Legendary Nigerian guitarist, Berkley Ike Jones of the defunct BLO is dead. Berkeley Ike Jones died weeks to his 72nd birthday. He died last night, June 28, in Asaba where he went for a job. Ike first appeared on the Nigerian music scene in the mid-1960s, as the drummer in the Port Harcourt-based teen pop group The Figures.

The group was one of Nigeria’s most res...

They may also be forced to give consumers a choice over whether to receive personalized advertising, and they won’t be able to place restrictions on customers that make it difficult for them to use rival platforms.    The DMU, which will be part of the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), will start work in April 2021.   The government said the DMU may be given the power to suspend, block and reverse decisions made by large tech companies. The DMU could a...
