This is an entrepreneurial  cambrian moment and Nigeria is being redesigned by young innovators who are building empires of the future. Their technologies will eat frictions and save markets and sectors. From education to healthcare, from financial services to logistics, from construction to real estate, and beyond, it would be exciting.

The empires of the future are being built – and the next club of Nigeria’s richest will be techies. The military has already made way for the industrialists. The stable state now is that as we move into the application utility era, tech will rule infinito.

The world is numbers, say the Greek philosophers. Those who build with numbers will win the world. I am an #engineer; I am building. Forget the gossip, go and build and advance your nation. You would be rewarded – by the market.

By 2030, I expect 80% of richest Nigerians to have made money from tech.

Classy Wooden Shiny Roulette Details in a Casino

If you are a newcomer to the world of casino entertainment or simply want to expand your options by testing the waters in a new country, starting with the Canadian market is a great idea. After all, this is one of the largest and most hospitable gambling communities in the world. It has something to offer to everyone.

With such a wide range of Canadian platforms available, choosing the right one might be quite challenging. To help you make the decision, we have prepared a guide with the most important things you need to look for when choosing a real money casino online Canada .

Why Do You Need to Choose The Best Casinos?

The gambling market in Canada is worth billions of dollars and is growing bigger every year. It attracts both local and international operators who want to get a slice of the pie. But not all of them are legitimate businesses that can be trusted with your money. This is why it’s so important to do your research – to ascertain you are playing at a secure place where you will have fun and potentially win some money.

Here are some advantages of playing in the best casino online in Canada:

  • The casino will offer fair terms and conditions.
  • You will be able to find a massive collection of gambling options, including the latest releases.
  • There will be more chances to hit a good win, as you will get generous promos and will be able to choose games with the highest RTP.
  • You can be sure that your money is safe and that you will be able to withdraw the funds without any trouble.

Things to Look for When Choosing a Casino

When deciding what casino to play at, there are several factors to consider. To help you with the decision, we have prepared a detailed guide for each of them.

License

Licensing is the most important thing to pay attention to. If the site does not hold a valid license from at least one of the renowned authorities, such as Curacao or MGA, it is best to avoid it. The reason for this is that unlicensed gambling websites are not subject to any regulations and can pretty much do whatever they want with your money.

A legal online casino in Canada is much more likely to offer fair games and protect your personal information than an unlicensed one. If you want to be on the safe side, make sure that the platform of your choice has a valid license from at least one respected gambling authority.

Gaming Library

The more games the website offers, the better. But it is also critical to make sure that these games come from reputable providers. This way, you will be able to enjoy fair and exciting gameplay as well as interesting themes and features. Additionally, check whether the casino offers live dealer games that convey the land-based venue atmosphere.

A gambling establishment needs to cooperate with top-tier providers if it wants to offer a high-end gaming experience to its customers. If you see that the casino of your choice has games by BetsoftGaming, Endorphina, or Gamzix you can be sure that it is worth your attention.

Bonuses

All reputable venues provide numerous promos that give you the chance to boost your bankroll or hit some real money prizes. Various platforms have different bonus programs, so it is important to choose the one that suits you. For instance, some establishments supply no-deposit bonuses that allow you to test the games without risking any of your own money. Other frequent promos include reload incentives and cashback.

It is important to remember that not all bonus offers are created equal. To ascertain that you are getting a good deal, always check the bonus conditions before obtaining any offers. This way, you will know exactly what you need to do to get the bonus and cash out your future winnings.

Payment Methods

When it comes to payment options, the more of them there are the better. You will be able to choose the payment method that suits your needs best. The most common payment options at Canadian casinos comprise cards and e-wallets.

It is worth checking out whether the website charges any fees for transactions, as this can cut your winnings. Furthermore, check how long it takes for the money to reflect in your account, as some methods are faster than others.

Support Service

If you encounter any troubles while playing at an online casino for real money in Canada, you should be able to get help from a team of trained professionals. The best gambling websites offer 24/7 support through chat and email so that you can always get in touch with someone if you need assistance.

It is better to check if the venue features a FAQ section, as this can provide you with the answers to your questions without having to contact customer support.

What Online Casino is the Best for Canadian Gamblers?

There are a lot of decent platforms out there that cater to Canadian gamblers. And one of them is King Billy Casino, which has everything you need for a great experience. This safe online casino in Canada operates under the MGA license and offers a massive collection of entertainment provided by top developers.

The main advantage of playing at King Billy is its bonus program. Newcomers can leverage a whole welcome package that can give them up to $2500. This is a perfect way to boost your bankroll and have a lot more fun while playing the games. Existing customers can also take advantage of various reload incentives, cashback offers, and free spin promotions. It is really worth keeping on being active on the website.

On Buju: Assaulting a police officer is a felony

0

A Nigerian star singer BXN formerly known as Buju trended all day yesterday due to the face-off he had with the men of the Nigerian police force in Lagos. 

While he was venting his anger on his Twitter handle due to the ordeal, the star singer boasted to have spat on the face of one of the police officers that accosted him. His fans and lover of his craft were all hailing him to have stood his ground and spat on the face of a police officer that was harassing him. 

The ignorance of that tweet made by the star musician where he boasted to have spat on the face of a police officer is deafening. Those hailing him to have done that in his comment section were also quite ignorant of the laws of Nigeria. They had no idea that spitting on a police officer, attacking a police officer, pushing a police officer or making any aggressive contact, or having a physical confrontation with a police officer or any member of any law enforcement agency in Nigeria is a criminal offense as it amounts to assault and obstruction of the course of justice which is a serious offense regarded as a felony in the Nigerian criminal justice system and it is punishable with at least 3 years imprisonment term. 

While Nigerian police officers are fond of harassing innocent citizens and abusing their powers; the recent works of the police authorities and the Inspector General of police of chiding the abusive officers, and punishing those found abusing their powers should be commended and in other note, citizens should not be quick to take laws into their hands by being confrontational with officers of the law; law enforcement agents are representative of the government and it is the government that has empowered them to do their job and any affront or confrontation or aggression toward officers of the law is aggression against the government of the federal republic of Nigeria and this is tagged a felony punishable with a jail term 

Reproducing the provisions of s.356 of the criminal code here which criminalizes and punishes assaulting a police officer, thus; 

Any person who:

(1) assaults another with intent to commit a felony, or with intent to resist or prevent the lawful arrest or detention of himself or of any other person; or

(2) assaults, resists, or wilfully obstructs a police officer while acting in the execution of his duty, or any person acting in aid of a police officer while so acting; or

(3) unlawfully assaults, resists, or obstructs, any person engaged in the lawful execution of any process against any property, or in making a lawful distress, while so engaged; or

(4) assaults, resists, or obstructs any person engaged in such lawful execution of process, or in making a lawful distress, with intent to rescue any property lawfully taken under such process or distress; or

(5) assaults any person on account of any act done by him in the execution of any duty imposed on him by law; or
(6) assaults any person in pursuance of any unlawful conspiracy respecting any manufacture, trade, business, or occupation, or respecting any person or persons concerned or employed in any manufacture, trade, business, or occupation, or the wages of any such person or person,

is guilty of a felony and is liable to imprisonment for three years.

On this note, if the wrath of the law is to descend on the star musician Buju who is loved by many he may be sent to jail for assaulting a police officer but we hope that justice will be delivered with mercy.

Finance App Users At Risk As 50 Apps Pose Cybersecurity Threats To Businesses

0

There is no disputing the fact that the covid-19 pandemic accelerated the global adoption of digital payments and the use of finance applications. The emergence of Fintechs across the globe has enabled a lot of people to send and receive payments, as well as save money on their smartphones through these apps.

However, there seems to be a major constraint posing a serious challenge to these apps, as a recent study revealed that two cybersecurity assessment reports of the top 50 android apps for shopping and finance have indicated security risks to users, including businesses in Nigeria, which was revealed by Appknox, a well-recognized plug-and-play security platform.

According to the report, it disclosed that a high percentage of these apps were marked as high cybersecurity threats to users, thus putting confidential customer and business data at risk. The report, which has been tailored to be geographically specific to ensure a more significant impact on the target audience, showed that 60 percent of Finance apps and 72 percent of shopping apps posed a dangerous risk to users.

The cybersecurity assessment was presented to Nigerian customers and businesses which function particularly in the retail industry to help them assess the magnitude of security concerns from using the apps. This is coming amid the global danger of e-commerce fraud where businesses across the globe have lost billions of dollars, with more than $20 billion lost in 2021.

The cybersecurity test report which was unveiled in Lagos by CED technologies in partnership with Appknox, disclosed that through the report, app developers in the country would learn to create cost-effective and efficient mobile application security strategies.

The aim of the security strategies is to safeguard the use of these finance apps, and also to guarantee the safety of business data while adhering to international security standards.

According to CED technologies, they disclosed that this report would greatly benefit businesses in Nigeria, as it will help to create the much-needed awareness and also help them understand the importance of cybersecurity for applications built for their businesses.

It has been estimated that by 2025, the adoption of digital payments will accelerate by 5 to 10 percentage points globally. Therefore, there will be an exponential rise in the use of Finance apps, which will no doubt see a surge in cybersecurity threats. Majority of these apps have been disclosed not to have adequate security built-in, leaving users to threats, thereby putting their confidential data at risk.

Although, almost every business that has an online presence is a potential victim of cybercrime, and cyber criminals choose their victims mainly based on two criteria; Maximum revenue and Maximum impact, which makes financial institutions (Banks) and Financial services/Apps their prime target.

Organizations in the financial sector are known to keep highly valuable and critical data electronically, from credit card details, BVN, and other sensitive data, with their routine handling of billions and trillions of dollars. As a result of all this valuable data in their possession, cybercriminals are targeting the financial sector aggressively.

Therefore, it is important that the financial institutions (Banks and Fintechs) as well as Finance app developers, improve their defenses, by learning to create cost-effective and efficient mobile application security strategies to mitigate cybersecurity threats.
