Imagine going shopping online for a new product and you only see products that you like, fit your lifestyle and meet your price expectations. Sounds good? Then lg.com website is right place for you. And the more you shop, the better it gets.
However, as trivial as it may seem, the decision to buy a washing machine is not one that is made every day. In addition to a certain amount of money that you need to allocate, the choice of washing machine will both directly and indirectly affect the quality of your life.
In order not to make a mistake when choosing, here are a few things you should pay attention to when choosing a washing machine.
Top-load or front-load?
This is the first thing you determine in a washing machine. Having a Top or Front Load Washing Machine have their advantages and disadvantages, and the best choice depends on your preferences. People often find it challenging to understand the need for a front-load washing machine. If you decide to load from the front (front-load), it cleans more efficiently and saves electricity in the long run. Moreover, it delivers higher spin speeds helping you dry your clothes faster and gentler. The front-load washing machines are durable
LG front-load washing machine delivers 6-motion Control Technology that ensures the gentle handling and the deep cleansing of your clothes. The motor attached to the drum reduces noise, vibration, wear, and tear. The steam wash feature removes the dust mites, pet and pollen allergens from clothes.
The machine runs on inverter technology that can save more power. Equipped with some notable features like True Steam, Turbo Wash, 6 motion DD and Bigger Capacity. This washing machine can make your life simpler and easier. Moreover, it also enables a Smart Diagnosis function that lets you connect with the SmartThinQ app and know the problem. You can diagnose multiple errors with the help of the SmartThinQ app. https://www.lg.com/africa/front-loader-washing-machines
Top Load on the other hand is loaded with smart technology which makes it one of the most durable products. You can disable its control panel via child lock to avoid any mishappening. In choosing a top-load machine, you won’t have to bend down and you’ll save space because these machines are narrower and the washing cycles are usually shorter. With the Auto Restart function, when the machine is turned off due to power failure, it will restart automatically from the position it stopped to adjust accordingly. https://www.lg.com/africa/top-loader-washing-machines
Machine capacity and drum size
This is also a decision that depends on many factors. Do you live alone or do you have a large family? The larger the family you have, the greater the need for laundry, so choose the size of the machine accordingly.
The capacity of the machine depends on the size of the drum, so the kilograms differs, ranging from 6KG to as much as 20KG. If you are not sure which size would suit your needs, the site will give the desired image you need and you can also call the LG Customer Information Centre on 080098115454.
Electricity consumption
This is one of the most important factors in all home appliances, unless you are prepared to pay large electricity bills. All machines must have stickers with an energy class, so look for it when buying. The sticker shows us the total number of kilowatt hours that are consumed during the year.
Inverter Direct Drive – Less Vibration, Less Noise
Not just one but two high-efficiency Inverter Direct Drive motors enhance washing performance and durability but without the noise and vibration. Plus, the motors dissipate less energy, reducing electricity consumption.
Ratings from other users
No one can better convey your impressions of a product to a person who has actually used and tried it. In our modern age, when everything is available with one click, we can easily look at ratings and reviews of other users, and if you are interested in something, you can ask.

The Director General, National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) Kashifu Inuwa has explained how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other transformative technologies can optimise the operations of small scale farmers in the country.
Delivering a keynote speech in Abuja at the launching of the Survey on the Digitisation of Supply-Chain in Small-Scale Nigerian Farms Project organised by AGROVESTO (an Agritech startup and a beneficiary of the iHatch Incubation Programme Cohort 2) in conjunction with NITDA, Office for Nigeria Digital Innovation (ONDI), Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) with Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (FMAFS) as partner, Inuwa, who was represented by Engr. Salisu Kaka, Director of Digital Economy Department lamented that “small-scale farmers are the backbone of crop production in Nigeria.”
“Still, they face numerous challenges including limited access to technology, high production costs, limited financing, high post-harvest losses, poor market access, labour shortages, and high labour costs. These issues he noted hinder their productivity and economic potential.”
The event’s purpose was to launch a project that will enable smallholder farmers in Nigeria to thrive, increase their income, and expand their market opportunities thereby creating wealth and prosperity for the country through agriculture.
Inuwa stated that agriculture employs a significant number of Nigerians and accounts for 25.18 percent of Nigeria’s GDP in 2023 through crop production, livestock, forestry, and fishing, with crop production taking the largest share; maintaining that digitising the supply chain for small-scale farms offers a transformative solution to the challenges of food security in the country.
Inuwa affirmed that supply chain optimisation will ensure that small-scale farmers can meet the increasing consumer demands, enhance food quality and safety, and promote and utilise sustainable practices.
“This can be achieved through the adoption of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), which can handle time-demanding tasks using machine learning and predictive modelling; the Internet of Things (IoT), which can monitor crops and generate real-time data to inform automation and best practices; and blockchain, which can provide end-to-end traceability in supply chains with shareable data, building consumer trust and even making it easier to isolate and manage disease outbreaks in crops,” Inuwa said.
He said, “NITDA has been actively supporting the growth of Nigeria’s agricultural sector. One key initiative is the National Adopted Village for Smart Agriculture (NAVSA) which has engaged 965 farmers in integrating technology into agriculture.
“Our Strategic Roadmap and Action Plan, 2024 – 2027 (SRAP 2.0) also highlights our focus on promoting technology in agriculture to boost food security, increase the sector’s GDP contribution, drive economic diversification, and create jobs, aligning with the priorities of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda,” he added.
Citing a good use case of the digitised agricultural sector, Inuwa disclosed that according to the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), agriculture contributes 33 percent to Kenya’s GDP.
He divulged that JICA, through its Small Horticulture Empowerment & Promotion (SHEP) Approach, doubled the income of 2,500 small-scale farmers between 2007 and 2009 alone.
During his presentation, Co-founder/CEO AGROVESTO, Bayo Adewoye said that 63.5 percent of these farmers earn between N20,000 and N100,000 monthly during the sales season while 63 percent take their products to the open market to sell.
He added that the project has been designed to address these challenges, and the expected outcomes include; improved farmer income by connecting farmers to wider markets through digital tools and increasing their bargaining power and sales, boosting their incomes.
Furthermore, efficient Supply Chains by digitising agricultural value chains can reduce post-harvest losses and improve the flow of goods, benefiting farmers and markets.
He said the initiative enhances digital literacy, empowers farmers with digital skills to enable them to leverage technology to access information and expand their market reach.
He further explained that the next step is to rollout digitisation of access to the market which entails the design and integration of a tailored digital platform for market access. And the onboarding of cooperatives and SHEP graduates to the platform. Then monitoring and evaluation activities which includes review meetings with JICA and ONDI, webinar and knowledge sharing.
MTN Nigeria on Saturday announced the construction of its West African largest data centre, a facility with a 1,500-rack and Tier 4 data centre within the country.
Tier 4 data centre is built to be completely fault-tolerant, has redundancy for every component and an expected uptime of 99.995 per cent.
This means it can withstand a wide range of potential disruptions and offers the most reliable infrastructure.
The Chief Technical Officer, MTN, Mr Mohammed Rufai, told newsmen in Lagos that construction of the data centre was a move to enhance Nigeria’s digital infrastructure.
Rufai said that the data centre was set to play a pivotal role in meeting the growing data demands and digital needs of businesses and consumers across the country.
He said that the new data centre would support MTN’s infrastructure and serve as a vital resource for businesses across Nigeria.
“Businesses that require data centre capacity can now forgo maintaining their server rooms.
‘’Our facility will provide the space and services needed, enabling companies to digitalise their operations and improve efficiency.
‘’The data centre will also enhance the delivery of content from major tech companies like Meta and Google, bringing content closer to Nigerian users and improving access speeds,’’ he said.
According to him, this local hosting of content will significantly boost user experience and network efficiency.
Rufai highlighted the critical need for expanded data processing capabilities, driven by significant growth in data usage and the emergence of new services.
“We see a high demand in the market, with data usage growing significantly.
“And in order to cater to demand and prepare for future growth, MTN is expanding and modernising its data centre capacity,” the MTN official said.
According to him, the project is not just a technological investment but also a catalyst for economic growth.
Rufai said by providing scalable and adaptable infrastructure, it would enable businesses, particularly Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), to leverage cloud services and other digital solutions.
He stressed that this would, in turn, drive innovation, efficiency, and competitiveness across various sectors of the economy.
He emphasised MTN’s readiness to partner with startups and MSMEs, offering numerous opportunities for collaboration, particularly in cloud services.
According to him, aligned with MTN’s Ambition 2025 strategy, the data centre signals the company’s commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals.
He said that the facility would eventually utilise efficient cooling systems and a combination of traditional energy sources, gas and renewable energy.
Rufai stressed the importance of these energy measures, saying it would significantly reduce its carbon footprint.
According to him, up to 60 per cent of the power consumption of a typical data centre in our clime is for cooling, MTN’s highly efficient systems will ensure it meets the sustainability targets.
The MTN official added that as Nigeria’s digital landscape advanced, the new data centre marked a significant milestone.
He said that it captured a continued drive for innovation, quality, growth and fostered a connected, modern life aiming to provide improved services, economic benefits and a strong digital infrastructure for the future.
