Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snap chat, Periscope and Google+ to mention but a few social media are changing the way the world is perceived either for good or bad. These different social media have evolved into an indispensable tool for interaction, mobilization, promotion and communication. It has changed the human race in so many incredible ways. We are here to show you how social media has changed us: the good and the bad.

THE GOOD

Unlimited access to information

Unlike in the past when you have to wait for a newspaper to publish breaking news the next day or rely on radio or television, social media is now the pathway to news. You will not only get current information, you also get live news feeds. This social media trend has led to the emergence of blogs and online media which has threatened the existence of newspapers. However, they now seem to be a gradual synergy between new and traditional media.



Connectivity to others

Social media has made it possible to keep in touch with friends and family. It has also connected us to new ones. In fact, for some persons, it is easier to make friends on social media. In addition, social media has reconnected us to childhood friends. You will always relish the opportunity to meet a long lost friend online and exchange banters about the fun times of your childhood. It is worth it.



Voice to the voiceless

Social media has become the voice to the voiceless. It is an effective platform to express unencumbered and unfettered opinions, views and grievances. Videos of harassment have gone viral and in other cases, it has been used to bring down previously impregnable government-Arab spring. In addition, it is being used for health and developmental campaigns. It is therefore not surprising that many governments are battling to regulate social media. It has to a very large extent returned power to the people.

THE BAD

Prevalent rumours

Spreading rumours and false information is a huge shortcoming of social media. It is an unregulated space and every Tom, Dick and Harry have unhindered access to it. False breaking news has become the norm. Due to this, many are careful about the information they read online. A good example was a hoax that the Eritrean government has passed a law making it compulsory for Eritrean men to marry two wives or go to jail. It trended in Nigeria and even reputable media houses reported the story.

Made people distant

It is an African and Nigerian culture to visit friends and family. Chinua Achebe in his book Things Fall Apart stressed: "When we gather together in the moonlit village ground it is not because of the moon. Every man can see it in his own compound. We come together because it is good for kinsmen to do so." But things have fallen apart in today’s social media world as nobody is visiting one another anymore. We rely heavily on social media to connect with loved ones. Unfortunately, many people live false lives online.


All talk, no action

Social media may give voice to the voiceless, call people to action and a particular subject may trend for a few days. But beyond twitter, what happens?. There have been several viral hashtags on twitter and videos on YouTube which demanded an offline action but oftentimes the trend begins and ends on social media. Very few have gotten worthwhile online and offline attention like the #BringBackOurGirls campaign for the rescue of Chibok girls.

Fellow Nigerians. As the Price for foreign exchange rises astronomically and our foreign reserves drops dramatically. We can only help situations get better if we control our desire for foreign goods and services. Every Nigerian is guilty of this crazy live for foreign goods and services so out demand for forex is higher than the supply.

1. Foreign trips, holidays and face Obudu cattle ranch, Olumo Rock, Yankari game reserve.
2. Wear made in Nigeria clothes and be proud to be african. After all Angelique Kidjo who won a Grammy appeared on stage dressed in Ankara to receive her Grammy.
3. For ladies wear your natural hair, the hair industry in India generates 1billion dollars annually we don't manufacture we only consume. Some of the hair are gotten from different temples for free, please see the video on YouTube.
4. Stop sending your children to foreign schools. You don't need dollars to put them in good schools in Nigeria. We are enriching other countries.
5. Kill your desire for foreign food. After all most of them are not even healthy. How can agriculture grow and survive in your country when you like food from another country.
6. Stop sending staff on foreign trainings. We have very good facilitators in Nigeria. Keep your dollar and pay me naira, my team and I will teach you all that you need to know in Medicine and Medical Sciences.
7. The more we import foreign goods and services, the more we create employment for the youth in those countries. The more foreign exchange we need the weaker our naira becomes.
A word is enough for the wise.Good morning sirz.

What a nation full of nepotic n triblistic motives in everything they do nd where they see themselves

Ok wat about my domin

450milla for where dem wn see such money pay jj omojuwa he no de fear God

A who.ore is always a wh.ore

Buhari n Osinbajo

The economic situation is biting and many guys are vexing while as usual the ladies are expecting. I am looking forward to the day when ladies will offer to take their spouses out! Mtchewwwww! Their hands are as long as the neck of a giraffe! Oh! Did I just say that? No apologies!

The hustle is tight these days as the present 'Oga at the top' is not a father Christmas, unlike the past administration. So money is scarce. A significant number of Nigerians have to spend wisely. No more flamboyance, it is time to tighten the straps of your boot.

Unfortunately for you, that 'bae' you have been 'eyeing' will not look at your face if you lose your swag. Of course, there are other men flashing Ferrari at her while you are showing off with a Toyota Camry! Relax. Do not worry. You will sweep her off feet, not with extravagance but with just 10,000. Read on!

Monday: Be a Gentleman
Many people dread Mondays because it is perhaps the busiest day of the week. Be a gentleman on Monday and focus on your job! You can check on her by calling her.

Tuesday-First Impression matters
First impression matters. It is this prior perception that will determine how remote you will go with the lady. It determines whether you will get her to commit to going out with you! Get your swag on. Read Shakespeare, James Hadley Chase, and borrow lines from Maya Angelou's Touched by an Angel. She will be wowed!

Wednesday: Pause
It is time to give her a break. Do not call her, do not text and do not think about her. Let her miss you! It is difficult, but you will do yourself a whole lot of good if you are able to pull it off.. This break will stop her from taking you for granted or thinking that you cannot do or live without her!

Thursday: Buy her a priceless gift
In a relationship, there is no way you will not spend money. However, you have to smart with spending on a woman who is yet to yield to your advances. She may be showing signs of being interested but at the end you are 'On Your On' (OYO)! But if youy really like her, buy her a thoughtful gift. A below-the-line gift. That is a gift that reminds her of you anytime she sees it! You can go wild by buying her lingeries! There are many affordable stalls around Lagos where you can buy thoughtful gifts!! Do not spend more 3k.



Friday: Take her to watch a movie!
Ladies are the biggest pretenders in this world. Quote me anywhere! Abi na lie? I do not want this. I do not like it...story! As earlier said, politely get her to commit herself to going out with you. Do not ambush her with the movie stuff. You can Skype her, humbly requesting that you want to take her to the movies. Imagine an evening at the cinema with a girl you have been fantasizing about. If she likes you she will give you a positive answer. It is 3k for both of you and do not forget to buy Popcorn! At the end of the movie, invite her to your house.

Saturday: At your house
Her first visit to your house is not an opportunity to have sex. Both of you can do that in subsequent meetiings. Of course, sex is an important feature in every relationship. But it shouldn't be hinged on that. The visit is for to know each other. If you can cook, please show off your cooking skills. Some ladies said they love men that have cooking skills. Impress her with it. At the end of the evening, she will be very fond of you and wouldn't feel like going home. Importantly, make sure you drop at her doorstep or give her cab money!

Sunday: Worship at her Church
Men can do anything just to get a girl. One of those things is worshing at her church. She will be surprised. She may probably forget that she is in church and hug you! Congratulations! She is your girlfriend! But do not assume, ask her.


Do not waste money on recharge cards
In the African setting, men are expected to make all the moves including calling the woman. But, some ladies should be awarded a masters degree for flashing as they will never call their partner!

But do not worry, technology has changed everything. Skype is the way to go! It is the cheapest means to make internet calls. Ask her if she is on skype, collect her ID and make it a point of duty to only call her on it while chatting with her using instant messaging. There is no need to buy recharge card to call or send her text messages. In fact, you can go old skool by writing her a love letter!

So iff. Made men play video game what's the big deal

How can. A big babe like linda ikeji buy. A fake bag. Some pple are just haters

Agbaya

when ur prick no fit stand u go hear am....omo de mix with alomo or hot. Drinksoo

Shame to dem they should be casted away from the lands

Ummmm but what's the problem with land dispute thhe peopleof benue southern benue are more like igbos na...in behaviour idomas....

One major problem that many bloggers and e-commerce businesses encounter is how to get people to visit their website. It is a known fact that attractive pictures and awesome content alone cannot dramatically boost your page views. As a result, some startups may decide to pay for Google and web ads as an alternative to counter the low traffic. But do you know that there are other efficient ways to increase web traffic without necessarily paying a dime.we share these magical ways!

Use YouTube as much as Google

YouTube is another platform that can help stimulate your page visits. It is as good as Google and if you have good and captivating videos, it can also complement other efforts to increase traffic. Hence, do not only rely on Google, explore the advantages inherent in other new media platforms.



More blogging

A secret of increasing page views is to have more incoming links, which Google uses to help rank your site. When you write posts on other sites and you link back to your company site, it will enhance your SEO.


Don't ignore about email marketing.

MailChimp is a tool that allows you to create, send and email newsletters. Through the use of MailChimp, you can use it to send emails to your subscribers and other customers in your contacts. It should feature information that will encourage them to visit the website. The content can even be a Call To Action.

Focus keywords

The use of keywords is another creative way to rank higher on Google. Therefore, whenever you blogging, do not forget to always use keywords. Keyword (s) is a unique word that captures the whole articles and if the word is searched, your content will pop out in the search results. Also, ensure that the keywords are limited to three to four words long

Hackers are always looking for loopholes to explore in order to steal vital and sensitive information. Due to the avoidable mistakes made by many internet users, private information often falls into these wrong hands with relative ease. A password is meant to protect a user's account details rather than giving hackers green light to access your account. we reveals 6 of these mistakes.

The obvious password

This a password that can easily be conjectured by anyone. Examples of obvious passwords are 123456 or qwerty. If you use this type of password, it's a matter of time before someone will be snooping into your account. This snooping will not be restricted to hackers alone. Passwords are meant to be complicated and at the same time easy to remember.

Default password

The default password is one used by the manufacturer of your device which you are expected to change immediately you start using your device. However, it is surprising that some people still retain that same password. The most common default password is 1234 or 0000. Leaving your account exposed this way will come to hunt you someday if you do not change it.


Short password

The length of a password goes a long way protect you online and offline activities. The rule of thumb is the longer the password, the more you are protected. Hence, always use long passwords.

No numbers or Symbols passwords

In most cases, before your account is approved, your password must include numbers and symbols. This is the criteria. What about when you are offline? This is one password mistake that many make. If you are creating a password do not use alphabets alone but also mix it up with numbers and symbols. It will be difficult to crack for hackers.



.

Using personal details

It's not compulsory to use your personal details when creating a password. Since using your name is a password sample that can be to have your account, it is worthwhile to use other details that cannot be simply associated with you.

Similar passwords for different accounts

This is very risky. In fact, hackers will have a swell time navigating through all your accounts unhindered since you virtually use the same passwords for all your accounts. It's good practice to use different passwords for different accounts. If you cannot remember your passwords, you can write it down in a diary or use an online password reminder software to save your passwords.

na only dem dey first collect national ID..i wonder if they need it or use it for their transaction ....we the massses don de wait till jesus go come

Before the grand entry of technology, love was solely reliant on the efforts of both parties making it work. Writing love letters, and travelling long distances just to see your partner was the norm. However, with technology comes change and with this evolution, a myriad of positive and unhealthy habits with it. So what are the ways technology is changing the way people love? we highlights five of these.


Make Long Distance Relationship (LDR) work

Many people are in a long distance relationship, thanks to technology. At present, there are various platforms for lovers to keep in touch and interestingly, and with these platforms becoming relatively affordable most sincere relationships can survive the test of time.


Breakup made easy

Since technology creates a wider platform to meet people, very few people are willing to remain in crappy and unhappy relationships. They know if they breakup, in the next few months, they are chatting with another potential lover on Facebook. Many are taking online meetings to offline and converting them into loving relationships. Notwithstanding the risk, people still engage in it.

Date outside the box

Variety is the spice of life. The more the variety, the more the choices. Hence, many people date individuals who are within their preferred taste. Fortunately, tech helps many to meet eligible guys and ladies. But, being careless with this has led to unsavoury endings.




Many have become sleuth

You can find anybody you meet on the surface of the earth as far as they have an online presence. If she is in a hurry and you could not get her phone number, ensure that she tells you her name and Google it!

However, for some people they have become online detectives especially when they are obsessed with somebody. They navigate from Facebook to twitter, and Instagram just to satisfy their obsession. Love was quite simple, but today with all the tech shenanigans, it is now complicated!


Very few invest in their relationship

Technology has made things very elementary. In the past, painstaking attempts were made to keep a relationship spicy and loving. But, with the World Wide Web, you can simply sit in the comfort of your room chatting with your partner. Both of you may not even see each other for months. Why should you see each other when both of you are already having fun on WhatsApp?

Warri, a city in South-South Nigeria, is the commercial capital hub of Delta State and one of the major pivots of petroleum activities in the region. The city offers business opportunities as well as wonderful sights such as the Delta Ports, Nana Living History Museum and Red Mangrove swamp, to visitors.

However, thanks to the myriad jokes about the city by Nigerian comedians and celebrities, some visitors are a bit reluctant to visit the city as they have the impression that Warri is an aggressive place and its inhabitants, belligerent. Although there is no city without drawbacks, these stereotypes are largely untrue. You can have a marvelous time in this metropolis if you steer certain mistakes and i list things to avoid doing while visiting Warri.



Prolonged Haggling

Every traveler and visitors to a city likes to leave with a souvenir and most times, the best souvenirs are gotten straight from the rural markets or local vendors. Warri certainly boast of various markets an d local vendors abound, however, it is important that you set a budget, have at least a vague idea of what you are looking to buy and you maintain proper decorum while making the purchase in the city’s markets. While the locals do not expect that you would buy their item or product without haggling, they strongly detest prolonged haggling and even worse customers who take too long to decide on a purchase. Most times, you hear vendors make comments like : “ if u wan buy, buy; an if you no wan buy, abeg, dey go” when they are utterly irritated by a tourist buyer.

Responding to pidgin with English

Warri is famed for its unique brand of Pidgin. While they are not very kind to people who try to mock the language or people who speak it wrongly, they are even much more irritated by visitors who respond to them in English (especially polished English or what Nigerian refer to as “Phonee English”) when they originally started the conversation pidgin. “who you dey follow speak spri spri” is a common retort the culprit would get. This mostly applies to visitors from around the country, they tend to make exceptions for foreigners. If you are visiting the city and you know your pidgin is not as fluent and quick as that of the locals, take time to rehearse what you want to say before you utter it, however, if you cannot, try to speak the normal Nigerian English at least, or at most, go with a local. Speaking ‘Queen’s English’ usually gives off a haughty vibe, which they mostly are averse to.

The IMF is pressing Nigeria to further devalue its naira currency amid uncertainty over the political and economic outlook for Africa's biggest oil producer and economy. Analysts said there's disappointment that President Muhammadu Buhari's long-awaited Cabinet list includes no economic stars. The naira has lost 25 percent of its value in the past year and the stock market has plummeted because of political uncertainty and halved prices for oil that provides most government revenue.(AP Photo/Sunday Alamba)

Flashing money and expensive jewelry

This mistake actually should not be made anywhere in the world, no matter how safe you feel the location is. Unless you have able-bodied guards or you are moving in an armored car, flashing money and expensive jewelry makes you a target and is a sure way to attract petty thieves and robbers. In Warri, the pickpockets and marauders are very sharp and quick, and so you may not even know when your possessions are taken from you. If you must carry large sums of money, ensure you have a waist bag or very deep pockets. If you have in a handbag, stay alert and watch the movements around you. Again, if you are commuting by public transport, ensure you hold your wallet and other valuables in your hands where you can keep a good eye on them.

Joining in a conversation without facts

The people in Warri are generally jolly fellows and will welcome anyone’s opinion at any time, especially when its offered in a friendly manner, however, they are not very kind to strays who try to join in on a conversation without knowing the facts. They would usually turn on the person and possibly haul insults at them. If you would like to befriend the locals, especially while visiting a local pub, restrict yourself to asking questions which would require them educating you, this will endear you to them. In the case where you feel you must add your opinion, ensure you are sure of it and can defend it with facts.



Issuing threats

Sometimes, you find yourself issuing threats out of exasperation and frustration; however, while visiting Warri, you may want to put a pin on your emotions. Weigh situations carefully before making any utterances, and also, ensure that you only utter words that you are ready to fulfill. While the Warri locals are not necessarily belligerent, they do not back down on a challenge, and so a simply altercation could turn into a dire situation at any moment. These people think very highly of themselves and would rather get physical than be put down for no just cause.

Ignorant running

The normal reaction when you hear an alarm in a public space or see a group of people run is to join in on the race and flee. While most times, the adrenalin kicks in and you cannot help yourself, you may want to think twice before leaping into action while in Warri. Rather than just run blindly, pause, consider the environment, ask questions to find out what is going on, before setting off, that way you know if there is even need for you to run, and if you do, what direction to take. There have been cases where an innocent run has been mistaken for a thief and thoroughly beaten before the truth was revealed. Keep your ear to the ground in chaotic situation and only run when you are sure you have cause to. If there are gunshots or you see people with arms, it is better to lie on the floor and surrender than run, unless of course, you are as good as Usian Bolt.

The place aat night looks like a space shuttle centre....but you won't know it's a white elephant project a big failure

Mods plss front page na

Ever wondered how life would be assuming the facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was a Nigerian? Well here are 4 things that he might have done or been doing.

LAVISH SPENDER

For a self-made Nigerian Boy with that amount of money at his disposal, he would be at Clubs and Raves, he will pop Rosé today, Ace tomorrow and so on. His instagram pages will be full of goodies with captions ranging from “Play Toys (showcasing his luxurious garage)” to “Bed Frame (using money stacks as bed frame)“. A new babe every other day and he will definitely be friends with all A-List Celebrities (Probably the other way around as we all like famzing)

FAMILY MATTERZ

He definitely will have a village of extended Family members to take care of. His cousin, first cousin, second cousin, down to his 4th Cousin’s 1st Girlfriend will be under his care and expenses. He will be the Chairman of the Occasion at his village’s Occasion, and he will be a Deacon in his Church and not forgetting Silverbird Man of The Year

LEGACY

Like every other rich Nigerian, he would consider going into politics and either sets out as a Godfather or as a Presidential Aspirant (Uncle Pendulum), definitely sort to have an Edifice named after him; street, estate, stadium, University, library, and probably a Local Government Area. Another sure thing is he will have traditional titles from his Father’s Village, Mother’s Village, Wife’s Village, and not forgetting his Ex-Girlfriend’s village as well.

FATHERHOOD

His Toys will surely be in series; Range Sport (Mark 1), Ferrari (Mark 7), Range Vogue (Mark 12). etc. He will definitely have a convoy (trust us Nigerians); from office to his kid’s school (about 1Km), 13 cars and 4 power bikes will surely be on the road to pick his kid. He also will Father many children (Abraham) from several single mothers (Solomon, is that you?).
