#ScenicAfrica! Calm Your Nerves With Beautiful Photos From Some Unexplored Regions In Africa

Africa is far more beautiful than many people across the world will ever know. For instance, this evening, I saw one of the most imaginably beautiful sights there may be. So, I made this spontaneous tweet which I now transcribe here 👇 

"Hello World!
My name is Desmond. I am the founder of @AwakeDigest Magazine. This is to inform YOU that, we have a new program named #ScenicAfrica where we are showcasing beautiful sceneries from Africa.

"More details on that later on. But, for now, let me report a SPECIAL FEATURE:
"I am spending time at a resort in the rural town of Utuh in Nnewi South LGA of Anambra State, Southeastern Nigeria.

"This evening, I was enjoying a quiet time as I walked through a lonely pathway. I SAW A BREATH-TAKING SUNSET as I descended a low hill, facing the west! (NOTE: I wrongly said "east" in my tweet)

"But, UNFORTUNATELY, I didn't have my phone. So, I couldn't grab the scene immediately. As a result, I RAN OFF to get my phone.

"Villagers who saw me run might think that I was off my mind. However, before I could return, the BREATH-TAKING SCENE was gone👺

"Tomorrow will be another day. Please, join me to encourage me.

"TRUST ME: Watching the scene had such a CALMING EFFECT on me. And I believe it's going to have similar effect on you too.

"THE PHOTOS I SHARE HERE ARE WHAT REMAINED OF THE SUPER-BEAUTIFUL SCENE I SAW EARLIER. They are what I met when I returned with my camera. Apart from the one above, here are more below. Kindly tell me what you think about them..."
This is how my camera captured the moon 🌙 calmly peering down at me at 7:25pm 👇
As I watched even these scenes (not the one I saw originally), I could almost see the day waving a 'goodbye' at me. It has such a calming effect on me! I hope other people would report similar effects as they watch the photos.

Tomorrow, I hope to be there waiting with my camera by 6pm.

Knowledge Is The Secret, But Maybe, Not What You Think Image credit: European CEO Pictured above is Peter Drucker (1909 - 2005). Drucker was a renowned management consultant and author who is often credited with coining the term " knowledge economy ." He first discussed the concept in his 1969 book, The Age of Discontinuity: Guidelines to Our Changing Society . In the book, Drucker argued that the economy was shifting from a focus on manual labor and industrial production to one centered on knowledge, information, and expertise.  In his 2005 book  Thinking For A Living , Thomas H.

Contradictory Statements Indicate That The Police May Have Lied Against Bristol Isaac

News reports of the arrest of Bristol Isaac by the Punch Newspapers has the accused doing two opposite things: A police spokesperson says Bristol " locked himself in the hotel room, smashed his phone, and flushed it down the toilet to destroy evidence. He also refused to surrender his phone's password, claiming he had forgotten it, thereby concealing information ". Our question is, if Bristol Isaac already smashed his phone and flushed it down the toilet to destroy evidence, WHICH PHONE'S PASSWORD DID HE REFUSE TO SURRENDER, CLAIMING HE HAD FORGOTTEN IT? Does a smashed phone flushed down the toilet still have passwords? We expect the police and their supporters to defend this possibly by saying that Bristol had more than one phone. If so, we ask: " What would make a person trying to destroy evidence to destroy one evidence-bearing device and leave another?" For us, this seems indefensible but we are open to any contrary opinion if anyone has a

A New Hacking Attempt Targets WhatsApp Users: How To Be Safe

A member of our team got this flash notification from WhatsApp recently... Clicking on ' Learn more ', this page opened: Apart from listening to the directive given above by the WhatsApp Admin, another way to stay safe is not to let ANYONE ELSE have access to your gadgets because you never can tell who is targeting you. The surest way to prevent unauthorised access to your gadgets is to create a lock🔒 for them and ensure that your passwords are not easy to guess. Also, if anyone you don't know gives you an unsolicited job offer or any offer at all, don't reply or respond to them. For example, don't click on any link they sent you. If you wait for sometime but they still haven't identified themselves clearly, you block and report them. An unwritten rule in cyber security says: THE MORE SECURE EACH PERSON IS, THE MORE SECURE ALL OF US ARE. So, consider sharing this with your circle. Another unwritten rule says, "THE MORE Y

#HarassOmokri2Pay: A Campaign Against Misinformation By Influencers

Someone may have burst the bubble of former Presidential aide Reno Omokri.  Image credit: Wikidata Reno is aware that most Nigerians might be averse to a research culture. So, he often freely gives a challenge that says, " fact-check me". My study of a series of Omokri's "fact-check me" tweets reveals that they are used to influence public opinion unfairly. So, recently, he gave such a challenge which appears to cast a past Nigerian Presidential administration in a bad light as a means of making the current administration look better than it deserves. In that tweet, Omokri was selling the Tinubu Administration using its air safety profile. To achieve that, Omokri, inter alia, claimed that Nigeria was averaging 5 Plane crashes per year some time during the Obasanjo days. As usual, Omokri said " fact-check me " and promised the sum of $10,000 to anyone who could fault his stats. I did the fact-check, faulted Omokri, and informed h
