I want to upgrade Yoruba culture – Oluwo of Iwo



The embattled Oluwo of Iwoland, Abdulrasheed Akanbi, has said that God is using those against his lifestyle (swag) to make him popular, insisting that he has the right as a king to bear the tag ’emir’ and other kingship titles in Nigeria.
The traditional leader recently attracted a backlash when reports emanated that he had decided to bear the tag of ’emir’ rather than the established title of ‘oba’.
The monarch flayed his critics while speaking on a radio programme on Rave FM in Osogbo on Tuesday. He said by his actions, he seeks to upgrade Yoruba culture.
“How can you abandon who you are? Can you abandon king for king? Oba is our own word. I am an Oba and I will remain Oba for life. I only said I can also be referred to as an Emir. I am the Emir of Yorubaland, I am the Igwe of Yorubaland and the Obi of Yorubaland. I can bear all titles of kings. We have to upgrade and update our traditional culture, else, we will go into extinction.”
Mr Akanbi said he has started a cultural revolution which makes him wear ’emir’ regalia sometimes. “The northern traditional rulers admired my Emir regalia whenever I put it on but (I am) not getting support from Yoruba Obas and people.
“By saying that I can also be addressed as emir, I talked metaphorically. But some ‘bad-belle’ (unpleasant mannered) people are condemning me and telling lies against me. My enemies are making me known. God is using my enemies to promote me. Some people don’t like the way I add swags. I can’t help them. I want to upgrade our culture. I promote ‘ofi’ dress and emirs love my dressing.”
The monarch has been criticised by different people and groups including Yoruba Youth Movement following his adoption of the emir title last weekend.

How to Reset HP Elitebook 8460p BIOS/Administrator Password

Have you  forgotten HP Elitebook 8460p password , bios or administrator account password? How to do if both of them lost? It seems hard though there may be lots of ways that can solve it.

Part 1: Reset HP Elitebook 8460p BIOS password Part 2: HP Elitebook 8460p Administrator password recovery Part 1: How to Reset Forgotten HP Elitebook BIOS Password? Generally, there are two ways to  reset forgotten BIOS password .  One  is forcing BIOS/CMOS to reset itself to its stored defaults by removing all power from it.  The other  is to use a program to either locate or identify the password, and reveal it to you or erasing the password clearly. And the most easiest and convenient method for erasing dynamic BIOS/CMOS settings is to remove battery directly from the motherboard. However, it applies to most motherboards besides HP Elitebook BIOS. Fortunately, HP Eliteb

Ethical Hacking - TCP/IP Hijacking

TCP/IP Hijacking is when an authorized user gains access to a genuine network connection of another user. It is done in order to bypass the password authentication which is normally the start of a session. In theory, a TCP/IP connection is established as shown below − To hijack this connection, there are two possibilities − Find the seq which is a number that increases by 1, but there is no chance to predict it. The second possibility is to use the Man-in-the-Middle attack which, in simple words, is a type of network sniffing . For sniffing, we use tools like Wireshark or Ethercap . Example An attacker monitors the data transmission over a network and discovers the IP’s of two devices that participate in a connection. When the hacker discovers the IP of one of the users, he can put down the connection of the other user by DoS attack and then resume communication by spoofing the IP of the disconnected user. Shijack In practice, one of the best TCP/IP hijack too
