Therefore, a laptop with a screen size between 12.5 to 14 inches and weighing between one to 1.5kg fits the bill. When shopping for such a portable device, it is often best to go f

Oyo State government on Monday denied the alleged N13 billion fraud involving the Managing Director of Heritage Bank, Mr. Ifie Sekibo and some officials of the state government. Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Mr. Toye Arulogun in reply to a mail sent to him informed DAILY POST that the state government had no link with the allegation.

A lawyer representing Igbos residing in the North, Vincent Egechukwu Obeta, has filed three lawsuits before the Federal High Court in Abuja, and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Court seeking to compel the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to arrest members of the Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, within seven days. Obeta, who made the disclosure in a statement on Monday said the first lawsuit seeks an Order of Mandamus of the Federal High Court, compelling the IGP to arrest ACF’s leader, Yerima Shettima and the body’s members who had in July, issued a quit notice asking Igbos to vacate North by October 1.

Obeta noted that the lawsuit seeks to enforce the rights of the Igbo to move freely throug

Xiaomi's dual-camera flagship, the Mi 5X, was introduced in China about one month ago, but the smartphone is not available in other countries. Although Xiaomi sells many of its smartphones in India and other Asian countries, some remain China-exclusive. But the Xiaomi Mi 5X will not remain China-exclusive for too long since the handset vendor announced it will expand its availability globally starting September 5.

John Obaro, CEO of Systemspecs, owner of the Remita mobile app, a platform that enables customers to access to all their bank accounts on the single platform, says the mobile application is in no way a threat to normal banking applications. Obaro, who spoke with BusinessDay at the official launch of the mobile application, debunked earlier claims of possible competition with the banks, saying it was simply an online/mobile payment collection platform and not a banking app. “Remita is not new and the banks have welcomed and accepted it for a while when federal government and corporate agencies started using the platform to pay taxes, salaries, remit pensions and so many other things. We are just launching it on mobile for use by individuals,” Obaro said. Contrary to previous speculations that the financial technology solution which helps businesses and individuals, manage their accounts and make payments across multiple banks would disrupt bank apps which have been somewhat turned

Almost every leak and rumor on this year’s iPhone has been about the so-called “iPhone 8,” or the new flagship with an OLED display that fills the front side. But we know that Apple will debut two other devices this fall: the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus, the modest upgrades and refreshes of last year’s phones. Now we’ve got one of the first big leaks on these other two models, and it reveals a supposed dummy model for the iPhone 7s Plus featuring an all-glass back. These photos are said to originate from Sonny Dickson, a source of tips and leaks with a reliable track record. They reveal that the dummy model iPhone 7s Plus uses the same basic chassis design of the iPhone 7 models, but simply replaces the aluminum back with reflective glass. While photos of a supposed dummy model should always be taken with a grain of salt, these images seem credible based on previous reports. We’ve long heard that the “iPhone 8” will include a wireless charging feature, with the most recent rumor indic

Out of these, the Nokia 8 is expected to launch in just ten days. A couple of days back, images of the smartphone in gold surfaced, sporting an unfinished glossy exterior. Now, it’s starting to look like that glossy exterior will not be the device’s only stand out feature. Take a look below to find out more. The Nokia 8 Surfaces On GeekBench With The MSM8998 And A Surprise Android 0 With more brands, the flagship sphere in mobile has started to dilute. We’ve got two categories of smartphones now, differentiated minutely important specifications. The Pixel/Pixel XL, iPhone X/X Plus, Samsung SX/SX/Note X and even the LG G6 and rumored LG V30. So it’s no surprise for HMD, a relatively new entrant, to follow similar suit with the Nokia 8 and the Nokia 9. Out of the pair, it’s the Nokia 8 which the company will launch
