Unbelievable! Hear how Nigerians are being Killed Abroad

I watched this video of #breketefamily #hebelembe program and i wept. This honorable member of the house of Assembly, Honourable Rita Oduchi Orji  narrates how an Italian hospitals allegedly maimed a Nigerian citizen named Judith in other to be collecting her body parts for transplants for other patients. The Nigerian Embassy in Italy abandoned this citizen that ran to them for help.

She also narrates how some other Nigerians in some other countries like Malaysia, Russia, etc are being killed and maimed on daily basis without anything being done. Particularly, she narrated how Nigerian girls in Russia are forced to choose between sex without pay and live or sex with pay and die and if she chooses to take money, they will throw her through the window and she could die or become crippled.

She showed pictures and videos to buttress her claims and said she even has more documents.

This is very alarming! And the worst is that she said that the Nigerian embassies in these countries are not doing anything about it.

15 Revealing facts about the Social Media

The Social Media are Computer related tools that allow people or companies to create, share, or exchange information, career interests, ideas, and pictures/videos in virtual communities and network.

It is no longer news, that the social media has come to stay and that it is tremendously changing the way information is organized, shared and accessed in our society today. The social media has so penetrated our every activity that we no longer have a choice on whether we do social or mobile, but the choice is how well we do it, according to #Erik Qualman.

I discorvered the following 

• world populations is now being led by the social media with Facebook having the largest population followed by China, India, Tencent, Whatapp, Google +, respectively. 

• Technology is now so loved that 50% of millennials would rather lose their sense of smell than their Technology. 

•  More people now own a mobile device than they own a tooth brush 

• Every second, new members join the “Linkedin” network. This is so amazing! This goes to show how much the world has tapped deep into the world of social media.  

• Buyers now rely on peer recommendations, which is to say that when customers go for online shopping, they simply check for previous comments about the particular product they need or how well the product is rated on the social media page and that guides them on the next steps to take. 

• Online marketing has taken over the era of face-to-face product marketing.

Considering the views of experts, converged media is now on the rise. 

•  It is no longer enough to just build a website and place your product’s information there.  #Mike Gingerich said “use your website as the foundation for great content and then integrate cross-social platform sharing” this is to say that you must give great considerations to your organizations social media page, if you really want to get online attention/traffic. 

• Businesses will need to pay to get their contents seen. That to me is understandable considering the increasing rate with which contents are put out there and also one needs to advertise to make his content stand out.

Interestingly, it is clear to me, that the advancements in technology has exceeded the simple text graphic display. According to #David Gerzof Richard (President and Founder of BIGfish PR), “ Photos, videos, gif, animations, audio files, slideshows, CGI, satellite, imagery, historical images, and user generated content woven together gives readers a stunning storytelling”.

Furthermore, there is now a growing need in image tracking. According to David Rose, Photos capture what people are most passionate about. So, it is advisable for marketers to do a survey of what customers like and create ads that have good photos that can portray it well.  

In conclusion, I can confidently state that the social media is no longer an emerging trend but an already established technology that has come to stay and to make our world easier and better.

The students of the University of Lagos was said to have started a protest on Wednesday 6th April, 2016. According to http://thenationonlineng.net/no-light-no-exams-say-unilag-students/.

The students were said to have marched round the school, with green leaves, shouting and demanding that the university authority provide them with amenities such as stable power supply and water supply which are basic amenities. They complained that there was incessant power outage and no water and they need those amenities in place before their exams commence on 18th April, 2016.

They were said to have barricaded the school gate and restricting vehicular movement. Police vehicles were said to have stationed at the gate.

The protest continued till Friday 8th April, 2016 and a result of the recurring protests by the students, over water and power outage, the University management announced an immediate closure of the school indefinitely. http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/unilag-shut-indefinitely-over-protests/141564.html 

The school (UNILAG) was supposed to commence their exams on 18th April, 2016 before this protest began. 

One would then ask? How can the students read and prepare for their exams if there is no power supply or how will they survive without water? 

And then another set would ask, which is better? is it an indefinite strike situation whereby students are kept years longer than their graduating year and kept out of school to roam about the streets without any resumption date in sight, or managing to cope with the lack of amenities and write their exams and graduate?

Which do you think?

Touching Reports of New Ebola Outbreak in Liberia

What is happening in Africa?
How can this entire epidemic of Ebola be totally cubed? This was the question on my lips when i just saw this report about a new case of Ebola in Liberia which occurred on April 1, 2016 in MONROVIA. And i am sure it is the same question that most Africans are asking too.

According to reuters.com, The woman was brought to a clinic in Paynesville, just east of the capital Monrovia after falling ill and was later transferred to a hospital in the city. A senior health ministry official reported the a young lady in her early thirties died of Ebola at the Redemption Hospital, adding that the government was preparing a statement on the new case.

It is important to remember that over 11,000 people had been reported dead on account of this deadly virus within the past two years of this epidemic.

I deeply think it is high time the world woke up to the challenge of this disease called Ebola.
