World markets dive as Trump sparks trade, North Korea worries

Global stocks sank Wednesday after US President Donald Trump said he was not satisfied with talks that are aimed at averting a trade war with China. Equities were also dented by poor eurozone economic data, and as Trump cast doubt on a planned summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “Trump (is) continuing to drive uncertainty over global trade,” said analyst Joshua Mahony at trading firm IG. “European markets are following their Asian counterparts lower, as a pessimistic tone from Trump is compounded by downbeat economic data,” he added. Markets had surged Monday after US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He said they had agreed to pull back from imposing threatened tariffs on billions of dollars of goods, and continue talks on a variety of trade issues. However, Trump has declared that he was “not satisfied” with the status of the talks, fuelling worries that the world’s top two economies could still slug out an economically pain...

Learn How to Get More traffic on sites.

 More traffic!!" That's the number one metric that content marketers want to see. They drool over it, obsess over it, rave over it, and pursue it with single-minded determination. I'm skeptical of the more traffic approach. We've reached the tipping point of clickbait articles and "blow your mind!" titles. Some things are more important than traffic. (Revenue, for example.) And some articles are more appropriate if they are not clickbait. I would argue that you should create articles that will attract intelligent and thoughtful readers. This isn't elitist. What I'm proposing is that you cultivate a readership who is interested in your topics, and therefore your product or services. Since the goal of marketing is to engage the right audience, then you want an audience that will listen to your message and respond to your articles. The way to accomplish this is by creating articles that will provide you with an engaged and targeted readership...

See The List Of Samsung Phones That'll Get Android 8.0 Update.

Android 8.0 Oreo was announced in August 2017. Since then, many smartphone manufacturers have confirmed which devices that will receive the Oreo Update. Companies like OnePlus and Nokia have started to actually roll out the update. I also got information that the Infinix Note 4 has also received an update to Oreo Although South Korean Giant, Samsung is yet to confirm which devices will receive the Oreo update, recently a couple of XML resources with details of the hardware of several Samsung smartphones just surfaced online. The XML file shared some details regarding which Galaxy devices are about to receive the Android Oreo Update. The XML files are named after the codenames of Samsung Galaxy Devices and they  are expected to be tested for Android Oreo Update. Well, it’s worth to note that these XML files are not a solid proof that these Galaxy devices will receive the Android Oreo update. So, I'd suggest you take this with a pinch of Salt. Samsung Smartphones which might get Andr...

Lagos PDP Kicks Against Yoruba Language Preservation And Promotion Law 2018.

By Dapo Akinrefon Lagos  — THE Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State has kicked against the enforcement of the Yoruba language preservation and promotion law 2018, calling on Governor Akinwumi Ambode to suspend the law. Lagos State PDP members In a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Mr Taofik Gani, the party argued that the bill recently signed into law by the Governor was an early misapplication and revenue coloration in bad faith. The party stated that the lack of due considerations by the Lagos House of Assembly “in making and passing the bill gives one strong doubts on the competence of the house to deliver flawless legislation.” It accused the state government of hastily directing all its tertiary institutions and other schools to demand credit pass in Yoruba language before any applicant could be qualified for admission. “To the PDP, this is a clear indication that the law is more interested in revenue, thus tainted and in bad faith,” the party stated. According ...

DJ Cuppy: "Davido Uses His Father's Influence As An Advantage But I Don't".

Daughter of Nigerian billionaire Dj Cuppy, In a chat with E-Daily has revealed that she doesn't exploit her father’s influence to get things done like Davido does. The daughter of Femi Otedola said though she is the daughter of an oil magnate, her dad’s name rarely opens all doors for her. Her words: “People have to understand that just because I was born into my family does not mean that it opens all doors, that is everyone’s outside perspective. My inside perspective is just being someone’s child; how can being someone’s child be used against you? . I can walk into a room and before I even open my mouth, everyone has decided, and it’s like you are not giving a young woman a chance to even prove herself.” . She added that unlike Davido, she is not the type who would exploit her father’s influence to get things done. “The only difference between Davido and I is that he decided to use the influence as an advantage from an early stage. .

I warned them not to strike matches yet because the gas is much in the kitchen, at that moment a message came into my phone which was on vibration and the next I heard was was the explosion which threw all of us in different direction with diff...

Valentine: "Fornication, Witchcraft Are Twin Sisters, Virginity Is The New Cool".

A female lawyer and social media influencer has shared her opinion on fornication and witchcraft which she said are alike. The young lady said this ahead of Valentine's day (February 14) . According to Chukwuba Chiluba, when one fornicates, he or she looses spiritual power because fornication is an act which provokes God to anger. Below is what she shared on Facebook; Fornication and witchcraft are twin sisters. In witches coven, fornication is a free for all activity. They deliberately engage in it to provoke God to anger. One way you can easily recognize a witch or wizard is their lose and seductive nature. Another evil of fornication is the loss of power or vision. If you fornicate, you can easily loose spiritual power. If you are a fornicator, Satan will give you something else- an idol to take the place of God in your life. It is impossible for the one who is living in fornication to serve God. Every fornicator is either into witchcraft, or is a victim of witchcraft. These he...

Conte thanks Chelsea fans as Hazard double eases pressure.

Antonio Conte thanked the Chelsea fans for their loyal support as Eden Hazard’s double eased the pressure on the Italian with a 3-0 win over rock bottom West Brom on Monday. Three-goal thrashings at the hands of Bournemouth and Watford saw odds slashed on Conte becoming the latest Chelsea boss to be dismissed just nine months on from winning the Premier League.

Zidane fighting for future in PSG Champions League tie.

Zinedine Zidane inspired France to World Cup glory as a player, but his extraordinary career has to a large degree been defined by the Champions League. His magnificent volleyed goal for Real Madrid in their 2002 win over Bayer Leverkusen at Hampden Park in Glasgow is one of the greatest to be scored in a European Cup final. As such, it is up there with his brace in France’s 1998 win over Brazil, his country’s Euro 2000 triumph and the infamous headbutt on Marco Materazzi during the 2006 World Cup final among the most memorable moments of his playing days. He has carried on his love affair with the Champions League as a coach, from his role as assistant to Carlo Ancelotti in Real’s 2014 triumph to leading Madrid to glory himself in the last two seasons. But now Zidane’s future in charge at the Santiago Bernabeu is hanging by a thread, possibly tied to the outcome of the looming showdown with this formidable Paris Saint-Germain outfit. For 18 months after his appoint...
