Nigeria stands at a pivotal junction where it can transform the inherent complexities of the oil and gas industry into massive opportunities for national development.

Watchdog and death row metaphor by Segun Adediran - Commentary@ITREALMS

The architecture of death row is not built of stone and steel, but of stagnant time. To be on death row is to live in the dead, yet living; you are a ghost inhabiting a body that the state has already marked as a tragic clerical error. It is the only place on Earth where the future is not a mystery, but a fixed point on a calendar; a Tuesday at dawn or a Thursday at midnight, creeping toward you with the silent, rhythmic inevitability of a tide. On the row, the world shrinks to the size of a postage stamp, a paradox of hope where the cruelty lies not just in the isolation, but in the litigation of that hope.

Globally, journalism, society’s watchdog, finds itself on this metaphorical death row. As the predatory rise of Generative AI (GAI) and Big Tech intensifies, newsrooms are navigating the architecture of "Media Death Row." Through hyper-personalized, AI-driven silos, tech firms have built a multi-billion-dollar industry on a foundation of mass copyright infringement. They treat the life’s work of journalists as raw material, scraped without permission, processed without payment, and condemned to death without trial.

In this edition of Telecoms Clinic@ITREALMS, REMMY NWEKE deconstructs the National Information Technology Development Agency’s (NITDA) digital trustmark guide, offering Nigerian SMEs a strategic roadmap to secure legitimacy and unlock global competitive advantages in 2026.

Buyers beware environment:

The digital marketplace in Nigeria is currently undergoing a radical transformation, moving from a "buyer beware" environment to a verified ecosystem of accountability. For the average Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) operating out of a hub in Yaba or a market in Onitsha, the greatest barrier to scaling has never been just capital, it has been the "Trust Deficit."

Global and local consumers alike often hesitate to click the "Pay Now" button on Nigerian platforms due to a historical hangover of cyber-scams and identity theft. To cure this ailment, the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), in collaboration with the Nigerian Data Protection Commission (NDPC) and international partners like GIZ, recently introduced the Nigerian Digital Trustmark Seal.

The Digital Surveillance Confession - Editorial@ITREALMS

Editorial@ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

The airwaves crackled with a chilling nonchalance on Friday, February 13, 2026, as former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, admitted on Arise News to a high-level breach of privacy that strikes at the heart of the Nigerian state.

By claiming to have "listened in" on the private conversations of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, El-Rufai did more than just settle a political score following his airport confrontation; he handed over what presidency officials have rightly termed a "confession of wiretapping."

From digital hostages to digital sovereigns: The Resilio shield by REMMY NWEKE - WeekendDigits@ITREALMS

WeekendDigits@ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

WeekendDigits@ITREALMS with REMMY NWEKE probes the debut of Resilio Africa; a $2.5 million tactical shield forged by the CyberSafe Foundation and Google.org. As cyber-aggression across the continent reaches a fever pitch, this high-stakes intervention moves to pull 15 million public records out of the line of fire, transforming Africa’s most vulnerable community institutions from digital hostages into digital sovereigns.

The rise of a digital bulwark:
In a small community clinic on the outskirts of Lagos, a midwife reaches for a tablet to check a mother’s blood type. Instead of a medical history, she is met with a cryptic demand for Bitcoin. This is the front line of Africa’s new war. 

While the world watches high-tech bank heists, the continent's social fabric is being quietly unraveled through its schools and hospitals. 

The "click" of a malicious link in a rural administrative office is no longer a localized error; it is the opening of a gate to a digital "Achilles Heel" that threatens the stability of entire nations.
