Islamic group sends message to Senators, Reps Over Buhari

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has urged the 9th National Assembly (NASS) to support President Muhammadu Buhari in his efforts to put Nigeria back on the right track.

MURIC in a statement by its Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, urged the NASS to distance itself from the parliamentary rascality.

It said: "The ninth National Assembly must come to the nation's rescue. It is therefore not just about President Muhammadu Buhari. It is about Nigeria.

"The current NASS, especially Senate, must therefore set the machinery in motion for the establishment of special courts to try looters. The existing courts are being bogged down by........READ MORE>>>

Google's history of Algorithm and Updates

Google's history of Algorithm and Updates
Google's algorithm

What are Google Algorithms?

Google's algorithms are a complex system used to retrieve data from its search index and instantly deliver the best possible results for a query. The search engine uses a combination of algorithms and numerous ranking signals to deliver webpages ranked by relevance on its search engine results pages (SERPs).

In its early years, Google only made a handful of updates to its algorithms. Now, Google makes thousands of changes every year.

Most of these updates are so slight that they go completely unnoticed. However, on occasion, the search engine rolls out major algorithmic updates that significantly impact the SERPs such as:


    Fred
    Intrusive Interstitials Update
    Mobilegeddon
    RankBrain
    Panda
    Penguin
    Hummingbird
    Pigeon
    Payday
    EMD (Exact Match Domain)
    Page Layout Algorithm

October 25, 2019, BERT Update
Google announced the BERT Update, calling it the biggest change to Google search in the past 5 years. Google uses BERT models to better understand search queries. Google said this change impacted both search rankings and featured snippets and BERT (which stands for Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) will be used on 10 percent of U.S. English searches.

September 24, 2019, Broad Core Algorithm Update
Google's Danny Sullivan announced via a tweet that a broad core algorithm update would be released within a few hours and it would take a few days to complete rolling out. Google's guidance was the same as it had been for all other recent core algorithm updates.

June 2, 2019, June 2019 Core Update

On June 2, Google Search Liaison Danny Sullivan tweeted that Google would be releasing a new broad core algorithm update on June 3. The next day, Google confirmed the update was live and would be rolling out to its various data centers over the coming days. As is the case with any broad core algorithm update, Google tells us there is nothing specific to fix because a core update encompasses a broad range of factors.......READ MORE>>>

Toke Makinwa has taken to her social media to advice fans of reality TV star from the Big Brother Naija show to stop putting pressure on their favourite housemates.

According to her post;

Been so long since I aired my thoughts on social issues cos I'm busy building my empire but you BBrotherNaija fans really need to stop tripping and putting so much pressure on your favourite housemates..

You guys are causing more harm than good, stop putting them against each other, the show is over let them focus on building their lives, this type of constant competition causes depression, just quit already, You can support your favourite housemate outside the house without fighting and insulting yourselves or other housemates, get your own lives on and leave them to fight this new phase, we are all tired.

The industry is hard as it is, they are not yet even in the industry, all the noise does not bring success, it doesn;t help anyone. Ask the other housemates, some of them had to start from scratch, let people focus and do what they need to do to really succeed.

Tacha to Kemi Olunloyo “Madam Ex-convict, You Need Therapy” Controversial Journalist Reveals Message Sent to her

Posted: 24 Nov 2019 01:00 AM PST

Kemi Olunloyo has alleged that Tacha sent her insulting words in a message she received in her DM hours ago.

Kemi posted a screenshot of the message with claims that it was Tacha who hid under an anonymous account to send the message to her.

The message reads;

"All you couldn't achieve for over 50years on Earth, Tacha has achieved it at just 23, so yes, you need to be mad. Ex convict you need therapy. I care about you Mrs ex convict that's why I'm telling you. You are so jobless with no shame at all".


Reacting to Tacha's alleged message to her, Kemi Olunloyo wrote her an open letter, which reads;

"Tacha sent me this with a FAKE ACCOUNT. Her location was turned on so I was able by to track her SIM. Same way Instagram tracked the newstip that sent me to prison from Iyabo's NGO phone by an estranged PA.

Remember IG is a phone app🙃. Tacha has BLOCKED ME on Instagram and Twitter on orders of her manager @teebillz323. I'm really crying 😭my eyes out now that I can't comment on her post.😔😔 The fact remains that Industry people are waiting for her to FAIL woefully with Tunji.

I never wish bad luck on anyone but sources inside Akide's camp said they did not like how I was skooling her up and down about drunk driving, endorsement versus partnership advert yesterday. Tunji is not enlightened on these things and it's making her look bad.

I don't manage people but I'm a terrific Publicist with a US/CDN reputation. I have worked alongside record labels and management for big Celebrities. Tacha, look at what I said about bread girl Jumoke in 2014 and what happened to her management after, even her marriage. She had to leave and get a new team. Know how you are being represented.

You are not making money, you should be! People around you are making YOUR money. Why haven't I seen you on a single TV appearance or MSM??? Managers are not Publicists. I have my own clients and one thing you need to know is that you need good media relations. You are packed full of ideas and more that opening your front door in a nightgown to receive a liquor brand is not the end of the world.

Look how long it took Tunji to unravel your partnership with Ciroc. Look at Mercy's video produced by Elo in a bar scene. Alcohol delivered to your door in a nightie versus Classy Mercy walking into a bar. I love you both. Only interested in taking you both International. Nigerian Women can take over the world. Your media rounds should have started the moment you were Disqualified.

I'm not trying to bring Tunji down as I have given you both useful PR tips worth $2M even priceless. Go ask Naira Marley's team on how you they got FREE PR tips from me. See him everywhere now. Finally clear your TOXIC fans and tell them love speaks love leads."
