I don't really blame these private schools for some of their rules. Even though know that as adults these rules aren't right, they are left with no choice we abuse most of these things in this country and without forcefully taking some of these privileges away from students their school ratings won't increase. Not that they aren't abused outside the country too, but over there, they have managed to increase their ratings without stopping these things.
It can't be just coincidence that the schools that have these rules are rated as the best Private universities e.g. Covenant. While igbinedion that has been there before all of them is still struggling to cope in ratings.

This is not to undermine any school, but to state facts.
For those that will site public universities, know that the rate of cultism and various vices are very high there.
And I actually graduated from a public university so I know what I'm saying.

And who told you cultism, rape, drug abuse & other delinquencies don't exist in some of these private schools? Don't always believe hook, line & sinker what you see in adverts my brother. The owners of these schools are business men & will go to any length to launder the image of these schools to appear saintly to the outside world.

A university is a microcosm of the larger society i.e. a miniature version of the world at large. If you're not preparing these students for a totalitarian or communism centered society then why make then go thru such all in the name of teaching them? It'll only result to products not tailored to our open environment.


Don't tell me they'll adjust, remember life starts once you're done with tertiary education. My State (Rivers) had a 29 year old Alfred Diete Spiff as it's first military administrator. Do you think if he was trained in such a restrictive environment he'll be suited for that job so young?

Standing5:
Why won't a uni ban phones that can easily distract them. It can aid evil communication, stalking, cultism, exam malpractice and more.

So going by your theory, you're implying that banning smartphones & probably computers & the internet etc which all aid communication in the open society will put an end to the vices you mentioned.

See how flawed your assumption is?

Mobileman829:
More....

Like seriously Why are you showing us pics of people dancing?

I expected you to at least upload pictures of the main features of the device shown on the slide & most def the gadget itself.

This device looks promising, especially the 3 gig RAM variant

Gptech:
Please can I update over the air to miui 8 without bricking my phone? Phone is rooted xiaomi redmi note 2. Thanks

If you've official rom installed on your device you'll still get OTA software updates despite root but you'll lose root whenever you update.

blackchild09:
what wil you advice have been trying tat option since morning not working out

What exactly have you being trying? SP Tools have several versions, until you use the exact one that's good with the rom you're flashing it might not work.

KuliMart:
Bootloader locked remember

Flashing with SP Tools have no limitation even if bootloader is locked, his phone is MTK version.

blackchild09:
after rooting my phone it's been stocked on mi logo and it's not booting into recovery pls what can I do it's redmi note 3mtk

Use a PC to login to miui forums. Download the right rom & SP Tools versions then flash using your system, you might lose your data

Xiaomi is really dulling for not updating their Android versions on time. MIUI 8 is fine but it's boosit if it's not based on Android 6.0 marshmallow. Even smaller OEMs are updating to 6.0

Most northern States give particular attention to doctor corp members, notably better accommodation & higher State allawee. I recommend Sokoto State

Unless there's a woman involved. Most of my dates cost me about $70 for food, not including the gas I use to drive there.

Lol, badt guy I feel you. I doubt you'll take any of your dates to go chow 50 bucks moi-moi though

flyca:
Cassava dust indeed. Lolz

The truth is that 50dollars is not that much money (for those whose local currency is dollar) but our exchange rate is bad.

That's not true. Don't let the exchange rate fool you.

The average American won't spend $50 on just a plate of junk food.

The state government is waging and Islamic jihad on the workers , work for months with no pay is a psychological emotional and spiritual jihad ... They are killing us gradually therefore we'll device a means and survive for we're victors

Why bring Islam into this? Even the bible said let's live in peace with all men, irrespective of the person's religion I suppose. Let's try to be tolerant of people that don't share our views.

Unto the matter you raised: It's actually a war waged on the ruled by the ruling class, the so-called elite. Frankly the party, tier or arm of government doesn't matter coz they constitute the same like minded, self-serving mofos

Pathetic country and state.

Where they voted in the first place?

If I wasn't wouldn't tell u I own an LG phone. Itz Verizon branded.. Buh u can change the StockOS

LTE bands/network are strictly hardware issues & have nothing to do with the software the phone is running neither can it be altered by a software fix.

mmsen:
That's the most recent news story, I didn't need to dig. It's doing the rounds on social media.

You still haven't explained or supported your point.

The facts are:

Top athletes typically find alternate accommodation during the Olympics, it last time in London, in 2012. It happened previously in Beijing, in 2008.The US basketball team has always done so this time and idiots are shouting about 'blackman mentality' without:

a) explaining what a 'blackman mentality' is
b) explaining why so many 'white' athletes are also staying away from the Olympic Village
c) explaining why they should not stay in a venue where they have the best security and comfort

Australians are complaining about their accommodation - Rio Olympics Athletes' Village Declared "Uninhabitable" http://deadspin.com/rio-olympics-athletes-village-declared-uninhabitable-1784219622. Do they also suffer from the so-called 'blackman mentality'?

And here's more Rio news - Russian diplomat shoots dead armed mugger in Rio:
http://metro.co.uk/2016/08/05/russian-diplomat-shoots-dead-armed-mugger-in-rio-6048889/#mv-b

Why should I address your questions when you dodged mine b4 asking yours?

Every city got it's good & bad sides. Aside the negative news & reports, ask yourself when last the top media outfits cnn, BBC etc etc reported something that's commendable in South America or Africa?

Do you know there were terror & crime related attacks during some previous sports events hosted by your beloved US of A? Google it then maybe you'll have a rethink.

This matter has been over flogged, enough said. I'll stop responding to comments on this thread henceforth.

Dongreat:
Bro my advice is don't quote em again. When I saw the comment that this cheap mtk phone fingerprint scanner is faster than iPhone 6s, I know it's all gimmick to trap the gullible. iPhone 6s scanner is so fast that it skips notifications such as missed calls or messages, reason why iOS 10 is changing the unlock pattern. Fastest scanner ever produced (iPhone 6s) not to talk of durability, premium feel, friendly and easy OS. Reason why people condemn iPhone it's because they don't have the cash to spend on it. I used to until I purchased it and I know innovation when I see one. iPhone make phones that are called the next best thing, while others make to call 'the iPhone model killer'. @op, your infinix maybe good but please never compare to any iPhone. Cheers.
Ps: no one should quote for a debate cos I ain't paid by Apple or android, so won't engaged.

People don't condemn iPhones but the attitude of some few insecure iPhone users like you. FYI there are now so many smartphones within the price range of iPhone 6s plus, yet you don't see them making so much noise on the internet.
The days iPhone was a status symbol is long gone mate, don't get pissed coz others are now going for value for their hard earned money, China or not

mmsen:
The top golfers and tennis players also have alternate/superior accommodation - is that also due 'blackman mentality'? Those that have the means usually do not stay in the village because the hames village is, at best, a mediocre venue.

A lack of quality hotels was a comment made by several media outlets and the US basketball administration decided to take appropriate action. The Australians have been crying that they wish they'd found alternate accommodation because the official quarters are a disgrace - is that also because of a 'blackman mentality'? They've been saying for years that Rio would need a lot of work to be ready for such events.

How about the athletes who have said that they won't be going to Rio because they fear for their health and safety? Is that also due to 'blackman mentality? Is it a 'blackman mentality' that has some people worried about the Zika virus during Brazil's winter time when mosquitos will be non-existent? Or in Rio when the Zika virus is more prevalent in northern Brazil?

Some of you have a level of self-hatred thah makes me wonder why you don't top yourselves instead of occupying space and spewing nonsense. What the hell is a 'blackman mentality'?

Many athletes will nat be staying in the games village. It happens every tournament. I'm still not sure why it's such a big deal to some of you.

P.S.
This is the Rio that you are defending - Bus full of Chinese basketball reporters caught in roadside gunfight on the way to Olympic Village in Rio:
http://shanghaiist.com/2016/08/05/rio_roadside_shoot_out.php

Self hate you say? How about passing your point across without being abusive? It's not like you're gonna be paid throwing around insults to anybody that doesn't share your views.

Digging thru Google to find negative news links ain't gonna validate the fact that a cruise ship accommodation for a select few is out of place & completely unnecessary. Would they be putting on gas mask during the basketball matches for fear of zika virus? Enough said, peace out

RitzyPrince:
start iPhone vs MTK phones war

Used iPhones you mean

I've come to realize that folks that spend 150k to 200k upwards on their gadgets don't really care what others use or see them differently. It is those "London used & US used" Apple product users that won't let us drink water & drop cup

RitzyPrince:
i understand, that's why I said save, plan for it knowing when u buy its long term buy..., It's not like these Chinese phones are cheap this days anyway. This phone cost whooping 47K OP et al., add some cash to that and you'll get yourself a London used iPhone 5s instead of buying this poo.

London used

How about you let people that want to use "spanking brand new" smartphones spend their money how they want it?

Must you always settle for used & dumped stuff?

Mikeiron78:
We've got to stop the poor poverty-stricken thinking in Nigeria, so, you're telling me that living a comfortable life that you can afford is a waste of money? Think about it again and let it sink before you reply bro,lol. Everyone cannot win gold at the Olympic, but check the historic record and let me know how many times the USA won gold. No insult intended, We need to upgrade our thinking to an intellectual one.

funny how you reason about being successful.

That "poverty-stricken" reasoning is why you don't see most black American celebrities remain up there for a long time, not to talk of their entire life. We've seen it time & again of super rich boxers, musicians etc squander their wealth away while their white counterparts remain in the good life & pass it on to the offspring.

Have you ever wondered why the top 3 richest men have retained & been shuffling those rich-list positions among themselves? It is called being prudent

Mikeiron78:
Living a comfortable life you can afford is showing off? Americans don't show off like Nigerians do, check your fact, money and being comfortable bring success. Explain to me how those who are from rich families make it better and faster than those that are not born with silver spoon in their mouths. let's stop hating, if you can't beat them, join them bro,lol

We're not talking about social class nor stratification. The International Olympic Committee already knows that several of these sportsmen are millionaires before approving the Olympic village for use. It's a sports tournament and not some jamboree so all that's needed is the basics.

Are you saying the Australian NBA stars that are chilling with the rest of the Australian contingent are dumb or broke? The point is why bring about unnecessary media attention when that's not the main objective why they're there? Come to think of it, how many of the NBA stars were born with a "silver spoon" as you put it?

Don't let your sentiments for anything Nigerian blindfold you to think this ain't showing off.

Funny how you guys rush to say "hating" in simple argumentation when neither of us are directly connected with the subject matter.

mmsen:
It happens all the time, at every Olympics. The US basketball players, the tennis players and the high profile golf players get their own, superior accommodation. Usually it's a hotel but there aren't enough good quality hotels in Rio so they've had to charter a cruise ship hotel. I'm not sure how this constitutes showing off.

Nor do I can't blame them, the dorms provided are of a low standard.

You mentioned the World Cup in Brazil, there were serious concerns pertaining to accommodation during that tournament as well:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2509591/Englands-World-Cup-squad-stay-hotel-overlooks-Brazils-biggest-slum.html

"there aren't enough good quality hotels in Rio" Did I just read that correctly?

C'mon man, Rio de Janeiro is a top holiday destination & that wasn't just a media propaganda. I ain't a Brazilian but I find that statement of yours insulting, discrediting an entire city just to justify your point.

So the rest of the US contingent using the Olympic village & lodging at hotels are 3rd class American citizens right?

Someone said "Blackman mentality" above and you guys were seeking for his head. I can't say am surprised in all these since almost the entire US basketball team is made up of blacks.

mmsen:
You don't appear to understand the words that you read or those which you write.

The poverty rate in NYC is much lower than in Rio where poverty is rife.
http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/olympics/olympics-2016-the-road-to-rio-gold-is-paved-with-grinding-poverty-10439009.html

Basketball players are amongst the wealthiest athletes in the world. Average salary in the NBA: $5,883,681; Median Salary: $3,241,800
http://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/players.html

That is not sentiment. Income levels in Rio are lower. Infrastructure is worse in Rio and crime is much worse in Rio, it's one of the most dangerous cities on earth:
http://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-advice/travellers-stories/being-a-tourist-in-one-of-the-worlds-most-dangerous-cities/news-story/984e1cfd483208801f7552665187d764

But you keep telling yourself otherwise, it's clear that you are not working with a clear deck of cards.

Please broaden your reading base because your knowledge of the world is horrendous.

Agreed the other athletes are broke & New York income index far exceeds that of Rio but least you forget it's the same place that hosted a galaxy of stars in the World Cup. You certainly can't say hundreds of professional footballers plying their trade in top leagues were broke azz too.

We ain't saying their ain't rich but this is just unnecessary show-off because it's certainly not the first time US basketball stars are going to the Olympics.

princeofpeace22:
We need a reset in nigeria

Comments & comparisons like this are totally unfair. The U.S. has been running its own shet since the 18th century, it wasn't always rosy for them too you know?

Like they say "Rome wasn't built in a day". If we put in more effort into bettering ourselves, I think we may get their faster.
Cheers

RichYoungNigga:
Wow
I so much love Buhari, he made many of us millionaires in just 6 months.
I hope he rules Nigeria for 90 years

Can you just calculate how much $5000 (little change) is in naira

$5000 is not "little change" even in the US, get your facts right

Nice specs but with the way the exchange rate is depreciating against the naira won't be surprised if this device starts at half a mill

greenhulk:
U keep talking about apps. How about microsoft make good apps for their phones then developers can follow. Take a look at Google apps, they are sleek and well polished. Apple apps also are well polished and they just work. But look at Microsoft apps, they look unfinished and ugly with oversized icons. The only Microsoft apps that are good are the office apps.

From errors downloading updates from the windows store to legacy apps just disappearing from ur phones. I had a lumia 920 once and my contacts app just disappeared like that. Go to the windows store it will tell u the app is already downloaded but I couldn't find it in the app list. I checked online and found out lots of people had the same problem. When microsoft can't make their own apps work, how can they attract developers? Do u think owners of Facebook and Instagram cannot make good apps for Windows? Yes they can but the windows architecture is f!cked up that is why apps look ugly on them, the whole os needs a revamp. If iOS.. a closed and restricted OS can have developers making apps for it than a more open and older windows phone, then there's something microsoft is not doing right.

And who told u that u can't download and upload files on safari? It is obvious u don't use an ios device. I use both ios and android, though android is more functional, u can't take away the fact that ios is just sleek with better battery and ram management.

Dude, this argument ain't gonna stop anytime soon especially with Elxandre on the thread. The guy pops out whenever Windows os is mentioned (no offence).

@Elxandre I think you should be open minded in your usage of tech coz it's about the most dynamic sector. How about you play around the other mobile operating systems so as to get a better picture why people are jumping ship from Windows os or cause of its remarkably slow growth rate?
