    Nigerians took to social media to congratulate the Super Falcons star, who was part of Nigeria’s team that triumphed at last year’s Africa Women’s Cup of Nations in Ghana.

    Oshoala is one of the most successful African footballers with 3 African Cup of Nations trophies, the English Women’s FA Cup and the Chinese women’s Super League title to her name. She has previously played for Liverpool and Arsenal Ladies.

    Chelsea fans get trolled after losing 4-0 to lowly-rated Bournemouth

    It is no longer new that during the week,
    Chelsea FC were flogged 4-0 by Bournemouth. The loss was their most disgraceful and biggest defeat since 2004. But there was no mercy for their fans on various social media as the trolls came after them.

    Anyway, we wish them better luck in their next matches.

    Buhari locks down Kano

    Presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress Candidate visited Kano and caused a total lock down of the state. Although not a very popular president, the massive crowd that greeted him was like a tsunami.

    This has kept lots of Nigerians wondering if it was only people from Kano or all over the world.

    The crowd is now uncontrollable in Kano.

    Kano stadium is filled up to d brim. It can only be made possible by PMB.

    If you doubt 5 Millon votes for Buhari in Kano you are on your own. pic.twitter.com/Ftp4pOB0bq

    — Honour (@azeez_ibrahim11) January 31, 2019

    Some supporters have already given him the victory in that state. But is the crowd during campaign really a factor for winning? Nigerians cant wait for February 16th to come. We hope and pray for hitch free elections.

    For many people, managing money and knowing the ri For many people, managing money and knowing the right opportunities to invest in is still a challenge. A survey of over 2,000 youths in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Cote D’Ivoire by Geopoll revealed that more young Nigerians only save after spending than their counterparts in other countries.

More youths in Tanzania and Uganda set aside a fixed amount to save than in Nigeria and Ivory Coast, who are more likely to save what remains after spending

The popularity of apps like @Piggybankng and @Cowrywise has made more people curious about saving, investing and creating a financial strategy to grow their money. However, there is need for more apps that take a more deliberate and friendly approach towards gaining financial intelligence and map out a sustainable path to monetary stability.

This is where Fundall comes in. @get_Fundall is a fintech service whose app is available for download on android and iOS.

    Things are gradually returning to normal as the nu Things are gradually returning to normal as the number of covid-19 cases continues to fall. Although it may take a while before we hug people or shake hands without second thoughts, things are getting better.

Only 523 new cases were recorded between April 6 and 13. This is a slight increase compared to the 497 people that tested positive over the previous week. Two weeks earlier, Technext reported that 584 people tested positive.

The numbers show a sustained decrease in the spread of infections across the country. Indeed the Lagos state government is now confident enough to allow event centres and relaxation centres to increase their crowd capacity. Along with that, here are other developments during the week.

    Today, @Google unveils a Doodle to posthumously ma Today, @Google unveils a Doodle to posthumously mark the 74th birthday of Nigerian music legend and highlife maestro Oliver de Coque, one of Africa’s most prolific recording artists of all time.

The Doodle, created by Lagos-based graphic artist and illustrator @OhabTBJ, pays tribute to the guitarist who died in June 2008 at the age of 61, following a heart attack. The creative inspiration was drawn from De Coque’s love for the guitar, his energetic performance style, his unique music brand, and his love of tradition and culture.
