Microsoft is shutting down Support for Windows XP and Office 2003!
Do you remember when you first used a computer. It was e-machines. Very solid system then; as were the many other tech brands that have been swept under the carpet by more vibrant product brands over the years. The still image of a lush green meadow that greeted you on th home screen after the usual Windows XP loading bars and fast forward several years later, having to upgrade to Windows Vista and so on.
Matter of fact, Vista was like a major break from the Windows norm and without entirely taking in its features, Windows 7 was launched and was good, not great. Then came Windows 8. Pure class.

Why US bullies Nigeria, but not China and Saudi Arabia - Must Read
The Igbo have a saying – popularised by
the acclaimed novelist, Chinua Achebe – that he who brings home
ant-infested faggots should not complain if he is visited by lizards.
That proverb is apt in describing the type of treatment Nigeria receives
from the Western world, led by the United States of America.
Last year, President Barack Obama made
his second “ward round” to Africa. Again, he excluded Nigeria from his
“patients’ list.” The official excuse was that Nigeria’s democracy was
not commendable. Also, since President Goodluck Jonathan signed the
anti-gay bill into law early this year, the Western world, led by the
US, has not allowed us to drink water and drop the cup, as the saying
goes. Presidential visits have been allegedly cancelled; threats of
cancellation of aids have been issued; patronising and condescending
comments have been directed at us.
