How To Hide Your Private Files in a JPEG Image

Okay, this may sound incredible to you but yeah, it's not magic and no programming skill is required to do this. All you need is just follow these basics to hide important files in any of your photo/image on your system.
1. Gather the file you wish to bind, and the image file, and place them in a folder. I will be using C:\New Folder
-The image will hereby be referred to in all examples as pix.jpg
-The file will hereby be referred to in all examples as NewTextDoc.txt
2. Add the file/files you will be injecting into the image into a WinRar .rar or .zip. From here on this will be referred to as (secret.rar)
3. Open command prompt by going to Start > Run > cmd
4. In Command Prompt, navigate to the folder where your two files are by typing cd location [ex: cd C:\New Folder]
5. Type [copy /b pix.jpg + secret.rar pix.jpg] (don't forget to remove the brackets).
Now, as far as anyone viewing is concerned, this file looks like a JPEG, acts like a JPEG, and is a JPEG, yet it now contains your file(s).
In order to view/extract your file, there are two options that you can take
a) Change the file extension from pix.jpg to pix.rar, then open and your file is there
b) Leave the file extension as is, right click, open with WinRar and your file is there.

How To Detect/Differentiate A Real/Fake Facebook Account

Okay, good morning peeps. Today's article was inspired by an inquisitive colleague of mine who is very keen on protecting himself from potential online fraudsters and whom fears the integrity of his personal data on social network. We were having lunch at the Senior Staff Cafeteria when he popped the discussion and after several dabbling here and there, he passed his phone to me showing a friend request he just got from a beautiful supposed Brazilian lady. This colleague has never traveled to the Southern Americas before and there wasn't any mutual relationship between him, his friend list and the supposed Brazilian lady (i.e. he wasn't sharing any mutual friend with this lady) so he was very concerned as to how the lady got to know him so, he couldn't comprehend the link that warranted the friend request. Thus he asked me "how do I detect/differentiate a real from fake Facebook account"? That was when I took to explaining the different available techniques with which he could do that.
Here, I'll begin a series of lectures on just how to do that and I'll do that in one technique per post.
I'll start with the easiest technique. It is a very simple one that uses the profile picture of the account and doing the usual google search. Do not be worried, I promise you it's an easy one. The steps are as outlined below;
1. Go to the face book account you are suspecting,
2. Right click on the profile picture to release a drop down menu,
3. Select " Copy Image Link" or "Copy Image Location/Link" (depending on your browser),
4. Open another tab in your browser,
5. Open google search and paste the copied link,
6. Then press enter, go or search (again, depending on your device) then wait for the results.
You'll see results of the different sites that the image has been used on and if the first 5 results does not have at least 3 that bears semblance or same name and image as the account you are suspecting then that account is fake/fraudulent.
I have attached some image results I googled to this blog to enable your comprehension of the above technique so, thank me by sharing this post link across your family, friends, loved ones and colleague and... Dont forget to hit the like button and leave me your comments and enquiries. I'm sure there are a couple of articles like this one on the internet so, feel free to ask Google (the Oga at the Top). ☺

How to Differentiate/Distinguish Original from Fake USB Cable.

Well, the nature of my job as an IT Specialist and a Researcher, takes me from place to place every now and then and in most of my journey I come across folks complaining about how USB cables don't seem to work like those ones that were first shipped into Nigeria when the rave of smart devices just hit this region of the world. This has always given me reasons for concern most especially since, family and friends are amongst those whom are not considered as "Tech-Heads" and considering also the fact that fake USB cables and chargers can spoil/destroy your device battery and in some cases, your entire device thus, I got prompted to pen this down so as to create, at least, a reasonable sense of awareness.
There is a certain feature that one can look out for when buying one of these USB cables if one expects to get the best value for your money and/or make your battery life and device last longer for maximum utility.
When buying one of these USB cables from any tech store, you should look out for the colour of the metallic in between the two openings at the tip of the USB cable that goes into the charger. If the cable (or wire, depending on the one you understand the most) is not golden in colour but silver then, it's not an original one. This is because, copper that conducts the electricity between your power source and your device is usually golden in colour, not silver, does enabling proper conductivity of electric voltage. The ones with silver colour cable in between the two slots are made from aluminium and this is a poor conductor of electricity when compared to copper. This is as depicted in the picture shown below. Now, I believe you have the perfect check on which is, and is not, an original USB cable.



How To Download from Youtube

Okay! A lot of friends and followers have been sending me messages and requests asking me to do a tutorial on how to download from YouTube that's why I had to pen this down. Firstly, YouTube protects user rights by ensuring you don't just download videos off their site without proper rights permission. But, like every programmer knows, there's always a backdoor to any online resource.
Firstly, there are softwares and apps that allow you download directly from YouTube (available here https://goo.gl/08Eng2) but the working principle is still the same.
Secondly, using your browser (Mozilla Firefox in the case of mine) allows you the installation of an ad on that displays a download link directly on the YouTube video page you want to download. But, some of these softwares and apps may take up space on your device and most of them force you to view interrupting and unnecessary adverts. So, am going to show you how to download directly from your YouTube on your browser.
The first method is as enumerated below:
1. Go to your browser and type www.youtube.com
2. Search for the video you want to download
3. Click on the video and wait for it to load
4. Allow it to load then pause the video
5. Go to the address bar on your browser and you'll see something like this www.youtube.com/?/#watch/Vq3AhQng4Z
6. Now add ss before the youtube on that link (like this www.ssyoutube.com/?/#watch/Vq3AhQng4Z)
7. Delete everything between the com/ and watch (like this www.ssyoutube.com/watch/Vq3AhQng4Z)
8. The click enter or go (as it applies to your browser)
It will then take you to a page that will enable you download directly, in the format of your choice, the video you want to download.
Also, you could still download via this method by performing step 1 to 5, then step 7 but without the "ss", copy the link, go to www.savefrom.net, paste the copied URL/link in their search bar and click download.
About the ad on, click your browser settings tab, click add ad on, search for savefrom.net then install the ad on. After downloading and installing the ad on, every time you open YouTube on your browser a download option button is displayed on any video you click on YouTube.
Now, you can download your favourite videos from YouTube directly.
Thank me later by sharing the link to this blog with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, BBM and every other social network you belong to. After all, it's a free world.

There is No God?

There Is No God?

Between 75 and 90 percent of those that have known me, up to a good extent, know that I am that man that can be termed "nonreligious". This does not translate that I do not believe in the existence of God (am not an Atheist) and neither does this mean that I am a pagan (Sun worship per) or an Idolater. It logically and reasonably transpires to the fact that I believe in logical reasoning. Matter of fact, logic is what I feel best enable my sense of understanding to the best within my reach.

Of late, I have been observant of what transpires in the world today via the internet (both on social networks and news media) most especially the recent disturbance of "Gay-ism" that some affluent personalities and entities have been propagating, the world over, and the reactions of some certain people in some certain quarters of the societies of this planet.

Some have gone as far as using this, gay-ism, as an excuse (rather, as a medium) to preach of the non-existence of a creator (God). And most of them have gone as far as trying to convert people into accepting their ideologies and school of thoughts.

Why I chose to put this pen on paper is what stemmed from my way of reasoning many, many years ago and my unanswered questions and theorems on Wiki Ask™ nine years ago (precisely in April, 2006).

During our primary and post tertiary levels of acquiring formal education, we were taught how man came into existence with two theorems (even when they both actually translate to one theorem) of science, logic and reason. And these are the "theory of evolution" (originally the Charles Darwin Theory of Evolution) and "the black hole" (Big Bang Theorem).

The "Theory of Evolution" was practicalized as proof to us through the use of one of the smallest unit of life (a tissue of cell) by asking us to take a small crumb of bread, put it in a glass jar, seal the glass jar from air (and other contaminant), dropping it (the glass jar) in a dark cupboard (ensuring no light can penetrate the jar and the cupboard) and allowing it to stand for at least seven days. We were then asked to observe the bread crumb on the seventh day, or after. We actually observed that mucus and, likely, grey matters of amoeba, had grown on it.

Now, basic science taught us that amoeba is a cell (which actually is the smallest unit of life) and thus a living thing.

In this basic science, and in both biology and integrated science in post-primary school, we were taught how the first smallest unit of life (a cell) evolved into a tissue and tissues, and subsequently a whole living system. The first ape was then classified to us, from moving from Homo-Erectus, Neanderthals to Homo-Sapiens and to the present day man and it still ensured to prove to us that man would evolve from this stage to growing wings and becoming Aves, that can fly. Thus, a time will come when men would be flying around with naturally grown wings (Bull Crap!).

The Big Bang theory was explained to us in this manner;

"Two heavenly bodies traveling on the same path, in opposite direction, with very high velocity, collided and exploded and their debris is what brought about the planets found in our universe today"

Another Bull Crap!

I wonder if the pioneers of academic learning actually thought that the whole of human race was never going to develop intelligently to ever dispute their personal opinions (Yes! Their personal opinions) or they just wanted to make a fool of man for the whole of eternity. I wonder this because, I most time think of how foolish they were to have cooked up such "scandalous bull-crap" and expected that it would be accepted that way, without questioning, for eternity.

On this fateful day of April, 2006, I logged on to the Wiki Ask™ forum only to meet the topic "Is there really a God?" and the discussion was booming with comments of opinions from different atheists, idolaters, pagans, philosophers, scholars, scientists, and other religious bigots about God and no God so, I decided to give them (mostly the atheists, philosophers and scientists) a ride on their own treat by asking for answers to my simple yet logical question of God or no God from the two theorems that philosophers and scientists usually put forward to buttress their reasoning on the existentiality of God not existing.

My first question was asked using a premise from the Big Bang (or Black Hole) theorem and it goes thus;

"taking two glass cups of exactly same measurements, dropping them from the same distance (height) with the same force to break on the floor into shads or pieces and photographing their shads or pieces, one after the other, it will be observed that they do not break or shatter into the same measurements of sizes, shapes, weights and each exact size, shape and weight will not fall on the same spot and exact distance from the others. Hence, since they wouldn't, how is it possible that the two heavenly bodies that collided formed the planets of our universe that has been rotating for billions of years about the sun, on and about their axis without skidding or sliding off from and on their axis, about their axis and have never rotated otherwise if not because they are obeying a law or command put in place by a superior and magnanimous being that is known as God?"

Secondly, using a premise from the theorem of evolution's experiment of bread crumb in a glass jar and the subsequent evolvement of a life form known as amoeba, I asked;

"Bread is majorly flour (gotten from grinding wheat into powder) and yeast, both from living things. Bread crumb is from flour, flour is from wheat, wheat is a crop (plant) thus, it is also a living thing and we all agree to that (no doubt from any school of thought at all about that), now who created that first living thing (the wheat plant) that was used to make flour which in turn make bread, that we got our crumb from, that gave rise to that first living organism that has evolved to become man in his present day that will evolve into the flying Ave man so expected to come by scientists and other believers of that school of thought, if not a superior and magnanimous being that is known as God?"

As at the moment of penning down this thoughts of mine, these two questions above are yet to be answered and, like I told them in that forum;

"until my two theorems as questions are satisfactorily answered beyond all reasonable doubt (even when I do not attach myself to a particular form of religion, for the fact  that I see religion as a brain-child of man and the main problem of man)"

I will continue to believe in God and the fact that God exists.

At this juncture, I strongly believe that after you are done reading this and you still believe God does not exist then "You are on long thing. OYO for you O...". As for me and my household, there is a God, He is God and we will continue to worship him, now and forever.

With this little logic, you still believe there is no God? "e be like say you don dey madt abi!"
