Adesiyan, who voted at Unit 8, Ward 6, Lagere Idiose, Ode Omu, expressed concern over how long it would take the large number of voters on the queue to cast their ballots, given the performance of the machine. The former minister said, “The exercise is peaceful here. There have not been any problems, only that the BVAS is very slow. “In this place, we have almost 1,000 people who…
One of the big tradeoffs with Xteink’s pocket-friendly e-readers is a lack of easy access to ebooks. On a Kindle or Kobo you can download tens of thousands of titles through each device’s respective online bookstores, but with Xteink’s devices you have to source DRM-free ebooks on your own. That’s about to change, as the developers of CrossPoint Reader, a free alternative firmware for the X3, X4, and X4 Pro, are introducing support for third-party plug-ins that will expand the e-readers’ capabilities. One of the first from the community will give the devices access to DRM-protected ebooks borrowed through OverDrive’s…
The numbers behind the oft-cited prediction that Bitcoin will reach $1 million by 2030 simply don’t add up, according to Markus Thielen, head of research at 10x Research.“It’s mathematically impossible,” Thielen tells Cointelegraph on Trade Secrets, arguing that Bitcoin’s historical capital inflows over the past 15 years fall far short of the amount it would need to attract over the next four years to reach $1 million. “We have seen $1 trillion US dollars of inflow to bring the market cap really to $1 trillion.

The project eventually evolved into a 200‑page book, “AI in Crisis Communication in Nigeria: Challenges and Prospects,” endorsed by leading figures in technology, strategic communications and academia. More remarkably, it earned international recognition, shortlisted for the Golden World Awards (GWA) of the International Public Relations Association (IPRA) in Athens, Greece. Some journeys end abruptly. Some ambitions collapse under the weight of institutional power. And sometimes, a certificate is denied — but the idea behind it refuses to die. That is the quiet but powerful message at the heart of Yushau A Shuaib’s memoir, MNI versus MNIPR in NIPSS: Tackling…
