Daily Post Nigeria Pioneers of Innovation: TECNO’s 2024 achievements that redefined the future of smartphone excellence Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport Sponsored Pioneers of Innovation: TECNO’s 2024 achievements that redefined the future of smartphone excellence Published on December 16, 2024 By Daily Post Staff In 2024, TECNO’s excellence was marked by notable industry recognitions that reflected its commitment to collaboration, innovation, and consumer engagement. It began in July with the Force of Collaboration Award at the TrendUpp Awards, spotlighting TECNO’s deep ties with creators, key opinion leaders (KOLs), and digital influencers. Rather than a one-off achievement, this award symbolised a sustained approach to partnerships that drive shared growth. By September, TECNO’s momentum intensified with double wins at the Marketing Edge Awards—Outstanding Smartphone Brand of the Year and Outstanding New Product of the Year for the trailblazing TECNO CAMON 30. The TECNO CAMON 30’s win emphasised TECNO’s drive for delivering user-centric design and groundbreaking product excellence, solidifying its place at the forefront of smartphone innovation. October brought another moment of glory with TECNO being crowned Most Outstanding Smartphone Brand in Consumer Engagement at the Brandcom Awards. This recognition, earned in the public sphere, validated TECNO’s approach to immersive activations and interactive consumer experiences. But it wasn’t just about performance—TECNO’s design prowess was equally celebrated. The CAMON 30 won a Platinum Award at the Muse Design Awards, while the PHANTOM V Fold and PHANTOM V Flip secured Gold Awards at the French Design Awards. These accolades underscored TECNO’s ability to balance aesthetics with functionality, ensuring their devices perform well and feel exceptional in users’ hands. While awards recognised excellence, partnerships built connections. TECNO’s collaboration with the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Côte d’Ivoire went beyond sponsorship, offering fans immersive watch parties across Nigeria and a deeper connection to the tournament. But TECNO’s impact stretched beyond the pitch, with a pledge to renovate 100 football pitches across Africa. The first of these, located in Lagos, is nearing completion, providing young footballers a space to nurture their talent and chase their dreams. In entertainment and technology, TECNO’s footprint grew even larger. The brand’s sponsorship of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) empowered filmmakers, supporting the Best Cinematographer category and inspiring creative storytelling with tools like the TECNO CAMON 30. On Nigerian Idol Season 9, TECNO championed emerging music stars, blending technology with creativity. Pop culture took a bold turn with TECNO’s partnership with the Transformers franchise, resulting in the release of the striking TECNO SPARK 30 Pro Transformers Edition. The magic of technology also found its way into reality TV with TECNO’s partnership with Big Brother Naija (BBN), where the brand engaged housemates with two immersive tasks while offering viewers a chance to win big. Meanwhile, collaborations with Google and MTN ensured users enjoyed advanced app functionality and exclusive access to 5G-enabled devices, complete with data deals that connected them at high speeds. Looking back, TECNO’s 2024 journey is one of purpose, progress, and people. It’s a story of how a brand can move from being a product maker to a partner in experiences. As 2025 beckons, one thing is certain—TECNO’s brilliance isn’t a moment in time. It’s a movement, and it’s far from over.

It’s been a long road back to the highest levels of motorsport for Canadian driver Robert Wickens. Six years after he was paralyzed in a violent wreck, Wickens will again be behind the wheel against some of the best drivers in North America. Wickens, from Guelph, Ont., was named the newest driver for DXDT Racing earlier this week, moving the 35-year-old up to IMSA GTD competition for 2025, the highest class on the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship series. His promotion was made possible by a new hand control braking system created by Bosch Electronics, with help from GM Motorsports and Corvette Racing/Pratt Miller. “It’s not going to be easy but I wanted to get to the highest levels of motorsport again because, frankly, that’s where I was when I was injured,” said Wickens, who crashed at Pocono Raceway in 2018 during IndyCar’s ABC Supply 500. “But not only that, I want to prove to myself and other generations of people with disabilities that you can really do anything. “Maybe you’re having a hard time getting back to your place of work after a life-altering accident and — whatever your discipline, it doesn’t even have to be athletics — but I know it’s possible as long as you align yourself with a strong support system.” For Wickens, that’s been his wife Karli Wickens, his family and, in his professional life, organizations like Bosch and GM. Wickens’s crash left him with a thoracic spinal fracture, a neck fracture, tibia and fibula fractures to both legs, fractures in both hands, a fractured right forearm, a fractured elbow, four fractured ribs, a pulmonary contusion, and an indeterminate spinal injury that combined to make him a paraplegic. As he has slowly recovered some movement in his legs, Wickens has eased back into motor racing. He drove the parade lap of the 2019 Honda Indy Toronto, competed in the IndyCar iRacing Challenge during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, and then in January 2022 it was announced he would drive in the Michelin Pilot Challenge for Bryan Herta Autosport. He and co-driver Mark Wilkins won twice in the Michelin Pilot Challenge’s TCR category with three podiums in 2022. In 2023 the pairing didn’t win, but they reached the podium seven times to earn the TCR championship. All of Wickens’s post-accident cars have been fitted with hand controls. Those conventional systems rely on paddles around the steering wheel that activate pneumatics that then press the foot pedals. Hand controls like that are acceptable for regular road vehicles and even lower levels of motorsports but in the highest classes, like IMSA GTD where cars top out at more than 280 kilometres, the lag between the driver toggling the paddle and the car responding is unacceptably slow. That’s where the Bosch electronic system comes in, with the controls linked directly to the car’s braking system, removing the pneumatics as an intermediary. “When you hit the brakes to slow the car down for each corner that was always a big challenge for me where (with) the Bosch electronic system, the latency is milliseconds not tenths of a second,” said Wickens. “It’s basically as accurate as I would be if I was an able-bodied driver wanting to apply the brake. “Honestly, it’s just better in every facet imaginable. It’s just been a true blessing.” Advances in physical rehabilitation from spinal cord injuries as well as the ongoing development of vehicle technology has made Wickens’s return to competitive motorsport possible. “I’m very fortunate in the timing of my paralysis and my career,” Wickens said Wednesday from Tampa, Fla. “If this was even a decade ago we’d be having a very different conversation today.” The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship has four classes of vehicles: two sports prototype categories and two grand tourer classes. GTD is considered the highest of the four classes because each team must have at least a silver or bronze driver and more than one platinum-rated driver on a team is prohibited. “I want to win,” said Wickens. “I think the big thing for me on this journey back was I wanted to race again because I truly felt like I could still win. “I want to raise awareness for spinal cord injury and disability, not by just being a participant, but by being the guy. I want to win races, fight for podiums, win championships, every time I’m sitting in the car.” Wickens said he won’t just be a role model for people living with paralysis or other mobility disabilities, but the technology his car will employ in 2025 will likely become commercially available for use in road vehicles. “Motorsports and the automotive racing industry were founded to be a proving ground for everyday automotive vehicles,” he said. “From there you make road cars and road safety better. “Hopefully we can provide the technology and have regularly available components that can make any race car accessible for anyone that needs hand controls or any other form of disability.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 27, 2024.

What's New? There are indications that Russia is securing its Syrian bases amid concerns that Russian presence in the region may not last after the fall of former Syrian President Bashar Assad. A convoy of Russian military vehicles was seen on the highway heading toward Tartous, Syria, on Monday. Why It Matters At Russia's Hmeimim air base in the Syrian coastal province of Latakia, planes were seen landing and taking off while smoke rose from inside the base. Hmeimim has a significant Russian military presence, and many of the shops bear signs in Russian. A fighter guarding the shuttered civilian airport next to the Hmeimim base, who gave only his nickname, Abu Saif, said Monday, "The Russians are preparing to withdraw from Syria, God willing." Russia has had a long presence in the region, since its scorched-earth intervention on behalf of Assad which once turned the tide of the Syrian civil war. But its presence in Syria is unclear after opposition forces took control of the country in a shock offensive last month. Russia largely stood aside in the takeover, though it did provide asylum to former president Assad and his family. What to Know Russian forces have already pulled out of some areas of Syria . In southern Syria, Russian forces were seen withdrawing on Friday toward their base in the city of Latakia. Russian forces were leaving bases in Ain Issa and Tel Al-Samn in the Al-Raqqah countryside, according to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights on Thursday. Cargo planes at a Russian military airfield in Syria were shown in satellite images released by Maxar Technologies on Friday, with their nose cones opened to receive heavy equipment, along with helicopters being dismantled and prepared for transport. Hmeimim Russian Air Base The Hmeimim air base and the Tartous naval base were offered to Russia on a free lease of 49 years in 2017. It was the Hmeimim air base that Assad said he fled to on December 8 after insurgents stormed the capital, according to his first public statement on Monday since he was ousted. He said in the statement that he hadn't planned to flee the country. After the base was attacked by drones, the Russians decided to evacuate him to Russia. There have not been any clashes between Russian troops and the former insurgents since Assad fled the country. What People Are Saying Obeida Arnaout, spokesman for the political department of the new transitional government, urged Russia on Monday to reconsider its military presence in Syria while leaving the door open for the possibility of Russian forces remaining. "I think that Russia should reconsider its presence on Syrian territory as well as its interests," Arnaout said in an interview. "Their interests were linked to the criminal Assad regime. They can reconsider and take the initiatives to reach out to the new administration to show that they have no animosity toward the Syrian people, and that the era of Assad regime is finally over." Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed during a call with reporters on Monday that Moscow was engaging in talks with the new Syrian authorities. "We are in contact with representatives of the forces that are currently in control of the situation in the country, and all of this will be determined in the course of dialogue," Peskov said. What Happens Next Russia has reached out to the new Syrian authorities to try to ensure the security of its bases and extend its forces' stay. The three-starred flag of the Syrian revolution was hoisted at the Syrian Embassy in Moscow. This article includes reporting from The Associated PressNoneNone

Then, about an hour later, Martínez exhibited quite why he is held in such high esteem, not that Aston Villa supporters required a reminder. Martínez’s fantastic, impulsive save to thwart Francisco Conceição midway through the second half denied Juventus the chance to seize the lead. Goalline technology showed Martínez kept the ball out by a few millimetres, a shaving of the starry Champions League ball remaining on and not over the Villa goalline. Juventus, regulars on this stage compared to Villa, got the point they probably deserved. The Juventus captain, Manuel Locatelli, stuck out a left boot to prevent John McGinn from converting a Leon Bailey cutback and in the first half Lucas Digne rattled the crossbar with a free-kick from the edge of the box. For Villa, a draw against the Serie A team will surely be seen as credible, but Unai Emery’s side are now winless in seven matches. The last time Villa went seven games without a win was under Dean Smith four years ago, when they – just about – escaped relegation, when McGinn and Ezri Konsa, an unused substitute here, were in the starting lineup. Emery has not gone seven games without a win since being dismissed by Arsenal in November 2019, a defeat at home to Eintracht Frankfurt, when Martínez was in goal for Emery, the final straw of a difficult run. Emery went six games without a win at the end of last season, when qualification for this competition had been rubber-stamped. For Villa, there is no need to panic, but a tricky run could feasibly be extended to eight matches by the time they head home from Chelsea on Sunday. On the eve of this game the Juventus manager, Thiago Motta, accused Unai Emery of bluffing after his Villa counterpart, who was Motta’s coach in the twilight of his career at Paris Saint-Germain, suggested he would be happy with a point. Motta insisted it was a poker face on Emery’s part and perhaps because Juventus arrived here so light on numbers. Juventus flew to England with a 17-man squad, minus Dusan Vlahovic, their star striker. Douglas Luiz, who has struggled since swapping Birmingham for Turin, was absent from the team sheet because of a muscle injury. The Serie A club named six substitutes, two of which were goalkeepers. Villa, meanwhile, welcomed back Boubacar Kamara into the base of midfield and Emery pushed John McGinn forward into a role behind Ollie Watkins. Morgan Rogers operated off the left flank. There was the familiar rally cry from Emery in his programme notes at the prospect of another memorable evening against a European superpower, even if their reputation has faded so slightly in recent years. Regardless of Juventus’s rich and storied past and Emery was adamant Villa had to be much improved to take anything from the game. Leon Bailey made a fast start, cutting in off the right flank to fire a shot at goal but this match was stodgy for almost all 46 first-half minutes. Villa’s frustrations were typified by the moment Youri Tielemans, the recipient of an early yellow card, was left hopping on the spot after the line to Watkins was snipped by an alert Federico Gatti in the Juventus defence.

Until Watkins registered the first shot on target, spinning in the box after seamlessly latching on to Kamara’s cannoned effort. Watkins swivelled neatly and sent a left-foot shot at goal off his laces, forcing the Juventus goalkeeper, Di Gregorio, into a fine save. From the leftovers of the subsequent corner Matty Cash saw a stinging effort blocked. Lucas Digne bent a free-kick on to the crossbar after Pierre Kalulu, a walking yellow card, was eventually booked by the referee for crunching Watkins. At the other end Francisco Conceição moseyed down the right flank before squeezing a weak shot at the near post, allowing Martínez to gather comfortably. Conceição was busy and proved difficult to get to grips with, his cross a few minutes into the second half the trigger for a handball shout against Pau Torres. Juventus hounded in packs. Khéphren Thuram sent a shot wide after Teun Koopmeiners shifted the ball infield after seizing on a loose pass by Bailey, who was almost punished for his high-wire act in keeping the ball in on the opposite touchline.Juventus’s big chance dropped on 65 minutes. Koopmeiners’s corner zoomed towards the back post, Conceição eluded Rogers and headed goalwards unmarked. For a split second, the Portuguese appeared to peel away in celebration, before realising Martínez had somehow prevented his header from going over the line. The goalkeeper plunged down to his right to repel the ball with his right glove, goalline technology showing he did just enough. Villa supporters crooned Martínez’s name in unison. Three minutes of second-half stoppage time had been and gone when Morgan Rogers thought he had snatched victory with surely the final kick. Teun Koopmeiners conceded a cheap foul on halfway, allowing Villa one last chance to pump the ball into the box. Diego Carlos rose to challenge the Juventus goalkeeper, Michele Di Gregorio, in pursuit of the high ball but it ran free and Rogers simply hooked the ball into an empty net. A VAR review apparently penalised the Villa centre-back. As Carlos headed down the tunnel, he offered the Spanish referee, Jesús Gil Manzano, a filthy look.Dialogue held to advance Chongqing's integration into green and low-carbon development of BRI
Deal on Elgin Marbles ‘still some distance’ away, says George OsborneORLANDO, Fla. — UCF coach Gus Malzahn is resigning after four seasons with the school. ESPN’s Pete Thamel was the first to report the move, which will see Malzahn to leave to take the offensive coordinator job at Florida State. Malzahn previously worked with FSU coach Mike Norvell during their time at Tulsa under then-coach Todd Graham from 2007-08. The Knights ended a disappointing 4-8 season in which they lost eight of their last nine games, the longest losing streak since 2015. Malzahn, 59, was in the fourth year of a contract through 2028. His buyout, it is reported, would have been $13.75 million. He finished 27-25 at UCF but lost 16 of his last 22 games and was a dismal 4-14 in two seasons in the Big 12. After back-to-back nine-win seasons in 2021-22, the Knights went 6-7 in 2023 and 4-8 in 2024. This season started with high expectations as Malzahn made sweeping changes to the program. He retooled the strength and conditioning department and hired Ted Roof and Tim Harris Jr. as defensive and offensive coordinators, respectively. He also added nearly 50 new players to the roster, leaning heavily on the transfer market. UCF started by winning its first three games against New Hampshire, Sam Houston and a thrilling comeback at TCU, but offensive struggles saw the Knights tumble through a TBD-game losing streak to finish the season. Terry Mohajir hired Malzahn on Feb. 15, 2021, six days after he was hired to replace Danny White. The move came eight weeks after Malzahn had been fired at Auburn after eight seasons of coaching the Tigers. The two briefly worked together at Arkansas State in 2012 before Malzahn left for the Auburn job. “When he [Mohajir] offered the job, I was like, ‘I’m in.’ There wasn’t thinking about or talking about ...,” Malzahn said during his introductory press conference. “This will be one of the best programs in college football in a short time. This is a job that I plan on being here and building it.” UCF opened the 2021 season with non-conference wins over Boise State and Bethune-Cookman before traveling to Louisville on Sept. 17, where quarterback Dillon Gabriel suffered a fractured collarbone in the final minute of a 42-35 loss. Backup Mikey Keene would finish out the season as Gabriel announced his intention to transfer. The Knights would finish the season on the plus side by accepting a bid to join the Big 12 Conference in September and then by defeating Florida 29-17 in the Gasparilla Bowl. Malzahn struck transfer portal gold in the offseason when he signed former Ole Miss quarterback John Rhys Plumlee. Plumlee, a two-sport star with the Rebels, helped guide UCF to the American Athletic Conference Championship in its final season. However, Plumlee’s injury forced the Knights to go with Keene and freshman Thomas Castellanos. The team finished with losses to Tulane in the conference championship and Duke in the Military Bowl. Plumlee would return in 2023 as UCF transitioned to the Big 12 but would go down with a knee injury in the final minute of the Knights’ 18-16 win at Boise State on Sept. 9. He would miss the next four games as backup Timmy McClain took over the team. Even on his return, Plumlee couldn’t help UCF, on a five-game losing streak to open conference play. The Knights got their first Big 12 win at Cincinnati on Nov. 4 and upset No. 15 Oklahoma State the following week, but the team still needed a win over Houston in the regular-season finale to secure a bowl bid for the eighth straight season. From the moment Malzahn stepped on campus, he prioritized recruiting, particularly in Central Florida. “We’re going to recruit like our hair’s on fire,” Malzahn said at the time. “We’re going to go after the best players in America and we’re not backing down to anybody.” From 2007 to 2020, UCF signed 10 four-star high school and junior college prospects. Eight four-star prospects were in the three recruiting classes signed under Malzahn. The 2024 recruiting class earned a composite ranking of 39 from 247Sports, the highest-ranked class in school history. The 2025 recruiting class is ranked No. 41 and has commitments from three four-star prospects. Malzahn has always leaned on the transfer market, signing 60 players over the past three seasons. Some have paid huge dividends, such as Javon Baker, Lee Hunter, Kobe Hudson, Tylan Grable, Bula Schmidt, Amari Kight, Marcellus Marshall, Trent Whittemore, Gage King, Ethan Barr, Deshawn Pace and Plumlee. Others haven’t been as successful, such as quarterback KJ Jefferson, who started the first five games of this season before being benched for poor performance. Jefferson’s struggles forced the Knights to play musical chairs at quarterback, with true freshman EJ Colson, redshirt sophomore Jacurri Brown and redshirt freshman Dylan Rizk all seeing action at one point or another this season. This season’s struggles led to several players utilizing the NCAA’s redshirt rule after four games, including starting slot receiver Xavier Townsend and kicker Colton Boomer, who have also entered the transfer portal. Defensive end Kaven Call posted a letter to Malzahn on Twitter in which he accused the UCF coaching staff of recently kicking him off the team when he requested to be redshirted.
