What Google says about the Gubernatorial Elections in Lagos, Oyo and Rivers

2015-04-10T10:09:00.000+01:00

On the 7th of April, I asked if maybe such forecasts using big data were the way to go generally, seeing as they were bang on the money with regards to the presidential elections. Today, we have even more Google trend data to put to the test against the forthcoming gubernatorial elections.

The first, and most obvious conclusion we can draw even before sharing the new data is that Nigerians generally aren’t as interested in the governance of their respective states as they are with who the president is, an anomaly of sorts considering that governance at the state level is more likely to directly affect your day-to-day life than the president is. It might also be a pointer to the fact that everyone realises that the Nigerian system is built around the centre and as a result, pays all the attention there.

In any case, it’s looking like the turnout for the gubernatorial elections won’t be anywhere near the turnout we witnessed for the presidential elections. There was only enough search volume to get details for three states: Lagos, Oyo and Rivers.

Lagos:

From the above, Google Trends shows the amount of search traffic on the 2 main candidates in Lagos; Jimi Agbaje and Akinwunmi Ambode, using the two most popular keywords for each candidate. Although Ambode is slightly ahead in terms of search traffic, the interest for both parties is growing steadily pointing towards a tight race.

Oyo:

The Oyo state chart compares 3 candidates; Alao-Akala, Abiola Ajimobi (current governor) and Teslim Folarin.

The chart shows more people are interested in Ajimobi at the moment. Although searches for Folarin peaked in March, it has since dropped. Searches for Alao-Akala peaked in December 2014. Probably because that was when he was announced as the governorship flag-bearer of the Labour Party.

Rivers:

The chart above compares 3 governorship candidates of Rivers state; Tonye Princewill, Dakuku Peterside and Wike Nyesom. Interests for Wike seem to the highest at the moment. Dakuku Peterside is also generating some search interests. Princewill, the last candidate in this analysis isn’t generating enough search volume to show up on the charts.

I definitely will be keeping an eye on the results from those states to see if Google data calls them right.

Here are the New Must Have Gadgets, Smartphones are Last Year

2015-04-10T09:39:00.001+01:00

Are you still euphoric about your new smartphone or tablet in 2015? Then there is a huge chance that you missed the train. A couple of months ago, I wrote about how smartphones had gotten boring, and while the newest set of flagship devices (to be specific, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge) tickle my fancy a bit, we aren’t back to the times when we were up all night literally waiting for one leak or the other about a new device or a new feature. We are also seeing less and less differentiators across OEMs and platforms as the days pass.

If you are one of those “showy” people that like to make statements with the kind of tech you’re carrying, smartphones and tablets might be out the door for you. However, if you are looking for something else to make statements with, these are the new must haves that are guaranteed to earn you some stripes in that department and more importantly, they are actually useful:

Smartwatch

Whether you like to admit it or not, smartwatches are definitely not going anywhere soon. I have always been excited at the prospects of smartwatches, maybe not for the same reasons as everyone else, but from the get go, they tickled my fancy.

I wouldn’t say the current range of smartwatches available tick all the boxes, still, having had one strapped to my wrist for a few months, I can say without a doubt that they are more useful than gimmick. On the few occasions when I take a break from wearing one, I keep expecting my regular watch to buzz with one notification or the other, or tell me how much of my fitness goals I’ve achieved or maybe even show me directions while driving, without necessarily having to take my eyes of the road.

I still have some misgivings about smartwatches as they are today, (I should write a review soon), but I’ll be the first to admit that they are a lot better than I expected…a lot cooler too!

Wireless audio dock

This one had been right under my nose for a while, I have been rocking a Bose Soundlink Bluetooth Speaker III, but it wasn’t till I was trying out Ad’s JB soundbar speaker that it occurred to me how mainstream they had become. Let’s face it; while devices like the BlackBerry Passport and the HTC One have decent sound outputs, they are still a far cry from the kind of quality, that’s good enough to “turn up” to. Then consider also that laptops and tablets which have somehow become the de facto means of consuming videos also aren’t packing so much in the type of “oomph” in the volume department to take your entertainment to the next level. Wireless speakers are in, because they are portable, mostly offer great quality sound and solve the problem of continuing the playlist that’s playing in the car, inside your house…saving you all that time you spend sitting in the parked car waiting for a not-so-cool song to play before getting out.

Did I mention that most of them are rechargeable? Take that NEPA/PHCN/DISCO.

Health/fitness tracker

On your daily commute to work, I am pretty sure you have noticed the number of people taking walks or running, with no one hot on their heels. Fitness is now such a huge deal in these parts that there is a startup built around fitness now. If smartwatches aren’t your thing (and even if they are), a fitness tracker might be something that tickles your fancy. After all, what’s the point of all the “fitfaming” if you don’t have your stats and data to make noise about track your progress? Fitness trackers may not look as cool or offer the functionality of smartwatches, but they are more accurate at what they do. Plus having to explain the concept of a running band, for example makes for a great conversation starter.

Drones

Growing up, some of us got to play with remote control planes/choppers which were loads of fun, even though in retrospect, most of them had really wonky controls and weren’t intuitive. For the rest of us who weren’t ajebutter, at the very least, we got to play with paper planes and kites. The need to control something in flight has always been a strong desire for most.

With drones now commercially available and cheap ones in particular being churned out of China on the daily, that desire is one that can finally be fed. What’s cooler, they aren’t just toys any more. With cameras, smooth controls and the ability to hover in the same spot, their use now extends way beyond their value as toys.

Kindle

Not a lot of people like reading, but everyone likes someone who is well read (asides the I-Too-Knows), so reading is definitely a “new” cool. In many regards, these days, meeting someone who reads extensively is almost like meeting a real-life ninja – we know they exist, and they’ll have cool tricks to show us, but don’t come across them very often.

You know what’s not so cool though? A stack of paperbacks (well, except they are in a shelve as part of the decor). E-Ink readers and Kindles in particular are functional and really cool to look at. They serve that cool, serious, studious look without looking like you’re from a ’80s TV show.

Asides smartphones and tablets, these are other things you should be checking out. We will have a bunch of reviews in some of those categories up shortly, before then though, did we miss any? Let us know!

There is a Game in your Chrome Browser

2015-04-10T09:18:00.000+01:00

Google is one of the most fun companies in the world in my books. From doodles to Easter eggs on YouTube, there is always some small nuggets to be found here and there as you browse through their ecosystem.

I just discovered this about two weeks ago, or more correctly, a 12-year old, pointed it out to me. (I know, my last here is terrible right?)

I had always wondered why there was a dinosaur in Chrome whenever a page failed to load. Turns out that by tapping any of the direction keys on your keyboard, it becomes a mini platform game (think a very basic version of Temple Run in 2-D). Great for killing time while your internet catches its breath.

Hopefully, I haven’t just unleashed a Zuma replacement in several Civil Service offices across the country. I know you are off running to your computer to try it out, but before you do, are there any other similar nuggets I have missed? Please share in the comments.

Twitter Now Let’s You Retweet With Comments

2015-04-10T09:02:00.000+01:00

One of the age-long issues with Twitter has been the how “Retweets” (RTs) are handled. Many had complained when the ability to Retweet while appending comments was taken away from the native app about a year ago, and the sentiment hasn’t changed much with each new iteration of the Retweet function.

The newest update from twitter across platforms brings yet another change from how the Retweet function is handled. The newest update, now replaces the quote which before now added “” to an old tweet and let you append your comments, to a new system that opens the tweet as a link and relies on Twitter’s card feature to embed the tweet in your timeline. The result is that you now have access to your full 140 characters when quoting a tweet.

The downside to this new change is that for those using third-party apps – especially those without the twitter card functionality – will only get links which they have to click on and open in a browser.

The feature has rolled out for all the platforms right now.

If and when you do check it out, let us know what you think about it.

MTN Said To Start Purchase of Nigeria Wireless Operator Visafone

2015-04-10T08:54:00.000+01:00

Word on the street is that MTN Group has commenced the process of acquiring Visafone Communications Limited. While details are sketchy at the moment, MTN is apparently buying it as an expansion move in a market it already dominates. Visafone currently has just about 2.2 million subscribers against MTN’s 55 million, so it’s fair to assume that the growth in this case is not subscribers but most likely technology.

If the move goes through, it won’t be the first company MTN would be acquiring for its tech. In 2007, just around time Visafone was setting up, MTN acquired VGC Communications, a telecommunications provider licensed to provide cabling and radio telephone services nationwide. The company had laid an extensive fibre optic cable network around VGC and took care of most of the telephony needs there at the time. The same company is today behind MTN’s wimax service – Hynet among other things.

The acquisition may also be related to a license that Visafone has that MTN might need, however, as at the time of writing this, I am clueless as to which one it could be. In any case, it will be interesting to see what becomes of the acquisition if it goes through. And also what becomes of their 10 terabyte plan.

PHOTOS: Ancient Buildings in Abeokuta

2015-04-08T19:36:00.000+01:00

Abeokuta is the largest city and capital of Ogun State in southwest Nigeria. It is situated on the east bank of the Ogun River, near a group of rocky outcrops in a wooded savanna; 77 kilometres north of Lagos by railway, or 130 kilometres by water.

With a population of about 593,140, the sleepy town is known for its quietness and serene nature. Abeokuta does not have the trappings of a state capital like Ikeja, Lagos or Port-harcourt, Rivers state.

One major feature in the ancient city is the old buildings that adorn the environment. These structures have been around for ages, thus, making the city look like an abandoned site.

Naij.com photographer went round the city and bring you pictures from an environment begging for attention from the government

Meanwhile, the presidential elections results in Ogun state shows that the residents voted overwhelmingly for the All Progressives Congress.

Gabon has been confirmed as the host country for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations. Libya had been initially selected to stage the competition, but its hosting rights were withdrawn in August last year due to the unstable security situation in the country.

2015 winners Ivory Coast will play Sudan in Group I. The draws were made in Cairo, Egypt on Wednesday. Nigeria failed to qualify for AFCON 2015 but won the previous edition in 2013.

The groups in full:

Group M: Gambia, Mauritania, Cameroon, South Africa

Nigeria’s first match will be against Chad in Nigeria on 12th of June 2015.

PHOTOS: Thief Clings to the Side of a Building for 3 Days to Avoid Arrest

2015-04-08T19:14:00.000+01:00

A thief spent three days clinging onto the outside of the fourth floor of a hotel building – because he didn’t want to be arrested and bring shame on his elderly mother.

After he was spotted trying to steal power cables, he climbed up the outside of the hotel in the Chinese province of Shenzhen, before sitting on an external air conditioner for 70 hours.

During the ensuing stand-off police and rescue services stayed around the clock to try and talk him down but he refused to budge, according to The People’s Daily.

As he dashed up the side of the building the emergency services, worried that the man was suicidal, set up an inflatable cushion underneath him to catch him if he fell – only for him to move to avoid it.

During the stand-off he refused all food and water, before eventually accepting a bottle of water from a journalist from the Shenzhen Evening News as a large contingent of local media also gathered to film the stand-off.

The man then broke down – telling the reporter he was worried his actions would have embarrassed his 70-year-old mother, who police then offered to pay for him to visit

After 70 hours on the side of the hotel he eventually relented and climbed back into the building before being arrested by the solitary police officer who remained on duty.

Seven Reasons why Everybody Loves Jimi Agbaje

2015-04-08T14:59:00.002+01:00

As the build-up to the election continues, the momentum is swinging more and more to the underdog, Jimi Agbaje. It is pretty easy to see why as the down-to-earth politician is a rare breed.

Below are seven reasons why everyone loves Jimi Agbaje and why the JK is OK movement is garnering a lot of followers by the second.

1. He is Smart:

Jimi Agbaje is unarguably one of the smartest politicians around. This is even more evident when you hear him speak. He is articulate and one of the best public speakers in the country.

2. Clean Hands:

Unlike most politicians, Jimi Agbaje has never been involved in any graft or scandal which makes him a role model of some sorts to aspiring politicians, considering that politics is usually considered an exercise to get one’s hands dirty. Jimi Agbaje is a far cry from the regular Nigerian politician and his track record in the private sector speaks for him.

3. Jimi Agbaje has a history of fighting for a better government:

JK’s political genesis can be traced to the aftermath of the 1993 presidential election. According to him, he saw the annulment of the result as an insult on the Nigerian people and got into politics to change the state. Over the years, Agbaje has been involved in a number of resistance movements seeking for a better society. This informed his early rapport with notable figures like Pat Utomi, Dr Ayo Ighodaro, Asue Ighodalo, Billy Lawson, Oby Ezekwesili, Tola Mobolurin, among others. It is widely believed that the equitable society Jimi has always sought after will be easily realized if given the mandate.

4. He has a rich professional resume:

Asides currently sitting on the board of a number of renowned companies, Jimi Agbaje boasts an illustrious resume. From 1987 to 1990, Jimi Agbaje served as National Secretary of Nigerian Association, General Practice. From 1990 to 1993, Mr. Agbaje held various professional appointments which include National Chairman of Nigerian Association of General Practice Pharmacists. From 1994 to 1997, he served as Chairman of Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (Lagos State). He also was Chairman of 1994 National Conference Planning Committee of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria. In the year 2000, Jimi Agbaje served as the National Treasurer of Afenifere, more proof that public funds are indeed safe with him.

5. Jimi’s manifesto is compelling:

Have you seen and read his manifesto? You should visit his website www.jimiagbaje.com and see for yourself. His ideas are plain for all to see and are driven towards the development of Lagos. Anybody who sees that manifesto and doesn’t throw his weight behind Agbaje’s bid must not love Lagos and Nigeria at large.

6. He is an enviable father and husband:

Jimi Agbaje met his wife Abiola Agbaje (Bankole) at the then University of Ife (now University of Ibadan), and has stuck with her until now, with their three children. Unlike most randy politicians, Jimi is known as a loyal husband which has seen him carve a niche as a loving family man and many are testament to his fatherly responsibilities.

7. Jimi is the Change Lagos needs:

For the past 16 years, Lagos has been ruled by a single group of people/persons although their name has changed over time, they are still the same set of people. Considering the fact that there has been a change at the Federal level, Jimi is looked at by many is the change that can be seen in Lagos, given the wanton mismanagement of the state’s vast resources, human and otherwise.

PHOTOS: Popular PDP Chieftain Defects to the APC in Ondo

2015-04-08T14:43:00.000+01:00

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has lost one of its major members in Ondo state.

Chief Olusola Oke, the PDP governorship candidate in the 2012 governorship election in the state has concluded plans to defect officially to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

An aide of Oke who spoke to a Saharareporters correspondent under condition of anonymity in Akure, said Oke had last weekend met with former President Olusegun Obasanjo on his defection plans.

Obasanjo reportedly gave him his blessing to go ahead with his plans. Oke met with leaders of the APC at the party’s secretariat in Akure, while arrangement on his defection has been concluded.

The aide said, “Chief Olusola Oke at the late hour of yesterday midnight met with the State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Isaac Kekemeke and other leaders of the party which includes Tayo Alasoadura inside the party’s secretariat.

“The meeting was a very long one because several considerations have to be put in place and mind you, Oke was at the midnight meeting with only trusted allays from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

“Some of the considerations was that he (Oke) would be defecting alongside a horde supporters from to the All Progressives Congress (APC), which literary means he is coming with a whole structure to the party, and there must be room to accommodate them all”, he said.

A press conference for Oke to address journalists on the reason for leaving the PDP for the opposition APC has already been penned down today.

Tayo Alasoadura, a leader of the party and senator-elect from the Ondo central senatorial district of the state who was also at the midnight meeting has confirmed Oke’s defection.

“Yes, I can confirm to you that Olusola Oke of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is now in the All Progressives Congress (APC). We have talked and ironed out how the party would accommodate us all. He would be coming with a big structure, and there is enough room to accommodate them all.

“His defection would put heat on his former party and is going to be a crack on their wall because more people are coming. You remembered the Deputy Governor, Ali Olanusi is now with us, and I can assure you that many more will join us in days to come”, he said.

Oke have been having a running battle with the governor of the state, Olusegun Mimiko since the defection of latter to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). The governor had dominated the party and forcefully hijacked its structure.

BREAKING: Court Stops DSTV from Increasing Subscription Fees

2015-04-08T14:21:00.003+01:00

A Justice of the federal high court in Ikoyi, Lagos, C J Aneke, has granted an order of interim injunction restraining Multichoice from enforcing its planned increase in cost of the different classes of viewing of its pay TV, DSTV.

MultiChoice, owners of DStv and GOtv, had announced a 20 percent price increase for all its satellite pay TV bouquets in Nigeria to take effect from April 1, 2015. According to them, the annual price increase, usually in-line with inflation, is necessary for it to continue offering the best in local and international entertainment to its subscribers.

The judge asked parties to maintain status quo in support of the motion ex parte with an affidavit of urgency sworn to by the plaintiff. The order read in part:

“That an order of interim injunction is hereby granted to the parties to maintain the status quo restraining the 1st defendant (Multichoice/DSTV) from giving effect or enforcing its planned increase in cost of the different classes of viewing or programmes bouquet, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.”

“That an order is hereby granted certifying the plaintiffs’ claim as a class action for themselves as individual subscribers, other corporate subscribers, distributors and retailers of the 1st defendants’ services.

“That an order is hereby granted restraining any other person whether individual or corporate from instituting any other action as may be related to the action against the defendant to prevent multiplicity of lawsuits pursuant to the appointment of the plaintiffs in the class action but may instead opt in or out of this action”.

The suit, filed by Adebayo Osasuyi and Oluyinka Oyeniji, DSTV subscribers/customers, at the federal high court registry Ikoyi, Lagos was adjourned to the 16th April 2015 for hearing.

Scores of people in Kwara State who claimed to be customers of Ayonitemi Cooperative Business Finance, on Tuesday as early as 7am, besieged the premises of the bank alleging that they had been defrauded by the firm.

The wonder bank is located at Oniyangi, near the Emir Road, Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

Many of the customers, most of them weeping, told PUNCH Metro they had lost substantial amount of money which they deposited in the finance house. They stated that they had been promised mouthwatering financial offers if they made deposit in the bank.

Many of them spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid being made subject of mockery by people who might know them.

One of them said she received information to come on Tuesday to collect her money which she had been depositing in the bank for many months. She claimed to have invested about N1m in the bank without her husband’s knowledge and consent.

“I have been depositing money in the bank for some months. They promised that they will not disappoint us. They told us that they were from Kwara State and they had no other place to run to. So, I was convinced that this bank was real. I did not even inform my husband of my transactions with them. Unfortunately, they disappointed us and ran away.”

Some other victims claimed to have lost money ranging from N100,000 to N450,000. Some of them later descended on the office of the firm and carted away office furniture and items, including electronics.

Efforts to get the reaction of the officials of the bank proved abortive.

The Kwara State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ajayi Okesanmi, said the command had not been briefed that about the alleged fraud by the bank.
