THE ELECTRONIC MAIL, NIGERIAN’S RESPONSIVENESS

The email, which is short for electronic mail, is an information and technology tool which seeks to use technology to communicate or transfer information/digital message from the encoder to the decoder over a wireless network (e.g. internet). Following the advent of the electronic system of communication and message transfer, which aims at bringing to a sudden halt to all the logistics involved in the delivery of mails and goods by the post masters, the electronic mail which is the first ‘e-revolution’ in the business communication is simple to understand and use, as it, like postal mail solves both the problems of communication, synchronization and logistics. The electronic mail constitutes of three different parts, the envelope, the message header and the message body; where the header refers the part that bears the recipient email address, usually descriptive information is required, such as subject header field and message submission date/time stamp. There are many software platforms available to send and receive an email. Popular email platforms include Google mail (Gmail), yahoo mail, outlook, hotmail and many others.
This advancement in technology has over the past few years been tremendous; it is this horrendous nature of spread that qualifies it to be the choicest means of communication the world over. The electronic mail is perceived from a single perspective leaving in the dark all its other function. The electronic mail having been a modified memo tool can be used as a reminder, a calendar as well as store up important conversation. In the past two decades, email has caught up with the telephone as an everyday medium of communication, both in business and personal life.  It was found that a large percentage of adults in the U.S check their mails much more than they surf the net or even check their Facebook account, making emails the most popular activity for users to do on their smart phones. More than any other activities we indulge in, communication ranks top of the list. Meeting new people, keeping in touch with old and new friends has given rise to diverse medium of communication.
In the African context, the relevance of effective communication is just as it is with the rest of the world. The traditional mediums of communication have been challenged by 21st century trends thus making the use of the electronic mail more superior to all other advanced mediums. Faxing letters did not gain as much popularity as short messaging service (SMS), or even the telephoning system. The use of email just synchronized with the demands of the African people; hence the ease of adoption. The rate at which it was accepted, recorded a high shift in the response to new technology. With each organization creating an email address to individuals owning a private mail address. Only the effective use of the internet is a bit on the high in certain African countries. The cost of internet in African countries burdens the efficient use of the electronic mail. In spite of all of the hiked internet prices, the use of the email has generally not been impaired. The development of smart phones has tipped the scale towards the consistent use of mails. This development further enhanced the accessibility of the electronic mails from the convenience of our homes, offices – ubiquity.
Amazingly, hitherto in Nigeria, many are yet to create an email address of their own. Thus pointing out that the electronic mail is yet to permeate the area. Yet, the few who have it are yet to tap into the overall germane of the electronic mail as a grave medium of communication. When an email is sent, there are high expectations from the sender to receive a reply. There are but a few reasons as to why an email can be responded to: prior to sending the mail, a relationship existed between the sender and the recipient, a bulk email that carries vital information. Otherwise, the major reasons why mails are not responded to by the recipient revolves around interest. Presentation of our message matters here, although it is a general rule of thumb that, in the absence of a mail machine, organizations as well as individuals should check there mail box at intervals. Some of the ways to send an email that bequeaths a need for a response depends on the sender even though Sending emails requires a certain degree of caution, the internet is a vast area of harnessed and unharnessed space, and whatever you send out there may never be retrievable.
1. A lot of email users in Nigeria do not use the ‘subject line’ or do not know to how to use it. The subject line space has to be filled, it is here that the general idea of the email dwell; giving the recipient a hint of what is contained in the email.
2. Using capital letter while sending a mail, will most often than not come across as an angry tone. Using capital or block letter in writing a mail reduces the readability of the mail alongside wrong punctuations and vulgar languages, some email platforms have firewalls setup to check and block vulgar. If they pass, which they seldom do, emails of this sort are barely returned.
3. So many persons use names other than their real names as their email addresses, this may affect in a downward curve the rate at which mails are replied, it is always safer to create signatures where your name and functions of your organization are represented in black and white.
4. While forwarding an email, it is best to check what is written below the last email, there may be unwanted or undesired content, this may lead to embarrassment when sent.
5. Using the ‘carbon copy’ (CC) may be very important and also detrimental, check before using this. People receive mails every day; it will not be nice to send mails to persons who have no connection to the message, especially in a work place setting. It is better to use the ‘Blind carbon copy’ (BCC), this may help protect your image as many people would pick offence in your actions of displaying their email addresses.

7 things you shouldn’t do after a breakup

Battling a breakup? We feel your pain. When you’re newly single, your head’s in a spin, you’ve hardly slept and you’re probably acting kind of irrationally. Before you do anything drastic, read this list of seven things you should never do after a breakup, and then avoid them like the plague:

Breakup blunder 1: Do not try to remain friends

Rarely can two people make a smooth transition from being lovers to friends, but if you’re going to give it a go, don’t try until the wounds have healed. Remaining friends straight after your relationship ends doesn’t leave you enough time or space to properly get over it. Cut all ties straight away, at least until your wounds have healed.

Breakup blunder 2: Do not stalk them on Twitter or Facebook

As if we didn’t have enough to contend with during a breakup, we now live in an age where social media makes matters worse. Sitting around refreshing your ex partner’s Facebook profile is a serious breakup blunder though; if you’re feeling the need to take a sneaky look, it’s probably best to delete them off all social network websites altogether. You will only get upset if you see your other half has “liked” someone else’s photo or changed their relationship status. Why torture yourself?


Breakup blunder 3: Do not turn to alcohol

When we’re feeling down in the dumps, drowning our sorrows in drink can sometimes seem pretty appealing. Don’t do it though – mixing breakups and alcohol is like mixing milk with vodka; it will end in one curdled mess. The chances are, you’ll get drunk and then make one or more of the other mistakes in this list. Instead, keep yourself occupied by surrounding yourself with friends and family who you can vent your feelings to without any judgement or lost inhibitions.

Breakup blunder 4: Do not go on the hunt for someone else

“The best way to get over a person is to get under a new one” – myth.  Got an ex boyfriend or girlfriend shaped hole in your heart? Don’t try to fill it. You need to wait for the wound to heal naturally, rather than try to patch it up. Using another person to help you get over your ex is not only selfish, it’s counterproductive. You need to deal with your emotions head on, but the rebound method only prolongs your pain as you never fully deal with your feelings. Sex with someone else is a serious no-no too. This will leave you feeling used and ashamed.



Breakup blunder 5: Do not believe you will always feel this way

Yes, you’ve demolished 10 packets of tissues and yes, you’ve burst into tears in front of your colleagues five times this week (and it’s only Monday morning), but don’t worry. It’s easy to feel as though you’ll never feel happiness again, but you will. Each day you will start to feel increasingly stronger until one day you realise that you no longer feel anything towards your ex.


Breakup blunder 6: Do not contact your ex for any reason

“I must remind him about his appointment with his eye doctor”, “I must call to ask how his mom is doing”… No, no, no, no, no! In that tricky period after you’ve broken up, you may find yourself sitting around thinking of excuses to ring your ex, but it’s important not to give into this urge. If you’ve both decided that breaking up is the right decision, leave your wounds to heal and eventually the temptation to ring your ex will fade away.

Breakup blunder 7: Don’t let yourself go

Breakups are the perfect excuse to sit around looking scruffy and scoffing ice cream by the gallon, but too much of a good thing is never good for you. Make the most of not having to look well groomed and suck your stomach in every time you’re with your partner, but once you’ve scoffed that gallon of rocky road for the fourth day on the run, it might be time to start reigning yourself in. Getting dressed and stepping out into the fresh air will do you a world of good.

FG unveils new NYSC certificates

ABUJA – FEDERAL Government, Tuesday, unveiled newly improved National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificates to be issued to corps members at the conclusion of the mandatory one year service to their fatherland. Speaking at the unveiling ceremony in Abuja, the Director General of the NYSC, Brig-Gen. Johnson Olawumi said the scheme took the step to wage war against forgery and impersonation.
The DG, represented by the Acting Director of Certification, Alhaji Aliu Daura, explained that the new certificate would be embossed with the carrier’s photograph in line with the global best practices. According to Olawumi, the issuance of the new NYSC certificate would take effect from Batch ‘C’ 2014, who will be passing out on 15 October.
“In our concerted effort to make the operation of the NYSC conform with global best practices, the scheme engaged in the holistic e-nysc solution with effect from Batch ‘C’ 2014 where prospective members register online before proceeding to the orientation camp. This resulted in the enhancement of issuance of NYSC certificates namely; Certificate of National Service, Certificate of Exemption and Letter of Exclusion.
“With effect from Batch ‘C’ 2014, all certificate of National Service bear passport photograph of the corps members at the upper right hand corner of the certificate. “This is to guarantee the security of our certificates from forgery and to block all chances of impersonation. Therefore batch ‘C’ 2014 corps members, who are due to pass-out on 15 October, 2015 will have their certificates embossed with their photograph,” he clarified.

New NYSC Certificate
Shielding more light on the categories of the NYSC certificates, the Director of Press, Mrs Abosede Aderibigbe said Certificate of Exemption is issued to a Full-time graduate, who is above the age of 30 at the time of graduation or such corps member is a staff of security agencies like Armed Forces, Nigeria Police, Department of State Security, National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and Recipients of National Presidential Honours Award.
For Letter of Exclusion, Aderibigbe further said that it was designed to take care of corps population, who are graduates of Part-time, Distance Learning and Sandwich programmes, adding that issuance of letter of exclusion commenced in 2001, and that, they would be able to register and print their letters on line. She noted that the scheme had gone digital, therefore verification of NYSC certificate could now be done electronically.

The Greed of a Female Minister Reloaded

She is a female. She is a mother. Her name is Diezani-Alison Madueke, the Ex-Minister of Petroleum Resources and a mother of three children.

Checking her profile reveals that God has been kind to her all her life. Diezani never lacked any good thing: born into a royal family, went to some of the best schools in the world, Howard and Cambridge; worked in one of the best companies in Nigeria, Shell Petroleum; married to one of the top personalities in Nigeria; and blessed with three children

And the country, Nigeria, too gave Diezani the best she could ever give her citizens. Diezani Alison-Madueke held held three significant positions in the Nigerian federal government. She was appointed Transport Minister in 2007. In 2008, she was named as Minister of Mines and Steel Development. And after Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan became acting President in February 2010, Diezani was named as Minister for Petroleum Resources. This is the post she has held till May 2015.

The World was not left out in being kind to Diezani: In 2014, she was elected the first female President to OPEC; In December 2014, she was elected President, Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF); she was elected Chairman Committee of Ministers of the West African Gas Pipeline Authority (WAGPA).

But with all these benevolence from God, country and world, Diezani has been in the news for corruption practices of the highest order since 2008. Check the following:

1. In 2008, Diezani was a subject to a Senate probe after it emerged that as Transport Minister, she had paid N30.9b ($263m) to contractors between 26 and 31 December 2007.

2. In April 2014, Diezani was alleged to have spent over N10b inappropriately on private jets maintenance whilst many Nigerians suffer.

3. In 2009, the Senate of Nigeria indicted Diezani Alison-Madueke and recommended prosecution for the allegedly transferring N1.2b into the private account of a toll company without due process and in breach of concession agreement.

4. In April 2015, Diezani was alleged to have stolen N1.329tr as subsidy payments over three years (2009 to 2011)

5. 2010-2015, Under Diezani's supervision, the NNPC spent N700m daily to subsidize kerosene without the product reaching consumers who pay as much as N150 per litre, instead of the NNPC’s approved sum of N55 per litre.

6. In January 2015, $700m (raw cash) was allegedly found in her house, out of which $10m was stolen by her house aide.

7. In April 2015, Diezani was reported to have been responsible for the missing $20b dollars out of which $16b was returned.

8. In August 2015, Diezani together with Godluck Jonathan and his ex-CSO were alleged to have illegally withdrew $6.9m  (N1.460b) from the secret account of the NNPC to buy three 12meter mobile stages for use at public events.

9. In October 2, 2015, Diezani was nicked in London over allegations that 13b UK Pounds had gone walkabout from Nigeria's coffers.

So what could have made this woman, Diezani, who has had it all to still steal and engage in corruption practices at the expense of Nigeria?

GREED!

Yes greed, the intense and selfish desire for wealth and power.

It could be forgiven when a man is associated with corruption. It could be forgiven when a man steal. But when a woman is at the centre of it all then, all is not well. And if the person is a mother? God have mercy! What will she tell her children? What will she tell her grandchildren? A woman is supposed to be a mother of hope and a beacon of integrity.

Everything seems to be going wrong for Diezani. She failed in her lobby to get a soft landing in the event she is probed by the administration of General Buhari; she failed in her request to get asylum in 6 countries; she is currently battling with cancer in a UK hospital. And just yesterday news filtered in that she was arrested in London on Friday along with four other persons in relation to corruption allegations being investigated by the UK National Crime Agency. The EFCC has also moved to seal up her houses in Abuja.

If Diezani falls, nobody should blame it on God. If Diezani fizzles out, nobody should be blamed on country. If Diezani is arranged for trial nobody should carry placard and say it is because she is an Igbo woman. If Diezani goes to prison nobody should say it is witch-hunting.

Rather, it should be blamed on Diezani herself. Her selfish desire to want to steal, and steal, and steal. Yes it will be blamed on Diezani herself, the greedy woman minister. She is the witch! Nobody else.

Lastly blame it on the man who created the platform for Diezani to steal and steal and steal. Yes, blame it on EX- for being a bad leader and a bad role model to Diezani

Customs order immediate removal of restriction on rice import

The Comptroller-General of Customs, Col. Hameed Ali (rtd), has ordered the immediate removal of rice from import restriction list and the re-introduction of import duty payment at land borders.
The Public Relations Officer of customs, Mr Wale Adeniyi, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abuja.

File photo: Customs CG, Hameed Ali inspecting the Guard of Honour on resumption of office, at Customs Headquarter, in Abuja
He said that the restriction was only applied at land border stations before now, adding that the customs boss had lifted restriction on rice at border stations.
Adeniyi said that all rice imports through land borders by rice traders would attract the prevailing import duty of 10 per cent with 60 per cent levy.
He added that rice millers (preferential levy) with valid quota allocation would also attract duty rate of 10 per cent with 20 per cent levy on rice importation.
He said: “Over the years, importation has been restricted to the seaports because border authorities have found it difficult to effectively monitor and control importation of rice. When the decision to ban it (rice) was taken it was not an effective measure because smuggling of the product thrives with people using different means of conveyance including small trucks, bicycles and even animals – putting them on donkeys and some actually carry it on their heads.
“These new measures will be for customs to reorganise their anti-smuggling operations in the border areas and ensure that all those importers through the borders bring their rice through approved routes and pay their extant duty.”
NAN recalls that before the ban on rice importation, customs had placed different rate of levy on rice imports.
NAN also recalls that 30 per cent levy was placed on rice millers (preferential levy) and 70 per cent for rice importers.
The essence of the different rates of levy was to encourage local production. (NAN)

Ministerial Nominees Portfolios Revealed, Fashola for Finance, Amaechi, Defence, amongst others

The Senate President Bukola Saraki has finally unveiled the much awaited ministerial list
submitted by President Muhammadu Buhari for screening.

Notable amongst the names are; Abubakar Malami, (former Legal Adviser, Congress for
Progressive Change), Abdulrahman Dambazzau (former Chief of Army Staff), Lai
Mohammed, former Lagos Governor, Raji Fashola, Adebayo Shittu, Sunday Lalong, Chris
Ngige (former Anambra Governor), Rotimi Amaechi (former Rivers Governor).
Other names on the list are Audu Ogbe, Kayode Fayemi (former Ekiti Governor)
Emmanuel Kachiku, Sulaiman Adamu, Ibrahim Usman, Udoma Udoma and Ibrahim Jibril,
Ahmed Musa Ibeto, Aishat Alhassan.
A source has disclosed the particular portfolios for the Ministers, while coming to the
defence of controversial names in the reckoning including Amaechi, Fashola and
Mohammed.
The former Lagos governor is barely recovering from the heavy controversy surrounding
an extravagant website scandal totaling a whopping a N78 million, and an immensely
inflated borehole project that cost N139m to sink two.
The heavy debt he left for his successor Akinwunmi Ambode has not left public
discourse either, with many people within the All Progressives Congress, APC, tagging
him as “corrupt.”
Although our highly placed source could not tell Post Nigeria what qualifies the embattled ex-Governor for the position, he said he was a worthy addition.
Amaechi has accompanied the President on all defence minded visits abroad, gauging the perception of representatives of foreign governments on how we can solve our security issues, including kidnappings.
On Fashola, our source who looked livid, asked: “Have you seen the Lagos books? Have you seen how much the man raised in revenue in Lagos?
“Who else can come to the job with the political will required to aid Nigeria out of this
economic downtime?”
On the former Anambra Governor our source gushed: “Ngige is also a man with political will and know how, the leader of the APC from the S/East, a man under whose watch in his State, saw ten Anambrians become leading transport company owners nationwide.
“The transport sector, air, land , sea or any other one the man may even invent, will hugely benefit from Ngige’s input!”

Network Marketing in collaboration with Forever Living; A sure way of making extra income - The 21st century perspective

What is Network Marketing?
Network marketing which is a fancy name for Multi-level marketing (MLM) is a 21st century system of moving products from the manufacturer to the end user. This system makes use of diverse stratum (multi-level) which comprise of persons (who are the major key players), cutting out all the middle men and entrusting the sole right of product distribution (marketing) to such persons to whom a deserved compensation is paid.  N/B: product hawking exclusive.

What is Forever Living Product (FLP)?

Forever Living Product international inc. is a company based in Scottsdale, Arizona, is the 6st biggest network marketing company which manufactures and owns over 80% of Aloe-Vera plantations worldwide, sells Aloe-Vera based products, drinks and Bee-derived cosmetics, nutritional supplements and personal care products with the use of a vast multi-level marketing system spread and deep rooted in over 150 countries of the world and still expanding.
Having intimated you on the key concepts, we shall go straight to the point. A lot of people earn relatively nothing at their various jobs which at the end of the day, is not sufficient to solve a good number of problems or which hinders them from achieving their dreams in life. In such a country as Nigeria where there is no gainful employment for the youths, a case where the job seekers are more than the jobs itself creates the want-get gap; FLP which is the top most MLM company in Africa have come to breach that gap with an entrepreneurial opportunity offering both the employed and unemployed the opportunity to achieve and actualize that dream of theirs with the World’s most trending marketing tool. There is a growing need to be part of this great and amazing opportunity to achieve, visualize and actualize our dreams. As the network marketing system has been reported to have created the most millionaires more than every other system ever dreamed. Hence, Donald Trump one of the most influential Billionaires of our time and an investment champ rebukes: “if billionaires would do and recommend network marketing, why won’t you, are you a billionaire?”

Leveraging, this is the greatest tool of network marketing. The power of leveraging enables you to earn income over the cumulative effort of others, as John Paul Getty rightly says, “I’ll rather earn 1% of 100 person’s effort, than 100% of my own effort” this is evidenced in the huge bonuses that is paid as compensation from referrals that has been made by you (downlink) or by someone who was referred by the referral effort of a previously referred or downlink as it is oft called.  The network begins to grow as more and more person is referred. FLP pays you for this without depriving your downlinks of their own income as well. Bottom-line, if you sign up someone, you get paid, if that person you signed signs another, you get paid and if you purchase FLP, you also get paid, so either way, your income grows and remitted to your bank account on the 15th of every month, the key is to grow your network. See! Isn’t that awesome?
All you need do now is to get registered with a fee of N85, 000 or $427 as the case may be of which products equal to this amount will be given to you for your personal use as this boosts your points. After that, focus with determination on building your network by registering other interested persons to be certain of your payment because that’s how you become active.
I’ll be assisting you with your registration, send me a mail to frankyoshea7@gmail.com for more details or you can make use of the comment box to ask your questions, I will be glad to attend to them.
As earlier stated, FLP is a company that uses two major natural ingredients of paramount importance to the overall health; they are the Aloe-Vera and Bee-derived ingredients. Aloe-Vera and honey are natures’ gifts to mankind, they have been used from time immemorial to eradicate and prevent a good number of ailments in the human body. FLP makes use of these two wonderful ingredients to derive their numerous organic products which on registering you will be entitled to. Here are some of the products:

Hurry now, join the moving train, join the 21st century business, achieve that dream of yours, become your own boss, No one has ever made it working for another man. Secure your future for he who does not plan to succeed, plans to fail. Final words, Personal finance champ, Robert Kiyosaki: “The richest people in the world look for and build networks, the rest population look for work” Be wise!

Women Sleeping With Young Boys: The Messy Secrets

Mrs Eno has been a nonconformist all her life. This eventful day, she waited patiently at the VIP lounge of the local airport, fuming at the unnecessary delay in her flight when she noticed this young chap in his 30s saunter towards her. Eno is in her late 50s. Curiously, she glanced at the seemingly shy man as he perched on a seat next to her.
The conversation was stilted at first until Eno let it drop that she had an engagement at the Port Harcourt branch of the motel she ran. “He instantly became interested in what I had to say and was chatting away as if he’d just discovered his tongue,” Eno recalled.

 “WHEN WE EVENTUALLY BOARDED THE PLANE, IT WAS INEVITABLE THAT WE SAT TOGETHER. HE WAS QUITE HELPFUL REALLY, WITH MY SUITCASE AND MAKING SURE I WAS COMFORTABLE. WHEN WE ARRIVED PORT HARCOURT, HE ASKED TENTATIVELY IF HE COULD BE PUT UP IN ANY OF THE ROOMS IN MY MOTEL AS IT WAS TOO LATE TO SECURE ANY DECENT ACCOMMODATION. I WOULD BE A FOOL TO PRETEND I DIDN’T KNOW WHERE ALL THIS WAS LEADING TO. I WAS A SINGLE WOMAN, TWICE DIVORCED, AND MEN LIKE EBERE (AN IGBO GUY) SWARMED AROUND ME ALL THE TIME. NOT THAT I LOOK STUNNING AT OVER 50, BUT BECAUSE THEY COULD GET COMPENSATED FOR SERVICES WELL RENDERED IN THE BEDROOM…


“At my age, you have to take what is thrown at you and men like Ebere are fit and strong and quite better looking than men my age – and they appreciate you. Like, a friend aptly put it, getting involved with younger men is like walking down a well-stocked supermarket with an empty trolley. The goods on display are just begging to be snapped up.


Would she call it prostitution? I asked her, she replied:
“Call it whatever you like, but there is a clear exchange of cash or gifts for s*xual services. The agreement may last an hour, a night or a week. In some cases, it is a more informal long-term investment. The toyboy’s aim being to acquire benefits over a period he finds an older woman, get involved and build up a nest-egg for when he gets married.

“One thing is for sure, as long as you are loaded, you can be plain or fat or a pensioner you will still be made to feel young and beautiful, and there are more than enough of these men to go round with their taut well exercised bodies. They don’t need all those Viagra stuff unlike a lot of men my age.”

“It is sad that dating younger men which used to be a rarity now operates on an industrial scale,” observes a social commentator who says she feels disgusted by some older women’s get-laid wherever-you-can-get-it attitude.

“What was exciting has turned exploitative. Passion has been replaced by the predatory and caring has become a con to the opportunistic gigolos.”

And they have stupid well-worn lines they use on their victims that never fail. You are my destiny, without you, I would never have made it in life!’ Sloppy words that send their victims reaching for their cheque books.

“Life is short”, Eno concluded dreamy-eyed. “I’m rich. My two children are happily married, and in a decade or two, I might be history. With those younger men, I might buy the drinks, the gifts and give them a good time, but believe me, it is a bargain for the emotional satisfaction I get. The married women amongst my friends use my motels all the time, then go home and resume their normal life with their husband and pretend as if they are faithful wives.”

Years back. when a group of us discussed the issue of younger lovers, Gladis had been indignant at having “to strip in front of a gangling man.” She said there were far more interesting men around for her to make a fool of herself with an inexperienced braggart! When I now discussed Eno’s case with her. it was obvious her views had mellowed with years.

“At Eno’s age,” she said, “you’ve got to get love anywhere you can find it. Men of her age group are not exactly bursting with testosterone and forty something ‘younger’ men are more discreet than those in their 20s! I’ll tell you what happened to me a few years back. I was on my way to the UK when I ran into Joshua, a younger colleague in the year when I used to work in an office. He was the one who recognized me really. I wouldn’t have believed it was him if he hadn’t approached me. He had filled out a bit, was obviously successful since he was flying first class and he looked really dishy.

“He was a bit irritating when we worked together and I was his boss – always coming to work late and tearing up any query he was given. He was eventually sacked but he showed no remorse and grapevine had it he got a better job, thanks to his influential dad.

“He seemed to have forgotten our little spats as he offered dinner in a very posh restaurant. I was to be in London for only two weeks and he stayed at this cool service apartment. When I realized he was eating out a lot of the time, I agreed to cook him some meals – his company was fun afterall, and his bar was well-stocked! Inevitably, we had s*x – and it was good. He was a few years younger. experienced and mature – or so I thought!

“He had to spoil things by blurting out he never imagined in his wildest dreams that he could bed a woman like me – a woman who had been so hoity-toity and seemingly untouchable! There was actually pride in his voice – like he’d tamed a shrew!

“I felt a bit embarrassed but you could see that was how he really felt – and I’m sure he would have boasted to a few of his friends when he got back home. We didn’t even bother to arrange to see each other after I left. He’d obviously schemed to bed a prospective `hot’ woman and proud he’d accomplished the task. This has nothing to do with his being younger – afterall he was a grown man. Some men are quite childish and see bedding different women as an accomplishment.

Bags Of Money Found In Diezani’s House In Abuja

Information indicates that the process of charging Diezani Allison-Madueke, the immediate past powerful Minister of Petroleum, has already commenced in London. The UK system is not like what we have in Nigeria, they make sure they have enough evidence before arrest.

Also, credible sources have confirmed that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission detectives who raided Diezani’s mansion in Abuja after she was arrested by the NCA in London recovered some bags containing cash that is said to run into millions of Naira.

This is to tell you how these politicians store our money in their houses to escape bank scrutiny. Anyway, her money laundering trial is expected to go on as planned.

The trial is expected to be conducted in London and is likely to draw many Nigerians resident in the United Kingdom. She is not the only one who will be in the dock, her accomplices will appear too.
An official of the NCA gave indication of the trial in a telephone chat with Vanguard but pointed out that the identities of all the suspects would only be unveiled at the point of charging them to court.

Tupac Shakur who was supposedly killed at the age of 25 is now admitting he has been hiding this whole time. It was Shakur whoin 1996 was reportedly attending a special event in Las Vegas, the Mike Tyson-Benson fight, and then afterwards was brutally murdered. A day or so later he is autopsied, then quickly cremated. There is no funeral. Nor is there any record of a tribute or memorial.

Xenophobia

Xenophobia is the unreasoned fear of that which is perceived to be foreign or strange. Xenophobia can manifest itself in many ways involving the relations and perceptions of an ingroup towards an outgroup, including a fear of losing identity, suspicion of its activities, aggression, and desire to eliminate its presence to secure a presumed purity. Xenophobia can also be exhibited in the form of an "uncritical exaltation of another culture" in which a culture is ascribed "an unreal, stereotyped and exotic quality". Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action urges all governments to take immediate measures and to develop strong policies to prevent and combat all forms and manifestations of racism, xenophobia or related intolerance, where necessary by enactment of appropriate legislation including penal measure.
The first is a population group present within a society that is not considered part of that society. Often they are recent immigrants, but xenophobia may be directed against a group which has been present for centuries, or became part of this society through conquest and territorial expansion. This form of xenophobia can elicit or facilitate hostile and violent reactions, such as mass expulsion of immigrants, pogroms or in other cases, genocide.

The second form of xenophobia is primarily cultural, and the objects of the phobia are cultural elements which are considered alien. All cultures are subject to external influences, but cultural xenophobia is often narrowly directed, for instance, at foreign loan words in a national language. It rarely leads to aggression against individual persons, but can result in political campaigns for cultural or linguistic purification. In addition, entirely xenophobic societies tend not to be open to interactions from anything "outside" themselves, resulting in isolationism that can further increase xenophobia.

The evolution of Apple's iOS - from iPhone OS all the way to iOS 8

Apple's iOS has certainly gone a long way since it first saw the light of day. What Apple initially called iPhone OS gradually shaped itself as iOS, one of the leading mobile platforms that is quite unlikely to fade away in terms of popularity anytime soon. But how did the operating system, different iterations of which can be found on each and every iPhone, evolve? Today we will bury our heads into the history of iOS and witness its journey from iPhone OS 1.0 all the way to iOS 8.

iPhone OS

The first Apple smartphone, the Apple iPhone, arrived with iPhone OS, which was (naturally) the most basic representative of the platform. As such, it was devoid of many features that iOS users now take for granted. Unlike any other mobile OS at the time, Apple's one was solely focused on touch-based interaction since neither of Cupertino's devices came with a physical keyboard of any kind. For example, there was no App Store, as it did not exist at at the time; you couldn't either take a screenshot. Still, the first iteration of Apple's mobile OS hinted at the great potential that it held. The latest version of iPhone OS 1.x was 1.1.5, and interestingly enough, it was released after iPhone OS 2 had broken cover.

iPhone OS 2

Apple's iPhone OS 2.x, the second iteration of the platform that debuted in 2008, filled in some great holes in Apple's platform. Most importantly, it introduced the App Store, allowing iPhone & iPhone 3G users to download apps and games. Certainly, this update brought a lot of novelties to the OS, but among the more major and in-your-face ones were the standalone Contacts app (the contacts in your phone book were previously accessible via the Phone app) equipped with a neat search functionality inside and the new feature-rich scientific calculator that allowed you to solve more complex problems, among others new features.

iPhone OS 3 (iOS 3)

In 2009, Apple released the third edition of its mobile OS. Albeit not groundbreaking, iPhone OS 3.x brought a ton of features. The most notable ones are video recording, video editing, MMS messages, voice command (iPhone 3GS only), copy & paste, spotlight search, a landscape mode for the keyboard in Mail and Messaging, several new default apps like Voice Memos and Compass, and others. Since Apple's first tablet, the Apple iPad, got introduced in 2010 and was powered by the very same platform, Cupertinians had to rename the operating system. Hence, version 3.2 of iPhone OS arrived with a new name as well - iOS.

iOS 4

iOS 4 arrived in mid-2010 and brought a host of new changes to the platform. The most noteworthy ones are wallpaper support and multi-tasking functionality, which were already default features on most of iOS's rivals. iOS 4 also employed more system-wide transition animations than its predecessors, flaunted an improved auto-correction functionality for the keyboard, unified email inbox as well as support for multiple exchange servers, and others. Apart from being more advanced than ever, iOS 4 was the first iteration of the OS to be incompatible with an iPhone - the original Apple smartphone was thrown out of the mix. The latest version of iOS 4, 4.2.1, was also not compatible with the iPhone 3G.

iOS 5

It was announced that Apple's 2011 rendition of iOS, iOS 5, came with more than 200 new features inside. An impressive number, right? Well, many of these were pretty major ones - Notification Center, Siri, iMessage, iCloud, universal system-wide dictionary, deep social integration for Twitter, Game Center support, and others. Safari, the default web browser on all iPhones also got polished with the new reader mode, which allows you to experience a distraction-free version of the current website, tabbed browsing, and reading list. 

The Mail and Camera apps also received their fair share of attention. A host of new apps also got introduced alongside iOS 5 - Newsstand, which allows you to subscribe for different online magazines and newspapers, and the handy Reminders; meanwhile, others like Mail got revamped. iOS 5 was also the first representative of iOS that allowed users to update the OS over-the-air. In general, iOS 5 can be viewed as one of the more major functionality-oriented updates in the history of iOS.

iOS 6

iOS 6 broke cover in 2012 and offered a host of improvements over its predecessor, namely a more intelligent Siri (which now gave you more detailed info on movies, sports, restaurants, and launched apps), a deep integration with Facebook (allowing you to share images and maps straight from various apps), a whole new map app, Apple Maps (the initial arrival of which can be defined as a fiasco), the ability to reply to calls with text, the ultra-handy Do Not Disturb mode, Passcode, which houses your boarding passes & store cards, further improved Safari, which came with offline reading, as well as pretty nice new features in Photo Stream and the native Email app.

Some apps that came preloaded on previous iOS versions, like Google Maps and YouTube, got nixed and did not make an appearance in iOS 6 - undoubtedly a move that aimed to further reduce Google's part in Apple's OS business. Of course, both apps were up for grabs from the App Store. iOS 6 also introduced a ton of new privacy settings that enabled users to have a greater say in their privacy-related settings.

iOS 7 

Ever since the original iPhone OS, Apple's mobile platform has been donning almost the same, uniform looks with only minor visual improvements of the iconography, typography, and user interface. With iOS 7, however, Cupetino overhauled its OS, giving it new looks. Unlike its previous iterations, iOS 7 was fresher and more lively. The flat icons were a pretty stark departure from the skewmorphic roots of the first iPhone OS. 

Apart from the visual side of the changelog, iOS 7 also brought a ton of additional useful features. Just mentioning Control Center, day overview for the Notification Center, improved multi-tasking, enhanced Photos app, AirDrop, and revamped Safari browser (which now comes with full-screen browsing mode and swipe tabs) will make every iFan cherish September 2013, iOS 7's "birthday". Some additional new features that complemented the already-impressive changelog were the iTunes radio streaming, the improved voice for Siri, as well as the overhauled Contacts, Calendar, and Weather apps.

 
The camera app also scored Burst Mode and Slo-Mo video mode, which allowed users to shoot clips at 120 fps. It also offers several new native filters to spice up your shots. Speaking of Photos, the default camera app had also scored the ability to take square Instagram-like photos.

iOS 8

Unveiled in mid-2014, iOS 8 can be easily considered the most open variation of Apple's OS to ever grace an iPhone. It introduced support for third-party keyboards and widgets in the "Today" section of the Notification Center, which brings it several inches closer to what Android has been offering to the wide public for some time around. 

Other improvements that arrived with iOS 8 were the interactive notifications that pop up from the top of the screen, which now allow you to quickly respond to or mute them. In addition, the multi-tasking menu now displays your favorite and frequently-accessed contacts. We mentioned the third-party keyboard support above, but iOS 8 introduced another keyboard-oriented novelty - it provides users with improved word and phrase suggestions. An improved Spotlight search feature was also a part of the mix. 

Further-perfected Photos app and improved Siri, as well as Continuity (which allows you to continue your work on another compatible OS X Yosemite device) are also features that iOS 8 arrived with. We should also mention Health, Apple's ambitious fitness and health data dashboard, which gives you an insight at your vital stats.
