How to buy Recharge Card (airtime) from your Bank Account: USSD Code for all Banks

As seen in the image above, this was the message I got from Diamond newsletter some weeks back and was wowed with the speed at which the transaction got completed without glitches of any form. Instead of sharing the mobile airtime recharge code for Diamond bank alone, I have decided to extend it to every other banks that’s offering the USSD mobile airtime recharge service via the user’s bank account balance. Why this Option? USSD airtime recharge option can come in very handy when traveling, in a new location and/or when in need of urgent top-up for either data or voice calls.

It is completely free, reliable and secured as it is linked to the mobile phone numb

Hackers use decade old vulnerability to attack Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) has the opportunity to reinvent how we visualize the internet, but it also comes with a variety of challenges, including the threat of hackers devastating lives or destroying a business’s assets. This chaotic future may already be upon us, according to researchers at Incapsula. The DDoS protection provider showed a 12-year old flaw on OpenSSH to attack IoT devices, which lack common security practices like unique addresses and strong passwords. See Also:   Future hackers might freeze you out til you pay up Hackers are able to create botnets with this OpenSSH vulnerability, acquiring the processing power from IoT devices to hack large websites, government platforms, and other secure locations.

Nokia's legacy lives on with a new Android smartphone

This is the head of your page. Example HTML page This is the body of your page. After years of anticipation, Nokia is finally back in the smartphone game.  To little fanfare, the Finnish technology company HMD Global (HMD) Sunday unveiled the Nokia 6, a mid-range Android smartphone for the Chinese market. HMD  owns the rights to use Nokia’s brand  on mobile phones.  SEE ALSO:  Microsoft subtly admits the Nokia deal was a failure and 7,800 employees will lose their jobs The Nokia 6, which runs the newest version of Google’s mobile operating system,  Android Nougat , sports a 5.5-inch full HD (1920x1080 pixels) display.

The Most Reliable Budget Smartphones in Nigeria Right Now

Skip links Skip to primary navigation Skip to content Let’s face it: As exciting as picking a new smartphone is, it’s a very daunting task. Getting a new device is surprisingly exhilarating, no doubt. It’s like going into a new relationship with someone you found who you really like. Like? No, Love.  Loving someone is no problem when s/he has everything you’ll ever need from a partner. In some ways, it feels like she “completes” you. The problem however is: Finding that someone!  It could take what? – Days, weeks, months or even years. Hell, some folks never even find “that someone”.   Like “that special someone”, this new smartphone is something that would “complete you” (in some ways) for a given period (typically upwards of a year) and it’s something you’ll spend a whole lot of time with every single day of your life until you both part ways. Hence, for something this  delicate , it’ll be grossly unwise to settle for just about anything. No matte
