Ikeja DISCO pledges value driven services in 2014

The new management of Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC) on Monday in Lagos pledged to make its operations people oriented and value driven.

IKEDC said that it was making the pledge after series of consultations with various electricity consumers in its 11 areas of jurisdiction.

The districts are Abule Egba, Akowonjo, Ikeja, Ikorodu, Ikotun, Odojunyan, Ogba, Ojodo, Somolu, Oshodi and Ipaja.

IKEDC, in statement signed by Pekun Adeyanju, the Assistant General Manager (Public Affairs), said the meetings were part of efforts to establish roadmap towards uninterrupted power supply in 2014.

It said meetings also identified the need for public support and understanding through sustained consumer education that portrayed the true state of power distribution.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that NEDC/KEPCO Consortium emerged as the new owners of the former Ikeja Distribution Company following the transfer of PHCN assets to private investors on November1, 2013.

NEDC is the New Electricity Distribution Company, while KEPCO, a technical partner, is Korean Electric Power Corporation.

The statement also quoted Alex Kim, KEPCO Manager in Charge of Transmission and Distribution Business, as saying that the company was committed to instituting positive change in the power sector.

Kim said that his optimism stemmed from KEPCO’s preparedness to deploy new technology, focus on capacity building and world-class customer service.

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security. SMS-based 2FA has a known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to socially engineer an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack using algorithms to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Nex...

Floyd Mayweather Baby Mama Sues for $20 Mil ... He's a Despicable Liar

Floyd Mayweather could lose tens of millions of dollars from his big payday if his baby mama gets her way ... because she's just filed a lawsuit claiming he ruined her with lies to save his own ass. Josie Harris, who has 3 kids with Floyd, claims he lied through his teeth in an interview with Katie Couric just 2 weeks before the big fight ... when he claimed Josie was in a drug-fueled rage and he had to "restrain" her during their infamous 2010 domestic violence incident. Point of fact ... Floyd was convicted of domestic violence and spent two months in jail. Josie recounts her terror in the lawsuit, explaining how she and Floyd had broken up ... but he flew into a jealous rage that night, broke into her home and viciously attacked her while she was sleeping on her couch ... and her kids saw part of the beating. Harris says she is now labeled a drug addict thanks to Mayweather's lies -- and was embarrassed and humiliated on a global scale. Her lawyer, Dan Friedl...

Google, harder to search for results from other countries

For a long time, there was an easy way to conduct a Google search in a country other than the one you’re in. If you wanted to get results specific to Japan, for instance, you would visit www.google.co.jp; to get Australian results you would visit www.google.com.au — but this trick no longer works. Google has announced that it will now always serve up results that are relevant to the country that you’re in, regardless of the country code top level domain names (ccTLD) you use. The reason given is a little bizarre. The search giant says that the change has been introduced because of the way people are using the search engine these days. It says: “around one in five searches on Google is related to location, so providing locally relevant search results is an essential part of serving you the most accurate information.” The argument seems counterintuitive, however. Anyone who has changed the ccTLD has done so consciously, and for a reason — for Google to override this decision is strange...
