In a shocking turn of events, Hilda Baci and her friend Eniola have sparked controversy after posting a video on Friday morning showing them consuming a dog delicacy. The video quickly gained attention on Twitter, leaving many viewers distressed and choosing to scroll past it.
The outrage and anger sparked by this stunt were immediate, as numerous people found the video highly offensive. The close resemblance of dogs’ behavior to humans, coupled with their status as loyal companions, led many to express their disapproval. Concerns are now rising about the potential repercussions this incident may have on Hilda Baci’s brand.
It is possible that this dog-eating video could harm her reputation and impact future opportunities. Foreign embassies may refuse her a visa, and she may encounter difficulties in securing positions with foreign food companies. Animal cruelty is a significant concern globally, and making light of such issues can have severe consequences.
In the past, football player Zouma from West Ham made headlines for kicking his cat. The public outrage that followed was extraordinary, with fans even calling for his expulsion from the club. Considering this response, one can only imagine the backlash Hilda Baci may face for killing and eating a dog in front of a camera.
Previously, I had emphasized the importance of Hilda having a competent management company to handle her career once her cooking fame subsides. Unfortunately, it appears that she did not heed this advice. While her unconventional approach to gaining attention may have been innovative, effectively managing her newfound fame and leveraging it for her benefit requires the guidance of a skilled brand manager.
The dog-eating video is not only distasteful but also an expensive stunt that leaves a repulsive impression on viewers. Moving forward, it is crucial for Hilda Baci to make better decisions and actions that align with public sentiment.
The consequences of her actions could extend far beyond public perception, affecting her future prospects and professional opportunities. It is hoped that she learns from this experience and takes steps to rectify the damage caused.

Recently the new adminstration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu did the unthinkable! He did what others have failed or scared to do which is yank off the fuel subsidy! Though the organised labour are braving up for a showdown from Wednesday but the subsidy must be removed argued the economists.
Just thinking of this fuel issue and it’s attendants issue! Well it is unfortunate that Nigeria is an abberation! The only country that is a crude oil producer without a functional refinery! Also it is the only country that is OPEC member that imports refined products and has high cost of fuel unlike other OPEC countries!
To me,That is the cost of ineptitude foe years from Obasanjo to Jonathan (that one is the worst of the all) never seen a weakling like him! Coming from oil producing region yet couldn’t even build a single refinery! Then Buhari came to down with all whatnots though some sections of the country warned! The subsidy has been removed with some against and while few are for but the Labour will strike on Wednesday! So they said !
But wait a minute, this fuel issue will make us re evaluate our movement! You will park car and use public transport! If your kids school are far, You bring it nearer to reduce logistic cost! If your office is far you do something about it and make it nearer or work from home! If your mosque or church is far, try make it nearer ,God is everywhere …this is to reduce logistic cost! Remember that fuel was increased but not salaries .
Now are you a businessman,you must know that customers will not come to market anyhow these days! You must invest in online and virtual presence ,this is where MENXTT TECHNOLOGIES comes to help SMEs like you to get a marketshare! If you run a school, also try eLearning solutions for kids during holidays cos parents can’t be spending lots to send their kids to school .
Are you into religion or church ! You must start investing in video streaming and internet! Since COVID 19 church attendance has reduced and in places like Eastern Nigeria people are leaving churches just like Europe.You must take the gospel to people as Jesus Christ mandated us and you can do this by investing heaving in online presence and internet! Bro Ebuka Obi is doing fantastic here…lord bless his soul ! This isn’t the time you will seat and wait for workers ! You must recruit hands and pay consultants to handle your PR and virtual presence, talk with MENXTT TECHNOLOGIES here..they even have a church management software also
Now this is the time to start thinking! Charles Darwin in his theory of survival of fittest made it know in clear terms that the organism that fails to adapt will die off! Will you adapt or die off? Think of this !
Kaspersky (www.Kaspersky.co.za) researchers have uncovered (https://apo-opa.info/3oBaJ9D) an ongoing mobile Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) campaign targeting iOS devices with previously unknown malware. Dubbed as ‘Operation Triangulation’, the campaign distributes zero-click exploits via iMessage to run malware gaining complete control over the device and user data, with the final goal to hiddenly spy on users.
Kaspersky experts have uncovered (https://apo-opa.info/3oBaJ9D) a new mobile APT campaign while monitoring the network traffic of its corporate Wi-Fi network using the Kaspersky Unified Monitoring and Analysis Platform (KUMA). Upon further analysis, company researchers discovered the threat actor has been targeting iOS devices of dozens of company employees.
The investigation of the attack technique is still ongoing, but so far Kaspersky researchers were able to identify the general infection sequence. The victim received a message via iMessage with an attachment containing a zero-click exploit. Without any further interaction, the message triggered a vulnerability that led to code execution for privilege escalation and provided full control over the infected device. Once the attacker successfully established its presence in the device, the message was automatically deleted.
Further, the spyware quietly transmitted private information to remote servers: including microphone recordings, photos from instant messengers, geolocation and data about a number of other activities of the owner of the infected device.
As APT actors are constantly evolving their tactics and searching for new weaknesses to exploit, businesses must prioritise security of their systems
During the analysis, it was confirmed that there was no impact on the company’s products, technologies and services, and no Kaspersky customer user data or critical company processes were affected. The attackers could only access data stored on the infected devices. Although not certain, it is believed that the attack was not targeted specifically at Kaspersky – the company’s just first to discover it. The following days will likely bring more clarity about the global exposure of this cyberattack.
“When it comes to cybersecurity, even the most secure operating systems can be compromised. As APT actors are constantly evolving their tactics and searching for new weaknesses to exploit, businesses must prioritise security of their systems. This involves prioritising employee education and awareness, and providing them with the latest threat intelligence and tools to effectively recognise and defend against potential threats,” commented Igor Kuznetsov, head of the EEMEA unit at Kaspersky Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT). “Our investigation of the Triangulation operation continues. We expect further details on it to be shared soon, as there can be targets of this spy operation outside Kaspersky.”

To check if your iOS device is infected or not, follow instructions on Securelist. (https://apo-opa.info/3oBaJ9D)
In order to avoid falling victim to a targeted attack by a known or unknown threat actor, Kaspersky researchers recommend implementing the following measures:
For endpoint level detection, investigation, and timely remediation of incidents, use a reliable security solution for businesses, like Kaspersky Unified Monitoring and Analysis Platform (KUMA).
Update Microsoft Windows OS and other third-party software as soon as possible and do so regularly
Provide your SOC team with access to the latest threat intelligence (TI). Kaspersky Threat Intelligence (https://apo-opa.info/43V1DnQ) is a single point of access for the company’s TI, providing it with cyberattack data and insights gathered by Kaspersky spanning over 20 years.
Upskill your cybersecurity team to tackle the latest targeted threats with Kaspersky online training (https://apo-opa.info/45J0iRN) developed by GReAT experts.
As many targeted attacks start with phishing or other social engineering techniques, introduce security awareness training and teach practical skills to your team – for example, through the Kaspersky Automated Security Awareness Platform (https://apo-opa.info/3X1m0wN)
Coure has always been an IT firm for years. How has the journey been?
COURE Software & Systems Limited (“COURE”) is a Platform Services Provider with a focus on the provision of accurate, secure and relevant data to improve its clients’ business processes and operations. We started out in the US in 1998 at a time when the internet and modern technology, as we know it, were taking off. At that time, we were focused on networking and physical systems integration. Over the years, the shifts in technology and the need to be scalable beyond billing for individual man hours caused us to migrate our technology services first to web and application development, then to what we currently provide today, which are platforms that leverage standardized and aggregated data to enable and enhance the operational efficiency of our clients.
It has been an exciting 25-year journey of change and transformation! Our flagship solutions, ANQ and HUB, have been enabling the telecom, fintech, banking and various other sectors to increase their value and service provision to their customers. Our development teams consist of analysts, UI/UX experts, programmers, product managers and network engineers all of whom have many years of experience in the design, development and support of clean, functional and aesthetically appealing applications and solutions.
Do you think that the Nigerian IT space is evolving in terms of digitization?
The IT space is constantly evolving with the advancement of digital technology such as cloud computing, AI, IoT, blockchain, etc. Nigeria has not been left out of this. The trend towards digital transformation, automation and artificial intelligence is accelerating, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the past, there were a lot of manual processes in business, and while automation was being implemented via IT, the pace was average. The pandemic accelerated digitization in Nigeria and across the world as businesses and people had to survive without close contact. Many businesses were forced to shut down. For those that were better prepared, their adoption of digital technology and new ways of working became an advantage, and customers embraced online and digital service delivery. The IT industry continues to develop innovative solutions to make life easier for people and to help businesses harness the power of digital technology to improve operations, products, services, and customer reach.
Can you consider yourself as a fintech firm?
COURE is a platform services provider with key partners in the telco, financial, and technology space. Through our platforms, we are able to aggregate various types of data, analyze the data, and create services that provide value to these organizations and generate revenue for them. This makes us an enabler of fintech firms as opposed to being one ourselves.
Tell us more about your ANQ Platform?

Are they only for banks and fintechs?
Our solutions cater to a cross-section of organizations that provide services to end customers. This includes banks, fintechs, lenders, payment services companies, telco service providers, retailers and value-added service providers. Fraud can affect any organization that deals with sensitive data or valuable assets. Many businesses outside of the financial sector invest in fraud prevention solutions to protect themselves against financial losses, maintain customer trust, and avoid legal and financial penalties. The same applies to KYC, Routing and Communication. These are all services that are relevant for organizations that provide services to end consumers.
Your Hub Platform is one of a kind. Do you think that SMEs can deploy it? If yes, how?
Our HUB platform is what is called a CPaaS – Communication Platform as a Service. It enables Aggregators and VAS providers in the telecom industry integrate with the Telcos, then safely and accurately deliver messages between the applications through the Telcos and onward to the end customer and back. Message types include Bulk SMS, USSD, Whatsapp and RCS (Rich Communication Services). It also addresses a number of industry issues and concerns such as the management of Sender ID’s and Short codes.
HUB is a ready-to-use platform for SMEs to create and manage their services, content, and subscriptions. The platform allows for hosting, management, and delivery of VAS services to Aggregators or Operators on behalf of the Service Provider. HUB was specifically built to address some of our local and African peculiarities. It is easy to use for SME’s as there is no local installation required, and for most of the services, the client can login via our web interface to enable management and delivery of their services. In the event the client already has a local system that they want to integrate into HUB, we have API’s which they can leverage to be up and running in a short time. HUB enables them to integrate once and have access to all the Telcos and multiple aggregators based on their preference thus simplifying their onboarding process. HUB’s messaging capabilities such as Whatsapp and RCS, help SMEs build better relationships with their customers, improve customer experience, reduce customer support calls, and improve communication security. They can also benefit greatly from using bulk SMS and USSD services as part of their marketing and communication strategies. These services offer a cost-effective and efficient way to engage with customers, provide information, and increase sales.
What are the challenges you face in Nigeria?
Given the insecurity challenges and the economic hardship in the country, we have witnessed the loss of talent across many sectors of the economy including the technology sector. This has made it paramount that we adopt an aggressive recruitment and talent retention strategy in a bid to forestall the negative impacts of this trend affecting our business.
“HUB was specifically built to address some of our local and African peculiarities. HUB is very easy to use for SME’s as there is no local installation required and for most of the services, the clients can login via our web interface to enable management and delivery of their services.”
Do you have a presence in other ECOWAS countries?
Our routing service is present in most African countries including Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Côte D’Ivoire, Benin, Senegal, Tunisia, Morocco, and Egypt. Our 2023 roll-out plan includes expansion to key regions within the continent with a focus on Ghana, Uganda and South Africa.
How do you do your Data Monetization?
COURE partners with data owners in the telco, banking and payment service sectors to aggregate and centralize data that can be analyzed to extract intelligent insights, and in an automated and real-time manner, provide those insights to service providers for decision-making. This offers data owners the opportunity to monetize their data which would otherwise sit idle. It also enables users to gain secure access to their data across different service providers, making it easier for them to use third-party applications which require these data. This presents a mutually beneficial business relationship between COURE, a proven platform provider, data owners, and end customers. In providing these analytics, COURE is careful to adhere to global data privacy laws and security standards, being an NDPR-certified organization.
How can the Public Sector leverage your solutions?
COURE’s services and solutions are relevant for public sector use. The HUB CPaaS (Communication Platform as a Service) offers an opportunity for such organizations to improve communication with citizens, enhance security, streamline billing, provide real-time transaction notifications, and gain valuable insights through data analytics. The service is currently used by a number of public sector entities including the CBN. Our fraud prevention solutions can also help public sector entities protect against fraud and cyber threats. This is especially important when handling sensitive information, such as personal data or financial information.
What do we expect from you this 2023?
This year 2023, COURE will be commemorating its 25th year of existence. This is a remarkable milestone for us and represents a pivotal point in our journey. We will also be expanding our services to other countries on the continent as well as adding a 3rd platform to our suite, the OpenBanking platform. The OpenBanking platform offers financial data owners the opportunity to monetize their data by making it available to third-party financial services securely and efficiently via APIs, and in alignment with the CBN’s Open Banking Initiative. We have already partnered with some banks to pilot the solution and are excited about the ease and convenience that customers will enjoy when they use applications that leverage these APIs. Needless to say, we expect great times ahead!
