While the country successfully dealt with the past insecurity challenges conventionally, the government has failed to contain the new insecurity and crime challenges, especially that of the well-known Boko Haram lingering for over a decade now. This is due to various reasons, mainly the use of the same outdated, futile strategy. Several researchers have proposed numerous ways of tackling such insecurity challenges, mostly via a conventional approach; however, very few researchers proposed a more technological approach towards combating the insecurity challenges. In this paper, we discussed some modern technologies and how they can be applied to fight the new insecurities and crimes in Nigeria. We proposed the use of a Central Database as a backbone model serving as a central point of reference for all law enforcement agencies. Various modern technologies such as Facial recognition surveillance, Automatic p...

This computing paradigm supported the emergence of new learning and teaching platform called Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). MOOC is mainly delivered via the cloud and it uses the Internet to make education infinitely available to an unlimited scope of participants. This paper focuses on exploring MOOC as the success of cloud computing in education. A qualitative approach of data collection, selection and analysis were used to systematically review 149 literature for the study. The results of the study showed Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) as the major cloud service model used in education. Additionally, Coursera, edX, Udemy, Udacity and FutureLearn are the major MOOC providers using cloud services and resources to globally promote qualitative teaching and learning. Finally, the study outlined the characteristics, types, problems, and prospe...

Without a proper pro-active approach to preventing fire outbreaks, the results could be extremely disastrous when they occur. Thus, there is a need for a fast and convenient way of reporting fire incidents. The growing usage of smartphones provides a way of equipping the public with a means of reporting fire incidents to ensure prompt response and proper management of the incidents. In this paper, we analyze the manual process of reporting fire outbreaks and design an automated FEAP – a mobile application, to enable the public to quickly alert nearest fire emergency units of any possible fire incidents. We developed FEAP with the aid of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) phases and Unified Modeling Language (UML) which was used as a model to visualize the design view of the application. An Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) was used for database design and a simple Graphical User Interface (GUI) prototype of the proposed application was...
