Laptop Batteries

If your laptop battery can not backup as it used to and you can only get thirty minutes or at most forty five of work done before you need to start  searching for an AC outlet? Sounds like it's time for a replacement battery. It is true that laptop batteries are  expensive but without a good backup your pc hard drive is at a risk and you could eventually lost your data in the occurrence of a possible crash. Price vary from one model to another but new ones sell for a few thousands of naira if you know what I mean.  There are some as high as ten to fifteen thousand naira. When you consider that brand-new laptops now sell from as low as forty five  thousand naira, it can be a hard pill to swallow. If your laptop is your primary PC, and you are sure of constant power from your AC outlet (can't vouch for that anyway) you may be wasting battery cycles by leaving it plugged in all the time. Try removing the battery until you actually need to go somewhere with your l...

That is about 3 billion bottles of beer and when distributed across 170 million people are about 200 bottles per person a year. The average Nigerian is either a Christian or a Muslim. Both religions enjoined adherents to avoid alcohol. So, who drank =N=600 billion worth of alcohol in one year? A country with more churches and mosques than anywhere else on the continent. ...

China products trusted by Chinese

  It is a good development when a country can depend on her citizens or a company within its borders to produce quality and suitable enough gadgets branded as made in that region and it enjoys very good patronage from the citizenry. A country with a good range of productive segment in her territory will witness rapid growth. Rapid economy development both locally and internationally will be part of their returns if properly scaled. A country who asks her citizens to stand up tall and backs them up will certainly succeed. They will make a good name. It might not be an easy task but in the long run both country and citizens will benefit and have good returns on investment (ROI) both in cash and kind. China has been very keen on this. We can see their results though we  may not know what they have gone through to achieve the level of success they presently have. They have been trying all efforts on the self sufficient mindset and it is paying them well with cash, internat...
