Nigeria: Why do you use Liberty Reserve?
Ecommerce Journal is a well-respected online news website about e-commerce and is one of the few websites I visit regularly. They have been predicting doom for Liberty Reserve in recent times and have done the same with one of their recent articles. The thrust of my blog post however is to react to a paragraph [...]

Saturday, August 16, 2008
I came across the Nigeria Customs Service website a few weeks ago and I think it is worth mentioning as I consider it the most professional website of a Nigerian government agency. It is commonplace to see websites of Nigerian government agencies shabbily done. The official portal of the Federal Government of Nigeria www.nigeria.gov.ng is [...]

Sunday, June 29, 2008
So you are a Nigerian? Or perhaps you are not? Either way, you are a citizen of some country somewhere and there comes a time in your life when you feel like you really love your country and would want the very best for your country. I cannot fathom a better way to be patriotic, [...]

Sunday, February 3, 2008
If there are any problems with the organization of the MTN Africa Cup of Nations (Ghana 2008) tournament, the artificial scarcity of match tickets will definitely be one of them. One simply can’t seem to get cogent information as to the whereabouts of the match tickets. They have suddenly grown wings and are now [...]

Saturday, December 22, 2007
I have a friend over at “Yomi Says“. We have a few things in common that I am aware of. Some are: we both blog, we both run web hosting operations, we both hate spammers/scammers! He even has a category on his personal blog called “Hall of Shame“, where he exposes some of the scammers [...]

Monday, December 10, 2007
Scam emails have been circulating the Internet for sometime now, attempting to trick people into entering their bank account login details into a fake version of their financial institution’s website. This criminal activity is known in Internet security circles as Phishing. To drive-home the point, I am quoting Wikipedia’s accurate description of Phishing: In computing, phishing [...]

Sunday, August 12, 2007
In a bid to curb the menace of passport forgery and identity theft, the Nigeria Immigration Service is phasing out the current machine-ready passports, and replacing them with electronic Passports. The new ePassports will come with electronic chips that store personal information about the passport holder. This is according to BBC News. Wikipedia describes an e-passport [...]

Wednesday, June 27, 2007
It’s now crystal clear to me that there is something certainly wrong with the Nigerian Country Code Top Level Domain (cc-TLD), the .ng domain registry. It is bad enough that for the past 3 weeks, I have had 5 domains in the final stages of registration, but no action has been taken by NIRA and the [...]

Monday, June 18, 2007
I got a message from one Taiwo Daniel (s********@yahoo.co.uk) a few minutes ago. At first sight, I would have deleted it but then I read closely the gruesome story below. I followed it up with a quick Google search and saw that this was an event that indeed took place. I am reproducing what I got [...]
Continue reading...Cashcards, release the money of Nigerians
Saturday, March 17, 2007
I got to know about CashCards for the first time, in June 2002. At that time, they were offering V-cash (a digital currency system), a VISA ATM card, e-gold to v-cash transfer and vice-versa. CashCards was also running GoldLynks. According to their website in 2001: The GoldLynks Club Dedicated to the Advancement and Enrichment of our Members Man [...]

Monday, June 26, 2006
Cash Cards LLC, operators of the not-so-popular V-Cash digital currency have freezed the V-Cash account of Nigerian account holders, citing the money-laundering activities in the West African nation as a reason. A forum-user on a Nigerian forum quotes: Effective Immediately, Cash Cards International can no longer do business with persons or businesses from Nigeria. For a number of [...]

Wednesday, April 5, 2006
This week’s round-up of Nigerian blogs starts with Naijablog (exp)’s assertion that Nigerians change their political language and thinking. His blog is titled: “The sterility of political discourse in Nigeria” Nigeria at this time desperately needs a new political language. Instead of 3rd term, South-South vs North etc, fiscal federalism, percentage deviation blah di blah, its [...]
