How did we get to the point in the year 2017 where a Nigerian earning the minimum wage of ?18,000 can’t even fill up his fuel tank with his monthly pay. Can’t buy a bag of rice with his salary. Can’t buy a one way ticket to his hometown for Christmas with his wages. How? Why?

To the Nigerian people, I feel your pain. Yuletide is a time our people travel to unite with friends and family in their hometowns. The fuel scarcity makes that difficult. I wish I could offer our people more. But know this, even this shall pass and a better Nigeria will emerge.

Successful relationships face up to the reality of life. The partners do not hide behind a façade, neither do they make up their own reality of life. Life is as it is.

You may decide to live in fantasy and tell yourself that your partner is going through a phase , he or she will outgrow such behavior (you wish). Holding on to such unrealistic expectation will...

Being aware of the fact that the entire CAPS(central admission processing system) process is still all new to JAMB candidates, most student may not see the need of visiting the portal at all, I for one has seen series cases whereby student tell themselves in various social media platform to forget about CAPS, in case you don’t know they are consequences when you decide not to accept your admission status on CAPS. The jamb registrar made it clear during the intensive briefing on CAPS that all student should/must visit  JAMB CAPS  after being given provisional admission by their institution of choice. For brief summary of JAMB intensive lecture  CLICK HERE . Candidates are expected to note that the time frame for accepting/rejecting admission is 2-3 days, therefore candidates should ensure to visit the CAPS portal as often as possible, probably daily, though I can’t say for sure what happens when that time elapse but to be on a safer side I would advise yo...

When it comes to the Bluetooth wireless headphones space, the greatest innovation we've seen lately has been the leap into the "true wireless" segment – headphones that are no longer tethered to one another. Instead, these so-called "true wireless" headphones provide more dexterity mainly due to how each earbud is technically independent. Now that the first-generation of true wireless headphones are behind us, 2017 welcomed several second-gen products that aimed specifically to grow the segment even more.  From the big names in the space like Apple and Samsung, to some of those startups looking to capitalize on the trend, we've seen an abundance in true wireless headphones throughout the course of the year. Generally speaking, they all seem to lock down the basics in delivering that music listening experience, but there were few that somehow managed to impress us more with some additional features and functionality.
