Redmi Note 5? Looks like a Plus tho

Protein0:
guess

Very well said! We shouldn't allow small issues like this derail this thread. When I talk earlier say the name 'tout' nor good (borrowing from its use in the Nigeria context) dem say I nor sabi the correct meaning. If anyone comes to this thread and see all the tirades being fired left and right, they wee just conclude 'Touts on Nairaland' are fighting and we all know how touts fighting is always an issue at Obalende or Lagos Island .....abeg o! Na joke are de oooo! Peace to all.

fibonacci2526:
This is my summation:

Macbeyland don't want you to think Protein0 has a perceived bitterness towards you, not at all. Why should he?As it is you don't have an idea of what he has done on your behalf as am privy to that information with proof. Never ever assume he has something against you as this is not TRUE.

Protein0, forget all the accusations and counter accusations and be the bigger person here. It's enough!

And to all those who are good at stoking the fire(they know themselves), una go dey alright last last.

Like I said these jabs/subs are bothering on childishness, y'all are adults and should behave like one.

Which is this?

So this wan too nor serve?

Hahaha ...you're daaah best buoda tout

Protein0:
Nigerians' meanings of words can't change their real meanings ma
I've answered to tout and will still answer it over n over if you address me as such. Egbon tout becomes a phrase with "egbon" having various meanings in the Yoruba language. I'm an L1 user of the kaarooojiire language and I can tell you the various contextual meanings of egbon.
Tout is the word on discus, not egbon tout ma, if you must make it a phrase "aburo tout, omo tout, ogbeni tout, arakunrin tout" are all OK for me. If the egbon was Intended to portray elder respect, then "buoda tout, baba tout, Alaafin tout, alayelua tout" are all fine too.
8 options you have there ma, in place of egbon tout

Ambode should be happy sef ....let him face the people to judge whether he's fit doe a second term of not ...if they say no ....good. If they say yes ...even better, when Tinubu comes for the usual share of the state wealth, tell hi to also go and meet the people and let them decide if he's entitled to a share

CilicMarin:
I don't understand this issue of everybody begging Tinubu to back Ambode..is Tinubu God? As a sitting governor, I don't expect Ambode to be begging for support, but rather have his own support group who should be able to deliver him in the forthcoming primaries.

We cannot be accusing Tinubu of imposition and at the same time asking him to impose Ambode on others. Moreover the former governor has only 1 Vote.

We are too religious thats why we are scammed. The lady felt bad because she thought of what the bible said with respect to giving and be blessed ...unfortunately her faith failed her cause in her heart she became bitter immediately she saw what the money was being put to use. Same way our pastors collect our tithes and used them to flex to our bitterness

A Nigerian journalist, Ayomide Owonibi Odekanyin, who was scammed by a fake disabled man in Lagos took to Facebook to recount what happened.

Ashok! You mean hardworking people should be helping others who are lazy to work?

Kira290:
if he had money
He won't be on the streets trying to play a smart one on you..

I personally help some of these people so don't see anything wrong in it

At least them no carry gun

Hahaha ...I understand but just felt using it here on Nairaland knowing how fully bastardized the word is used in Nigeria, might make visitors to this thread feel scared but if its deem ok, permit me to be calling you egbon tout

Protein0:
You mean tout isn't dignifying?
Check it again ma.
Apart from having no demeaning meaning, it has become a parlance with its unambiguous meaning here.

Ofcourse I do dear ....maybe I should have based my argument in the context of Nairaland which more less represents Nigeria. We all know that the word 'tout' in Nigeria has been bastardized, any visitor to Nairaland seeing that widely used to mean someone selling goods or services, is bound to be scared of furthering that pursuit

acekid109:
i don't think you actually understand what the word means touting has to do with advertisements n convincing pple to buy the advertised products

scotweezy:
The meaning of the word "tout" is actually not as wayward as normally implied by our local definition.

Yes but any app that requires you to flash on, is bound to cause you stress.

Sunkyphil:
I tire for dem i just checked d cam it looks decent

I think the best option would be for each of them to maintain their own pages on NL and post a link to their signature. That way potential buyers can be redirected to those pages when the vendors (or touts as they call themselves) comment on a post. Its almost confusing seeing the adverts and in some cases they are not even up to date with their inventories.

fibonacci2526:
Re this ad issue, I personally feel the best way to go about it is that sellers post ads just TWICE daily(no 2 ads per page still stands here) . The issue of "the first to post" on a page is unfair as some other sellers might not be chanced to come online always which will inevitably lead to a seller posting more than 4/5 ads daily. TWICE per day is the way to go.

SMH ....see how you guys are glorifyingly calling yourself touts Haba! Why don't you use dignifying name ...vendors or resellers? Must it be touts? Toh!

macbeyland:
Hehehehe. You know say we dey all do like that.


I actually posted first in prep for my ad.


Normally, before I post ad, I check whether any other tout has posted a comment on the page, even an emoji. Once I see any comment from any tout, I will not bother to post my ad.

Toh!

Sunkyphil:
Which one be gcam again

Whats all these hype with GCam? There's more to the phone's other features than just the camera

busuyi44:
Congrats. Are u going to install Gcam?

Good thing I would say, it would distract the other members under-going orientation. They need it more than Davido

tammygomo:
It is no longer news that Davido isn’t in NYSC camp. What is surprising is how he brags about it and the NYSC management seem to be undisturbed.

Earlier today, Nigerian football analyst, Oma Akatugba accused Davido of posing for photos in NYSC uniform without going to school.

His tweet reads, “so Davido that never went to school and also is currently observing his Youth service in America grilling with Mr patrick is a more valid university graduate than Kemi Adeosun because he posed for a photograph in that uniform?”.

Davido simply replied, ‘yea tweeting this all the way from Deutschland?’.

Didn't you read that the new DG was recommended by the current acting DG who is from South South? How is this a Buhari's problem?

micolaj:
Hmm
Buhari an ethnic bigot?

This is simply unacceptable, barbaric, and presumptuous.

What concerns us with the COMPETENCE of the so- called Northerner? What is our business with his APOLITICAL STATUS?

All we want is BUHARI being sensitive to the principle of FEDERAL CHARACTER.The new HEAD of DSS MUST be a Southern. Simple.

Moreover, the fact that the head of DSS relates MORE with other citizens than MR PRESIDENT even makes our demand reasonable.


Who is now a tribalist?
BUHARI or...(hmm)

Sounding interesting

Exactly. After the first few days the camera craze is weaned

lilclin:

2kurupt:

I feel irritated when these people say 'Buhari plotted coup in 1983' ......NO he did not! The coup was plotted by the likes of Babangida and co. Buhari was only nominated to head the government out of respect for him

IllegalMoney:

“Buhari who staged a coup in 1983, removed the political class and clamped them into prisons is the same Buhari doing the same thing, today, dehumanizing humanity

“Today, we are more divided as a people. There is more poverty in the country than it was in the past; more pains and agonies. APC has no history like the PDP. It is a mere political contraption.

“For us to have a country which belongs to all Nigerians in a federation, we must have equal rights and opportunity. Every Nigerian has the right to access power whether from the North or South.

“Buhari and the APC have no vision, no human compassion and all they like doing is to inflict pains on Nigerians. They want to destroy people’s living standard to a level that they will all become perpetually poor.



A presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dr Sule Lamido has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of dehumanizing Nigerians like he did in 1983.

Lamido speaking in Benin City, Edo State on Thursday while addressing delegates ahead of the October National Convention of the party, insisted that Buhari who staged a coup in 1983, removed the political class and clamped them into prisons, “is the same Buhari doing the same thing today, dehumanizing humanity.”

He urged Nigerians to join hands with his party to rescue the country from the clutches of President Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The former Jigawa State governor said “For us to have a country which belongs to all Nigerians in a federation, we must have equal rights and opportunity. Every Nigerian has the right to access power whether from the North or South.

“PDP made some mistakes. Some of its members were reckless but they are humans. Time will cure us because they are humans. Some us are calling Buhari’s name because we don’t have institutions. The economy is very weak, no security, no bureaucracy, and no standing institutions to protect all of us in terms of justice and fairness. One single human being is appropriating Nigeria as if it is his own.

“Today, this party of saints called the APC is a party of pains, hunger, anger and evil and where are we today? It is a party which has no historical foundation, no philosophy, ideology.

“Buhari who staged a coup in 1983, removed the political class and clamped them into prisons is the same Buhari doing the same thing, today, dehumanizing humanity

“Today, we are more divided as a people. There is more poverty in the country than it was in the past; more pains and agonies. APC has no history like the PDP. It is a mere political contraption.

“Buhari and the APC have no vision, no human compassion and all they like doing is to inflict pains on Nigerians. They want to destroy people’s living standard to a level that they will all become perpetually poor.

“Leadership is geared towards raising people, motivate and give hope and confidence. All those that makes APC government thick are former PDP members.

“They are former governors, senators, ministers, ambassadors among others. The PDP you maligned is now the prominent members of the party and if you says we are thieves, then the government in Abuja is of evil people.

“The former PDP members are the ones that produce the APC government in Abuja. Then how do we build a nation by maligning each other’s where there is no love, respect. Leadership is about that human feeling in you, the feeling of care and compassion. When you see poverty, you feel it.

“Nigeria is for us and not for APC, Lamido or for PDP, as such nobody can come and destroy the country. Be on the watch out. My aspiration is not a desperation. But you and I have been in PDP. We have been demoralized, gone through hell, coerce but yet we never left the party.”

Toh! Seems many people are buying this phones just to 'root' and 'mod' even when they don't really need to .....buh wha do we know

muyibabs:
It seems brickland is on the increase again. My advice to newbies is that you can enjoy your device without rooting or modding. And if you must, take time to read, read and read all the necessary info and learn from others who have done the same before you start.

Sending by DHL na hin sure pass say you go pay Custom Duty ...you can't escape that. By Ali Express, you can be sure 50/50 to escape customer duty at NIPOST but not with DHL

whithawk:
Please people, I have a question about a mobile phone i ordered from aliexpress. The product was shipped via dhl and i was charged $25 shipping fee.

Would i still need to pay tax or custom duty to collect the product when it arrives here in Nigeria?

Don't mind them. Next they will add the SD Card ....that's if they've not done so back-end I don't trust their 512GB version

macbeyland:
I see iPhone as simply trying to stylishly enter a trend which they had once stood against. Now, they find themselves alone having been abandoned by the other big players in the phone industry.

Abdulsalami is the real don! He makes things happen and he will surely do it again

RIP Africa's greatest diplomat. Can also sight the white bearded guy, serious politicking sure to happen this night in Accra, with a common goal of sending the dullard home in 2019.
