Lagos GIS – Buying land with peace

1

Government is serious business. And technology is making better. Yes, Lagos state has got a  Geographic Information System (GIS). For ordinary citizens, individual or corporate, this is a new world. You can acquire land with a higher peace of mind.

How does it work? An expert explains:

It will improve land acquisition a lot. It is also going to ease the burden of land administration also. It is going to enhance information which ordinarily you would have travelled kilometres to have. Now it will be at your fingertips. You want to buy a piece of land, you want to know the status and so on and so forth. With GIS, land information will be easy to access by you right inside your room. You can ascertain who is or was owner of the land you are interested in. You will also be able to know how many times such land has passed through how many buyers. Also, who is the current owner of the land? It is not who owns a land alone, who wants to buy a land that is supposedly under government acquisition? Even if it is under government acquisition, you can know the position you can buy and they will just ratify such a piece of land for you but there are some that are in prohibited areas, you dare not go there. Everyone wants to own a house. It is going to reduce 419 activities.

Glo has a great package which was introduced recently.

Globacom said it made the 25 kobo per second charge a flat rate which applies for all local calls irrespective of which network is being called or time of day or which part of the country the call is originating from.

A new package also allows subscribers to call one Special Number at only 2 kobo per second. Interestingly, no daily or monthly rental is charged to enjoy the very cheap rate. The subscriber, however, has an option of registering 5 Glo numbers which he can call at 18 kobo per second. Again, registration is free and there is no rental charge.

Fake Nokia Phones – The problem on Nigeria’s m-payment system

0

The Nigerian government must help in combating fake mobile phones in the country. Nokia flagged off anti-counterfeit campaign drawing many stakeholders into it last year. But for sometime now, nothing seems to be heard about it. The reason why all and sundry should join Nokia is simply based on the fact that fake phones could compromise the m-payment system. Phone companies have built some special features on security – fake ones could become the weakest links, especially now the country has gone into mobile payment,

Of course, counterfeit of products is not limited to Nokia products, it is all over the ICT sector and even beyond. All kinds of products from pharmaceuticals to electronics are all suffering that scourge.  There is a need to step up this fight to keep the ecosystem clean.
