  Deadline Week Frenzy: The Premier League Transfer News You Need to Know The summer transfer window slams shut on September 1, and as always, the final stretch is where the real drama happens. With the 2026–27 Premier League season already underway — Arsenal enter as defending champions after kicking things off on August 22 — clubs are scrambling to get their business done before the deadline. Here's everything moving right now. The Big Deals in Motion Tottenham and Manchester City have both been busy today. Spurs have struck an agreement to sign Omar Marmoush, while City have agreed terms for Ayyoub Bouaddi. City aren't stopping there — they're also reportedly deep in talks over a blockbuster move for Chelsea's Enzo Fernández, a deal that would send shockwaves through the league if it goes through. Meanwhile, Arsenal may have found a way back into the race for Julian Álvarez, even as the striker reportedly has his heart set on a Barcelona switch. It's shaping up t...

  Nigeria's Export Business Is Booming: Why Super Eagles Talent Keeps Attracting Europe's Biggest Clubs Nigerian football is having a moment — again. Every transfer window seems to bring a fresh wave of Super Eagles stars either completing high-profile moves or being chased by clubs across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. The summer of 2026 has been no exception, and the pattern says something bigger about where Nigerian talent now sits in the global game. A Summer Window Full of Nigerian Names With the 2026 World Cup wrapped up and Europe's domestic seasons about to kick off, the transfer market has been buzzing with Super Eagles activity. Nottingham Forest have had two Nigerian internationals on their books, but one of them, Taiwo Awoniyi, has agreed to join newly promoted Coventry City in what looks set to be the Sky Blues' marquee summer signing. The move leaves Ola Aina as the club's lone remaining Super Eagles representative — a reminder of just how much N...

  Jobs AI May Replace—and Jobs Nigerians Should Learn Now Artificial intelligence is changing the way people work, and Nigeria is not exempt. From customer service and data entry to content creation and accounting, AI is already performing tasks that previously required human workers. But this doesn't necessarily mean that everyone will lose their jobs. The bigger lesson is this: the jobs most at risk are those built around repetitive, predictable tasks. At the same time, new opportunities are emerging for people who know how to use AI alongside valuable human skills. Jobs AI May Replace or Reduce 1. Data Entry AI can extract information from documents, organize spreadsheets and process large amounts of data much faster than humans. People who rely entirely on manual data entry may therefore face increasing competition from automation. 2. Basic Customer Service AI chatbots and virtual assistants can answer common questions, track orders and provide basic support around the clock. H...

  Running a business in Nigeria can be demanding. You have to find customers, create content, answer messages, manage finances, track sales and still find time to actually run the business. The good news is that you don't have to do everything manually. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly becoming practical business assistants. The key is not to use AI simply because it is trending. The real question is: Can this tool help me save time, reduce costs, attract customers or increase sales? Here are 10 AI tools Nigerian business owners should know in 2026. 1. ChatGPT — Your All-Purpose Business Assistant ChatGPT can help with almost every area of a small business. You can use it to: Write social-media posts Create advertisements Develop business plans Write product descriptions Respond to customer complaints Analyse sales information Generate business ideas Create marketing strategies Write proposals and business documents For example, a fashion designer could ask: ...

AI is not coming for the future. It is already changing the way people work and make money. From content creation and marketing to data analysis and business automation, artificial intelligence is becoming a powerful tool for professionals, freelancers and entrepreneurs. The good news? You don't need to be a programmer to benefit from AI. If you learn the right AI skills now, you could position yourself for better job opportunities, freelance work and new income streams. Here are 7 AI skills worth learning in 2026. 1. Prompt Engineering Knowing how to give AI the right instructions is becoming an increasingly useful skill.

Where you can use it: Business Marketing Content creation Research Customer service Education You can start practising with AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude and G...

Making money with AI doesn't necessarily require coding skills, expensive software, or a large investment. With a smartphone, internet connection, and the right approach, you can use ChatGPT to help you provide simple services that people and businesses are already willing to pay for. The important thing is to understand that you are not selling ChatGPT—you are selling the result you create with it. 7 Simple Services You Can Offer 1. CV and Resume Writing Many job seekers struggle to create professional CVs. You can use ChatGPT to help structure, rewrite and improve CVs. Potential price: ₦3,000–₦10,000 per CV. 2. Business Proposals Small businesses often need proposals for partnerships, funding applications and new projects. ChatGPT can help you create a professional first draft that you then customize for the client. Potential price: ₦5,000–₦20,000 per proposal. 3. Social Media Content Many businesses don't know what to post consistently. You can create captions, content calen...

 5 AI Side Hustles Nigerians Can Start This Week — With Just a Phone (No Capital Required) Everyone keeps telling you AI is "taking jobs." Nobody's telling you it's also handing out new ones — for free, to anyone with a smartphone and data. You don't need a laptop. You don't need capital. You don't need to relocate abroad. You just need to know which AI tools actually pay off, and how to package what they do into something someone will pay for. Here are five that are working for Nigerians right now. 1. Sell AI-Written Social Media Captions and Content Calendars Small business owners in Nigeria — the boutique owner, the caterer, the POS agent with a shop — know they need to "be active on Instagram" but don't have time to write captions every day. How it works: Use ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to generate a month's worth of captions, post ideas, and hashtags for a small business, based on their niche. Package it as a simple content calendar (...

  The New WhatsApp Feature Nobody Told You About If you're still typing "@" and manually tagging every single person in your group chat one by one, you need to see this. WhatsApp just rolled out a small but genuinely useful update to group chats that most people haven't noticed yet — and a couple of other tweaks that make managing groups way less stressful. 1. The "@all" Tag — Tag Everyone in One Shot Instead of tagging each member individually (which nobody actually does, so half the group misses important messages), you can now type @all in any group chat and it notifies everyone at once. This is huge for: Admins of church, school, or community groups sending important announcements Business owners running customer or team groups Anyone tired of scrolling to tag 40 people one by one 2. Polls Just Got Smarter Group polls now come with three upgrades: End time — set a deadline so voting automatically closes Hide voter names — useful for sensitive questions (...

  ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini: Which One Actually Helps Nigerians Make Money? Everyone's talking about AI, but the real question for most Nigerians isn't "which AI is smartest" — it's "which one can actually help me make money this month?" I've broken down the three biggest AI tools right now — ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini — based on what actually matters for hustlers, freelancers, and small business owners here. ChatGPT (OpenAI) Best for: Content writing, freelance gigs, general hustle work ChatGPT is the most widely known and has the biggest ecosystem of plugins, browser extensions, and integrations. If you're writing articles, product descriptions, social media captions, or doing freelance writing gigs on Upwork/Fiverr, this is usually the first tool people reach for. Money angle: Freelance writing, content creation for clients, chatbot building via its API for small businesses. Downside: Free tier has usage limits, and it can feel generic unle...

  You bought your Android phone brand new and it flew. Apps opened instantly, typing was smooth, everything just worked. Fast forward a year or two, and now it lags when you open WhatsApp, freezes when switching apps, and sometimes just... hangs. You're not imagining it. Here's what's actually causing it — and the quick fixes that bring back the speed. 1. Too Many Apps Running in the Background Every app you've ever opened doesn't fully close — many keep running quietly, eating RAM and battery. Fix: Go to Settings → Apps → Running apps (or swipe up and close apps from Recents). Better yet, uninstall apps you haven't opened in the last 3 months. 2. Your Storage Is Almost Full Android slows down significantly once storage passes 90% full — the system needs free space to manage temporary files and cache. Fix: Go to Settings → Storage and check what's eating space. Usually it's WhatsApp media, downloaded photos/videos, and old APK files. Clear them out or mo...

Your Phone Is Spying on You — Here's How to Check (and Stop It) You probably don't think about it every day, but your phone knows more about you than your closest friend. It knows where you sleep, who you talk to most, what time you wake up, and even how long you stared at that one Instagram post at 2am. The scary part? Most of that information is being quietly collected — by apps you installed years ago and forgot about. Here's how to check what's really happening on your phone, and how to shut it down in a few minutes. 1. Check Which Apps Are Using Your Location Go to Settings → Location → App permissions (on most Android phones). You'll likely find apps you barely use — old games, flashlight apps, even some file managers — with permission to track your location 24/7. Fix: Set location access to "Only while using the app" or revoke it completely for anything that doesn't need it. 2. See What's Listening Through Your Microphone Go to Settings → Pr...
