Ir blaster is not a feature but a gimmick for kiddies
How is an IR blaster now a gimmick for kiddies??

@OP

Though I agree an IR blaster should not be the main thing you consider in choosing a phone its definitely a very useful addition as countless times it has saved me at home and in the office- and people who see me controlling all sorts of devices from my phone are always in awe.

I like this suggestion.

But I still think, though a bit dated, Letv/Lecco s3 has the best specs and build at that price.

Snapdragon processor, 3g RAM, 32gb memory and more important testimonies all over Nairaland.

Check Jumia for it and you maybe able to get it express.

PoliticsRe: Motion Seeking Appointment Of Igbo As Service Chief Suffers Setback In Senate by AndroBlaze:
Throwback:
How many Service Chief positions are available? Just 4.

How many geopolitical regions exist in Nigeria? 6.

How many tribes exist in Nigeria? Over 100.

Sen. Victor Umeh, while fighting for his own tribe and region, should have told us which region currently occupying a Service Chief role out of the 4 available (2 to the North and 2 to the South), should be dropped in favour of the almighty Igbo?


Maybe Buhari should drop the SouthSouth Naval Service chief for their greedy Igbo neighbours?





Imagine this Senator even has the names of Igbos who he hopes would replace the Chief of Army Staff?

By this singular mention, he has killed the career of a political soldier.


So the North East too, upon losing Buratai, would then raise their own motion that they are not included in a slot of only 4 positions that all regions and tribes cannot occupy simultaneously?

What manner of senatorial buffoonery is this?


Na so that Eyinnaya Abaribe just lose his N300m bond to hunchback Kanu's megalomania?
I have never seen a tribe that love to self harm as much as the Igbo.

Is it a crime to be an intelligent hard working Igbo man?

They did this to this man earlier (Maj Gen Nicholas) when they almost killed his career after a core Northener paid glowing tributes straight from the heart thanking him for doing what other commanders from the North failed to do. This was a man never heralded by his people who usually spit at our Atrmed Forces.

However once he was recognized by the Gov Shetimma, as a brilliant and courageous officer, the next move by his people was to denigrate all officers of Northern extraction as weaklings and canvas that Boko Haram can only be defeated if we beg and recruit the whole of Umuahia into the Army. Immediately after these sentiments were made public, within a few days we heard of disharmony in the Army and moves to replace Maj Gen Nicholas.

How he has survived this long is only by the grace of God.

But now his career has finally been brought to an end by a so called elder who was once the chairman of their national party.

I ask again, is it a crime to be an intelligent hard working Igbo man?

With brethren like this no one needs enemies. Even the biblical Joseph's brothers are not as bad as these people.

PoliticsRe: Full List Of Nigerian Senators That Dump APC For PDP by AndroBlaze: 12:23pm On Jul 24, 2018
CilicMarin:
1..Rabi’u Kwankwaso (Kano-Central)
Already displaced by his State Governor, Granduje. He hasn't stepped into Kano State for the past 2 years..

2. Dino Melaye (Kogi-West)
Already displaced by his State Governor, Bello. He can't win any election in Kogi State.

3. Adesoji Akanbi (Oyo-South)

Displaced by His Governor Ajimobi. He cannot get return ticket under APC.

4.Monsurat Sunmonu (Oyo-Central)
The same as No. 3 above.

5.Rafiu Ibrahim (Kwara-South)
Anywhere Saraki faces..So non issue.

6.Suleiman Hunkuyi (Kaduna-North)
Already displaced by his State Governor Elrufai. Can't get ticket under APC.

7. Lanre Tejuoso (Ogun-Central)
Already replaced by his Governor Amosu. No chance of getting return ticket under APC.

8. Usman Nafada (Gombe)

Displaced during APC state convention in Gombe State. He can't get return ticket under APC.

9[b]. Ibrahim Dambaba (Sokoto)[/b]
Wants to follow his Governor to PDP.

10.Mohammed Shittu (Jigawa)
Displaced by his State Governor.

11.Isa Misau (Bauchi)
Displaced by his state governor.

12.Suleiman Nazif (Bauchi)
The same as No 10 Above.

13.Shaaba Lafiagi (Kwara)
Anywhere Saraki goes.

14. Barnabas Gemade (Benue).
Displaced by George Akume faction of APC. Can't get ticket under APC.

15.Senator Abdul-Azeez Murtala-Nyako (Adamawa)

Displaced by the Governor, Bindow. Can't get ticket under APC.

So from above analysis, it is all about political survivals and has nothing to do with opposing Buhari, unlike in 2015, where people defected because Jonathan.

Political Lessons, free of charge!
Good analysis.... I wondered why Tejuoso decamped, but its clear every single SW senator on that list is not guaranteed an automatic ticket.

Selfishness is the name of the game with these politicians.

EducationRe: What's A Person Who Studies/studied English Language Called? by AndroBlaze: 2:14pm On Jun 12, 2018
Pedekunle:
You captured my mind.

A linguist must combine, at least, knowledge of a foreign language with the primary language of study. Thus, there is the large tendencies of COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS in the work that qualifies you to be called a linguist.

The study of one pure language such as English doen't make you a linguist even though that is what most students are made to believe
What people are not getting is that in English the term has an ordinary or everyday meaning and a professional one.

Everyday meaning: speaks varied languages (especially foreign in nature)

Professional meaning: a professional in Lingusitics

It seems our English Students, just like most Nigerians, are fascinated with nomenclature and badges.
EducationRe: What's A Person Who Studies/studied English Language Called? by AndroBlaze: 1:52pm On Jun 12, 2018
dabaniru:
Hi Blaze, Just wondering what informed your position that a linguist would have to master foreign languages. First, one who is well grounded in multiple languages is a "polyglot" and not necessarily a linguist.

Next, if you read through "your" links, you would learn that linguistics is an important field in English Studies. So again, it beats me why you insist that studying the language does not make you a linguist simply because it is your spoken language - weird logic I must say.

Now, if your position was that studying a course does not automatically bestow you the right to d title ( e.g. not all mathematics students should be called mathematicians), then I might agree with you - since the mere decision to study a course does not make one a master of that course.

So OP, for d sake of clarity, anyone who studies a language and 'masters' the structure, history, grammar, dialects, etc.of that language, can be called a Linguist. To put this in context, your friend studying English Language is studying to be a linguist.

Cheers!
Hello Dabaniru, i was responding to the OP and a particular line from the person I quoted; which I put in bold.

As you rightly point out studying a subject does not mean you can be termed a professional in it. I read Economics in school and had a healthy dose of Accountancy and Law completed as my main modules. I am not an Accountant or Lawyer based on that. Even calling myself an Economist would be stretching it as I read Business Econmics and most people who refer to themselves as Economists are masters in the macro level (thats if you believe Economics can be mastered; thats another subject)l.

However I can see where, I may have caused confusion and I have edited my post to add "OR" which was what I meant and you can see that was the reply I gave immediately to the guy who asked about studying French in a French speaking country.

So I disagree with you that studying English or mastering it in an English Speaking country will allow you to be termed a Linguist unless your field of expertise is Linguistics . Another way to look at it, not all doctors are called Paedetricians though most doctors can treat children.

Again, my responses were only at the OP and the guy I quoted who I feel jumbled it all up.

asuustrike2009:
What would you say for a person that studied French in a French speaking country?
I think that is self explanatory.

He would not be considered a linguist unless he masters foreign languages (non- French in this case) or studies linguistics.
EducationRe: What's A Person Who Studies/studied English Language Called? by AndroBlaze:
asuustrike2009:
A linguistics is the scientific study of language and its structure, including the study of grammar, syntax, and phonetics. We have various type of linguistics. They include linguistics in English, linguistics in French , linguistics in Yoruba, Linguistics in Efik and among others. A person who studies a language is called a linguist. Hence if I study French or English I am a linguist[
I strongly disagree with this.

In most English Speaking Countries anyone who has a strong and formal understanding of a "Foreign" language(s) could be termed a Linguist. Thus if you have have a strong formal grasp of French, calling you a linguist would not be far off.

However you would not be termed a linguist because you studied "English" in an "English" speaking country as:

1. it is not foreign to us
2. Most of the course has to do with English literature and logical thinking and not the scientific "break down" of the language as you highlighted.

The answer is:
1. An English Graduate in the UK and most of the CommonWealth
2. An English Major in the US.

Therefore you should only be termed a Linguist in an English Speaking country if:

1. You have mastered Foreign Languages; OR
2. You study Linguistics.
