To evade traffic laws and avoid costs, motorcylists in Nigeria now wear cut calabash to decieve traffic police. Wearing a helmet whilst riding a motorbike is compulsory but most proffessional riders find it difficult to afford. Necessity, therefore, became a need for invention - albeit a dangerous one as the calabash offers no protection to the head in case of accident.

The Okada, as it is fondly called, is the most common and effective means of transport especially in the rural neighborhoods in Nigeria. Also for the millions of unemployed youths in the country, it has been a viable alternative. Prone to accidents, commercial motorcycling is banned in major cities like Abuja.

Scary stuff. An easily downloadable programme can let you tap into any mobile phone. Not only can you listen to every conversation but you can track the location of the phone owner via GPS. This is possible even when the phone is off! According to this video, the only safety is never to let your phone out of your sight.

Apple Inc has removed copy protection software from all songs bought from the itunes store. Previously songs could only be played on Apple consoles. Now you may be able to play your songs on devices other than Apple ipods.

In addition, there will be variation in prices for songs instead of the flat rate of $0.99 for all songs - even old and forgotten ones. This means less popular songs will cost less. The price plan announced were: 69 cents, 99 cents and $1.29. From April, fresh hot songs may cost the top price while barely known or less popular ones cost lesser.

Songs will now be available on the iPhone 3G via AT&T's high-speed cellular network.
