Na Pikin Go So oooo @obama_dmw 44 we no talk like this ooo , I still no believe am ooo
He advised Nigerians to go for medical checkup as well as work out frequently.
“I know so many of you will not like what I am saying, but it must be said.
You see why we are shouting that you should take care of your health, go to the hospital, do medical check-up, know the situation of your body.
ALL these people, everyday, you smoke everything, you drink excessively, but at the end of the day it is your body that everything tells on.
I am not saying I am a perfect human being but I am just telling you that we should all take care of our health.
Young people are dying,” he passionately cried out.
Popular Nollywood actress, Adaeze Eluke has taken to social media to advise men to speak up when they need help.
According to the actress, as a man, opening up about your feelings or challenges is not in any way a sign of weakness.
Adaeze Eluke who noted that over seventy-five percent of people who commit suicide in the world today are men, urged them to open up about whatever they are going through.
In her words,
“Dear men asking for help is not weakness. 75% of people who commit suicide in the world today are men. Stop manning up and speak up to someone today”.
Ada’s advise has however stirred mixed reactions on social media. An Instagram user noted that the reason why most men do not speak up is because they rarely get help even after opening up.
In his words, “But ma when we speak no body even dey answer”.
@edem_abraham2020 wrote, “No one listens if men speak, should we continue speaking.? Especially this part of the world all power is given to the women over the men. Lord have mercy”.
When smartphones became full-screen devices, color, material & finish (CMF) became more important than ever before. In a world where almost all phones look relatively similar, Infinix took a step in a new direction, bring a color-changing back cover to a device with next-generation design & aesthetics.
The Infinix concept phone is a collection of cutting-edge technology, bold colors, and creative design. The phone’s back cover takes “NOW” as the design element. It uses bold lines for concise construction, which fits in with the current trend that young people look for in the design of a device. When this device charges, the silver-gray, light blue, and bright green mobile phone body bloom on the back cover, which represents an energetic beautiful color reflecting the vibrant personalities of Infinix users.
In an industry-first design innovation, Infinix, with the world’s first dual color-changing back cover, introduced two industry-leading photochromic technologies, “electrochromic” and “electroluminescence”, which are combined and applied to the back cover glass of the concept phone.
The Infinix concept phone uses solid electrochromic film SECF (solid memory electrochromic film) in the smartphone body, which is a stable and reversible color change material under the action of external an electric field. SECF is ultra-thin, energy-saving, and super transparent. The Infinix concept phone uses SECF as a flexible electrochromic film pasted on the back of the mobile phone body. On the basis of electrochromism, Infinix added electroluminescent film. Electroluminescence converts the electric energy into light by using the characteristics of light produced by the light-emitting materials under the action of an electric field.
Electroluminescence has been widely used in other fields, such as Automobile surface coating, but it has rarely been used on mobile phones because of its power consumption and transformer volume. After researching, Infinix finally designed an EL film suitable for a mobile phone, which made the whole structure light and thin. EL light-emitting film has the characteristics of strong concentration, vibrant color, and solid form.
With these two technologies combined, when the user receives an incoming call or charges their mobile phone, it detects these two signals and will operate a “current command” to change the color of the back cover, so the mobile phone will show different colors when changing modes.
When there is an incoming call, the back cover of the phone changes between silver gray and light blue. When charging, the back cover of the phone not only changes color but also flashes a green dot rhythmic in the middle of the back cover. The green light is combined with the circle in the middle of the “NOW” character to form a green energy ball, which is connected to the charging port by an extension line, and green energy gushes out from the charging port and is injected into the device showing the transfer of power, so that “NOW” can be distinguished at a glance with the symbolic aesthetic characters of science and technology. See for yourself from Unbox Therapy.
The Infinix concept phone is both an exploration of futuristic technology and next-generation aesthetics, which ingeniously combines pattern design and optical technology. This concept phone is a small step forward for Infinix, but for the industry as a whole, it’s a peek behind the curtain of the amazing technology we will see in many different smartphones in the near future.

The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mele Kyari, has stated that the price of Premium Motor Spirit, petrol should be more than N280/litre at which Automotive Gas Oil, also known as diesel, is being sold.
According to Mele Kyari, smuggling of petrol from Nigeria had impacted negatively on the Nigerian oil sector but added that this would not lead to another closure of the borders.
He disclosed this on Tuesday during a Channels TV programme, where he noted that efforts were being made to curb smuggling.
The NNPC boss said although petrol evacuation by NNPC in Nigeria was currently about 60 million litres daily, the corporation was sure that consumption was not up to that volume.
He said organized smuggling was the reason for the huge consumption volume, stressing that the low petrol price of N162/litre was also an incentive for this.
Kyari said,
“Today we are paying N162/litre (for petrol). I am sure many people buy AGO (diesel) in the market and it is selling at N280/litre in the market today.
“So (there is) nowhere in the world diesel sells more expensive than PMS. That means that the price of petrol anywhere in the world, assuming you are going to sell it at the market, you are going to sell it above that price you have seen.”
On what the landing cost of petrol could be as of Tuesday, Kyari said the cost of the commodity at filling stations would be around N256 per litre, with lower price as its landing price.
“Today, from what I can remember, I checked the number two days ago; what would we sell if we are at the filling station today and recover our cost fully is around N256/litre,” he stated.
Kyari said the ongoing meetings between the government and the organised labour on petrol price had not been concluded and could drag beyond next July.
He explained that negotiations on the cost of petrol would have to be concluded to enable the government to effect a change in the cost of the commodity.
