Jokes Etc / How Will You Dance When You Find Your Name In The Book Of Life?(check Out Pix) by naijanews1: 3:28pm On Sep 15, 2016
Making heaven in this present world of ours is really no child's place. The reason is simple; our generation is plagued with what I call 'vulnerability to sin.'

There are just too many distractions that could make one miss heaven and these are not necessary far away things. These distractions are found right within your room down to your going out to your place of work, academic environment, social gathering and sundry.
Indeed making heaven deserves some level of celebration not because you are smarter are better but because you were able to hold on to the help rendered to you by the One who gives the grace.

The question now is, how would you celebrate when you make heaven on the final day? Will it be like these fellas are celebrating?

Sports / Final Result: Man United 1 Vs Man City 2 by naijanews1: 12:36pm On Sep 10, 2016
There is no denying that this is an epic derby. The game has kicked off with Mark Clattenburg being the centre referee. Man city seems to be in full control of the game with Kevin De Bruyne doing a lot of work ere. Good enough for man city, Iheanacho is the false number 9. It's Wayne with the ball on a counter, made a swift pass to Pogba who balloons the ball to the orbit. He has got to be more precise owing to the the big money spent on him.

Bailly commits foul on De Bruyne 22 yards from goal. Kolarov takes the free kick, but it is no where near the target. Man city expectedly are in total control of the game winning 70% of possession and it's 11 minutes gone.

Goalllllllll scored by De Bruyne. Heading pass from Iheanacho and De Bruyne buries the ball coolly. Man Utd on the counter , passes to Ibrahimovich but the ball was cleared. Both teams are working hard to please their managers. City still pressing for another goal with man utd having much defending to do.

Man utd are trying all they can to break their city rival's defence but it remains a brick with city with much of the possession. Good foot work from Iheanacho; city almost made it 2 there. Iheanacho with the second goal in this fierce derby. He looked to be off side but the goal will stand. Mourinho is furious with his players. Guardiola effect seems to be playing on the team already. They are in full control of this game. Pogba seems to be missing in this game. Ibrahimovich with the goal; hope alive. Bravo was not bravo with the ball. What a weak catch. That goal could open the game again. ibra almost made it 2:22

IT'S HALF TIME Man Utd 1 Man city 2

Man utd are so far in control of this second half. They are playing with so much confidence. City have a lot of worrying to do concerning their keeper, Bravo.

Sports / Manchester United Vs Manchester City Statistics by naijanews1: 3:30pm On Sep 09, 2016
Last season’s ‘El Cashico’ between Real Madrid and Barcelona tipped the scales at a whopping £562million – based on players’ previous transfer fees. However, taking a look at the 22 players set to suit up for the Manchester derby according to Sky, it blows the La Liga showdown out of the water at a whopping £685.7m.

Of course that figure is influenced heavily by Paul Pogba’s record-breaking £109m move back to Man United from Juventus – with £20m going straight into agent Mino Raiola’s pocket. You cannot leave the world’s most expensive player out of this team. Graceful on the ball, hard in the tackle and the sort of vision we’ve only yet seen glimpses of, Pogba is going to have a huge say in whether United can lift the title this season.

Phones / Water And Dust Resistant Iphone 7 by naijanews1: 10:33am On Sep 09, 2016
Forbes report that Apple has done the unthinkable, fitted both the new iPhones 7 and 7s with just a single Lightning port. Adaptors are joint in the box, but users will now not be able to charge phone and listen to music with wired headphones at the same time in the new iPhone 7. Compared to the previous iPhone 6s, there is little change from the design of the last two iPhones. The antenna strips that run across the back of the iPhone now run round the edges, which makes them slightly less visible.

The big news is these are the first iPhones to be equipped with quad core processors. Apple claims they will deliver 40% faster CPU performance and up to 50% faster graphics performance than the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus. On the surface, iPhone 7 looks much the same as the iPhone 6 and 6s. [url][/url]http://howlifeworkz..com.ng/2016/09/water-and-dust-resistant-iphone.html

Phones / NCC Seals Nokia Office For Operating Without License by naijanews1: 9:14am On Sep 08, 2016
The enforcement unit of the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, yesterday sealed Nokia -Alcatel office located at CBC tower, Lekki, Lagos for failing to pay N2million sales and installation license under category ‘A’.

The Head, enforcement unit of the telecom regulatory authority, Salisu Abdul while speaking to Technology Journalists shortly after sealing the office said that the mobile equipment manufacturer has been operating in Nigeria without the license for many years.

He said that the license gives Nokia the power to operate wireless transmission equipment and sales of manufacturing of equipment among others, he said. He informed that Nokia had applied for the license about three months ago but did not complete the process. “It is criminal for any service provider to operate in the country without license. We have sealed the office until they comply. We have to charge them based on the number of years they have operated without license. We will use our discretion to charge them.

“The NCC is the sole regulator of the telecom sector in Nigeria and one of our functions is the issuance of telecom licenses. In one of our monitoring activities, we discovered that Nokia-Alcatel has not obtained the required authorization to operate their services in this country. “As a matter of fairness and transparency, we decided to pay them a visit.

We however discovered that they only applied for license about three months back and are yet to complete the process for the license. Basically, we have decided to seal off the premises of Nokia until they obtain the requisite authorization. “The license is barely two million naira to obtain. We have sealed off the premises and we will not open it till they comply.

The penalty is dependent on the number of years they’ve been on ground. We might have to levy a fine against Nokia before unsealing the premises. “The license fee is two million naira. We all know that Nokia has been in this country for a long period of time and for any entity to provide a telecommunications service in this country, they ought to have consulted the NCC to obtain the requisite license.

Nokia is involved in equipment manufacturing, supply and installation. What they ought to have obtained from the NCC is Sales and Installation license” he explained. It would be recalled that Nokia had bought its smaller French rival Alcatel-Lucent in a 15.6 billion Euro ($16.6 billion) all-stock deal. The combined entity, now called Nokia Corporation, has become the second largest mobile equipment manufacturer in the world with an estimated market share of 35%, close behind Swedish giant Ericsson which has an estimated 40 per cent share.

Politics / Buhari Reveals Amount Recovered From Looters by naijanews1: 6:17pm On Sep 02, 2016
Looting is no new phenomena in Nigeria. Some people will agree with me that corruption has been a plague right from the time of our fore fathers and nobody has been able to nip it in the bud. The coming of President Buhari has sent much shivers in the mind of those that can define themselves as "Corrupt". One of the charisma that earned Buhari ASO Villa was his dogged and rugged dislike for corruption; what's more, when he came into power lots of arrests and detentions started and so much mouth watering amount of money has so far been recouped back from lookters.
