Who told you Xiaomi mi 4 is 2015 model
Get your facts right, Mi 4 is 2014 flagship device, Xiaomi didn't release any mi flagship device in the year 2015.

Bloggers wanna be.

You are right. Thanks

The Xiaomi Mi 4 is the 2015 (It's 2014) model while the Xiaomi Mi 5 is the 2016 model, both devices are high-end devices coming into the market cheap.
The latter is the latest flagship device of the company, and comes in two variants; the Pro and the standard.
The Mi 5 comes in 10 grams lighter than the Mi 4, and is also significantly thinner than the Mi 4 at 7.2mm versus the Mi 4’s 8.9mm thickness. Both devices come in black or white, but the Mi 5 also has a gold option.

Both phones were launched to cater for two groups: power users who favoured battery life and audiophiles who preferred high quality audio and internal space.

Some cities are blessed with a lot of tourist attraction sites. You find yourself swinging from one end to another. It is a wonderful thing except that it can get overwhelming. If you have limited time to spend in the city then it becomes important to consider where to visit first or memorable places that will have you hitching for another visit. If you are visiting Accra for the first time, then you should check out these places.

Independence Square

I like to explore a city starting from the core of its culture and history. The Independence Square is definitely an important place to visit for this purpose. The Independence Square, commissioned by Kwame Nkrumah, is the second largest city square in the world. The Square is symbolic of the struggle for independence. It houses the Independence Arch and the Black Star Monument. Ghanaians gather here every year for the Independence Day celebration. Walking around the square, looking at the monuments, you can’t but appreciate the beauty of the structures and the essence of freedom.

The National Theatre

The astonishing design of the National Theatre of Ghana is something to behold when in Accra. The architectural design is structured to look like a gigantic ship. Besides watching performances in the theatre, the whole environment is aesthetically pleasing. This place is central to the performing arts in the country and you can have a feel of the arts and entertainment world here.

Labadi Beach

No better way to enjoy a beautiful weather day than a visit to the beach. The Labadi beach also called La Pleasure Beach is a popular beach in the Greater Region of Accra. The sandy white beach is warm and all about pleasure as the name suggests. Go and enjoy a leisure walk, horse ride or the exciting performances on the beach. You will have to pay an entrance fee to have access to the beach.

Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum and Memorial Park

The monument was installed to honour the prominent Ghanaian leader, Kwame Nkrumah. The masterpiece is located in the heart of the city, making it easy for visitors to locate. The mausoleum is the final resting place of the remains of Nkrumah. Take a tour of the park and the museum to see some of the personal possessions of Kwame Nkrumah.

Fantasy Coffin Workshop

Just when you think you have seen it all, a trip to the Fantasy Coffin Workshop will have you totally thrilled. The fantasy coffins stem out of the rich culture of the Ga people who believe in the afterlife. The coffins come in different shapes signifying class and profession of the deceased. At the workshop, you will find carpenters working on different ideas.
This is easily the Disney world of coffins. Accra radiates of beauty, culture and creativity; all of which you shouldn’t miss when you visit.

Transport and accommodation do swallow up a great deal of travel budget. You get to your destination and find it almost impossible to indulge in other things on the trip. A good thing to do in this situation is to find ways to cut down cost of accommodation while still aiming for a really good hotel. With some of these tips, you should be able to score great hotel deals and price rates.

Time your trip

Timing plays a big role in getting good hotel deals. Naturally, hotels in popular destinations will be more expensive during the peak tourist season. The best thing to do is plan your visit around off season periods when room rates will be lower. Also, businesses generally do promos around special times in the year like the Easter season. This might just be a good opportunity for you to get that special rate at a very good hotel.

Use Online Hotel Book Portals

The growing popularity of online hotel booking portals is a great thing. One of such companies, Jovago.com, recently launched operations in Ghana. It is a very effective way of checking several hotels; comparing facilities and prices within minutes. For a budget traveller, it is a very important tool to find affordable accommodation. Use the filter on the sites to browse through your options and make sure to read the reviews.

Be Flexible

You have to be flexible and ready to let go of some conveniences such as in-room mini bar or tea and coffee making facilities. You can always get hot water for tea and coffee through other means. There are decent hotels at an affordable price range but the rooms don’t come with free WiFi. Just stick to your own mobile data plan or you can think of it as your time away from the internet. You might also consider checking for rooms in low cost areas of the city as hotels there would naturally be cheaper than the highbrow areas.

Special Discounts

The room rates of some hotels on booking portals are already offered at discounts but there are usually more hotel deals. You can keep tabs on special occasion discounts by signing up for newsletters. Sometimes there are partnership deals between hotel booking portals and airlines to provide special packages for their customers. Through the newsletters, you can get to know about these partnerships and packaged deals you can make use of when travelling.

Call the customer representative

The customer care representatives are in the best position to advise you and they are always available to serve you. Call them to find out the best hotel within your price range, hotel deals or available discounts. Don’t hesitate to ask them questions and you can even get them to call you back so you save your call credit.

Even when you are not on a budget, cutting down cost to accommodate other expenses is a good idea. If you are visiting Ghana, take advantage of the recent launch of Jovago and secure a room in the best hotels in Ghana at affordable rates. http://www.jovago.com/en-gb/hotels/ghana/65

If you didn’t grow up in Lagos, adjusting to the hustling and bustling life of the city may be difficult for you even if you are just to spend few days, especially if you grew up in a calm city like Agbor town or Akure.

People who are visiting Lagos for the first time or have never visited usually have different conceptions based on the stories they have garnered from various Lagosians they have met back at home, many have concluded they cannot settle in Lagos – “it is too noisy”, “it is overcrowded”, “I can’t cope with the stress of the traffic” they do say.

You will agree that sometimes, circumstances beyond your control will make you become a resident of Lagos or a visitor – new job, marriage or attending an event of a loved one. Putting aside the stories you have heard, everyone can cope in Lagos, you just need to open your mind to it and adhere to some dos and don’ts like these ones below.

The 5 Dos

Keep Calm and be respectful

You may probably see new things around - landmarks, structures, and more, it’s okay to look, but staring for too long or touching may just make you look awkward with people around wondering what planet you dropped from. Learn to say sorry if you bump into someone, don’t attack with words like “are you blind?” or any other offensive word - try as much as possible to stay out of arguments.

Don’t look Intimidated or Frightened

Depending on the area, there may be lots of noise from traffic or people yelling at each other, don’t let that frighten you, simply go about your business or steer clear from the area and move as fast as you can because you may never tell when a fight will break out from those arguments. Don’t be sloppy or move around like a wanderer, act smart rather than intimidated by the environment.

Blend

Relax, not everyone in Lagos is out to snatch your belongings like you may have probably heard from those stories. Contribute sensibly to discussions; be warm and friendly – when you need to. Yes, about your dressing, if you do not want to draw stares or fall a prey to robbery, do away with excessive jewelries and beads – no Ilu Oke dressing.

The 5 Don’ts

Don’t trust easily

Just like the popular saying, you do not judge a book by its cover – just because he or she wears a suit or looks goods doesn’t mean they can be trusted, be wise.

Don’t move at night

Except you are really familiar with the area or you have a very good memory when it comes to roads, then you should stick with the day, at times even places you think you know so well looks different at night. Also avoid dark and lonely areas.

Don’t be greedy

So someone walks up to you and starts telling you about this really cool deal you should invest in or try out – “make 100,00 naira with just 10,000 naira in 3 days”, truth is, there’s a 99.9 percent chance it’s scam - he or she is just trying to eat your money.

Don’t show yourself

Even if you are your village champion, no one in Lagos really cares; bragging and shouting may get you attention but land you in trouble, be wise.

Don’t take unlabeled buses

To be on a safer side, commercial buses painted yellow or BRT buses are better options, though they are couple of private cars and buses that pick up passengers at bus stops, patiently wait for a commercial one to take you to your destination.

Hope you find these tips useful when you make your next trip to Lagos. Visit http://www.jovago.com/en-gb/hotels/nigeria/lagos/6289147 for the best hotel deals.

Making that decision to go on a trip and see the world sometimes take unnecessary drag. Here are a few reasons why you should pack up and travel now.

It’s really gotten easier

It is much easier now than before. There is access to a lot of resources and you can easily plan your travel from anywhere. Just as soon as the idea of the place to visit hits you maybe in the bath, with your smartphone you can find out as much as possible about the place, how much transport and accommodation will cost. With a service like Jovago.com, you can secure your accommodation ahead and pay when you there. From booking flight to getting taxi down to your destination, there are numerous online services you can use to get the best deals. You can get it all fixed within 20 minutes on the phone while you are lounging in your room, enjoying your favourite TV Show.

Finding self and learning about others

Travel is pleasurable and at the same time helps you connect with others. Being in a new environment can be challenging. Despite the challenges, most people end up thoroughly enjoying the experience. When trying to find self, travelling is usually advised. You have enough time to actually be alone, listen and consciously make a plan. There is a lot you can learn about yourself from how you adapt to the new environment. It is also an avenue to learn how to relate with others and peculiarities in different societies.

Travel is Education

This is one of the most important reasons to pack up and travel now. You are most likely so used to your environment or world that you have become so comfortable. One way to challenge yourself and expand your horizon is by travelling. Getting soaked in a tropical rain forest town like Ondo or making your way through the teeming crowd in Kano market on a sunny day doesn’t just present an adventurous tale but helps you gain first-hand experience of life in these parts. With travelling, you can pick up new languages, cultures and a wider knowledge of the world around you. Imagine the feeling you get from visiting Badagry, a historic slave trade route.

Adventure and the tales

You can always travel in your head or by merely looking at pictures online but nothing beats experiencing physically. You want to be there and take pictures. Gather memories that will last forever and probably be passed on to your grandchildren. From the Argungu Fishing Festival to hiking at Obudu Mountain Resort, there are a lot of adventurous events and places to visit in Nigeria. Travel gives you fulfilling, lasting experiences that you can always relive even by sharing the tales with others. If not for anything you should do it for the Vine, Instagram, Facebook and tweets.

Really, why the wait?

Finally you should travel now because right now is the best time you have. Time blows pass really quick and unnoticed. I will do it next month, then the next. Before you know it, two years, four years, you have still not ventured to see the destinations. It is important to travel now because you actually only have now. Something else is likely to come up if you don’t make the decision to do it right away. It is better to travel to those places on your bucket list now and do something else later.
