The name ‘Lagos’ meaning ‘Lakes’ in Portuguese is said to have been given by a Portuguese explorer, Rui de Sequeira when he visited the area in 1472 Lagos ‘State’ was created on May 27, 1967 The population of Lagos today is about more than the total population of all the eastern states of Nigeria combined. Lagos’ population in 1872 was 60,000. By comparison, London was the first city to reach a population of more than one million, in 1811. It remained the largest city in the world until it was overtaken by Tokyo in 1957. Lagos is on course to be the third largest city in the entire world in 2025. That said…..Lagos is also the smallest state in Nigeria occupying an area of just 385.9 mi² A dollar ($1) was 90 kobo (N0.90) at the beginning of Babangida’s term in 1985. Today 33 years later, a dollar ($1) goes for N370.00 on the foreign exchange market.

The launch of PayPal in Nigeria in mid-2014 introduced a more secure way to transact, in a simpler and more flexible manner across borders; opening up a world of shopping possibilities for Nigerian consumers. PayPal gives people better ways to connect to their money and to each other, helping them pay online without sharing financial information with the sellers. A recent study conducted in Nigeria by Ipsos* – a global market research company – on behalf of PayPal shows an expectation by Nigerian consumers to conduct more shopping online. Out of the approximately 50 million internet users in Nigeria, 65% of users already shop online and another 24% of users expect to do so in the future. These numbers clearly demonstrate that Nigerians have a big and growing appetite for E-commerce. Here is a list of the top 5 reasons why Nigerian consumers choose PayPal and use it for online shopping. 1. A more secure way to pay online When you make a payment with PayPal your financial details are not shared with the seller. This gives you more control over your financial information and provides you with an extra layer of security. 2. The benefit of PayPal Buyer protection […]
The term dieting often gets a bad rap which is sometimes obvious in the sneers and giggles you may observe from friends when you inform them that you are on a diet. Some people’s negative reaction to the term dieting is partly because of their misunderstanding of what a diet is and partly because most people are unsuccessful at dieting. Dieting is an adjustment or regulation to a person’s intake of food to achieve a set goal either for medical reasons or cosmetic weight loss. Most people correlate dieting with losing weight but there are many different types of diets for many different aims. For example Olympic swimmers are some of the fittest and slimmest athletes but a male Olympic swimmer’s average daily calorie intake on their training diet is 8,000 to 10,000 calories per day. The average man consumes just north of 2,500 calories per day. People go on diets for various reasons such as to reduce cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, lose baby fat, build muscle, shape out for their wedding day. However most people go on diets in order to lose weight, look and feel better about themselves. The problem with dieting for weight loss is that most […]
