drphantom:
There is. The blackberry Priv. And it's a fantastic machine. Plus blackberry has 3 new android phones in the works which include budget phones.

Thanks bro!
BlackBerry for life!!!

Truth be told: Mobile banking, like you have in the M-Pesa is the way to go at least simple daily transactions.

Nigerian banks resisted the change as a plague but you can't blame them: after building the huge banking infrastructures across the country then MTN and Co will now partake in a big slice of their money.

Nigerians are the loosers in all these: I give you an instance!

Last month I received my very first payment from PAGA( a fintech company) from one of my customers; rather than close her shop to go deposit the money at the bank, she just went to the PAGA kiosk next door and the paga operator, collected her cash and of course a small commission( which my customer would have spent on Okada, talk less of the time and stress) and instantly I recieved the alert

Such transactions are easier with fintech/mobile solutions due to they can be as close as the nearest recharge card retailer next door; you receive and send cash instantly 24/7 without recourse to banks, ATMs,Internet banking or mobile apps......the huge difference now is that you can actually send the cash you have in your leather wallet to a stranded loved one(who can recieve it without recourse to ATMs or visiting banks both in real time!!!

This certainly will certainly capture a huge chunks of bank deposits which Nigerian banks are not yet willing to part with

All hail the sophisticated tribes

Blackberry Z30 has got android OS 5.1 though, but still uses blackberry application world, would have been nicer with the Google play application platform.

Am sure blackberry will have playstore before the end of this year as they don't want to loose out fans because of whatsapp

ayoshyne:
In as much as we console ourselves that blackberry 10 runs like android, it can never be like an android with it still having blackberry application world platform unlike android OS phones with Google play application which has unlimited access to applications. Also blackberry application world is rigid on access to applications.

Thanks for the info. But I thought there is actually a blackberry with an Android OS

I will never leave blackberry for the world.....

But OP won't blackerry with an android OS run whatsapp?

1. If Buhari prosecutes an Igbo man for corruption, Igbo people will say he's doing ethnic cleansing.

2. If he prosecutes a fellow Fulani man, they will say it's because the criminal is a PDP member.

3. If he prosecutes a fellow APC member, they will say it's because the criminal is giving Buhari a tough time within the party & they're trying to frustrate the accused out of the party.

4. If he prosecutes someone that doesn't belong to any political party, they will say it's because the criminal is an anti-government critic.

They're yet to say whether the person being prosecuted is guilty of the said crime or not. We're simply comedians! I already said it. Buhari's anti-corruption fight won't be possible inasmuch as we keep politicizing and ethnicizing the whole thing. To discover that the same set of people that want corruption stamped out are the same ones saying all these things breaks one's heart.

When GEJ was president, why didn't he also prosecute all the thieves in the opposition? He was trying to be Mr. Nice? Mr. Nice that landed us in what we are in right now?

Get me right. I want Aregbesola's account frozen like Fayose's. But if I'm to distribute gifts to a group of people whose names are on a list, does it matter whether I start from the top, bottom, or middle? The most important thing is that the name of anybody that gets the gift is on the list, isn't it? Ok. What if the gift finishes before it reaches some people?

Well, in this case, it's not exactly the same. Buhari's gift is enough to go round everybody. So no matter where he starts from on the list, nobody will miss out on the gift. And nobody can dictate to him where he should start from. He made the list, not you or me. He that makes the list reserves the right to start anywhere he wishes. Instead of wasting our energy arguing on where he's starting from, we should ask whether someone who doesn't deserve a gift has gotten one. If that hasn't happened, then what has the noise been all about?

You spoke very well and I agree with what you said cos I am guilty of always criticising the people buhari's EFCC are picking out for fraud.

The issue wailers have with Mr President is on issues of nepotism in appointments(see appointments in kitchen cabinet), vengefulness in victory (5% remark)favouritism in policy(grazing reserves and silence over Fulani herdsmen carnages) not mentioning the killing of scores of armless IPOB protesters without option of dialogue; flouting court orders, elongated detention of alleged looters.....and what is worst is the appointment of persons with large corruption cases like Fashola, Amaechi into his cabinet


You can do all these things and expect people not to sneer at your efforts at going after looters

raumdeuter:
People dont spill over in Secondary school. Every student who enters SS3 or Form 5 is entitled to take WAEC or WASC and they all get their certificate

Below is what Buhari classmates said

Coomassie said:
“While we were in school, Buhari was the head boy. He loves playing football. We were all close friends in school. After we finished secondary school, General Buhari decided to join the military, I joined the police and Justice Abdullahi decided to go to the university.”

“I, the late Shehu Yar’Adua, the late Halilu, a Grand Khadi in Katsina, Senator Abdul Ali, a Senator in the 2nd Republic and several other attended the same school”

On his part, Justice Abdullahi described Buhari as a brilliant student when they were in school, saying he was Buhari’s classmate from primary to secondary school, saying:

“I, Buhari and some others had the best results during our final examinations in secondary school back then. He was a very brilliant student in school, no doubt; we attended the same school from primary to secondary school.”

A certificate is worth a thousand words

Kinda of stuff buhari does: judgement before trial

jpphilips:
Just like the francophone and CFA economies did right? from buhari's speech I appreciate his sincerity saying it the way he feels it not the way it sounds or the economic theories of vodoo economists to say the least, in most of you, I see a group of disgruntled youths, what you think is a solution is being practised right behind you from Cameroon to Guinea, yet you are too dumb to realize how s!lly your suggestion is, most of you who enjoy your level of emptiness will still call buhari a dullard, what does that make you? Goat I guess?

When you learn social media ettiquette then you should quoting people.

You just didn't have to always show the whole world how poorly raised you were

MRSALT:
With the present political structure of Nigeria that encourages laziness? Except Nigeria is restructured to encourage accountability and healthy competition, no economist whether Harvard trained or UNILAG professor will turn around Nigeria Economy. This is not about political affiliations, but about making Nigeria a conducive place for everyone to live, raise their children and enjoy life.

You have just stated my position: at the root of our economic woes, at corruption is a lack of a well structured nation.

But truth is stubborn: the 'fake', lazy states are going bankrupt an there is no where around it again

2sexycom:
You know when people you talk about discouraging importation I laugh. Is our power sector working to begin with? Give people constant power supply and watch Nigeria transform herself in just 5-7 years.

Power is a factor but you have to deal with importation as it is! Power will take as long as 5-7 years to get fixed that is with a serious government.

The only way to encourage local production and making their prices competitive is buying devaluation.

@ cornelin

How will government encourage the local manufacturers if importation is still cheaper than local production owing to availability of cheap forex?

Not a fan of buhari but sorry Mr Deputy Senate President, if you are innocent then prove it biko


I concur with you: the wicked won't go unpunsihed







A very proud Igbo son

iflywithbuhari:
Do you think you are talking to kids. The dollar should be ramped up to 400naira and palliatives should be given to "Selected Few". Guy, it's people like you, that are leading Nigeria and Buhari to hell.

What's this fixation with low exchange rates? Is it so that you can buy iPhone for N10000?

Until importation is discouraged by devaluation, no fixed rate of dollar will stand over time...

Nigeria doesn't have an economy yet, if we don't deliberately fast now, we shall be forced to fast later by reality.

Now miss smartypants what is your solution cos your response didn't even suggest one

The Naira was over-valued since oil became Nigeria's main stay and that discouraged diversification and industrialisation whilw promoting importation of everything due to cheap petrodollars

As it stands now, the smartest thing to reverse that trend is to further mark up the dollar to N400 and give tax paillaitives to companies, social buffers to Nigerians in terms of mass transport, housing schemes, food availability and quality education etc

In about 6 years Nigeria will find its self in a superb state

That's precisely why you won the election...

Blaming past government after a year in office only means buhari and the APC are clueless about how to fix the country


I pray for wisdom for this government

greatiyk4u:
Hmmm,...........ur name says it all

Ikpe-azu...........meaning.....back judgment

It actually means final judgement

Pavore9:
U no well because of ftc you cc me!

how i for do nah

wirinet:
Sorry my Brother, it does not exactly work that way in practice, it is only in theory that Sovereignty belongs to the people. In practice Sovereignty is "surrendered" to the state or a king in the case of a monarchy. If everyone was free to agitate for self determination, the US would not have fought a civil war to keep the country one, Texas would have opted out of the United state (especially after a black man won the presidency), Scotland would not have fought 2 independence wars and wait 307 years before allowing them to have referendum.

Times have changed bro!

This is the 21st century and nations like UK and USA that fought civil wars won't do so now as seen in Brexit and a likely scotexit from UK

In Nigeria's case there is nothing like anyone surrendering sovereignty in the first place.

Nigeria's Unity is negotiable, it isn't a taboo a discourse; the socio-economic well being of the people living in Nigeria must come first before its Unity which so far has been an ill wind that blows only the elite good

OLX babe?

Truth

The guy is always looking sickly

Is it that Nigerian businessmen can't run companies without such humongous debts?



Modified
First time I would say first to comment

Pavore9 take note

wirinet:
Are you talking about a constitution that started with the following lines;

That's why I said you should revise your literature.....

In all honesty WHEN did the people of Nigeria "Solemnly resolved whatever....."

That never happened, the constuition itself is a fraud foisted by some greedy elements for their own narrow minded gains

blackpanda:
Actually u are the one who should do that

For what do they not understand in the clear provision of Section 14(2)(a) of the Constitution:“Sovereignty belongs to the people of Nigeria from whom government •••derives all its powers and authority”

blackpanda:
Actually, sovereignty belongs to the state not the people. But its the people that make up the state through election and voting (democracy). Secession is not a right, its a crime under nigerian law. No part of the country can break off on their own

Go and re-read your literature of government and statehood and sa yourself self-delusion
