Etisalat Nigeria Officially Changes Brand Name to 9mobile



Few weeks back, Mubadala Group, the major investor from the United Arab Emirates, pulled out of Nigeria’s fourth largest mobile operator, due to a N541 billion debt.  
On July 4, 2017, a new board was appointed at Etisalat Nigeria, to handle the smooth transition of the telecommunications company after a reallocation of shares and Boye Olusanya, former deputy managing director of Celtel Nigeria (now Airtel Nigeria), was appointed as the chief executive officer of Etisalat Nigeria to over see the transition.

Now, Etisalat Nigeria is changing its brand name to 9Mobile as part of the 3-weeks ultimatum given to it by the parent company to discontinue using the Etisalat brand name in Nigeria.

The Largest Brick Dome

Image
The Duomo in Florence has the largest brick dome ever and is often referred to as the “Birthplace of the Renaissance”. The dome was a huge challenge since ancient domes in Italy such as the Pantheon in Rome had been constructed using concrete but the recipe for concrete had been lost in the Dark Ages.  Medieval gothic cathedrals relied on flying buttresses to support their massive stone weight but architects and engineers of the budding Renaissance were determined not to use flamboyant Gothic and wanted to look back to the simple, clean lines of their Roman past. The architect Filippo Brunelleschi came up with a solution. The Duomo is actually two domes. The inner dome is made of sandstone and marble. The outer dome is made of brick-and-mortar—each brick carefully designed, shaped, and fired to support the dome. The dome was constructed without any supports beneath it and was an immediate success with Brunelleschi becoming the chief architect associated with the Renaiss...

Here are 7 foods you've probably been storing wrong your entire life:

Image
1. Storing yours eggs in their original carton on a shelf in the fridge keeps them fresh at least 3-4 weeks past the sell-by date. TIP: don't store your eggs on the door – this makes them more susceptible to temperature changes. 2. Store milk in the very back of the fridge where it's the coolest. 3. Always put your leftovers in the fridge within 2 hours after cooking it. Use a wide and shallow container and don't keep the leftovers for more than five days. 4. Store apples in plastic bags in the fridge. If you're storing apple slices, squeeze some lemon juice on them to prevent them from turning brown. 5. Do not wash your mushrooms before storing them. Place them in a paper bag in the fridge and keep them dry. 6. Keep your grapes in the bag you bought them in and wrap them with paper towel. This will absorb any moisture which could cause mold to grow. Don't wash them until you eat them. 7. Separate your bananas and wrap each ...

Details of Morata’s transfer to Chelsea revealed

Image
More details have emerged, after Chelsea confirmed on Wednesday, that they have reached an agreement with Real Madrid for Alvaro Morata. The Premier League champions will pay an initial fee of £58million for the 24-year-old striker, who is set to discuss personal terms and undergo a medical. It is almost £20m less than the initial £75m Manchester United paid for Romelu Lukaku, who had been Chelsea’s top target. The £58m will still eclipse Chelsea’s previous record spend of £50m on Fernando Torres in 2011. It is believed the add-ons could see the final fee rise towards £70m. Morata is currently in the US on a pre-season tour with Madrid, but will now leave to complete the deal.
