It will be an understatement if I say that a Power Bank is as important as the phone you are using but the truth is some people can't do without them. Though Power Bank usage have gradually reduced since mobile phone companies now make phones with bigger and long lasting battery that can last for the whole day.

Some even act as powerbank to charge fellow phones. But I won't deny the fact that there are people that are still making use of it and someone somewhere is even planning to buy a new power bank so to those that want to get a new one, this post is for you. I will reveal some simple secrets to identify an original Power bank so that you know the difference between fake and original power bank device.

Buying a power bank is not the issue but the question is this; is the power bank fake or original? Are you buying it because it's very beautiful in appearance? What is you aim of going to the market to buy a power bank?

HOW TO IDENTIFY a FAKE POWER BANK

Bellow are the ways to identify a fake power bank;

1. It has no Brand Name: Some power banks in the market has no brand name, instead what is written on them is just "Power Bank". Don't go for them! There are many branded ones you can checkout for. Example are those from Xiaomi, Anker, Jackberry, iMuto, iceworks, MaxOak, Qi-infinity and so on.

2. Exaggerated Ratings: Many power banks that are rated above 30,000mAh capacity are usually fake except those from popular brands.

3. Lite Weight: Most fake Power banks weighs very lite. You will see a power bank with 50,000mAh capacity weighing very lite and even fancy looking and easy to put inside pockets. My dear, it's fake. An original 50,000mAh supposed to be decently heavy and bulky.

4. They are Very Cheap: Most fake power banks are very cheap, in fact, their prices are too good to be true. You will see a seller pressuring you to buy 30,000mAh capacity powerbank for just N3,000. Chai! God help us.

HOW TO IDENTIFY ORIGINAL POWER BANK

Meanwhile, contrary to the above mentioned ways to spot a fake power bank, here are the main ways to know and identify a good and original powerbank. Read on...

✔️ Original power Bank comes with a brand name.

✔️ It doesn't have exaggerated high capacity like 40000mAh,50000mAh,100000mAh etc.

✔️ The charging capacity tallies with what it is written on it depending on your battery capacity too.

✔️ Original power banks are heavier

✔ They are usually rugged in nature and bulky

✔ Original power banks don't come with many fancy features like too many LED Lights, many display screen, music player and so on

✔ They usually take longer time to completely get charged (depending on the capacity - the higher the capacity, the longer charging time required) except it comes with fast charge technology.

✔ It is decently and justifiably costly

In summary, shine your eyes when buying a new power bank. Let this article serve as a reference point in identifying the best and original powerbank to go for.

Breaking News: Zinox Group Acquires Konga in a $10M Deal

It's so shocking to see this headline but the it's true. Zinox Group, which is an integrated ICT solutions and Original Equipment Manufacturer, has acquiired Konga after several months of negotiations with major investors, Naspers and AB Kinnevik.

According to the report, Zinox Group will commence ownership of the e-commerce group which includes Konga.com, Nigeria’s largest online mall; KongaPay, a CBN-licensed mobile money platform with over 100,000 subscribers as well as KOS-Express, a digitally-driven logistics company.

The company said the acquisition was expected to create employment opportunities for over 5,000 Nigerians, both at home and in the Diaspora within a short period.

Zinox being the parent company of Yudala acquired the company for $10m – $15m and the acquisition has passed all regulatory approvals by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Breaking News: Konga Sacks Many Workers, Stops POD Services

Nigerian eCommerce giant, Konga has reportedly laid off over 60% of its workforce, in what seems to be a move to drastically reduce operational costs.

According to Quartz, “CEO Shola Adekoya informed staff of the cuts yesterday November 30 and said the company will adopt a leaner business model”. There are also speculations that founding ex-CEO Sim Shagaya may be returning to his role, from which stepped down almost 2 years go.

While there is no official statement about the massive layoff, Shola Adekoya alluded to an “internal restructuring” in a recent Medium post in which he also happened to announce another major decision; Konga is shifting to a prepay-only model, essentially putting a stop to Pay on Delivery (PoD).

“In recent years,” said Shola, “we have explored several solutions for payment and e-commerce in Nigeria and concluded that prepay is a necessary approach for our business and the market.

He penned down the decision to the “cost of inflation and increasing challenges of managing payment-on-delivery, as well as the resulting level of order cancellations on the platform”.

Konga is not the first major eCommerce platform in Nigeria to attempt to kill the monster that is PoD. Following the tragic murdering of a Jumia delivery man in Port Harcourt, Payporte, in seeming retaliation drew first blood in April, by suspending PoD almost a year behind schedule. Soon enough, Jumia itself followed suit, albeit with a partial implementation. With three of the major eCommerce platforms on board, this might be the beginning of the end for PoD.

Beyond the layoffs and elimination of PoD, Konga will also be ending it warehousing service for merchants. According to techpoint.

Using Dual Flash Drive To Connect Smartphone and PC Makes Life More Easier

A dual flash drive is a special type of drive that has a micro-USB connector on one end and a USB 3.0 connector on the other, making it the very simple and convenient to move files between your OTG-enabled smartphones, tablets and your PC, laptop or other computer. In other words, Dual Connectors Bridge Phones, Tablets, and Computers.

MEANING OF OTG?
The acronym OTG is an abbreviation for USB On-The-Go. USB OTG is a technology that allows you plug in and use USB devices like USB flash drive, mouse, or keyboard with smartphones and other gadgets. This means if your phone is OTG enabled, it can read contents on flash drives just like a PC

HOW CAN I USE A DUAL FLASH DRIVE?
To use the dual USB flash drive on your PC is very easy and simple. You just have to plug the standard USB end to the USB port on your PC.

However, to use it with a smartphone, your phone must be 'USB-OTG enabled'. It allows it to recognize and read USB flash drives as soon as it's plugged in. Unfortunately, not all smartphones boast of this feature.

Now this is how to use it on your smartphone or tablet,
✔ Plug the micro-USB end into the right port on your phone. Once you plug it, you should get a prompt in the notification centre showing you that a USB drive is plugged in, and the option to explore or eject it.
✔ Just tap “Explore” and the file manager will be launched to show you the contents of the flash drive.

Alternatively, you can access the contents of the dual flash drive by opening the file manager on your phone and you should see the external drive storage listed.

HOW TO EJECT SAFELY
Some of us always make the mistake of not paying attention to safe ejection of memory devices. This have led to many flash drives getting damaged on frequent basis because it is a volatile device. So it's advisable to safely eject the flash drive before unplugging it. To do this;

✔ Go to your phone settings
✔ Tap on storage
✔ Then, tap the USB drive eject button

After that, you will get a message that the drive has been safely ejected. Then, you can unplug the flash drive.

SHARING/TRANSFERRING FILES 📁
It is easy and not different from the method you apply while transferring with a regular flash drive.
