I woke up yesterday to multiple messages in my WhatsApp Groups about jobs at an Election Comittee.
I opened the link and immediately knew it was a lie, a scam, a phishing attempt to collect information about people.
Simply put, there is no such election job opportunity out there and the malicious link that was put out is simply aimed at stealing the data of the individuals who fill it.
How the 50000 election job scam works
A lot of individuals would think – well, it is harmless to fill this form. It’s a try your luck kind of thing.
The job scam works by first collecting your data, then encouraging you to share the link over WhatsApp to your friends.
There is a little bit of using your social currency to gain traction for their scam.
They way users are tricked to share over WhatsApp is that, much like most scams of this nature, the website will say you can only complete the process by sharing.
Most individuals would therefore go ahead and share – trapping their own family and friends.
When people submit their data to the scammers, the scammers can use them to apply for benefits, which the real users might not even be aware of.
Some scammers even use this data to fill petitions supporting some ideas and campaigns the real users might not even be interested in.
How to protect yourself for scams of this nature
There is no free lunch – sadly.
If you see an opportunity online asking you to complete mostly very “easy” tasks in return for money, scrutinise it.
Also, be careful of what push notifications you accept via your browser. Always, when giving out your personal information online, make sure it is to a trusted website.
And if it has something to do with a Government agency – like elections, verify from the agency or organisation website or official social media platform first.
Conclusion
Hope this helps anyone who is looking for information as to whether the 50,000 election jobs ad they saw was true. Well, you have your answer – It is a scam perpetrated by individuals interested in stealing your personal data.
Share with your family and friends and all those groups where this fake job link has been posted at. If you are in Ghana, you can look our for genuine job sites where you can apply for positions online.
It was just in March of this year that itel Mobile released the A56, which targeted at entry-level budget users has been doing so well.
When it comes to smartphones in Africa, itel is gradually gaining grounds although their spec sheet is mostly not appealing to those who seek good performance.
The new itel S16 looks to be an upgrade over the earlier released A56, although they are not in the same series in the itel product line.

itel S16 Features
Camera
This time, itel has a triple rear camera set up comprising of an 8MP main shooter and a 2MP Macro lens with the last lens being a depth sensor.
According to itel, the camera’s will also rely on “AI” to make photos more beautiful. Here are what each lens’ main purpose is:
2MP Macro Camera: Take crisp photos up close with the new
8MP Main Camera: High-quality photos in any type of lighting
Depth Sensing Camera: Create stunning bokeh shots
The itel S16 will definitely not have the best photos on the market, but it will strive to give more at the price range of the phone.
Software, Security, Performance
Performance-wise, the itel S16 comes with the same chipset as the itel A56. Therefore if you have used the A56, you should expect the same level of performance on the S16.
What’s new with the S16 is the introduction of Android 10 (yeah, it’s Q3 2020, but Android 10 seems pretty decent for the level the market is targeting.
It is also Android Go, so unless you are trying to use very heavy apps, the 1GB Ram of the device should hold up most lite apps.
On the side of security, itel promises a face unlock – although you shouldn’t be banking your security hopes on a device under $70. There is also the finger print sensor at the rear of the device.
Battery
itel’s S16 is powered by a standard 4,000 mAh battery. With the battery management of Android Go, you should be able to use this device for much of the day without requiring a charge.
However, if you want to heavily use it, you might want to carry your charger along.

The Electoral Commission of Ghana has made it possible for all individuals who want to verify their voter’s ID to do so electronically, ahead of the December 2020 polls.
This will run alongside the offline checking of Voter’s ID details which is scheduled to end on Friday 25 September, 2020.
It is not yet known if the electronic means (SMS) will continue to run once the offline process comes to an end.
Earlier on, the Electoral Commission had rolled out a digital queue management system for the Voter Registration exercise.
How to check your Voter ID number and details in Ghana
You can use the SMS method to check and verify your Voter’s ID details in Ghana by following the steps below:
Go to compose new SMS on your phone
Go to receiver and enter 1422
Type your full Voter Registration Number in the message section (Don’t add anything else)
Click on send to send the ID to 1422
Wait for a confirmation with your Voter’s ID Details
Once the details match what is on your ID card, you are good to go
Conclusion
The cost of checking is GHS 0.30 per SMS sent. Therefore, don’t send the same ID more than once, as you will be charged multiple times.
If you find out your details are wrong, you’ll have to visit your polling centre and follow the procedure to have it resolved.
Some people have also complained that they are unable to access the service via their phones. In this case, asking a friend who has successfully check to check on your behalf works.
One thing web developers and organisations as a whole hate is to see their website taken down by hackers.
Therefore, a lot of individuals spend a lot of time and money protecting their website against hackers. This includes developers of the themes themselves.
Vulnerabilities in themes can cause websites to be hacked, so theme developers are always on the lookout to put out the best software possible.
However, when Government organisations fail to pay for themes and resort to using nulled, pirated or stolen themes, this does not only hurt developers and other tech players but also put the thousands of individuals who visit these sites in trouble and at risk of a hack.
Yawa: Ghana’s Ministry of Health Website appears to be using a nulled (stolen) version of the popular Jannah Theme, which cost only $45 or GHS 270 – when they could just have bought it.
Developers of the theme, who might be suffering from the loss of revenue from actions from organisations such as the Ministry of Health, or the developers who work for them appear to have gone “Anas style”.
The developers seem to rely on some code in the theme to check if the theme is registered and deface websites of unscrupulous individuals who want to use the theme without paying for it.
You can check out the messed up Ghana Ministry of Health site here.
As a member of the Accra WordPress Meetup group, I hope this issue is resolved fast, at least for the love of the community. However, developers, whether on WordPress or any other platform, should not be ripped off, even under the GNU General Public License v2.0 that WordPress themes and plugins are released under.
Tecno Mobile is introducing the Tecno Camon 16 series to markets in which it has operations. Tecno’s Camon 15 series was launched somewhere in March 2020 during the heavy lockdown.
It is unknown how well the Camon 15 performed in sales, although the cheaper Spark 5 seemed to have gain comparatively more grounds.
Nevertheless, Tecno and the Transsion group as a whole, is pushing forward to have their devices in the hands of more people.
Tecno’s camera focused devices, the Camon series is back – this time, with different variants at different price ranges and an almost similar design.
There are three phones in Tecno’s Camon 16 lineup. These include:
Tecno Camon 16
Tecno Camon 16 Pro and
Tecno Camon 16 Premier
Currently, only the full specs of the Tecno Camon 16 Premier has been made available. However, we do know that all the 3 smartphones will have a Quad-camera setup at the rear and a dual selfie camera setup.

Tecno Mobile has set up the camera in a way to make it an all rounder. It is not only good for general photography, but also takes above average night photos and Portraits.
The Camon 16 Premier is powered by a 4500mAh battery, an upgrade over it’s predecessor.
The phone should be able to take advantage of Android 10’s good power management system and it appears Tecno will this time look at the software side of things when it comes to power management – hello HiOS.
Also, since the phone supports 33W fast-charging, you will not have to worry about overnight charging. According to Tecno, 33W flash charge greatly cuts down the charging time – 30 minutes charging reaches to 70% power.

The Camon 16 Premier runs on the MTK G90T chipset. This is as close as a chipset can get to the flagship line in MediaTek chips.

Infinix’s Flagship Zero series is next in line this year with the apparent launch of the Infinix Zero 8. The new phone comes with a design that should appeal as both artistic and professional.
It has not been long since the budget rated Infinix Smart 5 launched, and it seems that Infinix is fast pushing the Zero 8 to appeal to all those who may not be impressed by earlier releases of the year and have more cash to spend.

Features of the Infinix Zero 8
Helio G90T processor for faster and smoother experience
This means that the Zero 8 will give a smooth user experience and you should be able to multitask on it with very visible lag.
And with the ample 8 GB of RAM onboard, you don’t have to scramble for memory at all. It definitely is Infinix’s top performance device of the year 2020.
Bigger Efficient Display to see and enjoy more
The new Infinix Zero 8 has a 6.85″ FHD screen with a dual blind hole screen. According to Infinix Mobility, the display has a brightness of up to 480 nit, and the refresh rate of 90Hz – with the ability to reach a high touch sample rate of up to 180Hz.
Pictures and videos are going to look lit on the phone and it will be great to enjoy your favourite TV series and music videos on the Zero 8’s screen.
Fast Charging on a 4500 mAh battery
The 33W Supercharge feature of the Infinix Zero 8 is impressive as it means the phone can charge quickly and you will not have to charge it overnight most of the time.
However, the 4500 mAh battery may appear as a “small” battery to a lot of people. This would be because the Smart 5, a budget phone which released earlier this year was packed with 5000 mAh battery.
However, Infinix seems to have some good software enhancements on the Infinix Zero 8 to minimise battery use. This means, which a good charge and average use, the battery should be able to last a full day.
