Phones / Why OPPO A96 Is Ahead Of Competition And A Perfect Choice For All by Merlissa(f): 4:13pm On Apr 26, 2022
It has been a fantastic month for mobile phone manufacturers OPPO Nigeria. Since launching its trendy, classy and affordable A96. The company was inundated with numerous pre-orders for the device and now that the device is available in major shops across the country, customers have not stopped trooping to shops to get the device. The phone has also been one of the trendy topics discussed on social media along with the brand ambassador, Rema and the trendy A Series “Perfect” TV Commercial that is loved and praised by many who have watched it on both TV and social media

For Emmanuel Akintayo, a young and burgeoning advertising specialist, his love for OPPO A96 is its powerful camera. He says he doesn’t joke with phones with great camera features. In fact, he was attracted to OPPO products because of its unique camera feature on their phones. With the nature of his job, he needs a phone with a great camera to take demo pictures and making short skits for his presentations. Akintayo sees OPPO A96 as a reliable partner.
Another amazing feature of the new OPPO A96 is the fact that you cannot overcharge it at night, especially when you fall asleep. OPPO A96 has optimized night charging, which allows the phone’s artificial intelligence to learn the user’s sleeping patterns and schedule a segmented battery charging plan during the night time. Ngozi Okoro, a civil servant believes this feature will save the battery life of the phone. She also says she had lost quite a number of phones as a result of overcharging them especially at night when she is tired after working at the office all day.

Travel / Re: Relocating To Senegal With Family by Merlissa(f): 10:35pm On Apr 23, 2022
Mhizsleeq4eva:
Hi Nlanders! Pls i need your opinions. A family friend is planning to relocate with his family(wife & 2 kids) to Senegal or any other good African country. He said he has about a million. His wife is a teacher,while he's an artist (fine artist). He'll also appreciate if countries where art is appreciated can be suggested.

The official language in Senegal is French but MOST If not all don't even speak FRENCH. They speak wollof, fulah, mandinkan and jola. So communication is a very big challenge.

With his fine art, he is going to be competing with the locals as that is one of their major source of livelyhood (trust me once they know he is coming from Nigeria.. It would be very difficult to cope as they have serious beef with Nigerians especially the men)

Senegal weather can be extreme (but not like Mail) they have predious of hail storm where the sands from the desert blows into the city and they can bee very bad.. I remember I when the sand would cut my skin badly so I was on long sleeves more than half the time.

French system is totally different from ours.. Most of their shops do shut down for the summer holiday (I think it depends on the area) and whey close for mid day break about 2hrs each day.

He should get ready for cultural shock.

Gambia too is good but life there can be slow (we Nigerians are always in a hurry) so don't expect them to move like we do.

The last time I went by road with friends tho, it took us 5days but I heard its about 7days by public transport not sure that would be conducive for the kids.

Gambians love Nigerias especially their landlord because they charge *3 of the normal rent since Nigerians love showing off.

Thanks to abacha's son that year, came to Sheraton in Gambia, booked their presidential suit for 6months and stayed for 3 days.. (how true not sure but most Nigerians they love spending)

I can't vouch for their educational system but the little I see, our educational system here is WAY better.

Like everyone said here.. Let him do his research its best if he try and avoid some Nigerians there.. Their job is to fish out freshers and swindle them lipsrsealed

How have you been enjoying it?
Phones / OPPO A96 Phone Is Now Available by Merlissa(f): 9:38pm On Apr 10, 2022
Smartphones have evolved from being just a communication tool into a device used for content creation, phone photography/videography, multimedia messaging and of course playing games. With smartphones becoming more important to our daily lives and its increasing functionalities, you would agree that there is a need for faster-charging speeds, higher battery capacity, and enhancement of general qualities of the smartphone.

The OPPO A96 contains some fascinating features which address the challenges faced by many smartphone users. The phone, launched on the 23rd of March, 2022 has become one of many favourites. Let's take a look at the perks and key selling points of this amazing mobile device.

The OPPO A96 Phone: Perks and Key Selling Points.
Unarguably, the mobile model; OPPO outdid themselves with the release of the OPPO A96. Yes, there have been other A series models like A92, A93 and the likes with super operating systems. When A93 was released the OPPO mobile device got a lot of appraisals. Nobody knew the A96 would shake the entire world.

This mobile device is suitable for all including Millennials, GEN Z, Baby Bloomers in fact some slay GEN X and Y. Here are some perks and KSP of OPPO A96 mobile devices.

OPPO A96 Processor
Your smartphone processor, also known as a chipset, is a component that controls and guarantees that everything in your phone works properly. It's similar to the brain in the human body.

Every action you take on your smartphone is transmitted directly to the processor. These actions are subsequently translated into visual changes on your screen in a fraction of a second. Isn't it amazing?

The PPO A96 is powered by the Qualcomm SM6375 Snapdragon 695 5G (6nm) processor. With these specs, the mobile device provides high bandwidth and low latency connectivity for seamless productivity.

Charging Speed
Tell me about a mobile gadget that charges to 100% within only an hour! The OPPO A96 is one.
Facts have it that the mobile device has an ultra-fast 33W charging speed. This implies that if your mobile device's battery dies, you can virtually immediately resume all of your favourite activities.

OPPO A96 fast charging features permit only 10 minutes to get up to 23% battery life, 30 minutes for up to 55% and an hour for 100%. Just plug it in for 5 minutes and you can send WhatsApp messages for 3 hours, stream YouTube for an hour and enjoy 1 hour of WhatsApp calls.

Battery
One of the advantages you should not take lightly is your android mobile phone battery. Long battery life is inversely proportional to more phone usage time.
With the OPPO A96, a 5000mAh battery will last you the entire day, regardless of how you use it. A fully charged battery lasts about 33 hours, 17 hours for YouTube, 40 hours for music playing, and 15 hours for regular conversation.
ROM and RAM

The OPPO flagship mobile device comes with 8GB of RAM and RAM expansion software that can increase RAM by up to 5GB; up to 100,000 images, 600 videos, and 3000 applications.
Screen

The android phone screen is as comfortable as ever. Its comfortable, smooth (90Hz), vibrant (96% NTSC) screen frees your eyes from the stress and fatigue caused by long screen times.

To cap it up, the flagship phone can be said to have a gorilla screen and somes with a perfect night mode regulator.
90Hz Refresh Rate and Adaptive Refresh Rate Technology

The OPPO A96 boasts a 5-speed adaptive refresh rate that adapts to different usage circumstances automatically. When watching videos on YouTube and other apps, it minimises screen power usage and improves visual impacts. It's better, more energy-efficient, and ensures longer battery life.

96% NTSC Wide Colour Gamut and sRGB
Its NTSC colour gamut of 96 percent successfully displays true brilliant colours. The OPPO A96 also has a sRGB display with less brilliant colours, which is ideal for people who can't stand looking at bright visuals for lengthy periods of time.

All-day AI Eye Comfort
During the day, when you're outside in the bright sun, the screen brightness rises to 600 nits, up from the standard 480 nits. It allows you to see the screen without having to cover it with your hands.

The moonlight display can autonomously reduce screen brightness at night, resulting in a softer and smoother output in low-light conditions.
If your eyes are fatigued and sensitive to light at the end of the day, you can use Eye Comfort Mode to limit blue light from your screen and prevent eye strain.

Dual Speakers
The majority of android phone speakers are of low quality. However, there are a select few phones that have made audio quality a high priority, with high sound quality and some with front-facing speakers.

The OPPO A96 comes with dual speakers at the top and bottom, making the sound better, louder, and crystal clear.
IPX4 Water Resistance.

Have you ever wondered how a smartphone that has been submerged in water to the point of devastation can still function? That is an excellent question.

Waterproof, dustproof, and water resistant are just a few adjectives used by marketers to give their products a more robust appearance.
The audio industry, particularly with headphones, is one area where it's becoming more frequent. But, in the end, what does it all mean? How much water can an OPPO A96 handle?
Don't worry if your cell phone accidentally gets exposed to water or rain. All you have to do is wipe off the water drops and continue using it.

IP5X Dust Resistance
International Protection Marking, or Ingress Protection, is the abbreviation for International Protection Marking. It is an international standard that specifies the levels of electrical enclosure sealing efficiency against substances such as dirt, water, and tools. To put it another way, it specifies what a product's case will keep out.

IP5X indicates that a product is dust-resistant. Although dust entrance is not completely avoided, sufficient dust shielding ensures that the product can work in sand. For most consumer-grade applications, a rating of 5 is sufficient.

The OPPO A96 IP5X Dust Resistance properties effectively prevents the ingress of dust which guarantees long-term use.

Design.
Phone designs are considered as one of any android device's pecks, and the OPPO flagship product, OPPO A96; which was launched on March 23rd, 2022, is regarded as the perfect choice for the A class.
The mobile android device also comes with a fingerprint active function.

Colours.
OPPO A96 comes in three colours; Pearl Pink, Starry Black, and Sunset Blue. However, in Nigeria, there are currently two main colours available: blue and black. These mobile phones are available in all OPPO authorised stores in Nigeria.

Camera.
One of OPPO's mobile android phone USP is the unique and detailed shots taken by these devices. Infact, the mobile organisation has gone ahead to create a theme #shotonOPPO as one of its bragging rights.
Nothing less is expected from the OPPO A96 device. The newly launched device comes with a 16MP front camera for the best selfies, a 50MP rear camera, and a 2MP bokeh camera. It gives a perfect shot of 1080 X 2400 pixels.

Anti-peeping Notifications.
The AI identification algorithm in the OPPO A96 front camera recognizes individuals within a 20-80 cm radius of the phone. This feature identifies if the phone's owner is the only one staring at the screen. It displays a notification in this scenario. Otherwise, the content is hidden to preserve the user's privacy.

Air Gestures
Within a 20-40 cm radius of the phone, the OPPO A96 front camera employs an AI recognition system to distinguish motions and 30-degree flips. In certain apps, slide gestures identify specific gestures and allow users to drag the screen up or down. A swipe-up motion is used to answer calls, and a static hand gesture is used to mute incoming calls.

Conclusion
The OPPO A96 phone is arguably the smartphone of today, a powerful and excellent performance phone. With its availability now in Nigeria in all OPPO authorized retail stores coming with 2years warranty, the OPPO A96 4gb mobile android device is priced at about #159,900 as at the day this article was penned down.

Health / Why Tobacco Harm Reduction Will Reduce The Prevalence Of Smoking by Merlissa(f): 7:26pm On Apr 03, 2022
Why Tobacco Harm Reduction Will Reduce the Prevalence of Smoking
By Lanre Odusile



In many countries, cigarette packs now come with both graphic and text health warnings to smokers on the health risks associated with their consumption. However, have these warnings deterred smoking?

For people who smoke, quitting remains the best option to avoid the health risks associated with tobacco consumption and non-smokers are advised to never pick up the habit.

The health risks that smokers face come from the many toxic substances contained in cigarette smoke when the cigarettes are burned and not the nicotine that they crave from the cigarette. This is why the scientist Michael Russell famously quoted that “people smoke for nicotine but die from the tar.”

An understanding of the need to reduce the health impact of inhaling the noxious fumes contained in burning tobacco and the pragmatic acceptance of providing reduced risk alternatives for those who cannot quit are some of the raisons d’être for the concept of tobacco harm reduction (THR).

Science has also continued to lend credence to THR as an effective means of reducing the health impact of tobacco consumption and several countries now have science-backed policies for the regulation of reduced risks or alternative tobacco products.

In October 2021, 100 specialists in nicotine science, policy and practice came together to call on the 182 parties (countries) to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) of the World Health Organisation (WHO) to take a more positive stance on tobacco harm reduction.

The letter which was a push back against WHO’s drive for the prohibition or excessive regulation and taxation of vaping products, heated and smokeless tobacco products, was signed by the 100 experts as reported by The Counterfactual by Clive Bates.

While developing and less developed economies seem more aligned with this WHO stand, developed economies have taken the science-led approach. For example, the United States of America’s (USA) food and drug administration (FDA) has licensed some alternative products as “modified risk tobacco products” in acceptance of the science and empirical evidence of their efficacy. This science-based approach to THR, is a public health strategy to reduce the health impact of consuming combustible tobacco products.

In the United Kingdom, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), which issues evidence-based guidance on the most effective methods of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases and ill health, has since published a guidance on tobacco harm reduction.

The guidance supports the use of licensed nicotine-containing products (NCPs) to help smokers not currently able to quit to switch to a less harmful option but instructively recognizes that quitting smoking is always the best option for smokers. As a public health strategy, in December 2021, the Daily Mail published reports from the Office of National Statistics that showed smoking rates in Britain dropped by 1.3%, from 15.8% in 2019 to 14.5% in 2020.

The introduction of alternative products and acceptance of THR have also driven down smoking rates in Japan by up to 34% as reported by Frost & Sullivan in a December 2020 report.

The Canadian Public Health Association also in recognition of the efficacy of THR in 2018 issued statements that acknowledge that alternative nicotine delivery products are less risky than combustible tobacco. Health Canada has issued science-backed statements such as “Completely replacing cigarette smoking with vaping will reduce your exposure to harmful chemicals” among several others to drive the adoption of alternative products by smokers.

In New Zealand, the ministry of health launched a website called Vaping Facts to educate citizens on the facts about vaping with the objective to help smokers quit. The website encourages smokers to vape as a means to quit and has widely published content that indicates that vaping is less risky than smoking.

In Nigeria however and across the west and central Africa region, the knowledge and acceptance of tobacco harm reduction as a public health strategy is remarkably low.

If Nigeria opts for a rigorous science-based approach to the adoption of THR and proceeds to foster an environment where proper knowledge of the health benefits of switching to reduced-risk alternatives is consciously and strategically made available to current smokers, the country will invariably experience a drop in smoking rates.

The logic holds true that so long as the alternative products from THR separate tobacco consumers from the source of risk, then they not only reduce the risk of harm but also reduce the smoking rates.

Phones / Tecno Partners With Nigerian Idol Season 7 As The Official Smartphone Partner by Merlissa(f): 12:04pm On Mar 12, 2022
The Nigerian Idol really has us going gaga with this year's season 7 edition and we are here for it. The short videos emanating from the auditions show the innate talents of Nigerian youths, and we must say, they have been a mix of creative, shocking, surprising, and most especially, hilarious.

The judges, Dbanj, Simi, and Obi Asika, are having the time of their lives just being entertained by these very talented Nigerians, whether you agree that they are great or not.

An exciting announcement was made recently in connection to the show and this news might not be surprising to some of the show’s die-hard fans. TECNO, the renowned smartphone brand, has made a comeback as the Official Smartphone partner in the show. The brand is no stranger to the show, having been co-headline sponsors in 2021. TECNO, a firm believer in talent investment, decided to collaborate again this year. It’s obvious that they see genius in the youths and are always ready to support them in any way that they can.

This wouldn’t be TECNO’s first stint giving Nigerian youths a platform to showcase their talents and chase their dreams of a better future. Over the years, the brand has rolled out some campaigns and sponsored events, aimed primarily at opening opportunities for Nigerians. From the annual Light Up Your Dream (LUYD) competition for young entrepreneurs, to Camission photography challenges, and more recently, the CAMON Short Film Challenge which gave budding filmmakers the chance to improve their skillset in the film industry.

This year’s edition of Nigerian Idol is touted to be very competitive as several contestants are bringing their ‘A’ game to the competition as they battle for a combination of 100 million naira worth of prizes, including an SUV, a recording deal with a top label, and a trip to Dubai.

TECNO is sure to up the stakes of the show with interesting activities and rewards for both the contestants and viewers and home, so be sure to follow TECNO on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Tiktok for the latest information. Also stick around your TV and never miss an episode of the show.

Without a doubt, TECNO sees Nigeria as a place of talent, and the brand makes it a point to provide and support these individuals with a platform and spotlight! This season’s edition of Nigerian Idol promises to be nothing short of entertaining.

Phones / Samsung Nigeria And Access Bank Enter Strategic Partnership by Merlissa(f): 4:31am On Mar 10, 2022
Samsung Nigeria and Access Bank enter strategic partnership to make Galaxy S22 Series accessible to customers


March 9, 2022
In a bid to make its new revolutionary mobile device Galaxy S22 Series more accessible to customers, Samsung Nigeria has entered a strategic partnership with Access Bank to provide device financing for salary earners whose accounts are domiciled with the bank. The device financing facility is available to the bank’s customers from March 11, 2022.

Through this partnership, Samsung will be supporting Access bank salaried customers with a 50% reduced interest rate bringing the rate as low as 13.5% flat per annum and approximately 1.1% monthly. The loan is expected to be paid back in full to the bank by customers in 12 months. The loan does not require down payment or equity contribution.

Speaking at the event to announce the partnership, Executive Director, Access Bank, Victor Etuokwu said “We are very happy to have gone into partnership with Samsung Nigeria in order to give more Nigerians the access they crave to own the new revolutionary Galaxy S22 Series. Owning any of the Galaxy S22 series is easy, what all salaried customers need to do is to log on to QuickBucks to request for a loan needed to purchase Samsung Galaxy S22 Series of their choice. It is that easy” he added.

QuickBucks is an app of Access Bank that is downloadable on Google Play store for android phone users like Samsung. It is through this app salaried customers can request for loan and purchase the new Galaxy S22 seamlessly. Through the app, customers can choose any of the available Galaxy S22 devices, complete the application and pick up device at any SLOT store closest to them.

In her own words, Head of Retail, Samsung Nigeria, Joy Tim-Ayoola said “Samsung understands the economic difficulties currently being experienced in the country and we understand also, that our customers like the good things of life hence we have provided them with this partnership with Access Bank and Slot Systems to give them this amazing opportunity to own any of the model of Galaxy S22 series”.

Also speaking at the formal announcement of the partnership, Managing Director, Slot Systems, Nnamdi Ezeigbo said “Customer service is at the heart of what we do at Slot Systems and a partnership such as this is always a welcome development. We at Slot Systems are fully behind this partnership and will work with both organizations to achieve success” He said.

Samsung announced the release of the Galaxy S22Ultra, S22+ and Galaxy S22 at the Unpacked Event last month. These ground-breaking addition to the S Series features the first Spen in the S series, premium camera features like Nightography, long-lasting battery, innovative and safe ways to share — everything the Galaxy devices are is known for and more to make mobile experiences better and epic.
