But if one buys it directly from Apple or Amazon and ship to Nigeria, would it work well here in naija?


Thanks for the great enlightenment

IbileIfe:
While Apple maintains the same core hardware (like processors and cameras) worldwide, iPhones sold in the USA are structurally different from those sold in Africa. Because there are no official Apple Retail Stores in Africa, devices are imported from various regions and differ in several key ways:

SIM Card Support: USA models (iPhone 14 and newer) are completely eSIM-only and do not have a physical SIM tray. African markets typically import international versions from Europe, the Middle East, or Asia, which usually still retain at least one physical SIM slot.

Cellular & 5G Bands: USA models include millimeter-wave (mmWave) 5G antennas tailored for US carriers, which are often not present on models imported to Africa.

Model Numbers: iPhones destined for different markets have distinct model numbers. For example, US devices end in "LL/A", while those meant for Europe or the Middle East may end in "B/A" or "AE/A".

Regional Restrictions: Some features are disabled depending on where the phone was originally sourced. For instance, Middle Eastern variants sometimes disable FaceTime due to local government restrictions.

Purchasing & Warranty Caution
If you are buying an iPhone in Nigeria (or elsewhere in Africa) from independent retailers or third-party importers, it is common to encounter used "foreign-used" or refurbished devices (often referred to locally as "London-used" or "USA-used".

Apple does not offer global warranties for iPhones, so official Apple support or screen replacements for US models might not be honored in Africa. To check your device's origin, go to Settings > General > About and look at the letters right before the slash in the Model Number.

Before you buy, you can verify your device's exact specifications or country of origin by entering its model number on The iPhone Wiki.

Thank God.
Congrats.

Inbound?
Hold time?

SALE ALERT!!!

TAMUNO did it

I've been noticing increase in views on this particular domain.
it was initially priced for 1388 ish. so i just reduced it to 988 sometime last week or so.
and i woke up to a sale alert.

i prayed for this and Elroi came through.
To God be the glory

So true.

Congrats to all.
Thank God.

Greenscientist:
Congratulations to the seller.

Hardwork pays but it isn't everything.

Domaining can be funny at times. If the seller has known it would sale for 4 figures less than 3 months after, I'm sure he or she wouldn't have sold it for $10 to you.

Another angle, if the domain was still with the former owner, it may not have been sold by now either.
Grace! that's the difference.
Thank God.
Congrats.[quote author=ANTAX99 post=139423654][/quote]

The fact that you referred to Reno as Elite says so much about not only your current financial status but most importantly, your mental capacity.
It's well.
God bless you.

helinues:
Peter Obi's supporters should cover their face with something.

The same politics they take too serious is what the elites are seeing as friendly

They can continue destroying bridges as they claimed ladder will be okay for them to cross to the other side instead of bridge

So true!
@DomainPulse thanks for sharing!

Vikkoh:
This one makes more sense. Thank you Bossman.

98/100, Ethics in Philosophy department.

I resumed late that semester, was still at home, and course mates were calling me that the lecturer of the course is looking for ....(me). He was a new lecturer and that was the first course he took us on.

I was damn scared because I had no clue why he would be looking for me. And I don't like mingling with lecturers. I didn't go though.

But funny enough, the next appearance I made at his class /course , as I was answering his questions, he asked me in front of the class, are you......?
I said yes sir. And He said ok, lol , didn't know the man still remembered the name of the person that scored 98 in his course.
Lol ! Funny experiences.

Kemistri3:
What's the highest score you ever had during your tertiary institution days? And which course/level was that?

Me: 88
Introduction to Clinical Pharmacy
400l 1st semester

Let's go✍🏽

You're so proud disrespecting your own mum on a public forum!
Hmm! It's well oo. God help us.

JackDaAlienz:
I respect her 100%
Na some of her mumu behavior I no like

What should we do with this information please?

I have been working and living in my present place now for 4 months.
Not until last year, my work of almost 20yrs has been get up by 4am and go to work that takes me to 4,5,6 or 7pm in the evening.
So I don't have have much time to stay at home and know who is who in my area.
.
So my present work, practically sits me in one place which now made me observe the area and neighborhood. Though I still stay on my lane and don't interact or mingle that much except with one or two close friends.
I live in practically students and youths working in majority of Chinese companies in Ogun state surrounding.
So majority of the houses in the area are hostels occupied by this youths.
.
Within my 2nd months of being in this area, I noticed 2 female friends who are very close and live together in same apartment.
Rumors from the one or two friends I have said they're lesbian.
I shrugged it off, after all if they're, "how e take concern me".
I started believing the rumor after I caught them on two separate occasions kissing and smooching each other on two separate nights when they were outside receiving fresh air at a secluded spot.
.
Fast forward to some weeks back, it was strange to many observers who noticed one of them was pregnant. How come? Was the question on everyone lips in the area.
As I am typing this now, the unpregnant one who I later heard own the apartment they're staying has angrily sent the pregnant partner packing two days ago, with most people laughing and mocking them behind.
Since that Thursday, we haven't seen either of them even though according to their co hostel tenants, their things are still inside their apartment.
.
Whether it's shame or what that's keeping the main apartment owner away we can't say. But they're the gossip of the area now.

Who be this?

Dey no train you ni?
Aside domain hustling, a man who's old enough to father you nahim you dey talk to like this ni?

@ oga iykkpromotion kindly ignore please..

Wealth355:
Senior man no vex ooo
If I were at Ur levels I'll not be celebrating sales below 1k
at Ur levels you done suppose leave geo domains teytey
You should in dsame level with them abdul basit
The boy way you tutor, I da very sure you no da near his current levels now
Leave your comfort zone bro
You are too shallow minded

Lol! I wonder where you lot are getting all these false teachings from! Lol .

So you can't relate or have a direct intimate relationship with God Himself and be covered? You only receive spiritual covering only when you have a spiritual father ! Very funny.
May God Have mercy on us.

RhemaJet7:
Spiritual Fatherhood is very important.
As a believer, if you don't have a Father, you're running a risk, exposed to DANGER.
The type of Spiritual Coverings a Father provides, no one can provide it.

Below, is a scripture for Spiritual Fatherhood:

1 Thessalonians 2:11-12

For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children,

encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.

Shalom

That is left for the christian folks to react.
I expect David Ibiyeomie to talk on it

Hello chief,
Good afternoon boss,

Just a friendly reminder sir.

Still expecting your details sir, so I can do the needful.
God bless you sir.

U1:
I don't usually like being solicited in this way and do turn down all such solicitations. I have never bought any domain from a fellow domainer and it's not in my plans yet to start doing so.

However, you may send me a PM.

Good morning boss,
Details sent.

Kindly send your username/ email address too so I can do the needful boss.

God bless you boss.
You're really one of a kind boss.
I appreciate it boss.

Hi UI,

Congrats on your recent sales:

I wanted to ask if you would be interested in acquiring the domain name: OrganizeLabs.com for #5k?
It's currently listed at Atom premium. I wanted to renew it, but I'm currently pressed for cash to do so at the moment hence my reaching out to you chief, (someone who have the means to put it to good use).

It's registrar is dynadot and it's due to expire on the 21 of this month.
It's a great brandable with lots of views on Atom.
If it's ok with you sir, kindly let me know what you think sir.
PS: you can only make payment after receiving and confirming the domain in your account.
Thank you sir.
All the best.

U1:
They still had the gut to send this! It's probably automated, I guess.

Will definitely try this.
Thanks for sharing.

Dinner. Garlic-thyme chicken for six with a non-carb plate for hubby.

Simple and stress-free with out-of-proportion taste for the little effort 😌

Salt
Black pepper
Chicken (thigh or drumstick is best)
Garlic (unpeeled, if whole, cut in half)
Chicken stock or chicken cube like knorr
Thyme
Lemon or white wine (optional)

1) season the chicken with salt and pepper
2) Brown the chicken on one side on high heat (not cooking, just Browning)
3) turn the chicken, add the garlic and brown other side. If using whole garlic, put it cut-side down PICTURE 3
4) add thyme and chicken stock
5) cover on medium heat and cook until some of the liquid is gone and the chicken is completely cooked. PICTURE 1 If using lemon or white wine add a splash before covering.
6) eat with whatever you like, but it tasted great with white rice or potatoes PICTURE 2

TIPS
Use a heavy pot or pan
You can chill the sauce and use it as salad dressing😉

Total time, about 35-45 minutes.

Lol! Now, you're getting my point, by re-echoing the same message I passed in the bolded below. Which is doing what works for you, qed.

You were referencing only sales that took years, 4 or more to happen as a general standard and a norm in domaining, I only pointed out to you and still reiterate that's not the general standard though, some sales happens within minutes, hours and days. Just know what works for you and stick to it.

I may not be able to respond again.
Cheers bro, No bad feeling.

Greenscientist:
Where did I contradict that? Try and fulfill the requirements of success in a particular strive before you beg for grace and mercy.

I still try and chase quick sales but I've shifted my model from it. If I can't keep it, I won't buy it.

Lol! And you forgot that, there are some that sells within minutes, hours and days!

Just do what works for you and keep on praying God for grace and mercy. Dat's all.

Greenscientist:
The bottomline is "get good domain"

Domaining is a long-term investment not a quick one like most of us want it to be.

If we check many sales report online, not many happens within the year of registry. Check Gpexchange and other boss sales too.

Someone register brivly as far back as 2019 or so but just get sold now. Years of waiting....

I must commend you seriously! How you got time and energy to be preparing all these meals all the time is really strange to me oo. I can't relate at all oo. Ah! Though I love good food but preparing them all the time... Hmm, I don't think I can. I would rather outsource it. No be only me come work.
Kudos ma'am! Your family is really enjoying. Keep it up. Bravo.

You see the way these people are throwing big figures squandered, while majority of the masses are languishing in poverty, some even go to bed on empty stomach, you know that Nigeria is finished.

Please kindly share the list @ the bolded. That high bounce rate can be a nightmare on itself.

Subject: My Nightmare With Mailsuite

Due to this, I was compelled to search how I can verify if an email address is still active and not dormant. Google I mode gave me a list of websites that do the job.

What is the way forward now? I want to send some mass emails today! Never, ever give up.

By the way, ns uses Mailsuite. His opinion would be appreciated.

See you! ! Thank God for Catholic Church sha, people who are not even Catholics, even Muslims sef dey troop Rev. Father's Office every Tuesday and dey receive different financial assistance from the Church, let alone, bonafide members of the Church.

ERockson:
You attended the church for just almost 3 years and demanding financial help based on period you've been with the church, what about pastors's children that have been there for more than 20 years and could not get financial helps for their children.
Pastos can not help everybody approaching them for helps. Now that you are a nurse and earning money how many people have you helped financially, how many school fees have you paid for the less privileges. If you have no enough records of helping many people or all people coming to you for helps, you are not better than the Pastor. If you and your Mom have been saving the money you paid for tithe and offering you might not be in the financial problem that will bring you to pastor for help. So, Because you paid tithe and offering in your church, the pastor must help you. Entitled mentality is your problem

What's the way forward please 🙏?

jmoore:
I created a topic about it last year. https://www.nairaland.com/8569798/food-nigeria-higher-level-iron

During grinding, iron that is part of the metal used in fabricating the grinding machine keeps breaking into smaller pieces which contaminates the grinded food.

What's the way forward please?

jospepper:
I think it's because most the artisans who fabricate those grinders do not use food grade steel.

This is what I found on google

Key Dangers of Non-Food Grade Steel in Grinders

Heavy Metal Contamination: Non-food grade equipment can shed iron filings, rust, and other metal residues (like manganese) into food, which are harmful upon ingestion.

Toxicity and Long-Term Health Risks: Exposure to heavy metals from grinding machines can cause severe health issues, including kidney and liver damage, neurological disorders, and cancer.

Corrosion and Rust: Carbon steel and low-grade metals corrode when exposed to moisture and salt, leading to pitting and rust spots that contaminate food.

Bacterial Growth: The rough, pitted surfaces of corroded, non-stainless [/b]materials can harbor bacteria, which grow up to 40% faster than on proper food-grade stainless steel.

Toxic Leaching: [b]Acidic foods (like tomatoes) can react with lower-grade metals (e.g., 200 series) and cause toxic metals like nickel or chromium to leach into the food.

Unsafe Chemical Exposure: Some non-food grade metals may contain contaminants such as lead, which are dangerous when ingested.

How can you do this heavy nice project without digging a proper borehole? It wouldn't cost more than 2M.

Relying on well water, as in well water? in this age and time to water the building is mind boggling to me oo.

Please kindly dig a proper borehole for your peace of mind.
Congrats.

Kanwulia:
Fixing plumbing issues.
I had to change all the old pipes for the tanks and buy “sumo pump” for pumping water from the well. I also had to dig up the well to get the water to flow consistently.

•Welding the well cover so we keep the sumo pump safe.
• Bought generator to ensure electricity
•Miscellaneous items - freezer, blender, stabilizer.
