World first buoyant smartphone by Comet sets for a release.

“A buoyant smartphone, you say? a smartphone that completely stays afloat on water like a wooden cork, How is that possible?” Believe it or not, Comet Core, the company behind this masterpiece, has induced three fins into the phone’s chassis that supposedly pop out the second your Comet smartphone hits the water. Surprisingly, Comet Core doesn’t really explain how this tech works, only that its engineers have put in “lots of time and effort” to design this wonder-phone.

Okay, so even if you can get past the three buoyant fins, the ridiculousness doesn’t stop there. The Comet offers up top-of-the-line specifications that would put many of today’s flagships and the likes of other mtk devices into an imminent shame.

It comes with a 4.7-inch Quad HD display, a 4000mAh battery(now thats what I call cool backup), a 2.5GHz Snapdragon 810 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 16MP rear and front-facing cameras. It also has mood-recognizing LED lights on the side of the device, as well as its very own “Bubble Messenger” platform that’s exclusive to Comet phone users. Bubble Messenger “reflects you with every bubble, and also reflects your gender.” Whatever that means.

If you’re hooked, you can take advantage of the company’s early bird special and grab your very own Comet for just $230 that's about 45,770 naira , completely unlocked. If the phone ever makes its way into production, which it definitely will, you can expect the phone to ship sometime around May 2016. Either Comet Core is infinitely idealistic and actually thinks it can bring this smartphone to market, or this is a scam. Now I don’t know anything for sure, but I’m pretty sure it’s the latter. Luckily this isn’t a flex funding campaign, so if the company doesn’t reach its $100,000 goal by July 6th, no money will be rewarded.

With all of that said,the question is; is anybody out there planning to pledge their hard-earned cash on this completely legitimate product?

Iphone vs Android: Hard Features In Android Not Present In Iphone

"If you don’t have an iPhone..." you probably have an Android phone (actually you are more likely to own an Android phone). And we give you 15 reasons to feel a little more pleased with your choice of phone.

The iPhone that revolutionised the smartphone market is now in its 9th generation with the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. But there’s a long list of features that these top-of-the-line phones don’t possess that many much-humbler Android devices do.

1. Universal charging interface:

The scene of an iPhone user frantically asking around for a compatible charger is reminiscent of the Nokia ‘thin-pin days.’ The absence of a standard charging interface (supported by other platforms) can make iPhone users feel incapacitated at times when their phones run low on battery. The iPhone charging woes doesn’t end at that. The connector used in older iPhones 4/4s were different from the ones used in iPhone 5 and above.

For an Android user, life is much simpler. With most Android phones being equipped with a charging interface that is more or less an industry standard, there is not much trouble in finding that friendly charger.

The next move to USB Type-C is already on. Apple has included it in the new MacBook but will it be included in the next iPhone?

2. USB OTG (on-the-go):

With a limited storage space on most phones, it's not always possible for you to store everything that you need on your device. And that is when the OTG capability on Android phones (not a standard feature, but available on many phones) comes to the rescue. The OTG feature on phones allows you to simply connect a pen drive to your phone (via an OTG cable) and voila! Some pen drives even come with built-in OTG support. But if you are an iPhone user, this isn’t as easy and as readily available as for Android devices.

3. Wireless charging:

While it's a high-end feature and is currently available only in a few flagship Android phones, but not yet in any of the iPhones.

4. Dual-SIM support

I personally know a couple of users who moved from iPhone to Android merely because of the absence of the dual-SIM support in iPhones. This might not be so desirable a feature in Apple’s home market but in countries such as India, having two SIMs is often a necessity and this is becoming more of a norm for Android phones rather than an exception.

5. Expandable storage:

There have been security and performance concerns about the inclusion of additional storage (via a microSD card) in a phone. And therefore, you will see companies taking different stands on this. While Apple has been sticking to its old idea of not offering an option to expand storage memory, the Android market is fragmented in this context. While majority of OEMs like Samsung, LG and Sony are of the opinion to have a microSD card slot in phones, others like Google, which has its OS running on all Android devices doesn't prefer to offer additional storage on its Nexus devices. Xiaomi, on the other hand, has a mix of both (expandable and non-expandable models) in its Android product portfolio.

Despite this, most Android users have an option to make a choice if they want phones with additional storage or remain comfortable with only built-in memory. On other hand, iPhone users need to just manage with the limited storage available on their phones. Even though iPhones come in different storage variants they are accompanied with deterring price tags.

6. Guest mode:

The Guest mode introduced by Google in Android 5.0 has proven to be a boon for many, especially for parents who share their phones with their kids. The availability of setting up a Guest mode on Android phones not only keeps your data safe and away from the reach of others, but also makes it easier for users to share their Android device with other family members. iPhones don’t have a comparable feature to offer.

7. In-call recording:

There are times, when you need to record conversations taking place over the phone for legitimate purposes. And as a journalist who often needs to record telephonic interviews, I can understand the significance of having an in-call recording feature in a phone. While the feature is not available in all Android phones, there are many handsets that come with this feature on board. For instance, phones from Asus and Xiaomi come pre-loaded with the in-call recording support. But if you have an iPhone, you would need to get additional stuff to be able to do that or resort to such jugaads:

An iPhone-owning colleague had to record a telephonic interview but he, obviously, couldn’t do that on his phone. So found a quiet corner in the office, made the call via a landline phone, put it on speaker mode and used the voice recorder on iPhone to record the conversation.

8. Lock-screen gestures:

While Android phones come with a plethora of options to unlock your phone including a fingerprint sensor, PIN, password, swipe, pattern, and face detection, iPhones, on the other hand, include only two - passcode and TouchID fingerprint.

9. Quick charging:

Be it Motorola's Turbo charging feature or the rapid charging via USB Type-C in the new Nexus phones, there are many Android phones out there that support fast charging. For instance, the TurboPower charger gives the Moto X Style users over 6 hours of power in just 15 minutes.

While Apple boasts of improved battery in the new iPhones, it still doesn't have support for quick charging.

10. Drag and drop files:

The ease with which data can be transferred to Android phones is missing in iPhones. Android users need to just simply connect the phone to a laptop/desktop, select the files, drag and drop. iPhone users, however, can transfer files to their iPhones only if the device the content is being transferred from has iTunes pre-installed. The seamless Android file transfer experience is missing for iPhone users who are often tied to a single PC to sync their content.

11. Multiple apps on one screen: The multi-window mode splits your phone's screen in different parts so that users can access multiple apps on one screen, thereby bringing desktop-like capabilities to the phone. While this mode is limited to a very few Android handsets, primarily Samsung's, you can’t do that on an iPhone - not even on the 6s Plus.

12. Universal remote control:

IR blaster in Android phones allows users to double their phone as universal remote control for devices used at home including TV and AC. Though all Android phones don't come with IR blasters, there are many from companies including Samsung, HTC, ZTE, Oppo, and LG that come engineered with it. No such comforts for iPhone users.

13. FM Radio:

FM Radio is one of the key features that many phone users in India look forward to while buying a new device. And this is the reason that many companies are including FM radio in their devices released for the Indian market. For instance, OnePlus, keeping in mind the nature of the Indian market, recently announced the OnePlus Radio that debuted with the OnePlus X. But this app that is almost a necessity for millions of users isn’t there on any iPhone.

14. Sharing via Bluetooth:

One of the oldest ways to share files is via Bluetooth. While in the modern-age world, people prefer IM apps like WhatsApp, sharing apps like ShareIT, or cloud services like DropBox for file sharing, but it is always handy to have Bluetooth around in times of patchy connectivity or limited data. But if you have an iPhone, you might want to venture out looking for a stronger signal (or change your data plan).

15. Default browser:

The Internet is about freedom and one of the primary freedoms is the choice of a Web browser. But if you are an iPhone user Apple will not allow you that liberty. While you can install other browsers on an iPhone, Safari will remain the default unless you take routes that Apple doesn’t want you to (such as jailbreaking). For Android users, changing the default browser is only a tap away. Personally I think Android won the battle.

Understanding What Dual Sim Standby And Dual Sim Active Actually Means

When buying a dual SIM mobile phone there is one feature that creates a lot of confusion among the customers. It is important to know what Dual Active and Dual Standby really means. Because once you open the handset box pack, there is no turning back.
So you want to buy a dual SIM and the specifications say it supports dual Standby, do you really know what it is or are you just happy that you can use 2 SIM on a single phone. In most cases customers get disappointed because they never understood the feature.

Dual Standby phone

The market is filled with a lot of low cost or high end phones that supports dual Standby mode. Read the word carefully and you will understand what it really means. Dual + Standby, this means the phone supports dual SIM but in Standby mode.
In simple words when none of the SIM are used then both the SIM’s are active but when you are using a particular SIM the other SIM becomes inactive. Another issue with dual standby phones that support 3G is that, when the 3G / 2G network is used the other SIM becomes inactive.
Usually you will not notice this issue with normal usage, but try downloading a big file or watch a streaming YouTube video, the other SIM will be unreachable. In dual standby if a person is using SIM 1 and another person is calling on SIM 2 they will hear the message “not reachable, try again later”.
Many of the dual SIM users usually talk more on one particular SIM and the other SIM is basically for their personal use – not so important, they don’t really have any issues with this mode. If you want both the SIM’s active at all times then this is not the feature you should are looking for.

Dual Active phone

Again as the same suggest its Dual phone with active mode which means both the SIM’s are active all the time. Dual active is relatively easier to understand.
Use SIM 1 or SIM 2 for voice calls or net surfing the other SIM is always active you can still receive calls on the other SIM and even switch calls for example, you can keep the caller on SIM 1 on hold and talk to the other user on SIM 2.
There are very few dual Active phones available in India, so if you need this functionality make sure you choose the right option. The Dual Standby phones use a single transceiver which at a given time can server only one SIM, whereas most dual Active phones comes dual transceiver, one for each SIM.
Do check before you buy the dual active phone because even when the manufacture says that it is dual active it still works like a dual standby.

How to register your business in Nigeria.

There are thousands of Businesses being set up every day in Nigeria by individuals, companies and associations. Setting up a business is the first step towards being an entrepreneur and owning a highly successful venture. Setting up a business requires that you follow these steps.

What type of Business

Deciding what type of business you wish to go into is the first tough decision you have to make. A lot of people often find it difficult to settle into a particular type of business as they often find themselves clogged by multiple ideas. If you however, wish to start a business then it is important that you quickly decide on the type of business you want to do. It is also important to decide early as several businesses operate under a legal and regulatory frameworks that may require further stringent rules before registering.

Do you need partners or wish to start solo?

The next decision you should be making is whether you want to fly solo with your business or if you need a partner. Whilst most entrepreneurs do not require any partners or shareholders to start their businesses, there are some businesses that may require unique expertise that you may not have. Even if you decide to start solo nothing stops you from adding new partners or shareholders in future.

What is the legal form of the business?

A business can take so many legal forms. It can either be a sole proprietorship, a partnership or a limited liability company. It can also be a company Limited by Guarantee (NGO) or a non for profit business. Each form operates under a unique legal framework and tax jurisdictions. For example, if you want to start a business and do not want any shareholder or partner then a Sole Proprietorship may just be the right way to go. With a Sole Proprietorship you do not need a shareholder and your tax jurisdiction will be with the state government where you reside. Sole proprietorship also do not have the acronym “Ltd” after their business names.

How much capital do you have?

Starting a business also requires some form of capital. If your business is one that you want registered then you will have to set aside some cash for the incorporation of your company. Unofficial price for this can range between N40,000 to N100,000 depending on how you are getting it done. You can also register online from what we understand. Company Registration fees can be found here.

Do you have a business name?

The next thing on the plate will be a business name. A business name is important for any form of business that you want to venture into. For your business name to be registered it will have to be unique to you at least within the same industry. As such before you get a business name you will have to run a search in the website of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) or go through your lawyer. Once the name is approved you can pay to reserve it.

What is your registered address?

Part of the requirements to fill during your application to the CAC will be the registered address of the company. The registered address is the official address of your company and will also likely be the basis for deciding your place of residence by the tax authorities.

Get a lawyer & Register your company

With all of the above in place already, you can get ready to meet your lawyer. Hand the documents over the lawyer along with the fees. Your company should be registered within days if it is not for a company limited by guarantee.

Get a logo

Once your company in registered you should start thinking about branding and publicity. Get a catchy logo for your company and make sure it is in every material or thing that represents your business. With a good logo your brand can be immensely boosted.

Get a stamp and a seal

Every business MUST have a legal stamp and seal which is unique to it. Seals in particular will come in handy when the filling application forms or signing important contractual documents for your business

Get a letter head

A letter head is the official piece of paper used by the company to communicate official messages or information to third parties. Your letter head will include logo, company address and name as well as the board of directors.

Open a Bank account

Once your company is registered, you should take the incorporation documents to a commercial bank and have them open a corporate account for you. Corporate accounts can sometimes take time to be open, however banks are more efficient at opening one and should not take more than 48 hours.

Get a TIN Number

A TIN is a Tax Identity Number for individuals and corporate organisations. New businesses can easily obtain a Tin from the local branch of the tax office where the registered business is located. Without a TIN it can be difficult to get contracts or get deals from the private or public sector. It can also mean that the company is not tax compliance resulting in potential tax liabilities.

Get a website & social media account

Now that your business has been registered, the next thing to do is to have a website for it. Your website and social media handles help give your businesses the much needed visibility it requires to flourish. Your web accounts will also help you set up your official email and those of your staff.

MTN Must Respect Laws Of Host Countries - South Africa Deputy President

South Africa’s Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa has urged Africa’s biggest mobile-phone company, the MTN Group Ltd., to follow the rules in countries where it is operating.

This followed a fine of $5.2 billion imposed on MTN by telecoms industry regulator, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), for failing to disconnect customers with unregistered phone cards.

NCC gave MTN until November 16 to pay the fine, which relates to the timing of the disconnection of 5.1 million subscribers and is based on a charge of N200,000 ($1,005) for each unregistered customer.

Nigeria is the Johannesburg-based MTN’s biggest market with 62 million clients as of September.

The company’s shares have slumped 14 per cent since October 26, when the fine was imposed.
Ramaphosa, in an address to lawmakers in Cape Town yesterday, said the government would be taking note of what “is happening with a view of seeing how the company involved responds and reacts” to its challenges.

“We would like our companies to comply with the laws and regulations of countries where they operate, without violating them.

“It does seem like in the case of Nigeria, there were issues, and those issues need to be addressed.

“If this fine is indeed imposed as it is, it is going to impact on South Africa as well, as our revenue fortunes from a taxation point of view are going to be lower,” he said.

Agency reports indicated that comments by Ramaphosa, a former chairman of MTN, suggested that South African authorities might leave MTN to face its problem as it seeks to have the penalty reduced.

South African authorities might also be reluctant to confront their Nigerian counterparts following a series of diplomatic spats that have soured relations between the Africa’s two biggest economies.

The most recent occurred in April, when Nigeria’s government allegedly ordered its two most senior diplomats in South Africa to return home for consultations following a wave of attacks against immigrants, including Nigerians, in Johannesburg and Durban.

“South Africa does not have a track record of defending its national company champions internationally,” Nic Borain, a political analyst, who advises BNP Paribas Cadiz Securities, said by phone.

“On the face of it, this fine seems seriously over the top. Ramaphosa’s words about the issue seem weak as they veer too much on the side of caution,” he added.

South Africa’s telecommunication and finance ministries didn’t respond to agency’s calls and e-mails seeking comment.

Lawmakers plan to summon MTN officials to explain why the company was fined, Nkhensani Kubayi, chairwoman of Parliament’s telecommunications committee, said by phone from Cape Town.

The panel will also ask the South African industry regulator to determine whether MTN is compliant with local rules, with hearings likely to take place next year, she said.

N1.4trn Penalty Too Heavy To Bear – MTN

N1.4trn penalty too heavy to bear – MTN

Three days after Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC slammed a N1.4 trillion penalty on MTN Nigeria for failure to disconnect customers with unregistered SIM cards, Parent company MTN group has cried out that the fine was too extreme, even as it continues to engage the regulator on how to resolve the issue.

MTN Group noted with dismay that Nigerian Communications Commission refused to listen to its plea to reconsider its stand on the penalty slammed on its Nigerian arm last week.

According to a report, MTN Nigeria spokeswoman, Chineze Gbenga-Oluwatoye, had said in an e-mailed response, that “recommendations were put forward with respect to the non-commensurable nature of the fine but the Nigerian Communications Commission did not accept recommendations that the fine of 200,000 Naira ($1,005) per SIM was too heavy.”

‘‘MTN Nigeria contacted the regulator with concerns that a demand to disconnect SIM cards by a certain deadline would cause “severe disruption” for customers and recommended a staggered process to limit the possible impact,’’ said Oluwatoye.

As a result of the fine, MTN shares plummeted about 20 percent this week in Johannesburg. The biggest four-day drop since 2008, valuing the company at about 284 billion rand ($21 billion).

A MTN service provider tries to register a client's SIM card in Lagos, on October 27, 2015. Nigeria's telecommunications regulator has fined South African mobile giant MTN $5.2 billion for missing a deadline to disconnect unregistered SIM cards, the company announced on Monday. The penalty saw shares in Africa's largest telecommunications company crash more than 12 percent to 167 rand on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the biggest fall the firm has suffered in a day since November 1998.

Nigeria’s telecommunications regulator has fined South African mobile giant MTN $5.2 billion for missing a deadline to disconnect unregistered SIM cards, the company announced on Monday. The penalty saw shares in Africa’s largest telecommunications company crash more than 12 percent to 167 rand on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the biggest fall the firm has suffered in a day since November 1998.

The phone operator had said on Monday that the Nigerian Communications Commission is seeking the penalties because it missed a deadline to disconnect 5.1 million subscribers and is reviewing its management in the country.

Moody’s Investors Service had on Thursday lowered it’s rating for MTN to negative from stable following the fine.

“Key concerns raised to the NCC highlighted the difficulty of carefully reviewing the data on 18.6 million records within the one week deadline to ensure identification and disconnection of only affected subscribers,” Oluwatoye added.

Meanwhile, Financial analysts have pointedly said that Nigeria government is at risk of scaring off investors it can’t afford to lose if the N1.4 trillion fine slammed on MTN holds through.

With an economy struggling to cope with sliding oil prices, the experts said currency restrictions and no finance minister, authorities are doing themselves no favors by penalizing one of their biggest foreign investors.

According to fund managers including David McIlroy of Alquity Investment Management Limited, the fine equates to more than 20 percent of Johannesburg-based MTN’s market value.

“It’s the last thing Nigeria needs, given the economic and political struggles it’s contending with at the moment,” McIlroy, chief investment officer at Alquity, which oversees $100 million of frontier market stocks, including MTN shares, said by phone from London.

Ntel Set To Rollout 0804 Sim's To Welcom 4G LTE This Month

This is what I call serious business, I now see reasons why NCC lambasted MTN Nigeria with that killer huge 1.4trillion amount of money. You see, Ntel is coming with full force and they are bench on launching 4GLTE service which means if your device is not 4G Supported, all what this post is saying will just be like parable to you.

Ntel will be deploying the old 0804 lines that Mtel once used to Nigerians, meaning you’ll now be considering getting 0804 lines this month. Remember it will first of all be launch in Port-Harcourt, Abuja and Lagos before it gets to other states.

Hmm… *take a deep sigh* and I thought, Hope their data plans will be cheap at least with a N1,000 I should be able to get handful of Gigs without thinking twice.

Hope their network this time around will be stronger than the existing network?

… NatCom last week, announced to Nigerians, its readiness to roll out its telecoms services under the new name, NTEL, with lots of promises to move Nigerian subscribers from the era of poor service quality to the era of uninterrupted telecoms services on its 4G network, riding on the resuscitated NITEL's SAT-3 undersea broadband cable. Now that NTEL is set for service rollout, Nigerians are optimistic that the company will make the difference.

The question is, will you as a heavy data user, or internet surfer or business tycoon who make use of the internet 24/7 go back to your 0804 lines?

War In Telecom Industry As NITEL Return With 4g LTE cheap data services

War In Telecom Industry As NITEL Return With 4G Cheaper Data Services

That awesome moment when you think Nitel is dead and gun for life, and you just woke up one morning seeing NITEL Advert again. The good news is Nitel is coming back with full force to take over the telecom industry. Not NITEL again but Nigerian Telecommunication (NTEL).

This time around, NTEL will focus on Data services at the onset; maybe the've noticed people consumed data much than they make calls.
However, NATCOM Consortium, the winner of the bid for the moribund Nigerian Telecommunications Limited, is planning to roll out services next month.

The consortium will launch 4G Long Term Evolution Technology (LTE) services suggesting that the revamped NITEL may focus on data services from the outset. Come next month been November, 4G data services will be launch in Lagos, Abuja and Port-Harcourt before it will finally roll out to other states.
I guess the return of NITEL will even make data more cheaper and other Telecom industry seat up. If you don't know, NITEL had broadband facilities that traversed the entire country and that once revived, it would boost transmission of broadband capacities from the shores of Nigeria to places in the hinterlands, where the demand is high.
If your device is not 4G supported, then it's time to port with ease.

Android OS journey till date

Android's releases are named after sweets or dessert items (except for the first and second releases):

Have you ever noticed the names are going down alphabetically. A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H M.I.J.K.M.
One can easily predict the next name for version 7,my guess the next one would be nugget, nutterbutter or Nectarine.

1.1 - Alpha

1.2 - Beta

1.5 - Cupcake

1.6 - Donut

2.0.x & 2.1 - Eclair

2.2.x - Frozen Yogurt (Froyo)

2.3.x - Ginger Bread (Minor UI Tweak)

3.x.x - Honeycomb (Major UI revamp)

4.0.x - Ice Cream Sandwich (Minor UI Tweak)

4.1.x, 4.2.x & 4.3.x - Jelly Bean

4.4.4 - KitKat

5.0.1 & 5.1.1 - Lollipop (Major UI revamp)

6.0 - Marshmallow

Just a little more than a year ago, in May 2012, Android’s [NASDAQ:GOOG] market share surpassed that of Apple iOs [NASDAQ:AAPL] for the first time. Back then, Apple's share of the world market was 22.95 percent, and Android’s 23.81 percent -- a difference of less than 1 percent, according to data tracked by
StatCounter.
Today, Android runs on 43 percent of all the world’s smartphones while Apple iOS still runs on one in five smartphones.
Of the 227 countries for which data is tracked by StatCounter, Android was the market leader in 135 countries, whereas Apple was the market leader in only 38 countries, including the U.S.

Android’s biggest advantage is that it isn’t tied to a single device manufacturer or relatively limited price point, which is why the Google-owned OS is very popular in countries with low per-capita income. Android isn’t losing any non-price-sensitive consumers either, because companies like Samsung and HTC produce high-end Android-powered phones featuring the newest technology.

The iOS, which runs only on Apple devices, is not only tied to a device but a relatively high price range. Most of the 38 countries in which iOS is popular are developed countries with a large number of consumers with high disposable incomes.

All new Blackberry priv features that will make android users fall in love

BlackBerry’s First Real Android phone was launched recently and it seems to be a game changer for Blackberry.

The company successfully combined the best features of BlackBerry with the best of Android and best flagship-spec which includes a full QWERTY keyboard, as well as a range of clever additions.

That is awesome.

Android phones have so many interesting features that ensures you don’t get bored while using them but there are some super-cool exceptional things you will definitely love about the new BlackBerry Priv.

It’s close to stock Android: Unlike other manufacturers like HTC, Huawei, LG, Samsung, Sony xiaomi, Meizu etc – BlackBerry didn’t want to change the look and feel of Android too much. It’s a familiar place, looking and behaving like Android, even though there are a range of extras that have been sensitively added in.

Just like Motorola, the company only changed what needs to be changed and sticking to the bits of Android that already work perfectly well.

Pop-up widgets: This is a feature that no one has thought of including before. Instead of dropping widgets onto your home screens, you can have them pop-up from a shortcut icon. Just enable the feature and then a swipe down on the icon will pop the widget up. It keeps things clean and simple on your home screen, and it’s a great addition to Android.

The most interesting part is that it doesn’t need any special widgets – it just uses those that already exist when you install an app. It’s so simple, it’s brilliant – and the idea will probably be stolen before you can say Android 7.0 Nougat.

Keyboard shortcuts: If you’re keen on keeping your home screen clean, you can programme each of the physical keyboard keys to be a shortcut. You simply slide open your handset, long press the key and you’ll be able to assign it to an app. That’s a whole world of shortcuts!

A for Amazon, B for BBC iPlayer, C for Citymapper, D for Docs, E for Expedia, F for Facebook, G for Groupon, H for Hailo, I for Instagram, J for Just Eat, K for Kindle, L for Layout, M for Maps, etc

Battery charging: We’ve all seen the tiny flash icon that appears in the battery when you’re connected to the charger. Or maybe you’ve seen the bubbling battery as it fills with charge. Well Priv uses the edge of it’s curved display to give you charge status at a glance.

When you connect the charger, the draws out around the edge of the display so you can instantly see how charged it is. It changes from red to yellow to green as it goes. It looks really slick. Good job BlackBerry.

BlackBerry Hub: BlackBerry Hub is something that you will easily get addicted to once you start using it. The Hub pulls your Gmail, Calendars, Twitter mentions, your messages together in one place. You can swipe down to peek into your calender for example.

It’s a productive place and BB has stuck to material design, so it fits with the rest of the Android apps you love. Once signed in, you can turn off syncing on your Google accounts for calendar and Gmail, because Hub will do it for you instead.

13 ways to increase your chances of getting your desired job after graduation

This article is composed based on experience and mistakes. It’s meant to be an eye opener for undergraduates and young people who are at the point of starting their career path. There are things you can do to avoid job hunt/unemployment after graduation.

Many years back, all your need is a certificate and you will definitely get a job, now fast forward to few years back, with a good grade like first class, second class upper (2.1) or even second class lower(2.2), you will still get a job. But I discovered that this present age is different. The competition is so high that these companies only buy what you can sell and not your certificate. This means you have to upgrade your performance and ability to be the best candidate. In this article, I will be talking briefly on some things you need to do even while in the university that will boost your career later after school.

Here are my tips to help you secure your dream job after graduation;

1. Work in a similar organization even while in the University (Internship): When you finally graduate and start job hunt, employers will be more interested in candidates that have an experience on the job than a newbie. You can gather this experience from school. Even if the job does not perfectly fit your choice, as long as it is related to your career, go for it. Also, you shouldn’t focus on money right now but the experience. And do any work assigned to you diligently. It will help you build the skills you need for your dream job.

2. Acquaint yourself with your lecturers and professors: These people have been on the field for some years and definitely know what the job entails. They can be your guide and can even recommend you to people who might be of help in the future. Be good to them and respect them like your parents.

3. Be attentive and serious in class: Know that your education is the most important thing now, so don’t take it with levity. Participate in all class activities and do your assignments yourself. This will make you to be in good standing.

4. Ask for help when there is need: Its normal that you inquire about all the courses you will be doing, get relevant books and notes even before the beginning of the semester so as to acquaint yourself with the course. Seek knowledge from classmates and friends who have better understanding about the course.

5. Go for Industrial attachment: At this stage, you are seeking knowledge and not money. Don’t let money be the deciding factor when seeking industrial placement. Rather choose a place where you will get the desired knowledge. The knowledge will earn you a good pay in the next two years or thereabout when you are out of school.

6. Always remember your purpose in school: University life is complex, you have total control of your activities, no parent to stop you from partying. You can even decide not to be in class. But always ask yourself for the type of future you are building for yourself. I believe this will check you.

7.Seek connections (Have a business card): Yes, I know you are still in the university. This card will contain your name, contact information and interests. Each time you meet someone that is a professional in your field, you can give it to him/her. It will make you look official and organized.

8.Be responsible: All reputable organizations are looking for strong leaders who will be diligent in their duties and take responsibilities. While in school, join good clubs and train yourself in leadership roles. Be innovative and write as many informative articles as you can. Be a mentor to someone thereby you can influence a life positively.

9.Be flexible: Be open-minded when applying for your first job. It’s possible you may not land your dream job at the first shot but working in a related field will earn you more experience and occupy you before the real deal.

10. Learn extra skills you were not taught in school: I think the subject is explanatory enough. Develop your writing skills and be more professional.

11. Utilize membership with professional organizations: Even while working in a related field, you can join the professional bodies of your career path. Your interaction with the members will help one way or the other in achieving your goal.

12. Let professionals examine your Resume: This will give them the chance to help you amend it to a good taste from their wealth of experience.

13. Research about potential employers: Once offered an interview, make sure you learn about the company’s values. This will give you a huge advantage during the interview.

This article is dedicated to all job seekers/hunter out there. I pray you will laugh at last.

Major ways to identify scam interview(job recruiters)

I have seen so many folks complaining and lamenting their ordeal in the hands of fake scam companies who invite people for interview only to introduce them to fake drug marketing business.
I'm doing this not only because these companies waste people's time, energy and T-fair going to such interviews, but also because most of these scammers extort money from hapless job seekers thereby making their suffering times two.

Imagine a scammer extorting #10,500 from a graduate who have been unemployed for years, not to talk of the transport fare wasted going to such fruitless interviews or job chat as they usually call it.
Some people even borrow money to pay these sheep in wolves clothing, who promise them heaven on earth. Some will tell you that you will make half a million within 1 month and all that. If you're not careful, you will take a loan that you will not be able to repay thus causing embarrassment and lack of rest of mind. An unemployed person should have only himself to worry about, not having debts also.

So I believe that if we are properly guided, we will not fall into the hands of these scammers.
Having said that, there are ways by which one can identify a fake or scam interview invitation and there fore avoid such waste of time and money. The good thing is that most of their messages come in the same format, so you will know its fake!

1. The message does not bear a company name: most of these scammers won't include their names on the message you will receive. All you will see are the address, the time and date and a phone number. A genuine company will not hide its identity from a potential employee.

2. The message will say "interview/job briefing": whatever job briefing means I don't know!

3. You will see a code or reference: something like "HR=0056" or "REF=002". This is an indication of the code number of the person who invited you to the "job briefing".

4. It will contain a phone number: this is the number of your referer. Most genuine companies don't give phone numbers.

5. You will see HR Admin in the message instead of company name.

6. If you call their number, they will be reluctant to give info on the company.

And pls, ignore those people sharing job flyers on the streets, and those ones they paste on walls. Those are scammers and some ritualists too. And also most of these so called agencies are avenues for duping unsuspecting job seekers. Pls shine your eyes well well.
I will post the names of some of these fake companies/ agencies later.

Pls if you have any experiences inthe hands of these scammers kindly share it here so that others can learn and avoid them too. Thank you

Cheers!

10 Questions to ask yourself before seeking for a job

If you want your job hunt to be successful, then you need to put together a plan that includes your career goals and aspirations. If you aspire to become a successful insurance agent, then you need to create a series of achievable goals that will help to develop your successful career.

The path to your next job starts with a job application, and you need to follow a good plan if you want to submit effective applications. Instead of wasting time filling out applications for jobs you do not want or are not qualified for, you should ask yourself a series of questions before filling out an application to make sure that what you are doing fits your overall career plan.

1.Is this a job I want?

If you are desperate, then you will wind up taking a job you hate and will derail your career plans. You need to determine whether or not you actually want the job before you fill out the application.

2. Does this job fit my plan?

A job does not need to be management level to fit into your overall career aspirations. Even insurance agents start off as clerks, but it is important to choose a job that does fit into the plans you have made for your future.

3.Can I do this job?

While you may really want that job, you have to be honest in determining if you can do the job or not. You may not have the skill set you need at this point in your career to do this job well, which is a good reason not to apply.

4.Does the company offer a career path?

Some companies offer you a career path you can follow to success, while other companies are just stops along the way in your growing career. If you want a company that will give you opportunities to move up as you develop, then it is important to ask if the company you are applying to has career path options.

5.Do I know someone at this company?

Referrals from current employees can help increase your chances of getting the job you want. Before you fill out your application, find out if you know someone who works at the company and ask if you can use them as a referral.

6.What new information can I put on this application?

All of your applications should have the most current information about your career that is available. By including current information on your application, you can show the company that you are remaining active in your field.

7.How do I stand out from other applicants?

Do you have a Master’s degree in a field filled with Bachelor’s-level applicants? If so, then point that out in your application and help your qualifications to stand out from the rest of the field.

8. Do I have any inside information?

In your research, you may have found out that the company is only considering applicants who can relocate to another part of the country. You can include this inside information to make your application customized to the company’s needs.

9. Why am I motivated for this job?

When you fill out your application, highlight your skills and accomplishments that make you uniquely qualified. If you are motivated to get the job, then it will show in the presentation of your credentials.

10. When can I start?

Most applications ask you when you can start the job if you are hired. Be honest and give a realistic time frame, and always indicate that you would have to give some sort of notice at your current job, if you have one.

When you fill out a job application, you are taking the first step in the next phase of your career. Put plenty of thought into that application, and make sure that you are doing the right thing for all of your short and long-term career plans.

Writing a business plan

What is a business plan?

A business plan is a written description of your business's future, a document that tells what you plan to do and how you plan to do it. If you jot down a paragraph on the back of an envelope describing your business strategy, you've written a plan, or at least the germ of a plan.Now that you understand why you need a business plan and you've spent some time doing your homework gathering the information you need to create one, it's time to roll up your sleeves and get everything down on paper. The following pages will describe in detail the seven essential sections of a business plan: what you should include, what you shouldn't include, how to work the numbers and additional resources you can turn to for help. With that in mind, jump right in.

Executive Summary

Within the overall outline of the business plan, the executive summary will follow the title page. The summary should tell the reader what you want. This is very important. All too often, what the business owner desires is buried on page eight. Clearly state what you're asking for in the summary.

Business Description

The business description usually begins with a short description of the industry. When describing the industry, discuss the present outlook as well as future possibilities. You should also provide information on all the various markets within the industry, including any new products or developments that will benefit or adversely affect your business.

Market Strategies

Market strategies are the result of a meticulous market analysis. A market analysis forces the entrepreneur to become familiar with all aspects of the market so that the target market can be defined and the company can be positioned in order to garner its share of sales.

Competitive Analysis

The purpose of the competitive analysis is to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the competitors within your market, strategies that will provide you with a distinct advantage, the barriers that can be developed in order to prevent competition from entering your market, and any weaknesses that can be exploited within the product development cycle.

Design & Development

PlanThe purpose of the design and development plan section is to provide investors with a description of the product's design, chart its development within the context of production, marketing and the company itself, and create a development budget that will enable the company to reach its goals.

Operations & Management

PlanThe operations and management plan is designed to describe just how the business functions on a continuing basis. The operations plan will highlight the logistics of the organization such as the various responsibilities of the management team, the tasks assigned to each division within the company, and capital and expense requirements related to the operations of the business.

Financial Factors

Financial data is always at the back of the business plan, but that doesn't mean it's any less important than up-front material such as the business concept and the management team.

My Hips My Assets--- ebube nwagbo

Background

My name is Ebube Nwagbo; I am an actress and an entrepreneur. I am from Anambra State but I was raised in Warri, Delta State. I am the first child and I have five siblings. I studied Mass Communication at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State.

Acting

I was 20 when I began acting in Nollywood in 2003 and I also began to cater for my family and myself around the same time. A friend invited me to audition for a role and it was my first attempt. Luckily, I clinched the role. In no time, Nollywood became a part of my family because I spent a lot of time with my fellow actors and crew. The journey has so far been smooth, rough, sweet and bitter, but I am thankful to God for where I am today.

Family support

When I began acting, I did not inform my parents because I knew there was no way they would support me. My dad returned home a certain day and said he saw a movie poster of a girl that looked like me, but I feigned ignorance. I was scared to tell him I was the actress in question. I quickly left home before it was released, because I was still unsure of what my parents’ reaction would be when they eventually discover that I was an actress. Thankfully, I played a decent role in the flick and my parents were pleased with me. I did not give them any reason to be angry, upset or disappointed in me. I do not think I have given my family a reason not to be proud of me as an actress. I have made them proud in many ways and they have given me their love and support.

Business

I floated a hair extension line because of my love for beauty. Also, I wanted to invest my money into a business that would flourish. So far, it has been very rewarding and I am proud of how far I have come in the business. We have grown tremendously over the years, beyond my expectation.

Personality

Most people tend to believe that actresses portray their real lives and personalities in the kind of roles they play in movies. But, that is not really the way it is. An actor’s personality in real life is totally different from what they see onscreen. It is just a job and must be done.

Fame

Fame has robbed me of my privacy. If I were not an actress, I would have been a journalist.

Relationship

I have always believed in love and still do believe in love. I don’t know about being lucky or unlucky with love. Love is always a beautiful thing. I am not looking for any particular quality in a man. The important thing is how I feel about him.

Projects

My latest projects are the Nigeria Teens and Twenties Audition. We will be touring 20 states of the federation to search for the next big thing in Africa. I am also filming a new movie at the moment. Also, I recently shot the second movie from my company, PoshWorld Productions. It is entitled Not Enough. I starred in the movie alongside other actors like, Oge Okoye, Alexx Ekubo, Tina Amuziam, and Bassey of the Big Brother Africa fame. It was directed by Afe Olumowe and is currently undergoing post production. It will be hitting the cinemas soon.

Greatest asset

My greatest asset should be my body. My hip is my greatest body asset.

Style

My style is very classic, simple and daring. It has also evolved over the years. I wouldn’t be caught wearing loud colours or a matchy outfit because it is not my style. My favourite fashion accessory is my sunglass and I can’t do without it. I love it because it compliments and completes even the simplest look. I hardly wear make-up, so, my sunglasses serve as a protection of some sort for my face. It also shields my face away from prying eyes. Those are some of the reasons why I consider it to be my favourite accessory.

Things you don't know about Nollywood actress Ebube nwagbo

After going through an article about nollywood actress ebube nwagbo ,I discovered that she never made any mention of her humble beginning as a chorister in warri.

What many didn't know is that she started off as a Gospel Artist even with a full album to go with it. Little wonder from the interview she was scared of lettting her parents in the know after featuring in her first movie!

But today fame and wealth has twisted her God given talent to something else!!

Imagine acclaiming her HIPs to be her greatest asset SMH!!! But each time I listen to her song and seeing what she has become I feel like crying.

As for me her greatest asset is still her VOICE!!!

See a early music video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo2Ff1Lmu1I

Singer,waje finally reveals her beautiful grown up daughter.

Who would have thought the beautiful musician had an already grown up daughter, but both of them looks stunning at Tinsel Charity Ball.

The award winning singer flaunted her weightloss in a glamourous dress by Marvee. She was accompanied by her daughter Emerald.

Body cream killer constituent (Hydroquinone)

There was a recent study done at the University of Capetown that suggests 1 in 3 women in South Africa bleaches her skin. Unconfirmed reports from the Nigerian National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), also suggests that 77% of Nigerian women bleach their skin! There are similar stories in Ghana, Liberia, Senegal etc. All across Africa and even Asia, the habit of skin bleaching is becoming more and more prevalent.

Look around you and the signs are everywhere. You probably know a friend, aunty, sister, neighbour, colleague who is fixated on skin-bleaching.
For women of African descent, the scourge of skin bleaching is made worse because most women (and even men!) use creams made with the potent bleaching agent: Hydroquinone.

Some important facts about Hydroquinone:

1. Hydroquinone works by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which is important in skin pigment (melanin) development. It is important to be aware that Melanin actually provides protection against UV radiation. It is more effective than any sunscreen known to man. It diffuses UV radiation and turns it into harmless heat.

2. Combining Hydroquinone with skin products that contain benzoyl peroxide, hydrogen peroxide, or other peroxides, (found in most acne treatment) is harmful to the skin. This causes temporary staining of the skin. Also hydroquinone should not be used with any of the new resorcinol-based skin lightening treatments such as Clinique dark spot corrector.

3. 4% and above hydroquinone concentration is generally considered by most dermatologists to be one of the most effective skin-lightening and age spot-brightening agents. Overall, it is considered to be a bit safe/less harmful for Caucasians and light-skinned asians BUT not as safe for darker-skinned people (Africans).

DANGERS OF HYDROQUINONE.

1.)It causes pigmentation of the eye and permanent corneal damage.This only occurs when the eye is directly exposed to hydroquinone.

2.)It causes OCHRONOSIS(a skin disorder characterised by progressive sooty darkening of the skin.)

3.)It whitens skin by killing your skins pigment cells.

4.)Its counter productive as it gives u dark knuckles,ankles,purplish vericose veins,a PATCH WORK OF COLOURS ON A ONCE BEAUTIFUL SKIN.
5.)It can cause irritation and contact dermatitis.

6.)Even if you succeed in bleaching the skin whiter with hydroquinone products,it often has an unhealthy,pasty look.Also,once you stop using it,ur skin re darkens.And since using it long term is unhealthy,its a basically a catch-22 situation.

7).If you live in the tropical region, the combination of hydroquinone and the sun is a bad one.Increased risk of ochronosis have been linked to excess sun exposure while using hydroquinone. As such, dermatologists often recommend to always use hydroquinonewitha sunscreen. (Note: In the hot African climate, sometimes, even sunscreens do not offer enough protection for the skin!)

8.)Most products with hydroquinone have an awful smelland cause intense body heat and sweating. Users often try to mask the odour by profuse use of perfumes which seems to make it even worse. There is off-the-shelf hydroquinone-based product(s) that’s so potent that users have to constantly stay in air-conditioned rooms!

9.)It thins out the outer layer of the skin (the epidermis), which is dangerous especially during or post- surgical procedures, as it may take the skin a longer time to heal from cuts, wounds and/or stitches.

10).It ages your skinand as you get older the effects become even more pronounced. It is not a pretty sight to see someone whose skin has been damaged by prolonged years of hydroquinone use! Age gracefully and not with disgrace.

Eliminating body odour;what you need to know

Body odour is an unpleasant smell that is a social embarrassment for many people. It is a major concern for most people today. It is unpleasant, embarrassing and reduces our confidence. A person who has body odour cannot help but be preoccupied with a nagging doubt whenever he or she is in the company of others.

Chemical compounds that causes body odour includes:

• Methanethiol: which smells like garlic and sulphur
• Hydrogen sulphide: which smells like sulphur and rotten eggs
• Dimethyl sulphide: which smells like sulphur, cabbage and sweets
• 3-methyl-2-hexanoic acid: smells like goat
• 3-methyl-3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol: which smells like onion
• 3-hydroxy-3-methylhexanoic acid: which smells like cumin
• Propanoic acid: which have a pungent, rancid and sour smell
• Isovaleric acid: which have a pungent, rancid and fermented smell.

CAUSES OF BODY ODOUR
It is usually caused by a combination of inadequate or incorrect attention to personal hygiene and excessive perspiration from the armpits and groin. Certain types of bacteria that are present on our skin can cause a strong odour in some people who perspire heavily.

The endocrine glands, also known as sweat glands, are located on almost every part of the body, produce body-cooling sweat that's mostly water. The number of sweat glands in a person's body can vary from around 2 million to more than 4 million. It is nature's little air conditioning system.

Similarly, the apocrine glands, which are located in the armpits and in the groin (among other areas), produce sweat that performs a number of functions, such as secretion of pheromones or mate attracting hormones, waste removal system that offloads microscopic bits of fat and other matter. The bacteria break down sweat into aromatic fatty acids, which produce the unpleasant odour. Medical conditions, such as thyroid disease and carcinoid syndrome, can also cause excessive sweating, as can the side-effects of some medicines such as anti-depressants.

HOW IT CAN BE CONTROLLED

Many products, concoctions and remedies are offered in the market to try and solve the body odour problem. Some simply mask the odour while others, such as antiperspirants, try to get at the root cause of the problem, by blocking the skin pores that secrete sweat. This stops the odour but makes you feel dry. However, this method defeats your body’s natural cooling and toxin removal mechanism and it may cause some discomfort or even allergies.

The body odour can be tackled by:

• Reducing the amount of sweat and/or
• Treating the bacteria that produces the odour
To keep body odour at bay, cleanse your body externally as well as internally through bathing and washing the body as well as through balanced diet and opting for a healthy lifestyle.

External body cleansing

• It is very important to bathe on a daily basis especially in a warm, dusty and humid countries. It is advisable to take a second shower before going to bed. Use a mild soap for bathing. Unscented homeopathic soaps are the best. Avoid using deodorant soaps, since they are not only harsh to the skin but they also encourage the growth of resistant bacteria. Use a sponge to thoroughly scrub bacteria away from your body.

• Baking soda is an effective, natural and economical deodorant. Rub a good amount in your armpits after you towel yourself dry. If you want to add some scent, mix some baby powder. If you want to feel extra dry, you can also add some corn starch.

• Slice a potato and clean your armpits using it. After drying your underarms, apply talcum powder on them.

• Apply lemon juice on your underarms after you get out of the shower.

• Apple Cider Vinegar can be applied directly onto the armpits to prevent excessive sweating.

• Take 2 teaspoons of vinegar and 2 teaspoons of honey on an empty stomach 3 times a day till the foul body odour disappears.

Internal body cleansing

• Water is a good cleansing agent; it helps to flush out unwanted toxins from our bodies and keeps body temperatures down to manageable levels. Start your day with a glass or two of fresh clean water. Strive to drink the usual norm of twelve glasses a day.

• Drinking tomato juice is an effective cure for excessive sweating. Drinking a glass of tomato juice daily early in the morning for one week should yield good results. After the first week is over, continue drinking the tomato juice every other day and then only as needed.

Let us look at some Dos and Don'ts in managing body odour

• Wear natural fabrics, such as cotton, which are absorbent and allow the sweat to be drawn away from your skin and allow your skin to breathe. Wear cotton clothes and no undergarments, particularly while sleeping. This particularly improves the quality of sleep.

• There are some foods that can contribute to body odours. Strive for a diet that is more alkaline than acidic. Reduce meats, fats, alcohol, spices, sugar intake and eat more fibre rich foods, especially fruits and vegetables. Hot foods like red peppers can make you moist. Avoid garlic and onions. The sulphur compounds in garlic and onions can
• make your sweat more aromatic than it would be otherwise, especially if you consume them in large quantities. The same goes for pungent spices.

• Daily elimination helps your body to remove harmful waste substances that will make you sick and cause undesirable body odour.

• Anger, anxiety and excitement increase sweat production. Consider learning and practicing techniques like meditation and visualization that can help you keep your cool under stressful circumstances.

• Smoking can make you smell bad. When you inhale, smoke enters your lungs and works its way through your system. Tobacco smoke contains over 7,000 chemicals and chemical compounds. Some are destroying your insides, while others are eventually expelled through your skin. When you quit smoking, your body
• smells better and you'll live longer, for sure.

Medical management of body odour

• Get an antibacterial and antiseptic solution called chlorhexidine (confirm) 0.05% from pharmacies. When applied daily, it significantly reduces the number of bacteria, although it has no effect on sweating itself.

• Get 20% aluminium chloride solution from medical store and apply it to your armpits, feet etc. before going to bed each night. This is because sweating stops when you sleep, so the solution will be more effective. The liquid gets into the openings of the sweat glands causing them to swell up and block. Wash it off in the morning and reapply again at bedtime. Use the product every night to start with and then gradually reduce it as you stop sweating to every other night or once or twice a week.

Surgical management of body odour

To summarise, let us look at some surgical means of managing body odour. There are a couple of surgical options for severe sweating (hyperhidrosis) which can't be controlled medically. Beware of the after-effects of surgery before deciding upon it as these surgeries cannot be reversed.

• Liposuction and removal of the skin armpit: In this process, small piece of skin in the apex of the armpit, measuring 4 cm by 1.5 cm is cut out, destroying the most troublesome sweat glands. A modern variation on this procedure is liposuction to suck out the sweat glands from the deeper layers of skin.

• Trans-thoracic Sympathectomy: This surgery is done under general anaesthetic and uses keyhole surgery to destroy the nerves that control sweating. The surgeon makes an incision in your armpit and passes an electrical current to kill off the nerves. The success rate is about 40 per cent but because the body still has to sweat, some people experience increased sweating from their chest, abdomen and back after the operation.

• Botox: Botox is only licensed as a treatment for excessive sweating from the armpit (axillary hyperhidrosis), so it can't be used for sweaty hands and feet. A small amount of the toxin is injected into multiple sites in the skin at the apex of the armpit. Although the results only last between four and nine months, it's an effective and safe treatment.

Reasons why your prayers are not answered

Happy sunday brethren. You might be praying to God for something very essential, might be a job, admission, finances, marriage, fruit of the womb but you dont receive speedily answers and at times you pray for years and it still doesnt work out. Relax there are skeletons in the cupboard you need to fish out that is witholding answers to your prayers. Listen attentively.
Your Life Of Sin - yeah its your life of sin that is witholding your prayer request and God does not hear. You might still be living in sexual immorality, lies, jealousy, covetousness, gossip etc. And you go and kneel down and pray but sorry the prayer cant pass the ceiling.
Isaiah 1 vs 15 -When you spread your hands, I will hide my eyes from you, and when you make many prayers i will not hear because your hands are full of blood. And also in John 9 v 31 says that God hears not sinners but if any man be a worshipper of God and does His will, God hears. So its your sin that seperate God from you so He wont hear your prayers.

Lack of Patience - the Lord Jesus told us to keep on praying and not faint.(luke 18 vs1) this is another reason why people dont receive answers. God's timetable is not like man's own, He needs you to be patient and not rushing Him up. So be patient always whenever you ask God of a request.

Selfish Lust Desires - in the book of james chapter 4 vs 3 says that you pray and ask but you do not recieve because you ask amiss so that you may consume it upon your lust, oh well you ask God of big things that you schedule so that as soon as you receive it, you use it to flex around with the desires of the flesh. God knows your heart and wont give it to you till you repent.

Not Abiding With The Lord - yeah the word of God says in John 15 vs 7- if you abide in me and My words abide in you, you will ask what you want and it shall be done to you.
Have you been praying to God and ask Him of something important? Always abide by praying continually and going to church, study His Word, obey His commandments and praise Him daily and abide continually and you will receive answers to your prayers.

Lack Of Faith and Forgiveness - in mark 11 vs 22 the Lord taught us to have faith in God for whatever you desire when you pray, believe that you receive them shall have them and also forgive so that God may forgive and answer.
These are the reasons you dont receive answers. And you keep on praying but no hope. Obey this steps and receive final answers to your prayers.
Happy sunday
