The high rate of vehicle theft and the loss of lives occasioned by drunk driving has caused irreparable losses to people and businesses, from a personal, commercial and reputation perspective. Existing systems deployed to mitigate against vehicle theft have all been breached by the ever-adaptive criminals. Drunk driving has been estimated to be a leading cause of deaths on highways and motorways, through preventable accidents. Technology has provided the tools that can aid in mitigating the vices aforementioned with the aim of provisioning lasting solutions. This paper proposes a new architecture for adaptive user authentication in order to mitigate drunk driving and vehicle theft. It considered user authentication in three (3) phases and proposed an authentication architecture for each identified phase, with a step by step description of the implementation method and tools for each phase. The architecture proposed in this study can aid in real time prevention of vehicular theft, unauthorized vehicular access and usage, while also utilizing the benefits of the latest technologies in machine vision and alcohol breadth analyzers to detect and prevent drunk driving, and the associated accidents it causes.

E-health is the application of information technology for health care management. It includes all applications of information communication technologies to promote healthcare services support, delivery and education for improving efficiency in health care delivery to the citizens. Many factors contribute to the poor state of the medical sector of Nigeria, and in fact many developing countries, two of the most important being record keeping and accessibility. Nigeria still operates a paper based healthcare delivery system; meeting demands of citizens have been increasingly difficult due to her huge population, understaffed hospitals, apathy towards embracing ICTs and other issues. On the other hand, ICT applications have been used successfully in developed countries to address most of these problems. This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the healthcare system in Nigeria while highlighting confronting issues with a view to proposing a viable solution.
