“Data is life,” a phrase many Nigerians know all too well. But let’s take it a step further. If data is life, then what powers that life? The answer is simple: the TECNO CAMON 50 Series.

Chelsea crashed to a dismal 3-0 defeat against Brighton on Tuesday, leaving their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League in tatters as pressure mounts on beleaguered boss Liam Rosenior. Rosenior’s side produced one of their worst performances of a miserable season as Ferdi Kadioglu put Brighton ahead in the first half before Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck netted after the interval. It is the first time that Chelsea have lost five consecutive league games without scoring since 1912, fittingly the year that the Titanic sank. Beaten seven times in their last eight games in all competitions, the Blues have…
