It may look all shiny and new, but your smartphone is probably one of the filthiest things you own. The amount of bacteria and germs it carries is disgustingly huge, which is probably why a Japanese company is targeting germaphobes with the world’s first washable phone. The Snapdragon 410 processor, 5-inch android phone, called Digno Rafre, is all set to be released in Japan by tech company Kyocera Telecom this week. It’s USP is that it’s waterproof and soap resistant, so it can be thoroughly washed under running water. There’s no risk of water entering the device because it’s entirely sealed to keep water and bubbles from getting in. It doesn’t even have a speaker, relying instead on a Smart Sonic receiver that transmits sound through vibrations on the phone’s screen. The built-in 13MP camera is also waterproof. Apart from being washable, the phone is also ideal for kids, for people who are clumsy and keep dropping their phones everywhere, or like to take bathtub selfies. It eve...

Daily reading new trends in Nigeria, revelations of how billions and trillions of Naira were looted from Nigeria’s treasury under the Goodluck Jonathan administration continue to hit Nigerians like a Mike Tyson blow. No one had envisaged the extent of the rot. In light of this, INFORMATION NIGERIA takes a look at the 6 things that could have happened had Jonathan won in the election and returned as president: 1. These revelations made about the moneys allegedly looted by Sambo Dasuki, Okonjo Iweala, Bashir Yuguda, Dieziani Alison-Madueke etc, would most likely have never come to light. 2. Nigeria will currently be paying back money spent for the PDP campaign despite the terrible state of the economy due to continue fall in crude oil price. 3. Since Nigeria would still be under the grip of the PDP, most state government would be run by the PDP. The ones lost in the election would be gotten using the election tribunal. 4. The likes of Obasanjo, Tinubu, Buhari, Sanusi, Oshimhole, ...

Tanzania’s President John Pombe Magufuli is once again in the news for the positive reasons. This time, the president, dressed casually and wearing a hat and a pair of gloves, joined hundreds of people in sweeping streets and collecting rubbish in the country’s capital, Dar es Salaam. Magufuli had cancelled the lavish Independence Day celebrations and asked Tanzanians to clean-up their neighbourhoods. True to his word, he led people in Dar es Salaam in a clean-up exercise, mingling freely with them. The cleaning exercise was replicated across the East African country, with schools and shops remaining closed as people swept streets, pruned trees and tidied up their areas. This is the first time that Tanzania has not celebrated the Independence Day in 54 years. The president said it would be shameful to spend huge sums of money on celebrations when Tanzanians “are dying of cholera”. Cholera has killed about 60 people in Tanzania in the last three months – many of them in poor...

I am not sure but during the week, the husband called her telling her he would come back home. She came to church and during prayer time, she took the condoms out and handed them to my assistant asking if they were okay to use when her husban...
