Dedicated to a good blood of mine-Kessey Bernard.

It came as a surprise to many users of the instant messaging app whatsapp when it released an update with a feature that makes it possible for users to share their whatsapp information on Facebook. Whatsapp was sold to the social media titan-Facebook in 2014 for 19 billion dollars and has since then seen dramatic updates including the end-to-end encryption, whatsapp calls among other features and its users can attest to that.

The introduction of the ‘data sharing’ feature in the current version has created a controversy as most users do not buy into the idea of sharing their information on Facebook.

With theses features not withstanding, you can still enjoy your privacy and the thrills of whatsapp because, with this update, your encrypted messages continue to stay private and no one else can read them-not even Facebook or whatsapp.

According to whatsapp, their partnership with Facebook will ensure that the basic metrics about how often people use their services could be tracked and better fight spam on whatsapp. It is also a move to get businesses and companies connected to their clients through ads.

Whatsapp however assures its cherished users that,they (whatsApp) won’t post or share their whatsapp numbers with others and won’t sell, share or give their whatsApp numbers to advertisers.They still believe in the value of private communication and are committed to giving you the fastest, simple and reliable experience on their service.

If the above seems not too convincing and you probably wish to opt out of the data sharing option,these steps can be followed. To continue using WhatsApp, you need to Read and Agree to the new terms and
conditions. Interestingly, this is where most people fall prey because those terms and conditions are usually lengthy and laborious.

Don’t worry if reading is such a herculean task for you like me..lol. Follow these simple guidelines and opt
out of data sharing.

1.WhatsApp is sending out messages to its
users about its new terms.

2.Don’t click Agree right away,scroll down to the bottom
and uncheck the part that says ‘you have
agreed to data sharing’.

As simple as that!

If you have already agreed without going through the above process, there is another way out.

1.Open WhatsApp and go to Settings.

2.Then to Account

3.Uncheck Share my account info.

YOU CAN HI ME ON YOUR NEWLY UPDATED WHATSAPP…LOL Be updated; that’s what’s up.

The Kanta attack on a god MC. 

Posted on by Standard 5

The recent beef between two of Ghana’s most celebrated lyricists -sarkodie and m.anifest, when analysed from a single angle , could make you err myopically. Why?  Because the two artists have something yet more  to prove.

Over the years , there has been a shallow lyrical war between the duo and the latest one has received a massive media hype ( from airplays to tweets and even hours it has trended on twitter ) than ever before. 

The question is whose campus did it start? Was Sark right to reply m.anifest? Was m.anifest expecting a reply? Is sark really promoting m.anifest as he(sark) purports?  These are but few question l ask myself after l had gotten the opportunity to listen to the two counter songs godMc and Kanta from m.anifest and Sarkodie respectively.
 

Some people argue that, this beef was  well structured to expand the commercial base of the two artists in question.
On the other hand, others also say that , such a beef is unhealthy and must not be allowed to develop roots in our entertainment industry.

Not being biased here, Sarkodie’s kanta was nothing but serious Counter_attack on m.anifest coupled with emotions which is evident from kanta lyrics.
Sark’s use of Gtp , woodin , Afrocentric (hehehe…surprisingly, this can even win m.anifest more contracts) in some of his lines clearly depicts how emotional he was as of the time he was recording the kanta song.

M.anifest argues that sark belittled him as he (sark) mentioned his(m.anifest) name in vain.”m.anifest..leme use your do do do ti do to end this verse” Sark too believed that the mere mention of ‘manifest’ was to give him a milage and this sparked a controversy and hence the inedible beef!

I may not know whose camp you are but I’m only dreaming of a day when our entertainment industry would be full of vegetarians. Sounds weird huh? I mean they wouldn’t give beef a chance.
