U.S. President Donald Trump watching this address tonight have seen the recent images of violence in our streets and the chaos in our communities. Many have witnessed this violence personally, some have even been its victims. I have a message for all of you: the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon – and I mean very soon – come to an end.” These were the words of Donald Trump, not in May 2020 but July 2016, as he accepted the Republican presidential nomination at the national convention in Cleveland. For many observers, there was a distinct echo of Richard Nixon’s 1968 acceptance speech – “We see cities enveloped in smoke and flame” – and a foreboding that history could take a newly dark and dangerous turn. For three years, the first president elected without political or military experience rode his luck and skirted past disaster. In the fourth year, the fates demanded payback. Not even Trump’s harshest critics can blame him for a virus believed to have ...

Apple was one of the first manufacturers to offer a subscription service for phone upgrades, allowing users to get the latest iPhone for one flat monthly fee.  Samsung offered a similar program too, and it’s now offering an all-new upgrade program called Samsung Access (h/t: XDA-Developers ). So how does it differ from the legacy Samsung Phone Upgrade Program , then? The Samsung Access initiative includes a number of perks aside from being able to upgrade your phone. These perks include Premium Care protection and support, and Microsoft 365 Personal (including 1TB of OneDrive storage and premium Office apps). There are a few caveats though, as you need to return your current device before upgrading. Furthermore, you can only upgrade after a minimum of nine months, and you can only cancel after three months. Want to upgrade or cancel earlier than that? Then you’ll need to splash out $100, Samsung says. Editor's Pick Samsung Galaxy S20 buyer’s guide: Everything you n...

It’s no longer news that BBnaija’s ex-housemates Tacha and Mercy find it hard to get along. (no wonder Tacha recently made a funny video responding “I don’t know” when asked if she fought in the recent big brother “pepper dem” season 4 reunion) It was a disagreement between these two ex-housemates that led to Tacha’s disqualification from the house and Mercy being penalised (although she later went on to win the season becoming the first ever female to win any BBnaija season) Fast forward to present day and Tacha isn’t letting up on Mercy. The Port Harcourt-born beauty took to her instagram to share a video which was supposed to be a promotion for her upcoming product. She however decided to throw in a little shade by saying “while some people will be talking in the rubbish, our product will be selling”.

Nigerian media personality Tope Delano has taken to social media to share her thoughts on singer Seyi Shay claiming she was hacked. According to Delano, it made no sense that the singer lied that she was hacked after a raunchy photo of her surfaced online.

As such, we thought we’d put together a list of the best movies to watch during the lockdown as chosen by us, the staff here at Android Authority .

Instead, these are just our favorite lockdown movies for watching while trapped at home with no particular theme. Related: How to work from home and find balance during lockdown We did have two criteria for our picks, though: the movie needed to be currently streaming on a popular platform and it needed to be something pretty much anyone would enjoy. As such, you won’t find any arthouse fare or g...
