We all love taking selfies as there are so many beautiful moments to capture and so many angles to explore just to show that pretty and handsome face – however, as engaging and fun as selfies can be, there can be a lot of pressure in trying to get the perfect shot. With the plethora of smartphones penetrating the mobile market in recent times, getting the perfect device for an excellent selfie can seem a daunting task.

Africa’s mobile giant, TECNO mobile, always in the business of providing efficient mobile solutions to users, saw the need for an exceptional smartphone with higher front camera mega-pixel, and unveiled to the delight of its users, the CAMON X Pro –a smartphone with 24MP selfie camera.

It didn’t stop with the unveiling of this premium smartphone, TECNO decided to allow its users experience a majestic feel with selfies through its recently concluded CAMON selfie king and queen contest. Here is how it all went down:

Like every competition, there was a call for entries to selfie lovers all across the country to take a creative selfie and post the picture online.  At the end of the contest, two people (one male and a female) emerged as final winners through a vote that was conducted on TECNO Facebook page.

And the Winners are….

Osho Ayodele James (Camon X Selfie King) and Tolu Adebola-Stephen (Camon X Selfie Queen).

With TECNO, there is always something great for its winners. The CAMON X selfie King and Queen were treated to a 2-day photo-shoot where they will models for CAMON X smartphone as well as other TECNO advertising content, both online and offline.

Curious how they won the title of the Camon X Selfie King & Queen?

After a period of 4 weeks of receiving several entries of beautiful selfie pictures, 10 best and most creative selfie were selected each week by TECNO’s panel of judges.

At the end of the 4^th week, all selected 40 selfie images were made into a GIF and people were asked to vote their favorite Selfie King and Queen. The voting lasted for a period of 1 week (11^th May to 17^TH May), after which the winners emerged.

All the great details about CAMON X Pro

The CAMON X debuts a 24MP front and 16MP rear camera with an increased image definition of 30% over that of the CAMON CX to ensure that images are clear and sharp. It dons a 6-inch FHD screen with 2.5D corning third glass, industry leading 18:9 full view screen, 64GB ROM, 4GB RAM and superfast face recognition technology.

TECNO’s consistent effort to deliver the best smartphones with the latest camera technology is quite admirable. The brand keeps raising the bar in smartphone photography and their users are not left out in experiencing the superior smartphone experience.

The children then produced pancakes, chocolate cakes and doughnuts, and banana smoothies to the amazement of their parents. There was also a masterclass for mums to highlight the nutritional benefits of adding milk to their children’s daily foods.

Rounding off, Maureen Ifada, Marketing Manager, Peak, reiterated that the Peak brand is synonymous with quality and high standards, and so always goes a step further in providing the best nutrition required for daily living.

As parts of the company’s goals to encourage an active lifestyle from an early age, the children were given the opportunity to participate in outdoor games and perform the drink-move-be-strong exercise routine.

While the benefits of purchasing vehicles online are undeniable, there are still certain drawbacks that need to be taken into serious consideration. Read through our article to learn both the pros and cons of hunting your next ride on the internet.

Pros of seeking Nigeria cars for sale online

1. Browsing cars for sale online means saving time & money

Cons of seeking Nigeria cars for sale online

You might not allowed to test drive that vehicle

While buying automobiles online comes with obvious benefits, it still suffers certain drawbacks. One of the biggest minuses is that you won’t be allowed to have a test drive. Testing a car before buying is undoubtedly important but unfortunately, you might not get a chance to do so in most cases.

Shipping fee is a thing to consider when searching Nigeria car for sale online

It is important to remember that the price quoted on the listing might be cheaper than the actual amount of money you pay in the end since sellers mostly exclude some hidden fees for shipping, taxes, etc. Bear this in mind to set out a proper budget plan on how much of a car you can afford.

Seeking Nigeria cars for sale online: Verdict

A peculiar thing about us as Africans is our passion. It shows in literally everything we do; our dance, our talk, and of course our football. The beautiful thing is that we are not afraid or shy to express, indulge and enjoy our passion. Perhaps that is why the GLO ‘Indulge Your Passion’ ad hits home.

Set to connect with the world cup season, the ad shows us what we love most about our dance, our energetic moves and most of all our facial expression when we dance.

In our facial expression, you can almost see tales of our history, our joy and passion. Perhaps that is what makes African dance beautiful and interesting to watch. It’s always an all or nothing situation, you either pour it all out on the dance floor or you don’t. You either go big or you go home

Just when we think we’ve had enough, the ad by creative powerhouse, SO&U Limited, draws a connection between our dance and our football. It easily wins hearts.

The connection was well woven because like on the dance floor, when we are on the field, we pour it all out, we succumb to our fear and passion.

In spite of our loses, we don’t back out, perhaps because we don’t know how to. Though we have never won a world cup, we come out every season, and play with so much energy and passion.

It takes great insight to see and draw such a connection especially when we didn’t even think there was one, but to capture the heat, passion and energy that we are about takes hard work and dedication.

To see SO&U do this for GLO is an indication that they invest in finding creative solutions that resonate with target audiences.

Watch the GLO Commercial by SO&U

Here are some beautiful screen clips from the commercial

Funny right? But that’s the reality we live in today. According to study, we now spend more time on our smartphones than with our human partners.

The average smartphone user tends to spend more than two hours (119 minutes) a day using their gadget.

Also, according to another research that was carried out, it was discovered that the amount of time we spend with our other halves per day is between 90-100 minutes per day, which is three times lesser than the times we spend with our smartphones.

Why have our smartphones become so important to us?

These days we really can not go a day without them, they have become so useful to our day to day activities that we feel some sort of tension when they are not close to us. We use our smartphones for a lot of things which includes making calls, surfing the internet, taking pictures, watching movies, listening to music, reading, scanning etc. These basic things are what we usually do on a normal day. With the help of some mobile applications, these things are seamlessly done with just a four squared gadget called the smartphone.

Some smartphones are frustrating while some are just what you need
Since you spend so much time with this tool and they in-turn, have taken a very important aspect of your heart, why not spend it with the one that would give you the best of everything you desire?

Smartphones come in different shapes, sizes and off course brands. Some have lived up to its billing why some are still struggling to be on their feet.

Notably, TECNO Mobile which has grown to become the biggest smartphone brand in Africa, has constantly dished out smartphone devices that seamlessly make the lives of its users easy.

With the recent launch of another smartphone from its stable, the TECNO SPARK 2 is a smartphone that is worth making a life partner as the device comes loaded with everything and anything any smartphone user would desire.

What’s so special about the TECNO SPARK 2

The TECNO SPARK 2 is not just your regular smartphone, the device flaunts a 6-inch full HD screen display which is just accurate for viewing photos, watching videos and gaming. The 6-inch display is embraced into a slim body of 5.7mm (visual thickness) making the device comfortable to hold.
The camera on the device offers a brighter camera more than any smartphone right now. The device takes excellent photos even in low light conditions with its 8MP Front + 13MP Rear Bright Camera. The F/2.0 wide aperture enables more light to pass through the camera lens, thereby making selfie pictures clear even in low light conditions.

The storage capacity is just right for storing what you would want to store. It comes with a 16GB ROM and 2GB RAM. The device keeps your details totally safe, with its improved facial recognition security feature. These are just some of the few amazing features that the TECNO SPARK 2 flaunts.

TECNO‘s SPARK 2 which has been taunted by several notable tech analysts as the smartphone with the brightest camera, comes fully loaded with several new and improved features, which has gone on to reemphasise the brand’s stance as regards creating high end phones with sophisticated cameras.

The SPARK series which was introduced into the market last year has since become popular and well received over time by tech consumers due to the nature of its really bright camera functionality.

Last year’s version of the SPARK which came in two versions by the way (SPARK and SPARK Plus) where the industry favourites as users continually poured praises on TECNO for launching a really affordable device with top-of-the-line camera features. And it’s no surprise that TECNO has found a unique way to improve on its camera yet again with the SPARK 2- setting a new benchmark for its competitors.

On security? The new SPARK 2 is not a slouch

Ease of access on every technological device has always been an issue as unauthorized people seamlessly have access to your information. Smartphone makers have over the years done all in their power to tighten the security features on devices and TECNO seems to be getting successful on each of their releases.

First it was the CAMON X and X Pro and now the new TECNO SPARK. With the new TECNO SPARK 2, users do not have to worry about someone accessing their device without their permission.

Upon the review the SPARK 2, it comes with a Facial recognition system that grasps face information at 700ms recognition rate, way faster than fingerprint identification that has been adopted as the norm by other smartphone brands as a security measure for consumers.

Also, alongside the face unlock feature, the new SPARK 2 comes with security photos albums to double the insurance in photo album, you can put private photos into it will not be available for friends or family to see.

This is irrefutably an improvement from the conventional smartphone security as it also comes with other security feature that are tested and trusted.

Oye AKD Of 360nobs Wins Big At The 2018 Marketing Edge Awards

“Last week Friday, I was so elated to have won the Digital Entertainment Innovator of the Year award in #Marketingedge’s 2018 awards,” says Oye Akideinde, a co-founder of 360nobs, after receiving the award.

Mr Akideinde, who also doubles as the Regional Director, West Africa at Transsnet Music Limited (Boomplay Music), added: “The award meant so much to me and was definitely larger than me. I couldn’t have won it without the support of my family, colleagues, friends and industry stakeholders.”

“The moment was about visibility and about representation. What and who is seen in the media defines our perception of Nigeria and the world around us. My aim has always been to impact humanity positively through innovation and ensure that Nigeria stops being seen as a consumer but as an innovator. Innovation is one of the strongest agents that help move a nation and humanity ahead.”

“It got me thinking about how we can position Nigeria and Africa firmly on the Global innovation map. Most innovations that work so well in other continents never seem to be suited to solving Africa’s problems – from poverty to corruption to poor infrastructure. Our best hope really lies within us – the African innovators. I have seen a lot of indigenous innovations perform better than their Western offerings. The answer is simple – Our understanding of the local market and the problem help us to innovate better solutions – at a cheaper cost too. We simply need help from big corporations and investors to fund our initiatives and executions. Thankfully, knowledge in tech advancements, lower costs of tech and data penetration have helped to overcome some of our financial MVP needs and understand how to deliver low-cost solutions.”

“Africa is seen as the last untapped market for opportunities. I simply urge us to not just tap these opportunities but to innovate what can improve our well-being and solve our “quick-sand” problems. Once we achieve these, the opportunities will be endless in Africa in all sectors from Fintech to Entertainment to Tech to Agriculture to Education. Then can we start being true entrepreneurs who identify the opportunities in great innovations and create more opportunities, add values and keep the value improving over a period of time.”

“Let’s start actualising our light bulbs everyone.”

Google today hosted its second Google for Nigeria event where it made a number of big announcements aimed at helping more people in Nigeria, and across Africa, benefit from the opportunities the web has to offer.

In a bid to make the internet more easily accessible to people in Nigeria, Google is launching Google Station for Nigeria: a program to provide high quality, high-speed Wi-Fi hotspots in partnership with 21st Century, one of the largest fibre network providers in Nigeria.

“Google Station will be rolling out in 200 locations in five cities across Nigeria by the end of 2019, bringing Wi-Fi to millions of people,” says Google Nigeria Country Director, Juliet Ehimuan-Chiazor. “Sites include markets, transport hubs, shopping malls, universities, and more. Nigeria is the fifth country to get Google Station, after India, Indonesia, Thailand and Mexico.”

Google is also making search more powerful for ordinary Africans. Job search launched in March in South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya, and is now rolling out in 29 new countries. In Nigeria, Google is launching a search experience that allows users to explore health conditions based on symptoms, as well as recipe search for anyone who needs a little food inspiration.

StreetView’s Discover Nigeria gallery has been expanded to include more of Nigeria’s wonders including the National Museum in Lagos, Olumo Rock in Abeokuta, Millenium Park in Abuja, and Lekki Conservation Centre.

Additionally, Google announced the update of several products from its “Go” initiative, which were launched in the past year. The Go product suite aims to give people with low bandwidth connections and low-RAM devices the best possible Google experience. These new features include:

• Google Go: will soon read web pages out loud and highlight each word so users can follow along.

• YouTube Go: users will be able to browse downloaded YouTube Go videos, saved as .yt files, right from the gallery on their phones.

• Google Maps Go: will now provide users with turn-by-turn directions, whether they’re travelling by car, by bus or on foot.

• Android Go: Launched in Nigeria and 29 other African countries earlier this year, the Go OS gives people coming online for the first time a powerful and reliable smartphone experience. Across Africa, Transsion, Nokia, Huawei, and Mobicel have launched various devices, starting at just over 17,000 Naira.

Over 2.5 million of the 10 million Africans Google promised to train by 2022 have been trained through the Digital Skills Programme. Google has trained a further 9,000 Africans in mobile app development and Google’s Launchpad Accelerator Africa initiative graduated 12 promising startups from across the continent in June.

The application process of the ongoing Google Impact Challenge, part of Google’s $20m Google.org commitment to Africa over the next five years, closed with over 5,500 entries. The process of selecting the 36 finalists has begun.

“We are offering new solutions to improve and expand access in Nigeria and across Africa; these launches demonstrate our commitment to Africa through products built to help people in Africa to make the most of the Internet,” concludes Ehimuan-Chiazor.
