 In my previous post , I started introducing the several advantages of using Telegram over whatsapp and even any other social apps. Today, I will go more indepth in this topic. I will take it as a continuation of the last post.

6. In-App Browser

Another thing so interesting on Telegram is its ability to open links inside the app without taking you out to open another application. To access this feature, ensure you have Chrome installed on your device. Click the link you want to open and select Chrome in the pop-up menu. Instead of opening Chrome app, it will open the page inside the Telegram. fantastic!

7. Security

Telegram uses MTproto protocol which is a type of server-client and client-to-client system of encryption to secure your conversation with your friend. It is a cloud-based type of encryption that even your ISP cannot decipher.

8. Editing Conversations

Any message you send on whatsapp cannot be edited. But on Telegram, instead of using comment to correct chats, you can simply press and hold and edit the chat no matter when you have sent it.

9. Send Message to Yourself

This is another interesting feature of Telegram. In fact, I have simply turn my telegram to Notebook or jotter because of this. Any message or file you want to keep, simply send it to yourself. You can access such messages offline and from any device anywhere thereafter. So, you can use this feature as a kind of online or cloud-base storage for yourself.

10. File Size

When it comes to the size of files you want to share, that is a big limitation on whatsapp. But on Telegram, no limit to the size of files you can share. Because of this advantage, many channels are on Telegram to share movies regardless of the sizes.

I do hope you enjoy these information. Check back another time for another interesting post.

I will be delving into the advance features of Telegram in the next post.

SAVE OSUSTECH FROM MIMIKO’S CLAWS - APC CRIES OUT TO INDIGENES, PUBLIC.

SAVE OSUSTECH FROM MIMIKO’S CLAWS - APC CRIES OUT TO INDIGENES, PUBLIC.
===============================================

Ondo State University of Science and Technology (OSUSTECH), Okitipupa, Nigeria is located in Okitipupa in the Southern Senatorial District of Ondo State Nigeria and the only higher institution of learning in the region that is generating the major revenue for the state. The University was inaugurated on 27th September, 2010 by the then Executive Governor of Ondo State and Visitor to the University, Dr. Olusegun Agagu of blessed memory. Academic activities in the institution took off fully in January 2011 and the matriculation of the first set of students was held on Thursday 3rd of March 2011. OSUSTECH is a technology-based institution which aims at providing the needed manpower training required to address the critical areas of industrial and technological development of Ondo State and Nigeria as a whole, of which the proposed Olokola Free-Trade Zone and Deep-Sea Port, Olokola Liquefied Natural Gas, Petrochemical Industries and other allied industries are expected to be the first beneficiary.
In a statement made available to journalists through email, in Akure, the Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress in Ondo State, Omo'ba Abayomi Adesanya decried the present state of the University. “No sooner had the founding father left office than the institution started going down”. The administration of Dr. Olusegun Mimiko who took over government after the inauguration of the institution snubbed it. A University is a universal institution that should primarily serve as a center for learning, research and community development. Unfortunately and highly regrettable, OSUSTECH is not standing on this tripod right now. It is critically ill. Academic and administrative activities on this institution have been paralyzed. It is clear that the Mimiko led-administration is on a deliberate mission of wiping out this once lively institution and a legacy of formal governor Agagu, going by the actions and inaction of Mimiko in recent times.
For example, Mimiko planted in this institution, a Vice Chancellor in person of Prof. Tolu Odugbemi who has been acting the script of Mr. Governor in so many ways. Odugbemi on several occasions has instituted exorbitant and arbitrary increment of school fees (#125,000 for indigenous students and #175,000 for non-indigenes), payment of ICT fees without the facilities, neglect of the University and non-payment of the staff salaries, arbitrary withdrawer of money from the University account without recourse to due process, slow response to happenings and negative developments in this institution, to mention but a few. This is a rape of fundamental human right – education.
It is unimaginable that in this year's annual budget, Governor Mimiko only voted #100 million to OSUSTECH. This budget was passed by his rubber-stamped Assembly led by Hon. Jumoke Akindele who incidentally is from Okitipupa. Whereas, the newly established Medical University in Ondo, his home town “smiled” home with a largee to the tune of # 2.6 billion. There is no obvious justification for this double standard.
This recent development had its multiplier effect on the host community and the institution in so many ways. Commercial activities in and around the institution is on a standstill. Staff and students had been completely cut-off from the global and competitive world due to lack of internet facilities, functional laboratory, well-stocked libraries, relevant infrastructures such as hostels, adequate educational facility or equipment, conducive and hygienic learning environment, electricity supply and social amenities etc. As a matter of fact all activities are stalled at the institution right now, buildings are completely overgrown by weeds and building comfortable habitation for reptiles. Students now receive lectures under a nearly collapsed and dilapidated building which is not receiving any attention.

APC hereby urge Mimiko-led government to focus more on the institution by responding to its demands, work in tandem with the vision of its founding fathers and rescue it from gradually becoming a glorify secondary school.
Therefore, it is highly imperative that all well-meaning sons and daughters and leaders of Okitipupa Division rise up in unison to rescue this institution from extinction. APC call on traditional rulers and prominent groups in this area such as: Jegun of Idepe, Abodi of Ikale Land, Olugbo of Ugbo Kingdom, Zenith Club, Ikale World Congress, Ilaje Progressives Union, Omowa Club and other prominent groups and associations to challenge Governor Olusegun Mimiko and Jumoke Akindele for their deliberate attempt to moribund OSUSTECH for their newly created Medical University, Ondo, the statement reads.

UNKNOWN AILMENTS HIT EKITI COLLEGE

FROM PUNCH:
No fewer than 300 pupils of the Federal Government Girls’ College, Efon Alaaye, Ekiti State, have been hospitalised due to an outbreak of an unknown disease.
Signs of the outbreak of the disease started manifesting on October 10, when some pupils were said to have started vomiting and stooling, creating fears of a cholera outbreak.
But the state government through the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Olurotimi Ojo, has come out to dismiss it as “diarrhoea” while medical investigation has begun.
Parents and guardians are now trooping to the school to check if their children and wards are among the victims.
The Principal of the school, Mrs Grace Ogunyomi, was said to have reported the case to the state government on Wednesday for prompt action.
It was learnt that the school authorities had been taking the patients to Efon General Hospital in batches since the epidemic started.
It was gathered that Governor Ayodele Fayose had ordered the commissioner to mobilise health care workers to the school to arrest the situation.
Of the about 300 pupils said to be infected, only 31 of them were still receiving treatment while others had been treated and discharged, a source revealed on Thursday.
Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Health, Dr. Folakemi Olomojobi, who spoke on behalf of the Commissioner, confirmed that only 20 of the infected pupils were still in the hospital, adding that the ministry had brought in environmental health officials.
“We have alerted the water corporation to chlorinate their water. They have about six boreholes and we have got them chlorinated, because we knew as professionals that the water could be a source.
“We are trying to look into their environment, so that we can get where such could have broken out. We want to know how they dump their faeces and how they discharge their sewages,” she added.

PASTOR ADEBOYE ESTABLISHES THE LINK BETWEEN MATHEMATICS AND MARRIAGE

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has established a link between mathematics and marriage.

Adeboye, a mathematician turned pastor, gave couples a few tips to spice up their marriage.

At the first annual lecture of the Pastor E.A. Adeboye Professorial Chair for mathematics, held on Thursday evening at the Main Auditorium of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), the cleric, who has been married for 47-years, told the audience about four simultaneous linear equations for successful marital life.

According to the man of God, his understanding of the mathematics of marriage is what has kept his marriage strong.

Not only did Adeboye give equations, he supported each equation with relevant biblical verses.

“I told my children that why I have remained married for 47 years is because I understand the mathematics of marriage. Mathematics is a science of living,” he said.

Equation 1: This states that love is blind. It was supported with a biblical passage from Proverbs 10:12, which states that love covers a multitude of sins.
