nairalanda1:


1.Yes, it is undercharging. Bills in Nigeria are not cost reflective.

2.Then there are the millions of customers (let's use your hyperbole here) who don't even pay for their power usage, and make things harder for those of us who do pay.

The day you realize things cost money....

reflect on the bolded: you're not part of us....you're part of the bureaucratic Criminals who are no different from ritualists and every Godless soul who uses people's blood for money.

nairalanda1:


Nigerians who don't pay their power bills are even more evil.

It is because you want free power supply, without thinking about the fact that it costs money to give you power, that you talk like this.

Nearly 40% of Nigerians do not pay for the power they use. Plus, the government does not let them DISCOS charge cost reflective tarrifs, and as a result the DISCOS, GENCOS do not have money to pay for improved power supply.

Oga, before you call me their slave, ANSWER THIS QUESTION.

If you were in business, would you like it if 40% of your customers do not pay, and the rest take your goods and services at a cost less than what you bought them for?

No such thing as free service .

so high bills covering the epileptic power supply we constantly receive is undercharging?

Do you know millions of customers with estimated billing system that are charged monthly for electricity they never used?

Techbroz:
Lol, I doubt you own any of both. Lemme try to explain.

The 120hz on the S20 and other high end android is superfast, you can feel this when you scroll through web pages and in app animations too. (Set your animations speeds to .5x in developer settings and trust me the 13 pro can't compare). On the iPhone it's more like 90hz, if you really own both the difference is like night and day.

Secondly face I.D..Face I.D is damn slow man, especially when used for locking apps like WhatsApp. That animation feels like forever compared to just using your finger print and boom you're in. Although it's more secure but damn who am I really protecting my phone from. The swipe up after unlocking to enter the phone is absolutely unnecessary in my opinion. That extra step makes it slower and trust me unless you really use both phones you won't notice how slower the iPhone is in day to day operations compared to others.

Please don't argue if you don't use both phones. Or do we talk about the boxy design of the recent iPhones that makes it even uncomfortable to hold for a long period of time? Jeez I miss my 11 pro. That new design just digs into your palm and over a long period of time you would start feeling really uncomfortable.

Everything I have written is from a user experience. I still own the both phones and a Macbook pro.

your user experience (UX) is the reflection and colour of your emotions. I will liken them to a novice trying to explain the technicalities in skiing to me.

I wish I wouldn't have to respond to this but I will....your unnecessary delving into the form factor of the iphone betrays your iPhone-hate.

But let me oblige you.... Android OS is a fundamentally flawed system from the get-go. Even its manufacturers had admitted so from Its early iteration. That is why it needs very larg RAM to run.

I type this conversation with you using one of the Samsung Note Series Flagships and the specs says it equipped with a 12GB ram. And I'm like damn....what do I need such large RAM numbers if the OS isn't a RAM-guzzler!!!

The fact that android is owned and built by Google and left for other OEMs like Samsung , Tecno, Xiaomi and Nokia to integrate into their systems makes it a beta product than an iPhone which is almost 100% in-house.

When the iPhone 6 came, it was equipped with a 1GB ram and was the fasted smartphone on earth then trumping Samsung Flagships like Note 4 and S5 in speed when both were equipped with 3GB RAM. Let's see if the sequence has changed over the years....

For the mere fact the S23 Ultra is a 2023 phone and still 21% slower to the older 2022 iPhone 14pro should be enough to not begin this argument but no, Sammy Fan boys love to type and hype.


Nothing has changed, bro. Nothing and nothing will change till Chirst our Lord will return to claim us and all the mobile platforms together

I knew you'za fan boy when you started arguing 20sec and 7 secs are not worthy of mentioning. Because you know Sammy lags behind.

You know why back in the days Symbian Os survived Against Sonny-Ericcson's UIQ and Windows Mobile? Symbian needed lower RAM numbers to run . When Android came out, one of its very core weakness was needing high RAM and processors to get up to speed and stability.

Unless they go back to the basic they CANT fix that.

You telling me from your sentimental experience of owning both devices is laughable.

Next time you want to run a benchmark test, use a blindfold and you will feel the results before you see 'em.

Cheers!

I no go talk again

Timekeeper452:
20 secs time gap is not just minuscule but not something worth mentioning.

I don't own an iPhone . I use a Samsung Flagship Note series. But I won't be bias

20sec in phone time is Exactly night and day

Timekeeper452:
then I say again, the difference between them are minuscule. In some, the android wins with a 7secs advantage, in some the iPhone wins with a 7secs difference. Performance and speed long peaked on high end smartphones. No winner and looser.

if I will use your own judgment to critique your contradictory stand, is 7seconds time gap miniscule?

Again iPhone overall is miles ahead in speed than Android.

Timekeeper452:
in this day and age, no high end phone is faster than the other anymore.

nah, not when they are of different Platforms and when you put them on high task

Techbroz:
Switch to iPhone and never look back? That's not even possible.
If you use your phone often for productivity then the iPhone is not for you.

Android is more productivity oriented. I own both the 13 pro and the Samsung S20 and the later is my go to phone. I no even put sim card for the iPhone and sometimes I consider selling it (Now imagine the more recent Samsung like S23 or the Ultra).

The S20 is snappier, and the 120hz on the Samsung feels way smoother. The one on the iPhone feels kind of like 90hz and the app animations? Damn that shit is slow. With the Samsung you can customize your app animations to make them faster.

Battery life on the iPhone is better, however battery is not a thing for me as I have constant electricity. The iPhone has a better resale value and it's more sturdy compared to the android counterpart but that's the only advantage it has ahead of the S20.

To summarize, you are more likely to get a second phone (Android) if the iPhone is your primary device because you NEED it, however if a high end android is your primary device, trust me you don't have any need for an iPhone.

you say S20 is snappier than a 13pro?

You're either lying barefaced or using a clone iphone

IIdamuAdugbo:
Use samsung flagships and you know that only transsion device laggs

iPhone is miles faster than Samsung.

Flora2Sweet:
IPhone is for calls , while my Sammy is for the fun stuffs like games and 🎥 movie's.. I hate caring charger up and dawn.. so I minimise my iPhone usage to save battery for me...
But iPhone no easy to use sha... e dey chop data like mad.. no matter how u try to manage am...

iPhone is ahead of android as per games. ..

WriterNig:



The global de-dollarization campaign is gaining momentum, as countries around the world seek alternatives to the hegemony of the 🇺🇸 US dollar.

🇷🇺 Russia and 🇨🇳 China are trading in their own currencies.

Beijing, 🇦🇷 Argentina and 🇧🇷 Brazil have also dropped the dollar in bilateral trade.

The 🇦🇪 UAE is selling China its gas in yuan, through a French company.

🇧🇩 Bangladesh pays a Russian nuclear power company in Russian rubles, ditching the U.S dollars.

🇵🇰 Pakistan and 🇮🇳 India are trading with Russia in rubles and their local currencies.

Southeast Asian nations in ASEAN are de-dollarizing their trade, promoting local payment systems.

🇰🇪 Kenya is buying Persian Gulf oil with its own currency.

Even the Financial Times newspaper has acknowledged that a “multipolar currency world” is emerging.

When Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Moscow in March, his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin revealed that two-thirds of the countries’ bilateral trade is already conducted in the ruble and renminbi.

“It is important that our national currencies are increasingly used in bilateral trade“, Putin said. “We should continue promoting settlements in national currencies, and expand the reciprocal presence of financial and banking structures in our countries’ markets”.

The Russian leader added, “We support using Chinese yuan in transactions between the Russian Federation and its partners in Asia, Africa and Latin America”.

Just a week after Xi’s trip to Moscow, China announced that it had for the first time used yuan to buy liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the UAE.

The deal was negotiated between the state-owned China National Offshore Oil Company and the French company TotalEnergies, meaning European firms are now willing to conduct transactions in yuan.

French media outlet RFI described the trade as a “major step in Beijing’s attempts to undermine the US dollar as universal ‘petrodollar’ for gas and oil trade”.

The report quoted the chairman of the Shanghai Petroleum and Natural Gas Exchange, Guo Xu, who said the deal encouraged “multi-currency pricing, settlement and cross-border payment”.

On March 30, China and Brazil (the world’s most populous and sixth-most populous countries) announced they had come to an agreement to trade with each other in their local currencies, yuan and reais.

China’s media network CGTN reported, “The deal will enable China, the world’s second-largest economy, and Brazil, the biggest economy in Latin America, to conduct their massive trade and financial transactions directly, exchanging yuan for reais and vice versa instead of going through the dollar”.

It noted that China is Brazil’s biggest trading partner, and in 2022 the two countries did more than $150.5 billion worth of trade.

Brazil’s leftist President Lula da Silva has called for Latin America to develop a new currency for regional trade, which he calls the Sur.

very misleading and watery article.

So Russia insisting on its currency for trading of its products amounts to the the world turning to Russian rubble and Chinese currency?

Lolz

IyaebeTheGreat:
That you are very short won't stop me from saying the truth. Mention one short person you know that's good and kindhearted?

IyaebeTheDefeated, why do you keep using nairaland as a palliative for your social pain and economic hardship?

Temidayo9:

I only said what you explained not possible and not done anywhere in the world. What is applicable in other places is that you pay extra for a certain event like BBN or boxing fixtures. Cable TV technology not like GSM that you are using your money per second. The system on cable TV bill per day. And you don't need to abused me to sound stupid. Thanks

It is only in Nigeria people pay for cable subscription monthly and it runs out whether you watch it or not.. it keeps running just like same south African companies did with GSM back in the early 2000s when you buy credit and it vanishes whether you use it or not.

The problem with people like you is that you use the internet as a palliative to ameliorate your ignorance and low quality exposure.

Your data

Temidayo9:
This people mumu no be here. Time without number they have raised this issue of pay per view any time there is upward price review, nothing like pay per view in cable subscription. Only exclusive channel payment is available which is even more expensive. Besides what concerns students with watching cable TV, they should protest for not having light and water in there various campuses.

what nans is trying to say is subscription should run on actual hours watched and not timed monthly.

In other words, when someone subscribes and there's no electricity or emergency travel , the subscription doesn't keep running.

Many South African companies are here to exploit. I remember MTN and Econet told us bluntly there's no possibility of per second billing in Nigeria until Glo broke the jinx.

You don't have to sound stupid and unpatriotic in your effort to appear intelligent

Emotional

descarado:
This madness starts and ends in the West,trust me, aside the West,majority of the world totally ignore them

trust me, it won't get to Africa. Maybe it will end in south Africa alone.

pocohantas:


Yawns. You are boring dear. I like that you are trying not to cross reasonable lines. Hopefully this account serves you for some months.

your comment is as harmless and weak as a Christmas laugh.

What reasonable lines am I trying to not cross?

I remember when you posted your monthly salary in the ashawo thread. It is less than 30k

Then you showed the threshold of your nether regions.

Nairaland is your long and short term goal.

I thought you'd love me for giving you the attention of your dreams you have lacked in the actual world.

Snowflake!

pocohantas:


E done run create another one. Mc.Duncan Mighty.

I thought that by now you would have made something useful of your life .

All the years and efforts in Nairaland and you're still jostling like a newbie?

Maybe you need to find someone as pathetic as you to date and you can find peace and joy in your life.

When will Poco learn to love herself?

luminouz:
Lol...

Look at the reactants up there. Surely, y'all don't believe the story is real?

Kai....it's just the Oxlade reference that started all his made-up stories.

Be more logical, less emotional.

Modified: I was right. Dude was just using Oxlade to catch cruise. Funny thing is the bunch of people who came for that dude are low key pedophiles themselves. I see 14-15 year old girls around here doing olosho and carrying sugar daddies. There are hardly any virgin girls anymore at that age. 14-15 year old girls are married in the Northern part of Nigeria. Are the men fuqin them from Mars? The Iranian woman who was beheaded by her husband was just 17 years old with a 3 year old kid, which means she got pregnant at 14 years old.

Till everyone is ready to apply the same rules no matter whose ox is gored, change will always be relative.

no, dude wasn't catching cruise. He has no life and sits idly over his phone trying to he famous and get the much needed attention his actual life couldn't bring.

For someone to risk his reputation teasing about wanting to sleep with a 14 year-old girl, he must be really desperate and suffering from chronic attention deficit syndrome.

And the rest of your comments is jist trying to justify pawdophilia. You seem like one.

Animegirl:


Go girl!!! Drag his balls to court for defamation, just because of 1500k.

You guys forget she didn't beg or ask the guy to send her money, he offered to send tf to her and she accepted. How did she defraud or obtain through false pretense if she didn't persuade or induce him? The intent wasn't there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@NKsleek

Who still uses Facebook and messager, though

If someone mistakenly sends you money into your account and you use it, you're held for theft Eden though you didn't steal it or request for it.

If you angry to meet a man but complain for lack of fund for transportation and you're sent and you didn't show up, it's fraud. You bitches with blocked brains are always so entitled!

I hope you're not in the habit of collecting transportation money from men and not showing up.

EshjayLee:
I will try harder, if she’s someone I truly see as intelligent, reserved, hardworking and reasonable. There’s no crime in fighting for what you want.

men don't gather around reserved, reasonable women.

She's encouraging the pestering so that makes her a prospective community product and you a potential simp!

Emergingnation0:
In your Unity Begging mind abi. It will shocked you , when referendum is conducted as being requested, 100% of Ndigbo will vote to leave..

And how is call for self determination a criminals activities ? Self determination is Isn't a crime but a right as being recognized under different global Charters which Nigeria is signatory to..

So therefore IPOB is pursueing a legitimate cause, not a criminals activities as being portrayed by unity beggars like you..

so why have you cretinous idiots never conducted a referendum in the South East before threatening people to stay at home?

It must be hard accepting Igbos now hate IPOB. Harsh reality.

Emergingnation0:
Yes, IPOB is more dangerous than Boko Haram,cos their activities is Bent to lead your region into Oblivion....

Chronic unity beggar..

there's no unity beggers anywhere. That terms is coined to make your criminal activities seem legitimate.

Now I'm glad the way IPOB has lost the goodwill and support of the Igbo population.

The scale has fallen off the people's eyes as they are now afraid of you criminals.

Emergingnation0:
The terrorist army is leaving the backwards north where Fulani bandits are on rampaged and be chasing rats in the peaceful East,why won't they fall and die ?

This is a classic case of leaving your own house (north) burning, while chasing rats in another man's house (SE).

the east isn't peaceful. IPOB criminals and terrorists are same with boko haram
