Especially in Shenzhen, where the majority of electronic gadget factories are located, you can find online gadget shops doing international business everywhere and Gearbest.com is one of them. Store background Although Gearbest leaves an England-based office address on its official website for contact needs, its major operation centre as well as warehouse facilities should be positioned in Shenzhen.

I am sharing this piece to educate the public about raging Visa Lottery scams. I received the following email informing that I have been selected for the America visa lottery I did not apply for. If you received similar, please handle with caution, most especially if you have applied for the lottery. Here are some hints to determine if the email is genuine: Check the sender email address.

Fellow Nigerians, let me confess that in over 30 years of writing no President has ever reacted directly or positively to my constant admonitions, lamentations or commendations. Rather, most of the time, their aides, cronies and acolytes used to fire darts and barbs at us from every direction.

You can thus fathom a guess as to how I must have felt when Femi Adesina’s call…

Drivers inflict themselves to far more treacherous terrain – crossing dunes, mud, camel grass, and rocks can all be expected on the route – than a normal rally. This means that these guys compete in off-road…
