Politics / Re: MMM Vs Corruption! by asala1: 1:47am On Nov 17, 2016
MMM company founded by Mavrodi has been recognized as one of the largest pyramid schemes in Russia. According to experts it had about 10-15 million depositors in 1989-1994. After the company's collapse in February 1994, at least 50 people who deposited their money in MMM have committed suicide. The investigation recognized more than 10 thousand people to be the victims of this Ponzi scheme company, but according to some experts the number of defrauded investors is actually[b] closer to 10 million.[/b]

Mavrodi tried to escape the investigation but was caught in Moscow with a fake ID and arrested in January 2003. In April 2007, the court found him guilty of fraud and sentenced him to 4.5 years in prison


Yury Chikhanchin, the Director of the Federal Financial Monitoring Service in Russia warned:

"From the media, we know that MMM, with Sergei Mavrodi in charge, is currently expanding its activity in China. Russia has witnessed the collapse of a similar system by Mavrodi in the past, and thousands of defrauded investors still cannot recover their money until this day. I'm afraid our Chinese friends will face the same outcome."

It is difficult to accept the truth when it stares at you cause you are greedy. My advice to you is to do the needful when it happens here like those 50 people did in Russia. We need to have less foo.lish people to feed in this world.

She's milking the whole northern reject act and they're buying it hook line and sinker. It's good for her career now but it won't last, they don't care about her, they don't even want her. They're just enjoying the fact that they're "corrupting" a Kannywood reject. She should have stayed and pleaded for her career back, her manager has connections, the ban would have been lifted, instead she chose to shoot herself in the foot.


I give her one year and trust me she'll be dumped and forgotten. How stuupid of her to be a willing tool against the principles of her own people. Career suicide.

What is this one saying? She gave this interview long before she was ban.

Well, let assume I'm wrong ; though I haven't tried your method.but on Android , you don't need to go through all these hassles . It is seamless, the file saves to downloads by default . Can you also teach me how to delete multiple contacts without downloading an app for the work around ? Can you tell me how I can send some of my musics from my galaxy to my iPhone ? The iPhone produces between quality sound , no lie , but u won't expect me to be buying songs I already have on iTunes . Waiting for your response. Next time you wanna post, learn to do so with decorum, you might not know if you are insulting your big uncle paying your school fees. Or don't you wanna graduate?

You are such a child. Pulling the age card is so childish, not a surprise from someone using a phone to impress ladies.

Mr. Methuselah, I was just pointing out your ignorance, I don't have time to tutor you how to use a phone.

Please try to feed yourself first before trying to pay someone else's school fee.

I put it to you that you are a born liar . Download any PDF file, save it to your iPhone and send to bukkyehis@gmail.com . I don't believe you have an iPhone, maybe you are one of those poor guys who buy cloned ipnones running Android KitKat . If you are truly using iOS, you will know it is impossible . Though , I don't know if there is a special app to download for that. To delete multiple contacts from an ipnoe , u need a special app for the work around , otherwise ,u are left with deleting the contacts one after the other . My phone is running iOS 9.3. you can't tell me to do Google search to know the difference between an iPhone and a Samsung , BECAUSE, I have them both and I am a banker cum businessman. I know what I am saying and what I am doing . The best os for business is the defunct BB10 , it died because bb cane late with it hence lack of app support .

For example, Android doesn't compress attachment by default, so, you are to download certain app to do so. Meanwhile , in BB10, the compression of attachment size is inherent in the system . When it comes to technology, I don't think you can really argue with me. If actually Yoh use an iPhone, may be you are one of those who buy big phones just to show off without doing anything meaningful with it. As for me, my phones are my major tools. I hardly use my laptop . If there is anything like inputting figures in excel ,my secretary can do that with the PC and send to my email where I will view and edit on my phone -my trusted galaxy note. Oh boy stop telling me what I know .

Instead of writing long episode of ignorance, just say you don't know how to do it simple.

Download a PDF file, there will be an option on the right corner of your screen 'open it books' click that option and your file is saved there. If you want to attach the file in your email, you open your books app and send the file as email. Simple.

Africans are poor that's why they all these gadget as big deal, it's actually nothing in many parts of the world as people don't even need to save to buy one. A teenager working on minimum wage can comfortably afford to buy an iPhone 7 on a month pay.

Phones / Apple Confirms All Iphone 7 Plus And Iphone 7 Jet Black Models Are Sold Out by asala1: 4:21pm On Sep 15, 2016
With just one day to go before Apple’s new iPhone 7 models hit store shelves, Apple confirmed in a statement to TechCrunch that picking up select iPhone 7 devices at Apple retail stores will be all but impossible come Friday. Specifically, Apple relayed that all iPhone 7 Plus models and all Jet Black versions of the iPhone 7 are already sold out and will not be available as a walk-in purchase.

In other words, the iPhones everyone wants will not be available for purchase tomorrow.


Apple’s statement reads:

We couldn’t be happier with the initial response to iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, and we are looking forward to beginning sales through our retail stores and partners around the world.

Beginning Friday, limited quantities of iPhone 7 in silver, gold, rose gold, and black will be available for walk-in customers at Apple retail stores. During the online pre-order period, initial quantities of iPhone 7 Plus in all finishes and iPhone 7 in jet black sold out and will not be available for walk-in customers. Availability at partner locations for all finishes may vary and we recommend checking directly with them.

Customers can continue to order all models in all colors on apple.com. We sincerely appreciate our customers’ patience as we work hard to get the new iPhone into the hands of everyone who wants one as quickly as possible.


Users interested in a Jet Black iPhone or an iPhone 7 Plus can, per Apple’s suggestion, try their luck at various carrier stores and retail outlets like Best Buy; but if history is any indication, don’t be surprised to see both devices completely out of stock everywhere by Friday afternoon.

Funny enough, Apple last week signaled that it has no plans to publicly release launch weekend sales figures next Monday. All the while, early indications suggest that the iPhone 7 may crush all previous iPhone sales records. Sprint, for example, said that iPhone 7 pre-orders are already 375% higher than they were for the iPhone 6s.

Phones / People Are Getting $200 To Queue For 24 Hours To Buy The Iphone 7 by asala1: 4:09pm On Sep 15, 2016
Gergely Marton will be one of the many that will start a 24-hour queue this morning at Apple Sydney for tomorrow’s iPhone 7 release. But he’s doing it for a complete stranger.

The UTS business and engineering student has agreed to line up for $200 from a city office worker through Airtasker, a site and app that matches people who want jobs done with people who can get it done.

“The fee is $200 with $30 of that going to Airtasker,” Marton told Business Insider. “If I need a bathroom or meal break, the [person who commissioned the job] works in the city so will come and hold my place in the line.”

Airtasker users post all sorts of jobs from assembling Ikea furniture to getting tutoring on computer programming — both of which Marton has performed successfully over the three weeks that he has been on the site. But securing a proxy for the iPhone queue is “one of the most enduring and inventive uses of the platform we’ve seen”, said Airtasker marketing vice president Simon Reynolds.

“It may be an indicator on the popularity of the new iPhone, but we’ve noticed that people are posting jobs to queue for the iPhone earlier than previous years. Most are requesting the popular Jet Black version of the phone, which you can only gain early access to by queueing,” he said.

This is in contrast to those who pre-ordered online through Telstra to get their hands on the device first — many of those customers have been told they will not be receiving their smartphones Friday, as the telco took more pre-orders than it actually had in stock.

A spokesperson for Airtasker said Wednesday that $200 seemed to be the going rate to successfully get someone to line up for the iPhone 7. This compares to the $150 mark that was paid out for the same task during the iPhone 6 launch two years ago.

As for Marton, he said that on a per-hour basis, $200 for 24 hours of work is not very much — but he took on the job for the experience as much as the cash.

“I think it will be a social and friendly atmosphere, to stand in line with other people who really love Apple,” he said.

The other is not

Predictable you say? Which more predictable? To allow chance by nature to do something or to do it in the lab and be sure it will for sure happen. It is just like chosing the sex of your baby, you should know that you stand a higher chance in getting the sex you want through artificial insemination/sperm sorting than through normal sexual encounter.

BTW, please is the genes of the crop through natural process not modified?

BS! Which of the food you eat today hasn't been modified genetically? Nothing you eat today grows in the wild, human modified them. The wheat you eat today were once just grasses, potatoes were formally poisonous, wild apples are tiny and not sweet, carrots were white and not this sweet, there are many varieties of tomotoes that can be transport easily without much damage. Did you think God created them just that way? No, people modified them over many years to what you eat now.
