The device also supports intelligent night charging and works with industry-standard protocols like USB Power Delivery 3.0.

Besides lightning-fast charging speeds, the NOTE 30 series has significantly improved its photography and video capabilities, powerful processors, super signal technology, the latest Android operating system, and large storage. Infinix also obtained a Hi-Res professional certification and partnered with JBL to provide a remarkable audio experience for the device.

The NOTE 30 series also supports wireless charging, making charging your devices in the car, office, or at your bedside easy and convenient. The Note 30 series comprises multiple models: the Note 30, Note 30 Pro, Note 30 5G, and Note 30 VIP.

With a starting price of N120,900, you can purchase any of the NOTE 30 series at authorized Infinix retail outlets across Nigeria, and if you can’t afford to pay for the device at once, with 0% interest and a 30% down payment, you can get the device with Easybuy.

Infinix also announced the upcoming release of the Infinix Smart watch at the event.

The Nigerian market should prepare to be spellbound as the NOTE 30 Series will command attention and set a new standard in the market, not with its outstanding features, stunning designs, and cutting-edge technology.

Folktales are an integral part of African cultural heritage, passed down from generation to generation, carrying with them the wisdom, values, and beliefs of our ancestors. African folktales have been used to teach life skills, social etiquette, and moral lessons for centuries. However, the current scarcity of these tales raises the question, where have all the folktales gone?

African folktales were once a popular form of entertainment and education. These tales were passed down from generation to generation and were used to teach life skills, social etiquette, and moral lessons for centuries. Some of the popular folktales included Anansi the Spider, The Lion and the Mouse, and The Tortoise and the Hare.

The origin of these folktales can be traced back to the early days of various African tribes. The stories were usually told in the evening, around the fire, and were passed down orally from one generation to the next. The stories were considered sacred and were used to teach important life lessons, morals, and values.

Despite the importance of these folktales, many of them have not been preserved. The lack of preservation can be attributed to several factors, including the influence of Western culture, the rise of modern entertainment, and the lack of interest in preserving traditional African culture.

Similarly, the rise of modern entertainment, such as movies and television, has contributed to the decline of African folktales. Oddly, a lot of modern entertainment feature references to myths and folktales of various other cultures, but not African ones which appear to lack a platform.

The lack of interest in preserving traditional African culture has also contributed to the scarcity of folktales. Many African governments have not prioritized the preservation of traditional culture, including the preservation of folktales. This has resulted in the loss of many important stories that would have otherwise been passed down to future generations.

In Nigeria, we had tales by moonlight. A Television show which featured episodes based on Nigerian folktales. Tales by Moonlight no longer exists. Even worse, no effort has been made to preserve the old episodes so that future generations can watch and benefit from them.

The scarcity of African folktales is a cause for concern. These tales are an essential part of African cultural heritage and should be preserved. It is essential that we take the necessary steps to preserve these tales and ensure that they are passed down to future generations.

Oriire is a platform for anyone who is interested in learning about Africa and celebrating its cultural heritage. Using articles, publications, videos, and podcasts, Oriire works to preserve African mythology and folktales and make them accessible and easy to reference. In doing this, Oriire also acknowledges that Africa is rich and varied and do our best to ensure each individual tribe, culture and language is highlighted.

MUSE Design Awards 2023 Gold Winner TECNO CAMON 20 Series

The upcoming CAMON 20 Series from innovative technology brand TECNO recently picked up the prestigious MUSE Design Awards 2023 as a gold winner in the Product Design of Telecommunications category.

TECNO’s CAMON 20 Series, known for its groundbreaking stylish design, was again unanimously praised by the judges of MUSE Design Awards 2023 thanks to its industry-first CAMON PUZZLE deconstructionist design. This win further illustrates TECNO’s strength in product design as the company gains recognition from well-established international authorities.

The award-winning device is set for launch on May 9th this year.

Held by the International Awards Association (IAA), the MUSE Design Awards is one of the most influential international awards in global design, known for its rigorous judging system and high-quality criteria. The awards focus on exploring artistic beauty and design innovation, aiming to foster “design muses” and promote global innovation and design excellence. This year’s MUSE Design Awards received over 6,300 entries from countries worldwide and were judged by a jury panel composed of 51 expert judges from creative and design-led disciplines across the globe.

“The industries have gone through significant changes throughout the years, yet to have these entrants showcase their ability to adapt and overcome is certainly surprising and encouraging to our team in IAA,” said IAA spokesman Thomas Brandt, “We celebrate good design in all its forms, and TECNO CAMON 20 Series caught our eye with its outstanding attention to detail, superb craftsmanship, and innovative design qualities, making it a worthy winner of our Gold Award.”

Inspired by the deconstructivist genre of postmodern architecture, TECNO fuses the aesthetic concepts of international fashion brands and pioneering designers to create the unique CAMON PUZZLE design. TECNO tries for the first time to engrave 20 irregular ribs in a three-dimensional luxury lychee-pattern back cover material of Magic Skin. At the same time, sapphire-grade nanocrystalline ceramic is integrated into constructing the device’s back cover. The combination of advanced materials and bold design philosophy challenges traditional smartphone design language and allows CAMON 20 users to make a stylish statement.

Of course, the focus is not only on aesthetics but on the user experience, too. The newest material of Magic Skin applied to CAMON 20 Series brings out the best deconstructionist design, creating incredible comfort with a natural tactile texture that doesn’t attract fingerprints. With a unique appearance and high-quality materials, CAMON 20 series brings industry design standards into a new era by winning high praise from the MUSE jury and highlighting TECNO’s position as a smartphone-design pioneer.

Succeeding in education is something everyone wants. Parents want their children to be happy and successful, and kids want to make their parents proud. However, high school and even college time can turn out to be quite challenging at times. They can really pose some obstacles to students.

However, a mother’s love is essential in these times. It can change a child, it can come with inspiration, and more importantly, motivation. Loving mothers can support their children tremendously, especially during school time. The power of a mother is incomparable, especially when it can help students understand the value of failures too, not only of success. So, if you are a mother and you want to help your kids succeed, you can do some things to ensure this happens. You can guide your children during the stormy moments of school and inspire them to go beyond their limits and go out of their comfort zone. Here are a few things you could do.

Establish a Routine

One of the most essential things to do as a mother who wants to help their kids succeed is to help them establish a routine. This is crucial so that you make sure kids will complete their homework and have their study time, which is important when they are students. It also helps them develop healthy and effective study habits, but also manage their time efficiently so that they are productive. This can be done by setting a schedule and being consistent in following it.

No matter whether your kids are in high school or college, they need a structure to follow to make sure they complete all their homework. And it is also essential to know that when this happens, there is a nursing essay writing service that can help them overcome challenges with their essays. You can order your essay from Edubirdie and nursing essay writers will help you create a structure for it, research it, and even write it. Also, it is crucial to be flexible when establishing a routine. A lot of things could happen, but also the first version might not be the right one for your kids. So, just be open to adjusting and changing it depending on their needs, behaviors, and expectations. Always include breaks, as they are necessary for productivity and also meditation. Help your kids prioritize tasks depending on their importance and urgency. As soon as you do this with your kids, they will learn to organize their tasks later.

Encourage a Love for Learning

Another crucial thing you can do as a mother who wants to support their children in achieving success in school is to encourage a love for learning. It may sound complicated, but there are a few things you could do. For example, you could make learning enjoyable by finding creative ways to engage your child’s curiosity and imagination. You can use games, experiments, puzzles, or even role-playing to make learning more fun.

You can also support their learning by supporting the knowledge they are already acquiring in school. If they are learning about plants or animals now, you can take them on a field trip in the forest to see the plants in real life. Kids are like sponges and they learn a lot by doing things practically, so you can apply this easily. Another way you could encourage learning is by being a role model. You are the primary attachment figure in their life so you are like a model to them. Encourage them to explore their own interests by doing this on your own. They will be inspired by you and this fuels them with motivation.

Provide Support

It is essential to provide support to your kids whenever they ask for it. It is crucial to encourage them to be autonomous and try to organize their lessons and study time however they feel like it. However, if they need support with lessons, study, organizing time, or making projects, you should be there for them. And it is not about doing the projects or homework for them. It is about offering your emotional support and constructive feedback when they are struggling. They should see all the setbacks as opportunities to develop themselves, not as reasons to give up.

Conclusion

As a mother, you love your kids deeply and you want to see them happy and succeeding. However, during their school or college years, they might encounter drawbacks and obstacles. Which is completely normal. You can help them by supporting them in establishing a routine, encouraging a love for learning, and providing support whenever they need it.

Nigeria is the leading source of international students in Africa. More than 12,000 of her students are enrolled in the UK, and over 89 percent aspire to study abroad.

But while this number keeps growing year after year, many can’t pursue their study abroad dreams because of restrictions on international transactions.

Besides the restrictions, inflation is also ravaging the country’s economy. These put together, made business dealings challenging, including paying for services like school fees abroad.

This was the case when Sunday Paul Adah, CEO of Pay4Me, visited Nigeria in 2020. During his visit, a friend contacted him to help them pay their tuition abroad. According to the friend, paying school fees abroad from Nigeria was a hassle because CBN has placed a cap on foreign currencies.

Paul facilitated the payment for his friend, but more people reached him with similar payment problems. This made him realize there was a potential market for cross-border payments in Nigeria.

Realizing this market and trying to tackle the payment hurdle for international students, Paul built the Pay4Me App.

The Pay4Me App, launched in 2021, is a payment platform that helps international students make cross-border and travel-related payments. The platform allows students to pay for WES, SEVIS, tuition, application, and visa fees.

Contrary to the regular Nigerian payment apps, Pay4Me is different and offers unique offerings to its users. On the platform, students can process their tuition, application, visa, and other fees in less than 10mins — in their local currency. They are not required to source or pay in foreign currency because Pay4Me handles that for them.

Additionally, students can access funding opportunities via the platform to support their education abroad. They can also receive allowances from their sponsors via the app.

Paul Sunday noted that the Pay4Me App is a one-stop solution for international students to process payments to foreign universities, colleges, and agencies. In his words:

“Pay4Me is safe, transparent, and fast for making payments abroad. When you initiate transactions on our app, we process them immediately without putting you through any paperwork.”

To use the Pay4Me App, students should go to the App store or Play Store, download the application, and sign up with their email addresses.

Afterward, they can log in, select a payment option (like SEVIS, WES, or tuition), input payment instructions, and pay in their local currency. Alternatively, students can pay with a bank transfer or cryptocurrency. Pay4Me will process payment transactions in less than 10mins.

Loan collection companies have been known to go to great lengths to find debtors out of concern that they will flee with their money. We thought it was true when we saw memes about alleged PalmPay officials harassing ‘debtors’ and disguising themselves to get a hold of them. But how true are these things really?

It would be an understatement to say that the memes and skits gaining virality have been unhelpful for the brand. For a brand that came through for many of us during the cash crunch, I knew I had to do my own findings to separate reality from fake news.

It’s not surprising that most people just laugh at the viral memes scattered on several social media pages. Some even go on to share it with others, but at some point, there were those who come away with the belief that these things are actually true. The virality of the content even makes it harder to ignore because, let’s face it, who among us hasn’t found themselves being late on a loan in a spot of sapa before? But the thing is, it has really painted a false picture of PalmPay in the minds of people.

Just recently, the company took to their social media pages to address the viral defamatory memes, stating clearly that the alleged PalmPay agents depicted are just skit makers and not affiliated with their company. They also called for whoever claims to have gone through such harassment by any of their officials to speak out; it remains to be seen if anyone will, because none has come for now.

As someone who has sampled different loan apps (don’t ask me why I’m sampling loan apps because this country is hard), PalmPay is one of the best payment apps out there, offering seamless account creation and transfers while aggregating services from many different providers. Millions of people like me have enjoyed the benefits of PalmPay services, including the overdraft service from Flexi.

Aside from access to quick loans through Flexi, PalmPay also has super-fast and free bank transfers. And I’ve been enjoying the cashback rewards. So, of course, I pay all the bills I can on the app because who doesn’t like good things? Plus, they run interesting promotions to reward customers, and details about it are regularly published on their social media platforms.

In my quest to know the truth, I dug deep and I can tell you from my findings that Flexi agents do not harass people or contact their family and friends to chase them for loan repayments. As a matter of fact, the financial company adheres strictly to data policies and has been audited and certified by the NDPR (Nigeria Data Protection Regulation).

The Flexi team confirmed that they only contact three (3) numbers which users provide when signing up on the loan and as part of their agreement policies. It is not in accordance with their practices to share or publish user information, especially in the defamatory way we’ve heard some loan apps do in recent times. Neither do their officials physically harass or arrest customers to pay up their debts.

I also saw a recent publication from PalmPay on this issue stating that it is a reputable digital payment solution app with deposits insured by the NDIC and a full CBN Mobile Money Operator license, simplifying financial processes. This is far from the unverified claims and viral memes circulating with false claims about the brand and they want users to know the truth.
