Please who has an idea of what import duty charge should be? DHL is charging me 30% duty plus 7.5% VAT which is outrageous.

Good morning house, please does anyone in Port Harcourt know of a reputable repair shop where I can fix my note 7 screen. I have the replacement screen already, I just need a professional to swap the broken one for the new one.

Ordered and delivered to Abakaliki by Dukelad. So far, I have used the services of a number of people on this platform but I won't lie Dukelad is one of the best experiences I have had so far and I won't think twice recommending him to another person.

Congrats bro, the only reason why l still use my RN5AI is because of the front flash, because l make a lot of video call on skype at night and sort. But l guess l will soon port to note 7
Thanks for this info, I've been using my Note 5 since it's launch and I'm just learning that it has a front flash. �‍♂️

I'm on 10.2, Redmi Note 5 and it hasn't been solved. I can switch on/off my data, WiFi, and hotspot without unlocking the phone.

please modify your 1st post, it sounded as if the phone was crap whereas your swollen power bank was the culprit.
How please? You should have asked me if I use the powerbank or if I was using the power bank to charge the phone. I should have changed the powerbank before now but I didn't the need to because since I bought the Redmi Note 5 I've hardly used it. I just need a powerbank now because I will be travelling during the holidays and the light situation may be worse there than here.

Are you saying it's the power bank or an unregulated charger. Cos the swelling is a sign of unregulated overcharging. I'm pretty sure the power bank can regulate charge output.

Just my thoughts sha
The powerbank uses a lipoly battery which can swell up not because of unregulated overcharging. You can Google it.

Sorry about that, factory defects are prevalent with any product. Maybe your unit is one of such.

Next time be sure of the workmanship level of a repairer before handing your device for repairs.


MODIFIED: Just seeing your comment on your power bank with swollen battery, am 90% sure it is the culprit of your phone charging issue
I understand that factory defects do occur but no one wishes for that. Hopefully I won't be needing a repairer ever again.
The thing is that the powerbank has been swollen for some months, I should have replaced but I didn't see the need to because I rarely use it because before I run out of charge, power will be restored. The OEM charger damaged the phone because it's what I have been using to charge it.

Mykcool:
what charger do you use? Try and check if that's the cause of your USB and battery swelling ish
The chargers aren't the problem which I'm sure. Btw I use Aukey and Xiaomi chargers, the Aukey is over 2 years I bought it the same time with the powerbank. I don't fault the powerbank, I did serve me for 2 years which I'm okay with.

I haven't had a phone go under the knife in less than one year of usage but it took my Redmi Note 5 about 6 months of usage to do so. I can't tell you how sad I feel seeing the dents and scratches the repairer left on the phone.

I charged my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 last night but just tried to charge it now and it's no longer charging even my laptop is not seeing the phone. I've swapped charger, usb even tested on another phone and they are all working. Hard to believe it's spoilt after just few months of using it.

Politics / Police Restructuring: A Letter To The President By A Concerned Nigerian. by Agbi4(m): 3:56am On Aug 19, 2018
Your Excellency, as you know, the world didn’t start from order; it started from anarchy. The default state of human community is anarchic — survival of the fittest. It was a predatory world with fellow humans as the prey. Therefore, as a prerequisite for modern human organisations, some countries of the world have gradually built up order. Others, especially weak democracies, are struggling to do so. Nigeria falls in this category of struggling nations. If so, Nigeria must do everything possible to strengthen her democratic institutions, including the Nigeria Police Force, for a world of anarchy is an awful place to be.

The Nigerian police is arguably the most talked about public establishment in the country. What dominates the discussion of most Nigerians on the police is not an outstanding corporate image. What manner of image does the Nigerian Police parade? Any Nigerian who is unaware that the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) is apostatized cannot be exonerated from three facts: being deceitful, simply lying and/or what I can’t describe.

Aggravated by insurgency and terrorism, insecurity has dealt convincingly with the NPF. In recent times, the police has suffered losses in personnel, ammunition and properties. I am unaware of any database chronicling these losses in a comprehensive manner. However, here is a randomized data set from the mainstream media to paint a picture for you, Mr. President.

On April 30, 2016; no fewer than 359 policemen were killed on duty between January 2014 and April 2016, the then IGP, Mr Solomon Arase revealed. Arase made this known at a lecture he delivered at the University of Jos, entitled: “Police and Public Partnership in Prevention and Control of Violent Crimes and Conflicts in Nigeria”. He continued, 272 policemen sustained various degrees of injuries within the same period, while intervening in civil conflicts.

On November 24, 2016; the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, described as worrisome, the rate at which officers and men lose their lives in the course of discharging their statutory duties. He stated that in the past three months (September to November), the Force had lost 128 personnel in various parts of the country due to activities of those he labeled undesirable elements.

On June 22, 2018; it was reported that Shi’ite protesters stoned a policeman to death in Kaduna. Recently, on April 06, 2018; a gang of robbers invaded police and bank headquarters in Offa, killing 15 people including nine police officers in Offa, Kwara State.

Your Excellency, that the personnel of the Nigerian police have been murdered or killed in their numbers should not be surprising to close observers. They die almost every day. The heavy casualty usually sustained by the police, does not elicit public outcry because of their unsavory reputation for brutality and human rights violations. The police should protect lives (including their own lives) and properties. Anything to the contrary brings the organisation to disrepute and causes them to be derided. The consistent failure of the NPF to proactively respond to aggression and win public trust in return has contemptuously made its members, especially the dreadful #SARS, to be ridiculed.

Sir, your disposition to appease Nigerians by ordering that the deadly police unit, SARS, be rebranded to Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) is hasty and never persuasive (at least, that is the current perception). The image of the police is terrible; changing their uniforms and nomenclature is convincingly a cosmetic intervention. Security is hindered, not enhanced, in an atmosphere where the police has lost her corporate image — it suggests a systemic decay.

Sir, I expected a re-appraisal of police training and education programmes. A 21st century policing is all about intelligence, thinking and problem-solving. I expected a decentralization that would give way to a multi-level policing that would comprise federal police, state police, local police, and Vigilante. Decentralizing the police would see Nigerians and communities taking ownership of police structures and that would encourage productivity in return. Where a multi-level policing exists, community safety would be habitually guaranteed.

I expected an executive order that would address the welfare and emolument of the personnel. The police should be properly paid for them to maintain the correct appearance at all times and gain public respect as acknowledged by best global practices. Importantly, I expected an executive order that would immediately; declare a state of emergency in the Nigeria police Force. The government should begin enlistment of able-bodied, educated and emotionally intelligent Nigerians into the police. Can’t we see the inherent danger without doing so?

In part, the apparent failures of the police agency have led to a citizens-led movement to see that the Nigerian police is reorganized and reformed. National discussion on the movement to reform the police can be tracked or monitored using: #ReformPoliceNg and #EndSARS, as led by a tireless Nigerian and Lead Campaigner, Segun Awosanya. The indiscriminate assault; human rights violation and varying degrees of brutality by Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) can deteriorate to widespread civil disobedience and lawlessness, if allowed to fester. Can’t the authorities recognize the emergency status of this situation and treat same as such? A comprehensive review of the police is a task that must be done if the imminent condition of anarchy must be halted and reversed.


Your Excellency, I was trained first and foremost as an Agricultural Extensionist. It is my desire for rural development, social justice and social change that drove me into activism and #EndSARS movement, just like many other Nigerians. What I have done is pleading together that I may be justified. Changing SARS to FSARS is unsatisfactory, snobbish, offensive and condescending. I call for a comprehensive reformation of the Nigerian police with SARS/FSARS disbanded.

Your Excellency, thank you so much for reading this passionate letter. If this doesn’t get to you directly, I appeal to your uncountable aides to brief you as appropriate. A new Nigeria is possible. The message is clear: #EndSARS and #ReformPoliceNg,
