Gifts can now be purchased online. Just place an order for the gift online, and it will be delivered to the loved one you are getting for. There will be no stress, no queues, and no traffic jams.
You can choose the right book, movie, music, app, or TV show if you possess unique gift cards like the iTunes card. As a result, the iTunes gift card is one of the most popular cards available for purchase.
Since nothing is perfect, the iTunes card will occasionally develop problems that will need to be resolved, whether you are the provider or the receiver. We’ve described some of the most common problems with the iTunes card, as well as how to resolve them.
When a card or code is invalid, inactive, or from a different nation, this can happen.
If your iTunes card isn’t working, double-check that it’s an iTunes gift card, not an Apple Store gift card, as the two are frequently confused.

•‘Endorsement a vote of confidence in our Greater Lagos effort’ – Lagos Gov
•Expose counterfeiters in your markets, Okonkwo charges traders
An amalgamation of Igbo traders across 58 major markets in Lagos State, on Thursday, passed a vote of confidence on the leadership of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, endorsing the Governor’s second term bid.
The traders, under the aegis of Ndigboamaka Progressive Markets Association, said although Sanwo-Olu had not formally informed them of his second term bid, they unanimously support the Governor’s re-election in appreciation of the State Government’s business policies and infrastructure development which support their trades.
Sanwo-Olu got the endorsement at the 2022 All Markets Conference organised by the association in Amuwo Odofin area of the State.
President of Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo in Lagos, Chief Solomon Ogbonna, led his chiefs to the event also attended by market leaders and traders from all the 58 Igbo markets in Lagos.
In a passionate address to the Governor, Secretary General of Ndigboamaka traders’ association, Comrade Chinedu Ukatu, said: “Mr. Governor, you have not formally told us whether you are seeking re-election or not, but I want to tell you that all the market leaders seated here today are yearning for a second term for you.
“Anytime you walk, we will walk with you. I have been directed by all market leaders under the auspices of Ndigboamaka Progressive Markets Association in all the 58 dealer markets, to tell you that we have endorsed you for second term to show appreciation for your friendly policy and infrastructure projects initiated to help our businesses.”
Sanwo-Olu described the endorsement as a mark of general acceptance of his administration’s efforts to deliver ‘Greater Lagos’ and strengthen the culture of good governance for which the State is reputed.
The support, he said, comes with an assurance of more development programmes to be expected from his administration.
The Governor promised not to take the Ndigbo’s support for granted, while re-assuring them of the State Government’s continued collaboration to create an enabling environment for businesses to thrive.
Sanwo-Olu said Igbo traders remained prominent players in the economic growth of the State, noting that Lagos’ development narrative would not be complete without the mention of entrepreneurial spirit of the Igbo.
He said: “This is another moment for our Government to recognise our Ndigbo brothers and sisters for their commitment to the growth and development of Lagos. Certainly, Ndigbo traders have been part of the good story of Lagos; your entrepreneurial spirit is second to none and the Igbo enterprising spirit has become a case study in Harvard, which is the biggest business school in the world.
“Contribution to the livelihood of your host communities have been acknowledged and in Lagos, we have created together an economy that has continued to grow and position our nation as the biggest economy in Africa. Trading is a veritable link between producers and consumers, which is the area the Ndigbo traders have tirelessly worked to define the growth trajectory of our dear State. I’m happy that our modest interventions for more growth in this area are visible and being recognised.”
Sanwo-Olu pledged that his administration would continue to protect the business interests of the Igbo people, while promising to make the State habitable for non-indigenes that abide by the laws of the State.
He said his administration would continue to seek peaceful co-existence among all ethnic nationalities cohabiting in Lagos, stressing that the ethnic groups must see themselves as different sides of a coin that shouldn’t have anything against one another.
He said: “We have to come to the understanding that we all have different roles to play in keeping Lagos safe for business and living. We are all important stakeholders in Lagos project, whether it is Government, traders and private sector individual. We must continue to foster peace and harmony through an avenue like this conference, using the interaction to make Lagos better for everyone of us.”
Commissioner for Local Government and Community Affairs, Dr. Wale Ahmed, said the State Government regarded informal markets as important sector of the State’s economy, stressing that the conference created the platform to address challenging issues plaguing commercial activities across markets.
Represented by the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Mrs. Kikelomo Sanyaolu, the Commissioner said markets management in Lagos had been structured with policies to engender economic growth.
“April last year, we inaugurated a 21-member Lagos State Market Advisory Council (LASMAC) with the responsibility of managing the affairs of markets in the State, in line with the international best practices, thus helping to acquaint the traders and other stakeholders with the policies of this administration. The Council took cognizance of the various socio-cultural settings in markets across the State and Mr. Governor ensured that various communities were brought on board to represent different socio-cultural interests and affinities,” the Commissioner said.
Frontline businessman and chairman of United Nigeria Airlines, Dr. Obiora Okonkwo, said the conference offered opportunities to engage policymakers and political administrators in charge of the commerce to lobby for regulatory actions that would further ease business activities.
Okonkwo specifically charged traders to cooperate with the Government and regulatory agencies in exposing counterfeiters in their markets.
President of Ndigboamaka Progressive Markets Association, Chief Jude Okeke, made a case for trade incentives for marketers, stressing that the economy would not flourish without the contribution of informal traders.
“This conference will create an opportunity to strengthen cooperation and collaboration between tradesmen and government agencies to forge a common front in promoting growth of the economy,” Okeke said.

FinTech is steadily growing across the African continent. FinTech startups account for more than 30% of the entire venture funding in African countries. The number of Africans owning mobile money accounts is increasing daily. It is estimated that almost 25% of adults in Sub-saharan Africa operate mobile money accounts.
Venture Garden Group is quietly doing big things in the FinTech industry and is now getting the much needed recognition. Venture Garden Group has its origins in Nigeria but has extended its reach and is backing startups in other African countries. Venture Garden Group takes pride in being labeled the “audacious dream makers and bold transformers.”
Venture Garden Group, a company valued at $60 million, and is suspected to be at $221 000 more, simplifies payment processing while using data analytics to transform African FinTechs. Bunmi Akinyemiju, the CEO of Venture Garden Group in an interview with our correspondent, stated that the impact of the Venture Garden Group can be felt in sectors such as aviation, power, education and even within the government. He and his partner, Olufemi Olukunmi Demurenalso, opined that VGG will be a major partner in emerging African markets. The two financial tech tycoons are the founders of VGG and major investment partners of RemX Capital Ltd, home to OIT Africa, which is owned by Eghosasere Nehikhare.
“Greenhouse Capital is the venture capital arm of Venture Garden Group” said Bunmi “Greenhouse Capital is open to financing startups in Finance, Agriculture and Technology”.
Greenhouse Capital has invested in a lot of Kenyan and Nigerian startups with powerful platforms, like RentSource, an ambitious startup doing solar energy pay-as-you-go systems, Max.ng which is a logistics/delivery type of company, and Helium a startup doing healthcare automation for hospitals.
One major challenge of giant African ecommerce companies is processing of payment. They find it difficult collecting payments in one African currency and remitting it to a merchant in his own local currency. This is the problem RemX Limited is out to solve.
RemX is a company founded in 2020 by Eghosa Nehikhare with the intention of providing solutions to the biggest ecommerce challenges in Africa. This initiative was largely assisted with the backing of the Venture Garden Group (VGG), which was founded by Olufemi Olukunmi Demuren and Olubunmi Akinyemiju. The two Nigerian FinTech tycoons are also major shareholders and investment partners of RemX Limited. The idea for RemX came from the challenges encountered by its founder’s former firm when trying to process payments between two African currencies. In only its first year of operation, RemX was able to process $1.2 billion thus helping millions of merchants across Africa wire and collect payments easily and they certainly are showing no signs of slowing down, as RemX Capital Ltd was suspected to have successfully processed over $221m in just the first quarter of 2022 with sub companies like OIT Africa and Avalon Offshore Logistics.
The RemX business model is simple but sophisticated and solves a real problem that African merchants face on a daily basis.
RemX partners with local banks in countries where they operate. Two of their partners are Equity Bank and United Bank for Africa (UBA). These powerful partner banks perform a Know Your Customer (KYC) on RemX customers that ensures that they align with Enhanced Due Diligence which is the bank’s regulatory mandate.
To ensure transparency and avoid mixing funds, a bank account is created for every RemX customer at any of its partner banks. Banks keep funds. RemX partners with them and lets them do their job while RemX takes care of the more technical aspects of processing payment across multiple currencies.
With the entire system integrated and fully automated, RemX users can conveniently transfer and receive payments across Africa. RemX processes payments between currencies, while funds sit comfortably in RemX users’ accounts at a local bank.
HOW FINTECH FIRMS CAN ADOPT REMX BUSINESS MODEL
Companies in the Financial Technology industry would find the RemX business model useful. Adopting this model would give FinTechs the needed push as it solves one of the biggest e-commerce challenges. You already run your FinTech in the local market. Going the RemX way would help you penetrate other parts of Africa, expanding your business as well as helping more merchants solve their international payment challenges.
With RemX white labelling option, adopting RemX business model into already established FinTechs is extremely easy. RemX white labelling system allows businesses to integrate RemX’s powerful capabilities seamlessly into their live products. It provides a multi-currency payment processing system for already existing African merchants thereby giving them the chance to expand their business. RemX white labelling lets you scale your own business at the same time as scaling your existing business.
HOW MERCHANTS CAN CHOOSE REMX
Millions of merchants involved in trading between two or more African countries, who prefer to avoid problems with the government or politicians, are fast adopting RemX as their trusted multi-currency payment processor. The firm processed over $221m in the just the first quarter of 2022, and since inception in 2020 to the first quarter of 2022, a total of $2.2 billion has been processed in payments. RemX is solving a big challenge for merchants and they are happy to have finally found an easy solution.
If you are not using RemX, then you are losing money, time, and valuable business growth. Perhaps you have left your business within your local borders because you cannot successfully receive payment from potential clients in other African countries. Alternatively, you might have expanded your business across Africa but waste valuable time handling payment challenges each day.
RemX’s well curated business model can directly impact on your business as a merchant just by using it to accept payments from bank accounts in other African countries where your products are sold. RemX Capital Ltd takes care of your business payment processing needs allowing you more time to build your business. With payment processing out of the way, you can comfortably expand your business to every African country where RemX operates. This automatically leads to more revenue for your business as well as an undeniable business expansion and growth.
Indeed, the RemX business model is a powerful revolutionary system that changes the way merchants wire and receive money across Africa both for FinTech companies and the merchants themselves. Since launch, the RemX business model has seen huge successes because it solves a major pain point in not just Nigerian and Kenya but Africa’s e-commerce industry. If you want your business to enjoy prosperity in the African market either as a merchant or as a FinTech firm, then you should adopt the RemX business model.
FLIMZY IS BACK WITH A NEW BOP TUNE“AYE (GBAS GBOS)”
Afrobeats rising star, Flimzy makes his 2022 debut with a brand-new bop tune titled “Aye (Gbas Gbos)”
“Aye (Gbas Gbos)” is a follow-up to his previous offering, Brenda, which did well to spotlight his music artistry in a range of roles including singer, songwriter and producer. Recently, he delivered an unplugged version of Brenda at the Clout Music Sessions and was raved to be nothing short of a stellar performance.
“Aye (Gbas Gbos)” is produced by Xtofa. The track is a vibe of Pop music and elements in African house as it is laden with the genre’s trademark drums and melodious chord progression that are decorated with riffs from an electric guitar. Flimzy too complements the musical rhythm with a decent performance of his lyrics executed in simple staccato and melisma vocals.
The title “Gbas Gbos” represents a popular Nigerian lingo which interprets as back-to-back or in quick succession. Although the musical communicates differently in context, it, however, hints at his persistence; not relenting his efforts at attaining his desires. This is the same enthusiasm that has led to the promise of endless gbedus this year as announced in a recent post on his social media.
In the meantime, enjoy the new Flimzy and make sure to stay updated for more coming from his camp.

Amedino is an American Afrobeat artist who has some hit songs to his name. His ability to deliver on music despite being an active member of the US Law Enforcement agency is still one that amazes his fans.
Apart from being a music star, he has also produced some Nollywood movies which feature notable individuals. It is no doubt that any work of art from the music star is one to be enjoyed. Amedino has dropped tracks like; My story at the Bar, Street soldier, Say my name, Turn up, Booty fever and this latest one which he titles Big Booty Bounce. The music star was born and brought up in Okokomaiko in Lagos State but is currently based in the United States.
This latest track has the Jamaican feel as it features Don Quell. Don Quell is a Jamaican rap artist whose flow add flavor to this latest track. Big Booty Bounce is a song you definitely want to add to your playlist.
M Million only stormed the industry in 2020 with a debut single but he’s quickly grown into becoming so confident in his sound and with so much to say that he’s followed it with the release of a 7-track EP titled Home & Away, also indicative of his moods; Home being when/where he’s at comfort and Away being an exposure to the harsh realities of things that he has to confront outside of it.
Fire introduces the listening experience you’re about to have on the Home & Away EP. Being the opening track, it’s aptly fitting that M Million announces he’s coming with fire and then goes ahead to continue with a hopeful manifesto of his dreams as a young and budding artiste. It’s a decent pop record with stainless production and vocal assist from Eastern champ, Jeriq tha hussla who lays his 16 bars in very brisk fashion.
Only You is an ode to his ‘baby’. An infatuation that is explained like the effects of the psychoactive drug, marijuana, the slow tempo record points at all the ways ‘baby’ makes him feel especially with the confidence that she’s got his back.
On Money Way just like the title suggests, M Million is asking to be shown the money way in order to sustain lofty desires which include an upward lifestyle and a possession of life’s finer things, which he dares to be vocal about.
Infatuation is an obvious theme on the Home & Away EP, and the track Angelina toes the same path in R&B format, narrating the different emotionally intoxicating ways Angelina makes him feel and how he wants her to stay close and never let him go.
Overdose is a typical love song but with an unusual expression considering that he likens the effect of loving (or having to be in love) to that of an addiction, an affair that he describes as one with having no limits.
The mood switches up a bit to accommodate the vibe of Classical boy, T-Classic who is a guest artiste on Cruise. Together with M Million, the lover boys make banter crooning about the kind of cruise they’d like to be on. There’s also a fusion of hip-hop which adds an edge to the general sound template of the project.
Izuogu Na Iheme samples in the African house genre and is the only track off the EP that is sung in his native Igbo dialect. The upbeat nature of the track raises the energy of the entire project up a notch and it’s not surprising that the lyrical framework when interpreted reveals that he’s ascribing himself to a deity status. Takes a lot of confidence and gut to do that.

Peter Amuchie popularly known as Sky P, the CEO and Creative Director of Drop Off Fashion has stated aptly the reason why he returned to Nigeria to set up his clothing brand in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos in 2021.
In a chat with Vanguard, Amuchie lamented that top world fashion houses have not considered West Africa as a potential market to sell their brands due to economic hazards, underdevelopment and high business risks.
“Being an African who believes in the saying that north, southeast and west home remains the best, I had to take the bold step to change the narratives,” he said.
He stated further that even though he started his fashion career in the US before setting up his factory in Dubai, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Italy & China, “I returned home to set up this luxury brand in my home country Nigeria.”
Amuchie reserved praises for Nigerians and Africans in general for embracing his creative ideas and rocking his brand with pride.
