WOW! Blackberry BBM Launches On Android And iPhone

Blackberry has finally resumed the rolling out of BlackBerry Messenger mobile social messaging service (BBM) on iPhone and Android apps.


The company said in a blog post that the free BBM apps will start showing up in Google Play, Apple App Store and some Samsung App Stores.

In order to make sure all goes smoothly, you’ll need to line up for a spot by visiting BBM.com from your phone’s browser and entering your information. You’ll get an email when your turn comes up.

If you have already signed up at bbm.com you should be able to start using the app immediately.

Last month, the company paused the rollout of the apps after an unreleased version of the Android app was posted online. About a million Android users jumped in within seven hours to grab that version, which the company pulled back.

In the blog post, the company noted that more than a million people also found a way to “sideload” BBM onto iPhones.

In May, the struggling Canadian firm announced that it would be rolling out BBM, perhaps the company’s most popular service, to other mobile platforms. It had been exclusive to BlackBerry smartphones. The service features BBM Chat for instant messaging with other users. Additionally, each user has a unique PIN, so you don’t have to give out your phone number to use the service – a privacy feature.

The company has slashed 4,500 jobs in a last-ditch move to recharge itself. It has so far failed to invigorate its business despite unveiling a new smartphone line and software in January. The company is now an acquisition target.

Okonjo Iweala Tells The Truth About Government's Position On ASUU Strike

Contrary to some recent media reports, the Federal government has not adopted a take-it-or-leave-it approach in its negotiations with ASUU. Rather, the approach is focused on positive engagement and achieving sustainable solutions to the challenges facing higher education in the country. That is why President Goodluck Jonathan recently appealed to ASUU to respond to government's positive steps by calling off its strike in the interest of suffering students and parents.

Despite this, for several days now,

FOOTBALL: Keshi Not Paid For 7 Months

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) owes Super Eagles manager, Stephen Keshi, and members of his back-room staff seven months’ salaries. It was confirmed by NFF President, Aminu Maigari, over the weekend.

"After reading some of the numerous contributions and comments here on#NigeriaWeServe , I have been inspired to write something on violence because some of our fans and followers have been seriously agitating for violence and revolution.

''Iniesta Deserves Ballon d'Or' - Deco

Former Barcelona midfielder Deco has taken the time to praise Andres Iniesta and feels the Spain international deserves to win the Fifa Ballon d'Or.
 The 29-year-old finished second in the election in 2010 after helping Spain to World Cup glory, while he came in third last year to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and Deco believes the Portugal and Argentina sensations are the only reasons why the Barcelona midfielder has failed to win the prize.

"Iniesta would definitely deserve a Ballon d'Or," Deco was quoted as saying by El Mundo Deportivo.

Stella Oduah And Bullet Proof Cars Saga

The stench of arrogance, lies, deceit and corruption in the government of President Goodluck Jonathan oozes that no amount of image-laundering cologne will cure. Loyalists and aides never forget to remind us that Mr. Jonathan is a good man, a gentleman, a respecter of rule of law, God-sent leader, bla bla. But why would a man with such wonderful attributes that would make Basir Al-Assad commit suicide, continue to flirt around terrible individuals? Do I perceive a case of rewarding undiluted loyalty or unequaled friendship?I am very amazed.


In those days, questionable characters in whatever arm of government possess a bit of decorum. Many of them, albeit renowned brigands stole with a measure of sympathy. They looted in a way only their family members, concubines, close staff and

EMENIKE, The New Goal-Machine Of The Super Eagles

Emmanuel Emenike could well be the goals machine Nigeria have long waited for as he now averages a goal every other game for them.

Nigeria have long waited for a striker who will take the responsibility of scoring goals for the Eagles since the days of the late Rashidi Yekini.

The likes of Julius Aghahowa, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Obafemi Martins at some point were regarded as the men to take on the Eagles goal-scoring responsibilities, but none of them could match the exploits of the legendary Yekini.

WOW! Dental Surgery Done With Lantern In Nigeria

Perhaps we understand why many Nigerians prefer to travel abroad to get medical attention. Of course these doctors couldn't have started out with a lamp, power outage must have led to this horrible scene. The lamp must have been used to bridge the interface between the power cut and generator back-up.


This is the real situation we experience in Nigeria, as the power situation gets worse everyday, despite the Billions of dollars spent to better the power sector in Nigeria. Shame on our leaders, it's more disappointing that this is a Federal Teaching Hospital.
