Small secrets will help you make money in Bet9ja

Small secrets will help you make money in Bet9ja

Many Nigerians prefer to bet on the Bet9ja service. It provides an opportunity to break a large jackpot. Not everyone likes the idea of trusting their money to chance so they use some special Internet portals to see the latest Bet9ja prediction. The operator’s website reports that you can get up to 20 million Naira. It is difficult to say no to this kind of deal. When a great sum is at stake, people would do anything necessary. People who understand the rules and use all the available tools can change their lives forever. A good prediction site can help to gain some advantage without breaking the rules.

How are football predictions made?

People would like know how football predicting sites get their information. Should they be trusted? There are sites that predict football matches correctly – a rarity but they exist. The professionals do a lot of hard work: they analyze statistics and delve into events in advance. They also employ a few strategies long before the day of the game.

Situational football prediction is made directly before the game itself. It includes the following factors that can have a serious impact on the outcome of any match:

• player injuries;

• their current form and functional condition;

• team composition and other important factors.

It is necessary to determine the situation of the team in their previous games. For this analysis, it is often necessary to take into account the results of last five or six matches. Such data will contain all the statistical calculations: the number of penalties, fouls on the attack, fouls on the defense. The optimal time for conducting predictions on basis of such analysis is 10 -12 hours before the match begins.

How to find a reliable site?

If you have learned how to use Bet9ja codes and meaning of every option on the site is quite clear to you, then it’s time to find a reliable prediction site:

1. Only pay attention only to sites with a long history, and that has been operating for several years. On the Internet, we have access to an archive of sites where you can check the history of each site without exception and track their progress.

2. Decent sites always provide free access to their data and archives of free forecasts, which again proves that they have nothing to hide from their users. At any moment you can view the archive pages and check whether correct calculations are presented on the site.

3. In addition, sites that constantly update their content and often add interesting and useful articles deserve your attention.

What’s better: paid or free predictions for Bet9ja codes?

What are the advantages of free predictions over paid? Most people might prefer to go for the free websites but you ought to be careful. Experts who sell their sports forecasts work under pressure, since their earnings depend on their effectiveness. Sites, whose forecasts do not bring profit, very soon lose the source of their income, so for them the preparation of forecasts is tied to risk and stress. No sports analyst gives 100% guarantee on his predictions, because it is impossible to accurately predict all the matches in the world. But when it comes to accuracy, they are more trusted.

Analysts working on sites with free forecasts do not have such pressure, so often their effectiveness might not be as trustworthy. Basically, they have nothing to lose. However, as long as they remain professional and want to encourage more users, they also have to put in the work.

Google CEO Visits Nigeria, Launches Offline YouTube To Help Nigerians Save On Data

Google CEO Visits Nigeria, Launches Offline YouTube To Help Nigerians Save On Data

Google boss Sundar Pichai joined members of his executive team on his first visit to Nigeria as the company launched YouTube offline for Nigeria to help users save on data costs.

“What a great honour to have had our CEO @sundarpichai join us for #GoogleforNigeria today,” it tweeted via its verified handle @googleafrica.

Pichai who announced a series of products for the country, including YouTube Go, a platform where users with slow Internet can preview and save videos, also announced plans to train 10 million Africans.

This means that YouTube users in the country can now download any video in a range of different resolutions so that they can watch it later without an Internet connection.

Although, the cost of data is expensive and at times the Internet is very slow, Nigeria, with about 93 million mobile Internet users, making it the highest in Africa, is the second country after India to have the YouTube Go capability.

The move is certain to increase YouTube’s growing Nigeria base, which the platform is keen to court; it held the first YouTube sub-Saharan Africa awards last year and prominent Nigerian bloggers have been featured in advertising campaigns around the country.

According to Google, owners of YouTube since 2006, the number of hours of video content being uploaded in Africa has doubled for the past two years, while viewing time on mobile phones is grown 120% year over year.

According to Caesar Sengupta, Vice President of product management, Google will also launch a partnership in September with Japanese mobile manufacturer Freetel to provide 13,000 Naira (about $40) Android phones for the country.

Another feature that was launched for Nigeria was the Lagos Street View.

Imagery of 10,000 kilometres of Lagos roads, including Eko Bridge, Carter Bridge and the National Museum, are now available on Street View.

The tech giant is also set to launch Google Impact Challenge in Africa in 2018 as innovators from non-profits will be able to share ideas on how they can impact their communities and beyond.

“We ask non-profits from around Africa to nominate the best ideas and we allow local people to vote for what they think is the best idea. Nongovernmental organizations nominate themselves and people get to vote and choose where the funding goes to,” announced Pichai.

Google set up the challenge and visits regions across the world asking locals to share innovation that could help their communities and beyond. The winners will get a grant of $5 million to develop the concept.

Google grants arm will also train 100,000 African software gurus focusing mainly on Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa.

JAMB Finally Speaks On Universities’ Cut-Off Marks, Admission Criteria

JAMB Finally Speaks On Universities’ Cut-Off Marks, Admission Criteria

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has in a statement on Sunday spoken about the new Universities’ cut-off marks, admission criteria for the 2017/2018 admission.

In a statement signed by the commission’s Head of Public Relations, Mr Fabian Benjamin, in Abuja on Sunday,  JAMB revealed that the Board had held consultations with universities across the country to enable candidates meet the requirements and secure admission without the assistance of anybody.

He also explained that JAMB will ensure fairness irrespective of tribe, religion, and that it was determined to meet the expectations of Nigerians.

He, however, made it clear that cut-off marks will be decided at a policy meeting.

“Do not allow yourselves to be defrauded by internet fraudsters, the policy meeting would commence the 2017 admission with all mode, process and acceptable conditions for admission.

“The Prof. Oloyede led management is working to ensure transparent, acceptable and fair admission process.

“We have designed software known as Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS), where human interference will be completely removed, to promote credibility.

“The admission criteria would be keyed into the software and it will select candidates blindly according to the institutions requirement without any primordial consideration,” Benjamin stated.

It would be recalled that the board had in May said it is yet to release cut-off marks for placements into tertiary institutions for 2017 academic year, contrary to some media reports.

According to the commission, the policy committee meeting responsible for the determination of cut-o marks had not met, they thus, advised candidates in their best interest to jettison cut-off marks for the various courses that are currently being paraded.

Meanwhile,  JAMB has also said  it will not condone multiple registration for Direct Entry and Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME. It has  described the act of multiple registration as a serious offence in the process of obtaining the Board’s application forms presently on sale.

The board said the warning has become imperative for people to know and understand that violation of such rule would attract sanctions.

“Candidates are to note that our advertisement for 2017 UTME clearly states the penalty for any candidate caught buying two forms.

“Members of the public are requested to note that any candidate who indulges in double registration will be caught by our software and disqualified.

“The Board is not interested in the candidates’ money as is being insinuated by certain group who suggested to the Board that such registration will enhance the revenue base of the Board.

“No, we are more interested in the credibility of the examination and not the money, if money is our concern we will not be returning over five billion naira to the Federal Government coffers,’’ the board said.

ATM Hacked In 5 Minutes To Dispense ‘Free Money’

Video: ATM Hacked In 5 Minutes To Dispense ‘Free Money’
Despite warnings from the tech giant Microsoft that Windows XP is no longer supported and security updates are no longer needed urgently, ATM boxes, virtually everywhere, still have Windows XP as the base operating system.
A security researcher has now shown in a video that how a hacker can punch an ATM, hook up a cable, and infect the ATM machine with malware to get free money.

Watch Video here

In recent years many reports and cases of ATM machines have been invaded appeared. Banks have been taking care of each of the schemes but in fact, most ATM boxes continue to work with the outdated Windows XP system, making them highly vulnerable to attack.
This demonstration by Positive Technologies, which the BBC showed in the video we are about to see, requires the hacker to drill a small hole in the machine with an inch drill, remove a USB cable and physically infect the ATM machine with malware. While not the most delicate of the attacks, it is practical, according to Leigh-Anne Galloway, a security expert at Positive Technologies.
As we see in the video, the simple question “what’s inside the machine [ATM],” Galloway replied, “this is just a normal computer … it’s just a safe with a computer on top.”
After a few minutes, with the hack already perpetrated, the machine makes that familiar sound of an electronic box counting the money to be delivered to the client. Later after few seconds, the machine “spit” an amount of £20.

Multi-purpose malware
Of course nowadays, and with access to the machine that has several other valences, the malware can be used to collect credit and debit card information as well, and can spread throughout an ATM network, Galloway said.
Safety recommendations
Whether you are within our borders or anywhere in the world, always keep in mind where you raise money. Go to machines that are in busy places, but with the proper privacy. Well lit places, to verify that the machine does not have some “loose” structures, mainly in the card reader.
Always look for an ATM machine that has a surveillance camera and preferably within the banking institutions, at the airport or near the hotel where you will be staying.
If any machine has signs of being “broken in” or has signs of structural damage, avoid and look for another. So, what do you think about this? Simply share your views and thoughts in the comment section below.
