The advent of the World Wide Web (www) popularly referred to as the internet has made the world a global village. With the internet in place, breaking news and information from any part of the world reach our door step within a twinkle of an eye. The internet has also changed the face of how we do business in the world today. Unlike in the past where a brick and mortar structure and location is required to get a business up and running, now with a computer and internet connection an online business can be established.Online businesses such as blogging affiliate marketing, online shopping mall, selling informational product, search engine optimization, facebook cash e.t.c have come to stay. A lot of success stories have been recorded of those who have made it online. For the fact that these online businesses can be ran from the comfort of our homes makes the whole idea of internet business a very interesting one to explore. Many individual have admitted making million working from home. Even many offline businesses are now creating an online presence because it is now known that the internet provides the opportunity to meet and interact with a wider audience keeping businesses open 24/7 365 days. Offline businesses can register an online presence through a website/weblog launch, social media pages e.t.c.
After all said and done about the immense benefit the internet offers to the world; is the internet really safe in all its ramification? Well, the answer is NO!
NO, because the menace of insecurity online has been a very big task for the world to tackle. Most especially the dangers of coming in contact with explicit contents by children who visit the web. There had been cases of cyber bullying, chat rooms have become dangerous zones as there is no way of  knowing if you are actually talking to a male or female and even no age barriers. Precautions must be taken by all an sundry to keep the internet innocent.
As the world embarks on keeping the internet innocent campaign, cyber crime popularly known as internet scam has been on the increase. Many have fallen victims to these scammers and defrauded of their hard earn money. To such people of had fallen prey, the internet is an highly unsafe zone.

What actually is a home and house

A home has various meanings. First of all, it is a dwelling place in the form of a physical building. Secondly, it is a community where members of a family live together. Theoretically, a family can exist without a house and vice versa. Furthermore, there are homes in which people are happy without having a grand residence while on the other hand there are cases of people leading a cold homelife in gorgeous mansions. In that sense, the problem of housing and that of home can be entirely different. We may even sing about our “home, sweet home,” no matter how small it is. However, I am afraid it is very painful if you have to live in a residence below a certain level of size and convenience. In fact, isn’t it only when the space of a residence is above a certain size that you can have the realization of happiness? A house is, after all, matter, and to be too particular about it may sound materialistic. But the building cannot be slighted as the foundation of an enjoyable homelife. Looking around I feel that no matter how much value we place on the intangible object we call home, we cannot know the meaning of it unless it is accompanied by a tangible object called a house.

CELEBRATING 17 years of G.S.M

How time flies? It is already 17 years of the introduction of G.S.M communications in Nigeria. It was like yesterday when in 2001 the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) auctioned Digital Mobile Licenses which led to the birth of three mobile operators in the country. They are Econet wireless, now Airtel Nigeria, MTN and Mtel. Then came a fourth license in 2002 which brought Globacom Nigeria into limelight. Globacom was tagged as second national carrier to strengthen and increase the telecoms backbone infrastructure in the country.

When we thought it was all over, a fifth Digital Mobile License was issued to telecommunications giant from the middle east, Etisalat in 2008(now 9mobile). Many saw Etisalat’s entry into the Nigeria market as rather late and wonder how its was going to catch with its already established counterparts. But Etisalat succeeded in proofing everybody wrong as it continued to grow from strength to strength attracting its own loyal customers. One fascinating quality of Etisalat (9mobile) which was instrumental to it success is its ability to roll out unique offers and promos.

This past 17 years has been very eventful in the country’s telecommunications industry. G.S.M communications has redefined standards in the country. Unlike in the past, where telecommunications was reserved strictly for only the rich and wealthy in the society. Today, virtually all and sundry own a phone in the country. Even primary and secondary school pupils now parade phones of various types.

The telecommunications industry also gave a face lift to the Nigerian labor market by creating jobs for the teaming population of unemployed youths in the country. Also professionals from other walks of life switch over to the telecoms sector as operators offer mouth watering salaries that in some cases are better than those in the banking and oil and gas sectors.

Mobile phones too have evolved over the years from simple  Nokia 3310 to more sophisticated android, windows and Blackberry phones carrying higher functionality like camera, radio, internet connection e.t.c

Before now

Gone are the days when parents restrict or discourage their children from venturing into certain professions or careers such as playing football, music, acting or even comedy. These professions have become one of the greatest money spinners in the world today. They have overtaken the likes of medicine, engineering or even law in terms revenue in flow. Today, you hear that a certain footballer or musician is worth so-so and so million pounds or dollars. Same cannot be said of a doctor, lawyer or even engineer.
In those days when parents catch their children playing football or moving with a musical group, they are in for it. This is changing now. Parents are now re-orientating themselves that the world has changed a great deal and professions they regarded as for drop out in past are now the money spinners and you could combine these professions together with going to school.
Parents even now pay for studio sessions for the children’s song recording. Encouragement you say! Acting, football and musical academy are spring up all over, teaching these acts as well as formal education.

Putting AdSense into check

Google makes adsense seems so easy a nut to crack as though one can earn money with adsense effortlessly. They display adsense ads on various sites such as, 'earn money with your passion,' 'make money with your blog,' etc. I tell you, adsense isn’t a nut easy to crack as Google portrays it. To get adsense approval on your website is such a ethic and herculean task. The reality of this dawns on you when you eventually delve into it. Ordinary adsense approval on your site can take you the next 6 months to one year of intense hard work with strict adherence their policies.  Tell me, is that an easy one? Then, after getting their approval, you need to work three times as hard as you did during the approval period toearn anything meaningful out with adsense. As if that is not enough, as soon as they notice that you are approaching the 100 dollars threshold which is the minimum pay out cheque, your account is disabled for policy violations. I mean, adsense sucks, damn!

This is the more reason why Microsoft launched its ad network program called Microsoft Pub Center (MPC) to give adsense a run for its money. No wonder Google now advertises adsense on various websites like never before. More so why  many websites are now crossing over to other 3^rd party ad network programs like clicksor, media. Net, infolinks, B4psads whose minimum payout is lower and policies are very friendly. People now even prefer to advertise on facebook where they can readily meet targeted audience that can easily convert.

 Not until we put a check and challenge Google’s kingship of the internet, this its power drunk attitude and activities would continue to pose a nightmare to us all online entrepreneurs.

Automobile beauty

The beauty of any car lies in its bumpers. Once the bumper is disfigured, the car automatically appears ugly. Automobile manufacturing companies are yet to come out with new innovations as regards to car bumpers that will be very rugged and able to withstand external forces to some extent.
The bumpers of the present day automobile are just too fragile for my likening. Just a small hit from the front or behind pulls out the bumper completely or better still disfigures it. I think bumpers should be designed to have a high level of tolerance to collision. Just an observation!

It is a thing of joy and pleasure for me sharing my thought, knowledge and experiences with others. Become a WIZIAN today!
