The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has extended the services of 32 corps members in the 2016 Batch A stream 1 posted in Ekiti State to three months for various misconducts such as truancy.

The NYSC Coordinator in Ekiti State, Mrs Eze Ukagha, disclosed this on Friday in Ado-Ekiti during the passing out parade of the remaining 1,380 corps members.

Ukagha said that two out of the 1,422 corps members posted to the state for the batch, however, received state honours award for hard work and commitment to the values of the scheme.

The coordinator said NYSC would not tolerate any act capable of undermining its aims and objectives.

She, however, said during the one year service, the corps members acquired entrepreneurial skills that would enable them to be independent after their service and be employers of labour, rather than job seekers.

Ukagha said that most of the corps members in the batch demonstrated unalloyed patriotism during the service year and were worthy ambassadors of their fatherland.

The state coordinator, therefore, called on them to build on the existing foundation of the scheme by contributing their quota to the development of the country.(NAN)

Two institutions of higher learning are currently under investigation by regulatory bodies for allegedly presenting unqualified persons to the NYSC for mobilization.

The Director-General, Brigadier General Sulaiman Kazaure, disclosed this in his keynote address at the 2017 Batch ‘A’ Pre-Mobilization Workshop in Minna, Niger State.

He noted that despite the effort of the NYSC to stem the tide of uploading of unqualified candidates and graduates of part-time programmes, a few institutions had adopted new strategies to sustain the unwholesome practice.

“Among other things, the law excludes all non-holders of HND and First Degree, graduates of institutions not recognized by the Federal Government and graduates of part-time programmes, etc.

“However, some institutions even as lately as the last mobilization exercise assisted people in these mentioned categories to infiltrate the service corps,” he said.

Kazaure said if found guilty, the two institutions being investigated would have appropriate sanctions meted out to them while the graduates they fraudulently presented for mobilization would be withdrawn from service.

The Director-General reminded Corps Producing Institutions that, as moulders of future leaders, they have the responsibility to guide their students to the right path rather than abet forgery and other criminal tendencies.

He also highlighted other issues that hamper achievement of a seamless mobilization process and stressed the need for all stakeholders to cooperate with the scheme towards addressing them.

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Monday, denied the report flying on the social media that the scheme had commenced posting of corps members to countries abroad.

The Director General of the NYSC, Brig-General Suleiman Kazaure said in spite of some people trying to run down the scheme and give it a battered image, they had improved on the online registration to ensure efficiency in the system.

Kazaure, who was speaking at a workshop organised by the image makers of the scheme in Abuja, said that the scheme would not operate outside it enabling laws, saying “we are on the right track.

“With the online registration we have been able to check ghost corps members and a lot of things no doubt it has make it easier for both prospective corps members and scheme.”

Buttressing the DG’s point on mobilization, the Director of Press and Public Relations, Mrs Abosede Aderibigbe told Vanguard that posting corps members abroad to serve was not part of the law that established the NYSC.

Describing the report as misleading, Aderibigbe urged the public not to take social media report as the position of the NYSC. “It is a lie. I saw it on face book; it is not in the Act that established the NYSC. We do not operate outside the law that created the scheme,” she concluded.

Kazaure explained that the need to enhance public perception necessitated the organization of the workshop, calling on the participants “to remain focused in line with our determination to enhance operational efficiency in all ramifications.”

This is a sign of good things to come.

MINISTER for Works, Power and Housing, Mr Raji Fashola, has said that the present administration in the country will not abandon projects already started by the immediate past government of President Goodluck Jonathan, saying that change needs not be dysfunctional.

Speaking at the commissioning of 100 units of ministerial pilot housing scheme for lecturers of LAUTECH, Ogbomoso, financed by the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN), off Ogbomoso-Ilorin expressway at the weekend, Mr Fashola said that purpose of political power was to improve human dignity.

“I want to acknowledge that this housing estate project was started during the last administration in 2014. It’s important to do so. But I know that traditionally when administrations change, especially when political ideologies also change, people are apprehensive of what happened to uncompleted projects. People may have been worried what would happen to this estate. Gladly today, President Buhari has said that change does not have to be dysfunctional. And that there’s no politics about housing. It’s human dignity that’s most important. That’s purpose of political power.

“So, for those who ask what change means. It means change does not have to be dysfunctional and it’s all about service to people. Hundreds of families would live in this neighbourhood, and that’s change.

“Another thing that has changed is this. We have heard stories of money being hidden in all sorts of funny places. And this happened at a time of great prosperity, when the country was making lots of money. Many more of this would have been completed. Buhari administration is saying that instead of hiding your money inside garages, we would make your money work for you.

And that’s change. Leadership and management in FMBN have also changed. And the evidence in many housing estates in different parts of the country bears that out. For the first time in 20 years, FMBN is returning a surplus of N2.7 billion in 2016”, he said.

The ministers, who commended the developer and the almost 1,000 artisans who built the estate, said that they had helped to build their country
He also said that more housing provision would be enabled when Nigerians that were already allocated houses pay up on their allocation, adding that it was a partnership that could make more housing possible.

Also speaking, the acting managing director of the FMBN, Mr. Richard Esin, said that the construction loan of N561.2 million was advanced by the bank to the developer to deliver the 100 housing units.

Esin, who said that the housing units comprised of 48 units of 3-bedroom semi detached bungalows, 40 units of 2-bedroon semi detached bungalows, added that it included 12 units of 1-bedroom terrace bungalows.

He said that Nigerian workers, on the basis of their contribution to the National Housing Fund (NHF) scheme became eligible for mortgage loans at a concessionary interest rate of 6 per cent per annum and repayable over a maximum period of 30 years.

He said that the FMBN had invested a total sum of N2.303 billion to finance construction of 624 housing units in Oyo state, adding that the bank had also funded 527 housing project units through different developers in Ibadan.

The Federal Government has clearly spelt out the irresistible benefits that await whistleblowers as it also pledges protection for them.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said any whistle-blower whose information leads to the recovery of up to 1 billion Naira will receive 5 per cent of the amount.

According to him, the reward for any amount between 1 and 5 billion Naira will be 5 per cent for the first 1 billion Naira and 4 per cent of the remaining 4 billion Naira, and that any amount over 5 billion Naira will attract 2.5% reward.

According to NAN computation, a whistleblower that leads Nigeria to the recovery of cash or assets worth N5billion, will earn N210million.

”For example, if a whistleblower provides information leading to the recovery of 10 billion Naira, he or she will receive five per cent of the first one billion Naira, four per cent of the next four billion Naira and 2.5 per cent of the remaining five billion Naira.

”What we have done by making this information public is to reassure potential whistle-blowers that the plan to reward is real. We are not just saying we will pay all whistle-blowers, but we are letting them know in advance what they are entitled to, once the information they provide leads to the recovery of looted funds,” he said.

Mohammed also gave the assurance that the government will protect the identity of all whistleblowers,whether in the public or the private sector, and also ensure that the information they provide is kept secret.

”Whistleblowers have nothing to fear, because the committee has put in place the necessary measures to safeguard those who give useful information. As a matter of fact, whistle-blowers have everything to gain and nothing to lose,” Mohammed said

”For those who may have suffered any backlash as a result of the information they provide, their cases will be reviewed and appropriate mitigating actions taken,” he said.

A civil servant working for the Foreign Affairs Ministry was said to be have been sacked after exposing some theft in an agency of the ministry.

His case is being reviewed by the Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, following the directive of Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.

Alhaji Mohammed said the assurance of protection followed the presentations made to the Presidential Assets Recovery Committee by concerned citizens and groups about the safety of whistle-blowers.

”Whistleblowers have nothing to fear, because the committee has put in place the necessary measures to safeguard those who give useful information. As a matter of fact, whistle-blowers have everything to gain and nothing to lose,” he said.

Instinct Wave Group Ltd, a consulting firm has released its pioneering report on the performance of Nigerian government’s agencies and parastatals on the social media which showed poor grasp by state governments and ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) despite huge budget allocations.

The report titled ‘Nigeria Public Sector Social Media Report’ drew conclusion on the amount of followers and likes they have on their Twitter accounts, Facebook pages, Instagram followership, YouTube subscribers, existing LinkedIn accounts for staff and how often they share relevant service information to the Nigerian public, likewise their feedback mechanism.

According to the study, Independence National Electoral Commission (INEC) is the most visible government agency in Nigeria on the social media platforms. The agency has Twitter: 726,000 Followers, Facebook: 266, 151 Likes and Instagram: 37, 000 followers.

For engagement and reach engagement level, INEC has Facebook – 60 per cent, Twitter – 85 per cent and Instagram – 30 per cent. Others who follow closely are Nigeria Police Force (NPF) with Twitter: 406,000 followers, Facebook: 510, 661 Likes,Instagram: 2, 836 followers, YouTube: 224 subscribers, LinkedIn: 908 followers.

On engagement level and reach, NPF has Facebook – 70per cent, Twitter – 60 per cent, YouTube – 30 per cent, LinkedIn- five per cent and Instagram – 60 per cent. Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) which comes third on the table has Twitter: 203,000 followers,Facebook: 290, 247 Likes,Instagram: 2,626 Followers, LinkedIn: 1,011 Followers. For its engagement level and reach, FRSC has Facebook – 80 per cent, Twitter – 80 per cent, Instagram – 50 per cent and LinkedIn – 20per cent.

The report also implies that the use of social media applications has been averagely accepted in public sector in Nigeria. However, the acceptance, and broader adoption of sophisticated tactics that go beyond information and education paradigm, such as true engagement or networking strategies are still in its infancy.

Despite embracing the use of the social media platforms, the agencies and parastatals in the sector face challenges such as leveraging the energy of a new generation, and use it to drive a new, positive culture that supports high performance, poor engagement, poor capacity building on social media knowledge (SMK), duplication of Social Media platforms and creating a non-business social media platforms.

Others are lack of understanding of generating rightful and engaging content, lack of sharing of best practises with the private sector initiative, lack of new strategies and innovation of social media tools, poor knowledge of engaging and connecting with the right audience, management/analysis of social media accounts and overview of feedbacks.

Since nobody is physically present to observe or regulate what you are doing online or on the internet, it has become a free for all. A platform where you can do whatever you like. Very few internet users self-regulate themselves. This is why it is easier for people to lie on the internet. Jumia Travel , the leading online booking agency shares some of these lies.

Biographical information
Biographical information is a holistic description of yourself. It includes your name, where you reside, language and other basic information. Perhaps, we don’t want to waste time when filling out forms or signing up on social media, we simply enter incorrect information including a fake email.

Interests
Some persons lie about what they are interested in. They want to paint a positive picture of themselves online, so they prefer to lie about their interest. You may not be interested in skiing and bowling but because it is a requirement, you just say you are. What will you do when you are invited for an interview and they ask you to ski or bowl?

Age and birthday
This is perhaps the online lie almost everyone has told. We have entered other dates besides your actual dates of birth. So, many people have different dates of birth and birthdays online. So, which DOB is your own? Just give your real DOB as it only takes you less than 2 minutes to fill these forms.

Your photos
Many people doctor their online photos that you are unable to recognize them. In other cases, they post fake and trendy pictures all in the name of looking good. And perhaps, they do this because they want to get more comments and likes.

What you’ve read
The internet has made simplified a lot of things. It is possible to lie that you have read a book and if you are asked to review the book you have read, you can Google and get a summary. Done! So, we can say the internet has made it less difficult not to lie.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has insisted that it would not extend the period of sale of forms and registration of candidates for its 2017 Computer Based Test (CBT) UTME.

JAMB Registrar, Professor Is-haq Oloyede speaking at the University of Lagos said registration of candidates for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination would be for a period of one month only. This is within March 20 to April 19, as against the previous three months period.

He noted that the period of registration is reduced from three months to one month to eliminate all ills associated with prolonged registration of candidates.

“There will also be mock examination for prospective candidates, and this examination will be purely optional. Those who register for the mock examination will sit for it on April 8, but the UTME proper will commence on May 6 to May 20. We have put in place facilities that will make it easy for candidates to register. For instance, as soon as a candidate creates his profile on his mobile phone, automatically, we will send our e-syllabus and e-brochure into his e-mail. So, even before going to pay for the mock, he already has all the materials that he will need for the registration.

“We are also talking to CBT centre operators not to extort candidates just as we are also asking candidates not to pay now for the mock examination which is purely optional,’’ the registrar explained adding that the mock examination had been made free by JAMB for interested candidates.

Oloyede added that candidates would pay N700 to owners of centres where they would be posted at the point of registration for the mock examination.

“There will also be no cash transaction. Candidates can use their ATMs or if they must use cash, they can pay into the banks to avoid extortion of any kind. This is because there are people out there that want to take advantage of these candidates’ naivety. So it is important for candidates to keep passwords to their e–emails, ATM cards and even registration numbers to themselves and safe, to avoid being exposed to those who might want to take advantage of them’’, he added.

The registrar added that over 600 public and private centres had been approved for the conduct of this year’s UTME nationwide.

Most relationship starts with all the fun you could imagine, but in a short while all of this could be lost and we would be left to wonder why. It's not like you have stopped falling in love with each other, what is happening is behavioral change and if this is not checked quickly it cab ruin the relationship. Am sure you don't want that to happen that's why you are here, so here are the top 10 behaviors written by www.kikiotolu.com that can ruin your relationship and I would be telling you how you avoid them.

1. Acting Like You Are Single: This is a top relationship killer. Since you are in a relationship you should never act like you are single. This sort of attitude would be sending all the wrong signals to your partner and this could over time ruin your relationship.

2. Not Honouring Your Partner: Yeah, it's cool to joke at times and make fun but when it leads to you being over sarcastic it can destroy even the best Bollywood relationship. So try to be more humane and honour your partner.

3. Lack Of Affection: I know some of us love to prove that we can do without the opposite s*x and go about our daily affair like we don't care. But hey, you are now in a relationship and this needs to be put to stop if you want the relationship to work out.

4. Focusing On Your Phone More Than Your Partner: Most of us are guilty of this crime (yes its a crime when it comes to relationship). This is no wonder why numerous relationship crashes nowadays. You need to save some more time for your partner and pay attention to them. That if you want the relationship to work out.

5. Nagging: This is the marriage killer. And not only the females are guilty of this, men also have their own irritating way to Nag. So if you sure want your relationship to last long (forever) then kill the nagging spirit in you rather than it killing your relationship.

6. Dishonesty: Trust is key in every relationship and we are all sensitive to trust issues in different ways. Some might take a "petty lie" as a big deal while others would simply ignore it. So to get the best out of your relationship try your best to be honest. This is even going to make it better for you as if you have nothing to hide from your partner you are bound to feel better around that special person.

7. Avoiding Eye Contacts: If at all you are not used to having eye contacts with people since you are in a relationship and with that special one (as you have claimed) then you would need to start having eye contacts with that person. Else you would be sending a wrong signal like you have something to hide.

8. Being Financially Irresponsible: Now that you are in a relationship there are a lot of aspects of your life which needs to change POSITIVELY. If you where the type who spends lavishly and irresponsibly then it's high time you opt for a change else you would be clearly telling your partner that you are not responsible.

9. Being Dominant: It is so glaring that everyone wants to be free and nobody wants to be tied down by a dominant figure. So when in a relationship try your best not to be too over bearing on your partner so as not to make them feel insecure.

10. Always Being On The Edge: Nobody loves that face of you frowning, and I don't think you love it either. So do your partner more good by looking more cheerful and less on the edge like a grenade waiting to explode.

We create blogs for people to visit and read our content. But most times, we find this is not the case and it seems like our blogs are not visible to our target audience. Kikiotolu shares 7 ways to help increase your blog’s traffic.

1. BE STRATEGIC WITH YOUR CONTENT MARKETING EFFORTS
Increasing your blog traffic is not just about creating quality content, it’s largely about being strategic about your content. This means you should ensure your content meets a specific need. It should be centered on your audience, what they love and what they want to read.

For ideas on this, you can check out Quora or any popular question-and-answer site to know the questions people want answered that relate to your blog’s focus. You can also try blog topic generators, keyword search tools or content marketing tools like Buzzsumo to learn more about what your target audience reads and what gets their attention. In all, be sure to incorporate appealing infographics and visual aids for your posts, to create content that people will want to read and share.

Also, to help your content marketing efforts you should ensure you post evergreen content on your blog, one that will remain relevant even after a long while. You should also ensure your headlines are catchy and useful enough to your target audience to get clicked.

2. TAILOR YOUR CONTENT TO AN AUDIENCE LIKELY TO SHARE
Try to tailor your content to and target communities that are active with content sharing. For example, great and useful infographics, interesting videos and remarkable collection of facts and articles that contain interesting information should be targeted at audiences who are potential content distributors (people who are sure to have accounts on multiple social networks) and heavy content sharers (people who are extremely active users that run blogs, sites or are growing their social network to influencer level).

3. FIND OUT WHERE A LARGE PORTION OF YOUR AUDIENCE IS
Google search can help you with this. You basically need to identify blogs, forums, websites and social media communities where active discussions and content about subjects within your blog’s focus are shared. A web-based tool like Google’s Display Planner can help you expand and be more definitive with your search.

Once you’ve identified the communities, you can start participating in them. But be careful not to rush into this participation, first attempt to understand the nature of the community and what is and isn’t appropriate in the community, to avoid mistakes when commenting and contributing.

4. INSTALL AN ANALYTICS SOFTWARE
One of the best and free analytics software to install is Google Analytics. This tool will help you see where visits originate, the sources that drive quality traffic and what others are saying about you and your content when they link over. The great insights gotten from this tool will help to define your marketing path and help you put more effort into effective marketing paths. It will also help you know where you are succeeding and where you have an opportunity.

5. JOIN SOCIAL SHARING COMMUNITIES
Social sharing sites present a great way to share your content. Aside the fact that they provide excellent inspiration for your blog posts, they also provide a platform that engages with other social sharing platforms and increase the likelihood of getting more fans and developing more links and traffic. You should be sure to be active on these platforms and engage with others, don’t just drop-by to simply leave links and upload posts and go.

6. GUEST BLOG (AND ALLOW OTHERS TO GUEST BLOG ON YOUR BLOG TOO)
No man is an island. You should entertain the idea of guest blogging on other blogs and allowing others to guest blog on yours. Friends and professional connections can help with this, especially if you are just starting out with your blog and don’t have much bloggers interesting in guest blogging on your blog or allowing you guest blog on theirs.

Guest blogging is a great way to spread your reach and increase your traffic. You should ensure you do not get discouraged when you get multiple ‘no’ responses. You should also send samples of your work along with your request to guest blog. In addition, rather than asking for a fresh contribution from someone with a ‘significant industry profile’, ask them for specific pieces they have written before that apply to your area.

Being an entrepreneur is not a child’s play. It takes a lot of guts and conviction for you to take the bold step to become an entrepreneur. More so if you are in Nigerian. When these entrepreneurs are eventually successful, there are certain things that they do or have in common that result in these achievements. So what are these things? Jumia Travel , the leading online travel agency identifies some of these things. This will help budding and young entrepreneurs to take similar actions or steps.

1. They believe in their ideas
Successful entrepreneurs don’t wait for anyone to validate their ideas. This is because they have invested a reasonable time in researching the workability and practicability of the ideas before sharing it with potential investors and friends. So, whether your friend or investor believes in your idea, they are not worried, they pursue it to a viable conclusion. Their positivity will always rub off on those around them.

2. They find solutions to problems
Entrepreneurs easily find solutions to problems and provide answers via a product or service. This is why it is essential to conduct market research to test your solutions. When you have a market, be sure that your solution will solve the problem your target market has.

3. They delegate
Successful entrepreneurs don’t do everything on their own. Except you want to experience entrepreneurial burnout, you will always delegate. What you should delegate are the things you have little or no knowledge about.

4. They go the extra mile
Entrepreneurs are never satisfied with doing things haphazardly. They are exhaustive and if they need to go the extra mile, they will. In going the extra mile, they sacrifice a quite a number of things.

5. They schedule everything
As a business man, your schedule is always tight. You are always in one meeting or another. The only way you can manage yourself and time is by scheduling everything. Don’t postpone anything. Be at home when you are supposed to and go on vacation to Obudu Resort when you are meant to.

6. They invest in their own skills
Whether you are an entrepreneur or not you should always hone your skills. Successful entrepreneurs never hesitate to educate themselves.

Some might find it interesting to know that moderate alcohol consumption actually has some benefits, but the problem, however, is when you fail to keep this consumption moderate. Chances are you consider yourself a moderate drinker, believing you are responsible for your alcohol consumption, without knowing that your ‘simple’ one or two or three glasses of drink has slipped into something harmful. Jumia Travel shares 7 signs you are going overboard with your alcohol consumption.

1. CONSTANTLY NEEDING TO PEE AT NIGHT
The human body makes something known as an anti-diuretic hormone to regulate the amount of urine in our bodies. At night, more of this hormone is produced to help reduce the volume of urine produced so you wouldn’t have to pee so much or at all in the night. Alcohol decreases the production of this hormone and causes you to produce more urine, which therefore makes you wake up to pee constantly at night.

If you are under 65, even if you naturally drink a lot of fluids like water, fruits etc during the day, at night you really shouldn’t have to wake up to pee. If you do have to wake up to pee, maybe only once; but definitely not every night. If you notice this constant need to pee every night, check your alcohol consumption, it might be the cause.

2. REGULARLY WAKING UP WITH DRY EYES
Alcohol dehydrates your entire body and also ends up in your tears, interfering with the lubrication of your eyes. When you notice that your eyes become sticky and you regularly wake up with dry eyes, check that your alcohol intake isn’t to blame.

3. SPENDING TIME IN THE DAY THINKING OF HAVING A DRINK
You might not necessarily be drinking multiple glasses of drinks all day, but if the thought of a glass of drink is what gets you through the day or any difficult situation, that’s a warning sign. Your mantra becomes, “When I get home, I can have a drink”, “Let me just deal with this and I can have a drink” etc. Using alcohol to self-medicate depression or anxiety, only ends up making things worse because alcohol is a depressant itself.

4. NOT SLEEPING WELL
Constant alcohol consumption, especially when in excess, can cause your brain to forget how to sleep efficiently and causes fragmented sleep cycles. You, thus, tend to miss out on the ‘restorative’ parts of your sleep, even on nights you haven’t even had a drink.

5. TIREDNESS AND FORGETFULNESS
While in your body, alcohol becomes a stimulant when the body breaks it down. In the process, it releases sugars and other substances that cause you to wake up more and most times stops you from getting into REM (the most active part of sleep), which is very important for helping the brain to process mood and for memory. Without getting enough REM, you wake up feeling more grumpy, tired and forgetful.

6. BEING ABLE TO HOLD YOUR DRINK
While most people are cheered for this, being able to have a couple of drinks without feeling tipsy is a sign that you are drinking regularly. You are thus able to ‘hold your drink’ because your body has built up a tolerance to the short-term effects of alcohol. The process of your body building up this tolerance increases the production of enzymes that break down the alcohol and in the long-term increases the risk of liver damage.

7. PEOPLE CLOSE TO YOU ARE CONCERNED
If your friends, family, co-workers or anyone close to you has hinted or voiced out that it’s time to cut back your alcohol consumption, you should listen. You can ask for their help in helping you cut back and think of ways they can help to hold you accountable.

After buying a new smartphone, there will be no complaints because it is in a perfect condition and working fine. However, when the excitement of buying a smartphone eventually wears off, your phone starts acting up as it becomes very slow and unresponsive. This may be as a result of the way you use your phone. The undeniable fact is that we all want our smartphone to run like brand new even though you have used it for two years. In line with this, Jumia Travel shares ways to ensure that your smartphone runs like brand new.

1. Uninstall dormant apps
There are limitless numbers of free apps you can download in the Google or iPhone store. Since you don’t have to pay, you download both relevant and irrelevant apps on your smartphone. If you do this, then you don’t need to complain about your phone working like a snail. What you should do is to get apps you are not using in order to free up space.

2. Ensure you update your OS
Phone manufacturers don’t in these smartphones include updates for fun. These updates are to ensure that your phone is in sync with the latest version. So, whether you are using an Android or iPhone, you should always update the Operating System intermittently for maximum performance.

3. Clear your home screen
Your home screen makes it easier for you to access your apps. So, many of us prefer to have all our apps on the home screen. This can impact the way your phone functions. You should always clear your home screen or you delete app icons you don’t use regularly.

4. Free up some space
Your phone memory may be filled up or there may be some file residues after you uninstall an app. This will no doubt take up much-needed space. So, you should always clean your phone to free up space.

5. Reset your phone
The worst case scenario is for you to simply reset your phone. This is when your phone is totally unresponsive. But before you reset, transfer your pictures, files, and videos so that you don’t lose them. Most times, the reset will restore the factory setting.

You rely heavily on your computer to get your jobs done. If anything happens to it, you may lose all your important files and other essential documents. This is why you should be careful what you do both in terms of hardware and software with your computer. This will prevent you from putting your computer at risk.

Nevertheless, some persons don’t know the things they are doing that may be putting their computers at risk. Jumia Travel , the leading online travel agency identifies some of them.

1. You don’t backup your files
This is arguably one of the crudest things you do that is putting your computer at risk. But still, some persons don’t consider it important to backup their files. If you don’t want to lose the work of a lifetime, you should never forget to save your files in a hard drive or any cloud services of your choice. You can access these files anytime and anywhere.

2. No antivirus
How can you use a system without an antivirus? In this age and time? Even if you don’t have money to buy antivirus, you can download free antivirus or you simply use windows defender. The rule of thumb is that you should never use any system without an antivirus.

3. You are using weak password
The function of a password is to prevent unauthorized access to your system. Therefore, you should avoid using a weak password. Worse still, some people don’t even bother to use any password. You may not only lose your files, you will also lose money depending on the type of job you do.

4. You are not cleaning your computer
Your computer is looking very haggard and dusty because you are too lazy to clean it. Soon, the dust will affect the fan. And you know if the fan doesn’t work, your system will begin to heat up and if you still ignore it, you may need to prep it for repairs or get ready to buy another one.

5. You still using Windows XP
Using Windows XP is like you are still in the Stone Age. The world has gone beyond and probably forgotten the Windows XP. This is because there have been several upgrades including Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Windows XP will leave your computer vulnerable because it lacks security features that will protect your system.

6. You just download anything online
You don’t have antivirus and you are still downloading anything that catches your fancy online. Before long, your system will be infected with a virus and if you are not careful, it will eventually crash.

Justice Nathaniel Ayo-Emmanuel of the Federal High Court, Ibadan, on Tuesday adjourned till April 6 further hearing in the case of seizure of the May/June 2015 SSCE results of Christ National Model College, Ido, Ibadan.

The judge adjourned the case in order to allow the West African Examination Council to appear in court.

According to NAN, Mrs Elizabeth Shittu, council to the plantiff, approached the court to order the examination body to release the 2015 May/June SSCE results of 100 of its students.

Shittu, one of the allegations levelled against the secondary school by WAEC was that the 100 students who sat for the examination cheated
She said WAEC also alleged that the school carried out substitution of some examination papers like Animal Husbandry and English Language while the school failed to explain how the substitution was done.

But the plaintiff’s counsel argued that such substitution should not have led to the cancellation of all the papers of the entire students of the school.

WAEC, however, had yet to appear in court to respond to the plaintiff’s submission.

The Lagos airport whether local or international is one of the busiest in Nigeria and arguably in Africa. The airport which is supposed to highlight Nigeria’s history, culture and tourism to both local and international travellers is a shadow of itself.

How? When you arrive Nigeria, there should be available information about our history, way of life, choice destinations to visit and best hotels to stay . Unfortunately nothing! The airport is a microcosm of the larger Nigerian society where government services are barely up to scratch.

Even with the concession of the airport, it hasn’t changed its fortunes. So, if you ply the Lagos airport often, Jumia Travel gathers some of the struggles you can readily relate with. This is to encourage the government to fix the Lagos airport to meet international standards because it is Nigeria’s window to the world.

1. Epileptic power supply
You can only imagine the disgust when you arrive in your country and everywhere is dark. It is a rude welcome to Nigeria. The reason for this? The power grid of the airport has shut down. Some people will not be surprised by this because beyond the airport, electricity is unstable. The intermittent power outage at the Lagos airport is the height of embarrassment to use torchlight to taxi your way through the airport. There should be nothing like power interruption at any airport in Nigeria let alone Lagos airport.

2. Fanning yourself
Due to poor ventilation and absence of enough air conditioners, you have to provide air by fanning yourself.

3. Officials asking for tips
The different officials tasked with the responsibility of ensuring the airport function without any hitches are the ones who use underhand ways to collect tips from travellers. While some greet you excessively, others ask you pointedly to offer them something.

4. Spending hours to be cleared
With recurring power outages, you have to spend hours being cleared by the different regulatory agencies at the airport. And there are many of them. Their services are very slow when there is power. You can only imagine how their services will look like when there is no power. It is worse when you still have to fan yourself through this harrowing ordeal.

5. Ambush by Taxi drivers
For travellers who have no one to pick them up at the airport, they are at the mercy of taxi drivers or individuals scavenging for persons who may need their services. As you are leaving the arrival lounge, their voices will be the next you hear. The disorderly manner they ambush travellers who have just arrived is the problem.

These days, it seems like as the sales of smartphones rise, the issues found on these devices rise. Thankfully, some of these common problems can be fixed without having to take it to a technician; all you need is the knowledge of how to fix them. To help with the acquisition of this knowledge, Jumia Travel , the leading online travel agency, shares 6 common smartphone problems and how they can be fixed.

Smartphone is Running Slowly
This is the most common smartphone problem. This problem is most of the time caused by keeping apps running when not in use, installing unnecessary apps that choke your device’s RAM storage and saving numerous files on your device which congest your internal storage.

Solution: Close apps that are not in use, uninstall and disable unnecessary apps, free up your device’s storage and clear your cached data. If the issue still isn’t resolved you can download diagnostic apps like Phone Doctor Plus and Z-Device Test to help pinpoint the problem. You can also perform a factory data reset to wipe your device clean, leaving the software of your phone the way it was when it was first turned on.

Bluetooth Issues
Most Bluetooth issues are either pairing or interference issues. These can occur over time, sometimes due to the build of cached data in the ‘Bluetooth share’ system app or due to interference from sources like microwaves, wireless speakers, certain external monitors and LCD displays, Direct Satellite Service (DSS), power sources like power lines or stations, 2.4GHz or 5GHz phones or wireless RF video.

Solution: You can try switching off and switching on on your Bluetooth, if it is malfunctioning. If it still doesn’t work, go to Settings> Apps> Systems Apps> Select Bluetooth Share> Clear Cache. The steps vary for different smartphone brands, but the important thing to know is that ‘Bluetooth Share’ is a system app and should be sourced from the system apps of your phone.

For interference issues, either switch off the source of interference or take your device away from it. For pairing issues, you should make sure your device’s discoverable mood is on, get away from or power down likely interferers and make sure the devices you are attempting to pair are in close proximity to each other. If these don’t work, you can try powering your phone off and back on and limiting the data shared between the devices, before trying the above suggestions again.

Cracked Screen or Immersion in Water
We all know water and electronics are not a good mix, but unfortunately accidents happen and devices suddenly get immersed in water or have a hard impact with the floor when they mistakenly slip.

Solution: To avoid such accidents, a sturdy mobile phone case and screen protector can help to protect your phone. Though relatively expensive, it’s a worthy investment because they can help prevent cracked screens and water entering the phone’s ports.

Battery Problems
Battery problems are also fairly common in smartphones. The common battery problems are battery drain, slow charging and ‘system-hogging’ apps. They are mostly caused by users’ abuse.

Solution: To solve this issue you should start by stopping unnecessary apps from running and desist from using defective or wrong chargers to charge your phone. Google Play Service is a feature on most Android phones that drains a lot of battery, so you should clear the cache at least once a month to stop it from draining your battery. Also, you can reduce your screen’s brightness; shorten your screen timeout; and reduce the frequency your widgets and background apps update.

Phone or Apps Crashes
This is indeed a frustrating problem. It can be caused by bugs in your apps, too many apps open at a time, too little memory on the phone etc.

Solution: If your apps crash, you can clear the app data from ‘App Info’ or ‘App Manager’ (depending on how it’s named on your device). Also, learn to clear your cached data and avoid opening too many apps at a time.

For phone crashes, you can try troubleshooting your device for random restarts, troubleshooting apps on your device for random restarts, remove the case and external battery of your device for a short while, or performing a factory data reset on your device.

MicroSD Card Not Working On Your Smartphone
There are a lot of microSD cards in the market, but unfortunately not all of them will work on your smartphone. That can be frustrating.

Solution: There are mostly two types of microSD cards that you’ll come across – SDHC and SDXC. Before you buy any of them, you need to confirm the one which your smartphone supports. In terms of speed, most smartphones support these three primary speed classes of microSD cards: Class 10, UHS-1 Class 1, and UHS-1 Class 3. There are also UH-2 cards but only a limited number of mobile devices support them.

You should watch out for these labels when buying microSD cards for your smartphones. MicroSD card type (SDHC or SDXC) and capacity (GB or TB) are labeled on the card. The three speed classes above also have logos to signify their minimum speed. Class 10 is the letter C with the number 10 inside. UHS-1 Class 1 and Class 3 are the letter U with a 1 or 3 inside, respectively. Finally, you may also see a I or II label on the card, which references a UHS bus speed.

One of the jokes that went round in the social media last week could pass off as humour at the expense of the womenfolk. It says “Gentlemen, if you have N5,000 in the house and your wife has N55,000, the total amount of money in that house is N5,000. Are we together?” Of course, the men are together on this.

They believe the women will never disclose the actual amount of money they have to their husbands. But can we say women are also together on this issue? Interestingly, many women are in agreement with the men. The wife believes the husband is the head of the family and it is his responsibility to provide everything that will be needed in the house.

After all when she married him, she dropped her maiden name and adopted his name while all their children bear his name, he should therefore be ready to shoulder all the burden. There may be few exceptions but most housewives don’t like their husbands to know how much money they have.

Although, it is believed that about 50 per cent of all the spouses hide money from each other, women indeed, are accused of being the greatest culprits in this regard. In fact, one in every five Nigerian women is said to be guilty of keeping many secrets when it comes to the issue of money.

While this has become a major factor undermining the progress of the home front, many have argued that some women today have their reasons for resenting wholesome financial contributions to family.

The question then is, what would make a wife conceal so much from her husband especially when it comes to financial contributions to family affairs? Take this: A woman has, for example, N100,000 and all the husband has is N50,000 and sorts out a N40,000 family responsibility. Then another responsibility of N10,000 arises.

The woman would keep her money in tact and would want the husband to also fund the N10,000 responsibility and go empty handed. These things happen in our homes all the time. Why are women this way? Is it an act of wickedness, selfishness or greediness?

According to those who spoke to Saturday Vanguard on the matter, some women feel reluctant to ask their husbands for money for all the things they want for themselves. They, therefore keep their money and use it for their own needs. To these, it is simply the man’s place to provide for the family. They hardly part with their money for any family matter that does not concern them. Other women also, are said to resent their husbands’ assumed right to decide how much they should be spending on anything.

The reasons range from behavioral attitudes to social factors and even fears of the unknown.

“Hiding money helps a woman get around some problems like supporting her parents and siblings financially,” according to Chuks Nwanne, a journalist. But for Femi Salawu, Media Communication Practitioner, a woman who hides her money from her husband shows that she has trust issues.

“Although I don’t have evidence for it but I consider it to be common place that majority of women who hide their money from their husbands do so in retaliation to similar behaviour from their husbands, not necessarily because they are bad. Having said that, I don’t think it is a good attitude in a home.

Trust is the foundation of peaceful home and how couples handle money will reveal their faith in each other.

The question you may ask is how can someone be anxious because of their phone? Ordinarily, you are supposed to be attached or addicted to your phone as you receive calls and chat on instant messaging platforms.

Regardless, there are some people who are always anxious when their phone rings. If you are going through phone anxiety, Jumia Travel gathers 6 things you can totally relate with. You may think there is something wrong with the person experiencing phone apprehension but no, they are perfectly normal.

1. You send text messages instead of calling
There is absolutely nothing wrong with sending a text message. It is cheap. But when you send text messages instead of calling, you may probably be anxious. This is because you don’t want to speak to the person despite the fact that you missed their calls.

2. Your phone is always on silent
You are not busy or in a meeting but your phone is always on silent. In fact, you don’t care if you miss an important or lifesaving call. In addition to this, you are regularly switching your data on and off. So, why don’t you get rid of the phone?

3. You wait a moment to call back
You know you have this very important call to make but you take forever to call back. Meanwhile, that same number has called you several times. Why can’t you just make the call and get it over with? Because whether you like it or not, you must call back.

4. Your friends always complain that you missed their calls
You can forgive women who miss calls because their phone is in their handbag or friends who miss calls and still call you back. However, it is different if you always miss your calls and your friends complain about it. You apologize but the same thing always repeats itself.

5. Your Missed calls is more than received calls
If you have phone anxiety, your list of missed calls will be more than received calls. This should not be a surprise because your phone is oftentimes on silent.

6. You always allow the call end
For people with phone anxiety, when they receive a call, they contemplate whether to pick it or not. No matter who is calling, they always feel uncomfortable picking the call. You prefer to allow the call end and decide if you want to call back or not. You have to call them several times if you really have something important to say to them.

Variety of Dishes lavishly and tastefully displayed to invite and tempt people who want to feed their stomach. At Mama puts or Bukkas dotted around each city, you find bankers, civil servants and artisans jostling to buy food at these spots.

Madam give me Amala with efo riro, shaki, roundabout and pomo- they shout at the top of their voices.

In other cases, if you don’t like mama put, then the fancy restaurants is the place you frequent. While you regularly patronise these restaurants every day, have you ever considered cooking for yourself?

Of course, you are very busy and you have to leave home early in the morning and return late and this will not give you time to cook. Perhaps, these reasons shared by Kikiotolu.com will encourage you to cook instead of eating out every day.

1. You can trust what you eating
For those who eat out often, they are not in the know of the kind of ingredients that have been used in preparing the food. It what they are served that they eat. But if you cook at home, you have the discretion to add the content you without any worries.

2. You perfect your cooking skills
Men have the tendency to eat out more than women even though you find both genders at the mama put. Regardless, if you want to improve or perfect your cooking skills, it is not by visiting restaurants. You can find time out of your tight to cook. For the men who cook at home, they can brag to friends about their cooking skills and they can show off their cooking skills to their significant other. It is definitely a wonderful feeling.

3. You save money
You have to spend nothing less than N500 to eat at your favourite restaurants daily. But if you cook, you won’t spend such an amount. Every penny is worth saving in this current recession.

4. You make healthier choices
Many of the foods you consume at restaurants are processed foods due to the ingredients they are used. Cooking at home not only help you select your own ingredients but ensure that you make choices that will not negatively affect your health.

5. It builds better relationships
Imagine one of those days your girlfriend who is always coming around to cook for and you told are not to bother about cooking. You will do it. Even though it may not be perfect, she will love you more. In fact, some women say that they prefer men who know how to cook. So, don’t be afraid to show off your culinary skills to your significant other.

A 38- year -old tenant, Genesis Genius, on Wednesday, told a Masaka Chief Magistrates’ Court, in Nasarawa State, that his landlord, Manzo Hassan, is owing him for the beer he drank in his beer parlour.

Genesis, a resident of Masaka, was taken to court by Hassan for owing him N120,000 rent arrears.

Genesis agreed to pay the arrears, but insisted that his landlord should pay him his beer money first, in order for him to add to pay the rent arrears.

“My landlord always come to my beer parlour to drink, after drinking, he will not pay me, I am sure he is using it to replace the money I am owing him.

“He has been doing it, the money he is owing me amounted to a huge sum, he should pay me, so that I can pay him as well,’’ the tenant said.

The defendant told the court that his landlord has locked up the beer parlour, adding that he even chased his sales girls and bar men away.

Hassan, in his response, told the court that of truth, he drank beer in his tenant’s beer parlour, and deliberately refused to pay because of the rent arrears.

“As I discovered that he was not making efforts to pay me my money, I started drinking beer on credit in his beer parlour to cover up the money he is owing.

“I have not taken up to the amount he is owing me, if that is the case, he should deduct the beer money from the rent arrears and pay me my balance, Hassan said.

The Magistrate, Mr. Victor Manga, in his ruling, told the landlord to do check and balance with his tenant, since he did not object to the allegation.

Manga added jokingly that, probably his tenant was giving him beer to replace the rent arrears.

He asked the court bailiff, Sule Ishaku to supervise the discussion between the landlord and the tenant in sorting out their disputes.

The magistrate ordered the landlord to unlock the beer parlor, stressing that he has no right to lock up the place.

He gave the tenant one month to vacate the place after the check and balance.

After the checks, the landlord drank beer worth N45,000.
