired by the rich and classy of the society.
For a sustainable future, we need to quickly innovate and develop building technologies that can sustain us.

The essence of smart buildings is not just to adopt the use of technology in our homes and offices. Energy conservation and management is key to having a smart building in this age and time.
The advantages are numerous. From remotely accessing and monitoring all electronic gadgets to regulating moisture contents of your bathroom to avoid home accidents, monitoring your smoke alarm devices in the event of fire outbreak.
The possibilities are unlimited.
Good as it might sound, there are numerous obstacles ahead and limits the adoption of this technology. Some of these include adopting a uniform standard protocol for which devices and gadgets can effectively communicate.

A family contracted a tech company to refitting their home architecture. From remote gates to electrical lightning and CCTV. A month later, they bought a new Samsung smart TV and tried to hook up to the already existing setup, only to find out that the app controlling the automated house were incompatible.
Same goes for the smoke detector. At the moment most companies employ proprietary hardware and software for these technologies which on the long run is expensive for the owner.
Smart building is here to stay in Nigeria.

This minister has goofed.

The NPF became a national nightmare and embarrassment the very day it got its own ministry of police affairs.

I totally disagree with you, most pictures of NAF drone we've seeing are usually cropped/screen grabs from videos and they ate from individuals.

I think ayd91 is right. That's probably because #ISIS uses high grade consumer drones with 4k fitted HD cams (most times GoPro) just for publicity stunt. I am sure HD clarity images is the last thing on NAF list.

#JustGetTheJobDone

Disaster waiting to happen. LASG better act fast and provide alternative bridge. Are we waiting to break the world record as the worst bridge disaster in human history.

This water reach to baff.

The owner is smart. An average Nigeria will spend 150k to celebrate a car worth 3 million but see it as a waste of money to install a tracker for less than 50k.

Call us now. Secure your house from the unexpected lightning strike.

You can mark my words. Provisions were made for those stamps but someone who is highly connected has decided to corner the funds or decide to ignore their duty at the embassy.
Nigerians are responsible for destroying Nigeria. Nigeria did not destroy itself.

#BATTLEFIELD PICTURES
#NA INFANTRY RADIO MAN

Rare images (IMO). What is the ratio of radio man to a platoon in the NA. These guys can be game changers in a battle. Are regular soldiers allowed to undergo training as radio man in the NA.
I've seen war footages in the ME where regular soldiers do this job.

This is pure greed and selfishness. The worst he could have done is to send the two back to village. He doesnt deserve peace.

This Stan Eke guy is nothing but a government contractor. Expect anything meaningful from these bunch and you are the latest Clown in town.

Your average office senior or junior staff in the office is either too lazy or uneducated to understand technology.
An average African is too scared to learn technical stuffs because all that matters to Jim is survival and that he can avhieve without technology.
Many of us on this forum took interest in technology because our higher institutions rigorously adopted technology (even if it is just to simplify admission and record keeping) for it to remain a place of learning in the 21st century.
But take a look at the larger society, from failedE-voting to Malfunctioning voting terminals, dysfunctional national identity management programs, ill maintained CCTV surveillance system, name it all. The only area technology has served us convincingly well is the use of ATM, which can be attributed to the need for the banks to upgrade in line with global trends.
Why is Rwanda, a nation with less than 15% percent of our population making headway in the programming and technology than we are? There is a govt will. Their society see technology as a tool to manage their economy with ease but here on Nigeria we acquire technology just to belong to the club of big boys.
I have quiteva lot of programmers give up to soon in this country. Sometimes, I feel only those with a passion for it make something out of it.
If 20% of our population would consume technology for what it is, the so called average programmer in Nigeria will have his or her hands filled.
Sometimes I feel the advent of the global technology space in the last few decades is an opportunity given to us by nature to make up for what we missed in the last few centuries of technology advancement but here we are having a slow start.
The last statistics showed that lesser and lesser Americans took interest in programming but an average American's life is dependent on technology. That is a country that will pay any amount to bring in programming experts because their future as a country is fully dependent on technology.

Here in Nigeria, the schools teach your kids Microsoft office package not because it sees it as a duty to do so or has made computing a necessity in its curriculum but because it wants to attract a parents attention or uses it as a justification to jack up school fees. It's both a perception problem and lack of passion for the skill.

This babe sabi manage. 750 naira is $2, why complain. Great video anyway. Is that a selfie stick you are using?
