How to Listen To Radio Stations and Watch TV Channels From Around the World With Your Windows and VLC Media Players by Chinedu Rylan

1. Listen to Radio Stations With Windows Media Player:

In case you don’t know this already, you can listen to a host of radio stations in the world with your Windows Vista-, 7- or 8-powered personal computer, from the comfort of your home. You won't be needing the heavy and unreliable Short Wave receivers for this nor will you download an application to achieve this. All you need is a Windows Media Player and an internet connection.

If you have a Windows Media Player on your PC and a working internet connection, find the application and open it. Then click on the “Media Guide” button at the top right or left (depending on the version you are using) corner of your screen and it will take you to the next step. However, if the “Online Stores” button is visible instead of the “Media Guide” button, click on the arrow to the right of “Online Stores” and it will take you to the “Media Guide” button.

If your internet connection is working, it will automatically search for available popular radio stations. If this does not happen (or if it does happen, but the radio station you want to listen to does not appear in the list), you can manually browse for radio stations by their genre or you do a quick search by typing the name of the radio station you intend listening to in the application’s Radio Station Search box. If the radio station is available, it will come up among the search results. If it doesn't appear, then it's not in the Windows Media database.

For example, if you want to listen to the BBC World Service, you can either browse for it in the News + Talk genre or you can do a quick search by typing “BBC” or “BBC World Service” into the Radio Station Search box. If the radio station is available it will show up in the search results. Once you’ve found the station you are looking for you can start listening to it straightaway by clicking on the “Listen” button below it.



2. Listen to Radio Stations With VLC Media Player (1):

Don’t feel too bad if your Laptop is not Windows-powered, because you can also listen to an unlimited number of online radio stations with your VideoLAN (VLC) Media Player. This is even a better and more comprehensive alternative to the Windows Media Player.

The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a working internet connection. Once you've firmed this up, you need to launch the VLC Media Player application. Then you have to click on the “Media” button at the top left corner of your screen. Doing this will give you a drop-down menu from which you are to select “Open Network Streaming.” When you've done this you’ll see a dialog box requesting you to insert the URL of the internet radio station you want to listen to. If you don’t know the URL of the station you have in mind, you can search for it with a web browser. Click on the “Play” button when you’ve done this and – if it’s available – you should start listening right away.

A reliable, but unofficial, URL of the BBC World Service is http://www.vpr.net/vpr_files/stream_playlists/vpr_bbc_mp3.pls



3. Listen to Radio Stations With VLC Media Player (2):

Alternatively, you can listen to some preinstalled radio stations with your VLC Media Player by clicking on the “View” button on the top left corner of your VLC screen. This will show you see a drop-down; when you see this you should select “Playlist.” Double-clicking on the “Internet” button on the screen that comes after it will show you another drop-down menu. Here, you’ll have to click on the “Icecast Directory.” Select the radio station of your choice and listen there and then.



4. Watch Online TV Channels With VLC Media Player


To watch an online TV channel with your VLC Media Player, launch the application and click on the “Media” button on the top left corner of your screen. A drop-down menu will be displayed. To watch an online TV channel, select “Streaming” from the list of items displayed in the drop-down menu. When you’ve done this, a dialog box will be opened; click on the third tab labelled “Network” and insert the URL of the TV channel you wish to stream or play in the search box and click on “Stream” or “Play” to watch. Voila!

Has Buhari Shot Himself In The Foot? by Chinedu Rylan

At some point it all looked like Gen. Buhari and his All Progressives Congress (APC) team would pose a deadly serious threat to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and wreck their chances of returning the incumbent President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to power come May 29. But all the early good works and concerted efforts to win the sympathy and support of the masses, and gain their votes have been undone, almost single-handedly by the party itself.

Few weeks ago, it was safe to say that the winner of the February 14 Presidential election was anyone’s guess, bearing in mind that the two frontrunners in the elections were – and still are – neck-and-neck in terms of the number of core supporters they have been able to amass. Both, however, would have – and may still be – banking on the support of millions of undecided eligible Nigerian voters whose minds were yet to be made up on who to support and who not to support. Unfortunately, it now seems that the bulk of those erstwhile undecided voters are moving further away from the Progressives, if online sentiments and those in the streets are anything to go by.

I’ve come across several previously undecided voters, both online and offline, who are now almost certain that they will camp under the Umbrella. I went ahead to require of them what informed their decisions and almost all of them were united in their rationales for settling for the PDP. Assuming that I queried 50 persons about their reasons for shifting to the PDP, 45 of them told me that the APC and Muhammadu Buhari have played into the arms of the PDP.

Now, how has the APC and Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) played into the hands of the People's Democratic Party?

The PDP in their campaign trails and in their online push for reelection have never failed to remind us of how intolerant of any form of opposition, ideological or otherwise, GMB has been. They went as far back as his 1983-85 military regime where he put a host of opposing voices behind bars to buttress their point. One would have expected that the general, as a seasoned and elite politician that he is, would in response guard his utterances and be more watchful of what he says or does in the public and to the media, but the reverse has so far been the case.

In a protest letter recently channeled through the legal director of the APC Presidential Campaign Organization, Chukwuma-Machukwu Ume (SAN), General Buhari threatened to file a lawsuit against the federal government-owned Nigerian Television Authority and the privately owned African Independent Television for what he described as “hate documentaries” against him that were aired in the tail end last month by the stations, unless they retract them and issue a formal apology. Such threats and disposition by an aspiring office holder (or even a serving office holder) are rather uncalled for in a democratic setting. The world over, leaders and politicians are scrutinized and castigated by the media on a daily basis and it’s seen as part of their obligations as watchdogs in the society.

If world leaders should file a lawsuit for every alleged calumny or supposed act of “hate” they've been subjected to, then the mountain of lawsuits that would be filed by the likes of Barack Obama, David Cameron, Vladimir Putin or even our very own Goodluck Jonathan will take several generations of humanity to tackle. These leaders are lampooned on a daily basis yet you rarely hear them threatening to sue anyone for it. His own case shouldn't be any different. So my advice to the General is that the sooner he develops a thick skin to withstand all the media "assault," the better for him, because he will be receiving a truckload of it should he eventually win.

In like manner, the leadership of the APC is doing their presidential and vice presidential aspirants and their image as a whole no good by backing out of a series of debates organized by different corporate bodies and organizations within the country in the run-up to the Valentine’s Day polls. Their no-show at the Nigerian Elections Debate Group (NEDG)’s Vice Presidential debates and their anticipated no-show at the presidential debates to be organized by the trio of the Newspaper Proprietors’ Association of Nigeria (NPAN), Arise News and ChannelsTV do nothing to gainsay the allegation leveled against them by the People’s Democratic Party of being fight shy of a public face-off in which they will have to tackle tough questions and defend their manifestos and party agenda before Nigerians.

Though the APC has come out to deny this allegation and have done their best to repudiate the "dodging theory" of the PDP by citing perceived bias on the part of the organizers of the debates as their reason for backing out, the average and neutral Nigerian on the streets is not buying it. The rebuttal has done very little to convince neutrals who are beginning to toe the PDP’s line. My advice to them is that they should vet their options and come up with a positive decision in time, before the election sets in.

For the sake of time and space, I will stop at these. These and many more PR missteps and political miscalculations have conspired to put the party in a precarious position and rob them of the people's goodwill which they once owned. In an election that will likely be decided by the undecided voters, the APC are fast losing speed and direction. Concerted efforts must be made to repair what has already been damaged and put their push for the country's top job back on track, else they run the risk of losing by a wide margin at the poll.

I just saw this online and I think it's worth sharing. It's biased towards American and Western audience, but there is no harm in mulling over them.

Admittedly, job interviews are stressful. They can be made even worse when the interview questions are open ended.

That’s why we’ve taken the liberty of formulating a variety of “scenario” based questions you might have to face in any given job interview.

Try your luck with these, and as any recruiter might tell you, there’s no right or wrong answer. Just the best answer you can muster on the spot. Good luck.

1. If you couldn’t have this job, what job would you want to have?

2. If you could do any job in the world what would it be?

3. If Mars was a colonized planet, what job would you want to have there?

4. If you had to work as a sport mascot, who would you want to be?

5. If you were in a sitcom that took place in the ‘80s or ‘90s, which one would it be?

6. If you could, would you ban conference calls or check-in meetings?

7. If you could time travel to any period past or future, to what time would you go?

8. If you could go anywhere on business travel, where would you go?

9. If you could successfully drill to the core of the Earth, would you?

10. If gravity disappeared, what is the first thing you’d do?

11. If this job could have a “creative” job title, what would you want it to be?

12. If you had one superpower, what would it be, and why?

13. If there were no attire police, what would you wear to work?

14. If you noticed that a co-worker made a mistake, how would you address it?

15. If selected for this position, can you describe your strategy for the first 90 days?

16. If someone on your team was slacking, what would you do?

17. If your supervisor asked you to do something that you disagreed with, but that was not immoral or illegal, what would you do?

18. If you were given an assignment outside your comfort zone, skill-wise, would you attempt it anyway or seek to pass it off to a colleague?

19. If you retired tomorrow and wanted to start a wildly different second career, what would you do?

20. If money were no object and you could go back to school to learn for fun, what would you study?

21. If you were stranded on a desert island with unlimited food and water, what three additional things would you want to have with you and why?

22. If you won the lottery today and had the time and resources to devote your life to one worthy cause, hobby or passion, what would it be?

23. If you had a time machine, would you check out the future or the past? Why?

Tomeseen:
Why flavor no dey there

He didn't make the top 10.

6. D’Banj:


Though he’s no longer a force to be reckoned with in the music scene and he’s lately been hugging the headlines not because of his musical exploits but because of the alleged numerous debt scandals he’s been embroiled in, he has not fallen off the radar in the social media world. His tweets and posts are still well received, with thousands of retweets, favourites, likes and comments each time he sends something out with his social media accounts. On Twitter, his following is 1.05-million-strong. On Facebook and Instagram the figures are 1.18 million and about 70,000 respectively. Unlike his former business partner Don Jazzy, he doesn’t interact with his followers that much on the social media, but that has had very little or no bearing on his internet following.

7. Olamide:


The self-styled “Voice of the Street” is as massive on the social media as he is on the streets of South Western Nigeria. On Twitter, his following is a healthy 450,000 and on Instagram it’s almost 290,000.

8. Banky W:


The R&B crooner burst into the Nigerian music scene with his Naija-flavoured remix of Rihanna’s first hit single “Umbrella,” which he titled “Ebutemeta” and further cemented his place as one of the brightest and most talented stars in the local music scene with his biggest hit till date, “Strong Thing.” His persona and … has drawn him a host of admirers, many of whom follow him on online. The US-born entertainer commands Nigeria’s 5th largest celebrity Twitter following with 940,000. He’s not much of a Facebooker, but that didn’t deter his community page from attracting 464,000 likes. On Instagram, he’s followed by 158,000. Like Don Jazzy, he often uses his social media accounts for political and social activism.

9. Tiwa Savage:


The sizzling Mavin first lady is the queen of the social media in the Nigerian music scene. She easily beats out other female acts like Chidinma, Omawunmi and Waje to the top spot. Despite only bursting into the local scene from the Diaspora in 2010, she has managed to carve out a niche for herself and build her brand around it. She’s not the type that shies away from controversy; she courts them actually – an attitude that has won her lots of admirers and pissed off a whole lotta others. Such controversies, however, are the perfect ingredients for social media stardom and notoriety. She may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but she has really done well for herself in so short a period of time. Her Twitter fanbase is 895,000-strong and her Instagram statistics are equally intimidating with about 315,000 followers.

10. Ice Prince:



Panshak Zamani rounds off the list of the 10 most influential Nigerian musicians on the social media. His verified Twitter account is followed by about 610,000 tweeps and his official Facebook page has attracted nearly 1 million likes (precisely about 990,000), while on Facebook’s Instagram he has about 335,000 followers. Not bad for an artiste whose big break came in June 2010 with the release of “Oleku” featuring Brymo.

Worthy mentions: MI, Omawumi, Waje, Flavour N’abania, Wande Coal, Phyno, Naeto C, Sound Sultan, Jesse Jagz and Timaya.

1. P-Square:


The Anambra State-born “brothers wey dey scatter all over the borders” are undoubtedly the kings of the social media as far as Nigerian music goes. They are far ahead of the chasing pack when it comes to raw numbers and influence. Everything P Square does is likely going to end up being dissected and discussed on the social media, whether it’s an acquisition of a new car or some otherwise domestic issues.

A Google search of “P-Square,” “PSquare” and “P Square” yielded a whooping 1.18 million, 655,000 and 1.23 million results respectively as at the time of compiling this list. These Google search stats put them only behind Goodluck Jonathan and Buhari (8.65 million and 7.82 million respectively), among Nigerian personalities. Unlike most Nigerian celebrities, they are well represented in all of the major social media platforms. On the Big Two – Twitter and Facebook – their following is massive. Peter and Paul Okoye‘s combined Twitter following stands at 1.08 million (though these followers may overlap), while the duo’s official Facebook page has 1.8 million likes. Their individual accounts on Instagram also are also massively popular among music lovers and personal admirers. On the video-sharing social network YouTube, their official releases regularly attract views running into the millions, a feat that most Nigerian acts can only dream of.

2. Wizkid:


The self-styled StarBoy may not have had the best of years (musically) in 2014, but that did very little to dent his social media standing in Nigeria. He’s still the most followed Nigerian celebrity on Twitter, with 1.4 million followers, 300,000 more than his nearest competitor and professional archrival, Davido. His Facebook stats are not bad either, neither are his Instagram’s. On the Facebook-owned Instagram, he boasts of over 500,000 followers.

3. Davido:


Music has really been good to him since he hugged the limelight with his smash hit, Dami Duro. He’s one of the very few successful born-with-a-silver-spoon Nigerian crooners and with each year comes new highs and heights for the lad. He recently wrestled the number two spot on Twitter’s most followed Nigerian celebrities ranking from D Kokomaster, Dbanj. He now has close to 1.1 million followers on Twitter compared to Dbanj’s 1.06 million. On Facebook, it even gets better. Over there, his official page has 1.17 million likes on it. On Instagram, he just about edges out Wizkid with close to 550,000 followers. His 2014 hit track, Aye, garnered an incredible 14+ million views on YouTube, making it one of Nigeria’s all-time most viewed videos on the Google-owned social network.

4. Don Jazzy:


The Doro-Boss may not be the boss of the Nigerian social media scene, but he definitely can hold his own on it, anytime, any day. Nigeria’s biggest and most popular music producer has quite an intimidating social media statistics. On Twitter (which he uses very often to interact with his fans and not merely to post updates about upcoming shows, perhaps more than any other Nigerian A-list celebrity) he has about 1.02 million followers; on Facebook he has close to 750,000 likes on his verified page; and on Instagram he’s not doing badly either, with over 350 million followers. Being the boss of the biggest and most star-studded music label in the country of course comes with additional perks and added popularity to his own personal brand.

5. 2Baba:


Tu Face Idibia is undoubtedly a legend in the game; an icon in the African music scene who established and upcoming artistes alike look up to for inspiration and guidance. Therefore, it will be unsurprising to discover that the he enjoys a cult-like following among Nigeria’s music-crazed populace. And there’s no better place to gauge just how popular he is this than on the social media. Though it’s been years since he last released a hit, it hasn’t stopped his social media clout from expanding on a daily basis. He’s often off the gossip and paparazzi radar, but the father of 7 doesn’t need to embroil himself in any scandal or controversy to remain relevant.

He’s one of the most followed Nigerian celebrities on the social media. On Twitter, he has close to 1 million followers (958,000 as at the time of this publication). On Facebook, his official page has close to 400,000 likes to its name, while on Instagram he has roughly 222,000 followers.
