Darklantern: It's the case of getting flagship features in a budget Onome, rather than spending so much outrightly in flagship devices
What kind of flagship feature is better than having a device with Flagship SOC? You're telling people to go for Realme C75 which is a low budget device even when the person has the funds to get a Samsung Galaxy S24. That offers way more. S24 might not have that armor protection but in every other aspect, it is miles above C75. It's like comparing a Ferrari to a tricycle simply because the tricycle has some sort of armor on it. Realme C75 is for people on a low budget and don't mind low performance. The phone is made for people who are usually careless and have butter fingers. Even tecno Camon 18 premier of 2021 still has a way better camera than the C75 I tested last week. Realme C75 is a good phone no doubt but don't deceive people to get it over midrange and flagship devices.
Very foolish people making foolish decisions. You had 45M and couldn't use it to change your life in Nigeria. There are several businesses he could have done with way less than 45m that would yield him returns within a short period.
Be like naira Marley don dey eye this woman. Anyways, I'm glad the world has seen the truth now. If it was the other way around, she'd have finished him with lawsuits
Onlinegist: TO KILL A MONKEY: Great Film, But I Have Reservations. After all the hype and well deserved applause for "To Kill a Monkey", I still have some reservations. Yes, the movie was great, from the acting to the cinematography, but certain aspects of the storyline lost touch with reality.
First off, the character "Teacher" was unnecessary. He contributed nothing meaningful to the plot. The whole fight between Teacher and Oboz felt forced, especially Efe’s involvement. Efe had no connection to Teacher, yet the script tried to insert him into a conflict that wasn’t his. That angle was weak.
Secondly, Efe was portrayed as a tech expert and developer, yet he came off as dull. How can someone with the skills to build such a powerful app be that broke and clueless? No real life developer with that level of innovation would still be that hungry and wrecked.
Thirdly, Oboz didn’t embody the traits of a real mafia boss. He bragged too much, talked loosely, and chased women without class. True underworld leaders move in silence, protect their presence, and don’t get disrespected by women like Amanda in front of their boys.
Letting Efe into the inner circle without proper initiation (vetting) only confirmed how unserious Oboz was. Efe asking Oboz, who owned the structure, for 50% just so he could sit back and collect money was peak greed and entitlement. That was an obvious red flag that Oboz was too blind to see, simply because he himself is an idiot.
Efe’s wife, Nosa, in my opinion, did nothing wrong. Yes, she messed up and lost herself when the illegal money finally came, but she wasn’t the problem, Efe was. He lacked principles and backbone. A woman cannot push a man of integrity into crime. And let’s be honest, 90% of women would do exactly what Nosa did if they saw that opportunity. Her reaction was predictable; Efe’s weakness was the real problem.
Lest I forget, they didn’t condemn the crime in the movie, they ended it like it was just another way to make it. That kind of ending sends a subtle message that crime is a normal or valid route to wealth. And honestly, as much as that’s a flawed message, it also reflects reality. Many of the richest people in the world today didn't exactly take the clean path to success. Still, a film with this kind of reach should’ve done more to spark reflection, not validation.
So while To Kill a Monkey was a great production, the character arcs and certain plot decisions needed more realism and depth. These small flaws kept it from being a truly unforgettable masterpiece.
If I should rate the movie, I would say 7/10, not because it wasn't entertaining, but because certain parts lacked depth, realism, and proper character development.
nedekid: And what is wrong with Opay or palm pay? If Opay (which I use) had not come on board do you know how stuck we would have been with the incompetence of regular naija banks? Do you know the improvements naija banks have had to make to avoid them loosing their business to the opay and palm pay? How many naija banks will you use their apps to make transfer that you are guaranteed the money will get there or return immediately if there is failed transaction. Or will warn you and give you probability report on downtime of another bank? Opay that you can through the app do so many things eg take a loan, invest in FD, pay your bills, make online purchases, pay for goods in China etc. Abeg Opay is the new ice cream, the birthday cake, the new wife yellow with big headlights and bakassi.
Don't mind that person jare. Some people don't like progress at all. They don't even know the meaning of a fintech company. Opay and palmpay have saved many Nigerians. I see some people badmouthing Opay and Palmpay then I'll ask them "what do you people really want". Someone creates solution to issues within the banking industry just to make your lives easier and then you try to demarket them because they are Chinese. Why?
What the heck am I reading? Which kind standup comedy be this one? You chose low budget device instead of flagship. I pity whoever takes this your advice seriously
Adanambra1: I never had swollen feet except once. I drank kunu.
Check your sodium level. It's shouldn't be low
It's some how normal in naija for pregnant women to have swollen feet But the truth, is it signals a low in a particular micro nutrients. Doctors over to you
It's common and normal for pregnant women to experience swollen feet or swelling in the face due to fluid retention. Edema in pregnancy usually happens when the foetus puts pressure on blood vessels and organs. Sodium intake should be reduced while potassium should be encouraged. When the sodium increases, hypertension is close by. Then miscarriage could follow if the hypertension is not managed properly. The major cause of edema in feet of people who aren't pregnant is heart disease. Anything that affects the heart would disturb the kidneys cos both of them are connected. So keep your heart healthy and your kidneys would be forever grateful.
franchasng: I am a supporter of truth any time, any day, I don't care who gets irked by the truth.
If you say the truth, I will stand by you even if it doesn't align with my people, and if you say what's not truth, I will also tell you without minding if you like it or not.
The truth is, without White South Africans who mostly came from Europe (Netherlands), South Africa would have been a disorganized country just like Nigeria or even worse than Nigeria. You can argue this forever as you like, but the whole world including you Black South Africans know the truth and I also know that you black South Africans appreciate what the White South Africans did for you but ego and pride won't let you guys admit the sad truth that White South Africans made South Africa a great country it is today and if not for them, your xenophobic black South African brothers would have ruined South Africa like most other black African countries.
Of the truth, I do wish Nigeria had at least a million indigenous white population, I am sure they wouldn't have allowed Nigeria to get so destroyed the way it has been destroyed today by Tinubu/APC and some past Nigerian leaders.
If we had indigenous white people in Nigeria, insecurity wouldn't be this bad today. Government and leadership corruption that made Nigeria the joke it is today wouldn't have been this bad. Our judiciary wouldn't have become the joke it is today, neither will our Police, Army and electoral system be as shameful as they are today. White people from other continents would have helped Nigeria have some stability for the sake of their fellow whites in Nigeria, that's what most of you young, naive black South Africans don't know and refused to appreciate.
What ingenuity or talent do you guys have to develop South Africa the way it is today? NONE!
When it comes to talent and ingenuity, the average Nigerian is more gifted than an average South African but because Nigeria lack good leadership and government, our potentials are not harnessed in Nigeria instead it is turned to crime at its finest form, but when Nigerians migrate to Europe, America, UK, Australia, Canada, Asia, Russia, they do exploits in all fields of life just because the governments there are good and not bias but give equal opportunity to all humans ready to erk a living for themselves.
The truth remains the truth, always stand for the truth and I will definitely agree with you
Don't answer that Southy lady again. She just hates Nigerians and I don't know what she is even doing on this forum. Nigerians need to try and move their businesses out of SA. That place is not safe for industrious migrants. The average black man in the SA is lazy and always jealous of foreigners who are doing well.
Lionessza6: You were better back then when you could beat us 3-0...but you can't do that now because SA football has improved and keeps on improving ....and yes you are slightly better because it's either we draw and go to penalties or you win 2-1 or vice versa.
And congratulations on your win ,your Falcons team definitely deserved it ...they showed up on this tournament...and we didn't do a convincing job defending the trophy.
And yes ,I love this forum ,why do you think am a member ? ......but don't mistake that for me loving Nigerians or Nigeria...but I certainly don't hate Nigeria though. But nothing brings me joy than shutting up those loud mouths of yours against us and other African nations whom you like to demean . . Not even Dangote money could give me such joy
You're deceiving yourself. You love Nigeria in secret
Lionessza6: Leaders are a reflection of their society and the leaders are selected and elected among the populace, so I don't get why you guys pretend like they are some alien species among you
South African leaders are us and we are them ; both bad and good ...we can't point fingers at them without implicating ourselves. You're weird folks
Majority of Nigerians in South Africa are illegals which is a crime on it's own . Yes , there are a minority good ones ,unfortunately they never speak out about the shenanigans of their brothers ,so they are all the same
Here we go with the delusions ......we are definitely scared of people who are willing to sell other humans to "survive" ,we have no such culture here and we dont want such "humans " around us .
You mean the black men who have the highest number of dollar millionaires in Africa? . The same men who have built world class infrastructure even in their villages ?those men ? Show me anything in Nigeria that can ever be ranked above that of South Africa ...apart from soccer ( of which you are slightly better) .
Nigerian men are the poorest men in Africa. Nigeria is thee most unproductive country among the big economies in Africa. So how come you hardworkers are always at the bottom and our lazy arses dominate every positive indice in Africa? Minority whites ?
Getting all catty over a forum that can't stop discussing us ?
We're not slightly above you in soccer. We're way above you. Checkout what our super falcons have just done. Can your girls ever? 10 trophies. You registered on nairaland which means you love Nigeria in secret. Nairaland didn't beg for your registration. If you truly feel you're bigger than it, leave the forum. If not, then the joke is on you.
1. Lucky Dube was killed by your fellow migrants who were hunting down a Nigerian criminal
2. The whole world supported SA just like in the case of Palestine . And there are only a handful of African nations who got their hands dirty with our apartheid situation and the most notable are Tanzania ,Zambia, &Angola . And the funny part is that you'll hardly meet these Africans in South Africa or catch them causing harm to our society . But the ones who played very little role are here acting like we owe them our houses
3. People migrate and it's like that since the beginning of time ,but what we are seeing among your breathen is pure desperation. You see no future in your own countries and are not willing to get your hands dirty to change that but you continue running around looking for sympathy and asylum whilst your homelands burn to the grounds . Cowardice !!!
And yes ,we do have SA in other countries and they are ther legally and are not a societal nuisance in every country they go to like you people. And for your information; there's even more British people in South Africa than South Africans in Britain .....healthy exchange I'd say not a one way affair like your case .
4. 200 lives were lost in one night in Nigeria and nothing was done ,not even one arrest ....where in South Africa has that ever happened? You sem more concerned about Africans elsewhere but in your own backyard you could careless about them...like I said in another thread ...charity begins away from home with you people.
And lastly, there are more South Africans who have been killed ,raped and robbed by African migrants than the other way round .
5. There were more Pakistani shops looted than any other group, so I'm wondering if they have suddenly become Africans now to suit the narrative ?
And looting is hooliganism and it will always be there in South Africa and in your backyard as well. Make sure you open your business in a safe neighborhood...and that's your responsibility as a business man.
6. And lastly stop burning Nigerians alive in the name of jungle justice, religious and tribal sentiments because they're black . I've never seen you burning the Indians enslaving you in those factories or the Chinese thieves in your mines or those Asian scammers over there . Stop the brutality against blacks. The police are there for something, no?
And ,lastly a man whose home is a mess can never be treated the same way as a man whose house is in order . It will never happen . That's why if you check the world passport rankings you'll see countries that are a hot mess are at the very bottom and societies where men believe in looking inwards are at the very top . Your passport is a reflection of how the world views and will welcome you in their homes.
Like I said, bad leadership has killed several African countries and unfortunately Nigeria doesn't have good leadership as well so I won't drag that fact with you. If Nigeria was a better place, you won't be able to say things like these. There are several Nigerians who are working and residing legally in SA and there are some who go there to practice illegal stuff. In every society we always have them which is normal. Then why not arrest them and take them through legal proceedings? Why turn it into a rivalry or war? All I see here is bad blood. You guys are intimidated by Nigerians especially many of your men who hardly wanna work. I believe you are really enjoying this naija forum very much. Is there a better forum in SA or are you guys waiting for the whites to create one
Lioness5280: LMAO. In the next two decades you'll still be singing the same song and SA would have smart cities in all Provinces by then and you'll still be hooting at cows to get out of your major city roads .
And why are the other Africans running away from their own homes ?
Running away? Africans are everywhere around the world trying to make a living and also contribute positively to respective communities. History of bad leadership created that kind of migration so I won't blame you for mocking other black people who stood up for you when botha was giving you people sleepless nights. There are many South Africans working in other countries. Would you say they ran away too? There are Asians working in SA doing illegal stuff but no you guys would choose to attack other Africans and blame them for everything. I'm not saying you should condone illegal acts from other Africans but do things maturely and not by looting shops, burning properties and killing people. Lucky dube was even killed by people who said they thought he was Nigerian. Imagine! Ending the life of the innocent man cos of hatred for Nigerians. Very sad indeed. Even Europeans and Americans would never chase you and burn your property cos you're black. Stop doing what the KKK was doing to black Americans many years back cos If not, then you ain't different from botha and his people.
I believe Palestine would later have to be recognized as a country alongside Israel. Hamas should just stop the shenanigans and let the people in Gaza have a legitimate government. Hamas is just a militant group and not a legit government. They need to stop doing Iran's bidding if they really want peace.
