WorldStage Newsonline-- President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria on Wednesday unveiled the new N100 centenary banknote to commemorate 100 years amalgamation of the northern and Southern protectorates in 1914.

The note was formally presented to the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Jonathan.

Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefuele, who presented the note, stressed that it was produced with the most advanced technology in the world, he said that the note retained the picture of late Chief Obafemi Awolowo on the front side.

He said that the new note has security features against counterfeiting and with special durability tolerance.

The Zuma Rock at the back of the current note has been replaced by Q.R. code and other pictures.

Speaking on the Q.R. code, the CBN governor said that with telephone set and iPad having QR code scanner and the application to be released by the bank, Nigerian will be able to scan and read historical facts about Nigeria.

The Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala who wondered how much it will cost to print the notes, noted that the Q.R. code features will be useful for students to catch up with the history of Nigeria.

From the leaflets circulated showed various programmes leading to issuance of the note to Nigerians.

While the launch of the partnership programme aimed at banknote equipment manufacturers and other machine suppliers will hold next Wednesday, the new notes will be issued into circulation on Friday 19th December

From my conclusion out of every electronics bought at home alongside appliances, the clock has the longest life's span. The only overhauling required is battery replacement. Wish other appliance can do same.

The apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohaneze Nidigbo yesterday failed to endorse President Goodluck Jonathan for re-election come 2015.

Although the motion for the adoption of President Jonathan was moved at the meeting, it was shut down by majority of Igbo leaders.

Speaking with newsmen, Senator Chris Ngige, representing Anambra central senatorial zone said,"we have agreed to insulate Ohaneze from partisan politics.

"We will support no presidential candidate. We will be neutral because Ohaneze is made of people from diverse political parties. People who belong to parties should go their parties and canvass for their own candidates. They can talk to Nigerian9s from their own political parties and not from Ohanaeze.

"They will be doing so from the standpoint of their party and not from Ohanaeze. The endorsement will not be obtainable. That is our agreement."

With 2015 fast approaching like a shooting star, just few months away, another general election will decide our "4years" faith again. Which of the presidential aspirant can you bet your money on? Who in your own sincere opinion can you stamp a thumb for! Regardless of sentiments! Just a like on any of your favorite aspirant.

I want to buy a phone, either a UK used or brand new, with a lot of slots to choose from @Ikeja but am not familiar with the UK Used outlet @ Ikeja. Can anyone help me with any?

However, before going through all that you have to first analyze and introspect as to what are the things you want from the device and the price you are willing to pay for it. While you are at it you must be practical and logical about striking a balance between the features you want and the price you are willing to pay. Once you are through that, it will be a lot easier to skim through the phones that offer those features within the budget you have allocated for the same. You can easily do that by going through a couple of good online shopping websites. They offer the option of using a number of filters, to shorten the list, which goes a long way in saving time and effort that you would otherwise have required for this whole exercise. Let's take a look at the things to consider before buying a smartphone.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating System
There are a number of operating systems in the
market today. However the top three Operating
Systems of today are Google’s Android, Apple’s
IOS and Microsoft’s Windows Phone. You must
consider the pros and cons before deciding on
any one of them.
It is anybody’s guess that Android has the lion’s
share of the market in terms of sales and is
apparently the most customizable platform of
the lot. The launch of Android Kitkat 4.4 adds
new dimensions to the Operating System and
offers smoothest android experience ever.
Android also offers highest number of apps
through the play store.
While the IOS of Apple is second to none and
offers the most polished and sophisticated look
and feel of the lot and with the I phone 5S and I
phone 5C being launched with the latest version
of the Operating System IOS 7 that has given
new meaning to the word premium. The IOS
tends to get the hottest apps and games even
before Android as it is easier to target the
similar specced devices running the IOS.
However, the IOS only comes with the Apple
phones and tablets and does not have the kind
of variety enjoyed by Android.
Windows Phone Operating System is still
evolving and lags behind the IOS and Android in
terms of number of apps and sales. However, it
has a long way to go and is probably a good
choice for people looking for the best camera
phones. The Nokia Lumia series phones are all
windows phones and are arguably the best
camera phones in the market today.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Hardware Configuration
So far I discussed about the software part, now
let’s move on to the hardware part or the
hardware specifications like the processor and
RAM. Now in order to decide what kind of
specifications you need or want, you should first
know what all you want to use your smartphone
for. It is imperative that you know what all you
will use your phone for; browsing internet, e-
mails, editing documents, playing games,
watching videos or movies, listening to music
etc.
Once you have a fair idea you can decide
whether you want a high-end premium phone, a
mid range phone or a budget phone and can
take it further from there. If you want to play
High definition games on your phone, you may
want a processor of highest grade like the
qualcomm snapdragon 800 and at least 2 GB of
RAM to go with it. On the other hand if you will
only be using it for browsing internet and e-
mails etc besides basic telephonic functions,
than a dual core processor and 512 MB of RAM
may suffice.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Internal storage and Expandable Memory
A smartphone is as good as the amount of
memory or storage it has. You may buy a
smartphone with the best hardware
specifications but if it does not have enough
memory, it may not be able to satiate your
appetite. Therefore you must emphasize on
getting a smartphone with enough internal
storage and probably with a provision for
expansion through a SD card. Now the question
is how much is enough? Well the answer to that
lies within you.
You have to ask yourself as to how many apps
you will use, whether you will use it for listening
to music or watching movies and would want to
have your collection on your phone. Depending
on all these things you may choose how much
memory you will need. Most of the
smartphones have internal memory ranging
from 2GB to 64GB, while some of them offer
expandable storage through SD card.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Screen size and Quality
When it comes to size of display or screen,
different people have different perspectives.
Some may want a screen size that would easily
fit into the pocket and could be easily used with
one hand and yet should be sufficiently big for
enjoying videos. Some others may want a large
screen irrespective of whether it fits into the
pocket or not. While some might want a phone
with a small display which is easy to handle.
Besides the size the quality too has an
important role to play. A smartphone with low
resolution may not be able to play those HD
videos you have, while those videos may not
look good on a smartphone with a large screen
in excess of 5 inches but a low PPI of 200
something. You must look for a smartphone that
offers the right balance of screen size and
screen quality within your budget. You may
sacrifice a Full HD screen for a QHD screen to
get a bigger screen or vice versa
----------------------------------------------------------------
Pricing and Budget
The budget could be the biggest spoilsport when
it comes to taking a final decision. You must
ensure that you do not overspend. While you
should also make sure that you do not
compromise on important things for a small
price differential. You are the best judge of how
long you plan to use the device and must make
an informed choice based on a comprehensive
research, which you do not regret at a later
stage.
Moreover, you could also make use of various
price comparison sites like mysmartprice.com to
get the best price a particular device is available
for at various online stores. You could also use
the lowest or best price so derived as a
benchmark to negotiate the price with your
neighborhood store guy.

This year, 2014, will make D'banj's 10th year in
the Nigeria's music industry and he's preparing
to celebrate it big!
First he revealed that Don Jazzy will be
producing some tracks on the upcoming album
to mark the feat.
Now, the Kokomaster will be dropping Nigeria's
first ever musical movie and we are already
excited about it because we can't wait to see
what it looks like.
To bring that to life, he has a deal with Apple
which involves making a musical movie about
his 10-year journey as a musician.
D'banj who called from Los Angeles, revealed
this to Beat FM presenters, Olisa Adinua and
Maria, : ‘Most people have the wrong
impression that Dr Dre was the one that signed
me, but the contract I have says ‘APPLE’ and to
take it further, my management, DKM Media in
conjunction with Apple is working on a musical
movie. I’m going to act in the movie and play
the role of D’banj’, he said.
D’banj is currently taking acting lessons in
preparation for the role; ‘Yes o, I’m currently
taking acting lessons, initially, I didn’t know I
would need acting lessons to play myself in the
movie but they want to make it very
professional and very well done.’...

•Demand assurances President’s wife won’t
determine their successors
THERE are indications that President Goodluck
Jonathan and governors of the on the platform
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are at
war over what sources close to the party
describe as “unwarranted interference in
political affairs” by the first lady, Dame Patience
Jonathan.
It was gathered that most leaders of the party
were not happy at the meddlesomeness of the
First Lady in clear party affairs.
A highly respected PDP stalwart said President
Jonathan risked protest votes from party
members to save the country from further
embarrassment by the First Lady.
The source who craved anonymity told our
reporter, “I have spoken to many elders in the
party and they said they would not vote for
President Jonathan because of his wife. Even
myself will not vote for PDP.
“It is not because we hate the president but we
can no longer cope with the overbearing
influence of his wife. So, expect among other
things protest votes against Jonathan by even
PDP members.”
The source added that at a recent meeting with
the president, some of the governors tabled the
issue of the president’s wife’s overbearing
influence in political affairs.
According to the source, the governors sought to
extract commitment from President Jonathan
that his wife should not impose candidates on
their states in 2015.
Buttering the argument, the source referred to
the scenario in Rivers State where Patience
Jonathan is leading a campaign to make former
Minister of State for Education, Nyesom Wike
Governor.
The source added, “The party elders are
watching with shame the macabre dance in
Rivers State by the First Lady. Recently, the First
Lady visited Nyesom Wike in his house in Port
Harcourt.
“In that televised visit, she held Wike’s hand and
placed it in the hand of Dr. Peter Odili. It is an
endorsement and it has never happened
before. That singular act is unbecoming of a First
Lady. With what she is doing in Rivers, we won’t
be surprised if PDP loses that state to APC”.
The source added that in the history of
Presidency in Nigeria, no First Lady was allowed
by her husband to desecrate the office of the
President the way Dame Patience had done.
“This is the first time a wife of the President
would be allowed by her husband to be this
powerful. It is shameful that Dame Patience has
the liberty to summon service chiefs, ministers
and top members of our party at will.
“Remember her meddlesomeness in the Chibok
girls’ saga how she called meetings of service
chiefs and parents of the girls and was shouting
at them, insulting them on national television.
“Where has it happened before? It was one
embarrassment too many for Nigeria. The First
Lady has brought the country to ridicule and
party leaders are not happy with her excesses”,
the source observed.
The source further accused the First Lady of
acting without seeking the permission of her
husband adding that she had made President
Jonathan look like a weakling.
“Nigerians are amused that she has no regard
for her husband. Imagine her recent resignation
as a Permanent Secretary in Bayelsa State Civil
Service. Before the appointment, she begged for
it and even her husband appealed for it.
“It was the appointment that even the last
Governor of the state, Mr. Timipre Sylva,
refused to give her. But when she resigned
because of her problem with Governor Seriake
Dickson, she did not tell her husband.
“She has been boasting to her aides and other
governors that she would ensure that Dickson
does not return and that there is nothing even
her husband will do about it. The President must
call his wife to order to stand a chance,” the
source said, adding “What we don’t understand
is why the President is allowing her to carry on
the way she is doing. I think there is something
the First Lady is using as a secret weapon
against the President that we don’t know. No
President has allowed his wife to be this power
drunk. What is happening is not normal.”
Mrs. Jonathan had in April this year paid a
solidarity visit to Wike in his Abuja residence,
saying her visit was to give him her blessings,
noting that the governorship aspirant proved
himself as a member of the federal executive
council.
She said, “I am giving you the blessing of a
mother. The blessing a mother gives to a
beloved son. Go and you will conquer. He is a
Minister that delivered while he served in the
cabinet. Wike proved himself and is ready to
serve in a higher capacity”.
The first lady further described the former
minister as a listening and respectful politician,
who heeded her counsel to drop his senatorial
aspiration in 2011.
“You listened to me and dropped your
senatorial aspiration. I pray God to protect you,
lead you and please go on with your aspiration.
“I have hand you (Wike) over to our father, Dr.
Peter Odili and the people of Rivers State. You
are going to Rivers State for the betterment of
all of us and to wipe our tears,” she stated.
Responding, Wike assured the first lady that the
PDP would emerge victorious in all elections in
Rivers come 2015.
