Declareyourassets.com is becoming Nigeria’s most viral game

Since President Buhari and VP Osinbajo have declared their assets, Nigerians too have decided to

declare theirs lolz. I just heard about this hilarious game www.declareyourassets.com where Nigerians

can now declare their assets- well it’s just for laughs though. The digital agency behind it decided to

create the game just for fun so that Nigerians too can declare their assets and see what they are worth.

I particularly love the way they made it funny and then ended it with a motivational/ encouraging

comment.

If you have not declared your assets yet abeg, what are you waiting for kwa? You won’t believe how

much the game says I’m worth. I’m not telling you *RunningAway*

THE UNVEILING OF THE SAMSUNG GALAXY GEAR WATCHES:WELCOME TIZEN

The huge Mobile World Congress show is starting in Barcelona, which means that the next few days will be jam-packed with announcements of new phones, tablets, wearables and other mobile gadgetry. One of the first big unveilings: Samsung’s Galaxy Gear 2 and Galaxy Gear 2 Neo, the second-generation versions of the smartwatch which the company shipped less than six months ago.

 

There’s a lot that’s not radically new about the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo. They’re a millimeter thinner than the first one and a big lighter, but the dimensions are similar overall, which makes them a wristfull. Like the first Gear, the Gear 2 has a camera, but this time it’s on the watch itself rather than the strap, so the watch can take swappable straps. The Gear 2 Neo is similar to the Gear 2, but doesn’t have a camera.

Both watches now sport heart-rate monitors and have the built-in ability to play music. They run a bunch of apps, such as CNN, Evernote, Expedia, Feedly, PayPal, Runtastic and ones for BMW, GM and Volkswagen cars. As with the first Gear, they work only with Samsung Galaxy phones, but the company says that “dozens” of models are supported.
