Good News For Africa's Internet!

Finally Africa now has its own unique web address .africa, this is like the .com. Africa Union has all the credit for this new development. I applaud AU for this great achievement and i also want to seize this opportunity to remind AU that there is still more work to be done as far as Africa's Internet and Technology is concerned; we need our own SAR Value as a people and as a Continent.

SAR means specific absorption Rate of a mobile phone, its the measurement of how much radiation a mobile phone emits during use, I pointed out few years ago that Continents like North America and Europe have their own SAR value (1.6 and 2.0 w/kg respectively) hence Africa too should look into standardizing or defining the SAR value of mobile phones that come into Africa. Click the link below for a comprehensive explanation on SAR value.

The Nigeria Economy

Nigeria is the largest Africa country and it has the biggest Economy as a result of its population size. Nigerians are hard working people, Intelligent people who are committed to whatever they are doing in life. One would have thought that the Nigeria Economy would have been the best in the whole continent but its a different case all together. This is so largely due to political neglect of the huge potentials in the country of over 170 million people.

It is true that Government alone cannot face all the issues of a country hence society sometimes turns attention to NGOs and other bodies in the society for the development of any country. Its on this note, that QHNet think NGOs and Multi National companies in Nigeria are not doing enough to contribute to the development of the Nigerian Economy which they have so much benefited from.

It is of great concern to see companies like MTN, GLO, Maltina, Peak Milk etc ALWAYS organizing music concerts, dance hall competitions, talent hunts to mention but a few programs for Nigerians. Its a good thing to organize these events but a closer look at them reveals these events or programs are solely for entertainment purposes only! hence 99% of their ambassadors are from the entertainment Industry (Music and Movie Industry) and it should be of great concern because these companies or organizations have direct impact on the Economy and the Economy can not be developed by entertainment alone! What happened to the Agricultural sector? What about the Information and telecommunication sector which some of these companies like MTN, GLO, Airtel, Etisalat operates in?

The Nigeria Music Industry is doing very well because of the assistance and empowerment from some of the companies and NGOs mention above. Their Ambassadors are given large some of money and sometimes they are given contracts that will facilitate whatever they are doing ( like in music where and artist will be signed to a record label for years with monetary benefits and the assistance he or she needs to come out as a successful musician). So we have Musicians and Movie stars who are very successful and widely travelled as a result of the empowerment and support from these companies. But we have seen that entertainment alone can not develop the Economy, so I ask again what about the Youths and persons into large scale farming? what about those in the ICT sector? Because these are sectors that have direct impacts on the Economy unlike entertainment.

QHNet believe those in the Information and telecommunication (ICT), Agricultural (large scale farming) sector deserves the same attention and empowerment given to Entertainers. I am thus calling on MTN, GLO, Airtel, Etisalat, Maltina, Peak Milk etc and the Nigerian Government to look into this issues urgently now especially now that the current administration is concerned with development of the Nigeria Economy. This is an urgent issue so QHNet also wants to draw the attention of Minister of Science and Technology Christopher Ogbonnaya Onu together with well meaning members of the National Assembly to lend their support to this course.

Together we can and we will make the Nigeria Economy great again, God bless Nigeria

Before the US presidential elections, Trump was known for his very blunt opinions on issues even on National isues. He has never pretended about what he stands for and what he believes in, Trump made it clear during some of his campaign promises that he was going to ban Muslim nations who supported radical terrorist groups like ISIS etc, he didn't hide his disdain for criminal Mexicans who are going to the US to commit all types of crime, hence his proposed wall on the Eastern borders of the US.

True to his words, President Trump immediately carried out some of his campaign promises to the surprise of many. But i personally think that America's reaction to President Trump's actions and decisions is hypocritical and grossly annoying: Trump already started during is campaign that he would do or carry out the things he his doing right now before majority of Americans voted him into the white house. Trump is a very honest person who believes in whatever he consider right or worth doing, those protesting against his administration should wake up to the new normal. President Trump will complete his four or Eight years in office and i believe America will be 'Great Again' under his administration.

There is really nothing worth living for if you don't have Christ. He is our hope, our source and the very essence of our living.

Whatever level of success, achievements, breakthrough you desire is in Christ Jesus. Stop struggling with your own effort and intelligence, surrender to Jesus and experience true peace of mind and unimaginable breakthrough in everything you do.

You have tried many things, it's time to try Jesus and you will see the difference.

For some reasons, i have decided not to comment on the current legal case between Apple computers and the FBI. Some of my friends have asked for my take on the the case and here, I want to give my own opinion about that high profile case.

Just for those who are not familiar with the case between the FBI and Apple computers, the FBI wants Apple Computers to unlock an iPhone 5S from a San Bernadino terrorist shooter; Farook. According to FBI, the phone could not be accessed since Farook was shot dead with his wife on that fateful day hence they require Apple Computers to unlock the phone which Apple has refused to unlock.

The FBI has threatened and sued Apple for failing to cooperate with them on a matter of " National Security", personally i see this move by the FBI as a desperate move to invade Techs companies within the United State, secondly, I don't consider the case as a matter of National Security plus Apple Computers has the legal right to protect the integrity of the data and information stored in the database of their computers within and outside the US. Lastly, i think and i know that the FBI's request for Apple to assist in unlocking the phone is bullshit! FBI has the capability, the technology and the Intel to unlock any phone, computer etc in any location in the world. So my conclusion is that the case is far more than unlocking a single phone, the FBI wants to set a precedent that the Department of Justice and the FBI can compel Tech companies to give up customer's information and create backs doors in mobile phone and computer OS.

QHN join Facebook, Google, Microsoft and other NGO's, individuals and organisations to condemn the FBI request. Request on National Security should not infringe on our right to freedom of expression.

Alright I have been silent on political issues for some time now especially on international politics, but after following the US politics and the candidates of the 2016 US presidential election, i can't anymore! Like Princess Elsa in the movie 'Frozen', i have to 'let it go'. Among all the US presidential candidate, Donald Trump is by far and by all means the most controversial of them and you will understand why if you have been following the Republican and the Democrats debates.

So much drama, accusations and counter-accusations so far, CNN and its political commentators are also playing their parts in the campaign drama.
Trump has been calling his party (The Republican Party) running mates names which some people within the states think will hinder or reduce his vote in the republican primaries. But Trump is not a clay pot that can be broken by 'mere heat of the sun', he is a very tough businessman and i personally think that after surviving in the highly competitive American business sector, Trump can survive the current political hurricane in the 2016 US presidential election.

The latest of Mr. Trump's "yabing" (na so we dey call am for Naija) is that all Muslims without except should not be allowed to visit the United States for security reasons. A lot Muslim sympathizers have criticized Mr Trump some even calling for the Republican party to denounce him as a member of the party. But i want to hold a different opinion here friends: As an individual i have never been in support of religious, denominational, racial or any other kind of organized discrimination but like Albert Einstein who although being a pacifist, consent to the development and use of the Atomic bomb in the first World War, i hold opinion with Donald Trump; enough of the madness already. Is the Muslim community feel offended and insulted, then they should write and direct all those their 'open letters' to ISIS and other Islamic terrorist groups all over the world. Even if you don't agree with me, it is still my opinion and i am entitled to it just as you are entitled to support or no-support of my point here.

Donald Trump, Republican Candidate

There is no time to comment on the many political crises in Nigeria right now but i want to advise Nigeria politicians to stop decamping to APC, APC is the ruling political party in Nigeria now but most politicians in Nigeria have fail to understand that there is still power in opposition! If there is no opposition then there is no politics and essentially no democracy. So Ayiri and co that are decamping to APC in Warri, Delta State, Nigeria should retrace their political adultery steps abeg

President Buhari

And for the record, i think APC is the worse political party ever in Nigeria. They are just accepting the decampees (if there is any word like that) from PDP without second thought. But i am not even surprised or bothered because APC is full of recycled old political thieves who left PDP to form APC. Finally, Buhari should stop the song about fighting corruption and jailing corrupt politicians from the previous administration. Why is Amechi, Tinubu, Atiku etc not in prison if Buhari is serious about fighting corruption?

The New Google chrome Mobile Browser

Google just updated the mobile version of its chrome browser, I am not a fan of the Google chrome but I think the new features are really cool for people who do most of their reading and research online.
Google still gives you the regular drop-down list-like page when you make a query but this time, there is the option to check the meaning of any word or grammar that is generated from your query.

Google automatically redirect you to the meaning of the word you click on the result page of the query with a small letter of 'g' in a blue circle.

Google has been updating its mobile version of chrome browser to meet the continues challenge of its rival like Opera mobile, uc browser etc. However, I think Google also need to review the desktop version of the chrome browser and disable some of the funny default options that the desktop version of chrome come with. It should be more flexible like the new Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer 11 and Opera desktop version.

So go get your chrome browser updated if you have not already done that. And here is a link to guide you on the different browsers for mobile phones. CLICK ME.

If you have an opportunity to have a glance

I am just wondering guys; if by some chance both the Jesus Christ and the Devil appears before mankind, who do you think would get more attention? ( attention as used here means just attention and nothing more ) the Devil who has sworn to destroy all mankind with him or Jesus Christ who sacrificed his precious life to redeem mankind from eternal destruction?

Nothing thrilled me more the bizarre nature of subatomic particles in my college school days. Everything about Quantum Mechanics or Physics was and is still very interesting to me especially the laws and principles such as the THE DOUBLE SPLIT EXPERIMENT, EINSTEIN’S TIME DILATION, UNCERTAINTITY PRINCIPLE, SPACE-TIME, ETHER, to mention a few.

I was so in love with these theories, ideas and principles that I spent 40% of my school time in our school library buried in the many and sometimes scary nature of our subatomic particles far above the world of ‘Gross Matter’. To be honest, I missed so much missing classes and I also gained a lot. When I successfully and single-handedly build the first and the only Periscope in my school, I was given scholarship and made the Vice president of my school science club: JUNIOR ENGINEERS AND SCIENTIST CLUB (JETs club) and also doubled as the physics and chemistry laboratory prefect.

Here I am going to be talking about the UNCERTAINTITY PRINCIPLE.

Faced with the many and bizarre problems and behavior of the moving electron in the nucleus of the atom, scientist and physicists in the 19^th century made so many predictions to determine where the electron could be at a particular time. But all theories, laws and ideas to pin the electron to a fix position proved futile until Heisenberg came with his Uncertainty Principle which for the sake of simplicity states that: the more precisely the position of some particle is determined, the less precisely its momentum can be known, and vice versa. With this understanding, scientists’ and engineers were able to develop the first Nuclear weapon and other breakthroughs in the field of

nuclear physics.

I am still interested in Quantum physics and who knows I might just be the first African to develop a Nuclear Weapon since president Buhari recently signed a document that will see Nigeria and Nigerians going into arms production .LOL

Here Are 5 Common Network Security Mistakes You Might Be Making:

Have you ever been scammed or had a computer virus take over your system. You're left wondering: “how the heck did this happen to me”? You thought you had followed all the standard advice on securing your network and computer, but you still ended up with a security breach or malware infestation.

Here Are 5 Common Network Security Mistakes You Might Be Making:

1. You're Not Using Strong Encryption On Your Wireless Network

Are you scratching your head because hackers broke into your network, even though you had wireless encryption enabled? You may have been using encryption, but you might have been using the outdated and highly vulnerable Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption. WEP was cracked years ago and hacking a WEP-encrypted network is now trivial, due to a proliferation of easy to use WEP hacking tools. Even a novice hacker can break into a WEP-based network.

The Solution: replace your network's WEP encryption with Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2). WPA2 is a much more robust wireless protection method and is the current standard for “secure” wireless networks. Some older routers may be too old to support an upgrade to WPA2 while others can be upgraded via a firmware update. Check your router manufacturer’s support page for your specific router to see if it supports WPA2.

2. Your Passwords Aren’t Strong Enough

A weak password can be a hackers gateway into your network, your system, and your online accounts. Increased computing power has decreased the amount of time it takes for password cracking tools to crack a password.

You need to make your passwords as long, complex, and random as possible. Avoid use of dictionary words in your password as cracking tools test for these. Having one embedded in your password will help the tool find your password much quicker than if it had random characters in it.

Check out our article on How to Create a Strong Password for tips on composition.

3. Your System Doesn’t Have The Latest Security Patches

Hackers love to find systems with unpatched vulnerabilities because they can be exploited with specially crafted attacks that take advantage of the unpatched weakness. OS vendors are constantly detecting new threats in the wild and developing security patches to close the holes.

Most OSes feature a set-and-forget “auto update” capability that will automatically download and apply the latest security patches on a regular basis.

The Solution: turn on auto update for your OS security patches as well as any apps that have auto update capability. You should also periodically run a manual patch check to ensure that the auto update process isn’t broken.

4. You Don’t Have a Backup Strategy

When things go bad, your first question might be “do I have a backup of those files”? You shouldn’t have to ask yourself this question, you should know the answer, and the answer should be "let me go pull up my backup of those files”.

Backups are critical resources. Some computer malware such as ransomware can encrypt your files and hold them hostage. If you have a backup of your files then you can laugh at the ransom demand and tell those hackers to go stick it in their ear or some other orifice.

Check out our article on Developing a Backup Strategy for some tips on how to go about backing up your stuff.

5. You’re Not Aware of The Latest Threats And Scams

Scammers and hackers are constantly evolving their tools and tactics. Educating yourself on the current threats is key to not falling victim to the newest and most dangerous scams and hacks happening in the world.
