Palito… how I cried when I stupidly connected you to a car battery in my bid to save cash on buying batteries, memories…😛

Do you still have this?

Calm him down indeed, so your eyes couldn't see, or you brain couldn't process the same Soldier matching him with his leg while the driver was inside the gutter right? Help yourself from this state you are pls...

u11ae1013:
Fake news, in the first scene, the driver missed his step and fell inside the gutter,and a soldier tried calming him the second scene, it was not confirmed if the man was beaten by soldiers.

All this fake paparazzos should not put we the genuine photographers in trouble, I no wan swim inside gutter because I want snap cutely dressed soldiers

Must u guys believe anything this guy says . I wonder where he gets his information about a government that he constantly criticize. This is for his gullible followers that always believe whatever he tells them. I am not holding brief for any of the task force official. But I must say that any body or group of people that will touch a kobo of all the funds and donations from people for this Convid-19. The person will see what is deadly than this virus. No amount of prayer or medical doctor giving him/her treatment will save them. That’s my own opinion.

Even if they are paid 10naira for their sitting, it's unpatriotic to a great extent, I mean, the life of fellow citizens are at stake here, their lively hood, source of income and way of life has been on lock and keys pending, with nothing to look up to, not even palliative measures received and they are looking to be paid... this people have no integrity or the good interest of this nation.
Anyway the Chinese are here, comments reserved, but hoping the pandemic doesn't escalade in this part of the globe, if it does...

AmeLonRo:
Canada did.moee than this and US too. Dubai did nothing. Senator Obasa in his personal standing as a senator distributed bread. Someone else could distribute fish or beans. Don't blame people in power especially in Africa. Check Gbenga Akindele YouTube channel for more on this.

Senator Obasa had good intentions, yeah... but it was amiss, I wouldnt call the people that used the bread as football to be ungrateful which it might seem, but come on, it's an insult we're hungry, we're not dogs... government and the so called leaders could have worked out collectively and orderly measures to make it indeed palliative as intended, the sit at home order was intended for our collective good, but what steps and good will was been put in place as copied from the western or European world atleast, but no oh we'll only copy the one that suits our selfish and greedy interest as the selfish, greedy and corrupt government we are. SHAME!

And the government could only afford Obasa Bread for the masses...
I spits on the face of who ever did this to our so called leaders and government, it will never be well with em all.

Thinking of setting up a panel when the looting has already begun, who is accounting for the funds that has already been looted pls?.
Keep fooling yourselfs in the name of a pandemic, it's becoming obviously obvious that this covid-19 in this part of the globe is a hoax, with calculated secrete strategies.
You put a lockdown majorly in the west, and youre sending relief materials and money to the north, I mean someone tested positive then negative and now positive again!. What have we not heard/seen.
Politics and the Media has indeed become a plague to the helpless masses.

This is shame! And it has caught up with them our so called leaders...but as usual, they don't have any iota of shame or remorse.

Anyone that survives and learns nothing about all this is worse than evil itself.

I think at this point in time, this is just the beginning for us as a people, the numbers of tested positive cases are rising slowly, and steadily, so individually we must all brace ourselves for worse case scenerio in the coming impact, there is the pandemic on one hand, Crude oil price drop on the other, and our leaders are thinking and acting like a blacksmith. Shall we be always lucky in everything? Nigerians are used to being their own local government, providing and fending for themselves though so, it's not too much a task...
Once again they have given laws and order, without measures. Shame!.
"To your tents oh Nigerians"

And that was Live...
Wonderful!

No oh it's well... Ghana is next in placing a Ban on Nigerian, after all what do we have to offer other than crude oil and entertainment... that's where our priorities are and thats why we'll always be a money miss road and a joke!...

Hmmm, you people av smoked our Op owt of his thread with ya yabbis, He meant 500 Kouries naw , S.hit is getting too real for home boys i must say....

OP no worry You shall Locate ya Helper, no mind em nLanders

*Software Repairs

To become a Software Technician, A deep knowledge of computer applications and programs is key. a software technician works with installed programs in his/her workstation computer system; Apart from the programs in the work station computer, A device that connects the gadgets to be repaired (maybe a mobile phone or tablet) to the workstation computer which has the program and the necessary files ( Os and Application) for the gadget in question. This connecting device is referred to as the Software Box.
There are different software boxes designed for diffrent gadgets and purposes, depending on the gadget to be repaired, the sofware box to be used is connected and setup for use, these boxes comes with their special software application, tools/resources that allows the software technician to carry out software repair procedures on a gadget having a software related problem; Software boxes includes JAF, ATF, UFS Twister, Cyclone Box, Universal Box, Smartclip etc.
Although these days the basic things a software technician needs is a computer system, with basic/free software tools installed in it, the software/ firmware majorly refereed to as ROM (stock or customized) and a usb cable for the gadgets to be repaired. This does not rule out the idea of software boxes as they are key in carrying out profession services and task which basic software tools can not accomplish.
The idea of software Boxes is tailored at providing professional software repair services for majorly Mobile Phones and its accessories, for other electronics gadgets like laptop computers , there are software tools, Techniques and materials for repair purposes.

2. Skills Acquisition


Like in all works of life, Gadgets repair skill can be learnt and transferred from one person to another, Although it requires some time some resources a steady and good sight, the art can be practiced and perfected either in a workshop or by personal training/practice.

All electronics gadgets comprises of two functional parts which are: The Hardware part and The Software part, Hence gadgets repair skills training can be focused on either the Hardware part or The Software part or even both.
The[b] Hardware part[/b] of a gadget has to do with the parts and components that can be seen, touched and manipulated with physical hands; they includes Display Screen, Charging Port, Speaker, Electrical components etc.
The Software part encompasses the Programs, Data’s and Information stored in the memory of the gadget that utilizes the hardware parts/resources in other to keep the gadgets functional; they includes OS(Operating System e.g.: Android, Symbian, java), Apps, Language Files, Hardware Resources Managers etc.

In other to repair these gadgets a Service personnel/Technician must posses the skill, knowledge and experience in either the Hardware part or the Software part, in some cases both, it is very profitable to be good in both but it requires more effort and time to attain such height, in all it is strongly advised to gain a basic knowledge in hardware before focusing fully on software repairs.

This is it bro...thank you

Device IMEI is Blank/ Corrupt, Give set to a pro-Software Technician to repair IMEI, If you have the time and patience you can search google/ Xda-developers.com for repair process/needed resources for you device model, you can apply steps and see results... Do this at your own risk though as you might endup bricking phone if you mix up things, Best advice is get a software techy to do this for you.

Pls how can i get a bluboo x550 battery??...i heard its a china phone and would be hard to get,how true is that??...its an inbuilt battery and would have to be fixed if gotten...its neither on jumia nor konga....

I'd really appreciate...

If you still have the old/faulty battery in the phone, then a new battery can be fabricated and fitted into phone easily, this will be done using same spec of battery as the old one, the battery logic circuit of the old battery will be transferred to the new battery cell to be used... most experienced hardware technicians can do that.

oluvicki:
Please help, my infinix x551 has a charging problem, i have changed the complete flex and it does jot increase by 1% it just shows it as connected but the charging never increases, i tested d flex in another phone and it works well there. i felt like its a panel problem but am scared of the phone engineers.

Do this quick test, Connect Phone to a pc and see if it is detected properly ( MediatekXXXX) if it shows Unknown Device connected, then problem is still with charging port/usb lines/ Flex pcb the Model X551 like Blackberry's Rely on data line D+ and D- for usb mode switching/ fast charging of its 3000mAh Lion Battery, Meaning Only +vbus and Ground from charger can't effectively charge the device.
If on the other hand the phone is detected properly by pc then, This problem is main board related, The Charging control circuit and components must be checked for possible problem and solution, This i can fix no hassle if you are in Port Harcourt.

1231awa:


Yeah... though the monthly spending limit was reduced.

You are Right, GTB Naira card working, I wonder why First bank and zenith bank got ban... Thanks

1231awa:
Sir, get a [color=#990000]Gtbank mastercard.[/color]
_{I use it.}

You mean GTB Naira MasterCard allows international Purchase? thought i was a cbn policy

I don't know if am the only one going through this, but am certain it's a general thing, I got a mail from both First bank and Zenith bank Nigeria around early June this year or so about a policy change on Naira master cards ban on international trades, only for local trades withing Nigeria which was truly effected, now the alternative was to go for a Dom. Account (usd, euro, gbp) which is a real pain in the ass, firstly for first bank the requirements it too rigid, again one will have to go do exchange from Naira to Dom. account's currency which is another pain in the ass to get the right exchanger where am located . again there is a cbn policy about depositing physical foreign currency too.
My People, What to do? I have relied on the naira card for quite a while for ordering special tools and components i work with from China, Funding and maintaining a Dom. account is what i have always been running away from cause of the troubles, now the sh.it's getting real what to do

please let's share ideas here about flexible means of fund transfer for international trades.
