Hey guys how's it going? I have come across several articles on the web saying that you do not need to be passionate about a particular subject before considering blogging.  Well, I totally disagree! I can categorically tell you that if you are blogging about something you are not passionate about, you will eventually get bored about it probably after your first 100 posts.  Yea your opinion may differ but this is what I believe. I've seen friends that started out blogging about something they have little or no knowledge about and they ended up quitting because they found it boring along the line. If you want to start blogging, there is need for you to consider choosing a topic that you love so much, something you can never get bored with when you are writing or teaching people. When you are blogging, you are literally passing out useful informations to your readers. you want to help them solve their problems. So how can you do that when you are blogging about s

Hey folks! Have you heard?? According to a UK analytic company , Madagascar, an African country with a population of 25 million people, now emerges as the country with the fastest broadband internet in Africa . At 24.9 megabits per second, they stand as the 22nd country with the fastest broadband internet in the world. Apparently, Madagascar do have their their largest internet provider(Telecom Malagasy) to thank. Telecom Malagasy built a 10,000km-long East African Submarine Cable System (EASSy) which happens to be an undersea cable and it stretches from Sudan to South Africa. The strange thing here is that although, Madagascar have the fastest broadband internet speed in Africa, only 2.1% of the country's population have access to the internet. The following is a list of Africa's Top 10 Fastest Internet Speeds 1. Madagascar-  24.9mbps 2. Kenya-            10.1 3. South Africa-   6.4 4. Cape Verde-    3.2 5. Ghana-            2.9 6. Zimbabwe-    

Hi folks! Did you know that four of the technology giants are uniting to make it easier for users to download and export data between services?  Yes! that's the latest! The technology companies announced the DTP which means Data Transfer Project today, July 20 . Wondering what this Data Transfer Policy is all about?  Well, the DTP is an open-source idea initiated to create new tools that help people move their information across different web platform easily.

Hi folks, how's it going? Have you ever found it difficult to change your Blog's Adsense account? Well, this can sometimes be a daunting task for newbies and I must say can be very annoying because I've been there.  People have different reasons for changing their Adsense Account and as far as I'm concerned, the most common reason is due to change of website URL.  I have once tried changing my Adsense email address and apparently failed in my first attempt because Adsense didn't let me change my URL for some reason. At the time, I thought that it was also possible to use two Adsense accounts for a blog but I was disappointed and told by Google that it wasn't possible. You can only use one Adsense account for multiple blogs and not the other way(multiple Adsense Accounts for one blog). So this is how it all happened: It all started when I decided to change the URL of my 2month old blog on blogger. After making the changes to my blog URL, I got a mes

It currently appears Facebook have another problem with Privacy and this time, it's about its Closed groups. This news came up when a closed Facebook group moderator, Andrea Downing, found out that a chrome extension called 'Grouply.io' allowed her download employers, names, locations, email addresses and other personal info on the group that has 9,000 members . Huh? How's that possible??? I'm as surprised as you are. According to CBNC , The 9,000 group is actually for women who's genes are associated with a higher risk of developing breast cancer and who have medication information or issues they don't want to be shared outside the group . The group moderator, Andrea Downing, decided to consult a security researcher, Fred, about her findings and he discovered that  closed Facebook groups had a privacy leakage that gave Grouply.io the opportunity to gain access to their information .

The internet cost/speed in Nigeria is still a problem for users but it certainly didn't stop users from constantly browsing the Internet. The number of internet users in Nigeria increased further in May, 2018 with the number reaching 103 million according to the NCC. This figure is evidently different from the result in 2012 when Nigeria recorded 28million internet users in the country. Yes I'm among those folks who believe the internet cost/speed in Nigeria is way too expensive and has had a lot if people stuck without internet connection because they cannot consistently afford it. It has been revealed by QZ that the monthly broadband packages in Nigeria cost more than the minimum wage. If you would like to see a comprehensive list of African countries that have the most expensive internet, Click here .

The investigation of Facebook's role in the Cambridge Analytica Scandal is not over yet as FBI, the Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC), and the Federal Trade Commission(FTC) are also investigating. Back in May, The New York Times reported that the FBI and DOJ are focusing on the political consulting firm, but it looks like the probe is way bigger than that. The Federal Agencies are currently looking into any mismatch in the recent stories told by folks who were involved, plus Facebook's CEO's testimony to the Congress. The investigation is still ongoing and we can only wait for more info or developments to know if the agencies are going to decide to place a penalty on Facebook or file charges. According to the The Washington Post , these Federal Investigators are working together to find out Facebook's involvement with Alexander Kogan's activities three years ago. Kogan is a researcher who built the Thisisyourdigitallife app, and it is this app th
