And someone says "clean conscience fears no accusations".

You can say that again. Leadership has been our age long wahala. Vested intrest, insincerity is their watchword.

There is only a failed system in the management of the country's resources!! We're really blessed with talented individuals but cursed with bad leaders. [/color]

It still does affect your battery life.

Hi Bimpe29,
As much as i would agree with you on certain features, i also disagree with you on many. I recently got myself an infinix note 4 https://www.infinixgeek.com/infinix-note-4/ and its the first time i own a phone with auto brightness. Before, it was hard to keep adjusting the brightness in cases where you're in a too bright environment but with too low brightness. I couldn't see even where to slide on the phone to unlock. But now with auto brightness on, just after pulling out my phone, all is okay and i just enjoy the sliding. Nothing like again first trying to figure out where the brightness control is. Agree?

Phil Jones says beating Chelsea in the FA Cup final would give Manchester United a huge boost as they plot to depose Manchester City as Premier League champions.

The 26-year-old England defender said victory at Wembley on Saturday would raise morale at the club before the players regroup for the start of the new campaign in August.

United finished runners-up behind Pep Guardiola’s men — a significant improvement on last season’s sixth-placed finish — but ended 19 points behind rampant City.



Last year Mourinho provided United fans with the consolation of Europa League and League Cup success — the FA Cup is the last chance this term to secure silverware after the high-profile signings of Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez.

Jones, though, remains upbeat and believes United are on the right track.

“It will be our last game of the season — if you win that, you finish on a positive note and you go into the next season feeling confident, ready to go and ready to battle again for the title,” he said.

“I really don’t think we’re far away. In another season we might have been challenging. Sometimes you’ve got to hold your hands up and say that Man City have done ever so well to win the league this year, take nothing away from them.”

Jones, who is likely to be in England’s squad for the World Cup, said experience had toughened him up so nerves will not be a problem at Wembley.

“When I was younger I used to get really nervous before games, so much so that you are almost throwing up,” said the defender, who has been with United since 2011.

“Now I am used to it, I know what to expect. It is exciting — it’s not every day you get to play in an FA Cup final.

Human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), on Tuesday asked the Federal Government to emulate the culture of obedience to court’s order exhibited by the Senate’s compliance with the court judgment which nullified the 90-day suspension imposed by the upper legislative chamber on the Delta Central Senator, Ovie Omo-Agege.

“By complying with the judgment without any conditions whatsoever the Senate has demonstrated leadership by example,” Falana said in a statement which he issued shortly after the news of the Senate’s decision to welcome Omo-Agege back to his legislative duties on Tuesday.



Falana had secured the yet-to-be-obeyed December 2, 2016 judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja which ordered the release of the leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (also known as Shi’ite), Sheik Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, and the cleric’s wife, Zeinab, from the custody of the Department of State Service.

El-Zakzaky and his wife have been detained by the DSS since December 2015.

Also, a former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki, has been in the detention of the same agency since December 2015 despite a later judgment of the Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States, ordering his release.

Falana, on Tuesday, renewed his call for the release El-Zakzaky, the cleric’s wife, and Dasuki from the custody of the DSS in obedience to court orders, urging the government to emulate the Senate.

Contrasting the attitudes of both the Federal Government and the Senate to court orders, Falana said the Red Chamber’s decision on Tuesday “is highly commendable in a country where official impunity has since been institutionalised”.

He noted that notwithstanding that “the motion for stay of execution of the judgment of the Honourable Justice Nnamdi Dimgba (of the Federal High Court in Abuja) delivered last week in the case of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege v The Senate has not been heard and determined by the Federal High Court, the Senate resolved yesterday to comply with the terms of the judgment”.

He said, “However, the Executive branch of the Federal Government is called upon to emulate the good example of the Senate by complying with all valid and subsisting judgments of all courts in Nigeria.

“In particular, the Executive should, as a matter of urgency, purge itself of contempt of court by complying with the judgment of the Federal High Court delivered on December 2, 2016 which directed that Sheik Ibraheem Elzakzaky and his wife, Hajia Zeinab Elzakzaky be released from the illegal custody of the State Security Service.

You may need to disable the following five features from a new smartphone you have just bought, according to Androidpit.com.

1, Automatic brightness and other features that affect battery life
Manufacturers offer an automatic brightness system. The smartphone detects the ambient light level and adapts its display so that it remains comfortable to read. This is a laudable idea, but the resolution is disappointing most of the time since the luminosity threshold is usually higher than you need.

Brightness means energy, and the consumption will increase, which means your battery will ultimately be paying for it. In short, turn off the automatic brightness and calibrate it yourself. You will get more battery life out of it.



The screen is the element that most affects your smartphone’s autonomy, so you have nothing to lose by taking a look at your screen options to see if something needs to be changed. This of course depends on your use and habits, but in most cases, it is useless to keep the screen on for more than a minute.

The secret is to improve battery life on any phone.

2, Useless and cumbersome bloatware
Your smartphone most likely contains at least one app that does not interest you. Whether it is a service from Google (for example, Duo), an app pre-installed by your operator, an app from the manufacturer, or a sponsored app. The number of these apps varies according to the manufacturer, but what is certain is that these apps not only take up space, but may also run in the background. In many cases, these apps can be deleted (and you are better off deleting them).

As a rule, Google apps cannot be deleted (at least not without hacking). Some apps pre-installed by manufacturers cannot be uninstalled either. So, what you have to do is simply disable them: not only will they take up less space in the system, but they also will no longer bother you. To do this, go to the Settings, find the list of apps and search to find the one you are looking for.

3, Animations and transitions
If your smartphone is not very powerful, you should do everything you can to make it run a bit more smoothly. There is one little trick that can help you on a daily basis: disabling transitions and animations. To be more specific, these are the effects you see when you switch from one screen or app to another: they can be pretty, but they are unnecessary. If you disable them, transitions will be faster.

All you have to do is simply enable developer options. Once you have done this, you will find the developer options menu and ‘Window animation scale’, ‘Transition animation scale’, and ‘Animation duration scale’. Once you have done this, you will have to reduce it (for example, to 0.5) or deactivate it.

4, Vibrations and sounds
These vibrations and sounds are intended to mimic the response of a physical button, but in practice, they are usually quite irritating. Even worse, they will impact your device’s autonomy. In short, you should ask yourself if this feature really is of value to you. If this is not the case, you should deactivate these features.

To disable these sounds and vibrations:

Go to Settings > Sound & notifications
Once you are in this menu, you can disable everything: Dial pad sounds, Screen locking sounds, Charging sounds, Touch sounds, Vibrate on touch, etc.
Please note: if the smartphone is being used by an older person who does not have a great sense of touch, it is recommended that you leave the vibration on so that they can better feel the screen.



5, Personalisation for advertisements
Of course, Google uses your private data to get to know you better, which allows it to target you with ads. By accepting Google on your phone, you accept the rules of the game: it will get information about you through its various services and apps. You cannot do much about this (unless you boycott Google), but you can decide whether apps can use your ad ID or not. If you decide to disable this option, Google won’t be able to offer you targeted ads (but they will continue to send you ads anyway).

To do this, simply go to Settings and search in the Google menu. You will then find ‘Ads’, and there, you will be able to set which apps may use your ad ID to create profiles and run custom ads. Of course, if you want to see targeted ads, it is better to leave this option enabled, but you will not prevent Google from getting information about you.

Reasons for disabling the five features

Optimisation and fluidity: We all want an ultra-fast smartphone that loads applications quickly and offers maximum battery life. Some of you will have an advantage over others (if you have a powerful smartphone), while others will have more difficulties. In both cases, it is recommended that you avoid as many problems as possible.

User experience: The experience you have with your smartphone depends on many elements, some of which can be quite subjective. Some things can be really painful on a daily basis.

Privacy and confidentiality: If these words are important to you, you know that they have been in the headlines in recent weeks. The Cambridge Analytica case has catapulted Facebook to the forefront (due to criticism of its business model and the exposure of some of its practices), and other big names in technology have quickly followed up by providing more precise user conditions.

The lawmaker representing Delta Central Senatorial District, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has said despite the appeal filed by the Senate and its President, Bukola Saraki, against the Federal High Court’s judgment nullifying his suspension, he will still resume legislative duties.

According to him, the Senate and Saraki have only applied for a stay of execution at the Court of Appeal which has not been granted.



Omo-Agege pointed out that the lower court made a declaratory judgment which had an immediate effect.

He also accused Saraki of seeking the relief for a stay of execution from a court of law which he had allegedly ignored and gone ahead to approve his suspension.

The Senate had on April 12, 2018, suspended Omo-Agege for 90 legislative days for dragging the chamber to court over the amendment to the Electoral Act 2010, which seeks to reshuffle the sequence of polls during a general election.

On the day of his suspension, Omo-Agege had exclusively told The PUNCH that he would continue to work as a senator.

The lawmaker had attended plenary on April 18, one week after his suspension, in a controversial circumstance.

However, a Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday nullified the 90-day suspension imposed on him.

Justice Nnamdi Dimgba, in the judgment, said the order nullifying the suspension was “with immediate effect.”

Counsel for the Senate and its President, Mr. Mahmud Magaji (SAN), had told The PUNCH on Friday that he had filed along with his notice of appeal, an application for stay of execution of the judgment reinstating Omo-Agege.



Omo-Agege, however, told The PUNCH that the appeal would not stop his resumption.

He said, “The judgment that was delivered by the court says that the court was nullifying my suspension ‘with immediate effect.’ If they go ahead and apply for a stay of execution, no court has granted them that. Until that stay is granted, the ‘nullification’ is with immediate effect. They have applied to have a stay but that stay has not been granted.

“Two, the order of the court is a declaratory order. A declaratory order is not ‘ stayable’ in law. The order that the court made, nullifying my suspension with immediate effect, is a declaratory order and it is not ‘ stayable ‘ in law. In any event that they apply for a stay, unless and until the court grants that stay, the judgment of the lower court is to take an immediate effect.

“Three, the Senate President is in contempt of court because my action was pending in court but he showed a total disregard for the court and proceeded to suspend me while my case in court. That by itself is contempt. The relief he is seeking from the court now – stay of execution – is an equitable relief. He who comes to equity must come with clean hands. You cannot be in contempt of the court and ask the same court to grant you an equitable relief. His hands in law are soiled and dirty. Therefore, he is not entitled to an equitable relief in court.

“As far as I am concerned, based on my knowledge of the law, that purported suspension by Saraki has been vacated with immediate effect. They have the right to appeal and they have already filed it. But they are not entitled to the equitable relief of stay of the court’s judgment.”

Both the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Aliyu Sabi-Abdullahi and the Vice-Chairman, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, said they did not have all the details of the legal battle.

Sabi-Abdullahi had on Friday said the lawmakers would discuss Omo-Agege’s matter at the plenary on Tuesday. He said he could not confirm if the senator could resume or not.

Contacted on Saturday, Murray-Bruce said he could not comment on the matter until when he gets adequate information.

Saturday PUNCH had reported exclusively that there were strong indications of a looming showdown at the Senate on Tuesday as Omo-Agege had said he would attend the plenary.

Earlier, The PUNCH had exclusively reported on April 21 that the Senate had ordered security agents to prevent the senator from entering its chamber.

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday dismissed two suits challenging the attempt by All Progressives Congress to extend the tenure of its National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, and those of other officials of the party at the national, state, local government and ward levels.

Justice Nnamdi Dimgba, in two separate judgments, held that the suits had become hypothetical, academic and spent, the party having reversed the decision to extend the officials’ tenures.



The judge in his judgments noted that he had taken “judicial notice” of the fact that the party had started conducting its congresses for the purpose of electing its officials at the ward and local government levels.

He also said he had taken judicial notice of the fact that the party had slated its national convention for May 19.

The judge held that the court does not give judgment “for fancy” but only “addresses live issues.”

But the judge held that had the attempt to extend the tenures matured into reality, it would have been a violation of both the Nigerian and APC’s constitutions.

The party’s National Executive Council had, at its meeting attended by President Muhammadu Buhari on February 27, 2018, extended the four-year tenure of the party officials due to expire on June 30, 2018, by one year.

A member of the APC in Imo State, Mr. Okere Uzochukwu, filed the first suit on March 2, 2018 and marked, FHC/ABJ/CS/219/2018 to challenge the move.

The second suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/237/2018, was filed on March 8, 2018 by four APC members aspiring to run for leadership positions of the party, to challenge the extension of the tenures of the incumbent holders of the executive offices of the party.

President Buhari had, at a later meeting of the NEC, advised against the tenure extension because of possible dire legal consequences it could hold for the party.

He has the code to send Buhari back to Daura...

Their own cup of tea.

Ordinary primary election they can't hold. APC must be kicked out across board.
