What Features Should I Look for in Power Banks?AccordionItemContainerButtonThere are a few things worth thinking about when you’re shopping for a portable charger.The capacity of a power bank is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), but this can be a little misleading because the amount of power you get out depends on the cable you use, the device you’re charging, and the charging method (Qi wireless charging is less efficient).

It’s also produced some of contemporary cinema’s most captivating and puzzling imagery – from the talking animals of…

Set in the 19th-century kingdom of Okrika in the Niger delta, this Nollywood epic has a satisfying core of realpolitik and Kulturkampf that wouldn’t shame the likes of old-school classical-era equivalents such as Ben-Hur.
