Gembu is a town on the Mambilla Plateau in Taraba State, Northeast Nigeria. It is among one of the highest elevated towns in the countryside sitting at an average elevation of 4,423ft above sea level. I have spent a few days here enjoying the so many unique and beautiful things to see ranging from the picturesque landscapes, the thick forests, the tea farms, the local culture, the cold weather, the fresh fruits and vegetables and the best of all, the amazing people of Gembu.

During my photo assignment, I discovered that the Camon 12 Pro’s camera is a tad bit better than the Phantom 9’s especially when it came to colour representation and how it handled dynamic range between the highlights and shadows.

I’d say the TECNO Camon 12 Pro’s camera is TECNO Mobile’s best yet!

Abiodunspectre:
If you aren’t already amazed by Africa’s most preferred smartphone brand, TECNO. Then you most certainly will be when you check out the stunning new Phantom 9. The Phantom series has always featured the heights of TECNO’s competence, and the Phantom 9 is truly packed with jaw-dropping features.

Looking for a smartphone that answers to all your needs, in Power, Camera, Memory, and Performance? Here are the reasons you should look no further than Phantom 9.

1. High-end Selfie Photography for recording your memories

When it comes to talking beautiful and clear pictures of you, the Phantom never disappoints, and the new Phantom 9 is a selfie masterpiece. With 32MP Ultra Pixels Selfie sensor, dual Flash, 1.6 μm, F2.0 aperture, and over 18 different Face dimensions, you can take social-media ready photos seamlessly. You will not need third-party apps and tools to boost your selfies because the Phantom 9 selfie camera is in charge.

2. AI Triple Camera to View the world from a gorgeous angle

To record your memories, with the best quality, the Phantom 9 comes with a 16MP, 8MP and 2MP rear cameras combination. Behind that stunning triple camera, is the AI magic delivering eight independent scenes. By pairing AI and camera sensor, it has an AI Bokeh Effect from the 2MP secondary camera and an AI Scene recognition from the 16MP primary camera.

The Phantom 9 also comes with an 8MP ultra-wide 3CM extreme Macro photography to view the world in a stunning and satisfying glow.

3. More Power and Memory

Nothing sweetens the deal like a smartphone with higher performance and bigger storage capacity. The Phantom 9 is packed with 128 GB of storage which is expandable up to 512GB of microSD storage. For the best connectivity, you have 4G LTE and Bluetooth 5.0. To crown it all, the Phantom 9 comes with 3,500mAh to work efficiently without worrying too much about your battery power.

4. Awesome Performance

TECNO Phantom 9 is powered by the Mediatek MT 6765 Helio P35. An Octa-core ARM Cortex A53 CPU with operating power up to 2.3 GHz and IMG PowerVR GE8320 GPU.
Paired with this processor, is the latest Andriod 9 Pie , 6GB of RAM and HiOS 5 skin. With these combinations, you can enjoy immense speed, seamless navigation, power efficiently, and the best user experience.

5. Stunning AMOLED screen to boost your vision

Recent smartphone trends come with lesser bezels for a brighter display. The Phantom 9 is a 6.4inch AMOLED display device with a Full HD+ resolution for the best immersive viewing experience for watching videos. With the Full HD+ feature, you have protection for your eyes and clearer view closer to the natural color. The smart device is also uncluttered with buttons and comes with an 84% screen-to-body ratio, which gives you control of your viewing space.

6. An advanced in-screen fingerprint scanner

The Phantom 9 moves with the trend by taking you one step away from the rear-mouthed fingerprint scanner. You can now enjoy a fingerprint sensor that’s just a click away on your display. This is a more convenient unlocking feature since your thumbs do all the work without involving the rest of your fingers.

7. Amazing and Sturdy design

At 7.85 mm visual thickness, you can be sure the Phantom 9 won’t be too big to carry around. To ease your worries, the Phantom 9 is smaller than the Phantom 8 and comes with curved edges to give you a more comfortable grip on the smart device.

8. Premium quality and affordable

Looking at its unique features, one may expect the Phantom 9 to be quite expensive. But in a surprising turn of events, the TECNO Phantom 9 is entirely affordable at a whopping price of N77,000. The Phantom 9 is, therefore, the cheapest Andriod smartphone with an in-display fingerprint, 6GB RAM, 128B Storage, and an AMOLED display.

People say beauty is subjective. They try to explain it by saying that it all depends on who is viewing the object or person in question.


While that is generally true, when it comes to the new TECNO Phantom 9 expected soon from Africa’s most preferred smartphone maker, one cannot help but disagree.

The design of this new device is out-of-this-world, literally speaking, and so is its beauty. The stunning aurora lights that appear as showers of colour in the Northern and Southern hemispheres of our planet inspired the design of this new device.


From leaked images currently available, we can definitely say that the new TECNO Phantom 9* will flaunt swirls of blue, black and red in various shades.

Sources say the new device will be a real game-changer with mind-blowing specs to match the amazing, otherworldly design. We can expect a camera that will be a lot more powerful than the dual camera on the older TECNO Phantom 8, perhaps an AI Triple Camera; a processor that will be equipped to take on huge tasks without any lag; and a much better screen among other things.

Some other expected features on the TECNO Phantom 9 are: In-display Fingerprint Scanner to minimize interruptions; Dual Flashlight for ultra-bright pictures; and Google Lens for easy image recognition on the device.

We also hear the device was crafted by a French design team based in Paris – talk about fine taste! No need to take the Lagos to Paris flight to enjoy French style. We can hardly wait for the device’s release. This also shows how far the brand will go to ensure that their devices are top-of-the-range and proves that TECNO is for Nigerians.

So, check out this aurora-inspired, French-styled and designed smartphone with AI Triple camera and so much more. TECNO Phantom 9 is expected to be launched on July 4.

What's your opinion on this?

Having unboxed and reviewed the new TECNO Phantom 9, I honestly think this device has way too much value for less. first of all, I really enjoy the minimalistic design, then the Tripple camera set up. Coming at N77,000 only, I think TECNO has a lot going for the Phantom 9 and the device should not be overlooked.

Nigerians have taken to Social Media for some days now to condemn the alleged rape of a group of women recently by police officers in Abuja. The women were accused of being prostitutes and were arrested during a raid on nightclubs in the federal capital territory. Prostitution is illegal n the country but given the questionable nature of the Nigerian Police force, indiscriminately arresting people and charging them for crimes they might not have committed, there's been a protest in Abuja demanding answers and making sure it is not another demonstration of the inhumane conduct of the officers of the Nigerian police:

NIGERIANS PROTEST AGAINST RAPE OF WOMEN BY POLICE OFFICERS IN ABUJA:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgnQRVZPBFw

aguele:
Stand Up for Nigeria, a civil society group has fingered the Islamic Movement in Nigeria behind the planned protest across the country in August by Coalition for Revolution (CORE).

The group said IMN was only using CORE to cause panic among Nigerians following its proscription by the Nigerian Government.

Comrade Sunday Attah, National Secretary, while addressing newsmen on Monday, informed the law enforcement agencies that the planned protest was a ploy to evade the designation of the former as terrorist organization and to enable terrorists to continue gathering freely on the streets.

His statement below.

Gentlemen of the press, recent weeks had seen extremists and radical militants take over the streets of Abuja under the aegis of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), which was supposedly demanding the release of their leader, Ibrahim el-Zakyzaky. It must be noted that el-Zakyzaky is on trial for murder, treason and ancillary crimes before a Kaduna State High Court.

The state does not have control of the police and other security agencies so it is logical that while the IMN leader has a case to answer with Kaduna state, he can only be kept in the custody of federal agencies, which is not the same as the Federal Government or the government of President Muhammadu Buhari holding him.

The implication of this is that the violent protests held on the streets of Abuja, and later other Nigerian cities, have nothing to do with the detention of el-Zakyzaky. The protests rather have all the signatures of a terrorism enterprise that is intended to cow the Nigerian state and subjugate all citizens to the reign of IMN, which so happens to be a proxy for Iran.

The measured responses from the Nigerian Police Force and other security organizations, even in the face of aggravated provocations by IMN members, are well documented. Its members often throw projectiles at policemen and in some instances used slingshots to inflict grievous injuries on those whose responsibility it was to prevent the arson that the IMN protestors are intent on committing and also prevent them from manhandling Nigerians.

A side note of use is the reminder that IMN does not believe in the Nigerian state. For every ministry of government that exists it has a corresponding department, which confirms that it is running a parallel country to the one we all know. It also does not believe in the current political configuration of the country be it political parties or offices that result as a consequence of their activities. Effectively, IMN at its most moderate is an anarchist group that later branched into full fledge terrorism.

We were therefore not surprised when the Federal Government, on the strength of a court order, proscribed IMN as a terrorist organization. Let us not forget that militants of IMN executed a Deputy Commissioner of Police on the streets of Abuja in the course of their violent protest on the same they executed a journalist and wasted the life of a dozen others in the course of expressing their so called rage. Before that they have attempted to overthrow the legislative arm of government, being the premier branch of government, when they stormed the National Assembly and laid siege to the place for several hours. That invasion resulted in deaths.
As a matter of emphasis, the Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Justice Nkeonye Maha, in addition to proscribing IMN as a terrorists organization, further restrained “any person or group of persons” from participating in any form of activities involving or concerning the IMN “under any name or platform” in the country.

Gentlemen of the press, we are therefore concerned that rather than desisting from “as acts of terrorism and illegality” as ordered by the court, IMN members have, in contravention of the court, regrouped under the name of the COALITION FOR REVOLUTION (CORE) in order for them to continue with their violent protests and continue killing Nigerians. CORE’s manifesto openly threatened violence by saying “We have the right to be in rage and to protest,” an agenda that not only tallies with IMN’s creed but is also consistent with the behavior of the terrorist organization in recent months.

Further confirmation that CORE is nothing but a rebranded IMN can be found in the second of the five demands of the group:
"For an effective and democratic end to insecurity and insurgency, combined with the immediate dismissal of the security chiefs and release of all political prisoners including the Shiite leader Ibrahim el-Zakzaky.”

Recall that there have been reports that the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Mr Atiku Abubakar has been financing the IMN protests in addition to specifying what targets the group should attack. The other four points of CORE’s demand are consistent with Atiku’s propaganda. What we have learnt is that PDP/Atiku has transferred the existing mandate and funding from IMN to CORE in order for the violent street protests to continue with the assassination of policemen later escalating to include senior government officials.

We are using this opportunity to draw the attention of law enforcement agencies to this mutation of IMN into CORE. It is a ploy to evade the designation of the former as terrorist organization and to enable terrorists to continue gathering freely on the streets.

This poses a great danger to the country as they will again be able to resume killing security personnel before adding public office holders to their kill list. It is imperative that the coordinators of the planned protests beginning August 5, 2019 are identified before that date for the purpose of further investigating and establishing their links with IMN.

Nigerians are advised to note that rather than fighting for their cause, CORE is an agent of subjugation that is representing the interest of Iran and a desperate opposition that is eager to reestablish corruption as a norm. All right thinking people must therefore shun the deceptive protests being called by CORE as they are nothing but a ruse to make people support IMN.

Stand Up For Nigeria, a coalition of 22 Civil Society groups and youths groups is challenging CORE to prove that it is not a mutated IMN with the same mandate and funding source. We will soon expose more details of how the promoters of IMN are the very sponsors of IMN protests in Nigeria.

We re-affirm our commitment, the commitment of Nigeria and Nigerians to the unity and indivisibility of the country. We solemnly pledge that Nigerians will defend the country from any uprising being instigated by disgruntled politicians, sectarian terrorists and commercial protesters in the country.
