A major telecoms giant in Nigeria has reportedly been hit by a significant cyber-attack, leading to outages of key services. The hacker, who is demanding $2.5m, claims to have been in control of the network for 12 days undetected. This is still being kept away from mainstream. The sources don't want the identity of the telecoms company to be revealed yet. This latest incident demonstrates the continued threat posed by cyberattacks where many Nigerian companies invest in paper security certifications rather than proper security controls.

As a #cybersecurity professional, I encourage privacy enthusiasts to use Apple's privacy feature that allows people hide their emails. Especially on sites they don't trust or for other reasons. It’s called HIDE MY EMAIL, available from iPhone, iPad and Macs. Imagine it as an additional layer of security even if you use a VPN (I'm assuming you know how that works). As it is currently an Apple-specific feature, other providers and browsers will follow suit as it typically happens in the tech-space.

The 'Vicarious Atonement', is a central concept within Christian theology that asserts that Jesus died "for sinners". “When a person sinned, they would take a lamb to the temple to sacrifice,”

As a Lamb of God, Jesus was killed like a lamb. Many of the things that were practised & acceptable in the Old Testament, are no longer done in the New Testament - 'followers of Christ'. The essence of Christianity is 'love, salvation & forgiveness'. Christ is an embodiment of all three.

Criticism and debate on governance in Nigeria is also marginalised. What's the point if only praise is allowed by the government such that even a constitutional authority as the legislature, is not allowed to function independently? In a democracy, keeping track of government activities, being concerned about use of resources, and highlighting failures in policies are needed. As much as you will find those supporting its policies and decisions. Each one is supposed to allow govt improve...

If I could write about the way you make me feel
I wonder what I'd write
Cause of all the words there are to use
They never say it right
When I only have a minute &
It'd take a thousand hours & some new words too
But my nights are never blue
I don't mind the rain when I'm with you When I'm with you the songs are already written
Melodies turn into words nobody's ever said
When I'm alone the only thing I can say that's true
Is my nights are never blue
And I don't mind the rain when I'm with you
So if I could write about the way you make me feel

How do people cope with the same promises in pulpits Sunday after Sunday?

"After today, your life shall never be the same again".

Say after me, "this year I shall seat with Governors".

I mean do you need to pay tithe and offerings to say those?

#ImWalkingAway Instead of boasting about your riches and how you have never begged in your life, why not make sure your members can actually make it to service and never beg in THEIR lives?

They don't even prepare them to face real situational problems. 1. How to avoid kidnappers etc.

@nispid we have always tried to do the little that we can. The pandemic has brought unique challenges that even the biggest organisations have struggled. We have had no support from anywhere. Thanks to my wife for going to the remotest places in Benue, to find people in need. We helped her kick start her business. @EbaForBreakfast

The right to ownership & control of natural resources under the Nigerian law is constitutional. The Constitution of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) section 44 (3) & item 39 Schedule II of the Exclusive Legislative List vests the control & management of the natural resources & hydrocarbon operations on the federal government 'FOR THE COMMON GOOD & BENEFIT OF IT'S CITIZENS.
Natural resources are raw materials that come from the Earth. They occur naturally, which means that humans cannot make natural resources. Instead,

1. The British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson contracted the novel coronavirus in the line of duty. #Leadership

2. Even at that, he continued to discharge his duty from his self-isolation centre. #Commitment 3. When his situation became worse and he couldn't carry on any longer, the British Foreign Secretary (Dominic Raab) stepped in for him. #Structure

4. He was not taken abroad for treatment. #System

5. He is being treated at St Thomas Hospital right there in London. #Patriotism.

Connectivity is one of the main pillars that are defining life in the 21st century. People easily claim that the world has become a global village. So why are people burning 5 G towers even in developed countries, how much less developing ones? People complain when their bus is minutes late, when their virtual meeting or video download buffers etc, Yet cannot seem to understand the push for 5G. Well bad news for you, some are already talking 6G. Guess who has turned 6G on? telecoms.com/503142/consens…

1/. Lilia; not her real name of course. She grew up in a house where they were in the spotlight. Her dad was a very talented musician and very loved around the country. In fact, you could describe him as an African music icon. 2/. With this rather coloured background, she was still the first member of her family to earn a Master’s; she did so in Public Administration. Her background, personal experience, & education will hold her in good stead as it created the foundation on which this story is based.
