Tiwa Savage has finally released her fifth studio album titled Celia and it is an undeniably solid project filled with a number of bangers. The album boasts 12 tracks that fuse both Afropop and R&B—the Nigerian superstar's signature sound. Tiwa Savage is coming for it all this year with epic collaborations with international artists Sam Smith, Davido, Stefflon Don and Naira Marley.

QInvesting in stocks has always been touch-and-go for Nigerians, both at home and in diaspora. A typical tale of the-more-you-look, the-less-you-see, many Nigerians have experiences – both real and imagined – of how they have lost some money in the stock market. Amidst all of these, startups offering an opportunity to invest in foreign or local stocks have the problem of trust to deal with, before they can successfully break into the market. Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Chaka, Tosin Osibodu, said this was a major challenge for Chaka when it launched in 2019. Tosin was a guest on Nairametrics’ Business Half Hour radio programme where he explained that with Chaka, investing in foreign stocks have become a more knowledgeable and transparent process that enables investors to make informed choices. Chaka, as Tosin describes it, is a gateway that allows Nigerians to easily invest in local and foreign stocks, and also allows those in diaspora to invest in local stocks. first ban

If the Fed adopts this new strategy, it could keep interest rates near zero for five years or more, according to a Bloomberg report. The abundant liquidity is likely to drive asset prices higher across the board and create bubbles that will eventually burst. If this occurs, investors are likely to lose complete faith in the central banks and fiat currencies. Daily cryptocurrency market performance. Source: Coin360 Daily cryptocurrency market performance.

If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is this: No one can survive with one source of income. Also, it is unwise to blindly throw your money into any type of investment. You need something solid, a pandemic-proof opportunity. This explains why many young Nigerians have been looking seriously into the forex trading sector. It is, afterall, the biggest and most liquid market in the world. And anyone can trade at any time, from the comfort and privacy of their smart gadgets. However, many wonder if it isn’t counterculture. People can’t quite agree on the morality of making a living from speculating about the rise of the dollar against the pound sterling or the Nigerian naira. And if you have a low appetite for risk, you probably want to be sure that Forex trading is legal in Nigeria. But before we address this concern, let’s look at a brief definition of Forex trading.

The opening of the album makes that clear, before anything else.

As the monthly candle close of Bitcoin (BTC) comes closer, signs of heightened volatility are emerging. With just four days until the highly anticipated expiration of Chicago Mercantile Exchange futures contracts and Deribit options, BTC’s near-term direction remains uncertain. Three reasons to expect a spike in volatility over the next week are BTC’s prolonged consolidation, a key resistance level overhead, and the sizable expirations of BTC futures and options contracts. Bitcoin consolidates for nearly a week On Aug. 17, the price of Bitcoin surged to as high as $12,486 on Coinbase, achieving a new yearly high. Since then, the price has consolidated within a tight range and been unable to break above $12,000 again. When Bitcoin consolidates for extended periods without clear price movement to either direction, it tends to see high volatility. Since Aug. 19, the Bitcoin price has stayed within a 4.5% range, which presents a tight range for BTC. BTC/USD nears a crucial support BTC/USD
