Checkout The Top 5 Reasons Many People Love Android Devices
The debate on which is the better operating system between the iOS and Android operating system is a debate that will probably never be concluded, however, it is impossible to deny some of the impressive features that the Android operating system offers.

5 reasons people love Android devices.
(1). There are Widgets!
(1). There are Widgets!
With widgets you can ‘see all the information you need at a glance’ without having to open an app. Widgets are a major advantage Android devices have over iOS devices, mainly because even with Apple’s recent launch of widgets on their iOS devices, it still remains very limited on iOS compared to the widgets of Android devices that are more unbounded and offer more varieties.
(2). It Allows Customization
Another strong feature of Android devices is the fact that it allows customization. Unlike most Apple devices, Android devices let you choose any level of customization you want and this flexibility is what really appeals to most smartphone users. This is because many smartphone users generally tend to want to explore the limits of their devices, and they typically like having the ability to freely customize and play around with features and design of their phones.

(3). It’s Affordable
Buying an Android device is unlikely to devastate your bank account, and for that affordability it remains an attractive option to many. With varieties of devices, designs and specs, Android devices really have something to suit every budget range and offers a true and enjoyable smartphone experience. Android's affordability is what has driven and continues to drive its worldwide dominance.
(4). Its Seamless Integration With Google’s Services
Android devices integrate seamlessly with Google’s varieties of services, and this works just great because Google is largely considered the ‘king of the web’. Apple and iOS doesn’t seem to be able to keep up in this area, and have had to yield to accommodating more Google services on their platform. Unfortunately, the seamless integration enjoyed between Android devices and Google services, is not replicated in the integration of iOS and Google services.
(5). It Allows For Multi-Tasking
Some might argue that iOS devices also allow multi-tasking, but what they cannot deny is that the level of multi-tasking that iOS devices support, does not come anywhere near the level of multi-tasking some Android phones offer. Samsung phones are a good examples of Android phones that have great multi-tasking features. This is one area that Apple is more or less playing catch-up to Android devices.(4).

“Apart from being diligent, he is the one supervising the education sector and I am proud of his commitment to duty and I am assuring you that with him in the saddle, things would get better.
“When I first came to office in 2003, the sector was in bad shape and we organised the first Education Summit and we moved from number 34 in the federation to seven and first in the Sourh-West. I came back again to meet it in a bad state and we took some steps and here we are.
“Last year when we came first, some critics who would not see anything good in other people said we reaped from what our predecessor left. Now we have proved them wrong.
“We are the first when it comes to the motivation of teachers and assisting them with teaching aids and materials. No state celebrates teachers like we do during the annual Teachers’ Day.”

ThankGod and his wife, juliet were alleged to have always assaulted the little girl over minor offences, as appeals from neighbours fell on deaf ears.
Matter came to a head on Tuesday, September 5, when the couple used a hot iron to torture her. She was reportedly accused of licking powdered chocolate beverage (tea) without permission.

An official of the agency revealed that neighbors attested to the regular abuse of Chinansa.
He said, “The abuse had been going on for a long time. We were informed that in the past, the man’s wife used razor blades to cut her in different parts of the body because she mistakenly tore her (Juliet) clothes. The neighbors didn't raise the alarm that time because they thought the couple would change until the one that happened on that Tuesday.

14 Properties Belonging To Ex-FCT Minister & Son Been Seizes By EFCC
EFCC says it has seized14 properties located in “choice areas” of Abuja traced to the immediate past Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Bala Mohammed, and his son, Shamsuddeen.
The application, filed before the Federal High Court in Abuja on September 11, 2017, sought the interim forfeiture of the properties.
The anti-graft agency stated that although it had “recovered and seized” the properties, they could not be forfeited to the Federal Government without a court order.
EFCC said both Mohammed and his son “have denied ownership and connection” to the properties.
But the commission maintained that “preliminary investigation has revealed that the properties listed on the schedule are unlawfully acquired through corrupt practices by the former minister and his son while in office as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.”
The properties, according to the EFCC, included one “mansion” located at Sunrise Estate, Asokoro, Abuja; and three sets of four-bedroomed semi-detached duplex at Green Acres Estate, Apo-Dutse, Abuja.
Others were two sets of four-bedroomed fully-detached duplexes each with boys’ quarters on Gana Street, Maitama, Abuja, a trekable distance to Transcorps Hilton Hotel Abuja.
Also listed as part of the seized properties was a four-bedroomed detached duplex with boys’ quarters located at 9, Platinum Luxury Home White Estate, Asokoro, Abuja.
Title documents attached to the EFCC’s application stated that some of the facilities in some of properties included “excellent road and drainage network; dedicated transformer; borehole for constant water supply; fitted kitchen, bedroom cabinet and wardrobes; ample parking space; and children playing ground.”
The rest of the properties are plots of land in six different locations in Abuja.
Already, the EFCC is prosecuting the former minister before a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Gudu, Abuja, on six corruption-related charges, and his son, Shamsuddeen, before the Federal High Court, Abuja, on 15 counts of money laundering and failure to declare some assets.
The charges against Shamsuddeen involve about N1.1bn.
Recall that two high courts in Abuja had in February ordered the former minister and his son to forfeit 10 properties located in Jabi, Garki, Maitama and Jahi and other areas of Abuja.

Nigerian Top 10 Football Players Of All Time
There are many things that Nigeria lacks. But football talent is not one of them. Right from the time the country gained its independence till the present day, it has been a force to reckon with in the world of football. It was Nigeria’s exploits in the Atlanta Olympic tournament in 1994 that made one of the highly rated football analysts to declare that the future of football belongs to Africa.
However, before the era of the dream team that took the world by surprise, several Nigerian players have been doing wonderful things both in the national team and club levels. So, below is a list of the 10 best Nigerian footballers of all time. Below is the full list of the footballers from number 10 to number 1..
He was the most popular footballer from the country in his era. He made giant strides in the country’s football, and since 1949, his popularity has soared. His shot was one of the strongest then, and that was why he was nicknamed ‘Thunder’. He was actually the person that opened the door for Nigerian professionals to play in foreign clubs, as he was the first to achieve this with FC Peterborough in the UK. He made the country popular in the world of football. That explains why the Lagos state stadium is named after him.
He is one of the best two the country has had. He was so skillful that world best players like Ronaldinho were learning from him. He started his career early enough, and at 20, he was already playing for Nigeria national team. He played in the 1994 world cup, and was a runner up in CAF player of the year award two times. He later won the BBC footballer of the year. He has been listed by Pele as one of the best 125 living players. He is the 12th best player in Africa, and scored the 1000th goal in CAF. His club playing experience took him to PSG, Bolton Wanderers and Hull City.

So, below is a list of the 10 best Nigerian footballers of all time. Below is the full list of the footballers from number 10 to number 1..
(10). Stephen Okechukwu Keshi
Stephen Okechukwu Keshi of blessed memory cannot be left out in the list of the best footballers that Nigeria has produced. Born in the Bauchi state of Nigeria in 1962, he started playing football at a very tender age. He was among the highest scoring defenders, and also did his defensive job excellently. The longest serving Nigerian captain was among the pillars of the Nigerian team in the 1994 world cup. Participating in five CAF Nations cups, he won one as a player and later won another as a coach, making him the second person to make that record. He played for Lokeren, Anderlecht, RC Strasbourg, Sacramento Scorpions and a host of many other clubs.
(9). Teslim ‘Thunder’ Balogun
He was the most popular footballer from the country in his era. He made giant strides in the country’s football, and since 1949, his popularity has soared. His shot was one of the strongest then, and that was why he was nicknamed ‘Thunder’. He was actually the person that opened the door for Nigerian professionals to play in foreign clubs, as he was the first to achieve this with FC Peterborough in the UK. He made the country popular in the world of football. That explains why the Lagos state stadium is named after him.(8). Emmanuel Amunike
He was always the guy that scores the decider in matches, and this made him very popular. It was him who gave the African cup of nations to the country in 1994 with his decider. When Nigeria came to the world cup for the first time in 1994, he also scored two important goals. In the national team, he recorded more successes than any other player, winning the AFCON in 1994 and the Olympic Gold in 1996. He played professionally for Barcelona FC, Sporting Lisbon and Zamalek, winning the CAF player of the year in 1994.(7). Taribo West
Many people will remember him for his look and character. But when it comes to being tenacious as a marksman, just point the player out for him, and he will make sure the player achieves nothing in the pitch. He was so effective in man marking and one on one defense and was among the gold medalists in the Atlanta Olympics. He has since been ordained a pastor, even though he was so fetish during his playing years.(6). Segun Odegbami
He was so good in tactics that he was nicknamed the mathematical Odegbami. He started his career in Jos, Nigeria and played for the shooting stars of Ibadan till he retired in 1984. During these years, he featured for Nigeria 46 times and scored 23 goals. It was him that led Nigeria to their first Nations Cup triumph in 1980. He also intended running for the FIFA presidency, but later dropped the intention.(5). Sunday Oliseh
He had a long spell that was characterized by success. He is among the best the country has produced when it comes to the defensive midfield position. During his playing days, he had stints at Juventus, Dortmund, and Ajax. It was his goal that gave Nigeria victory over Spain in the 1998 world cup that was hosted by France. Spain was among the favorites for the tournament. But Nigeria beat them 3 goals to 2. He had 4 goals in his 63 games for the country.(4). Victor Ikpeba
The prince of Monaco is unarguably among the best Nigeria has had. You don’t get to be named the prince of such a football club and city if you are not very good. He was so lethal in the French Ligue 1 that his skills were told wherever he goes. He scores amazing goals with his heavy shot, making him rack 84 in 102 appearances for the French club. In the national team, he was voted the CAF player of the year in 1997, and also picked a gold medal with the dream team in the 1996 Olympics.(3). Rashidi Yekini
He remains the man with the record of the all-time highest scorer for the country. He was so prolific in attack that defenders are always afraid of him. In 70 appearances for the country, he scored 37 goals. He started playing for the shooting stars at his young age, and later moved to Vitória Setúbal in the Portuguese league where he won the highest scorer with 34 goals in 32 appearances in 1993-1994. He got the first world cup goal for Nigeria, won the 1994 nations cup with the country, and became the highest scorer of the tournament.
(2). Austin Jay Jay Okocha
He is one of the best two the country has had. He was so skillful that world best players like Ronaldinho were learning from him. He started his career early enough, and at 20, he was already playing for Nigeria national team. He played in the 1994 world cup, and was a runner up in CAF player of the year award two times. He later won the BBC footballer of the year. He has been listed by Pele as one of the best 125 living players. He is the 12th best player in Africa, and scored the 1000th goal in CAF. His club playing experience took him to PSG, Bolton Wanderers and Hull City.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bI6-q4eR1Q
(1). Nwankwo Kanu
He remains the best export from Nigeria in terms of football. He was a player with the most significant showings, and scored goals when it matters most for both his country and the clubs he played for. ‘Papilo’ as he is popularly called, started playing in his local league club, Iwuanyanwu National. He featured in the 1993 Under 17 World Cup, and was the captain of the team that won the gold medal in Atlanta 96, scoring the golden goal that gave Nigeria the medal. In club football, he has more trophies than any other Nigerian player, winning the Champions League, Uefa Cup, three Fa Cups and the English Premier League. For Arsenal, he is the 13th greatest gunner of all time. He was also phenomenal with Ajax and Ac Milan.

Popular Social Media Platform, Pinterest Hits 200 Million Monthly Active Users Today
Pinterest revealed today that it now has 200 million monthly active users, up from 150 million a little under a year ago.

In April this year (2017), the company said it hit 175 million monthly active users, so it seems it’s been able to grow pretty methodically in the past year or so. That’s going to be a good sign for the company, which set some very ambitious targets in early 2015but has since had to recalibrate it. Pinterest recently raised a $150 million financing round at a $12.3 billion valuation. With that financing round, Pinterest was making a full-court press into visual search, which it is trying to pitch as its core competency.
The social media platform has actualized that pitch into a number of products, with the biggest of those being its camera search product Lens. Users can pick up their phones and point their camera at a room, and Pinterest will identify what’s in that room and sync it up with content that’s on the platform. Pinterest benefits from already having a massive well of high-quality photos from both users and businesses, and it can lean on that content as a kind of defensible dataset that might not be available to other companies going after image recognition.
There are other products that Pinterest has come out with to move toward that goal, as well, like Shop the Look and Instant Ideas. Both of those features look to get people quickly searching for the elements within a picture and diving deeper into the rabbit hole of Pinterest — which means they’re more likely to convert to a customer for a potential advertiser. Pinterest president Tim Kendall said the visual search tools were soon coming to its ads in May at TechCrunch Disrupt NY 2017.
Pinterest also released a slew of other metrics to show that the company was still growing beyond its core competencies, such as talking about how more than 75% of sign-ups are coming from outside the U.S. now as it makes a big push internationally. More than half of its users come from outside the U.S., and impressions for the app grew 50% year-over-year. Pinterest also said its male audience — typically an afterthought among observers — has grown more than 50% year-over-year.
To be sure, Pinterest is a different kind of use case than other platforms — and works great for a lot of niches, like wedding planning or recipes. But because of that, it might actually be more vulnerable to companies, like Houzz, picking off its most-popular niches. Houzz, for example, was able to raise a new financing round at a $4 billion valuation off creating something that indirectly models for the same kind of audience you might find on Pinterest.
Facebook Brings “Snooze” Button That Temporarily Hides People In Your News Feed
Are you tired of a friend’s non-stop vacation photos? Bored of hearing about some business Page’s big launch? One of your groups won’t shut up about their upcoming get-together? Now Facebook has a Snooze button that lets you temporarily unfollow friends, Pages, or Groups for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days.

The Snooze button could deter people from permanently unfollowing, unliking, or unfriending things on Facebook, while still giving them control over what they see. Facebook benefits from you maintaining a dense social network, whether for ad targeting, or just surfacing an important life update from a distant acquaintance. So now when you’re annoyed with someone or something, you can solve the problem without severing the connection.
TechCrunch spotted Snooze this morning on Facebook’s desktop site in the US, and are awaiting comment from the company about the status of the feature. We’ll update when we hear back.
To Snooze someone, tap the drop0down arrow in the top right of someone’s post. Now instead of just an unfollow option, there’s “Unfollow or Snooze”. Tap that, and you can choose whether you want to Snooze someone for a day, a week, a month, or permanently unfollow them.
Facebook has been trying to settle in on the best way to let you control the News Feed without being confusing. In 2012 it offered a “See Less” option on friends’ profiles. But eventually Facebook found this was puzzling for users, since they’d still see that person in their feed, so it wasn’t clear if the option actually did anything. By 2014, Facebook had dropped “See Less” in favor of a definitive “Unfollow” button that let you stay friends but banish them from your feed.
With Snooze, it’s found a way to decrease the noise from a chatty person, group, or Page in a way that’s obvious and intuitive, but doesn’t prohibit Facebook from showing you their most important posts further down the line.
Pages and Groups may benefit from Snooze, since it could reduce the chances of someone unliking or leaving them. But it should also inspire them not to overshare or spam, otherwise they could be put in time-out.
Facebook already constantly modulates how much you see of someone based on implicit signals like if you Like, click, comment on, or share their posts. It will surely use Snoozing as a signal that it should show you less of someone when they’re allowed to reappear. But if we’re going to spend so much of our lives browsing the News Feed curated by Facebook’s faceless algorithm, it’s nice to see the company equip us humans with more than just binary controls.
