Today, nearly everyone uses a mobile phone. As a result, users also need to connect to the internet. Many people couldn't live even a second without their phones.

From phone calls to a wide range of useful apps like a camera, email access, banking, and more, we depend on our mobile devices for everyday tasks. Often, when problems develop, we know how dependent we are on them. The security of our smartphones must come first because of how much of an impact they have on our lives.

For a gadget website, publishing a detailed phone review or laptop comparison is only part of the work. Search engines also look at whether other credible websites consider your pages useful enough to reference. That makes backlink requirements a common concern for tech publishers—but there is no fixed number of links that guarantees a top Google position.
A new site reviewing smartphones in Nigeria faces different competition from an established global technology publication. The better question is not simply how many backlinks to get, but which pages need links, where those links can come from, and whether the content deserves to be cited.
Why there is no universal backlink target
Backlinks are links from other websites to yours. They can help search...

When a couple of years ago JAMB introduced online registration for its then UME examination, a lot of Nigerians were happy. This was because JAMB online registration made it easy and convenient to register for JAMB examinations. That is why we think that the requirement by JAMB from 2012 that UTME registration can only be done at accredited centres is unfortunate.

In our last cost of internet access report, we noted that Glo’s price advantage was being challenged, the trend continued in Q4, 2011, especially in the high data segment the culprit this time being Swift Networks.

With all the buzz about the new 3G service from Etisalat called easyblaze, I decided to put it to the test, to experience things for myself. easyblaze is Etisalat's 3G service that advertises internet speed of up to 42Mbps.

I was expecting the internet speed to blow me away, but it didn't.
Do not get me wrong, the speed of Etisalat easyblaze was fast enough for...
