Rights activist and co-convener of the Bring Back Our Girls Movement, Aisha Yesufu, has called on the Nigerian Senate to leave the service chiefs and instead impeach President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Senate had earlier called on Nigeria’s service chiefs to step aside as the country continues to grapple with security challenges.

According to Yesufu, instead of holding the service chiefs accountable for the happenings in the country, they should impeach the commander-in-chief.

She said, “The spokesperson to the president said that President Buhari is in charge of Nigeria and I totally agree with him

“Buhari is in charge of the incompetence, the cluelessness, the corruption, the ineptitude that is going on the country.

“He is in charge of the failure to protect the lives and properties of citizens. Buhari has always been in charge

“When people come out to say Buhari is not in charge, that is not so. He knows what is going on.

“The bus stops at his table and it is high time citizens begin to make demands on him. Call him out for what he is, an absolute and total failure.

“The National assembly is asking for the sack of the service chiefs

“It is not about the service chiefs anymore; it is about the commander-in-chief. He has obviously shown he does not have the capacity to lead.

“It is time for the National Assembly to put its act together, to get the guts and impeach the president.

“Anything short of impeachment is not doing any service to Nigeria because we cannot wait for three more years with what we have now.

“It is time for the National Assembly, if they can, to impeach President Buhari.

Meanwhile, The Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) caucus in the House of Representatives has issued a four-week ultimatum to President Muhammadu Buhari to provide security for Nigerians and commence proper cleaning of what it called the embarrassing corruption cases in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) or it will invoke relevant sections of the constitution and commence impeachment proceedings.

The Leader of the caucus in the House, Hon. Kingsley Chinda, in a statement issued Tuesday, said there was a total collapse of all governance and structural systems in the country due to bad or near absence of governance.

He also said that the events of the past few weeks had shown that there was a deliberate and calculated blackmail by the Executive to ridicule the National Assembly and bring the parliament to disrepute.

Chinda added that the behaviours of appointees of the Executive arm were mere smokescreens to create a diversion from a high level of corruption in the executive arm.

The caucus leader stressed that the three arms of government were empowered to work in sync, within the bounds of the basic law, and deliver on the responsibilities and mandates assigned to them by the Constitution, adding that no one arm is superior to the other.

His words, “It is too glaring that there is a deliberate and calculated blackmail by the Executive to ridicule the National Assembly and bring the parliament into public odium.

“The odious events of the past few weeks, chiefly orchestrated by unconscionable officials of the Executive arm of government who continue to show disrespect for the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the ethos, notions and governance practices that shape constitutional democracy, underscore the blackmail.

“In light of the foregoing, we give the Executive four weeks to provide security to Nigerians and commence proper cleaning of the embarrassing and notorious corruption cases (EFCC and NDDC) or we shall revert to the relevant sections of the constitution and commence impeachment proceedings in the interest of Nigeria and Nigerians.”

It's only in Uyo, Akwa State, Nigeria you have to pay for a fees called Passenger Serve Charge.

I think that this country is now beyond transforming. After paying for your flight you still need to pay for Passenger serve charge.

Who account for this fee? And to what revenue does it goes to?

TECNO wraps up Spark 5 Talent Hunt, gives away 1 million naira

These past few months have been very uncertain, with most of the normal activities that we have come to know and love being put on hold.

You can then imagine how happy Nigerian tertiary institution students felt to hear that TECNO was going to hold its annual Spark talent hunt regardless.

You see, over the years, TECNO has distinguished itself as a people-centric brand. In more ways than we can count, the brand has proven that it indeed cares for Nigerians. Year in year out, they have launched campaigns aimed primarily at opening unbelievable doors for Nigerians, with focus on the Nigerian students and entrepreneurs. So, it is indeed not so surprising that despite all odds, even through the uncertainties of this period, TECNO still went all out for its fans.

At the commencement of the Spark 5 talent hunt, TECNO promised that this edition of the hunt will be bigger than last year’s edition. Now that the hunt has ended, we can indeed say that the brand undeniably went bigger.

This edition was tagged Power of 5, alluding to Spark 5’s incredible 5 cameras. And there were five categories – Music, Comedy, Dance, Freshen Up (Makeup for females, Style or dress up for males) and Art. The brand called for Nigerian students to show their talents in these categories to the world in a photo or a less than 1-minute video through their social media platforms. And as you would expect, countless entries came in, all absolutely entertaining.

Then there were those that got Spark 5 smartphones.

The last set of winners all got TECNO gift boxes.

After close to a month of feisty competition, the winners have emerged! The winners are in 3 categories. There were those that got cash prices to the tune of 1 million Naira.

Asides TECNO’s magnanimously generous giveaways, the takeaway from this hunt at such a times as this is that good things happen even in bad situations. Just keep believing.

Magu's security personnel reportedly squared up to the CID as tempers flared.

There was a shouting match between security personnel and orderlies attached to the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, in Wuse, Abuja, before the anti-graft czar was driven to the nation’s presidential villa, sources say.

The EFCC has refuted reports that Magu was arrested on Monday, July 6, 2020. The Department of State Services (DSS) has also denied arresting Magu.

The EFCC also clarified that the embattled Magu “honoured an invitation by a presidential panel reviewing the activities of the EFCC, at the Banquet Hall wing of the presidential villa, Abuja.”

Act. Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibrahim Magu and DG of the National Youth Service Corps Maj. Ibrahim during a briefing[Twitter/@officialEFCC]
Premium Times reports that Magu was arrested at the entrance of the Wuse II EFCC office by security agents believed to be operatives of the Police Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (CID).

The online newspaper also reports that the scene was anything but civil and pretty.

Stopping Magu's convoy

Premium Times quotes an eyewitness as saying that the EFCC boss’ convoy was stopped by armed security agents “but Magu’s security details challenged them.”


The incident would lead to a shouting match between armed operatives from both groups for several minutes.

“Magu and his convoy were driving to the EFCC’s office in Wuse II. Unknown to Magu, the security agents had laid siege around the entrance of the commission office. As his convoy tried to gain entrance to the EFCC’s building, the security agents blocked him with one of their vehicles.

“With the type of vehicle that was used, it was clear that they were not criminals but security agents. Magu’s escorts then came out to challenge the security agents. That led to some shouting match for several minutes. Magu then agreed that he would go with them.”

A security official told the newspaper that although “the security agencies came with two official vehicles, they allowed Magu to stay in his own car on conditions that one of the security agents sits with him.

“He was then driven away to the presidential panel afterwards.

“It was still Magu’s driver that drove the car (with Magu inside) with one officer, and one of the security agents that came to arrest him. The first security car that came for him was in front, the second was at the back of Magu’s car and his own convoy joined up to the presidential villa.”

There are reports that Magu was detained overnight.

The presidential panel grilling Magu is led by former Court of Appeal Judge, Ayo Salami.

Magu's unending troubles

Appointed acting EFCC Chairman by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015, Magu has had a running battle with the DSS and Attorney General of the Federation Abubakar Malami for quite some time.

In 2016, the DSS wrote a stinging report accusing Magu of living large in a N40 million mansion, flying in private jets and receiving kickbacks from persons he should be investigating for corruption.

Malami recently sent a petition to President Buhari, accusing Magu of corruption.

Malami urged the president to sack Magu whom he accused of insubordination and diversion of assets recovered by the EFCC.

The AGF's letter reportedly contained 22 weighty allegations that also included accounting gaps or discrepancies of figures concerning the recovered assets.

The Bukola Saraki-led 8th senate twice refused to confirm Magu following allegations of corruption, submitting that he lacks the integrity to lead the anti-corruption agency.

The presidency is yet to send Magu to the Ahmad Lawan-led 9th senate for confirmation.

selfdefence:
Everyone has that unique ability in them that makes them stand out from the crowd. Be it singing, dancing, comedy, or fashion, having the right platform is key to showcasing your talents and that's what the Spark Talent Hunt #PowerOfFive Competition was all about.

Made up of five categories – Music, Comedy, Dance, Freshen Up (Makeup for females, Style or dress up for males) and Art, the Spark 5 talent hunt ran for weeks and have finally come to an end with TECNO mobile officially announcing the winners.

I can only imagine how happy they'll be considering the cash prizes involved, smartphones and other gift items. Congratulations to them.

WhatsApp has increased the limit of participants in group video calls to eight participants: here’s what changes and how to do them

After the arrival on the beta version of Android and iOS, after the official announcement by WhatsApp, now the new function is finally available for everyone: on the messaging application, it is possible to make video calls up to eight participants. The “new tool” is available on the latest version of the application and to use it you need to update WhatsApp, otherwise, it will not be possible to use it.

Group video calls for up to eight participants is just one of the latest features implemented by WhatsApp to deal with the Covid-19 emergency.

The application has experienced a real boom in daily users, especially as regards group calls and video calls. So far, however, there was only one major flaw: the limit of participants (four). The technicians were able to listen to user requests in a short time and increased the number of participants, also developing a new graphical interface. Although it may seem like a small thing, in reality, it is not so: smartphone screens have limited dimensions and being able to give each person the right space is not easy. WhatsApp, however, has found a solution that satisfies everyone: here’s how to make group video calls with eight participants.

WhatsApp, group video calls with eight participants on Android and iOS;

The new limit imposed by WhatsApp does not lead to changes in the way a group video call is initiated. The procedure to follow is always the same.

Whatsapp app Update with 8 members Video Call :

In the case of a group chat with many participants, the group is accessed and the icon with the handset positioned at the top is pressed. At this point, a menu appears with the list of all the participants in the group and you can choose who to make the video call with. The limit of eight participants also includes the one who initiated the call. The rules for inviting other people to the video call, in the event that there are fewer than eight, always remain the same: all participants can add other users by pressing the little man icon in the upper right corner.

The only change compared to before concerns the application interface: to make room for eight people on the screen, it was divided into eight equal rectangles. The space for each participant is somewhat limited, but it was the only solution available.

How to download the latest version of WhatsApp for Android and iOS :

The mandatory obligation to use the new function is to update WhatsApp to the latest version available;

iOS 2.20.50

Android 2.20.141.

If one of the participants in the group video call does not have one of these two versions, it will not be possible to make it with eight people. 

To download WhatsApp iOS 2.20.50 or WhatsApp Android 2.20.141 you need to enter the App Store or Google Play Store and check in the updates section if the update is available. 

The release will be gradual and most likely you will have to wait a couple of days for it to reach everyone.

Personal assistants have been available for quite some time now, and this led to the best voice command app for android popularity. The launch of the first voice assistant back in 2011 marked the mainstream arrival of voice assistants on mobile devices.

It wasn’t until a while when Google developed Google Now voice commands, which has now evolved into the AI toting Google Assistant. However, voice assistants aren’t limited to single brands offering.

Nowadays, the message is very clear: #STAYHOME! Many countries are in Coronavirus Lockdown and we must stay home, as that is the only “vaccine” we have for now. It’s never fun staying indoors for an extended period. Even worse, we can’t hang out with friends, see a movie at the cinema, drive anywhere or even take a breath of fresh air.

However, staying safe at home doesn’t have to be lonely or boring. There are still lot of fun things you can do to avoid boredom. Below are some examples of things you can do during the lockdown

Workout
Staying in one place without activity is a recipe for sedentary living and bad for our health. Hence, daily exercise and good food help to keep us rejuvenated. Therefore, you should step up your fitness game indoors. For instance, if you’ve never cared about your fitness goals due to the hustle and bustle, now is a good time to start.

Learn New Things
How about doing something new? You can take an online course to boost your career or academic goals. You can also learn a new language, join a cooking class or simply improve yourself by joining a program on mindset training.

Join Online Challenge
There are fun things you can do online like the hilarious things people are doing on social media. From the million-mask challenge to PSA Dance, toilet roll dribbling, template memes, and lots more.

For example, one of the ways to stay productive this period is by joining the Stay at Home reality challenge.

TECNO Stay at Home Realities
The Stay at Home Reality challenge encourages people to post pictures of different activities they are doing during the lockdown.

You can post pictures about watching a movie, having breakfast, family moments, working at home and many more. However, you should post pictures from different parts of each day, morning to evening.

Participate by, going to the TECNO social media pages on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and submit your entry with the hashtag #StayAtHomeRealities.

Every week, the most creative entries with the highest number of shares, likes, and replies will be announced as winners. Winners will be given the chance to choose between:

- 1 month premium cable subscription
- Airtime Research (worth same amount)
- Shopping Voucher.

I learnt this activity runs from 17th of April to the 30th of April, 2020.

Why not take advantage of the lockdown and have a fun time wherever you are? Who knows, you just might win one of the TECNO’s prizes while having fun this period.

Then which one should we buy when we don't have money to buy Samsung products?

I like this guy. Brother ask am oooh...I change phones every two years and I prefer I phone I use the change...not using fortune to buy a phone and change in a year

"I noticed that these days our smart phones now come with bigger internal storage and I think the least is 32GB, but these storage capacity can drop so quick to 8GB if you are on a budget device"

The 128GB storage capacity on our devices are also not left out of this storage hoolabaloo, cause they also get to fill up when you get too carried away with installing applications, taking photos and videos and also downloading movies to pass the time with on our devices, this pandemic period is the perfect example of boredom and the best way to get through it is be watching movies.

Now without an iota of doubt, I believe the best way to completely free internal storage of your Android smartphone is by performing a factory reset But setting things back up how you want them can take an awful lot of time, and you may lose precious photos, video and other files if they are not properly backed up.

How To Get More Storage On Your Android Smartphone

Delete Cache Files

Go to your device internal memory, tap on the three dots on the top right hand side and click on "Show Hidden Files" you should see some kinda invisible folders, click and hold on to the folders and delete them, once done you can go back and "Hide Hidden Files".

Delete WhatsApp 'Msgstore' Database

Go to your device internal memory, locate and click on "WhatsApp" click on "Databases" you should see some files in this format "msgstore-2020-04-07.1.db.crypt12" delete them all, leaving the only the one in this format "msgstore.db.crypt12".

Move Media's With Huge Size Off Internal Memory

Photos and videos take up a crazy amount of space, and the more storage space you have the less likely you are to routinely go through your file manager looking for files to delete. If your device has space for a MicroSD add one and automate the saving of such media to microSD.

Backup Data To Google Drive

It's safe to say the majority of Android phones run on Google's services, so in other words, it makes sense to make use of Google's other cloud-storage tools, too. Though your document files will take up significantly less space (unless you have a lot of them or a lot of multiple-page PDFs for example), all these can be moved to Google Drive. As with Photos, this will create a useful backup and make those files accessible from any online device.

Uninstall Unused Applications And Games

Since recent Android versions no longer allow users to move their installed apps and games to SD card, it is imperative that you uninstall unused applications and games and the best way to go about this is to visit the Apps menu in Settings.

Or better still you can also access a list of the apps and games you have downloaded by opening Google Play Store, choosing Settings, My apps & games, then selecting the installed tab. To delete anything here just tap on it, then choose Uninstall.

Liking the camera property of this new tecno phone

Chubbyface:
The bezel is that space bordered around your smartphone screen where the camera, phone sensor, home button, etc. are located. A notch is that small space on the screen where the camera, sensor and the phone speaker is located.

These days in the race of bigger bezel-less screens, phone companies have been continuously innovating their smartphones and some go a ‘notch’ further and remove the notch altogether. One may wonder if the phone has a bezel-less screen, where does the camera go? How does it work?

Back in the day, the camera, memory, RAM management, screen material used, the micro-chip, processor speed, battery backup, brand, etc were considered to be important factors for a person to consider while buying a smartphone.

But with the introduction of Tecno Mobile, smartphones are now slimmer, slicker and it's improves screen-to-body ratio should be one of the reasons you should get a smartphone.

Below are reasons why pop-up camera phones are awesome:

1. The cool feel: Pop-up sliders are cool and attractive. It shows how revolutionary and transformative technology has become.

2. More display area: One good benefit of the pop-up feature on any smartphone is that it gives room for a bigger display, also hides your camera in such a way that your screen is at the full display which is the perfect view to watch all your favorite movies and play video games.

3. No requirement of notch screen giving an elusive and cool impression: In this type of display, a place where the camera is placed is blank for the camera, making it look good as compared to the notch display

4. They also have a futuristic vibe and give users concerned with privacy peace of mind, as the front-facing camera isn’t staring at them the whole time.

This is grate...5000 preorders for this phone..

When the Camon 15 series was launched on April 2nd 2020 it was well received by most Nigerians but who would have guessed that just 10 days later Tecno Mobile would sell about 5,000 copies of these phones in such short period of time.

Tecno have taken to their Twitter page and announced that about 5,000 copies of the Camon 15 series have been sold. Although the phone is still in pre-order stage, most Nigerians have already started liking the phones.

Well, having Wizkid as a brand ambassador might also have it’s role to play. With his millions of followers and his Wizkid FC armies, my best guess is the numbers will only increase now.

There was no break down on which phone in the Camon 15 series was bought the most. The statistics taken include all three variants of the Camon 15 phones.

When you have a new technology (Pop Up Selfie Camera) and an brand ambassador (Wizkid) with a large fan base, this is what you expect to get as a result.

You can still pre-order the Camon 15 now by clicking on the link below���
