He also disclosed that the firm is making arrangements for all its base stations to be 3G compliant in all tertiary institutions in the South-West geo-political zone before the end of the year.

Speaking earlier, the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Administration), Prof. Francis Oyebade, who stood in for the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Igbekele Ajibefun, had said, “We have seen many organizations performing their Corporate Social Responsibilities, but it is more gratifying to see an organization undertake Corporate Social Responsibility directed at what is considered to be the most important aspect of our national life.

We are very thankful to Etisalat for prioritizing partnership with our University to develop the academic potential of our 5 students. I am convinced that Etisalat is a company that is worthy of forming a synergy with.” The Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic), Prof. Oluyemisi Adebowale, who observed that the beneficiaries were all males, urged female students to work harder in order to benefit from the opportunity.

Experts warn Nigerians on abuse of data privacy

The President/Chairman Governing Council of the Institute of Information Management (IIM) Africa, Dr. oyedokun Oyewole, and the chairman Data and Knowledge Information Privacy Protection Initiative(DKIPP), Tokunbo Smith, have warned general public to desist from perpetuating abuse of data privacy in the country.

This in collaboration with other experts drawn from the legal, health, religious, educational and information management and other disciplines, in commemoration of this year’s Data Privacy Day (DPD), unanimously agreed on the need for speedy passage of the Information Privacy Act lying at the the National Assembly for close to a decade.

The Data Privacy Day was made to raise awareness internationally to discuss solutions for, the growing problem of data privacy vulnerabilities.

In his keynote address at the occasion held in Lagos, Oyewole, said it is essential for business leaders and other stakeholders to understand the full risk potential of data privacy threats and how to address these issues.

He recalled that in response to the increasing levels of data breaches and the global importance of privacy and data security, in 2010 the Online Trust Alliance (OTA) and dozens of global organizations embraced Data Privacy Day as Data Privacy & Protection Day, emphasizing the need to look at the long-term impact to consumers’ data collection, use and protection practices.


The IIM-Africa’s Chairman said, “The art of technological advancement is embraced by all nations including developing countries. Today, the world has become a global village where people share information at the same time but in different parts of the world over the internet.

Unfortunately, a developing country like Nigeria venture into such technology without understanding the implications and the legal frameworks under which those technologies function, considering the fast pace at which technology keeps evolving while the legal pace remains predominantly slow.

“In recent years, the number of African countries which have enacted privacy frameworks or are planning data protection laws has vastly increased. Currently, 14 African countries have privacy framework laws and some sort of data protection authorities in place”.

Meanwhile, seven African countries have data protection bills in place: Nigeria, Kenya, Madagascar, Mali, Niger, Tanzania, and Uganda.

“Nigeria has two Data Protection related bills (one dated 2008 and the other 2010) yet, neither has been passed into law”, he lamented.

Speaking specifically with regards to ‘Issues, Challenges and Opportunities’ in data privacy, the keynote speaker said, “Businesses and their customers’ alike collect, store and transmit vast amounts of information electronically, and they want to believe that this information is secure. At the customer level, the concern for data privacy should stimulate laws and regulations aimed at addressing those issues including what information can be collected and maintained, how the information should be stored, how and where information can be transmitted, and required actions in the event of a security breach.

5 Ways to Be a Good Husband

A lot of women complain how good husbands are a myth. Women always think that they are the ones who compromise and make effort in a marriage. Perhaps these generalizations affect the way people react to one another a lot. To make sure you wife doesn’t say this, a few practical steps can be taken. You do not have to shower her with rose petals every morning or give her massages to make sure she says that. Just do a few of the following, and watch the magic:

5. Give her a love session every day.

This is perhaps my secret way to maintain a healthy relationship. No matter how busy or occupied the two of you are, take out at least 15-20 minutes for each other every day. It could be any time of the day. I prefer it before sleeping though. Spend time with your wife. Give her all your attention. Talk to her, hear about her day and pamper her. When she goes to sleep happy, she will have an even better day in the morning. 

4. Let go of fights and arguments.

My father used to say that if a married couple tell you that they do not fight, they are lying. When two people are together, it is impossible for them to stay so without disagreeing over something. There are always conflicts and arguments. This does not mean that the two people keep fighting and screaming at each other all the time. However, a normal level of fights are okay as long as you let go of them. Do not keep grudges in your heart and do not say hurtful things to each other while you are angry. This makes you a good husband and keeps the marriage healthy. 

3. Do not bring your work matters to home.

Some men carry all their work load home. They consider it an obligation to remind their wives of the hard work they do all day long. Along with that, the bad moods that come with the work, such as issues with other colleagues or the bosses, come back home too. To be a good husband, keep a check on that. When you come back home, come in a good mood. Even if you are mad, put that face aside. You can rant to your wife later, but when she hasn’t seen you the whole day, she wants to see you with smile at least. 

2. Pay attention to her issues.

Whether she stays at home or goes to work, you have to listen to her. She wants to tell you about her day. She wants to discuss her activities with you. Most men tend to assume that if she is a house wife, she will not have anything interesting to say. They get annoyed at their milkman or laundry stories. A good husband will not care about whether his wife was at an interesting warzone, or at home – he will just want to hear her out to make her feel wanted. 

1. Give her an equal share of the house affairs.

Some men tend to divide the house affairs assuming that the cleanliness affairs go to her while the finances stay with him. If you want to be a good husband, keep her informed of all the matters at home. Keep her informed about how you are paying the bills, what are you saving and how are the other activities of the house carried out. Most women only know that they have to call their husbands during sanitation problems or when they need a carpenter, because the husband maintains such contacts. Do not force her to do such jobs – if she doesn’t want to – but at least keep her well informed about how these things work.

Explosions Rock Five Buildings In Benin

Explosion on Tuesday rocked about five residential buildings on Zomi-Zomi Street at the Upper Sakponba axis of Benin City the capital of Edo State.



Although no live was lost in the incident, which occurred in the afternoon, some occupants of the buildings sustained minor injuries.

The explosion, however, shattered part of the front perimeter fence, aluminum roofing sheets and bore hole rubber tanks.

In the premises of the buildings, papers were littered around.

A team from the anti-bomb squad swiftly deployed to the area which was subsequently cordoned off.

The Edo State Police Public Relations Officer, Stanley Osifo, confirmed the incident to Channel Television in a phone call.


He said it was an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) that had gone off.

Mr Osifo explained that the occupants of the building, where the IED went off, had been taken in for further questioning

He also said the police have commenced profiling of the residents of the area, as he believes that will assist the police with more facts about the incident.

Zika Virus: WHO Declares Global Emergency

The World Health Organization has said that a disease linked to the Zika virus in Latin America poses a global public health emergency requiring a united response.



With the increasing report of infection as a result of the virus, experts are worried that it is spreading far and fast, with devastating consequences.

The infection has been linked to cases of microcephaly, in which babies are born with underdeveloped brains.

The WHO alert puts Zika in the same category of concern as Ebola that ravaged some countries in Africa.

“Extraordinary Event”

It means research and aid will be fast-tracked to tackle the infection.

There have been around 4,000 reported cases of microcephaly in Brazil alone since October, the BBC reported.

WHO director general, Margaret Chan, called Zika an “extraordinary event” that needed a co-ordinated response.

“I am now declaring that the recent cluster of microcephaly and other neurological abnormalities reported in Latin America following a similar cluster in French Polynesia in 2014 constitutes a public health emergency of international concern.”

Dr Chan justified declaring an emergency even amid uncertainties about the disease, saying it was time to take action.

The WHO faced heavy criticism for waiting too long to declare the Ebola outbreak a public emergency.

Currently, there is no vaccine or medication to stop Zika. The only way to avoid catching it is to avoid getting bitten by the Aedes mosquitoes that transmit the infection.

The WHO has already warned that Zika is likely to “spread explosively” across nearly all of the Americas. More than 20 countries, including Brazil, are reporting cases.

Most infections are mild and cause few or no symptoms, although there have been some reported cases of a rare paralysis disorder called Guillain-Barre syndrome.

Why we transferred Mbaka - Catholic Church

The Leadership of the Catholic Church in Nigeria has explained the reason behind the recent transfer of controversial Catholic priest, Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka from Enugu to Emene. According to the Secretary-General of the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, Reverend Father Ralph Madu‎, Mbaka's transfer was to make him more useful in his service. He refuted claims by Mbaka that his transfer was a punishment and a calculated move to make him suffer.



"‎Mbaka’s transfer is not an exception; the Bishop has the right to post any priest wherever he feels his service would be more useful to the church.
His posting should have been a privilege, not a punishment which the Bishop can do because he has the power. If he says it’s a punishment, then it’s open for further investigation. Posting is a regular thing, a priest can be transferred after two, three, four, or more years. It depends on the discretion of the Bishop. That ministry (Adoration Ministry) is his private ministry. It does not belong to the church. Overseeing a parish is a full time job. Overseeing a ministry is a bigger task. If the church decides to take him somewhere where he’ll have more time to carry out his ministry, how is it punitive? That should not be the language.”he said



Madu said Mbaka had done things that were unacceptable to the church in the past but received no punishments for them.




“He is supposed to be a missionary. What if the Bishop had closed down the ministry , which is within his power to do? Sometimes, transfers can be for the good of the priest as something can be going wrong which he might not be aware of. The Bishop is free to move any priest at any time, it is his prerogative.”




Fr Mbaka is to resume immediately at his new post at the Our Lady Parish, Emene. The priest, who is as fiery as he is controversial, had described his re-posting by the church as a “calculated move” to make him suffer.”
