I have been using the Redmi 5 Plus 4gb/64gb (Chinese version) for a little over 2 months now. Before now, it was an Infinix phone, Hot 2 to be precise.

I have enjoyed the device to a large extent but with some reservations.
1. I always have to dial a ussd code every time I need to switch back to 3G network. It makes no sense.
2. I would always have network losses every now and then. I don't know if it's a bug in the latest update.

Btw please is this update okay to download and install? I don't want any measly bugs here. What do you think?

3. Because of the rom I'm using, I can't access the themes and fonts on the theme store and it's annoying asf. Maybe when I find someone who can help me flash the phone to a global rom it'll get better.

I like the speed, the long lasting battery and some other key features though.

That's how I've left the Tecno/Infinix gang and joined the Xiaomi family ��.
Thanks Protein0 for coming through.

A review coming soon of my Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus (4GB, 64GB)

Being a social media manager for brand is not as easy as ABC. That is why they asked for previous experience. Since you do not have any, you can prep up your personal social media accounts and present as your experience. DO NOT LIE!

As for what to expect on this job, here are some few things to note:

You'll need to familiarize yourself with social media applications, at least the popular ones. How well do you know the features of Instagram, Facebook and Twitter? It doesn't end with just putting up a picture and sharing it. Are you familiar with hashtags? Can you use them effectively? Can you tag properly and mention someone in a post? Can you run adverts on at least one of the platforms? Those are some of the basic things they expect you to have knowledge on.

There are social media tools for analytics and scheduling posts. Are you aware of any? Do a quick research on them and have a general idea. Some of them include Buffer, Later, Onlypult, Hootsuite, Postso and lots more.

Do you know how to source for good content free of errors? The first social media manager job I got, I was asked to send out a couple of tweets right there during the interview. And they waited to see the response the tweet will attract. Fortunately for me, I'm quite witty when writing and got a good number of retweets in minutes. So prep yourself for similar scenario.

If this happens, remember the basics for a social media post: Good quality image, error-free post text, proper hashtags, and customise each post for each channel. Instagram favors the use of more hashtags than Facebook and is more about visuals, while Twitter has post limit.

Follow popular social media influencers and learn from them. They are very many.

You obviously can't be a pro overnight but if you can impress them with a knowledge of these basic things, they might not bother about previous experience as long as you show a willingness to learn and improve.

To further impress them, visit their social media channels(if they already do) and put together a simple strategy on how you intend to grow their brand on social media. Speak like you already work with them

This is very smart and succinct. Well said.

Pls send to tobs@muimail.com thanks.

Please help me o! I supplied my email address to the verification box and was sent the number but on inputting it, its saying number is incorrect. I experienced the same with my second email address. What can I do o?

I have worked with several brands. I am well versed in social media marketing and creating graphics.

Dwindling oil prices has made it an imperative for the oil-dependent Nigerian economy to find alternative means of incoming generation for the Nation. Among other efforts to diversify the economy, the push for the revival of the agricultural sector has been on the front line.

In an effort to increase participation in the sector, the Government has developed initiatives, mapped out strategies, offered incentives and support.

Here are 5 incentives the Nigerian Government offers in order to promote agriculture:

Loads and Grants
The current administration has made available funds that can be assessed by farmers for farming. The Federal of Agriculture has made available 65.9million dollars in the Fund Agricultural Finance in Nigeria (FAFIN). The fund is being managed and disbursed by Saphel Capital.
Another Government loan by the Central Bank of Nigeria, to be made available to all the 36 States in the Federation. The fund called the Nigerian Incentive-Based Risk sharing in Agricultural Lending(NIRSAL) is a private public partnership venture.

The Bank of Agriculture is an Institution dedicated to making funds available to farmers at low-interest rates. Farmers intending to access loans through the Bank of Agriculture are required to own an account with the Bank and have an account balance that is up to 20% of the funds they wish to borrow, amongst other conditions.

Training and re-training of Farmers.
The Government has invested heavily in the training of Farmers in the country. Rural farmers are trained on modern farm practices, new techniques, use of farm equipment, use of hybrid, improved seedlings, cross breeding, etc.As part of the Government’s effort in increasing citizens participation in Agriculture, individuals who have no prior farming experience or knowledge are trained, certified and equipped with starter-packs to set-up at their various locations.
Pieces of training like these are organized regularly and interested individuals can participate without paying a fee.

Lease of Agricultural Equipment.
In other to encourage large scale farming, the Government make available heavy agricultural machinery, such as tractors, tillers, heavy plough, sprayer, etc.These heavy-duty equipment are leased to farmers at subsidized prices. In some States, the lease is handled by the Ministry of Agriculture or the Ministry of Works. All a farmer needs to do is to apply, requesting for use of any of the machines. Then pay the subsidized fee.

Distribution of Fertilizers and pesticides.
In other to increase yield and reduce damage to crop to pests, the Government makes available fertilizers and pesticides for distribution to farmers. The fertilizers and pesticides are either distributed for free or sold at highly subsidized rates.
Provision of improved seedlings.

The Government makes available good, improved seedlings that yield good harvest within a short period of time.There are varieties of seedlings, each with its own characteristics. Some take more time between planting and harvest but yield a greater harvest. Some take less time and can be cultivated and harvested different times within a year, making it a better variety of commercial ventures.

Join Bossman.ng on the 26th of August for a webinar and learn many ways to profit from the Agricultural sector. Register here: https://events.genndi.com/register/169105139238464062/64af4bbba5

Hello there

So I've been using Snapchat for up to a month now and it's being fun so far. I've seen various events from the views of other users and gotten insight into the lives of other everyday people like me. I'd say it's a great tool for cultural exposure. But then I don't have Nigerian friends and followers on the platform, mostly Americans and Canadians and I'd very much like for that to change. So if you're a REGULAR user of Snapchat and you believe your Snapchat stories are worth viewing, drop your Snapchat handle below or share your snap code so we can save and have it scanned so we can get connected together. Can't wait to start adding you all!

P.S Add me up with @tobiange

Dream League on my Camon C8. Very addictive soccer game.

That game can help me finish my Infinix hot 2 battery like die. Very addictive something.

I felt down seeing Kaduna too, but I'm glad I chose and (hopefully not) got that even if it was my least desired state. But it's alright.

The name's Tobi. Finished from Psychology department, Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife.

My call up number has remained the same throughout. On the green card, SMS and dashboard. All the same and not changed. Let's hope for a turnaround. Until then, Kd, where we come!

Number one just happened to me. I wanted to talk to the girl but I was using style to wait till we got to the bus stop. Once she alighted if you see how she took off!

Traffic jams can be very unproductive.
Economic experts, referring to the city of Lagos, say that the business community therein loses at least N11 billion monthly as a result of daily traffic gridlock. Also, according to Wole Sowunmi, an economist, research has shown that the more time people spend in traffic jams, the more money is lost in business transactions that they would have made in the time they spend commuting to work. This has negative consequences both for the states economy and the nations at large.
You see, aside from the economic ramifications of lost time in traffic, it can be pretty frustrating, to sit in a single place for two hours or more long, staring at the moving vehicles outside on the road as they all form a pattern of moving and stopping, going three or four feet at a time, repeating the process again and again. People react to this circumstance in diverse ways. Some get tired of the boring sight happening outside their windows and put their heads down to doze off to sleep. Others use the time to meditate about their lives. Some others spend minutes talking on the phone with God knows who, I wonder where they get airtime to talk as if it is midnight call, not like its my business.
After about three weeks working quite a distance from home, I have come to have firsthand experience of the hectic traffic situation in Lagos. I even went ahead to follow @Gidi_Traffic, an account which I had usually snubbed on my twitter timeline previously. Before the advent of my graduation from school, I pledged to myself not to live and work in Lagos after service. That desire is being reinforced every day I sit in traffic. Lagos traffic is a real problem staring in us the face as Ebola did in Nigeria a year ago. So now I have accepted the reality. I wouldn't quit my job just because of traffic and until I find an alternative place to stay, I'll just have to cope with this. So I started to think of ways to manage this transportation crisis. I can't do anything about the traffic after I get into it (not like I'll jump out of the vehicle and Wear a LASTMA uniform and go superman on the road or board a flying car which doesn't exist in the real world anyway but in science fiction movies), traffic jams are out of my circle of influence, such are in my circle of concern. What I can however control is how I react to being in the traffic jam. So I decided to use my time in whatever traffic jam I find myself as productively and leisurely as I could. I did a bit of study and found out these strategies for coping with traffic jams. You could adopt any depending on the context of your affect, driving situation and priorities.
1. Read that book: often times we wished that we had more time on our hands to spend some time reading that book purchased from the bookstore last year. It's almost a year now all that you've been able to cover is the preface. Why don't you use that time you're using to nod your head here and there to go over a few pages before arrival at your destination? You'll gain a lot more from assimilating knowledge than 'shutting your eyes for a while'. Whether it's a hard copy book or an eBook, dedicate yourself to maximizing time by consuming relevant knowledge. Reading a great novel isn't a bad idea too.
2. Brainstorm: probably there's a project or idea that you need to develop and submit a report on the next day, you could use that time also to bring out your phone, open the note pad application and think through the ups and downs of the project. The best ideas often come in the weirdest of situations (e.g. Aristotle solved his questions in the bath tub). Also you could write your to-do list for the day's work.
3. Listen to an audio tape: engaging your auditory senses to learn something new or useful towards your personal development is not a bad idea. Turn your time in the traffic jam to a university on wheels.
4. Watch a movie: This is more on the leisurely side of time use. It's what I do after a long day of meeting deadlines and a long list of To-do's marked off my list. Other leisurely activities that I engage in are music listening and Internet browsing.
5. Writing : you could bring out your notepad (hard or soft) and begin to pen down your creative thoughts and form them into stories or riveting articles, hopefully like the one your fixated on right now.
6. Take a walk: you don't have to sit through all the noise and the waiting of the traffic. If you are a walk able distance from your destination, I'll implore you to alight and talk a brisk walk over there, especially in the mornings. It's a good routine to exercise your body since many people feel don't have the time to work out before leaving home in the morning.
But these are only a few of the ways in dealing with traffic jams. As they wisely say that no man is self-made, let's rub minds as we unearthed more ideas on this. Tweet at me with the hashtag #Reflexions or post your comments and let's get talking!

Shekau, are they trying to promote insurgency. He would be somewhere smiling if he sees his name on that list.
God help Nigeria.

Shekau should not be on that list. I don't see what positive influence that he has made to the Nigerian and Global society. Only positive behaviours should be rewarded, negative behaviours are punished.
