The anti-corruption net has spread out to a former Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala after she was invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to explain how about $250million of the $500million recovered from the family of the late Head of State, Gen.Sani Abacha, was withdrawn.
According to findings by the EFCC, the cash was released to the Office of National Security Adviser( ONSA) without appropriation.
Fact-sheet obtained by The Nation shows the Acting Chairman of EFCC, Mr Ibrahim Magu, has approved Mrs Okonjo-Iweala’s invitation.
A top source said: “Magu has approved the invitation of the ex-minister. We have dispatched a letter of invitation to her. We are hopeful that she will respond.
“Her presence is necessary because there were issues about the $250million released especially why $36,155,000(N13,015,800billion) was withdrawn in cash.
“She needs to assist the EFCC team on what became of the balance of $250million which was yet to be traced.
“She has to explain why some of the funds were diverted to extraneous matters including media services, opinion polls and personal matters.”
Furthermore, the fact-sheet shows that the Office of the National Security Adviser in a memo on January 12, 2015, requested the former Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala to transfer $300million.
The memo said: “Please refer to our meeting on recovered funds. You are please requested to remit the sum of $300m and £5.5m to the following account being ONSA share as agreed.
Okonjo-Iweala via a memo to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, reportedly requested for the release of $300m from Abacha loot to the former National Security Adviser (NSA), of which only $250million was released.
On January 29, 2015, the ex-President responded to the ex-Minister as follows: “CME/HMF, approved.”
Meanwhile, Okonjo-Iweala had in 2015 insisted that she had no case to answer, saying former President Jonathan set up a Committee comprising of the former Minister of Justice, former NSA and the former Minister of Finance to determine how best to use both the returned and expected funds for development.
Oluwakemi Abayomi is a 15 year old girl that has disappeared from home after her mother, Mariam Lebi reportedly scolded her for an alleged immoral affair.
According to Punch, her mother had also planned to punish her, including changing her environment, when she did not return home.
The case has been reported to the police at Ilasan Police Station.
It was gathered that the primary six pupil was the mother’s first child. The mother, who is a cleaner in a public school, reportedly separated from her father when she was a toddler.
Lebi, who had had three other children with her new partner, revealed that Abayomi went missing around 1pm on Sunday. She said, “She was living with my mother in the Lekki Beach area.
I stay around Itedo, which is just a stone’s throw from my mother’s place. I got a report of her misbehaviour and told her to bring her luggage to my house. I scolded her and told her that I would take her far away from this vicinity after her common entrance.
She went to my mum’s house on Sunday to pick her luggage. As she was coming back, a tricycle rider I knew told me he picked her and dropped her off at Elf bus stop around 1pm. He said he saw her board a vehicle to Ajah.
She was supposed to alight at Ikate Roundabout, but she didn’t return home. Later, someone told me that a man came to her school to look for her on Wednesday when the school vacated.
I was told that after the discussion, the man gave her a telephone number. Nobody knew who the man was and from the description, I don’t know the man myself.
She was getting wayward and involving herself in immoral relationships when I became angry and decided to change her environment. But I didn’t expect her to disappear from home. She has never done this before and all my relatives said they have not seen her.”

After all said and done, all the talks and apologies, one of the favourite couple in the Big Brother house have finally come to some sort of resolution and to prove this, they shared a quite passionate kiss!
Following her return to the Big Brother House, things were not the same between her and her love interest after she discovered that he has someone outside the house – her feelings for him waxed cold, it even led her to tears.
But later on in the game, he explained himself to her in the calmest way possible and this explanation certainly paid off y’all!

According to the United States, US-based Pastor, “If sex could bring you success in life, BamBam and Teddy A would still be in the Big Brother House.
Ñ”It is better to be interesting than to be sexy. It is best to be submit to Godly principles than to submit to toilet sex.”
Omokri, had on Sunday noted that Bambam was deceived and could not be saved even after having sex with Teddy A in the toilet. He said this following Bambam’s eviction.

It is no longer news that Prince Harry will be getting married to American actress Meghan Markle on the 19th of May this year.
However, Meghan Markle has to keep to these Royal Rules whether she likes it or not as being part of the royal family.
From not travelling without funeral clothes to no selfies and others.
See the don’ts below…
NO TRAVELING WITHOUT FUNERAL CLOTHES
After Princess Elizabeth was visiting Kenya with Prince Philip, she was caught off guard when her father, King George VI, died suddenly. She had to travel sans mourning clothes, and since then, all royals must carry funeral clothes with them on all trips.”This ensures that when they return to the U.K. they are seen to be in a respectful mood that correlates with the presumable sombre mindset of the nation during that period,” The Independent reports.
NO SELFIES
Cute dog-face filters will be a thing of the past for Markle when she becomes a duchess. And it looks like she’s already practicing this rule. On her first official event with Prince Harry, the actress revealed that she is no longer allowed to take selfies with fans when a couple asked for a picture with her. “We’re not allowed to do selfies,” she reportedly told the couple.The rule was established to encourage people to make eye contact and make conversation with royals, instead of turning their backs to them (a huge no-no) to take a selfie. “Turning your back to the Duke and Duchess and taking a selfie is discouraged if at all possible. I know it’s fun to do, but they much would rather see your face,” Jennifer Gehmair, a Royal Family etiquette expert, told Smooth Radio.
NO AUTOGRAPHS
In the same vein as selfie-taking, Markle will no longer be allowed to sign autographs when she becomes a royal. The rule stems from a fear that autographs will lead people to forge their signatures, which is why they’re only allowed to sign royal documents and, sometimes, visitors’ books, according to The Royal U.K., a website dedicated to the family.In 2010, this rule was broken by Prince Charles who scribbled “Charles 2010” on a piece of paper for a family whose home was destroyed by a natural disaster, according to Daily Mail. He reportedly apologized for his “shaky writing” because he “never writes standing up.” NO SOCIAL MEDIA
Markle’s social media, including her Twitter and Instagram, have been inactive for months. As you might expect, she will no longer be able to use her own personal accounts. Instead, like Prince Harry, William, and Kate Middleton, she will use the family’s Kensington Royal account to share updates on her life and royal happenings. The account is where the family shared her engagement pictures and announcement.
NO P.D.A.
Despite the frequent hand-holding and touching we’ve seen from Prince Harry and Markle, P.D.A. is quite rare in the Royal Family. Though there is no official rule that restricts public displays of affection, there is a longstanding tradition that royal couples keep their P.D.A. to a minimum, according to royal etiquette expert, Myka Meier, for People.That might be why you’ve rarely seen Kate Middleton and Prince William kiss in public since their wedding. Given that Markle and Prince Harry already almost broke this rule when they held hands during their engagement announcement, Meier predicts that this rule will slowly be fizzled out by the couple. “Meghan and Prince Harry holding hands at a royal engagement is a refreshingly modern approach to their new role both as a couple and as representative of the royal family,” Meier said.
NO VOTING
When Markle marries Prince Harry, she will obtain her U.K. citizenship, but that doesn’t mean that she will be able to participate in the same rights that other U.K. citizens can. Though it isn’t outlawed, an official site for the U.K. parliament claims that it is “unconstitutional” for the Monarch to vote and that many Royal Family members also don’t participate in elections out of “convention.””Although not prohibited by law, it is considered unconstitutional for the Monarch to vote in an election,” the site states.
NO ADULT BRIDESMAIDS
There has been a lot of talk about whether Markle’s celebrity BFFs, Serena Williams and Priyanka Chopra, will show up to her wedding as bridesmaids. But, per royal tradition, it’s very unlikely that a royal bride has adult bridesmaids.
According to European royal expert Marlene Koenig, who spoke to Town and Country, it is “unusual” for a bride to have a bridesmaid or maid of honor over 30 at her wedding. Typically, the wedding party includes children or pre-teenagers.However, Koenig explained that this rule was recently broken twice.
Once, when Kate Middleton recruited her sister, Pippa, as a bridesmaid in 2011, and another time when the queen had a group of bridesmaids roughly the same age as her when she married in 1947. These semi-recent weddings might suggest a new tradition for Markle’s nuptials.

NO COLORED NAIL POLISH
Take a look at Markle’s hands in the recent months, and you’ll notice that she’s already started following this rule. According to sources for OK! magazine, Royal Family members are prohibited from wearing dark and colored nail polish, meaning that they stick with skin-tone shades. Both the Queen and Kate Middleton are a fan of Essie’s $9 peachy colors, so we’re predicting Markle will also be a big customer of the brand.
NO WEDGES
This isn’t an official rule, but it’s highly likely that Markle will be purging her closet of all her wedges soon. According to a source for Vanity Fair, the Queen despises wedges and makes it very clear to the women in the Royal Family that their outfit will not be well-received if it includes the shoes.”The Queen isn’t a fan of wedged shoes. She really doesn’t like them and it’s well known among the women in the family,” the source said.
NO EATING AT HER OWN PACE
Along with learning how to properly greet the Queen, Markle will need to learn how to eat with her, as well. According to Diane Gottsman, author of Modern Etiquette for a Better Life, who spoke to Bravo, there are strict rules when eating with the Queen. One, Markle will not begin eating until the Queen has started. Second, she needs to keep a close eye on the Queen’s plate because when she finishes, everyone around her also must stop eating, even if there is still food. This could be a struggle considering how quickly the Queen eats, according to rumor.”No one should start eating before the Monarch and no one should carry on eating after the Monarch has finished,” Gottsman said.
NO CROSSED LEGS WHEN SITTING
Though it’s not an official rule, it’s frowned upon for Royal Family members to cross their legs when sitting, according to an expert for Hello! This is likely why you’ll never see a picture of Kate Middleton crossing her legs. Instead, Middleton puts her legs side-by-side and slightly tilts them—a pose dubbed as “the Duchess Slant.” Princess Diana also used the position to avoid crossing her legs.
NO SLEEPING IF THE QUEEN IS UP
Though she’s allowed to rest whenever she wants in her home, when she stays at the Queen’s house, Markle must stay up until the Queen goes to sleep, according to the Daily Beast. Luckily, the Queen almost never goes to sleep after 11:30 p.m. (to not throw off her schedule the next day), so Markle won’t have to stay up too late.
NO ENTERING A ROOM FIRST
Along with sitting next to Prince Harry 99 percent of the time she’s at a Royal Family gathering, Markle will also need to be wary of who is entering the room and when. According to Reader’s Digest, there is a strict hierarchy for who can enter a room first. The order goes: Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Camila, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and then likely, Prince Harry and Markle.

Mike Bamiloye has voiced his opinion on the attitude of Church instrumentalists.
Bamiloye shared his thoughts on Facebook.
I HAVE A SERIOUS CONCERN The Church Instrumentalists. Those Young Men and Boys that play Musical instruments in the Church. I don’t Understand Many of Them. I come Across them everywhere I have gone. As if their Attitudes have been Universally Agreed upon. You will be Preaching, They will be Fiddling with Guitar Strings. You will be Teaching, many of them will be Sleeping or browsing. Messages of great importance will be blaring out to the Congregation, They will be using their Keyboard to Confirm what the Preachers are saying. When Everyone is in sober reflections on the vital message, they will be playing Nollywood mood music. AND THE ALTAR CALL IS MADE AND PEOPLE ARE COMING OUT FOR SALVATION OR REDEDICATION OF LIFE, THEY WILL BEGIN TO PLAY: “I surrender All…” TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO THE ALTAR. BUT THEY MOST OF THE TIME DONT SEE THE REASON FOR THEM TO REDEDICATE THEIR LIVES TO JESUS. AND THEY RARELY COME OUT FOR ALTAR CALLS. I am Sorry, Maybe it is Only me that has observed this.
Actress and entrepreneur, Chika Ike took to her Instagram page to narrate how she was constantly bullied while growing up because of her body and height.
Read her story below…
“I never liked my body growing up and was constantly bullied about it. I was so skinny and was the tallest in my class.
“I never looked forward to morning assembly because I’ll have to stand at the back of the class or class presentations to talk about “your best friend “ because I’ll be described as the thin girl.
I can remember eating all sorts to things to gain weight but nothing worked, I really craved to have some flesh on me.
“I was called all sorts of names like Lepa, thin girl and Agric chicken because I was so skinny and tall.
“So I started modeling as soon as I graduated from secondary school because modeling agents thought I had “the look”.
Today the reverse is the case, I’m on all sorts of diet programs and exercising every other day to keep the weight I’ve always wanted in check, I feel bad after licking ice cream or eating anything with high-calorie content because ill have to suffer in the gym.
Growing up slim wasn’t cool now its cool. The truth is you have to constantly love you, you can’t be cool to everyone, the world will always have a standard of what you should be, who you should be and how you should live your life.
If you want to make changes or improvements let it not be because of pressure or people’s unconscious bias about you.Do it for you.
You should hold your pen and draw your life plan… Do you… Mind your business…..Run your race.
Do not let anyone define you or rush you with their timeline. We all have different stories, journeys, and different clocks. You are you and that is your power!

Biodun Okeowo, Nollywood actress who is best known in the Yoruba movie industry has been called out by a fan after she gave an inconsistent story of her grass to grace growth.
Yesterday we brought you news on the actress narrating via Instagram how she got pregnant mistakenly eighteen years ago which made her face many struggles in life before she eventually made it.
Biodun Okeowo wrote:
”Eighteen years ago, I got pregnant. A mistake I thought has ruined my life. People laughed, jeered and mocked me… #YetIwon#
The embarrassment was too much, that it gave me strength to decide I must go back to school. I enrolled at L.A.S.U (part-time)
With no support from anyone except my mum. I did so many menial jobs to cater for myself and the new baby. I fried doughnuts and Chin chin, which I supply to retailers on campus. I sold rice outside mummy’s shop on days that I have no lectures. I sold hair extensions, make hair, ‘stay awake overnight to make hair for people (one million braid) was in vogue then.
I remembered a particular day I fed my son with soaked garri! Yes, I couldn’t afford a tin of even the cheapest ‘My boy’ baby food then.. #yetIwon
I struggled, refused to beg, worked, toiled, laboured to be able to stand on my feet. Whatever you are going through be strong, positive, hardworking, and steadfast. And No matter how poor you are, invest the little you get into something.
Fast track to 2006 I joined the movie industry after my IT at The Lagos State Television Agidingbi. Acting is another chapter in my life. I experienced mockery, intimidation. I was called different names, looked down upon, aliases like “Biodun oni cut and sew” and “Tolani Alankara”
I could not afford the expensive cloth/costumes. I was not sophisticated enough. #YetIwon.
Dresses/dressing didn’t pave way for me neither did it stop my success. However, my God given talent make it all possible and easy.
The name people call you today doesn’t define you… be focused, strong, determined and be content with whatever you have.
I almost quit because of intimidation, but that strength of “i must make it” came into play. I refused to be intimidated,bow to pressures,or borrow. I was contented with my “cut and sew”. #yetIwon
Then came the trial that pushed me into becoming an entrepreneur.! For two years I was ignored, no movie jobs, not because of inexperience but because of… yet I persisted. #yetIwon.
I prayed,fasted, and believed in myself. Thereafter, I did a movie that launched me back into reckoning #YetIwon#strongwomen#M
That experience pushed me into the business world in 2011, which wasn’t a success but I wasn’t discouraged. I ventured into another, gave all my being… prayer, Time, money.. Here I am.. a proud girl.. proud of the woman I become, I AM A WINNER.
Don’t be pushed. Your time is different from mine. Mine is different from yours. God’s time is the best. The rejected stone has now become a cornerstone”.
However, a fan of the curvy actress with retentive memory called her attention to an interview in which she claimed she got married as a virgin, which is quite different from her narrative of getting pregnant eighteen years ago.
Read the interview below.
As unbelievable as it may seem the actress married as a virgin. At least, she told Potpourri that much in a recent chat. Now, how many women can come forward with such a claim in this flurry-hurry world of quick fix.
“Yes, I did and I can boldly say that,” she declared.
She then went on to bemoan the spate of pre-marital sex among the youths these days, saying it is not a good sign for the future
“It is saddening that pre-marital sex has taken over our time. In the past, most of our men would disassociate themselves from girls who have been deflowered outside wedlock. Then, a woman’s virginity was her pride but time has changed and human beings have changed. I am not happy about it. Maybe we should blame civilisation or modernisation for this. I pray for God’s intervention in this era”
Describing her first encounter with sex, she says
“My first experience was full of fear, uncertainty, pain and alas! I loved it at the end”
Meanwhile, some Nigerian celebrities have taken to the social media handles to react to the shocking eviction of Big Brother Naija 2018 housemate, Teddy A.
Teddy A was removed from the reality television show last night joining his romantic partner, Bambam, who was earlier evicted on Saturday.
While some of the celebrities felt the musician-ex-housemate did not pay the needed attention to why he was in the house, others are of the opinion that he will still make it outside the show.
Speaking immediately after his eviction, Teddy A had said he will now focus on his music career.
Noble Igwe wrote: “You are a superstar You’d go far Your music will take you places The platform showcased you to Africa but your talent will take your further. You kept it 100 and that’s rare Now , it’s time to plan the house party with Teddy A. Maybe we get to watch the live show at mine.”
According to Don Jazzy, “Bambam and Teddy will be very fine. Win or no win. They are mad talented and ready for industry.”
@Tayofaniran wrote, “Teddy A got the memo on the physical part of the game but not so much on the tactical side of it, I really pray and hope he doesn’t allow that ruin his game,there’s still a lot he can do to work this sh*t out,goodluck soldier.”
The Big Brother Naija live nomination show has just ended.
Here are the names of the housemates that are up for possible eviction and how they nominated.
However, we were shocked while watching the show as Miracle nominated Cee-C and Lolu while Lolu nominated Cee-C and Miracle….what a coincidence right?
See the full list below:
Tobi – Lolu and Nina
Khloe – Nina and Alex
Miracle – Cee-C and Lolu
Alex – Rico and Cee-C
Lolu – Cee-C and Miracle
Anto – Cee-C and Rico
Rico – Cee-C and Lolu
Nina – Lolu and Cee-C
Cee-C – Alex and Anto
Tobi was however not nominated for eviction this week.
The housemates up for Eviction this week are: Miracle, Lolu, Rico, Nina, CeeC, Alex.
Miracle was put up for eviction by head of house, Khloe.
There you have it, which housemates do you think will be going home this week?
Big Brother Naija 2018 housemate, Cee-C shocked viewers by revealing that she met show host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu to make way for her in the reality show.
Recall that rumours surfaced sometime ago that the housemate is a sister-in-law to Ebuka. However, Ebuka’s wife, debunked the rumours.
While speaking on Sunday with fellow housemates about their careers, Cee-C boasted that she went and met Ebuka which reportedly paved way for her to be selected for the show, according to a report by DailyPost.
“I know myself. I’m a f**king lawyer. People have been calling me, asking what is wrong with me, saying ‘girl come on! Go do your masters and face your career.’
“But they don’t understand why I finish law school and decided to come to Big Brother Naija house.
“I know people. If I tell you how I met that one that came here yesterday (Ebuka) you won’t believe it.
“One day I drove my car to see him to tell him I want to be part of the show.
“When he asked my name and I told him, he was surprised based on ‘who I be’.
“And just last week, we met Adesua. That is life. Just knowing people.” Cee-C revealed.
Viewers of the show had in the past accused the organizers of handpicking selected people for the show because of the people they known unlike last year’s edition. A former Big Brother Naija housemate, Gifty even expressed the same concern.

Winnie Madikizela-Mandela has died on Easter Monday, aged 81, her personal assistant said today.
Her personal assistant Zodwa Zwane gave no further details but said a statement would be released later.
Earlier this year, Nelson Mandela’s ex-wife was hospitalized for a kidney ailment and exhaustion.
She was admitted to a Johannesburg hospital in January, after complaining of a ‘loss of appetite’ and that ‘one of her legs was painful’.
Ms Madikizela-Mandela had also been in and out of hospital since 2016 for back and knee surgery.
Ms Madikizela-Mandela married Nelson Mandela in 1956, six years before he was imprisoned for his fight against apartheid in 1962.
During her ex-husband’s 27-year imprisonment, Ms Madikizela-Mandela campaigned for his release and the rights of black South Africans.
She became a symbol for the anti-apartheid struggle, undergoing arrest and banishment herself.
She walked side-by-side with her husband upon his 1990 release, and as he became South Africa’s president in the first post-apartheid elections.
IN 1996, Mandela divorced her and fired her as deputy minister of arts and culture, but she kept his name and stayed close to her ex-husband until his death.

Sharing the news on social media yesterday, Imo City News wrote: “This dolphin was killed today in Ibeno local government in Akwa Ibom State.
A humble fish that can save people from dying in water was killed by a Nigerian.”
Read reactions below:
Agbowu Christ Ejike wrote: “Lols is there any law preventing him from fishing in such river or killing such fish in such river ? I share your sentiments though but we should be more concerned about our country men killed everyday in the hands of monsters, and our own lives too, because, we will have to live first to save animals. What a poor thing!”
Onyenkuzi Biafra Ebuka added: “Edon Ooh why do you kill this harmless and caring fish that always save human life the most fastest fish on earth that love human being so much…dont kill such fish next.”

Another commenter, Egbuchulam Charles Uzoma added: “Oga na ignoramus, don’t blame him so much, bad government for 9ja follow,

We’ve previusly brought you reports about a Nigerian singer who totally looks like Actress, Adesua Etomi.
Meet Dirichi, a young Nigerian Lady from Imo State, who recently completed her one year mandatory NYSC program….
Dirichi right now, has been fingered to either be Adesua’s Sister or an offspring of Adesua Herself! Because the striking resemblance between Dirichi and Adesua is uncanny.
Though Dirichi is a Singer, and she’s testing the waters in the entertainment industry, with a growing fan base, her resemblance to Mrs Banky W has drawn a lot of followers to her page.
C.E.O of Payporte, Eyo Basssey has reacted to the eviction of housemates, Teddy A and BamBam from the on-going reality show.
Payporte is the official sponsor of Big Brother Naija 2018.
Teddy A was on Sunday night evicted, few hours after his romantic partner, Bambam also got evicted.
Reacting, Eyo stated that housemates were warned that sex or nudity didn’t guarantee support from viewers.
Eyo wrote on Twitter:
”I hope everyone will understand and see clearly that ‘sex and nudity does not sell on #BBnaija. @payporte has maintained this position. Compared to last season when neither sex or nudity was televised we all can judge. I hope my fellow colleagues can get the message. #Bamteddy.
”I warned and they refused to listen. Sex doesn’t sell this @bigbrothernaija. we insisted on this last season and the show was clean and shattered all records. This weekend eviction is another pointer.”
Then he immediately retracted his statement, and posted the below;
Police in Kampala has in detention a man, identified as Kadu Herbert, who earlier in the morning stormed Namirembe cathedral church and attempted to attack Bishop Wilberforce Kityo Luwalira while on the altar.
According to eye witnesses, Kadu came at the church premises cruising in his super custom and parked at the main entrance to the church.
Although there was heavy presence of security personnel, Kadu is said to have beat the security and ran through the church corridor, armed with a knife, as if to beat Bishop Luwarira.
The man of God was however saved by the swift church ushers who rushed, grabbed but were overpowered and called in the police that took him away to Namirembe police post.
Speaking to media after the incident, Luwarira said the man looked as if possessed and couldnot be stopped.
Luke Owoyesigire, the Kampala Metropolitan police spokesperson says they are interrogating Kadu to establish his motive.
Khloe, has emerged as the new Head of House for this week, making it the second time she’ll be occupying the position.
As part of the rewards of emerging Head of House for the week, Khloe will enjoy immunity from being nominated for eviction and at the same time possess some veto power over other housemates on the Big Brother Naija show.
Recall that, Khloe was initially disqualified from the show, but was brought back to the House when Big Brother announces that viewers had the power to bring back two evicted housemates by voting for the fellow housemates who they want to see on the show.
Khloe and Anto had the highest number of votes and were brought back to the House to continue the game.
The internet has been inundated with the news of an upcoming Camon X device from TECNO Mobile which will run on the latest Android 8.1 Oreo.
According to what we heard, the upcoming smartphone will launch with a highly rated Selfie camera that shoots better pictures than the almighty iPhone X.
There are rumours that the upcoming smartphone will feature a Blink and snap feature that will make it possible to take selfie with just a blink of the eyes.
While we cannot confirm how true this was, TECNO CAMON devices have not just been awesome, but have totally changed people’s perception about smartphone cameras in recent times.
I got this camera comparison , I don’t know how true it is but images on the right are the Camon X, left is iPhone X and definitely the Camon X is better.
Looking at the picture, the one on the right maintained the natural colour of the lady with a well-balanced exposure while the one on the left looks more saturated.
IPhone X VS Camon X-Portrait Mode
In this second picture, both devices did a good job of blurring out the background but the picture on the right has lost the natural colour of the lady and the cloth is completely washed out.
No doubt both devices did a good job but one would wonder that despite the over $1000 price of the iPhone X, the Camon device still goes head to head against Apple’s most expensive phone.
I still don’t think this comparison is true but let’s wait till the device is out. The upcoming smartphone is expected to be launched globally on the 5th of April in Lagos, Nigeria.
Over to you guys,
What do you all think about these results? Do you think the upcoming Camon X camera is better than the IPhone X?
