You take a hammer to a wall and the first few blows will not yield much result but if you keep giving it your best blows, the wall will eventually come down. If you choose to focus on the wall not coming down after the first few blows, you will lose energy and you will not strike your best blows or you may even give up totally when maybe all you need are just a few more blows to bring the wall down. Every faithful sower always gets a harvest. That is the way the world is. That is the way it has been designed to work and that is the principle that has governed humanity from the beginning of time. The worst thing you can do is give less than your best because you feel you are not properly compensated. Give your best no matter your pay and one day you will meet with people that can pay you what you deserve. That is what it means when they say proper preparation meeting opportunity will lead to success. Don't focus on your situation now but always tell yourself that you are preparing yourself for the bigger pay ahead. If you give less than your best, how will you gain the competence and experience for the bigger pay you seek? To get more in any area of life, you have to first give more. Take your present position as a learning stage and learn all you can about your job even if you are still scouting for other opportunities. Do your best on the job such that if you submit your resignation tomorrow, your boss will beg you to stay because he has realized how indispensable you are. Until you become that indispensable, it will be tough to negotiate higher pay. Commit to personally grow to the size of your dream and your dream will eventually catch up with you. I wish you all the best. |

What You Should Know Before Buying A USB Charger in Nigeria USB battery charging technology has greatly evolved over the years to enable the fastest possible charging solutions to portable devices like mobile phones, tablet computers, laptops, game consoles, bluetooth speakers, bluetooth headsets, portable projectors, cameras and virtually any other portable device that relies on a backup battery. Back in the days when mobile phones first became mainstream in Nigeria, we typically had most phones with chargers rated at 0.5A and 5V output meaning the maximum power they were capable of producing to charge your device was 2.5W Amperage x Voltage = Wattage Today what we usually have with most USB chargers in the Nigerian market is a rating of 1A and 5V output meaning you get a maximum of 5W. If you are lucky, your phone, tablet or other mobile device will ship with a charger rated 2A and 5V output meaning you get a maximum of 10W to charge the device. Fast Charging Simplified Most fast charging technologies termed as Quick Charge 2.0/3.0, quick charging, fast charging, adaptive fast charging, turbo charging and other similar terms usually fall around the same rating and are able to negotiate around 15-18W output depending on the maximum wattage your device is able to handle. Some really high end phones currently support up to 30W and higher for charging but usually 30W and above mostly apply to tablets and modern laptops that charge with USB C or Type C charging ports like recent models of Macbooks, Dell XPS 13, Huawei Matebook X, HP EliteBook X360, Lenovo Thinkpad X1, Google Pixelbook, Xiaomi Air, LG Gram, ASUS Chromebook Flip and so many others. The advent of USB C or Type C has given way for the introduction of Power Delivery (Usually termed as PD) charging protocol which is able to output a maximum of 100W to supporting devices. The Reasons For Slow Charging If you are having a frustrating experience charging your device and you want to take advantage of faster charging speeds, we have the solutions you need. Slow charging is usually as a result of a low rated charger or a compromised charging cable. We will talk about chargers first and later go into cables. You can start off by auditing the present USB charger(s) in your possession. All properly engineered USB chargers (wall chargers, car chargers, desktop chargers or multiport chargers) always have their specifications and ratings laser printed or inscribed on them in fine print. If your charger does not have it printed on, please throw the charger away and save yourself from possible harm or loss. Chargers that don’t have specifications laser printed or inscribed on them are inferior (or what we popularly call fake in Nigeria) and can pose a serious fire hazard or damage your devices. Same goes for chargers with specifications printed with ink that easily wipes off. On your charger, you should look closely at the fineprint and check for the Output rating usually specified in Voltage and Amperage e.g. 5V 2A or 5V 1.5A and so on. Multiply the Voltage and Amperage to get the maximum capable output your charger can give you in Wattage. For most phones, 7.5W is pretty decent enough but if you want faster charging speeds you should go for 10W and higher depending on what your device can handle. Slow Charging Solutions All Anker wall chargers, car chargers and power banks are capable of delivering 12W per USB port so essentially they are faster than most chargers currently in the Nigerian market. High end phones designed to handle fast charging speeds can take 18W upwards for blazing charging speeds. Anker also has chargers that can deliver as much as 50W and powerbanks that can deliver as much as 45W to supported devices. Unlike most chargers, which are only optimized for one device, Anker chargers are designed to deliver the fastest possible charging speed to any device according to available charging protocols. Anker chargers and powerbanks are very safe to use with MultiProtect 11 protection features built into them and come with 18 months warranty. This is also a good time to point out that most devices are designed with a specific maximum Wattage they can receive from any charger. So in simple terms, if your phone is designed to handle a maximum of 10W to charge, a 30W charger will only deliver 10W to the phone and nothing more; but on the other hand, if you use a 5W charger, you will be experiencing only half the charging speed of what the phone is capable of. By the way, it is perfectly safe to use a well designed charger with a rating higher than your phone’s rating and that is why iPhones can charge with Macbook chargers without issues. Your Cable May Be The Problem Now let’s address the issue of compromised charging cables. A charging cable can be compromised by design (poor and inferior design) or by wear and tear (after extended usage). A compromised charging cable impedes the flow of current through the cable and limits the amount of power that can be delivered to charge your phone efficiently (much like the effect of low current on your home appliances). Anker understands such limitations and developed the VoltageBoost™ technology to take care of such. VoltageBoost™ is an Anker-exclusive technology that compensates for cable resistance by smoothing voltage output. A compromised cable also limits your data transfer speed or makes it impossible to transfer any data over the cable. This is usually the reason your mobile device is not recognised by some computers when connected via the USB port of the computer. In the event of a faulty cable that is not allowing a charge or data transfer at all, the cable will need to be replaced. You should consider replacing your cable with our high quality Anker Powerline cables that are engineered to outlast every other cable and provide the fastest charging and data transfer speeds possible. Conclusion We hope we have been able to help you shed some light on why your phone, tablet or USB powered computer may be charging slowly and the things to consider when buying a USB charger especially in Nigeria. If you need any help or clarification, you can reach out to us by email or contact us on 09096553079. This is a simplified guide to help you make an informed decision and guide you in buying the charger that is most suitable for your device. You can do an extensive research online if you need more details on any of the above mentioned charging protocols.

Today we will like to talk about Anker powerbanks. Anker powerbanks are marketed as the Powercore series. We sometimes get comments that our powerbanks are pricey, but such comments only come from people that are yet to have any form of experience with the Anker brand. Anker is big on quality in terms of products and services and their products are well thought out and developed before manufacturing. Anker uses only the best batteries, components and materials to produce its powerbanks which is why Anker powerbanks always outlast other brands in the market. Anker uses superior quality Panasonic and LG batteries. The circuit boards are intelligently built to incorporate PowerIQ, VoltageBoost and Multiprotect technologies. Anker powerbanks charge fast without heating up or damaging your device. We sometimes get the feedback that they take longer to charge than other powerbanks and that is because they are actually true to capacity, unlike most powerbanks that would claim 10,000mAh but will actually be 6,000mAh in real-world use. For instance, a powerbank from Anker with 10,000mAh will charge an average phone 3-4 times whereas most other powerbanks that claim to be 10,000mAh will only give you about 2-3 charges. Anker powerbanks come in various sizes, capacities and form factors to fit almost every scenario of charging a mobile device. Best of all, Anker powerbanks are covered with 18 months warranty. Who else gives and actually fulfills such warranties? With Anker powerbanks, you are guaranteed to always charge your devices intelligently, fast and safe. |

Anker chargers are the safest and most efficient universal chargers you can find anywhere. Anker chargers are classified into: Powerport - Wall chargers, Desktop chargers Powerdrive - Car chargers Powerwave - Wireless chargers The powerport and powerdrive chargers come in different designs and with different number of ports but they are all equipped with Anker's proprietary technology that makes Anker a leader in the mobile chargers industry. Anker's most popular proprietary technologies for safe and efficient charging are: - PowerIQ Technology - VoltageBoost - Multiprotect Let's talk about PowerIQ When a device manufacturer like Apple, Samsung, LG, HTC, Motorola etc makes a mobile device like a phone or tablet, they usually produce its specialised charger to charge it according to design. These chargers can be used to charge other devices but usually what you find is that they do not charge them optimally because they were not designed to charge other devices. Anker, on the other hand, makes their chargers to be able to charge any mobile device optimally through PowerIQ technology. The technology rides on the back of a microchip that is built into every charger to: 1. Identify the device plugged in for charging 2. Automatically adjust to the device's charging protocol 3. Supply the fastest possible charging speed according to device design 4. Monitor temperatures during charging to prevent overheating 5. Adjust charging speeds according to temperature changes during charging All these ensure that the device charges as fast as possible without getting hot or posing a fire hazard to users. VoltageBoost is a unique technology in Anker chargers that monitors resistance in old or long cables that may prevent a device from charging fast and alters the supplied voltage to ensure charging speed is unaffected by failing cables provided the cables are not yet totally damaged. Multiprotect refers to Anker’s exclusive 11-point suite of advanced safety and protection systems built into every charger. There are many risks associated with other generic rapid chargers—overheating, fires, even explosions. MultiProtect ensures complete safety for all your devices and most importantly, your. These include Input high voltage protection Outpost high voltage protection Input current regulation Output current regulation Automatic current matching Input short circuit protection Output short circuit protection Static resistance Device overcharge protection Battery over-discharge protection Output temperature control Also all Anker powerbanks are equipped with PowerIQ, VoltageBoost and Multiprotect Wouldn't you rather charge safely?

As a result of numerous conversations and interactions we have had with people so far concerning Anker products, we would love to have an open discussion with anyone interested or curious about Anker products. We hope we can get some questions on this forum so that other people get to benefit from the discussion. So Anker products are not the cheapest in the market if you look at the initial cost of purchase but they are the most economical when you consider the quality and 18 months warranty. While you may think that other brands offer cheaper options, you are not likely to get the same level of quality and most definitely not the kind of warranty provided for Anker products. You are likely to have a frustrating experience with a generic mobile accessory or replaced it a few times while the person using an Anker accessory is still enjoying his. For instance, let's consider the most basic Anker accessory with is the cable. Anker cables are not like your average cables. They are tough and reliable. They charge your devices fast and they guarantee fast data transfer speeds. If you have had to buy other cables in the market, you will find that some do not do data transfer, some do not charge fast, some fail quickly and some fall apart easily at the ends. Anker cables are not like that. Anker cables are reinforced with Aramid fibre which is the same material used to make bulletproof vests, so you can imagine how tough they are. Anker cables are thicker to ensure fast charging and fast data transfer speeds. Anker cables are reinforced with dual layer of PVC material to ensure the ends do not break and fall apart. Anker cables are lab tested to find out how many bends they can endure before the cable starts failing. It is the result of such lab tests that results in the categorisation of "bend lifespan"; meaning the number of time you will have to bend the cable before it starts failing. The higher the bend lifespan, the tougher the cable. Fun Fact Anker lighting cables are tougher and more durable that lighting cables manufactured by Apple but Anker lighting cables cost less than Apple's lighting cables. You can research it on Google if you doubt it. We will be sharing more information on other products in a few days but in the meantime, kindly ask us questions and leave your comments. |

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your article; good work. I also think it's cool that you went through the whole adventure but you should bear in mind that all 3 items you ordered are available in Nigeria at affordable prices and could have been delivered to you within 24 hours. The truth is that I stumbled across your article while trying to monitor feedback on Anker products because we are the official distributor for Nigeria and West Africa. The other advantage of buying from us or any of our dealers is that you get the 18 months warranty coverage right here in Nigeria. You can just do a google search next time you need Anker products and you will find our contact details easily. Once again, great work with the exposé. |

daveemuobo: Are you really sure of your claim? It is interesting that you seem to know so much about us without actually knowing anything about us. You are free to visit our office if you want evidence of our partnership with Anker or better still you can attempt a bulk order from Anker and see who they will refer you to in Nigeria or even West Africa as a region. The main reason we advertise ourselves as authorised distributors (apart from the fact that we are really Authorised Distributors with signed contracts and all) is to assure buyers of Anker products in Nigeria that they are getting the authentic products and they are entitled to the official 18 months warranty as long as they purchase from the right channel partners. The replacement warranty costs us almost nothing since we transfer warranty issues directly to Anker; so we are talking about the official Anker 18 month warranty here. As far as Anker is concerned, O & O Gadgets Limited is their official representative in West Africa and there is a contract in place backing that fact. We offer lower prices because of direct supply and take care of your warranties on behalf of Anker Innovations. In case you are not aware, buying through unauthorised channels and gray markets makes warranty uncertain as you are not sure if the seller will back the warranty or not. On the other hand, buying through the authorised channel ensures you qualify for the official warranty you are supposed to be entitled to. Any seler of Anker products that cannot offer you the official 18 months warranty did not obtain the product through the right channel. We are not looking at monopolising the market; we just want to help ensure that everyone that purchases Anker products in Nigeria buys authentic products and enjoys the proper warranty protection. Dealers, retailers, wholesalers and resellers are free to contact us to purchase at lower prices than they usually buy from gray markets with the assurance that all the products they purchase from us are covered with official 18 months warranty. It's really a win-win situation for everyone. Like I said earlier, you can visit our office if you want evidence that we are the Authorised Anker Distributor in Nigeria or you can chat us up on 08034547919. We have nothing to hide. ![]() |

hisgrace090: Very wrong assumption. Check amazon and other foreign sites and see how many powerbanks are sold with user reviews being a small fraction of those that bother to leave reviews afterwards. Ask people abroad if powerbanks are not sold in brick and mortar stores also. Check youtube to see the huge number of foreigners using and reviewing powerbanks in their country. Powerbanks are not just for places with poor electricity supply, they are also to help you to be truly mobile. You can get to charge your phones and other devices on the move without being tethered to a wall socket. That is the reason why they are popular all over the world. The only way powerbanks will lose their importance is if most phones are given big enough batteries to help you stay away from a charger for longer. 1 Like |

pharmtasy: Thanks for the feedback sir. We keep on working on ways to make the products more affordable but we cannot afford to compromise on quality. Good quality does not come by easily and if you can take out time to read the below, you will understand why it seems our goods are pricey but really are not in the long run. Anker was one of the foremost companies to develop powerbanks and they never compromise on quality when it comes to the batteries and electronic components used in their devices. A lot of generic powerbanks are really not true to their capacity and use cheap components that expose you and your device to risk factors. Anker hires only the best engineers and industry experts and they use top quality components in their manufacturing process to ensure they deliver on quality every single time. The beautiful thing about the internet is that a quick Google search will give you unbiased feedbacks from Anker users all over the world. We are not talking about Nigeria only, Anker is widely recognised in US and UK where strict quality standards are adhered to especially for electrical devices. In 2017, The Verge published an article online titled: HOW ANKER IS BEATING APPLE AND SAMSUNG AT THEIR OWN ACCESSORY GAME and you should try to read the article to understand what makes Anker stand out from other mobile accessory brands. When it comes to innovations for fast charging and safety, Anker is the leading standard that other manufacturers try to emulate. All Anker Chargers and Powerbanks are equipped with Multiprotect which is Anker’s exclusive 11-point suite of advanced safety and protection systems. There are many risks associated with other generic rapid chargers—overheating, fires, even explosions. MultiProtect ensures complete safety for all your devices and most importantly, you. Multiprotect features: Input High-Voltage Protection Output High-Voltage Protection Input Current Regulation Output Current Regulation Automatic Current Matching Input Short-Circuit Protection Output Short-Circuit Protection Static Resistance Device Overcharge Protection Battery Overdischarge Protection Output Temperature Control The best part of it all is that Anker is so sure of the quality of their products that they offer you 18 months warranty. More importantly, ask around if there is any other brand in Nigeria willing to offer you 18 months warranty on mobile accessories and if they actually do fulfil their promise. Anker has maintained a solid reputation of good quality and excellence for over 6 years that they have been operating in markets like USA and UK and they have now established their presence in Nigeria so you can have access to good products backed with 18 months warranty. It only makes sense that Anker became the global leader in charging technology because they make the best products in that line. In conclusion, 17th September 2018 has been fixed for the 24 hour sale. Please set a reminder for that date as it promises to be interesting and we may never embark on such a sale again. Thank you for your time. 3 Likes |
