Yeah, definitely. It’s a very good phone but since I haven’t used the pixel 4xl, I can’t really compare them. I will be getting the 4xl soon though.

Have you later got the pixel phone. If yes how was the performance with the 11...
.
I've been wanting to buy iphone 11 too, but d lcd is what's weighing me down and I don't want to go for lower version like iphone xs max .
What's your view on the lcd screen, is it that bad as ppl condemn it when comparing it with OLED screens?

Hello tech savvies,

Please I just have this problem of choice between tow iphone models. Here are my reasons below.

I want to buy iphone, and I'm stucked between the budget of iphone xs max and iphone 11( almost same price).
...
I'm using camon 18pro now,,, I just need iphone to have the experience of iOS ecosystem and want to experience what the overhype is all about.
I also want to buy it for their good camera performance and most importantly the prestige attached to it.
..
I would have vouched for iphone 11, but it's liquid retina lcd screen is a turn off for me,, I love OLED screen. Though ppl say that the liquid retina lcd screen on iphone 11 is almost on par with an OLED screen.

As for xsmax, I understand that it only beat iphone 11 in the screen aspect,, but it's build design, lower prestige and few years software update is a turn off to me.
...
I understand that my question sounds funny, but that is the reality I'm facing now.
.
If I'm to ask you, which of the two will you go for?

MaDaRa01:
with common sense, P7P na

Please boss, I could see that you're great tech savvy,
I didn't know if you are as much versatile with iphones too.

I would really love to know. It seems aside getting married there's really no sure way of getting a US green card and citizenship eventually. Going to school in the US doesn't guarantee that you will stay back and make it to become a citizen.

It's quite easy through nursing... As a foreign nurse, once you're employed in the states, you'll be given permanent residency(green card) once you get there..
And to be honest, nursing and other medical courses are the best bet...
I see you emphasize most on physical science and engineering courses, but these has limitations on their own side...

Like you just detest and troll on UK not minding the fact that it's 10x better than this shithole and it's quite better than those poor and developing southern American countries...
....
UK almost have thesame economic system as those of other European countries... Almost thesame tax rate, almost thesame income rate.... Check the attached photos for more information.
.
In terms of economic system, Canada, us and Australia are quite better than the Europe...
But Europe and UK are quite better than the rest part of the world...
Talking about greener pastures, to me, UK is still a best option

American, Canada and Australia economic system are made to make you wealthy if you can put in the hard world.... While Europe and UK economic system are made to make you rich....south American economic system are Made to make you average...while on the other had Africa economic system is made to make you poor or lower middle class compare to the developed world.....

I include southern American countries cos you have you give them a higher priority to japa than the UK itself.... I've dealt personally with the southern Americans including mexico and I can tell you how poor they are..

And mind you, for those that wish to japa, it's quite easy to migrate to those top world form UK than for any of those southern American countries...
.
For me, when it's time to japa.... Straight to UK first, then over to either Australia, us or Canada..
.
.
To butress my point, majority of Nigerians nurses and doctor find it quite difficult to move to u.s and Australia directly, but the easiest route they take is to move to UK first, practice for some time then move over to their desired destination...
.
So the logic behind all this is that been in UK, you are bond to be quite better financially than other countries of the world, but Canada, us, Australia, and some Europe and Arab countries exclusively

The wages in the uk are fucking depressing. Why don't they reduce the tax rate. It makes no sense paying so much tax on such crappy wages. 18000 pounds annually with 20 percent tax rate. It's fucking bonkers. The USA, Australia and to some extent Canada seems to be the actual green pastures in terms of green pastures.

Like you just detest and troll on UK not minding the fact that it's 10x better than this shithole and it's quite better than those poor and developing southern American countries...

PhenomenalMorgan:
How did you do that

Recovery email was sent to the email I used to open it... I actually forgot nthe email I used.
So, I go on and check the "spam folder" of my emails, then I saw it in one of them

Evolutionlove:
Okay. But currently Edit Profile Isn't working at the moment. Very poor Site.

I also noticed that shit Is still on your Signature. Or you can't see It??

Yes, I saw it... But I couldn't edit it.
The site is achaiac...
A 1990's interface...
.
If not because of the information it has on its database, nairaland should have been out of the game..
.
Forum thrives and survives on existing or stored information... So it'll very difficult for any start up forum to outcompete nairaland in Nigeria... It's just like the Google in Nigeria. Too big to chase out of the market.

Evolutionlove:
Unfortunately you can't edit your profile right now. Anyone can try It. It has been like this since November and the Site owner isn't doing anything about it.

I sense this is a sinister move which was deliberately carried out hmmm.

Meanwhile what is this nonsense on your signature and this monicker in this screenshot below?

Thanks for this...
I just recovered my account.. it's hacked before. That is what those hacker do to any account they hacked.
They will edit the account into that rubbish

superintendents:
is there signature..if u Dont want to see it go to ur profile and remove ur signature too

Oh, thank you very much

Lalasticlacla seun

I recently notices that I do see people's signature beneath their post on this account, but it's not like that on my other account..
.
The feature doesn't make any sense to me. Please is there any way to remove it??

Thanks to you all I've recovered my account

Hello, pls what other western countries apart from UK can I work with school of nursing diploma?

Hello pls, apart from UK, which other western countries accept school of nursing diploma for work?

JimmySwaggart:
Pele shogbo, I understand your pain, the only difference between me and you now is just that me I have a physical business that fetches me cash on the daily, so I don't feel inferior to anybody and can never be intimidated by anyone's success. We all know education is a scam in naija, our government no send us. But in the actual sense, scam or no scam having that certificate handy will do you good. First of all forget about your siblings, don't pressure your self bcuz of them, yes! As a senior bro, you might be worried that by now you should be able to cater for their academic and financial obligations, but no, dat putting your self under unnecessary pressure jare. You only have one life to live, you better live it well, live it to the fullest and be happy. if you miss it you miss it. So Let me tell you, if you are not alive today your immediate siblings would make it if they are destined to make it, the one that will work at mrBigs will find his bearing, the one that will work in a makeup, catering and decorations company will also find her bearing, save up and and establish businesses for them self,the one that will return to school will return, simple!
Even back then when I was in part 2, I knew lots of post graduate students that came in through direct entry into pharmacy, training themselves, and I can tell you they aren't doing bad for themselves academically especially the female folks. Have seen family where it's until the father of the house died before all children in the home woke up to their responsibility and faced realities of life head on, realizing that life isn't a bed of roses, such kids rally round their Mama's business, encourage her, and she's goes ahead to collect loans upon loans to train them through university, and see, na that kind pikin they quick make am pass even without connection, why? such kids with that bachelor's degree in engineering lasan, won't just sit back after graduation, na to they go hustle for construction sites and work locations sure pass, some will also be very fervent and active in church such that pastors, elders, deacons and other dignitaries like architects in the church will be found of them, before you know it, small boy Don begin get recommendation and contracts from professors in church as supervisor for building projects, from there one professor links you to another and so on... And with that the person will have his own engineering firm in no distant time.
As long as you don have any serious relationship you are nurturing with any lady, you have no reason to feel the need to carry any other person's responsibility, or even dress so we'll to impress any body. Just be real to your self(na when money dey person fit dey do fine boy) just focus on yourself first and you alone. Don't put your self under any pressure, take life one step at a time. For now wait for ASSU's resolutions with the FG, if the strike isn't called off. Enter street and hustle to keep your self busy, if it's to look for a cyber cafe, photocopy, printing press bla bla bla... work there and get small pay, with that the depression will decline sharp sharp, since you will be meeting different customers and some people will always put a smile on your face. Once school resumes just stay focused and graduate with your certificate in your hand. Then you can go for HND nursing (that 3years RN is bullshit). With your engineering certificate, you can keep submitting your Resume to different job seeking websites at the same time. See, before your 4years(not 5years) of HND Program(mind you your age would have even passed NYSC age range) is over 3 or 4 companies would have called you for interview, and if you are lucky one of them will surely employ you. With that you don't have to necessary in the hospital again where those bsc nurses will be bossing over you, if it doesn't work that way. At the end of the HND Program, I can assure there is a job waiting for you, as long as your grade isn't bad. Ward plenty for hospitals wey need nurses plenty plenty. Get the job, work smart, form a thick skin against criticism, gossips from female colleges and all forms of distractions, and most importantly don't play with church at all, these days if you Sabi enter does rich people Wella, connections dey churches o. Just that some people are wicked and will not want to help, but it is not all of them sha.
So save up working as a nurse and travel to the UK, and with God on your side you will reach your destination sooner than later.

.
Hmm.....
Thank you for this. This is great sir.
I've read your write up, digest it and have a proper rethink.
.
The thing on ground now is that, going to study that engineering will be a hell for me as I would likely take much responsibility by myself and this will badly affect my grade and there my affect my chance in the labour market.
.
Now my plan now, is to drop out. Go to street, hustle and get much money, applied for next jamb, choose nursing.. but then I would have get much more money to fend myself through.
And focus squarely on finishing the bsc nursing... Not that I don't want to continue with the engineering but I'm considering the obstacle ahead. Even, I might reach some stage that I would be forced to drop out if financial crises arises when studying engineering. So for this reason, I thought it that I should pause for now, gather money, and then re-enroll...
And mind you, I have no academic challenge. I mean I'm brilliant to ace through jamb/p.jamb to get in to nursing.
.
Or whats your own thought on this
Should I strive through it, or I should just step down and go for nursing... And again I'm not choosing any of the course becos of passion but because of future security. So I have equal passion for all the course. I don't prefer anyone than the other. I'm good both at craming and calculation. So, I have no issue with passion at all.

JimmySwaggart:
Direct entry into another university would have saved you but an engineering transcript won't meet the requirements for nursing science in Nigerian universities, since it's not an health related profession. Even 3years Registered nursing program stand a better chance.
I came to realize that no SON will do conversation of their traditional 3 program to 4 years that equals to BNS, it's HND they can offer you at best. With that sef you can still japa, but you don't have to go through Nigeria. Why? Bsc nurses that want to japa sef plenty, so just find any ecowas nation of international reputation, work there for two years, and your japa process will be easier. But with HND in nursing if you stay back to work in our obodo naija teaching hospitals here in naija, they will frustrate you, and this is the date of such person.... ( When Your academic journey has finally come to an end. You’re done with your nursing HND or midwifery or registered nurse. Here is the picture of what is to come. What is next in the labor market or at work?

Experience has shown that graduates of universities are senior officers above those who completed RN only - or together with RM or even does with the newly introduce HND nursing.
This means, if we have a staff with HND or the traditional RN and RM (or together) who had been working for ten years or more, she will eventually be a subordinate or junior colleague to new staff with BSC Nursing. That's the sad reality, as I was informed by a RN staff yesterday. So japa option remains tied on you leaving naija first.
But if you feel it's not worth it you can start hustling even as a student( (1) you can create your website look for what will keep bringing ppl back to your blog and venture into that eg myschool gist.com for example that get Google AdSense and run a monetized website for advertisement also, you can as well run a YouTube channel interacting with your loyal readers from your blog from time to time and make some dollars from that pending on the level of views, like and share up get. in short, if you are not a problem solver don't go into blogging business, we have lots of hopeless bloggers out there. (2) Freelance Writing....If you are good with writing articles or short stories, you should consider sending in applications to write for online blogs or even magazine publications. The beauty of freelance is that you can choose a schedule that is most convenient to you. You can also work for many different corporations at the same time and be paid. This way you are in total control of when to take jobs and when not to, so it does not clash with your school work)
and with it still aim for better cgpa in your chosen engineering field. Then save up/ apply for scholarship to do your master in UK. That will enhance your chance to get a lecturing job(lecturer 1) back home in Nigeria. Bcuz dose white no send our engineering masters degree holders, and won't give them any job, that even if Nigerians will still be giving us study/student visa to come over for post graduate program (fraud has really dent our image on the global scene; I will rather I hold a Zambia passport that a Nigerian passport walai). I hope you pick one or two things from my write-up, in conclusion am only going back to school to pick up the HND degree, leave this country and work in any Federal hospital in Zambia for two years, pick up their nationality/Zambia passport and my US Visa will be issued to me sharp sharp, getting a health job in the almighty US will be much easier, then when I get the job I will enroll for a one year conversation course into bachelor of nursing science(US), so that my degree won't become obsolete in the nearest future, hence avoiding being unnecessary layed off.. Not everyone must marry an old white ancestor all in the name of japa from the shit hole called naija where it's looking like tinubu will rule us for the next 8 year's( I know the old man is sick; hence does pushing him to run want to rule this country by proxy{behind the scene}).

.
Hmmm... Thanks for this sir.
.
At first, engineering is not glamorous has we painted it. The fee to sponsor oneself for msc in western countries is even enough to to establish a big business. Where would one get that money?
And the easiest route one can take is through scholarship, but getting that Is like a camel passing through a needle.
.
Infact to be factual, there is nothing available for engineering student in the labour market, except if that student can be patient to wait for like 5 years searching for job... This sucks me whenever I think about it. I felt depressed and discouraged at it.... I ever regret picking engineering at such a critical moment of life.
.
As for rn nursing, I don't care if my junior of less than 10yrs having bsc is promoted over me. Inasmuch as I am employed and I'm payed I don't care about anybody position. My aim is to get little experience and Japa.
But what scares me about the rn nursing is that are they gainfully employed like the bsc nursing? If yes then I don't care about position. I dont even want to care about what people say again. I see all those saying as deceit and poisons. That was how I was told then that nursing is a no go area that they are slaves to doctors. That no matter the year they spend in the hospital, a junior doctor will be ranked above them... What's my business with that?
This is how they polited my heart and make me loose the opportunity of choosing nursing then.
.
Now am after getting employed and paid well. Am less concern about what superiority has to do. Inasmuch as my aim is to japa. I don't care about superiority.
.
And nursing itself is a skill, you can decide to be independent and set up your own clinic, if you have the capital.
But with a b.eng, na only theory you will be thought, no practical knowledge... Engineering students are fashioned to seek for job but never to be independent. Except those that want to establish outside the scope of engineering.... engineering Is a pure scam.
.
And wait, instead of the years I will go do master, why can't I use it to go for bsc nursing once and for all.
And by the way if I finished the master and come here for msc, the inferiority complex will set in as I will always be a subordinate to PhD holders. Then there will be another quest for schooling again. That is too much for my age.
.
And for learning skill, I've been doing that. But they are easier said than done. Blogging, freelancing, web design or whatever are all saturated too.
.
If rn nursing might not provide me a job. Then I think I would rather go for bsc nursing instead of wasting my time on engineering course that will add no value nor skill on me. Only to be solving complex engineering maths and mechanics that add no value or money to life.
.
I must confessed. The fact is that I'm confused and totally depressed. I hardly sleep these days, I keep thinking and th of way out...
Sometimes i look at my junior junior who learn handwork doing well and making cool cash and here I am that I can't even get myself a decent dress... I cant continue the way. I'm just confused!!!!

JimmySwaggart:
RN and midwifery.
It's National diploma in nursing science.
BNS is under university setting.
It use to be a 3 year course before, but ever since utme became mandatory, it became a four year course, the fourth year will serve as degree awarding program. Hence ND becomes BNS at 400level.

@jimmyswaggart
.
I wouldn't know how this happened, but I think is divine Providence.
Because what you highlight here is the answer to the question bothering me all these while.
.
I have almost 100% similar situation as yours, but the fact is that I'm confused right now.
.
Okay, take a cursory look at my own version.
.
I finished sec school 2015... So I faced alot of challenges with my waec, then finally I overcame it 2018 and I processed mbbs. Had 300 jamb score but couldn't beat the cutoff Mark. Tried again in 2019, had 316 and couldn't get in cos I miss the cutoff by 0.35 mark. All in u.i...
.
I've made mistakes. I've made many bad decisions. I couldn't think like a normal being a day. I keep regretting the past... Had I known, I should have just taken dentistry or better still nursing during these period but pride won't let me... I was so mad with mbbs or nothing.
Now I felt the hurt. I felt the pain as my trajectory is going towards the path I never dreamt of.
.
Ok, 2020 due to my long stay at home, I was influenced by my mum's pastor who happened to be my proprietor at sec school to choose an engineering course. Probably cos am extremely good at maths in sec school and engineering is quite easier to enter... I was given admission, now in 100l...but deep down in me, I know that I've chose the wrong path.
I can't for one day see any future in engineering. All odds are against me. My age is an enemy to employment. There is nothing awaits me after school.
.
And to make it worst, now that I have lost one of my parents. The workload is now too much on me.i will have to cater for myself while at school now. This will really hinder my grade. And affect me in labour market..
I felt sorry for myself. What seems to be a brilliant kid with a bright future then I now seen as object of gigantic failure.
.
What I believe is that engineering is not worth me wasting all this year's. It would have been better I go learn skill that will be profitable to me and make me independent.
The suggestion that came to my mind was that the skill must be learnt in a school setting. And the perfect match for this was school of nursing.
.
Now, I'm planning to quit engineering and go to school of nursing. I should have chosen nursing science at uni, but time is against me.
Now, I will have to sponsor myself...
So, I want to quit this engineering and spend the remaining months and work for money which I will use to sponsor myself through the school of nursing.
.
Yes, my goal of choosing nursing is to actualize my dream of Japa... I just want to leave this corrupt system. I don't intend to study nursing and stay practicing here in Nigeria. Though that is plan B.
.
So my core reason Is to japa. And mind you. I'm okay with UK as far as I can move over. And if can possibly move to any African countries that will pay well. I can also manage that.
.
So my plan is to make it to UK then do conversation program to bscn nursing. Which is one year program unlike here in Nigeria that it is 4 years. I know alot about migrating to UK as Nigeria nurse.cos I duly follow the thread by barbiee on this nairaland and I've also made my own research on it too.
.
I want to go through SON and leave the system on time. But now, after some research that I made on school of nursing, I became discouraged... Now that some schools are transiting from mere RN licensing to HND awarding college, thereby making the process longer. For e.g obth college of nursing is now HND four years course plus one year of internship + one year of nysc. Omo, it's too long for my eyes oo. That is almost tantamount to the nursing science with only one year difference.
So I decided to just stick to school that still offer the normal SON 3yrs.
.
But now am scared if it will not be obsolete by the time I finished the study... Im scared if I may not be allowed to practice if I go through it. And I'm scared if UK decided to change their mind and make bsc nursing the Mimimum requirements to work in their country just like the us,Canada and Russia are doing...
Im scared so that I won't just goand waist that 3 years. I'm almost 25 this year.
.
I only just want to choose son cos it guarantee me flying out... But I'm always scared if the system might change.
.
.
If am to go to nursing direct. Mhen nah to go become old man be that. Coupled with brother ASUU action.
And now being the first born I have to take care of my younger ones and my aged parent. So i am not for myself. I need to do things fast to help this people. If am slack, I'm scared things might go out of hand for them.
.
.
I know that some of my assumptions might be wrong, that is why I came to you. How I got to met you is only a miracle.
Pls can you advice or enlighten me more.
.
.
And again pls what's the jobs prospect of rn nursing in government hospitals. Do they stand any chance of being employed at all?
And is their pay not far less below their contemporary bsc holders?
.
I'm open to your idea. And I wouldnt mind if we can meet over social media.
.
Thanks in anticipation for your reply

,that is a big question,but for my own i will to take Tecno d1.

I've observed this more than 20 times from this year's beginning.
Anytime I turn up to look at the time, I always see something like "11111", either "11:11" or "01:11" or anything like that.
.
Pls is this just a mere coincidence or spiritual "signals".
.
I first thought it was a joke until it is consistent.
.
Sometimes, I just pick up the watch unconsciously, without the intention of checking the time, and I will just see this strange numbers.
.
Here is the one I saw today. Immediately I stopped operating my phone, I just wanted to drop it and I noticed the time again.
.
Is this a spiritual or medical condition??
