i turned to the guys at Statista, an online statistics, market research and business intelligence website to help me with this. Thus, here are the [url=]biggest tech companies in the world[/url] by Market Value:

#1. Apple ($924 billion dollars)

Late Steve Job’s baby, Apple is the first ever company in history set to set a world record of being valued at #1 trillion dollars in a while. Their shares had surged after Wrren Buffet announced that his company, Berkshire Hathaway had purchased a further 75 million shares.

#2. Amazon ($783 billion dollars)

Apparently Amazon’s stock skyrocketed sometime in 2017, as a result catapulting founder, Jeff Bezos’ networth a staggering $40 billion more than now second place and long time front runner, Bill Gates.

#3. Microsoft ($753 billion dollars)

I bet you thought Microsoft would have clinched top spot of the largest tech companies in the world but alas! Not quite. As it turns out, the fact that Bill Gates was the richest man in the world for years back to back to back to infinity, Forbes reports that as at 2104, he had just 4% of Microsoft, a stake worth $13.3 billion in 2014. Majority of his billions came from his numerous other investments so now you understand why Microsoft is 3rd by market value.

#4. Alphabet/Google ($739 billion dollars)

Everybody knows Google but how many of you know that Alphabet Inc is the parent company of Google and other Google owned companies? Yeah. I thought so. Anyway, whatever name, Google is 4th on our list.

#5. Facebook ($538 billion dollars)

According to Statista, the top 10 social media sites worldwide are:

#1. Facebook (2.2 billion users)

#4. Facebook Messenger (1.3 billion users)

#5. WeChat (980 million users)

Have you ever heard of the name Mega Tiny Corporation? If you live in Nigeria, probably not.

Well these guys developed arguably the best protective case for iphone 6 called the “Anti gravity Megaverse iPhone case” and they don’t call it “Antigravity” for nothing.

This Apple iphone 6 case comes equipped with (permit me to say), 3 distinct super powers and I bet you’ve never seen anything like this before.

There’s a reason Nigerians are calling this the best Apple iphone 6 case. Watch this video and find out why.

Want to buy the best protective case for iphone 6, 6S, 6S plus, 7 etc? I’ve got something you’d definitely be interested in.

Worth over $170 million and sitting on more than 66,000 square feet, Bill Gates House (nicknamed Xandu 2.0) is a sight to see for tech geeks all around the world and the Dark Web �.

I think what gets some people shocked is that Business Insider reported that it took Bill 7 years to build this fortress from start to finish after paying for the plot for $2 million as far back as 1988.

You’ve probably seen a bunch of Google Adsense banners of a website called the 100 Naira Shop.

The first thought that hits you is usually “Does that mean everything in the shop is N100 bucks?” �

Well, yes…sort of.

One thing is for sure: when you visit the site, you’ll testify that every single product listed has a price tag of N100…including a Range Rover, a Louis Vuitton designer bag, and an iPhone X �.

I guess one could say the 100 Naira Shop doesn’t quite work the same as a Jumia. Perhaps the term “online lottery” has a better ring to it.

The N100 flat rate is logical because the plan is to get thousands of Nigerians bidding N100 for say, an iPhone X (that’s typically above N200k), so if you imagined prior to now that you’d buy an iPhone for N100 bucks…guy, you must either be a big tiff or a big Mumu �.

Here are some really awesome iPhone hacks to extend the functionality of your smartphone.

#1. How to adjust the brightness of your iPhone torch.

By default, the torch is usually bright as it is in all phones. Lucky for iPhone users, you can adjust the brightness level between low light, medium light and bright light by holding down the torch light icon until a small menu surfaces.

#2. How to undo typing mistakes by shaking your phone.

This particular iPhone hack reminds me of the “shake to send” feature of Xender. Here, if you’re typing and you make a mistake, instead of hitting delete key, just shake your phone and the last word or letter will erase.

#3. How to Play, pause, rewind, fast-forward, and skip songs using just your iPhone earphones.

If you live in Edo State, then the Edo Innovation Hub might just be the next best thing since sliced bread for you, especially if you’re interested in tech and here’s 5 reasons why:

#1. When ever the Government supports tech innovations, i’m always overjoyed, kind of like the guys dancing up there.

As it turns out, the Obaseki-led Edo State government has announced plans to launch a state-funded innovation hub via its skills development body, EDOJOBS to support the State’s fledging tech ecosystem.

#2. Word has it that it’s supposed to serve as a startup Accelerator, Incubator and Co-working space to be housed at the Institute of Continuing Education (ICE) in Benin, which is currently under renovation.

#3. The Edo Innovation Hub won’t be walking alone as it turns out. Siemens, Tech4Dev, Microsoft, Impact Hub, Curators University (an American University) and Hotels.ng, among others are reported to also be in cahoots.

Now normally, I’d sell this sort of information for a minimum of N5 grand per e-book (in fact, my older brother insisted) but thank your stars I’m giving it out for free.

#1. How to make money on Instagram via Sponsored posts.

First and foremost, you should have by now conspicuously placed it in your bio for interested advertisers to DM you to place adverts on your IG page.

Now moving on, this is quite straightforward. Like a sponsored post on a blog, people pay you to post their goods and services.

But here’s the interesting part: You can actually charge differently for each type of post. Something like this:

>Sponsored Image post – N10k

>Sponsored slideshow post (carousel) – N20k

>Sponsored videos post – N30k.

Obviously how much you can charge actually depends on how many followers you have.

#2. Earn money on instagram through Branded video content.

If you know @Lasisielenu on IG, then you probably have a clue what a branded video advert looks like (or not �).

In its purest form, it goes beyond just having a creative/video production team to whip up amazing 1 minute videos and it isn’t a 1 minute video ad. If you dare make it into a blatant advert, my broda, the entire campaign will flop.

Why? If you’re like me who is hell bent on maximizing my ROI, and you study advertising stats from one IG page to another, you’d easily see that truly, some so called “Multi-Nationals” really don’t have much sense when I comes down to ad spend vis a vis Return on investment.

You’d see that if you compared a normal post with an obvious ad following it, with another normal post preceding the ad, even for a page with a million real followers, you’d still notice a huge decline in post engagement (comments, likes and views).

Dude, face it – people hate ads. Except they can innovate and be entertaining, they’re essentially doomed.

The idea is to make it subtle but apparent at the same time. Too apparent and you dissuaded people from really engaging with it, too subtle and your video misses its intended purpose.

It’s all about balance. It ought to fit naturally into the typical type of video content the audience of that page is familiar with.

For my example 2, look at this Lasisi’s video promoting Snipper insecticide to get a better idea of what I mean.

#3. Earn money on instagram via Sponsored Instagram Stories.

When you watch the video and count how many seconds it took to quench Mr. Human Torch here, it’s safe to say the Nigga obviously sustained up to 3rd Degree burns.

Luckily, the clip isn’t all raw and irritating with burnt red human flesh looking like roasted Goat meat because it was shot from a distance. Watch how it happened

I can almost hear some of you whispering in absolute certainty, “I’m sure it was a Samsung Galaxy Note 7!” �

Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t, but tell me another smartphone you know of that is practically a walking suicide bomb besides the Galaxy Note 7? �

Luckily, the clip isn’t all raw and irritating with burnt red human flesh looking like roasted Goat meat because it was shot from a distance. So watch this.

Digital marketing is the marketing of products or services using digital technologies, mainly on the Internet, but also including mobile phones, display advertising, and any other digital medium.

Digital marketing's development since the 1990s and 2000s has changed the way brands and businesses use technology for marketing. As digital platforms are increasingly incorporated into marketing plans and everyday life, and as people use digital devices instead of visiting physical shops,[4][5] digital marketing campaigns are becoming more prevalent and efficient.

Digital marketing methods such as search engine optimization (SEO), search engine marketing (SEM), content marketing, influencer marketing, content automation, campaign marketing, data-driven marketing,[6] e-commerce marketing, social media marketing, social media optimization, e-mail direct marketing, display advertising, e–books, and optical disks and games are becoming more common in our advancing technology. In fact, digital marketing now extends to non-Internet channels that provide digital media, such as mobile phones (SMS and MMS), callback, and on-hold mobile ring tones.[7] In essence, this extension to non-Internet channels helps to differentiate digital marketing from online marketing, another catch-all term for the marketing methods mentioned above, which strictly occur online.

Our Moov Now Review of the Moov Now fitness tracker has never made losing those extra pounds of weight more easier! And as a fitness junkie myself, I can’t say I’m not the least bit excited about writing this review. it’s a fitness tracker on your wrist or ankle powered by Artificial Intelligence that pretty much serves as your very own personal fitness trainer.

With workout programs and real-time audio coaching through the mobile app (for iPhones and Android phones), the Moov Now can help make you a better runner, a faster cyclist, a sleeker swimmer and — most importantly — can help you lose weight by measuring your movements, while also tracking calories burned, active minutes and sleep via the mobile app.



I mean this piece of tech will practically tell you audibly if you are landing too hard while you’re sprinting or jogging.

But perhaps one apparent disadvantage people may have with the smartwatch is the lack of its own dedicated screen.



This means you have to monitor your progress through the app on your Android or iPhone screen. But personally, I think I prefer it that way (I’m a sucker for giant displays �).

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday declared that President Muhammadu Buhari, and his All Progressives Congress (APC) controlled government have been taking “Nigerians for fools.”

Obasanjo who lamented that the fortunes of most Nigerians have taken a turn for the worse in the last three years despite claims to the contrary by Buhari and APC, called for concerted efforts from people to send them packing in 2019.

The ex – President who made this known while briefing reporters at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, also announced that his Coalition for Nigeria Movement (CNM) has adopted the African Democratic Congress(ADC) as a political platform to achieve the dream of changing the current state of governance at all levels in the country come 2019.

He also warned people not accept the call for forgiveness by the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) for taking Nigerians for a ride, saying while the party had sought forgiveness, it did not deemed it fit to discipline members who used eight years to bring woes upon the country through poor governance.

So all hail Seun Osewa.

All hail Nairaland. This moment is for them to relish in.

Hausa ng news reports - Speaking at a telephone interview with journalists in Hausan, Idris Sani Moda, the media quoted the media as saying that he had died on Monday.

Sani Moda also said he was surprised at the fact that his death story had spread, so that he was forced to take the call from inside and outside the country from his loved ones to prove the truth. According to him, a statement was issued from the lying hospital, where he described himself as deceased, explaining that God did not allow his life to be near to him in answer to God's call. He also said he was getting better. The news media reported yesterday that God had killed a brave soldier after he had been diagnosed with cancer. We pray to God that he will give him a good reward and that will be an atonement for him.

The Saudi government has asked for forgiveness after a video of British women's bomb explosions while people are watching for Men.

The WWE tournament was held in Jiddah, and men and women attended the television show by the national television station.

Men stole only in Saudi Arabia while women were abducted in the country.

But the Saudi People are in the middle of the watch, and the women's advertisements are dressed in their uniform.

The image appeared in a large-scale auditorium on the stadium at the King Abdullah Sports Stadium.

That is why the Saudi Arabia Football Federation has appealed for what she described as "something wrong."

By www.Hausa.ng - Another study suggests that drinking too much alcohol can reduce the age of one's life.

A study of over 600,000 alcohol drinks shows that taking a drink cup from 10 to 15 weeks a week can reduce the life of one from one to two years.

Also, alcohol additives over 18 drinks per week may lose four to five years of life, according to a study conducted by some scientists in the UK.

The 2016 UK Magistrate Order recommends that a seven-week cup of alcohol be held within a week...Continue reading here

Speakers say that "footwear is a matter of camel" whenever they try to compare the strength of something to one's opponent, and to show how he or she can overturn them without passing any no problem.

Such statements came out of the mouth of some supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari shortly after he announced his intention to contest in the 2019 elections.

Those who feel that not only in the APC, but also in the other parties, no one can challenge the president, and anyone who tries to do this will never succeed.

So you want to know how to increase Twitter followers, huh? Maybe you’ve got a blog you want to drive some insane social traffic to or you simply have your business on Twitter, either way you’ve come to the right gig.

Strategy : Follow to unfollow the followers of those you follow.

if you are looking for extremely targeted followers that can convert perfectly well in terms of how likely they’d be to like, comment and share your tweets, this is it boys and girls — the freakin’ holy grail!

How does this work exactly?

You just started a Twitter page for Tech news, right? Ask yourself, “Who are you’re precise target audience and how can you get them?”

People who love tech and gadget news obviously. And where can you find these people? (Based on the subheading, take a wild guess).

Let me help you small. As a technology page, you’d naturally follow other top tech pages on Twitter, say Techpoint or techcabal, right?

Once you’ve followed them (which really isn’t even necessary, except you just love to read their updates on your timeline), click their “followers” tab and follow everyone you see there.

Still interested in finding out more? Continue reading.
