We use our smartphones for many things in our professional and private lives. Therefore, we should try to ensure they last as long as possible. Many take precautions like installing anti-virus software and closing background apps, but are these steps really necessary? Here are five things you’re doing wrong with your Android device. 1. Using task killers or manually closing applications Many of us use task killers or close applications manually from the recent apps menu. But without realizing it that could be harming the performance of our device. When we first open an app, part of its data is becomes stored in the RAM. This means that when you open the app a second time, it will load faster because of the existence of this previously cached data. If you remove the app from the recent apps menu, or delete the cache, the data stored in the RAM is lost also. If you then wish to reopen it you have to start this process again. Only close applications if you mus

Patrick Obahiagbon is a name we started hearing when he began to represent Oredo Federal Constituency of Edo state at the House of Representatives in 2007. The catch was that he spoke jaw-breaking words, like literally jaw breaking. Words that you probably won’t be able to pronounce when hungry. When he was interviewed by Vanguard, the law graduate of Politician appealed to his audience to try to understand what he speaks and in his own words “ The intention is not to deliberately befuddle or obfuscate them. I do not set out to deposit my audience in a portmanteau of indecipherability ” Which in layman English simply means that he doesn’t mean to confuse us intentionally smh . But now we ask, if it’s not intentional, what is it Honorable? We explained a few times Honorable Obahiagbon spoke to us in layman English because life is really too short to look for a dictionary when this man speaks. 1. When he spoke about the death of former ASUU President “The grand

Pep Guardiola’s successor Carlo Ancelotti says he has changed little at Bayern Munich as the defending German champions drubbed Werder Bremen 6-0 on Friday to kick off the new season. The Italian is clearly a fan of the adage ‘never change a winning team’ after Guardiola led Bayern to the German league and cup double on his swansong last season. Under Guardiola, now head coach at Manchester City, and his predecessor Jupp Heynckes, Bayern won the last four Bundesliga titles in a row, a record in Germany’s top flight. Ancelotti says he made few changes to Guardiola’s set up as Robert Lewandowski netted a hat-trick and Bayern enjoyed 70 percent possession at Munich’s Allianz Arena. “I changed very little as this is a very strong team, maybe we just need to play forward a little more,” Ancelotti told German broadcaster ARD. “I am very happy. That was a very good performance from my team. “We got off to a good start and took control of the game early on. “We played well o

Embattled former Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations, Abdulmumin Jibrin, on Friday accused some senior lawmakers in the House of living large by appropriating illegal allowances to themselves at the expense of Nigerian taxpayers. The lawmakers, who currently serve in different capacities as principal officers of the House, have allegedly shared more than N10 billion amongst themselves as "office running cost," a subhead legislators have used for years to corner illegal allowances to themselves. Nigerians have complained about these illegal allowances for years but this is the first time in Nigeria's history that a serving lawmaker would open up on the sharp practices. Mr. Jibrin disclosed the details in an email to Premium Times Friday night as part of the unfolding budget padding scandal he triggered more than a month ago. The 10 principal officers and the funds they have allegedly received so far as running costs included th

The 22-year-old National Diploma, ND, student of the Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, Ondo State, Oweniwe Chukwudi, who murdered his girlfriend, has denied killing her for ritual purpose, but for the fun of it. He said: "I did not remove any part of her body; I only killed her for the fun of it. I made love with her in the bush before killing her. I am not a cultist. It was when I killed her that I realised I made a big mistake and I wept bitterly" Speaking after his arrest by police detectives in Ondo State, Oweniwe, whose parents are cassava farmers in Ogbese area of the state, said he was pushed by the devil. Chukwudi and the girlfriend, Adeyeye Nifemi, were both in 300 level in the Science Laboratory Technology, SLT, department. Vanguard gathered that the suspect tricked the girlfriend to Ayede Ogbese, about 10 to 15 kilometres away from campus, where he carried out the act. He left her in the bush, thinking she was dead, only to return the next day to find her a

Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho, has warned Bastian Schweinsteiger that he would rather play youngsters than allow him feature for the club again. Mourinho has banished the German midfielder from the first team, but Schweinsteiger is adamant he will not join another club in Europe. His stance has made it almost impossible for United to offload the 31-year-old and Mourinho is not ready to reconsider his own position. “I have 23 players in the squad and in principle nobody is leaving, because I don’t want anyone to leave,” Mourinho said. “No-one is coming and 23 players is more than enough. If we have any kind of problem or any kind opportunity, I have a few young players in the academy that I will be more than happy to give an acceleration in that process and to bring them up now and again.” Asked if Schweinsteiger could play for United again, the Portuguese said: “I think it’s very difficult to happen. I’m not saying it’s impossible, I’m saying its very difficult be

It is said that we are a product of our environment and when we are young, lasting impressions are burned into our minds about what love is, how the world works and what we ought to do when we are older. As if settling down, getting married and having children is the benchmark for success. But who is really to say what happiness is and what it looks like? Maybe some of us are perfectly happy, just being alone… 1. Dogmas and social conditioning don’t phase you You have navigated the emotional concourse of societal expectation and found that it just doesn’t resonate with you. Instead you listen to your heart and follow your inner voice, wherever it might lead. 2. You screen your phone calls. If you find yourself waiting to respond to text messages and emails after they light up on your screen, this is a sure-fire sign that you prefer your privacy. Setting your own boundaries for what you allow into your personal zone and when. 3. You aren’t desperate to make plans on t

West Ham failed to reach the Europa League group stage as Astra Giurgiu condemned the Hammers to a first competitive loss at the London Stadium. After a 1-1 away draw last week, West Ham trailed when Filipe Teixeira precisely finished a swift counter-attack by the Romanian champions. The Hammers improved after the break, with Jonathan Calleri and Winston Reid bundling their best chances wide. Ashley Fletcher also went close, but West Ham could not force extra time. It is the second successive season that Astra, who have only won once in five league games this season, have knocked the Hammers out of the Europa League qualifying round. The home fans quickly left the Premier League club’s new 60,000-seater stadium within seconds of the full-time whistle, although the small pocket of Romanian fans remained to celebrate with their jubilant players. “The disappointment is massive,” said West Ham manager Slaven Bilic. “We didn’t play good in the first half or with desire as

Police in Brazil have charged US swimmer Ryan Lochte with making a false statement about being robbed at gunpoint during the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The police statement also recommends that the court issues a summons for the gold medal winner. The US State Department said it was aware of the request. Lochte flew out of Brazil after the Games before he could be questioned about the alleged false claim. He initially claimed that he and three fellow swimmers were robbed at gunpoint in a taxi by men with a police badge as they returned to the Olympic village from a party. But the police say he made up the story and officers produced video evidence that the group were actually challenged by security guards after they’d vandalised a petrol station toilet. The swimmer has admitted he was drunk and apologised, but he now has to decide whether or not to return to Brazil to defend the charges. The crime faces a maximum penalty of 18 months in prison and the 32-year-old ca

Four World Bank officials had been reportedly drowned at Egbe Dam in Egbe Ekiti, Gbonyin Local Government Area of Ekiti State, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports. Egbe Dam is the biggest of the six dams in the state. Mrs Folasade Akinrinmola, the chairman of the council and the state police command confirmed this development to newsmen on Thursday. Akinrinmola said that the incident which occurred on Wednesday’s night involved a team of seven contractors employed by the World Bank on an assessment mission to the dam. She said that the team had commenced work on Tuesday night from a section of the dam and moving to the other section when the incident happened on Wednesday. She said that traditional ruler of Egbe notified her of the incident. “We immediately mobilised a rescue team and an ambulance, and in the process, those wearing life jackets were rescued. “The rescued people were the ones who told us that others were in the water. The bodies of those that had

Kenyan athletes are stranded in a Rio shanty town where gun shots can be heard following the closure of the Olympic village, the team captain says. Officials delayed their return home as they looked for a “cheap flight”, said Wesley Korir, a marathon runner who is also an opposition MP. He posted images on Twitter of dilapidated buildings in the area where he said they were forced to stay. Team Kenya has been dogged by allegations of mismanagement at Rio. Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta has ordered an investigation into the mismanagement of the team. Athletes had experienced “hell”, and he would demand action when he returned home, Korir said. The team won 13 medals, the highest by an African country, and this “is how they threat us”, he added. The men’s marathon team is among the athletes stuck in the shanty town, except for gold medallist Eliud Kipchoge who bought his own ticket to leave, Korir said. Athletes were ordered to stay indoors as gun shots were heard

The former head of European football, Michel Platini, arrived at the world’s top sports court on Thursday to testify at Sepp Blatter’s last-chance appeal against his FIFA ban. “I came to tell the truth, for the umpteenth time,” Platini told reporters outside the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne, Switzerland. The former French international is the key figure in the scandal that brought down Blatter, which has been the subject of extensive debate, including in FIFA’s ethics committee. Platini was on the receiving end of the suspect 2 million Swiss franc ($2 million, 1.8 million euros) payment that Blatter authorised in 2011. FIFA has said the payment amounted to an ethics violation and has suspended both men for six years. Blatter and Platini insist it was a legitimate payment for an unpaid balance that FIFA owed the UEFA boss for consulting work done a decade earlier. Platini lost his CAS appeal against his own FIFA ban earlier this year, at which Blatt

Ripon Sarker from Thakurgaon, Bangladesh suffers from the condition epidermodysplasia verruciformis, which causes abnormal susceptibility to human papillomavirus – causing the growth of scaly warts. The young boy was admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital on August 20 for treatment for the first time, as his family couldn’t afford it. His father Mahendra Das said: ‘They haven’t carried out tests on him. Physicians say they will look into this matter before treatment.’ Poor Ripon cannot walk or eat by himself because of his tree-like hands and feet. Thankfully, doctors have said they are hopeful that his hands and feet are operable as his fingers and toes and can still be identified. Ripon’s symptoms match the ones of 26-year-old Abul Bajandar – dubbed ‘tree man’, who also has the same condition and was recently operated at the Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Ripon is a class II student of Ketgaon Government Primary School, was affected when he was only three

A top Chieftain of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), in Lagos State, Ganiyu Quadri, has reiterated that his party is doing everything possible to place the agro-business scheme run by the State government in Kebbi State on a high end, so that the cost of rice will drop to a mere N9,000 by December, from the present price of between N18,500 and N20,000. Quadri, who is the Chairman of Alimosho Local Government Area in the state, made this bold declaration while receiving a delegation of Rotary Club of Akowonjo 9110, led by its District-Governor, Patrick Ikheloa, and President, Shola Abidakun, stressing that the APC administration in Lagos swung into agro-business to ensure food security for its people. “By the end of this year, or first quarter next year, things will change in Lagos. Already, we are into agro-business in Kebbi State. We have massive land on which we planted grains, among which is rice, our people’s staple food. And it is expected that the truckloads of

The Police in Lagos on Wednesday paraded a notorious cult member who confessed to have killed two persons since becoming a cultist in 2009. “I have been to prison twice and I have killed two persons whom I stabbed to death with other members of my gang. “I regret getting involved in cultism and I feel bad because I have signed an undertaken to quit but I was arrested while chasing a thief who stole a motorcycle,’’ he said.

Items recovered from the hoodlums were one Bereta automatic pistol, four motorcycles, two locally-made pistols, four life cartrid
