By Tare Youdeowei
In its bid to alleviate the
difficulty attached to getting
clean water and power
to efficiently carry out
laundry by the people of
Ogba and environs in Ikeja,
LG Electronics recently
inaugurated a free
laundry service.
The service tagged Life’s
Good with LG Wash is part
of the company’s corporate
social responsibility
program for the year designed
to help people,
homes and the community,
meet their laundry
needs.
Speaking on the company’s
drive at the event
which held at LG show-
room, Executive Vice-
President, LG Electronics,
Mr. Choong Hak Lee, said:
“As a global company, LG
Electronics is using its capabilities
to help local communities
all over the world
by solving some issues. In
this regard, I hope that
Life’s Good with LG Wash
will help make things more
convenient and lives more
comfortable. I hope it will
bring more spare time and
comfort to residents. LG
Electronics will continue to
support communities even
in the future.
“The laundry cabin,
which is equipped with
state-of-the-art facilities designed
to serve over 50 people
per day and will operate
on a daily basis from
morning till evening. The
facility contains several LG
washing machines, dryers,
air conditioning units,
uninterrupted power supply,
constant supply of water
among others, to ensure
the facility operates
seamlessly,” Lee enthused.
Commending LG’s effort,
Managing Director,
Fouani Nigeria Ltd, Mr.
Mohammed Fouani, said:
“This is what I call truly
giving back to the society,
because the real beneficiaries
of this project are the
masses, I believe they will
take advantage of this initiative
by LG Electronics."
LG Stylus 3
“The stylus slides nicely
into the body of the Stylus
3 and the phone can
detect when the pen is in
and out of its frame. Slide
the stylus out and a circular
pen icon will appear
on screen – give it a
tap and you’ll get a few
shortcuts to drawing and
note taking applications
allowing you to wield the
power of the pen almost
instantly.
“If you opt to write, the
Stylus 3 can detect the
angle you are using the
stylus for realistic handwriting
on-screen. It
also features ‘palm rejection’
allowing you to rest
your hand on the screen
while you write without
the phone freaking out
from the additional presence
of your palm,” so
