How SHAREit Lite is Reshaping File Management and Sharing Process on Mobiles for Young Nigerians
Mobile devices across the world have become a major tool for carrying out a wide range of functions such as storing images, documents, songs, movies, moments, the list goes on.
According to data by Rescue TIME, more than 5 billion people have mobile devices globally and they spend an average of 3 hours daily on their phones.
From sending official emails, filling online surveys, executing to-do lists, setting calendar reminders for important meetings to staying updated with news, and sharing activities with families and friends, smartphones have become a necessity in human lives, and their use has extended beyond trivial activities.
Despite the growing dependency on mobile devices for various activities , working with them often comes at the cost of mixing up files or losing them among hundreds of other stored content. Also, there’s a tendency to encounter difficulties while transferring files from one device to the other.
When massive information stored on phones gets cluttered up, it’s very complicated to segment files into usable folders and easily find specific documents amongst myriads of other digital files.
The absence of a good file management system makes working on mobile hectic and sometimes rigorous. For mobile users to stay organised, a file management application, capable of proper grouping, sorting and file separation is essential.
Global file-sharing app, SHAREit Lite has highlighted this as a critical problem among the young digital-savvy population in Nigeria, and aims to mitigate the challenge through its mobile app. According to Marvin Umebiye, Regional Marketing Director, SHAREit Lite, Nigeria,
“Storing and arranging files properly on mobile devices can save tremendous time and remove the frustration of endless file searches.
“SHAREit Lite has explored different use cases for its app management feature, such as those who need to urgently upload files for registration on their mobile phones, entrepreneurs who need to easily access their pitch decks when pitching to investors, or students who need to share assignments cross-departments.
“These are critical moments when anxiety builds up and users run out of time, but such situations can be easily averted with proper file management which our app offers to all mobile users.
“The inability to access documents promptly when needed can sometimes cost more than is bargained for, and that’s the story of many mobile users today. It underscores why organizing files, music, images, etc., makes our lives more productive and easy”
Having a multi-purpose app on your device can change how you and your team operates and it can help increase productivity in the workplace while preventing the loss of important data.
Through its multi-purpose and simple interface, SHAREit Lite is designed to empower every Nigerian mobile user with an app, capable of handling multiple functions, beyond sharing of files on devices.
Currently, users in Nigeria are finding diverse use cases for the app beyond file sharing and management. They include high-speed transmission, transfer without internet connection, cross-playlist access from the mobile, junk cleaning etc.
This is one of the reasons the app is recognized as one of the easiest to use in its category. SHAREit Lite also manages information with proper permission granted by users while harmonising information from other inter-linked apps, and granting absolute visibility to the primary user.
TVC News has broken new ground in Nigeria’s media space with the launch of the country’s first Artificial Intelligence (AI) news presenters.
Rolled out in May 2025, the AI anchors will deliver news bulletins in English, Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, and Pidgin, reflecting the broadcaster’s commitment to technological advancement and linguistic inclusion.
The initiative is designed to enhance news delivery by supporting human journalists, not replacing them.
TVC Communications, the parent company of TVC News, described the development as a milestone in its efforts to integrate cutting-edge technology into broadcast journalism.
“We are thrilled to pioneer this innovation in Nigeria’s media industry,” said Victoria Ajayi, chief executive officer, TVC Communications.
“Our AI news anchors represent a new era in news reporting, and this move underscores our dedication to using technology as a tool for growth and progress.”
Ajayi clarified that the AI-generated content will undergo thorough editorial review.
“Trained journalists and editors will assess every output to ensure it meets our standards of accuracy, balance, and credibility,” she noted.
In response to concerns about the potential misuse of AI, the organisation said it had established rigorous editorial safeguards, including watermarking and verification protocols. It also reaffirmed its adherence to the Nigerian Broadcasting Code and journalistic ethics.
With this launch, TVC News has become a trailblazer in AI-assisted journalism in Africa, setting a bold example for future media innovation across the continent.

Davido Unites Superfans in Lagos for Exclusive 5IVE Album Experience, Powered by Spotify
To celebrate the release of his fifth studio album, 5IVE Davido hosted a select group of superfans and media at Ona Restaurant in Lagos for an exclusive meet-and-greet, presented by Spotify.
The event offered a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the Afrobeats superstar, with 50 lucky fans and 5 media partners given the chance to connect with the artist in an intimate setting.
Rather than handing out invitations, Spotify put fans to the test, requiring them to pass a five-question quiz on Davido’s music to earn a spot at the roundtable. Once inside, attendees were treated to an afternoon of music, conversation, and surprises. The event was hosted by Ireculture, who set the tone with her infectious energy, while SmallztheDJ kept the vibe going with smooth, Afrobeats-driven selections.
In true Davido fashion, a playful twist took centre stage: after teasing his absence, the artist made a dramatic, surprise entrance, sending fans into a frenzy. The moment was a perfect reflection of Davido’s personality – engaging, unpredictable, and larger-than-life.
Victor Okapala, Spotify’s Artist and Label Partnerships lead for West Africa, noted, “This event is a testament to the power of music to bring fans and artists closer together. Working with Davido on the release of 5IVE highlights the energy surrounding Afrobeats globally, and the deep connection we see between the artist and his fans.”
The event’s highlight was a close-knit roundtable conversation, where fans shared their love for 5IVE, with “10 Kilo” emerging as an early favourite. Each guest left with a gift box featuring five fashion items from Nigerian streetwear brand Severe Nature, who also designed the official 5IVE merch.
Reflecting on his journey, Davido shared, “When you see artists like Beyoncé, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Rihanna, you realise the work it takes to get there. This time, I wanted to go all out, and I’m seeing the results.”
Spotify data underscores Davido’s growing global influence. In the past 12 months, his music has been added to over 12 million playlists worldwide.
The artist’s reach spans key markets including Nigeria, the U.S., U.K., South Africa, and France, with 34% of his listeners aged 18-24 and 41% aged 25-34.
As 5IVE continues to captivate listeners, this intimate event further solidified Davido’s position as one of Afrobeats’ leading voices, fostering a deeper connection between him and his dedicated fanbase.
