  • HEALTH: An Outbreak Disease In Town (Swine Flu).

    By Lizzy Adie.

    Swine flu is a respiratory disease caused by a strain of the influenza  type A virus known as H1N1, which first appeared in Mexico in 2009. It originated from the pigs and transmitted mainly to hog farmers and veterinarians, but is now a human disease spread by coughing and sneezing.
     Symptoms are similar to those produce by standard seasonal flu,  fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, chills and fatigue. It is vulnerable to those under the age of 5, pregnant women, over 65 years of age, adult and children who have chronic lung, heart, liver, blood, or nervous system.  Like seasonal flu, swine flu can lead to more serious complications, including pneumonia and respiratory failure. It can also make conditions like diabetes and asthma worse.  If you have symptoms like shortness of breath, severe vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness or confusion , please call your doctor.

    You can help prevent swine flu  by regular washing of hands throughly with soap and water or use an alcohol based hand sanitizer.  Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Avoid contact with people who are sick of swine flu. If you notice or experience any of the listed symptoms above, please contact your doctor immediately. There is also a vaccine for swine flu and swine flu can be treated just like any other flu. 
        
  • SPORTS: Jose Mourinho Challenges Arsenal, Mancity and Spurs to stop relying on Chelsea in Europe

    The Chelsea fc manager Jose Mourinho has slammed clubs like Arsenal,

    City and Tottenham for their poor performances in Europe this week,

    insisting that English sides always rely on “the

    same club” to progress in continental competitions, as reported by The

    Daily Star

    By “the same club” it appears fairly obvious that Mourinho is

    referring to Chelsea, who have arguably been the pride of English

    football in Europe.

  • SPORTS: Mourinho on Capital One Cub Final

    “This cup final is the most important of my career,” said Mourinho.

    “More important than the Champions League finals. More important than

    all the other cups I've ever played before.” It's just because it's

    the next one. The others are in the club museum. My medals are

    somewhere at home, I don't know where … But the most important game of

    my career is always the next one.”

  • TECHNOLOGY: DSTV Upgrade Of February 25th & The 7 Ways Forward

    By Eyizle Ene-Okon

    ABOUT DSTV UPGRADE OF FEBRUARY 25th 2015 and The 7 WAYS FORWARD

    • February 25, 2015
    • Satellite TV
    This is a sad news to everyone across Africa using any means other than official dstv decoder to decrypt dstv channels.
    I have confirmed that every decoder / dongle / account used in decrypting dstv channels has stopped working as at now
    Prior to the total offline, all sports channels have stopped opening since 20th of February.

    WHY DID EVERYTHING STOPPED ALMOST AT THE SAME TIME

    Even though by now, everyone ought to know that there is always the risk of blocking of channels by dstv on unofficial devices,
    I will still repeat it that anytime you observe that everything goes off simultaneously or on after the other, then we are talking about dstv upgrade.
    In other words, dstv launch an attack all devices or account used by anyone to open their channels without using their own decoders.
    Meaning; tv1 cccam account has stopped opening any channels as at today, killer cccam account has stopped, supertv cccam account has stopped, any other cccam has stopped opening dst* account, also A+, besth, and azsky have all stopped opening any premium channels on dstv frequency.
    Like I said, this was caused by dst* hard upgrade.

    IS THIS THE END OF ALL DONGLES / IKS DECODERS?

    I am full of my own biases, to me personally, I don’t think this is the end. To me dst* has not yet done the unthinkable that could block all devices and accounts for months, let alone years.
    However, all fingers are crossed for now. We are hoping for a comeback soon.

    IN THE MEANTIME, WHAT IS THE WAY FORWARD

    We have several fta channels. As i speak Tv3 that is on multiv Ghana is currently showing arsenal vs Monaco champions league match. I am saying we have some free to air channels showing live soccer matches across major leagues. We have the following options:

    • New and hot, Champion TV YAMAL 402 Satellite 55.0E and it is somewhere above mytv position(remember mytv is 68.5.0E). This channel showed Barca vs Man city yesterday. It has other channels too that even include porn channels.

    How to track Champion TV: Please use 90cm dish to track it and use the following frequency and symbol rates : 11045 (V) 40000 . make sure you get a signal of 75% before you stop then enter the following frequency and scan for some more channels; 10991 (V) 08000 then you can blindscan to get more channels including the porn channel. Note: please if you are not an installer, ask your local satellite to come and help you track it.

    • TV3 on multitv freequecny: tv3 has been on for sometime
    • Amos KU: we have channels like rdv, evasion…..
    • If you own a qsat q26g or a speed hd decoder, you can use the canalsat account on it to watch live sports channels like can+s, supersport 3, sport+ etc..
    • You can also stream all live matches online like you will stream youtube videos from such sites like: rojadirecta.me
    • You can also buy any premium iptv set top box or use some android app like Arok Tv or sybla tv to stream live matches.
    • Before I forget, if you own a tlink decoder, and you have a big dish that can track hotbird 13.0E packages, you can now watch Beinsports HD 1 & 2 on tlink on  hotbird position(Note: beinsports originally belongs to nilesat, but nilesat had long stopped unofficial devices from opening beinsports on their position.

    CONCLUSION

    While we all wait for the arrivals of our dogs, we can make do with free to air to watch live soccer. I know majority already have gotv, startimes and similar low subscription packages to meet their news and entertainment needs. The sleeping dogs can come back anytime.

  • NEWS: ISIS Chief Executioner Jihadi John Has Been Identified & Exposed!

    Written by Nelson Amaobi Osuala
    US marshal identifies chief executioner for ISIS as MOHAMMED EMWAZI (Jihadi John). He was a graduate of computer technology and a British-born Islamist. He was the key factor that master minded most beheading of prominent US citizens and other foreign citizens. Amongst others he was the executioner in the death of James Folley in August 19th, 2014, David Hades, one Allen , and a number of other deaths. 
    Prior to this time, all efforts by the American and British governments to identify this terrorist commando had proven abortive. American US marshals however informed that they first identified the dare devil (Jihadi John) in October 2014, but kept their cool awaiting further investigations and prove. US linguistic experts identified him by voice recognition with the aide of a specialised voice electronic device. 
    Efforts are now being made to capture him as he is today being declared by the American government as well as the international community as THE WORLDS MOST WANTED MAN ON EARTH. To this, we are inclined to say that this young man will go down memory lane with the likes of OSAMA BIN LADEN who was known world over as a celebrated terrorist, a jihadist and the brain behind the SEPTEMBER 9/11 terrorist attack in America. 
    With these situation happening , one wonders  with persistent skeptical criticism if SOME of our Muslim brothers are NOT actually revealing the antithesis of the supposed Islamic religion to which they profess is and can be described as a RELIGION OF PEACE . We further argue that “IS IT NOT THE CASE THAT IN THEORY , THE ISLAMIC RELIGION PREACHES PEACE BUT IN PRACTISE IT DEPICTS WAR , FEAR , TERROR AND DEATHS? These are many questions begging for answers. 
    Nonetheless, from my training as a PHILOSOPHER I am compelled to always AVOID RASH CONCLUSIONS in order not to be guilty of the FALLACY OF HASTY GENERALISATION . It is against this backdrop that I hope to further inform my readers that irrespective of the fact that most terrorist individuals we know today are of the Islamic religion,  it would be a Mark of religiocentrism, nepotism, prejudice and sentimentalism to label ALL MUSLIMS AS TERRORISTS. This is my sincere position. 
    It should however be noted that this JIHADI JOHN has been described respectively as a ruthless, notorious and merciless dare devil by some and also as a gentle and polite young man by others who alleged that they knew him during his school days to be of what I may call a Pious behaviour . Apparently, there seems to be a bit of contradictions within the personality of this individual.. Logicians would quickly argue that IT IS NOT THE CASE THAT A THING CAN BE and NOT BE AT THE SAME TIME . How can a spring produce both bitter and sweet water? This is even against the logic of human reasoning as it is against the logic of the holy writ of Christians also . Without much ado, it is no gainsaying the fact that the Obama administration deserves a thumbs up, a kudos and a double honour as she has consistently being in the front burner towards the curbing of terrorism both nationally and internationally. 
    I therefore advice our Nigerian leaders to borrow a cue from the westerners to which they should employ in tackling our indigenous BOKO HARAM insurgence which has eaten deep into the fabrics of our national unity as a nation as it has left fellow Nigerians in a night mare. Our leaders should desist from going about and carrying about portfolios of greed and the insatiable lust for material possessions consequently abusing the political power they have and the leadership baton thus handed over to them by their ancestors while they remain in the in the corridors of power. 
  • INSPIRATIONAL: Check-Out 3 Reasons to Dream BIGGER! (MUST READ)

    FROM: www.naijabiggists.com   
     By Shutdown Brown
    What are some major goals and dreams you have right now?
    What happens when you get excited?
    How often do you tell yourself things like, “That’s not possible for me, I need to be more realistic.” We might not be able to do everything, but we sure enough can do almost anything.  Even
    if we scale it down… we can find the courage to do something or even
    just one thing, that will make a significant impact in the lives of
    other people. In today’s world with the way communication and
    information are – there are just too many real life stories of people
    making a massive difference in the world for us to settle for being
    ‘realistic’.
    The time to stop talking yourself out of your greatest dreams, desires and goals is over!
    The time for wishing is over.
    It’s time to make it happen. 

    Dream Big

    1. If it’s not BIG, you’re selling yourself short.

    Before I moved to India 6 months ago to live and teach, I threw a
    going-away party so I could see all of my close family and friends
    together. I could have kept it low key and invited about 15 people.
    Instead, I decided to go a little bigger and invited more than 70 people
    from family, high school, college and the workplace. What I learned is
    that whether it was 15 people or 70 people, the same amount of planning,
    stress and energy went into the situation. So why not have 70 people
    show up? Why not plan big, love big and in this case – party big!
    Our dreams and goals are the same way. Either way, we
    are going to be tired in the morning, tired from work and looking
    forward to ‘me’ time at the end of the day. Either way, we are giving
    tons of energy, attention and time to our work and our responsibilities.
    We might as well direct that energy towards larger and more impactful
    dreams and goals. It just makes sense. :)

    2. Think about all the people you can help, inspire and give too.

    There is a world out there that needs great people doing great things. Be one of them.
    If you don’t go for your dreams and goals, the whole world suffers. Live
    your largest life. Make the biggest impact on as many people as
    possible so when it’s all said and done, you know that you did not tip
    toe through life, you lived with force, passion and power. It’s possible for ALL of us! As the French writer, Emile Zola wrote, “I am here to live out loud!”

    3. How do you want to be remembered?

    What do you want to leave behind? What do you want to give to your children, family, your community or charity? It’s about legacy now. What can you give and do that will outlast you. Legacy doesn’t come from playing it small. What would your life look like if you committed to your dreams?
