THIS IS HOW I WORK

Awesome !!

Last week, we met Florence Okosun, a self-taught Web developer who works at Andela_misstechy

This week, we get to meet another awesome Nigerian lady who currently works as a Designer at Ojo in Lagos State. Without further ado, meet Njfashionhome

I am Oragba Njideka Cordelia
C.E.O Njdeliafashionhome.
From Isuofia in Aguata L.G.A of Anambra state.


This is how I work

I had passion for creativity since I was little.
I learnt and worked for Uzo couture at Onitsha, Anambra State on 2011 before gaining admission to study Food Science and Technology at Federal Polytechnic Oko, Anambra State.

There I met a tutor,mentor, more than a friend to me known as Nkcollection and Precious Appearel

HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF FASHION DESIGN & TECHNIQUES UP TO DATE DESPITE YOUR WORK SCHEDULE & COURSE OF STUDY?

Reading, and lots of it! Also podcasts and videos! I love to use Medium.com. Every morning I get a curated list of articles to read.

I also like to randomly search the internet (Google). Dribbble and Behance as well for inspiration and to get an idea of how other designers are thinking.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE APPS FOR YOUR WORK

I love using Sketch and Invision for light to medium weight work. When I want something more robust I go for Axure. These are all industry standard tools. I also love working with Keynote and am currently learning Principle.

YOU STUDIED FOOD SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY.

HOW DID YOU BECOME A DESIGNER WITHOUT GOING TO A DESIGN SCHOOL? WERE YOU SELF-TAUGHT?http://www.techplan.com.ng/2018/06/08/i-am-oragba-njideka-cordelia-a-designer-at-njdeliafashionhome-and-this-is-how-i-work/

Solution To Car USB Port Not Charging Phone
By Mr Techies - May 25, 2018 12 0


Wondering why your car’s USB port isn’t charging your phone?

Gush !!!

I stumble upon a taxi car from Ekwulobia in Anambra state to Awka the capital city, unfortunately I was expecting a call from my boss @work when my phone was too low to 2% battery percentage.

Hmmmm

Yes ! The driver has a car USB port ..I was waooh!! I felt like dream come true..

I perpetually insert my phone but is quite unfortunate isn’t charging.

I called drivers attention he replied Bro! I just bought this port newly ..I think you are the first person making use of it..

He fold angrily and put it inside his pinjin hole..complaining that the product is fake ..

You’re not alone.

It happens all the time and it’s one of the more common questions we get.
If your car USB port isn’t charging your phone, the problem could be with the port, the cable, or even the phone.

NOT ALL CAR USB PORTS ARE DESIGNED TO CHARGE PHONES, OR POWER PERIPHERAL DEVICES AT ALL, SO THERE’S A CHANCE THAT YOU’RE DEALING WITH THAT TYPE OF SITUATION.

There’s also a chance that there is a compatibility issue between the port and your phone, which may or may not be solved by using a different cable.

The Strengths and Weaknesses of USB Phone Charging in Cars

USB is great because it’s a standard that pretty much everyone has picked up, so you can use the same cables to connect a whole bunch of different things.

The problem is that while USB is capable of transmitting both power and data via the same connection, not every USB port is planned to do that.

And even if a USB port is designed to provide power, minor differences in the way that some companies, like apple, handle USB charging can get in the way.

When USB was first introduced, the initial standard allowed for two different versions of USB ports: data ports and powered data ports.
USB data ports only transmit data back and forth between a device and a computer, while powered data ports transmit both data and power.

I decided to put up this little article to share my little experience with new launched Facebook free customers service..

I never nailed it as a scam by Mark Zuckerberg but it seems to be after reading this little article..all thanks to pindrop for their further research.

Reading duration:2mins

Imagine that one day you’re kicked off Facebook. It happens, regularly. You may not know why exactly.

It looks like an algorithm may have done it — and now you need to reach a human being at the company to get back on.

NPR has interviewed more than two dozen users in that situation — all people who rely on Facebook to do their work, make their living.

THEIR STORIES, WHICH WE’LL SHARE IN A SEPARATE ARTICLE, MADE US WONDER:

If you needed to reach Facebook, what would you do?
Many people would go online and search for “Facebook customer service.”
We tried that, and got this number: 844-735-4595.It was prominently displayed as the top search result on Google.

Google even made it a ” featured snippet ” — that is, a result highlighted in a box at the top, enhanced to draw user attention and lend credibility.

Until recently, a phone number at the top of Google search for “Facebook customer service” led callers to a scam, NPR has found.http://www.techplan.com.ng/2018/05/24/tellzuck_beware-of-facebook-free-customer-servicenew-tools-for-group-adminsa-detailed-insight/

Imagine spending over N200,000+ ($600+) on a smartphone and this happens:

The below photo is my smartphone Samsung galaxy S7 edge with cracked screen

Gush !!!



Well, here is a similar reaction when this happened to one of my devices this year:



Now, imagine the same scenario, but with no effect on the screen.



The guys at TomsGuide put 12 phones to test to determine which phone was the strongest and the weakest.
To achieve this, they dropped it from both 4 and 6 feet onto wood and concrete.



Each drop was worth a maximum of 5 points and the more severe the damage per drop was, the more points were deducted. They also dropped them from 4 feet into a water-filled toilet.





At the end of the tests, they got these results:http://www.techplan.com.ng/2018/05/23/these-are-the-toughest-and-weakest-phones-currently-available-number-3-11-is-kinda-surprising/

A driver’s license is a very important document in Nigeria. It allows you to operate a vehicle legally and serves as a form of identification. Unfortunately, the process of getting a driver’s license can be quite tedious.

Let’s break it down..

I walked in to Nigeria Federal Road Safety Commission capture centre in Anambra state today, (Monday 21st of May, 2018) and I was granted the Nigeria drivers license to drive around the country.

I was issued the temporary Nigeria drivers licence without much delay.
On getting there, the officer on duty asked me for my driving school certificate, learner’s permit and my birth certificate.

I presented the docs to him as requested.
Thereafter, he gave me the Nigeria drivers licence application form to fill. I filled it as required and handed it over to him.

No big deal in the form though.

You will be required to enter your full name, your height, blood group, date of birth, state, local govt, mother maiden name, phone number of next of kin etc You will also have to indicate the number of years you want to apply for; 3 or 5 years.
After filling the form, the officer gave me an account number to go and pay into at Access bank.http://www.techplan.com.ng/2018/05/22/nigeria-drivers-licence-requirements-and-how-much-it-cost-me/

The Internet gave us virtually everything in exchange for our privacy, which we voluntarily gave away with no questions asked, yet we keep clamouring for data privacy.

The reality is that almost all technology companies, at one point or the other, are collecting our data and we are happy with it.
The government is also not left out in the harvesting of our information at will.
Back in 2005, the then US President, George W. Bush authorised the National Security Agency to intercept the international communications of people with known links to Al-Qaeda and related terrorist organisations.

In 2013, the Nigerian government reportedly
commissioned a $40 million contract to an Israel-based company to spy on Nigerians on the Internet.

And there’s evidence suggesting that the Bayelsa State government employed the services of an Italian-based company, Hacking Team, to
hack its citizens in 2013.

While recently checking out collateral-free loan providers in Nigeria, my loan request on one of the providers couldn’t go through as the mobile app requested access to information from my mobile device which included my SMS log, among others.
Since I am not registered for SMS notifications for my banking services, I couldn’t get my loan request approved.

The recent data breach scandal involving Cambridge Analytical and Facebook is just a case of making a scapegoat out of Facebook.

According to Chris Saad, a serial entrepreneur, Facebook didn’t sell users’ data; Cambridge Analytica bought the data from another company that had built a quiz app that has Facebook users’ data.

Just like the quiz app, we have at one point or the other shared our data with third-party apps, both on and off the social network giant.

The Internet is taking more than it’s giving or better put, we are giving the Internet more — surrendering our privacy for convenience and we don’t even care .
We turn to Twitter for our ranting sprees, post images on Instagram and Snapchat with our locations, update our friends about our daily lives using WhatsApp status and Facebook.

Repeat after me
Data privacy is a myth….
Data privacy is a myth……

132 24 people are talking about this
A lot of companies offer ‘disguised’ free services and in exchange, they gather data which is then sold to companies in need.



The 2013 documentary movie — Terms and Conditions May Apply — gives an insight into how Internet companies are getting people’s data and how it has eventually affected privacy.
Social Lender, a collateral-free loan provider, uses social media to determine people’s creditworthiness. And just recently, it was reported that the United States will start using social media history as part of its vetting exercise for visa application processes.

No doubt, data is the future but at what cost?

Corporations like the Cambridge Analytical, among others, are holding and feeding off harvested data, and smartphone have only made this more feasible; we are already talking about the Internet of Things where everything will be connected to the Internet.

Service providers on the Internet have terms and conditions which we don’t bother reading but accept them. How can we claim to have our privacy taken away when we actually give it up?

READING FACEBOOK’S TERMS WILL TAKE YOU ABOUT 25 MINUTES — AN IRRECOVERABLE 25 MINUTES OF ONE’S LIFEhttp://www.techplan.com.ng/2018/05/22/facts-privacy-is-a-mythfacebook-is-a-scapegoat/

Our homes are crucial for the upbringing of us and our future generations. Home is where a lot of your life is spent.

Though am a food scientist but still I give my room the best design and decoration without the help of an architect.

I organize these little article after having a problem with my spouse which last up to years now just because am always busy due to the nature of my job.
Reason: She wants me to help her fix the room I.e decoration & design..but these post really solved her problem even when we are no more dating..

Gush!!

I really know it will help in some relationship’s so they won’t fall victim as I did.
Let’s stick to the business of the day
Keeping this in mind, the way your home is designed should be of utmost importance to everyone. Some people like to take the onus of decorating and designing their homes into their own hands.
When you design your home yourself, you know for a fact that it’s a big part of you.

Some architects can even make their lives easier and save on architect’s fees by designing their future home themselves.
To make this possible, there are a large number of apps available on the Play Store that let you design your home, regardless of its size.

Even if you don’t have a home construction coming up and still have a thing for designing beautiful homes, these apps will help you build your dream home for the future.
