LG G3 EXCITEMENTS AND EXPECTATIONS

Press renders and leaks have surfaced to give an idea of what we are to expect from LG’s event come May 27.

I am particularly excited for the G3 which is going to be undoubtedly LG’s flagship for 2014.

From what we are seeing, LG is continuing to build on its signature design concept which we saw debut with the G2 last year. The whole idea of removing operational buttons from the side and placing them on the back of a smartphone seemed ridiculously bold at that time. But with the debut and subsequent success of the G2, it has become brilliant concept which went on to the G2 MINI and the G FLEX for the year 2013 and resurfaced in 2014 with the successor to the widely acclaimed OPTIMUS G PRO, the G PRO2.

The aim for this entire concept from my perspective is dedicating the entire aesthetic of the phone’s form factor to the most important aspect of a modern day smartphone – the display. Less bezels means more display size and more display size means a better viewing experience (especially for the 2K display we hope to get on the G3). I expect the concept going to the G3 to get a lot better.

This smartphone is coming out to meet some stiff competition posed by existing flagships of 2014 most notably; HTC’s ONE M8, SAMSUNG’s GALAXY S5 and SONY’s XPERIA Z2.

Although the leaks show a brushed metal finish on a removable back, it remains unclear whether the phone will be plastic or metal overall. We can but wait to find on May 27. Other specs that we expect include;

A Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor

3GB of RAM

32GB on board storage

A 5.5 Quad HD Display

A 13MP camera with Optical Image Stabilization

I haven’t been this excited for a smartphone since the Galaxy Note3 and for this one, I simply can’t wait.

Enyeama calls for goal line technology after howler against Ethiopia

Goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama has said that goal-line technology would have resolved the embarrassing goal that he conceded against Ethiopia in Nigeria's 2-1 victory in Sunday’s first leg 2014 World Cup play-off game in Addis Ababa.

Walia Antelopes' midfielder Behailu Assefa scored in bizarre fashion as Enyeama caught his deep left-wing cross after the ball had the crossed the line. Enyeama said that Assefa’s goal should not have stood.

“From my position it wasn’t a goal and I’m still very surprised the referee called it a goal because he wasn’t even on my line. He was metres away. I’m surprised also that the second linesman called for a goal,” Enyeama told the media.
“I’ll go back to see it on video but it still boils down to the goal-line technology thing. I don’t know what to say but it wasn’t a goal from my own perspective.”

Early in the first half, Nigeria defender Godfrey Oboabona made a goal line clearance from Saladin Said’s shot which the home team had begun celebrating before referee Neant Alioum adjudged it had not crossed the line.

“[The first one] wasn’t a goal also. There’s a difference when the video is on the line of the goal. [Oboabona] pulled the ball out almost on the line,” Enyeama defended his team mate.

Fifa will introduce goal line technology at next year’s World Cup but it’s not yet known how soon African countries will adopt it. Nigeria will host the return leg in Calabar next month.

SAMSUNG'S GALAXY ROUND IS THE FIRST PHONE WITH A CURVED DISPLAY

Samsung has taken the wrapper off its rumored smartphone with a curved OLED display. The Galaxy Round, which will launch on SK Telecom in South Korea, has a 5.7-inch 1080p screen the same size as seen on the company's Galaxy Note 3, but there's a difference — it curves on the vertical axis in a similar fashion to some of Samsung's OLED TVs.

The potential benefit of this screen technology isn't quite clear yet, but Samsung is touting a new feature called "Round Interaction," which allows you to look at information such as missed calls, battery life, and the date and time when you tilt it on a flat surface with the screen off. Samsung also claims that switching between home screens will feel like one continuous transition, and has worked on new tilt- and tap-based interactions for the music and photos apps.

Tech is truly going more gaga than LADY GAGA herself

STRIKER SAMUEL ETO’O ACQUIRES FOUR BRAND NEW CARS WORTH OVER N1 BILLION

Samuel Eto’o has made good use of his bumper salary by amassing a fleet of cars worth £4million (approximately N1 billion). The pick of the Chelsea striker’s fleet is the £1.55m Bugatti Veyron which was specially delivered along with three other vehicles to the London club’s training ground after his move from Anzhi this summer. As well as the Veyron, Eto’o has spent big on a £1.25m Aston Martin One-77, according to The Sun. The Cameroon forward, 31, also snapped up a luxury Maybach Xenatec for a whopping £750,000 and an Aston Martin V12 Zagato for £450,000. View the pictures of the cars Below..

Karen had breasts implants because of lumps found in her breasts' her PR claims

Karen Igho's PR team released a press statement today claiming that the BBA winner got breasts implants many years ago because of lumps found in her breasts - this is in reaction to a tweet from Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson's twitter handle during the twitter hacking brouhaha that occurred yesterday. (Read it HERE). See their press release below

Sometime yesterday whilst preparing for her promo photo shoot, Karen and the World PR Media camp got wind of a tweet that was sent to our client, Karen Igho.

Yvonne Nelson quoted as follows "fake boobs, no wonder you don't have a bf". When Karen got the alert, she made several personal gestures to clarify the position of the tweet and the tweetee, but none of the enquiries was answered and a claim of 'handle hacking' was implied by the Nelson camp.

Just to update the Nelson team since we can't reach you, Karen's resort to breast implants were as a result of lumps found and removed in her breasts. And can you also be a good role model to your own younger fans by resisting online bullying or any other type of bullying for that matter.

Asari Dokubo Establishes University In Republic Of Benin

The leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force, NDPVF, Muhajid Asari-Dokubo has joined the swelling rank of private university proprietors with his establishment of a university in the neighbouring Republic of Benin.

Mr. Asari-Dokubo, who already owns a soccer academy in the West African country and another one in Abuja, said the university, which will be known as King Amachree African University, KAAU, had already been accredited to commence degree programmes beginning September 2014.

He told PREMIUM TIMES in an interview in Abuja that the proposed university, named after his ancestor, was a product of his two existing institutions in Benin Republic, namely King Amachree Automobile/ICT Royal Academy and King Amachree Arts Academy. Both of them, he added, currently award Diploma to their students.

Mr. Asari-Dokubo said he chose to establish the institutions in Benin Republic because he does not only live there, but has adopted it as his country.

“What we have now, we are awarding only diploma now. “By next September, Insha Allah, the university will start,” Mr. Asari-Dokubo, who dropped out of University of Calabar, he said.

“For now we have King Amachree Automobile/ICT Royal Academy and King Amachree Arts Academy. Two of them were merged. We have merged the two of them into king Amachree African University.

“King Amachree is my great ancestor. He was king of the Kingdom of new Calabar.”

On his soccer academy, the 50 year old Mr. Asari-Dokubo, an indigene of Rivers State, who refused to be tagged a former militant, said it was established to train the youth in soccer free of charge.

“We plan to engage the youths. It is free. We have a soccer academy in Abuja and we have another one in Republic of Benin,” he said.

More Nigerians are forced to go to Benin Republic, Ghana, Togo and other neigbhouring countries to acquire education due to the incessant labour disputes and industrial actions within the Nigerian university system as well as the deplorable state of education in the country.

Currently, students of both the federal and state universities in Nigeria are at home due to the strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, over the refusal of the Federal Government to honour its 2009 agreement with the union.

Other unions within the education sector, including the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, have also embarked on solidarity strike while the Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT, and Non-Academic Staff Union, NASU, are reportedly on the verge of doing towing that path.

Students of the over 50 private universities in Nigeria, whose fees can only be afforded the rich, are however, in session.

Mr. Asari-Dokubo is, like former Niger Delta militants enjoying massive patronage from the current administration, believe to be very wealthy but his source of income is largely unknown.

There were speculation he made his fortune stealing crude oil in the Niger Delta. But he denied engaging in such practices, telling PREMIUM TIMES he had never been part of any act capable of endangering the Delta.

7 Things Women Want In Bed

Just about every sexist cliché will tell you that women are hard to please, both in and out of the bedroom. It’s not that women are hard to please; it’s that women know what they want. 

Unfortunately, not every woman feels entirely comfortable expressing her sexual desires. Some women fear judgement, others are more guarded, and still others are asking in less obvious ways that often go unnoticed. Take a look at the 7 things women want in bed;

1. Be passionate

Sure, there's a time and a place for romance and gentle lovemaking, but what your woman really craves is raw passion. Want her. Take her. Kiss her hard. Make no apologies for how desperately you need all of her. 

2. To be heard

Make no mistake, women know exactly what they like in bed. Be the kind of sexual partner who will eagerly respond to her guidance on how best to please her. Just know that your efforts will be rewarded and then some.

3. Show your pleasure

Allow your facial expressions, body language, and verbal cues to give her insight into what gets you hot. Remember, turning you on is a major turn-on!

4. Sexual intimacy

She wants to tell you her deepest, darkest naughty desires so the more open you are about your bedroom fantasies, the more open she'll be with hers.

5. Focus on her whole body

There are more than a few places on a woman's body that can bring her pleasure. While the old stand-by's are tried and true, try focusing on the whole of her body rather than the sum of its parts.

6. Verbal affirmation

According to a survey, 44 percent of women are turned on by a simple, "I love you" while "You're so hot!" does it for 26 percent of the ladies.

7. Dirty talk

Engage her naughty side and tell her exactly what you're thinking. Tell her what you want to do and then do it!
