People People People why are you hating on Nokia
First some argue that Nokia is too reliant on Symbian but remember if i am not mistaken the Symbian brought multi-tasking to us  as we know it today and besides not only Nokia uses Symbian (it is only that they made it popular) Sony Ericsson also make use of the Symbian platform. Besides Apple is developing on their i phone OS, Google on Andriod for HTC,Samsung; as also Nokia is developing on Symbian hence the emergence of Symbian ^3
Secondly, software and third party application development is better and easier to create on the symbian platfotm.There are an array of apps on the symbian platform. In other words it allows for easy software development.
Thirdly, most of the advocates of I phone, Apple as we all know is very stingy. It didn't allow Adobe to create a platform for flash content on its i phone, you can't send files through bluetooth, you have to buy almost all apps, can't use your I phone to sync without i tunes. Although it still has it perks like the retina display and the display, music player etc.
Besides the phone makers you are saying are better than Nokia pretty much make phones for high end users.
In conclusion what am saying is that other phone makers are superb are good in their own respect (i even love the I phone) but we should not be too quick to dismiss Nokia or symbian as failed.Besides Nokia is still the largest phone maker by market share.

You must still be living in 2006.
For software and apps, iOS and Android absolutely kill Symbian these days. We're talking about modern apps, not those old .sis files you Nokia people cling to.
Also, there are a large number of free apps on the Apple AppStore, many of them really good. So you aren't forced to buy all your apps. Most downloads from the AppStore are for free apps.

I beg to differ. The N8 and E7 are top tier Nokia handsets. MeeGo will be the promised land some day, but for now those phones will be the flagship consumer and business phones for Nokia.

TP already said what I wanted to say.

Nokia needs to do some serious work on that Symbian OS if they want to catch up with the competition.

Just as I suspected Sony's latest firmware update(3.42) says it fixes the patch exploited by the jailbreak.

Where do you stay?

Wish you had installed the hack.
While this hack does appear enticing I'm concerned about Sony's reaction in future firmware updates. I mean I don't want my console locked or anything like that. I'll be watching this to see how this plays out.

@TP
Just wanted to find out; have you successfully installed the hack yourself?

I can't believe this is happening!

Answer
Should the man risk his mothers death, because a senseless woman is ready to pack out with the children.
Did the Shepard not leave 99 in search of one.
A woman like that is she a role model for the kids.
If you can answer these questions you have the answer to your question.

The analogy of the Shepard should not be misunderstood. It is not like the Shepard left the 99 sheep in a place of danger or where they could be harmed when he went looking for the missing one. . .
Besides applying it in this context is a complete fail. No right thinking person will endorse the line that Mutter is towing here.

I know this appears trollish but what is with Becomerich and those maps


Anyways no one should condemn Dokpesi, he is free to choice whatever political party or candidate he wants to support.

We haven't seen the last of this yet.

This smacks of fantasy.

Many graduates today in Nigeria are pampered by their parents. Most of them are not told the realities of life. In Nigeria, it is a norm that after school, a job is waiting for you somewhere. You expect your parent, aunt, uncle or someone you know to fix you up one way or another.

What are you talking about sir? If what you say is true then how can you explain the thousands young people who are unemployed in this country?

You may check sites like www.replaynaija.com and game network Nigeria. They sell new and used games they also can have it delivered by courier you.

ritchboy:
Is Mobinga Kosovo in disguise?

Maybe this fanboy thing is infectious, maybe Moninga has been infected by Kosovo.

Where is Kosovo anyways? Hasn't Sony done something we all need to know of?

Maybe it was the way the statement came out of nowhere but I could't stop laughing after I saw the following words;

WHO THE HELL IS JARUS

Ahh for once an intellectual debate on NL. I must commend all the participants here for avoiding the popular evil of running threads aground with pointless insults (even though some insults surfaced). Keep up the good work folks

jennykadry:

This thread is now being spammed.

Very possible

Fashola should reduce the cars, they are too many on the road, [b]all these bankers each all have cars even when they don't need i[/b]t.

Really?

ThiefOfHearts:
Look for one headed by a non-Nigerian

Thanks for the tip

Now all I need to know are competent hospitals where this can be done in Nigeria.

Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Not a real church though

And somehow its now on the front page!

kadman:
THIS ARTICLE SHOULD MAKE FRONT PAGE !!!
Moderators won't do their work properly, if it's what Omotola wore to last night awards, then you'd see them in overdrive,  hiss.

Of what use is this to Nigerians, why should this make the front page?

Similar thing happen to me last October near the Computer Village in Ikeja. I think the Police is just clueless!

A new height of foolishness. Why didn't they just pay for a fake certificate at once.

valacious:
Starcomms is doing this thing, and they arent making much noise about it, mtn is making so much money from naija, i repeat so much money, they arent even listed on our stock exchange, that shows that they are financially independent, [b]it doesnt cost Mtn a dime to throw open their lines on a weekend at a simple cost of N100 to d caller, and to all lines, not just to one best friend, when u now wish to several friends then u start paying N100 bucks to several ppl and the [/b]other friends too pay, haba that isnt fair, emptyN.

Do you say this because you own and run a GSM company? Its very easy to be an arm chair CEO.

Why does this post appear as "Lagerback turns his back to Nigeria" on the homepage.

It would be nice if the threads that appear on the homepage are at least grammatically correct. This is just an observation, not a call for insults.

@adec
I am a 30 year old Nigerian who has been residing in South Africa for a couple of years now. I currently own and run a Video Games Store in the CBD of Johannesburg. My store consist of a Video Game's arcade section, A video game repair section and a sales section. I am a self trained Playstation3, Xbox 360 and Wii technician.

In the video Game's arcade section, customers can come and play their favourite game titles on any of my 10 consoles connected to full 10 HDTVs. We charge them per hour for each game they choose to play. I currently have 5 pS3s and 5 Xbox 360 consoles in the arcade section.


In the Repair section i do the following:

Repair 3 Red light Xbox 360s(RROD)
Repair Xbox 360 E70 errors
Repair Xbox360 blank picture errors
Replace Ps3s faulty lens
Chip / Flash Xbox 360s consoles to play copied games
Chip Nintendo wii to play copied games

In the sales section ,i sell copied Xbox 360 games and copied Wii games.
I also sell video games accessories in this section like battery packs, power adaptors, av cables e.t.c
____________________________________________________________ ___________________

The reason i have created this topic is because i will like to relocate back to Nigeria, I have here in SA for a while and i really miss home. I want to come back home to settle down with my family and establish my business in Lagos. I know how people love video games in Nigeria and i also know how expensive these video games have become.

I feel that i may be able to contribute something positive to the country and the youths if i establish my business there. From what i have gathered so far ,there is no one in Lagos who repairs Xbox 360s ( i may be mistaken but that is what i have heard from my relatives).My business can benefit video game loving Nigerians because here in South Africa i am able to source second hand video game consoles which are in good condition and resell them in Nigeria at reasonable prices. Another plus is my ability to make copied games. The cost of an original Xbox game range from $60 to $100 but i can make a copy of those games for a mere $5 or less.This will really benefit Nigerians who are struggling to buy one single game.

Like i mentioned above i have been out of the country for a while and i need the professional input of people on the ground in Nigeria. Please advice and tell me if it wise for me to establish this type of business in Lagos or if i should remain in SA.I have attached a picture to give you an idea of what my business is like. I will also like the good people of Nairaland to suggest to me which areas of Lagos my business will thrive in.
