Science/Technology / How To Protect Your Identity On Facebook With Face Recognition Technology by HotnaijaMarket(m): 10:39pm On Mar 13, 2018
It not new that people are using someone elses pictures to fraud on social medias. Facebook is now doing a great job concernng this because they revealed a new feature that will automatically let users know when they appear in a photo or video, even if they weren’t actually tagged instantly.



Though this feature was first announced in December 2017 but was fully integrated on February, 2018. Those who logged onto Facebook on Tuesday could attest to the fact that Facebook notifies them on their News Feed of the firm’s new facial recognition technology.
For you to be part of this great feature which has rolled out to every user, this will only be applied to newly uploaded photos. And you will only receive a notification if the person uploading the picture makes it visible to you through their privacy settings.

How To Easily Detect Fake Facebook Profile Picture

NOTE: This tool will not roll out to Canada or the European Union, where Facebook faces much more intense backlash over its use of facial data.
As per this feature advantage, If a picture featuring your face is uploaded, you will notice a dialogue box pop up, once you noticed that, Then, you’ll have the option to tag yourself, message the user who posted it, notify Facebook that the face isn’t you, or report the picture for violating the site’s rules. Facebook says it will also now notify users if their photos are being used by another profile, a move that could cut down dramatically on imposter accounts.

Facebook now is spinning the feature as one that gives users more control over their online privacy and content.
While it may be good for users to know what pictures of theirs are floating in cyberspace because there may be photos that exist that you don’t know about. There’s a major plus in it for Facebook also. [Continue Reading: http://www.techdavids.com/2018/03/how-to-protect-your-identity-on.html?m=1#.WqhDXr0o_qA
Sports / Coach Antonio Conte Defends Chelsea Star After Crystal Palace Win by HotnaijaMarket(m): 3:28pm On Mar 11, 2018
Antonio Conte was forced to defend one of his key players after beating Crystal Palace.

Chelsea's classy first half display was enough to see them through against Roy Hodgson's side, despite a late scare.

Patrick van Aanholt's late goal put pressure on Conte's side, who came through to put their two recent defeats behind them.

But Chelsea are struggling in front of goal at present.

Summer signing Alvaro Morata has failed to continue his solid form from the opening weeks of the season.

But Conte was left defending his other striking option, Olivier Giroud at full-time.

"I think Olivier was unlucky," he said.

"Two clear chances to score, he hit the post and another was a deflection by the defender, but his commitment was good for the team and we have to continue in this way.

"But the Blues boss did admit his side scuppered a host of chances to kill the game off.

"We tried to finish the game, but I think that their goalkeeper made good saves and we hit the post," he added.

"For sure when you have so many chances it is important to be clinical, but we must be pleased with the performance of the team and prepare For Barcelona."

Chelsea travel to the Nou Camp next to take on Barcelona in the Champions League. [Continue Reading:- www.ngfind.com
Science/Technology / What Can Smart Phone Camera Do Apart From Shooting Pictures by HotnaijaMarket(m): 11:14am On Mar 11, 2018
Don't ve shocked, it is very real that your Smartphone camera can perform more function aside snapping of pictures. Everyone knows that a camera phone is a mobile phone which is able to capture photographs. Most camera phones also record video as usual.

Capturing photographs is the most used feature of smartphones and lots of people think that's where the use of the camera ends in a mobile phone which is not so. Some people only snap pictures with their camera phone and they think that's where the use of the camera ends in a mobile phone, not knowing that there are lots of amazing things only a camera embedded in a device can do. Well, today, I will list 12 useful things you can do with your Smartphone camera.

1. Barcode Scanner


You can make us of your phone camera to scan barcodes in order to get the information written on it, Since anything programmed into it, is always not visible for the naked eyes to see, but can only be known through the use of any barcode scanner app controlled by the camera. If you are using WhatsApp web on your PC, you must have come across this kind of action where you will be asked to scan your barcode so that you can be able to access your WhatsApp chat using your PC.
The barcorde scanner can also be used in UC browsers. So, whenever you have any multiple lines of marks just in the form of several straight lines together, just use your barcode scanner app or UC Browser to scan the lines with the help of your camera.

2. Language Translator


We all know the meaning of translator, you can translate any odd language to the language you understand.With your phone's camera, you can be able to translate the language in the form of text and symbol that seems to appear strange to you. And you can achieve that with your phone's camera and with the help of Google translator app for is meant for all Android and iOS devices. The translation works this way;
Once you have the Google translator installed on your device, probably Android smartphones or iOS devices. And you come across any language in the form of text or symbol which was written in anywhere, maybe on the wall, sign board, paper or book. Just launch the Google app translator and click the camera icon in the app. Immediately your camera should start scanning while you place it where you want it to scan and translate probably the text. Then, the Google app while translating the text uses optical character recognition (OCR) to automatically interpret what you want to translate. Atleast this type of translator is easier and faster compared to the other Google translator that requires you to type in your text before you can get the interpretation.

3. Play Augmented Reality Games
Augmented reality in phones has been around for some time now and tools like AR translation apps are great, but nobody ever seems to show you how to use the technology for fun. That shouldn't stop you using your phone's ability to play augmented reality games though - no matter where you are.
There are plenty of them about, like SpecTrek - the game where you search for virtual ghosts using a map and then shoot them down when you find them. Or there's like Zombie, Run! where you have to get from A to B on a map, avoiding those pesky flesh eaters en route

Another augmented reality game is Droid Shooting. Turn any real-life boring background into a real life shooting fest as you deal with waves upon waves of droids that will come and attack you. Droid Shooting utilizes your phone’s camera and makes it a viewfinder or HUD (Heads-up-display) for the battlefield. You will also find a radar at your disposal, so you’ll always know where those vicious droids plan to attack. The game entertaining you as if the whole thing is real.

Science/Technology / Re: How To Use The Homepod With Your Apple TV (step-by-step) by HotnaijaMarket(m): 11:00am On Mar 11, 2018
Science/Technology / How To Use The Homepod With Your Apple TV (step-by-step) by HotnaijaMarket(m): 10:59am On Mar 11, 2018
Recently, we published a post on how to customise or disable siri inwhich homepod was included and we get diferent testimonies on our mail about it work. Then most iOS users don't even know how to disable the siri talkless of customising but after publishing that post here, Many people sent a "Thanks" mail to us.



But today we will talk about using the homepod with your Apple TV. Apple’s HomePod is a great little speaker, and while you can AirPlay music to it from your iPhone, you can also wirelessly hook it up to your Apple TV through AirPlay. Here’s how to do it.





You must have this in mind before going through these steps below...Using your HomePod as your new home theater speaker setup, it’s important to know that using the HomePod like this isn’t really its intended purpose.
The HomePod only works with your Apple TV and no other television inputs. So, for example, if you frequently go back and forth between your Apple TV and watching cable on a different input, you won’t be able to use the HomePod as a speaker for when you watch cable.

Let's be frank...that AirPlay itself has a bit of a lag since it’s a wireless protocol. However, the Apple TV and the HomePod are smart enough to recognize this and compensate for the lag so that video and audio are lined up just right. The bad news is that this really only works with video content. If you play any games on your Apple TV, the lag is more apparent. You also need to reconnect the HomePod to your Apple TV every time you reboot either device. And if you ever tell Siri to play music on the HomePod, the HomePod will disconnect from your Apple TV, just take note of that very well, nevertheless the HomePod is only compatible with the Apple TV 4 and Apple TV 4K. So if you have an older model, it might not really work the way it should.
Using your homepod with your Apple TV, it enables you to control video playback a little bit using Hey Siri on the HomePod. Things like play/pause, volume, and scrubbing can all be done using your voice. So if anything, this gets you one step closer to being able to control your Apple TV with your voice. Stay tuned while I show you the steps to connect the homepod to the Apple TV.

Sports / Liverpool Star Sadio Mane Fires Warning To Man Utd Ahead Of Saturday Clash by HotnaijaMarket(m): 9:50pm On Mar 07, 2018
Sadio Mane has fired a warning to Manchester United ahead of Saturday’s showdown.


Liverpool head to Old Trafford this weekend looking to overtake Manchester United in second place.


Liverpool are two points back in third and could put more pressure on Jose Mourinho with a victory.


And Mane thinks this Liverpool team can beat anyone.


"It will not be easy but I've always said we can beat any team in the world," said Mane.


"Honestly they (Manchester United) are one of the best teams in England, of course in the world also, but we are as well.


"It's the dream for every single player to play this kind of game so everyone is looking forward to it."


United needed injury time to beat Crystal Palace on Monday and have looked out of sorts in recent weeks while Liverpool are firing on all cylinders.


Prior to last night’s 0-0 draw with Porto they had scored 16 goals in their last five games.


Jurgen Klopp was delighted his side managed to make the last eight of the Champions League.


"It feels really good," said Klopp.


"I think this year we belong there to be honest, it should not be a big surprise.


"I think it was time we showed up again. Good development in Liverpool at the moment, it's a nice moment, but if you don't show up in a competition like the Champions League then nobody really will realise it.


"I'm happy for all the people involved that we have made that step. So it's done, it's good, now let's carry on.


"The next round will be difficult, seven other very good teams, maybe four of them are from England, which doesn't make it easier.


"I think we will have a chance for sure to go to the semis. We'll take it step-by-step and tonight it is cool." {Continue Reading:- www.ngfind.com}
Business / How Can I Get Customer Reviews For My Ecommerce Store? by HotnaijaMarket(m): 9:34am On Mar 07, 2018
Welcome to Ask Shopify, a series where ecommerce experts tackle real questions and challenges from store owners who are trying to launch, build, and scale their stores. We’re here to help with every aspect of your store, from marketing to HR to accounting.
Who’s we? We’re the ecommerce experts both inside and outside of Shopify. Between our team, who spend all day immersed in the world of ecommerce (and who sometimes run stores themselves!) our squad of Shopify Experts, and our amazing customers, we have access to world-class expertise—and now you do too. So let’s dig in and get to your questions, because they’re good ones.
Question:
What’s the best way to get customer reviews for my store? I’ve tried several approaches and none have stuck. What’s the best to ask for feedback, and how? I have happy customers and lots of repeat business, but my reviews and feedback don’t reflect it. I’ve had thousands of transactions and only 35 reviews or so over the years.
Answer:
Social proof, especially in the form of customer reviews, can be one of the strongest tools in your ecommerce sales toolbox. It’s understandable that you’re frustrated your happy customers aren’t sharing that happiness with others.
To help you build a plan to convert those happy customers into satisfied reviewers, we spoke to Matt Morris, Marketing Automation Manager here at Shopify. While he was clear email isn’t the only way to encourage your customers to leave reviews, it’s a useful channel to start with when you’re looking to solicit reviews from exactly the right people. He also broke down the details of how to implement a review-generating strategy, so if you’ve tried email without much success before, this might be the fix you’re looking for.
Identify customers likely to leave reviews
Matt shared with us that a blanket approach to asking for feedback might not get you the results you’re looking for, and that to generate reviews, you should focus on customers who’ve recently (or consistently) had a positive experience with your business. They’re most likely to post a review in the first place.
If you’re wondering how to find who those customers are for your brand, Matt has segmentation advice that can help you target the people most likely to leave you reviews, and glowing ones at that.
“Have they bought more than one product from you? Have they reordered the same product multiple times? These are indicators that they're a loyal and happy customer who would be inclined to leave a positive review,” said Matt.
“Another data point you could look at is order value. People who spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on your site likely get a lot of value out of your products, and they’re an ideal customer to ask for a review versus a customer who bought a ten dollar product to try you out for the first time.”

Business / 5 Inspiring Books That Are Transforming My Life And Business by HotnaijaMarket(m): 1:21am On Mar 07, 2018
The news was horrifying.
There had been a mass shooting.
Then another story broke.
Some madman with his fingers on a big red button with megalomania syndrome was testing nuclear weapons.
It’s not a good way to start the day.
If we listened all day to the 24/7 news cycle we would all be clinically depressed.
I hate to break it to you but things in general are quite good.
The big picture is positive.
The truth revealed by the data tells a different story that big media wants you to hear.
The world is getting better.
But I am an eternal optimist.
So below are 5 books that may help you in your life and business.
Add something to your life and change you.
One word at a time.
This first book “Enlightenment Now” reveals the truth beyond the depressing daily news.
#1. Enlightenment Now
In the book “Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress” Steven Pinker reveals some facts.
And Bill Gates said “My new favourite book of all time“.
5 Inspiring Books
Here is a snippet of how good things have become in the last 200-300 years as revealed by his exhaustive research.
Life expectancy – In the mid 18th century the life expectancy was 35 years in Europe and the Americas. For the world as a whole it was 29. But starting in the 19th century life expectancy began to rise. The answer in 2015 is 71.4 years. I know when I would rather live.
Health – Research has shown that discoveries by just 100 scientists have saved over 5 billion lives. These include Karl Landsteiner who saved an estimated 1 billion lives with the discovery of blood groups. And we can thank people like Edward Jenner who discovered vaccination in 1796 and Willam Foege for saving over 300 million people from Smallpox which has now been eradicated since 1977.
Wealth – Between 1820 and 1900 the world’s income tripled. In the next 20 years it tripled again. And it has kept rising. Today the Gross World Product has increased almost 200 fold since the start of the Enlightenment in the the 18th century.
Peace – Wars between great powers have (including world wars) are the most intense form of destruction that the human species has dreamed up. At the dawn of the modern era in the 1500’s the great powers were almost always at war. But the decline has been marked. There hasn’t been one since the USA fought China in Korea over 60 years ago.

Image source: Enlightenment Now
It’s not just the great powers that stopped fighting each other with armed conflict between two nation states also in decline. There have been no more than 3 in any year 1945 and none in most years since 1989 and none since the American led invasion of Iraq since 2003.
Environment – Wealth is one thing but at the cost of destroying humanity and the planet we inhabit and is our only home would be foolish. Progress needs to be sustainable. As the world has got richer nature has begun to rebound. London no longer has a fog (coal smoke), the waterways of Puget sound and the Great Lakes are now being re-colonized by fish, birds and sometimes swimmers. The wealthier a nation the usually the better its environment. Oil spills have dropped from more than 100 in in 1973 to just 5 in 2016.
It doesn’t mean there is a lot more to do.
Underlying this progress is something that has made this possible.
Knowledge and reason.
And a willingness for humanity to toss off the cloak of old ways of thinking and continue to evolve.
To become fully human.
To grow and progress.
#2. Killing Marketing
Joe Pulizzi and Robert Rose live at the front of Content Marketing. Their new book “Killing Marketing: How Innovative Businesses Are Turning Marketing Cost Into Profit” released last year challenges the business models of marketing.
5 Inspiring Books That Are Transforming my Life And Business
What are my biggest takeaways from this book?
The first one It is summed up in the quote I stumbled across on Jeremy Epstein’s blog.
“Sales – you call them. Marketing – they call you.”
Content marketing is an ongoing investment that attracts an audience…. and leads and sales.
The other key insight was the new and innovative revenue and business models for new age online publishers. The challenge is for organisations, brands and businesses is to think of themselves in a digital world as media companies.
And not just a soulless brand.
If you don’t believe in content marketing yet, then this book may turn and transform your thinking.
#3. Building a Story Brand
Donald Miller in his No. 1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller “Building a StoryBrand: Clarify Your Message So Customers Will Listen” could be a game changer for how you reveal your business and brand to the world.
5 Inspiring Books
In between the covers he reveals the seven universal elements of powerful stories to teach readers how to dramatically improve how they connect with customers and grow their businesses.
The key takeaway for me was that you need to make your customer “the hero” and not your brand. You are just the guide that shows them the way and has a plan.
That is the opposite of what marketing 101 tells you.

WEMA Bank is one of he great banks that give opportunity to their client to earn from them anytime, anyday.

Education / JAMB Confirms Printing Of Exam Slip For 2018 UTME Begins March 6th by HotnaijaMarket(m): 11:25pm On Mar 05, 2018
JAMB Confirms Printing Of Exam Slip For 2018 UTME Begins March 6th
Gift Ogo March 5, 2018

Business / How To Turn Readers Into Revenue 2018 by HotnaijaMarket(m): 12:52pm On Mar 05, 2018
How do you turn readers into revenue?
It’s the question content marketers around the world ask themselves. It’s the question ecommerce marketers and entrepreneurs ask themselves before starting a blog.

Let’s deconstruct the question and work backwards from the money. Here’s your step-by-step guide to turning your current (or future) readers into cold, hard cash.

How much money did your content make you in 2016?
If you know the answer to this question, congratulations! You’re likely within the top 10% of content marketers in the world. If you’re like most people, though, you weren’t able to answer the question confidently.
You might know the number of pageviews you racked up or how rapidly your email list grew, but those are not monetary measures of success.
After talking to countless frustrated content marketers, in the ecommerce space and beyond, about how difficult it is to measure revenue generated through content marketing, I’ve invented a formula.
Wait. Inch away from that Close button. I promise this won’t involve any confusing math; I was an English major.
This formula serves two different purposes:
Convince stakeholders to invest more in content or fully staff your content team.
Shift content from a long-term branding effort to a measurable marketing activity.
Why the 80/20 rule of content is total BS.
Ok, let’s back up a bit. Let me take you back to 2006-2007.
Content marketing was starting to be taken seriously because of the success of what we called “SEO articles”. Basically, we chose a keyword and used it as many times as we possibly could in a 500 word article. Then we submitted that article to a site with tens of thousands of other SEO articles. Repeat.
Very advanced stuff, I know. But it worked. Like, it really worked.
After a while, a debate broke out about what’s known as the 80/20 rule. Essentially, people started arguing because SEO articles weren’t working anymore and we needed to rethink content.
Some people said content marketing was 80% content creation, 20% content promotion. They wanted to put a focus on crafting content people actually wanted to read. Others argued content marketing was 80% content promotion, 20% content creation. They still believed the promotion method was everything. Viva la Ezine Articles!
Long story short? Everyone was wrong.
What about the money?
Neither side of the 80/20 coin takes money into account at all. 10 years later, you’ll still find people arguing about the 80/20 rule of content at conferences. And money is still not taken into account by most.
Why does this matter?

Because money matters a lot to every business, especially in the ecommerce space. Pageviews don’t pay the rent.
People know content works in the sense that it seems to fuel growth, but it’s a big time commitment. Ecommerce entrepreneurs and marketers want to know they’re getting a return right away and exactly how to scale that return.
All they get is a whimsical, “Play the long game, the value will come.”
So content marketing gets overlooked in ecommerce a lot.(continue Reading:- https://www.ngfind.com/2018/02/how-to-turn-readers-into-revenue.html?m=1

If you want to know if JAMB has actually enabled the portal to reprint the 2018 UTME Exam Slip Showing Exam Centre, Venue and Time, The answer to this question at this time is: No

Nevertheless, we expect the printing of the exam slip or notification of candidates’ exam venue, date and time to commence any moment from now considering that the 2018 UTME is just one week away
Now to make it easy for candidates to keep tabs on this, we will use this thread to monitor when the 2018 printing of exam slip will commence.

We advise candidates to keep a close watch on their email addresses since JAMB may send exam slip notifications to candidates’ email addresses.

Once you get a notification to that effect from JAMB or able to print yours, please do not fail to let us know in the comment section so that others can reprint theirs.

Sports / Arsenal Star Aubameyang Makes Shock Resignation Claim After Man City Defeat by HotnaijaMarket(m): 10:01pm On Mar 02, 2018
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has revealed there is a feeling of resignation at Arsenal.

Arsenal were beaten 3-0 by Manchester City for the second time in a week last night.

Aubameyang missed a penalty last night in the second half with Arsenal already three down.

Arsenal are now 10 points behind fourth-place Tottenham and have almost no chance of making next season’s Champions League unless they win the Europa League.

And Aubameyang admits there is an air of resignation round the club.

“There is a lot of disappointment. We are not happy with our displays either tonight or Sunday,” he told French TV station SFR.

“We could not score that goal that could have pushed us on. City play very well too. The way they play, they are one of the best teams in the world.

“Obviously it is not easy when you cannot score a goal to give us extra energy. There are maybe some players who are a bit resigned.”

Arsenal are under fire after a humiliating week with the Carabao Cup final defeat and then last night’s match.

Arsene Wenger’s job is under threat and Thierry Henry has emerged as a candidate to take over.

The Arsenal hero is just 6/1 with Betfair and admitted last week he’d be keen to take over.

And Aubameyang admits the Europa League is their only chance of making the Champions League for next season.

“I think obviously the Europa League is a good option to qualify for the Champions League. Now the route is not easy – 10 points from fourth place,” Aubameyang said.

“It is going to be very hard but he will fight till the end. The championship is not finished – this is the Premier League,anything can happen.”

Science/Technology / Samsung Max App Lets You Take Control Of Data Usage, Privacy And More by HotnaijaMarket(m): 5:05am On Mar 02, 2018
Samsung Electronics has introduced Samsung Max, a new and free Android application designed to promote mobile data savings and application privacy management, with data usage monitoring and enhanced Wi-Fi security.
Samsung Max is replacing the discontinued Opera Max – one of the largest mobile virtual private networks (VPNs) in the world – and now, its two key features are accessible to millions of more Samsung users.
With data saving modes or privacy modes activated, all your network traffic from your apps is compressed and encrypted by Samsung Max’s servers before it reaches your Android device.
The app works by scanning users’ phones and identifying which apps are using the most data. It’s also able to actively compress images, videos, music files, and webpages in apps and browsers to save on data quotas. There are also options to manage data permissions for specific apps and to block auto background data usage.

If you’re often using public Wi-Fi, the app’s privacy features include a useful tool that encrypts open, untrusted, and unknown hotspots with just one tap. There is also tracker blocking and a Domain Name System (DNS) masking service.

Business / How To Send Promotional And Transactional Emails That Convert by HotnaijaMarket(m): 1:52am On Mar 02, 2018
We all know email marketing is still a powerful strategy, no matter how many clickbait headlines we read telling us the exact opposite.
But email is changing, it’s always changing.
How do you deal with promotional emails? Transactional emails? Is there even a difference? Seasonal emails (ahem, Black Friday Cyber Monday)? What’s the deal with deliverability and spam folders?
Above all, you want to send emails that are optimized and primed to convert. This is your guide to doing just that.

Free Ebook: How to Grow Your Ecommerce Business with Email Marketing
Whether you're just getting started or dreaming up your next big campaign, this email marketing guide will provide you with insights and ideas to help your business grow.
First, what are promotional emails and transactional emails?
There are two core categories of ecommerce emails: promotional and transactional.
Promotional emails are designed to raise awareness for a specific, you guessed it, promotion. So, for example, a Black Friday Cyber Monday email, a Father’s Day gift guide email, a summer savings email, a limited time only discount email, etc.

Transactional emails are more functional in nature. Welcome emails, reminders and notifications, receipts, order shipped emails, etc. all fall within this category.
Amanda Palmer email
Both promotional and transactional emails serve their own unique purpose, but they perform differently. According to IBM Marketing Cloud:

Transactional emails generate roughly twice the open rates of non-transactional emails.
Transactional emails have a median click through rate of 4.8%, exactly three times higher than the 1.6% non-transactional messages generate.

You can see the hard data here:
Open rate by message type

The mean unique open rate is 47.1% for transactional emails. For non-transactional emails, that number falls to just 21.6%. A big reason for this drastic difference? Transactional emails are not just expected, they’re anticipated.
They’re functional, right? They serve a genuine purpose, they don’t set off an internal spam filters in the brain.
Not only are transactional emails being opened more (Continue Reading:- https://www.ngfind.com/2018/03/how-to-send-promotional-and.html)

Sports / SAVAGE Wesley Sneijder Brutally Trolls Liverpool Over Failed Transfer by HotnaijaMarket(m): 5:16pm On Mar 01, 2018
Wesley Sneijder has taken a huge swipe at Liverpool over their failed attempt to sign him back in 2013.


The 33-year-old had had fallen out of favour with then boss Andrea Stramaccioni and was heading for an exit in January.


A host of European's elite club lined up to sign him, including the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United.


But Sneijder shocked everyone by agreeing to join Turkish giants Galatasary.


He was welcomed by thousands of fans when he touched down in Turkey but there was some confusion why, in his prime years at 28 years old, would Sneijder want to leave Europe's so-calledbig leagues.


And the midfielder has now revealed exactly why he rejected the opportunity to move to Anfield.


“Many clubs wanted to know when I was leaving Inter, and Liverpool was one of those clubs, so people were surprised I chose Galatasaray,” Sneijder said.


“Why Galatasaray and not Liverpool? But I am a winner.


"I play for prizes, so I went to Galatasaray because I thought that I would win more at Galatasaray and be champion than at Liverpool, and I think afterwards that I made the right choice.

Sports / OMG!! Neymar's Father Blasts PSG Over Claims Of No Surgery For Injury by HotnaijaMarket(m): 1:29pm On Feb 28, 2018
Neymar's father has quashed Paris Saint-Germain’s claim that his son won’t need to have an operation.

Neymar is poised to miss the second leg of the last-16 Champions League tie at home to Real Madrid next Tuesday after suffering a broken metatarsal and spraining his ankle in the 3-0 Ligue 1 win over Marseille on Sunday.

And Neymar Snr has confirmed his son will play no part against Real and will definitely need an operation.

He told ESPN Brazil: “Yes, of course he is out against Real Madrid.

“It is absurd if anybody thinks otherwise. At the end of April, Neymar will be able to play football.

“We are waiting for the (Brazilian national team's) doctor to arrive, he will have a meeting with the club.

“PSG already know that they will not be able to count on Neymar for at least six weeks because of this treatment.”

This is in stark contrast to what PSG boss Unai Emery’s comments on Neymar.

He said: “The information that Neymar will be operated is false.

“I spoke with the doctor on Tuesday morning and he explained to me what the exams revealed.

“I also talked about it with (PSG sports director) Antero Henrique, the president and the player.

“Neymar is the first who wants to play every game, for Real Madrid, he is very focused.

“I think there is a small chance for him tobe ready for the match.”

Sports / Report: Liverpool Close In On Summer Deal For AS Roma Goalie Allison by HotnaijaMarket(m): 5:38pm On Feb 25, 2018
Liverpool are closing in on the signing of Roma goalkeeper Alisson with the Reds reportedly in advanced talks to sign the Brazil international.

Liverpool want Alisson to solve their goalkeeping conundrum with Simon Mingolet set to be shown the door and Loris Karius still striving for consistency.


The Reds have not had a solid No 1 since the days of Pepe Reina and, though they have been tipped to sign Keylor Navas and Jack Butland, Alisson is their top target.


And Brazilian website UOL Esporte say the Roma star is closing in on a sensational move to Merseyside.


The report claim Liverpool’s talks for the goalkeeper are in the advanced stages.


But the 25-year-old has made a move to Liverpool his priority in a stunning transfer twist.


Alisson has kept an impressive 14 clean sheets from 32 appearances so far this season.


And it appears that, if UOL Esporte’s report is to be believed, Reds fans can expect a tougher defence next term.


Meanwhile, BT sport pundit Owen Hargreaves has told Liverpool to do whatever it takes to secure Alisson’s signature.


“He’s brilliant,” Hargreaves said on BBC Radio 5 Live.


“Everybody is raving about Ederson, another Brazilian goalkeeper… these two players are exceptional.“


Liverpool desperately need a goalkeeper and he would be a record for a goalkeeper again.


“They need a goalkeeper, even though Karius has quietly done quite well, but he’s probably not at the level he needs to be if they want to win a Premier League and a Champions League title.”

Sports / AC Milan's Frank Kessie: I Want To Play For Manchester United by HotnaijaMarket(m): 5:18pm On Feb 25, 2018
AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie would love Jose Mourinho to fulfil his dream and make him into a Manchester United star this summer.

Kessie, 21, joined the San Siro club on a two-year loan deal in June 2017 with an obligation to buy.


But the Ivory Coast box-to-box man has set his heart on a move to Old Trafford in the future.


He’s been targeted by most of the Premier League with Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton and Manchester City joining Manchester United as members of Kessie’s fan club.


But Mourinho is at the top of Kessie’s wish list as the marauding midfielder, likened to Etihad legend Yaya Toure, continues to earn rave notices in Italy.


Milan have struggled this season in SerieA but Kessie has become an influential player for them and starred in December’s Coppa Italia win against City rivals Inter.

Sports / Video: Real Madrid 4 – 0 Alaves [la Liga] Highlights 2017/18 by HotnaijaMarket(m): 10:55pm On Feb 24, 2018
Karim Benzema turned jeers into cheers as Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale also starred on a fine outing for Madrid’s ‘BBC’ against Alaves.

Cristiano Ronaldo passed up the chance to complete a hat-trick and allowed Karim Benzema to complete a 4-0 win over Alaves with a late penalty as Real Madrid’s ‘BBC’reunited to fine effect.


Ronaldo struck either side of Gareth Bale’s strike 28 seconds into the second half, while Benzema recovered from an abject start to the match by assisting Los Blancos’ first two goals.


Having heard his team-mate jeered earlier in the contest, the Portugal international then selflessly let Benzema convert an 89th-minute penalty after Victor Laguardia brought down a marauding Bale.


The result means Madrid have won five consecutive matches in all competitions for the first time this season and Zidane will draw particular encouragement from his headline attacking stars operating so brilliantly in tandem.


A fourth consecutive LaLiga victory was ultimately too much to ask for a resurgent Alaves, who showed plenty more of the their encouraging form under Abelardo before being outgunned, Galactico-style.


100 – Real Madrid are the first Spanish team to score 100 goals in all competitions this season. Hammer.

Alaves should have been behind in the 18th minute when Mateo Kovacicand Theo Hernandez orchestrated a lightning counter-attack, but the much-maligned Benzema lost his footing to skew wastefully wide and draw whistles from a section of the Madrid faithful.


Benzema proved a more effective provider in the hosts’ next attack of note, skipping around Alexis and crossing for Bale to send a spectacular overhead kick just wide.


The visitors grew into the contest and Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas reacted sharply to thwart Alfonso Pedraza low down to his left.


Bale failed to punish a poor clearance from Navas’ opposite number Fernando Pacheco at the other end, but Madrid led in the 44th minute.


After collecting a cute backheel from Benzema, Ronaldo turned to produced an assured left-footed finish and the five-time Ballon d’Or winner gestured towards his team-mate during the celebrations, seemingly asking for the crowd to show some appreciation.


Benzema did indeed receive some warm cheers when he cut inside to fizz a shot over in first-half stoppage time, an attempt that came after Madrid failed to clear a corner and Navas patted away an Alexis strike at his near post.


Alexis was culpable in a nightmare start to the second half for Alaves, Benzema snapping the ball off his toes.


The Frenchman had Ronaldo and Bale charging forwards to his right and left.


He elected to pick out Bale, who vindicated the decision by clipping a low shot past Pacheco.

Madrid began slicing Alaves open at will and it was a surprise of sorts that it took until the 61st minute for goal number three to arrive.


Bale swept a pass out to Lucas Vazquez on the right and Ronaldo timed his run perfectly to convert the Spain winger’s low cross for his 28th goal of the season.


Lucas thrashed into the side-netting chasing and was again denied the goal his efforts deserved 15 minutes from time, this time by the impressive Pacheco.

Business / How To Be A Student Entrepreneur And Cater For Yourself In School by HotnaijaMarket(m): 2:29pm On Feb 24, 2018
As students or recent graduates, we can relate with the cost of managing ourselves while in school. Truly, the costs are probably daunting. The cost of just a year in college/university can go as high as #100,000 and above for those in Nigeria and about $2,300 in the US.
The four or more years in college/university can be expensive, but its still an opportunity for students to gain practical business skills as well as a more traditional academic education. This is a combination that will hopefully give them a basis for entrepreneurship that will stay with them throughout their many careers and help them find opportunities that will enable them explore their passions as well as accumulate wealth. Moreover such people are the major people creating jobs today in the world.
There are many things you can try out as a student while in school to help manage the cost of been in school. You can even go as far as getting enough to pay your fees, rent, dues and also feed comfortably without stress.
But first, here are some tips I want you to have in mind:




1. You Have To Be Motivated:
An option that is rarely considered is for a student to start their own business in school, but unfortunately this is not a choice most university/college students are willing to make.
People easily conclude that this is almost an impossible mission but they forget that most businesses don't need to have employees or complex operations in order to generate profits. Some businesses don't even require much of your time.

You just need to identify a product people want to purchase and you can sell it at a profit. You can also identify services people always look out and you can provide them at your own fee. If you do this well and generate self-sustaining income, you can minimize the amount of times you'll need to call your sponsor for help. You'll also get this feeling of achievement and focus on your studies knowing you are well catered for.
Those who are taking business-related courses in college can even go ahead to apply their newly learned knowledge in business.


2. Be Passionate About Your Hobby:
Whatever your hobby is, learn to expand on it. Your hobby can become small business opportunities that can actually create mini-incomes that will help you achieve financial goals and provide a basis for future entrepreneurial endeavor.
For instance, if you love taking pictures, you can get a camera and hook up with social directors in school so you can be in charge of photography during events.
If you love swimming, visit the school pool once in a while and you'll find people who can't swim, meet them and offer to teach them for a fee.
Even if you love reading or writing, you can decide to help other students read and summarize recommended texts or simply do other assignments for them at a fee.

3. Improve On Your Skills:
Every student has a skill (try to find out yours). It could be ICT skills, communication skills, coaching skills, writing skills, cooking skills, and so on. Whatever you know how to do, improve on it and use it to get yourself an extra income.
If you are very good in something, you can choose to tutor other students who would be interested in learning it.
If you are also very good in a particular course, you can fix tutorial classes for other students who find it difficult to understand the course. Doing these can be rewarding and can provide a good income stream.
