Posted by chijioke zion When the Honorable Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, in Washington during a discussion on the importance of addressing infrastructure gaps in developing countries at the World Bank accused the western powers of being a stumbling block to Nigeria’s plan to improve power output through the use of coal, many took the statement on its face value. Adeosun had insisted that improving power supply was the corner-stone of the current administration’s goal towards economic development, yet finds it difficult to get support from the western community. When a deeper dive into the deconstruction of the weight of the conscious economic underdevelopment of Africa perpetrated by some external forces, with Nigeria fully caught in the web is x-rayed, only more pain would be felt in the game plan of the heart-wrecking mastermind of some international conspirators. The weight of our challenges and the complexity of the consequential stress across sectors today, c...

This season could hold a record as the one with the highest number of Facebook launched products. Right from launching a new data center, to the Messenger Lite app, to the events app and now, Facebook has launched a platform simply known as “Workplace” and is available to companies of any size. The service works like the regular Facebook, but instead of interacting with a network of friends and family, Workplace users interact with a network of co-workers. The only difference between this and previous launched platforms and products is that Workplace is a paid to use platform. Yes, you have to pay. Facebook launches Workplace, platform that let’s to interact with co-workers ONLY CHECKOUT THE PRICING MODEL BELOW… *Competitive Pricing.

In Nigeria, there would be pieces in different pots by now! Lol. Images taken on Muizenberg beach, Cape Town, show a group of fishermen struggling to release a huge shark - the Bronze Whaler, into the sea. The potentially deadly predator which measured a huge eight-foot-long and weighed approximately 500 pounds, was caught up in a traditional seine net and they wanted to release it back into the sea. With a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth, the giant beast tried lunging its mouth towards the fishermen, who stood strong and continued pulling it back into the sea. After the tussle, they eventually succeeded. Continue to see more photos. South Africa is home to more than 90 species of shark,  including the Great White

Google’s Project Fi on Tuesday introduced a group planthat makes it easier to manage multiple users (and cheaper, too). Project Fi’s new offering allows for up to six people on a single account. Each line starts at $15 per month for unlimited talk and text (down from $20) and just like with individual plans, buckets of data are available for $10 per 1GB. As always, if you don’t use all of your data in a given month, the difference will be refunded on your next bill. Google is quick to point out that the group plan isn’t strictly for families meaning you can just as easily invite friends to join as well. Members are free to join or leave a plan as they see fit without having to worry about contracts or early termination fees. If you are using a group plan for your family, the account manager can view the data usage of each member and even set data allowances to keep users (kids) from going overboard. Data usage is even broken down on a per-app basis so you can see exactly which apps a...

One of the main advantages of owning a Nexus device is the vanilla Android experience — that is, you don’t have to deal with bloatware, unnecessary skins and you’ll know your device will be supported with timely updates. Google’s new Pixel and Pixel XL should continue that tradition, but with Verizon as the exclusive carrier in the US, there’s been some confusion about what that’ll mean in terms of updates, especially following news that Google has relinquished controlof delivering Android software updates to Pixel phones sold by the carrier. Any Nexus user who purchased a device from Verizon knows that the carrier isn’t known for offering speedy Android upgrades. But according to a statement to Ars  Technica, that’s all going to change with the Pixel and Pixel XL. The carrier claims that all operating system and security updates will be delivered simultaneously to all Pixel devices, “much like iOS updates” whether you bought it at Verizon or directly through Google. “Verizon...

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has suspended all the banks, with the exception of First Bank, from selling dollar proceeds of International Money Transfer Services, (IMTS) to Bureau De Change, BDCs till further notice. The suspension came as a result of none compliance to the directive CBN had given to banks two months ago to sell proceeds of their international money transfer services to BDCs. This was in a bid to address the steady and continuous depreciation of the naira in the parallel market of which they ignored, preferring to do brisk business with the proceeds. This, however generated several complaints from the BDCs, with the Association of Bureaux De change Operators of Nigeria, ABCON, calling for a review of the policy measure. According to reports, CBN, after due investigation, which revealed that most of them were either not complying or short-changing DBCs by selling at higher margin, except First Bank, which has been allowed to continue with the business, had decid...
