Seasons Greetings to You and Yours. 😊 Brother Lanre, I noticed there's this game you're always playing. That particular one keeps you glued to your phone. Yes!! You enjoy it, right? Sam Sam, I've also noticed how that app you're using is making life easier for you. Especially that one you use to add extra features you were not so gifted to have. E sweet oo! But ehn, can you both tell me why you have sworn that you will not appreciate that game or app you're using? Lanre, Sam Sam, when will you finally drop that review that you've been postponing on that app? Yes, I'm talking to you. Every time the review option pops up, you wave it until later. Why? How much of your time will it take? I know some of you are already asking, "Why should I bother leaving a review?" Well, let me first ask you: why do you bother to give a review when your Uber ride refuses to on AC for you? If you don Gerrit, I won't let you forget about it, so let me explain. First, dropping a review helps the developers know what's working and what's not. It's like giving them a report card! "Hey, you got an A+ on gameplay but a C- on graphics." Second, your review helps others decide if they should download the app or game. It's like recommending a movie to your friends or Sam Sam. Do you think you're the only one who uses digital... advancements? Third, leaving a review can actually improve your own experience! Developers often respond to reviews and use them to make updates. It's like having a direct line to the creators, so use it, Lanre, and stop claiming the game is broken because you're losing. If they ask you to use your data and play, will you go offline and spend money to subscribe? Wahala. Then you'll still be stingy-koko with review, too? Ah ah, some people to do ooo. Please don't carry that bad character into 2025. So, could you drop that review today? I don't want to hear, drop it. Now, if you want to stay safe, don't forget to leave a review on this video.

A year to remember, A future to anticipate From all of us at #Techpression Media Limited, we’re taking a moment to celebrate how far we’ve come and share our gratitude with you. In just over two years, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Apantaku Pelumi, we’ve grown from an ambitious idea into one of #Africa’s best-performing technology media powerhouses. The journey hasn’t been without its challenges: national grid failures, fuel shortages, and unstable internet. But through it all, resilience, innovation, and teamwork have kept us moving forward. This year, we’ve hosted #TechnovateFest, bringing innovators, entrepreneurs, and tech enthusiasts together to spotlight Africa’s tech brilliance. Partnered with notable brands like Unicaf, Simba Group, Eforb Company Nigeria Ltd and many others to amplify impactful stories. Expanded our reach while staying rooted in the vision to tell #Africa’s tech stories by Africans for the world. Reflecting on these achievements, we remember that none would have been possible without you, our followers, partners, sponsors, advertisers, and our incredible team of thinkers and doers. As we look to 2025, we remain committed to driving conversations, solving problems, and empowering the next wave of #African innovators. From Dr Apantaku Pelumi and the #Techpression team, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Here’s to creating more magic together in the coming year. #Techpression #MerryChristmas #AfricaTech
