Book a Cab Online Now In Benin City


Max Cab A New Taxi Cab Web Application Recently Launched in Benin City.

You can now book a taxi cab in Benin City that will pick you up from your current location to your desired destination from the comfort of your home, office or hotel room using your desktop or mobile device. You will agree with me that except you have your personal car or driver, getting around in Benin City can be very difficult and frustrating . It is not as if there are no enough taxis or cabs in the city, but there is always a communication gap between taxi cab drivers and passengers who need a cab. 

While most taxi drivers spend a greater part of the day sitting idle waiting or looking for passengers, there are passengers in other locations who are badly in need of a taxi to pick them up. 
Maxcab decides to bridge these gap by providing a taxi booking application that connects taxi/cab drivers  and passengers, thus creating efficiency in the transportation industry, providing more jobs for taxi drivers, ease the way passengers book taxis and eliminate unneccesary delay.

The service which  is currently  running in Benin City, Nigeria is gradually gainning traction and hope to roll out to other cities in the coming months. If you are in Benin City or you are visiting Benin City, please try out the service at www.maxcab.com.ng.

The good thing about Maxcab is that cab you can register as a driver too. 

So why not stop stressing yourself to get a cab when Maxcab is here to make life easier.

Some blame Facebook algorithm for being responsible for the low organic reach of their post, but is Facebook really responsible for this?

In order to teach you how to increase your organic reach, I will be sharing an infographic with you?

Why I Think The Innjoo Halo Is A Sub-Standard Product

Recently i purchased two smartphones for review on my blog, a Gionee P5W and an Innjoo Halo. One of this phones which is the Gionee P5W got my heart but the other which is the Innjoo was not what i expected it to be and from my point of view it defied its specifications.

First thing i noticed was the look of the phone when i put it on, the graphics looked dull and blurred.
I plugged this phone to charge up and for 30minutes this phone just had an added 2% to the battery life. This phone took me about 5hours for a full charge and using the phone while charging is a big no because it discharges instead of charging. The battery life is very short. On asking another blogger who also got this phone for a review he said he wasn't satisfied with the battery performance.

Another issue i had with this phone was the camera, it was supposed to be a 5.0mp camera at the back and a 3.0mp camery at the front but the 5.0mp of my innjoo halo couldn't be compared to that of my Gionee P5W. From pictures i took with it, it looked more like i took the pictures from a 2.0mp back camera. The quality of the pictures was below expectation and the camera looked dark. The flashlight is also poor.

The above reasons are while i feel this product is substandard. Despite that this phone is cheap i think it is sub-standard because it defies its specifications.

Get 4.5GB Data For As Low As 1500naira On Airtel

We all agree that the purchasing data bundles in Nigeria now is very expensive and even when you purchase a particular data plan it is insufficient to satisfy your needs. For instance, some people love streaming videos, some like downloading games with large file size while some have to be online always because of their business, but the data plan cant satisfy our desires.

Today i am going to share with you how to get 4.5gb data on your Airtel sim for as low as 1,500naira. Airtel recently launche the 5times recharge package that gives you free data and airtime for every recharge and for recharging 1,500 you get a free 1.5gb data with you credit untouched. Now the question is "How do i get this data?". To get this data simply load your recharge card using this pin *555*Recharge pin# and you automatically get your free data.

 Now the next thing is to dial this code *440*16# to get the remaining 3gb data which costs 1500naira and this sums up your total data to 4.5GB.

To check your data bundle balance simply dial *556# for the 5times recharge data and *123*9# for the other data.

Dangers Of Using A Free Web Host

Using a free web host may seem very attractive and entising in the aspect of economy but taking a closer look at it, it is very dangerous and can cost your business a lot.

Most webmasters and netpreneurs this days don't think of the dangers of a free web host, the just look at the aspect of it being free and they don't have to pay annualy or upgrade hosting plan without knowing that there is more to a free host than it just being free.

Disadvantages of free web host:

Uptime Is Not Guaranteed:
When Using a free web host your site possess the tendency to go off at any point in time due to congested server, this Minute your site is on and within a jiffy it is off.
This mess could turn off your visitors and you discover you begin to lose visitors. An in this case you have no say because you are not paying for the service.

•No Support Service:
When you begin to face various technical problem like in the issue of uptime there is no one to contact. No customer service, No submission of support ticket etc. You just have to face your problem alone without knowing when the problem will be resolved or if it will ever be resolved.

•Irrelevant Adverts:
A fre web host is also a commercial site with which the owner wants to use to make his/her money so in this case they setup irrelevant ads on your site as a form of monetization for their gain. And this ads can crumble your brand or take away most of your customers. For Example: Imagine a free webhost placing ads of another bulk SMS site on Naira for SMS, this is definitely going to take away most of its customers and you don't have control over the ads that is being displayed and much pop up and adverts to contribute in turning off visitors/ customers.

•Business Presentation:
It will definitely look awful if you present a business site on a subdomain. Take for example (kaesynwosu.freewebhost.com). It doesn't speak well of your business. A free web host is never going to provide you a custom domain rather they will prefer you stay on their subdomain and at times if you try to park a custom domain to it you begin to see a custom error page. And you may also experience problem with SEO because when you try to submit your site to directories you may be rejected because you are on a subdomain.

•Feature Limits
A free web host has limits to the service it can offer you. For example a free webhost doesn't have softaculous for installing CMS. You just have an auto installer section where you have limited number of installs.

•Bandwith Limit
Free web host can Never offer you unlimited bandwith and diskspace. Some may claim to offer unlimed bandwith but that's a big NO they just say that to entise you and make you start using their service. So it may get to a point where you exceed the limit and your site may be put offline.

The only benefit of a free web host is just its being FREE so you see you cannot compare the advantage to the disadvantages. The disadvantages out number the advantage. So it is advisable for you to go for a paid hosting plan if you want to enlarge your blog or commercial website or you have the aim of one day turning your website to your future job.

Recommeded Paid Hosting Companies:
In conclusion I will recommend some paid hosting companies that are tested and trusted and offer best of services including proper support service.
#1. iPage
#2. Godaddy
#3. BlueHost
#4. NameCheap
#5. Domainking

So which would you prefer To pay and get all features or stay free and get limited features?
