This is Serious

Real men who can truly love a woman do exist
but they are hard to find but these are signs to
watch out for in a serial womaniser.

Many of us are still looking for The One – the guy
we will spend the rest of our lives with. Our soul
mate who will be there for us all the time, loving
us, comforting us, sharing moments with us and
protecting us.

Finding the one guy that is perfect for you is not
easy, and many of us are scared of making the
same dating mistakes over again. Many of us have
dated the creeps, the losers, the lazies, the crazies,
the overly sickly sweets, the FIFA players, the
machos, the mommies boys, and the over
achievers who we can’t keep up with. But what
about the one type of man we all fear the most,
The Womanizer?

The womanizer is a man who isn’t ready to settle
down yet, but he’ll do anything to convince you that
he is. He’ll tell you you’re the love of your life and
that you’ve got great eyes, great legs and great
everything.

But how do you know when you’ve got a
womanizer on your hands and not the genuine
article? Let’s take a look at the top 10 warning
signs of a womanizer.


1. He Gets Your Name Wrong

Yesterday you were Rita, today you’re Lisa and
tomorrow you’ll be Priscilla. Sure, he says he’s got
fifteen aunties and five different moms but you
should know deep down that he’s actually got too
many single ladies in his life.


2. He’s Super Vain

For a lot of women, having a great sense of
humour is the first trait we look for in a
prospective partner. But if a man is a womanizer,
it’s highly likely that his sense of humour cuts
dead as soon as you touch his immaculate hair.

Don’t try to touch his suits either because they
cost a bomb.

“Please tell me you did not just put my dry-clean
only suit in the wash? I. MIGHT. DIE.”


3. He Never Lives Up To His Word

We’ve all felt a rush of blood to our heads as our
man tells us what he’s going to do for us. He’s
going to take us away for a romantic weekend,
introduced us to his family, and basically capture
the moon for us.

It all sounds so exciting and we instantly buy into
his dream. His words have swept us off our feet.

After a few weeks and months, though, he still
hasn’t made good on his word. You’ve still not
been away for a weekend together (as a matter of
fact, he seems to spend most of his weekends
away on his own), and you haven’t even met his
family. Is this guy for real and are his endless list
of excuses just a cover-up? You bet!


4. He Has A Reputation

If women have come up to you or messaged you
on Facebook that your new man has got a
reputation, you shouldn’t swiftly dismiss this
accusations as manifestations of jealousy. Instead,
you should hear them out and make up your own
mind.


5. He Only Seems To Appear Later At Night

From my experience, this is the biggest tell-tale
sign of them all that you’ve got a perennial
womanizer on your hands.

Your man should be available day and night, and
not just “any time after ten PM.” It just isn’t good
enough that he only makes a cameo appearance
when the sun has set. Sure, he tells you that he’s
been working late or whatnot, but you know deep
down that something just doesn’t seem right here.

A man who isn’t a womanizer will want to see you
at all times, and not at the witching hour only.


6. When He Compliments You All The Time

They say that when a guy compliments us too
much it usually means they’re feeling guilty about
something, or they’ve got something to hide.

Sometimes, guys will shower us with compliments
whenever they’re feeling good about something –
such as a spot of womanising.

When a man looks into your eyes and tells you
how beautiful you are, it’s sincere and genuine.

But when he’s hyper and won’t stop covering you
with compliments about your eyes, your legs, your
hair, your bum et cetera, you should be on your
guard.


7. He Moves Really Fast

You haven’t even introduced yourself and he
already wants to buy a house with you and have all
your babies. Red flag.


8. He Locks His Phone

We all locked our phones when we were kids (still
no idea why), but no normal adult does this in
2016.

Except womanizers, of course.

If you notice that his phone is constantly buzzing
and he’s always texting someone, it’s a pretty big
warning sign. But if he also locks his phone so
that you can never access it, it’s a full on red-alert
that he’s not the man for you.


9. He Doesn’t Call Back For Ages

You’ve just had a great night with him that you
both seemed to enjoy. You had a laugh, some
dinner and a bit of romance. It went so well.

But then he doesn’t return your call for days
afterwards. What gives?

Eventually, of course, he will return and say that he
was busy or something equally empty. He’ll want
another giggle, some more dinner and a bit more
romance again.

Take all this as a warning sign. He only wants you
when he’s got a few needs to fulfil. Once they’ve
been taken care of, he’s off to look for other
adventures.


10.He Flirts On Social Media

Facebook is often a great place to find out whether
or not your man is a womanizer. If he isn’t a
womanizer, his photos and comments will be
totally normal and respectful. There might be
pictures of him enjoying a drink with the lads, and
maybe one or two of his mom.

If, however, he can’t get enough of the opposite
sex, you can expect to see lots of photos of him
on regular nights out with lots of different girls.

You’ll also notice flirty comments and invitations
to hang out with all kinds of women you’ve never
heard of before. No matter how much he tells you
he loves you, it’s clear that he can’t control his
appetite for girls.

Accomplished (NEGATIVELY)

The newly formed Peoples Mega Party, PMP, has
disclosed that many members of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, have joined its fold.

National chairman of the party, Chief Perry Opara,
who made this claim at the inauguration of the
party’s new national administrative headquarters in
Abuja, on Tuesday, said the party had resisted
attempts by moneybags from other political parties
to hijack it.

Disclosing that some rich politicians had been
approaching the party leaders with tempting offers
to take over the party, he said he told them that
the party was not for sale as the vision behind its
formation was to have a platform that young
Nigerians could use to contest elective offices in
future.

Opara said: “Five days ago, a group of PDP
members came here to say they are defecting to
the PMP.

“PDP professionals’ forum has also declared for
the PMP, while some aggrieved members of PDP
stakeholders’ forum in Abuja also defected to the
PMP.”

He, however, assured that the, “hidden powers and
individuals behind the PMP will be unveiled in the
next seven weeks,” to put to rest speculations over
the sponsors of the new party.

PMP, which is seeking registration from the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC,
as one of the recognised political parties in the
country, also stated that some members of the
Labour Party, LP, and the All Progressives Grand
Alliance, APGA, had made similar advances.

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed
says degraded insurgent group, Boko Haram, are
responsible for the ongoing scarcity of tomato in
the country.

Speaking on Channels Television, the Minister said
farmers have been forced to quit the North East
due to the level of insecurity in the region.

According to Mohammed,“People talk about the
price of tomato but they forget one thing; they
forget that the price of tomato today is a direct
result of the fact that we have lost two years
harvest to Boko Haram insurgency.

“Most of the people you see riding Okada
(motorcycles) in Lagos are people who would have
been in the farm to produce consumable items.”

Attributing the scarcity of tomatoes to insurgency,
the Minister said, “Do you farm where there is war?
We have lost two seasons of harvest in addition
we have had very poor rainfall last year and this
year. These are the combined responsible for the
scarcity of tomato. Go and ask economists and
agriculturists, they will tell you.”

IPOB are armless, these Nigeria's Newspapers

Someone recently asked me via the comment
box that he is in a mess after forgetting his
Apple ID. So i decided to provide solution to
this because i know he is not the only one
facing this issue right now and even later in the
future.



How To Recover/Reset A Forgotten Apple ID
Password


If you have forgotten your Apple ID password or
having trouble signing in to your account, you
can simply reset it via the web browser on your
iPhone or iPad or use a PC.


It is no surprise that some people forget their
ID and in some cases, while trying to reset it
and get it back, it becomes worst maybe
because they used the double verification
method but be it as it may, i will show you
how to recover it successfully without facing
much troubles. Follow me along.


USING SECURITY QUESTION AND EMAIL TO
RESET APPLE PASSWORD
Just like in the Google's android password
recovery, once you can remember the email
you used while creating the account or the
security question, the job will be a lot easier.
And i am utilizing that in this case. Follow the
below steps.

First Step
Go to the web browser on your iOS device or
PC and visit Google Id Account Page


Second Step
Now on the page, enter your email address
which you used while creating your Apple ID
and click on the "Continue from" bottom.


Third Step
You will be prompted to the next screen and
you will be asked where you want to reset your
password and get a mail or you want to answer
the Security question and reset the password
right way.


Fourth Step
If you select email address then they will send
you a password recovery email with
instructions and following that email, you can
easily reset the password.


However, if you have already set up two-step
verification then you need the recovery key that
you got while setting up two-step verification.
You will also need a trusted device to reset
and change the password. If you have forgotten
the recovery code by any chance, then you
can’t reset the password, it's unfortunate
unfortunately.

OK nah

Oh ! this Man sef

My compatriots, It is one year today since our administration came into office. It has been a year of triumph, consolidation, pains and achievements. By age, instinct and experience, my preference is to look forward, to prepare for the challenges that lie ahead and rededicate the administration to the task of fixing Nigeria.

But i believe we can also learn from the obstacles we have overcome and the progress we made thus far, to help strengthen the plans that we have in place to put nigeria back on the path of progress.

We affirm our belief in democracy as the form of government that best assures the active participation and actual benefit of the people. Despite the many years of hardship and disappointment the people of this nation have proved inherently good, industrious tolerant, patient and generous.

The past years have witnessed huge flows of oil revenues. From 2010 average oil prices were $100 per barrel. But economic and security conditions were deteriorating. We campaigned and won the election on the platform of restoring security, tackling corruption and restructuring the economy. On our arrival, the oil price had collapsed to as low as $30 per barrel and we found nothing had been kept for the rainy day. Oil prices have been declining since 2014 but due to the neglect of the past, the country was not equipped to halt the economy from declining.

The infrastructure, notably rail, power, roads were in a decrepit state. All the four refineries were in a state of disrepair, the pipelines and depots neglected.

Huge debts owed to contractors and suppliers had accumulated. Twenty-seven states could not pay salaries for months. In the north-east, boko haram had captured 14 local governments, driven the local authorities out, hoisted their flags. Elsewhere, insecurity was palpable; corruption and impunity were the order of the day. In short, we inherited a state near collapse.

On the economic front, all oil dependent countries, nigeria included, have been struggling since the drop in prices. Many oil rich states have had to take tough decisions similar to what we are doing. The world, nigeria included has been dealing with the effects of three significant and simultaneous global shocks starting in 2014:
a 70% drop in oil prices.

Global growth slowdown.
Normalization of monetary policy by the united states federal reserve.
Our problems as a government are like that of a farmer who in a good season harvests ten bags of produce. The proceeds enable him to get by for rest of the year. However, this year he could only manage 3 bags from his farm. He must now think of other ways to make ends meet.

From day one, we purposely set out to correct our condition, to change nigeria. We reinforced and galvanized our armed forces with new leadership and resources. We marshaled our neighbours in a joint task force to tackle and defeat boko haram. By the end of december 2015, all but pockets and remnants had been routed by our gallant armed forces. Our immediate focus is for a gradual and safe return of internally displaced persons in safety and dignity and for the resumption of normalcy in the lives of people living in these areas.

Efcc was given the freedom to pursue corrupt officials and the judiciary was alerted on what nigerians expect of them in the fight against corruption. On the economy, in particular foreign exchange and fuel shortages, our plan is to save foreign exchange by fast tracking repair of the refineries and producing most of our fuel requirements at home. And by growing more food in nigeria, mainly rice, wheat and sugar we will save billions of dollars in foreign exchange and drastically reduce our food import bill.

We resolved to keep the naira steady, as in the past, devaluation had done dreadful harm to the nigerian economy. Furthermore, i support the monetary authority’s decision to ensure alignment between monetary policy and fiscal policy. We shall keep a close look on how the recent measures affect the naira and the economy. But we cannot get away from the fact that a strong currency is predicated on a strong economy. And a strong economy pre-supposes an industrial productive base and a steady export market. The measures we must take, may lead to hardships. The problems nigerians have faced over the last year have been many and varied. But the real challenge for this government has been reconstructing the spine of the nigerian state. The last twelve months have been spent collaborating with all arms of government torevive our institutions so that they are more efficient and fit for purpose:

that means a bureaucracy better able to develop and deliver policythat means an independent judiciary, above suspicion and able to defend citizen’s rights and dispense justice equitably.

That means a legislature that actually legislates effectively and
above all; that means political parties and politicians committed to serving the nigerian people rather than themselves.

These are the pillars of the state on which democracy can take root and thrive. But only if they are strong and incorruptible. Accordingly, we are working very hard to introduce some vital structural reforms in the way we conduct government business and lay a solid foundation on which we can build enduring change.

An important first step has been to get our housekeeping right. So we have reduced the extravagant spending of the past. We started boldly with the treasury single account, stopping the leakages in public expenditure.

We then identified forty-three thousand ghost workers through the integrated payroll and personal information system. That represents pay packets totaling n4.2 billion stolen every month. In addition, we will save twenty-three billion per annum from official travelling and sitting allowances alone.

Furthermore, the efficiency unit will cut costs and eliminate duplications in ministries and departments. Every little saving helps. The reduction in the number of ministries and work on restructuring and rationalization of the mdas is well underway. When this work is complete we will have a leaner, more efficient public service that is fit for the purpose of changing nigeria for the good and for good.

As well as making savings, we have changed the way public money is spent. In all my years as a public servant, i have never come across the practice of padding budgets. I am glad to tell you now we not only have a budget, but more importantly, we have a budget process that is more transparent, more inclusive and more closely tied to our development priorities than in the recent past. 30% of the expenditure in this budget is devoted to capital items. Furthermore, we are projecting non-oil revenues to surpass proceeds from oil. Some critics have described the budget exercise as clumsy. Perhaps. But it was an example of consensus building, which is integral to democratic government. In the end we resolved our differences.

We have, therefore, delivered significant milestones on security, corruption and the economy. In respect of the economy, i would like to directly address you on the very painful but inevitable decisions we had to make in the last few weeks specifically on the pump price of fuel and the more flexible exchange rate policy announced by the central bank. It is even more painful for me that a major producer of crude oil with four refineries that once exported refined products is today having to import all of its domestic needs. This is what corruption and mismanagement has done to us and that is why we must fight these ills.

As part of the foundation of the new economy we have had to reform how fuel prices had traditionally been fixed. This step was taken only after protracted consideration of its pros and cons. After comprehensive investigation my advisers and i concluded that the mechanism was unsustainable.

We are also engaged in making recoveries of stolen assets some of which are in different jurisdictions. The processes of recovery can be tedious and time consuming, but today i can confirm that thus far: significant amount of assets have been recovered. A considerable portion of these are at different stages of recovery. Full details of the status and categories of the assets will now be published by the ministry of information and updated periodically. When forfeiture formalities are completed these monies will be credited to the treasury and be openly and transparently used in funding developmental projects and the public will be informed.

On the niger delta, we are committed to implementing the united nations environment programme report and are advancing clean-up operations. I believe the way forward is to take a sustainable approach to address the issues that affect the delta communities.

Re-engineering the amnesty programmes is an example of this. The recent spate of attacks by militants disrupting oil and power installations will not distract us from engaging leaders in the region in addressing niger delta problems. If the militants and vandals are testing our resolve, they are much mistaken. We shall apprehend the perpetrators and their sponsors and bring them to justice.

The policy measures and actions taken so far are not to be seen as some experiment in governance. We are fully aware that those vested interests who have held nigeria back for so long will not give up without a fight. They will sow divisions, sponsor vile press criticisms at home and abroad, incite the public in an effort to create chaos rather than relinquish the vice-like grip they have held on nigeria.

The economic misfortune we are experiencing in the shape of very low oil prices has provided us with an opportunity to restructure our economy and diversify. We are in the process of promoting agriculture, livestocks, exploiting our solid mineral resources and expanding our industrial and manufacturing base. That way, we will import less and make the social investments necessary to allow us to produce a large and skilled workforce.

Central bank of nigeria will offer more fiscal incentives for business that prove capable of manufacturing products that are internationally competitive. We remain committed to reforming the regulatory framework, for investors by improving the ease of doing business in nigeria.

Meanwhile, the first steps along the path of self-sufficiency in rice, wheat and sugar – big users of our scarce foreign exchange – have been taken. The labour intensive farming enterprise (life), will boost the economy and ensure inclusive growth in long neglected communities. Special intervention funds through the bank of agriculture will provide targeted support. Concerns remain about rising cost of foods such as maize, rice, millet, beans and gari. Farmers tell me that they are worried about the cost of fertilizers, pesticides and the absence of extension services. The federal and state governments are on the same page in tackling these hurdles in our efforts at increased food production and ultimately food security.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the increasing role that our women are playing in revitalizing the agricultural sector. Modern farming is still hard and heavy work and i salute our nigerian women in sharing this burden. In this respect i am very pleased to announce that the government will shortly be launching the national women’s empowerment fund, which i have approved to provide n1.6 billion in micro-finance loans to women across the nation to assist in rehabilitating the economies of rural communities, particularly those impacted by the insurgency and conflict.

With respect to solid minerals, the minister has produced a roadmap where we will work closely with the world bank and major international investors to ensure through best practices and due diligence that we choose the right partners. Illegal mining remains a problem and we have set up a special security team to protect our assets. Special measures will be in place to protect miners in their work environment.

For too long, ours has been a society that neglects the poor and victimizes the weak. A society that promotes profit and growth over development and freedom. A society that fails to recognize that, to quote the distinguished economist amartya sen “ poverty is not just lack of money. It is not having the capability to realize one’s full potential as a human being.”

So, today, i am happy to formally launch, by far the most ambitious social protection programme in our history. A programme that both seeks to start the process of lifting many from poverty, while at the same time creating the opportunity for people to fend for themselves. In this regard, five hundred billion naira has been appropriated in the 2016 budget for social intervention programmes in five key areas.

We are committed to providing job creation opportunities for five hundred thousand teachers and one hundred thousand artisans across the nation. 5.5 million children are to be provided with nutritious meals through our school feeding programme to improve learning outcomes, as well as enrolment and completion rates.

The conditional cash transfer scheme will provide financial support for up to 1 million vulnerable beneficiaries, and complement the enterprise programme – which will target up to 1 million market women; four hundred and sixty thousand artisans; and two hundred thousand agricultural workers, nationwide. Finally, through the education grant scheme, we will encourage students studying sciences, technology, engineering and maths, and lay a foundation for human capital development for the next generation
I would like to pay a special tribute to our gallant men and women of the armed forces who are in harm’s way so that the rest of us can live and go about our business in safety. Their work is almost done. The nation owes them a debt of gratitude.

Abroad, we want to assure our neighbours, friends and development partners that nigeria is firmly committed to democratic principles. We are ready partners in combating terrorism, cyber crimes, control of communicable diseases and protection of the environment. Following on the paris agreement, cop 21, we are fully committed to halting and reversing desertification. Elsewhere, we will intensify efforts to tackle erosion, ocean surge, flooding and oil spillage which i referred to earlier by implementing the united nations environment programme (unep) report.

We are grateful to the international community notably france, the us, uk and china for their quick response in helping to tackle the recent ebola outbreak in our sub-region. We also acknowledge the humanity shown by the italian and german governments in the treatment of boat people, many fleeing from our sub-region because of lack of economic opportunity. We thank all our partners especially several countries in the eu.

We appreciate the valuable work that the un agencies, particularly unicef, icrc, the world food program have been doing. We must also appreciate the world bank, the gates foundation, the global fund and educate a child of qatar are for the excellent work in our health, education and other sectors.

Fellow citizens let me end on a happy note. To the delight of all, two of the abducted chibok girls have regained their freedom. During the last one year, not a single day passed without my agonizing about these girls. Our efforts have centred around negotiations to free them safely from their, mindless, captors. We are still pursuing that course.

Their safety is of paramount concern to me and i am sure to most nigerians. I am very worried about the conditions those still captured might be in. Today i re-affirm our commitment to rescuing our girls. We will never stop until we bring them home safely. As i said before, no girl should be put through the brutality of forced marriage and every nigerian girl has the right to an education and a life choice.

I thank you and appeal to you to continue supporting the government’s efforts to fix nigeria.

YES, THEY ARE ALWAYS STEALING, THOSE THEIR STAFF ARE CRIMINALS, THATS WHY I DON'T PUT HUGE AMOUNT IN MY ACCOUNT THERE.NO DAY THAT PASSES WITH GETTING AN SMS ALERT .DEDUCTION THIS OR THAT. I AM MOVING ALL MY MONEY OUT OF THERE THIS WEEK.

Some stories are hard to believe

Oga ,your economy is running down everyday , poor masses suffering and you are busy....,

Even though we use our iPhones all day, every day, there are still a handful of features that are relatively unknown.
Some of these features are buried in the Settings menu, while others are hidden in plain sight.
Plus, there are a few things Siri can do for you that you may not know about.


(Note: Most of these features are available in iOS 8 and higher, while some are available in iOS 9 and higher.)

Respond to texts without unlocking your phone.
You can respond to texts directly from your lock screen by pulling down on the notification drawer and swiping over to the left on the text notification. You’ll see a “Reply” option, and tapping it will let you type a response without having to unlock your iPhone.
Respond to texts while you’re in an app.

If you’re in an app, you can swipe down from the top and access the notification drawer to answer a text the same way you would on the lock screen.
See which apps drain the most battery.
Want to know why your iPhone battery is draining faster than usual? Head over to Settings > Battery. This will tell you which apps are occupying the most battery power.
View every photo someone has texted you, and vice versa
There’s an easy way to view every photo and video you’ve sent someone. Just open the messaging thread in the “Messages” app and press the “Details” button in the upper right corner.
Send audio and video messages that self-destruct.
You can send audio snippets and video messages that expire after two minutes. If you head to Settings>Messages and scroll to the bottom, you’ll notice a section for audio and video messages. You can choose to let them expire after two minutes or never.

Share your current location with a friend.

If you don’t feel like explaining where you are, you can simply send your location to another person via text message. Just tap the “Details” button in the upper right corner of your message thread and select “Send My Location.”


Let your friends track where you go.
If you want your friends or a family member to be able to track you as you move, you can complete the same steps mentioned in the previous slide and choose the “Share My Location” instead of “Send My Location.” You can choose to share your location for one hour, until the end of the day, or indefinitely.

Mute text messages.
You can mute text-message notifications for individual contacts and conversations. Just head over to your messaging thread and switch the “Do Not Disturb.”

Leave a group conversation
Group texts can be effective for reaching many people at once, but also annoying. If you want to leave a group conversation, simply tap the “Details” button in the upper-right corner of the group conversation and select “Leave Conversation.”

Name a group conversation.
If you frequently chat with the same group or are talking with multiple people about a particular topic, naming a group conversation can be helpful. To do this, head over to “Details” in the message thread and fill in the “Group Name” field with an appropriate title.

Multitask within emails.
If you’re in the middle of an email, you don’t need to trash it to return to your inbox and browse other messages. As you’re composing an email, simply tap the top of the message where it says either “New Message” or the subject and drag it down to the bottom of the screen. This will push the message to the bottom so you can look at other emails. When you want to return, simply tap the email to keep editing it.

Forward text messages to other contacts.
You can forward text messages to other contacts the same way you would an email. Just double tap the message you want to forward, press the “More” option that appears next to the text, and that specific sentence, word, or phrase will appear copy and pasted into a new message. Fill in the “To” field at the top to forward that message to someone else.

Use Siri hands-free.
You don’t always have to hold down the home button to launch Siri. If you have the new iPhone 6S, just say the phrase “Hey Siri” to launch Apple’s virtual assistant. (Any phones older than the iPhone 6S must be plugged in to a power outlet for this feature to work.) Just head over to Settings>General>Siri and turn on Enable “Hey Siri” first.

Have Siri read anything.
You can enable Siri to read articles on websites, books, text messages, and more thanks to one of the iPhone’s lesser-known accessibility features. Head over to Settings > General > Accessibility > Speech. Then turn on Speak Screen and Speak Selection. Now, when you swipe down from the top of the screen with two fingers, Siri will dictate the content of whatever is on the screen.

Tell Siri how to pronounce names.
You can also teach Siri how to pronounce names. First, launch Siri and ask her to say the name in question — i.e. if it’s your name, ask, “What’s my name?”

When she answers, tell her that she’s not pronouncing it correctly. Make sure you use her pronunciation so that she knows which word you’re talking about. Siri should then ask you how to correctly pronounce the name. Once you do, she will present three ways to pronounce the name. Choose the correct one, and Siri will remember it.

Control your iPhone by simply moving your head.
This is another feature buried in the Accessibility section. Navigate to Settings > General > Accessibility and then scroll down to the Interaction subhead and tap “Switch Control.” Tap “Switches” and “Add New Switch.” Select “Camera” and choose “Left Head Movement” or “Right Head Movement.”

Then pick an action under the “System” menu, which essentially tells you what task your head movement will trigger. I chose Siri, so each time I tilt my head to the left it automatically launches Siri

See everywhere you’ve been.
Your iPhone tracks each place you’ve been, and there’s a way to find it by digging into your phone’s settings. Press the Settings icon and head to Privacy > Location Services > System Services. Then, scroll to the bottom and select “Frequent Locations” and look at the History section.

Save battery by putting your phone in grayscale mode.
If you’re running low on juice and just need basic functionality from your iPhone, try switching it to grayscale mode to save power. Just head to Settings > General > Accessibility and tap “Grayscale.”

Tap the home button twice to move app icons and other content toward the bottom of the screen (iPhone 6 Plus only).

If you’re using the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus with one hand, you can double tap the home button to scooch content down toward the bottom of the screen. Apple calls this “Reachability Mode.” Remember to tap the home button, don’t press it or else it’ll launch the app switcher.

Access emergency medical information directly from the lock screen.

If you set up a Medical ID in the Health app that comes with iOS 8, you can access medical information without having to unlock your iPhone. Tap the “Emergency” button that appears with the keypad for entering your passcode and you’ll see the Medical ID button on the lower-left corner.

See your iPhone’s actual signal strength.
There’s a clever trick that shows the actual signal strength on your iPhone rather than just the dots or bars you usually see in the upper-left corner of the screen. Business Insider’s Steven Tweedie explained it to us.

First, you’ll need to access a hidden app on your phone called Field Test Mode. To do this, you’ll need to open up your Phone app and dial the following number, *3001#12345#* — including the asterisks and hashtag — and tap “Call.”

This opens up Field Test Mode, which is mostly filled with menus of cell-signal jargon that you don’t need to worry about. What you’re interested in is the tiny number in the upper-left corner of your iPhone, which should have replaced those cell-signal dots. While that number can vary anywhere from -40 to -130, it will always be negative, and the closer that number is to zero, the better your cell signal. The best signal you can get would be -40, and no signal at all would be -130.

See who’s calling you even if a phone number isn’t in your contacts.
With iOS 9, Apple added a new feature that displays the possible name of an unknown caller. If you’re receiving a phone call from someone you’ve emailed, and that person’s email address is associated with his or her phone number, it’ll pop up as a suggestion when he or she calls you.
Use Siri to skip filter photos on your iPhone by date or location.
You can now ask Siri to show you photos from a certain time period or location. For instance, if you wanted to view photos taken two years ago on vacation, you could say something like, “Show me photos from 2013 taken in Jamaica.” It saves a lot of time since you no longer have to scroll through your whole photo library to find older images. This only works if your iPhone is updated to iOS 9.

Have Siri remind you to read a text message or email at a later time.
If you just received a text or email but can’t take the time to read it right now, you can ask Siri to remind you later on. When you receive the notification, just ask Siri to remind you to read it later. This works with Messages, Mail, Notes, and Safari as long as your iPhone is running iOS 9.

Launch a music app just by plugging in your earbuds.
If you listen to music at the same time every morning, your iPhone will automatically know that it should launch the music app as soon as you plug your headphones in. This is another feature that’s new with iOS 9.

Use Low Power Mode to make your phone last longer.
Low Power Mode, which is also a new addition with iOS 9, tells your iPhone to cut down on certain features to lengthen its battery life. This means it’ll stop refreshing apps in the background, pushing email, and other tiny things in order to keep your battery going.

Search for anything in the Settings menu.
You no longer have to dig through the iPhone’s settings menu to find what you’re looking for. If your iPhone is updated to iOS 9, you’ll notice there’s a search bar at the top of the settings menu that helps you quickly jump to any given setting.

Militancy in the oil-rich Niger Delta has taken a new turn as militants have vowed to break away from the federation of Nigeria. The separatist feelings and aspirations which resulted in the ongoing bombing of oil and gas facilities
in the region have eventually found expression in unveiling its ‘national’ currency.

Militants have been carry out attacks on oil and gas facilities of multinational oil corporations in the region the very latest being Chevron facility at its Escravos terminal on Thursday.

Niger Delta Avengers which have claimed responsibility for the attacks have vowed to stop at nothing until a sovereign state of the Niger Delta is actualized. A source who spoke to our reporter on condition of anonymity says much has been done to the region’s ecosystem resulting from the operations of oil companies in the region and that every hue and cry raised so far to draw the government’s attention to their predicament has fallen on deaf ears.

Hence the action to secede from Nigeria became absolutely necessary to save communities in the neglected region from gradual extinction
