12 schools to benefit from Airtel ARS goals for education.

Following the introduction of
special education incentive for every goal
scored at the just concluded National
Championship of the Airtel Rising Stars
Under-17 Football National Competition
by leading telecommunications operator,
Airtel Nigeria, twelve primary schools in
local communities across the six geo-
political zones of the country have been
chosen as beneficiaries of the initiative.
The company had offered $100 for every
goal scored during match regulation time
at the National Finals where 192 players
comprising 12 male and female teams
drawn from six zones across the nation
slugged it out for the trophies.
At the keenly contested tournament, a
total of 20 goals were scored from 14
matches played by both the male and
female teams.
Combined efforts from Team Kaduna
yielded 5 goals to tie with Team Port
Harcourt. Ibadan teams secured 4 goals,
while Lagos netted a total of 3 goals.
Enugu boys and girls recorded 2 goals
apiece, while the representatives of the
Federal Capital Territory (FCT) trailed
the rest with a single goal.
According to Airtel's Director of
Corporate Communications and CSR,
Emeka Oparah, the respective team
Coaches will receive the aggregated
monetary value due their teams to
purchase books and other relevant school
items for donation to the pupils of the
selected schools in their domain.
Oparah said all the donations pan-
Nigeria will take place on resumption of
the new academic year in September.
Said he: "The Goal-for-Education"
initiative is intended to complement
what we are doing in Adopt-a-School
programme, our CSR platform. The idea
is to send the monetary value of the goals
scored at the Airtel National finals and
donate it to selected schools to open
doors to under-privileged children who
ordinarily would have no access to
quality education.
Airtel Nigeria is passionate about laying
a solid educational foundation for
Nigerian children."
The ARS National U-17 Championship
finals which held penultimate weekend
at the Agege stadium saw the Port
Harcourt male and female teams dust
their rivals to the trophies.
The Port Harcourt female team emerged
2-1 victorious over their opponents from
Ibadan to retain the trophy for the third
season.
In the same vein, the male team took off
from where their female counterpart left
off as they reclaimed the trophy they last
won two seasons ago at Campos Square
by up-staging the Ibadan team 2-0.
In the third place matches played earlier,
Kaduna defeated FCT Queens 5-4 to
retain the trophy they won last season in
the female category while team Lagos
won their first ever ARS medal 5-3
against their Kaduna counterparts.
The Airtel Rising Stars U-17 Tourney, in
its third year running, is a pan African
initiative of Airtel Africa, designed to
provide support for the development

WZoneLite – A Pretty Cool WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Plugin .

Everyone wants to make a million dollars by being a blogger. The promise of riches and internet fame is a big draw to doing it for a lot of people, and I’m sorry to say that the reality of being a blogger (even a professional blogger!) is not quite…as financially lucrative as all that. But that’s not to say that it  can’t be –one of the best ways to start your empire is with an Amazon affiliate plugin. For me, the Amazon Associates program has been one of the biggest earners for me over the years. Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of  anything  they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a  pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

Windows 10 now on 600 million machines.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told shareholders that Windows 10 has now passed 600 million monthly active users, picking up 100 million since May of this year. This number counts all Windows 10 devices used over a 28-day period. While most of these will be PCs, there are other things in the mix there: a few million Xbox Ones, a few million Windows 10 Mobile phones, and special hardware like the HoloLens and Surface Hub. The exact mix between these categories isn't known, because Microsoft doesn't say. The company's original ambition (and sales pitch to developers) was to have one billion systems running Windows 10 within about three years of the operating system's launch. In July last year, the company acknowledged that it won't hit that target—the original plan called for  50 million or more phone sales a year , which the retreat from the phone market has made impossible. But at the current rate it should still be on track for somewhere in excess of 700 million use...

Mayweather's Marriage Proposal -- I'll Love You Forever ... But Your Attitude Sucks!

It's what every little girl dreams of ... a marriage proposal over text message ... complete with crazy Hollywood bribes and a demand that you change your crappy attitude, stat.  And that's exactly what Floyd Mayweather fired off to Shantel Jackson back in April '14 ... according to new court docs obtained by TMZ Sports.  Jackson put the proposal on display in new legal papers filed in her nuclear war with her ex-fiancee ... which shows how Floyd tried to convince Shantel into getting engaged for a 2nd time.  "This is what I offer to you. Let's get married move in together you can go back in forth to L.A and stay at the condo." "I promise I will get you in 3 A list movies this year and I'm willing to go to counseling to make us work and you can get the stuff you want and I'm willing to change but I need you to have a better attitude." How romantic, right?! Shantel says she shot down the offer (shocker) ... and included several t...
