A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO DATA USAGE!

In a bid to be able to cope with hardship in this recession, cum the decision of NCC to hike tariff plans of data services. Hence, there is need to take wise steps as follows:

1. Delete all unused apps. These apps run in the background and drain your data.

2. Snapchat and Instagram are basically the same. Delete one for the other.

3. Messenger and WhatsApp serve the same purpose. Please delete messenger.

4. Absolutely no WhatsApp voice or video call. You de craze? If you must, buy me data before calling. In short in extreme cases send sms. It's still my same eyes I'm going to use to read them.

5. Only download when you steal someone's Wi-Fi password. You be learner?

6. Please do not send me attachments in email. Copy and paste so I can also copy and paste and create a file. Otherwise it's double data billing.

7. Turn your mobile data off when your phone will be inactive for a while (bathing, eating, cooking, especially sleeping)

10. Kuku go back to Nokia 3310 when life was only sms and call. Go to cybercafes to check your Facebook and email once in a week. Don't worry we are in recession. No one is sending you job interview appointments.

8. Join money with your sister to buy data and then mobile hotspot. Don't blame me if you are not Siamese twins and one chops all the data. Never mind. Una no go get power to fight. Conserve your energy. Food is expensive.

9. Occupy and roam around in Shoprite. They have free WiFi but the signal is so poor you may have to climb ladder to even get 1 bar.

10. Last but not the least...buy me data in appreciation of these free invaluable lessons.
When the bird learned to fly without perching, the hunter learned to shoot without missing. Buhari God pass you. We will survive your second coming as we survived the first.

Janet Jackson Breaks Social Media Silence, Gives Health Update as Due Date Approaches: 'I Feel Your Love'


Janet Jackson wants her fans to know that she's okay.

The 50-year-old singer, who has stayed silent on social media since August, took to Twitter on Saturday to reach out to those offering her "love and prayers" throughout her pregnancy.

"Hey you guys.. It's been awhile.. but I'm still listening," she wrote. "I feel your love and prayers.. Thank you.. and I'm doing well."

"Al Hamdu lillah," she concluded, which translates from Arabic to "Praise be to God."

Jackson officially confirmed her pregnancy to People in October, though first hinted that she was expecting back in April, when she told fans that she was postponing her tour because she and husband Wissam Al Mana were "planning a family."

ET recently spoke to a fertility specialist, who revealed what Jackson, expecting her first child at age 50, should and shouldn't worry about as her due date approaches.

Medical Tourism:

MEDICAL TREATMENT ABROAD

The popularity of Medical treatment abroad is expanding globally mainly due to its greater capacity to provide safe, high quality treatments to those who cannot receive comparable care in their country of origin; many turning to India and Israel.


Medical Tourism once broadly focused on provision of health care and emergency treatment provided by higher-income countries to less developed nations, has since expanded to include patients from many parts of the world to countries with the full range of health care system infrastructure and modernity. Medical Tourism (MT) has become particularly popular in the United States, mainly due to high living costs and costly health services and care. In the United States, a staggering 50 million people are uninsured and over twice as many are uninsured for dental care. Nevertheless, insurance may not cover specific treatments and many are unable to meet the financial requirements specified for medical procedures that they require.

How does the Electoral College work?

In the heart of Lagos, the Rose of Sharon Glorious Ministry International is home to an intimate congregation who meet every Tuesday for fellowship and prayer. They are dedicated to a common purpose, to serve God, a vision which has remained intact since its founder, Folorunsho Alakija, made a pact with God decades ago.

“I don’t think I could have got this far if I had not entered into a covenant with God. It was 25 years since I gave my life to Christ. I entered into an agreement that if he would bless me I would serve him all the days of my life,” says Alakija.

Ideally, your name should convey the expertise, value and uniqueness of the product/service you trade.

7 Important Questions To Self Discovery And Personal Uniqueness

Psychology 101 says no two human beings are the same, not even identical twins. People variously differ even on the minutest of details, and it is such differences that also pass for their competitive edges. Until you discover yourself and what uniquely stands you out, you will remain a number in the crowd.

How To Rebrand Yourself For New Career Path

Rebranding oneself by switching from one career path to another is a risky move but when consciously done with recourse to basic principles; it can launch an individual into a great path. Rebranding is not for the fun of it but rather, a necessity an individual realizes as they consistently stagnant in their current path or struggle to stay relevant in ever changing industry.

Dangers of Using Public Wifi for Online Transactions


 
   
There are a few problems with using a public Wi-Fi network. The open nature of the network allows for snooping, the network could be full of compromised machines, or the hotspot itself could be malicious.
While using a public WiFi could have its advantages, it is advisable not to use it for online banking
 
Snooping
Encryption normally helps protect your network traffic from prying eyes. For example, even if your neighbours at home are within range of your Wi-Fi network, they cannot see the web pages you are viewing. This wireless traffic is encrypted between your laptop, tablet, or smartphone and your wireless router. It is encrypted with your WiFi passphrase.
When you connect to an open Wi-Fi network like one at a coffee shop or airport, the network is generally unencrypted — you can tell because you don’t have to enter a passphrase when connecting. Your unencrypted network traffic is then clearly visible to everyone in range. People can see what unencrypted web pages you’re visiting, what you are typing into unencrypted web forms, and even see which encrypted websites you are connected to — so if you are connected to your bank’s website, they will know it, although they would not know what you are doing.
More advanced tools like Wireshark could also be used to capture and analyse traffic.
