Henry-Okah

A SOUTH African court on Tuesday jailed Nigerian national, Henry Okah for 24 years after he was convicted of 13 terrorism charges over twin bombings in Abuja in 2010.

“Effectively, the accused Okah is therefore sentenced to 24 years imprisonment,” said Judge Neels Claassen.

He was found guilty of 13 terrorism-related charges over twin car bombings during Nigeria's independence day celebrations in 2010. At least 12 people were killed and 36 others injured.

Okah led a group which said it was fighting to help Niger Delta residents gain a greater share of the oil wealth.

-First of all, introduction…lol! Mention Adenuga, and the next thing that comes to mind is Globacom (Global Communications). But is this well-fed African all about Glo? Worth a head-spinning $4.3 billion, Otunba (Dr.) Michael Adeniyi Agbolade Ishola Adenuga (Jnr) is the 2nd richest man in Nigeria, according to Forbes. That makes him the richest Yoruba on earth.
Otunba Mike Adenuga, the second richest man in Nigeria.
This reclusive billionaire has one rule that no one can change: he will only get across to you when there is the need for it, but you cannot get across to him. And when he wants to get across to you, he does everything possible to track you down. Nobody in his office gets letters or invitation cards without earlier notice irrespective of where they originated from. You just can’t reach him, and if you work for a courier company, it is nearly-impossible for you to deliver a package to his office.

That is where Mobility is moving to; from phone to phone, on to phone to the car, the house and all that.
That is apparently the vision that dove Research In Motion, RIM, to design the new Blackberry 10 device. If mobile phones are rated by mere looks, with its sleeky architectural design and bold screen, the new device would just have passed as another addition to the hordes of latest smartphones dotting the mobile space.
But the latest piece of innovation goes beyond a mere smartphone. It is a technology of the future judging by the features.

Yet, in spite of the suffering and economic ruin it brings on many, it is an eminently preventable disease. Indeed, in many instances, the kidneys only happen to suffer collateral damage from other illnesses. In this article, I describe briefly the main causes and, more importantly, how to prevent the eventual fatality of kidney failure.

North Korea, a country where private computer ownership is illegal and most civilians can only access a tiny, closed intranet through shoddy knock-off software, is not the sort of place where you might expect to find the scariest and most talented of hackers. But reports from both ABC News and the Associated Press on the sudden computer crashes at South Korean banks and TV broadcasters pointed to speculation that North Korea was behind the cyber shutdown.
There are three pieces of circumstantial evidence: First, North Korea recently threatened the South (which it does all the time); second, the North itself recently experienced a bizarre and unexplained widespread computer outage that appeared to be linked to a possible outside attack. The third piece is the most persuasive: More evidence suggests that North Korea was behind past, similar attacks.

9 fascinating facts about how the world uses social networks

bitly

The team at bit.ly, a popular link-tracking service, has come out with an interesting new analysis on how people use social media around the world.
To make the report, bit.ly tracked clicks on its links from 220 countries over the course of 12 months. (To give you an idea of how many clicks that is, the site has logged more than 100 billion since January 2011.) Bit.ly then analyzed which social networks referred the biggest proportion of traffic in each country, indexing them against the world average.
The results are intriguing, though they come with a caveat — the data  measure only links filtered through the Bit.ly universe, and not all Internet traffic or users overall.

  1. Almost everyone uses Twitter, Facebook and YouTube heavily — except in China, where those services are blocked. (Bit.ly doesn’t have data for North Korea or a few African and Pacific countries, possibly because there’s too little data.)
