Top 10 fastest and slowest Internet speed in the world




The internet phenomenon, the ups and downs.
The internet was made available to the world in the late 80s through dial up connections which was able to reach maximum speed of 56 kilobytes. A broadband connection now is easily able to reach a minimum speed of about 700 kilobytes per second quite easily.
There are different ways to connect to the internet, fiber optic cables are a popular choice and are now the fastest way access the internet. The electrical signals are converted to light and are transported through optical cables. Ordinary cables are still used in the back of the modern day modems; these use coaxial lines to connect to the internet. Wireless connections are used in short distances, typically a router helps send wireless signals that are caught and made use of by those nearby. In remote areas satellites are made use of to access the internet.

Still on Basketmouth's RAPE joke (Opinion) by Don Abiodun Odedeyi

We all went 'gaga' over a 'simple' rape joke when millions of young adult sits and enjoy musical videos only to be 'entertained' by 'naked' women. We see these day-in day-out on both public, private and pay television stations.


To make matter sour, music lyrics recently took a different dimension with 'Caro' and 'Ukwu' being the centre of some of these songs.
For clarity, 'Caro' is an abbreviation for Caroline, a  feminine name and 'Ukwu', I understand, is Igbo word for 'buttock' but when visuals for 'ukwu' are shown, they are always mammoth female buttocks. For 'Caro', ladies are displayed in various degrees of nakedness.


And we want rape to be a thing of the past?

BETWEEN LAW AND SURVIVAL by Don Abiodun Odedeyi



At about 10:50am today (23/4/2013), I was around Adekunle Police station when I saw people gathered around something, my journalistic instinct kicked in and I alighted from the bus conveying me to Makoko. On getting to the scene, I saw a young man not more than 25 years old struggling for breath.

A section of the crowd pointed frantically towards Adekunle Police Station and I was able to see, on time, a three-man gang in mufti pushing a motorcycle across the street into the station

On inquiry, I learnt that Ibrahim (AKA Abule) ran into a team  of the Nigerian Police whose mission was confiscating commercial motorcycles.

When nabbed, Ibrahim did not let go of his motorcycle easily which got him kicked and punched. At one point, Ibrahim’s head was slammed to a nearby culvert, he let go on the motorcycle, stopped struggling and then slumped on the road.

Without a second glance, the three-man gang policemen left Ibrahim to his fate, LIVE or DIE.
Vehicles passing by were forced to change their course on approaching Ibrahim’s body. People gathered but seeing the state in which Ibrahim was, no one could muster the heart to help him.

Rachael Abe is one of the affected whose spoke with Don Abiodun Odedeyi.

“Our principal said if we cannot come to school with school uniform, we should not show up in school.”
Her mother, one of the affected residents of the area narrated her experience, “Right from the assembly ground, our children were turned back because they showed up at school without uniform… uniform they got burnt during the fire incident.”
Is that so, I asked.
