Fufu is killing Africans - Mensa Otabil

Fufu is killing Africans - Ghanaian Pastor Mensah Otabil Says.

Top Ghanaian pastor, Pastor Mensah Otabil, of the International Central Gospel Church in Ghana, has said that 'fufu' is gradually killing Africans.

Fufu, which is prepared with cooked cassava and plantain, yam and or cocoyam, is one of the many favorite delicacies in several countries in Africa.
Speaking at the national convocation of the 2017 Springboard Roadshow, he highlighted the need for a change in the attitudes of Africans, he also said the process in which fufu is being made was difficult and very unhygienic.

'Any food that if you have to eat you'll have to punish yourself, what's the sense in it? And the annoying thing is when you're pounding, the sweat will be going in and will be mixed, and even in the mortar, there are all kinds of bacteria in the corners. This is an ecosystem for bacteria, 5 years and we are still pounding and people will say, that's what we like.

It's killing us, because you know Africans we don't know what kills us, the thing is killing us but you say it's a witch because we never identify objectively the cause of the problem. Come to think of it, this fufu in this mortar is not sanitized , what impact does it have on our lives?' , he added.

Mark Zuckerberg's Plan to Save the World ... with Facebook

Mark Zuckerberg spent the first 13 years at Facebook trying to connect the world. Now he's focusing on how to stop the world from breaking apart.

In a nearly 6,000 word manifesto published Thursday, Zuckerberg writes candidly about how Facebook's mission for "building a global community" is contrary to the current political trend toward nationalism in the U.S. and abroad.

"When we began, this idea was not controversial," Zuckerberg writes in the post. "Yet now, across the world there are people left behind by globalization, and movements for withdrawing from global connection."

President Trump campaigned on a platform of stronger borders and rethinking global trade deals and alliances. Across the Atlantic, the U.K. voted to leave the European Union in a clear rejection of globalization.

"There are questions about whether we can make a global community that works for everyone, and whether the path ahead is to connect more or reverse course," Zuckerberg writes.

Zuckerberg has some ideas on how to be more inclusive and informed. The answer he provides, of course, is Facebook.

Zuckerberg describes ambitious plans to use artificial intelligence to crack down on terrorist propaganda, build new tools to "encourage thoughtful civic engagement" and incorporate "additional perspectives and information" in news feeds.

You May Never Have to Plug in Your iPhone Again.

Apple has joined an industry group devoted to wireless charging, strengthening existing rumors that the next iPhone will charge without a cord. The Wireless Power Consortium, which is made up of some 200 organizations that promote a single wireless charging standard, confirmed to CNNTech that Apple joined the group last week.

IPhone rumors swirl months before each new version is announced, and hype around the so-called 'iPhone 8" is particularly high: Apple (AAPL, Tech30) is expected to unveil a major redesign of the this fall to mark the 10-year anniversary of the smartphone.

The company has already shown interest in doing away with cumbersome cords. The Apple Watch charges wirelessly, provided consumers spend $79 on a magnetic charging dock. And the latest MacBook now comes with only one USB port.

Please Stop Charging Your Phone in Public Ports .

I know the feeling: Your battery is low, but you have to keep tweeting. You see a USB port or an outlet in public, plug in your device and feel the sweet relief of your phone charging.

That comfort could be shattered by an invisible attacker collecting information while your phone is plugged in to a hacked outlet.

"Just by plugging your phone into a [compromised] power strip or charger, your device is now infected, and that compromises all your data," Drew Paik of security firm Authentic8 explained. Authentic8 makes Silo, a secure browser that anonymizes web activity.

Public charging stations and wi-fi access points are found in places like airports, planes, conference centers and parks, so people can always have access to their phones and data. But connecting your phone to an unknown port has its risks.

The cord you use to charge your phone is also used to send data from your phone to other devices. For instance, when you plug your iPhone into your Mac with the charging cord, you can download photos from your phone to your computer.

If a port is compromised, there's no limit to what information a hacker could take, Paik explained.

That includes your email, text messages, photos and contacts. It's called "juice jacking," a term coined by researchers back in 2011. Last year, the same researchers demonstrated "video jacking," using hacked ports and your phone's video display to record everything you type and look at.

Stealing of Majek Fashek’s Song: Timi Dakolo Battles to Save His Name

FOLLOWING the story we published on Monday, in which Majek Fashek‘s management threatened to slam a N100 million lawsuit against Timi Dakolo for copyright infringement when he did a remake of ‘Send Down The Rain,’the latter has presented a proof of payment to put the records straight.

The soulful singer has insisted that he paid Majek’s management at the time of transaction to use the song. And in a series of documents he made available to NET, an online publication, an agreement was signed by a popular film maker and blogger, Charles Novia, who represented Majek Fashek while the sum of N500,000 was paid on behalf of Timi Dakolo by Now Music to November Records.

The receipt issued was signed for by Charles Novia. Dakolo also posted online a copy of the bank teller used in the transaction. Verifying Timi Dakolo’s claim, Charles Novia was quoted as saying, “I brought a statement on this last year which absolves Timi of any wrong doing and we still stand by that statement. ‘Majek in the presence of three or four witnesses gave us permission to negotiate that deal on his behalf.

Nokia 3310: Five Reasons Everyone Loves the Classic Nokia Phone Even Today .

There hasn't been a dip in excitement among Nokia fans ever since reports of the imminent launch of a Nokia 3310 refresh first made it to headlines. The news was later corroborated by one of the most prolific phone tipsters in recent times, Evan Blass, who claimed that the new Nokia 3310 will be unveiled at the MWC 2017 trade show later this month. 

The Nokia 3310 reboot is widely expected to get a price tag of EUR 59 (roughly Rs. 4,000) which will make it decently priced in the feature phone competition. Out of all the Nokia phones - Nokia 3, Nokia 5, and Nokia 6 global availability details - expected to be announced at the MWC 2017, the Nokia 3310 has no doubt become one of the biggest attractions.

When the Nokia 3310 originally launched back in 2000, the phone was promoted to be the best for chatting. The phone was also one of the first to boast of the Nokia Navi Key, which offered easy access to the phone's features.

The excitement around any reincarnation of the Nokia 3310 is such that the Finland-based company was able to pull a prank on consumers with a special Nokia 3310 version with Windows Phone 8 operating software, and 41-megapixel PureView camera back in 2014. Let's look at some of the reasons that make the Nokia 3310, the phone every user wants.

Battery life
The smartphone era may have seen its fair share of innovations in terms of camera, UI, processing power, and features but unfortunately, battery life has taken the biggest hit as mobile communication evolved. The original Nokia 3310 offered a healthy 260 hours of standby time and a decent 4 hours and 30 minutes of talk time for a 1000mAh battery. With the new Nokia 3310, we can expect the era of improved battery life to return.

'Almost' indestructible
The Nokia 3310 is no doubt one of the most iconic Nokia phones ever built. Much like other Nokia feature phones that are known for their durability, reliability, and simplicity, the Nokia 3310 was also considered to be among the sturdiest handsets ever built. The Nokia 3310 could easily survive drops or even accidental water spills. The biggest relief was the handset never required a screen protector unlike modern day phones. With touchscreens dominating smartphones, there has been the fear of phones with cracked screens for users.

Snake II
The Nokia 3310 refresh could mean that the legendary Snake game will make its comeback on a Nokia device. It was one of the most popular mobile games in the 2000s and the Nokia 3310 had it.

Coloured Shells
The Nokia 3310 refresh could also mean the return of the colourful rear shells. To recall, the Nokia 3310 was made available during 2000s in six different colours. Unfortunately, the unibody design has killed the fun of flaunting new coloured rear shells on phones.

Welcome screen
One of the features that I miss on my smartphone is the ability to tweak my welcome screen. Forget iOS, it's rare to find the option to edit your welcome screen this option even in most Android ROMs. The Nokia 3310 could bring that privilege to you.
