VALIDATE YOUR REASONS

Yesterday, while discussing with my mum, she told me of some advice her local pastor had given her just after she returned from the burial of my dad.It was a tumultuous time in her life and she was faced with challenges on all sides, especially emotionally and financially.


He told her that she had to be strong. That she should get up each morning, dress up properly and go to her office where she worked as company secretary at the time. 


He told her that she either could sit indoors and play the pity party while becoming despondent or pick herself up right after his burial and go out there to ensure that the home had a sustainable means of income.


He specifically told her that folks would talk; they would point at her for the first, second and third week and may never stop but what should matter to her is ensuring that her children's well being were met and her mind whole.


She told me that it wasn't easy. Widowhood at the time required sitting in one place, head shaved and generally relocating to the village for a middle-aged Igbo woman with three kids none of which were in university.


But she did it. Folks talked. Her co-workers, landlord etc were shocked at her seeming non-chalance at the death of her husband. What they didn't know was that the woman was living each day as a survival course.


She made it. And went ahead to also get her GCE at one sitting from attending adult education as she needed it for her job security at the time.  We all went to university and graduated. 


It all isn't perfect now but it is a lot better than back then.


Here's a shoutout to all persons out there fighting their way through while society thinks otherwise - YOUR STRUGGLE IS VALID! YOU SHALL LAUGH AT THE END!


Have a great week people.

MIRROR:Android users urged to delete 23 dangerous apps


Android users urged to delete 23 dangerous apps that can fleece you out of thousands
Researchers from Sophos have warned about a new batch of apps that contain dangerous ‘fleeceware’, and could scam you out of thousands

From Google to Samsung, Android smartphones are some of the most popular handheld devices around the world.

But if you own an Android smartphone, a new report may convince you to reassess which apps you have installed.

Researchers from Sophos have warned about a new batch of apps that contain dangerous ‘fleeceware’, and could scam you out of thousands.

Sophos uncovered 23 apps that violate the Google Play Store’s new app policies (scroll down for the full list).

In a blog about the findings, researcher Jagadeesh Chandraiah explained: “The new Google-issued rules are designed to address some forms of deceptive marketing display copy, but they also have some loopholes that permit other behaviour some might consider unscrupulous.”

The dangerous apps use a range of tactics to fleece unsuspecting customers out of money.


Android users can tell if their passwords have been hacked with a single tap - here's how

Android users should do four simple things now to protect their smartphone from hackers
Some use a tactic called ‘blind sub’, in which they lure you in with promises of a free trial, but without details of how long the free trial lasts or how much you’ll be charged.

Others use at technique called ‘spam subscriptions’.

Mr Chandraiah said: “You sign up once, and find yourself subscribed to a bunch of different apps as the fleeceware apps advertise one another.

“Users sometimes unknowingly subscribe to hundreds of dollars worth of app subscriptions by clicking buttons like these.”

Meanwhile, another crafty technique sees the app displaying terms and conditions in grey fonts on white backgrounds, making them unreadable

Mr Chandraiah explained: “While not exclusive to fleeceware, some apps that charge a subscription still display the costs or important terms literally in grey fonts on a white background, or using incredibly tiny fonts that virtually blend into the background of the subscription solicitation on a mobile device.

“In so doing, the publishers perform the letter, but not the spirit, of the rules – they display the full subscription details in a way that the eye trying to read it just naturally wants to glaze over.”

Based on the findings, the researchers are urging Android users to be wary about which apps they download.

Mr Chandraiah added: “Be wary of apps that have short trial and high costs. If you want to unsubscribe from an app trial, please follow the instructions provided by Apple for iOS users or by Google for Android users."
