Who wan die?
Now if only Fashola declared that in Lagos...

Meant how good are BB playbooks vs other 7 inch tablets. User experience and all..

Are these tablets any good? ...reserved a brand new 64GB for bout 40K but not too sure.

ACM10: The onus is on you guys to name those companies that are located in other regions of Nigeria. You made the assertion, not me.

I wouldn't know cos I wasn't born. I expect you to uphold your integrity and be able to back up your claims rather than beat around the bush.

ACM10: Thanks for your civility. Can u point out those bias? Can you name some of those nationalized companies located in the other regions? I hope that Onlytruth will come around to respond to the accusation of bias.

Hmmn... Onlytruth is not exactly known for neutrality. Unless if[b] each and every single company was located in the western region[/b], I'll like to know what happened to companies in other regions. Sadly I can't mention any though.

Mayorwer: @Blackvaron.My move2sd is not moving any app.my ram is full.i cant download again.tell me what to do.my phone is rooted.i have rooted my phone still i cant use d app.

What's the size of your sd card memory?

It's impossible when rootedyou can't move any app from phone to sd or vice versa unless you have insufficient memory space on your sd card.

bush4ker: pls do u guys know weda sony erricson xperia live with walkman is available in nigeria.if yes what abt the price?

Don't know bro, should be affordable though I reckon and got quite decent specs too.

I must say the OP is VERY biased. Whilst in every right, the 20£ saga in my books was on a grand scale of wickedness and opportunistic theft.

The indigenisation attempt still remains a major policy error that culminated in the loss of substantial foreign capital and technical know how that still reverberates today.

However, blaming the yorubas in this case just doesn't hold. Besides, did the yorubas manage to 'corner' every single nationalised company or what really?
How about the companies in other regions-who took over them ?

Now Gone.

aryzgreat: imagine losing a note of N5000? no be mad person go mad? u enter bus and give conductor N5000 note for a N100 t fair, no be fyt u invite? mallam Sanusi ur time is up!

That conductor would simply say no change. Eventually praying fervently you forget your change.

ACN, CPC AND PDP.
What's the difference please...

Is there an allowance for independent candidates in the Nigerian setting? Enough of leaders tied to the apron strings of cliques of cabals, oil thieves and whatnot.

I heard one of his achievement was...'he brought Facebook to Nigeria'

houstonia: @blackbaron, you are definitely a blackmoron to me, @stagger, obviously you are a quarter to death, thus u are desperate. @goshen360, I'm still in search of someone more stupid than you are. I know what I'm currently studying in school, you don't expect me after all my candles, and midnight vigillance, to wake up one morning and pick up outta all kinda jobs , a "driving job" in which obviously I'm expected to risk my life by trvelling long distances that involves intra and interstate ventures. Omo I think three of you have to be blocked from nairaland entirely. Abi would he advise his own sisters son to even take up this kinda job. Dangote must be a fool. I no sabi the money wey him get seff. Common Mark Zuk don beat am without political attachment or govt interferance.

Hehehe...I'm just seeing this. The pride in Nigerian youths is just mind numbing.
Besides according to the company's requirement, I am 'underaged'

tkjoke: Well, unless we speak to a proffesional truck-driver we would never know for certain would we? But the amount does seem reasonable to me considering how long the person would be gone plus the attendant risks. And 100k per month I think is not enough compensation for graduates for such a risky and herculean task unless there are other incentives.

#30k for a single trip is ludicrous for a driver, how much would an average joe owner receive then after costs and all. Say 10 trips a month and that translates to #300k a month. That's more than an entry level bank worker's 200k/m isn't it? Now bout the 100k/m per graduate, how is that too little for an unemployed person? I only sense pride there. Besides I know graduates on 50k/m salary with nowt to show for it at the end of the month.

AjanleKoko: That amount is not what drivers are paid, but what the truck owner is paid.
If I had stuff in Lagos, I needed to move to Kano, I might pay something between 50k and 100k a trip, depending on what I'm carrying.

Depending on the kind of deal you do with the driver, they can get up to 60% of that amount. Some people purchase trucks and hand over to drivers, who will fuel and maintain the vehicle, and bring returns at the end of the month, to the owner. Those kind of arrangements can yield good money for the driver.
The more likely return to the driver is 20-30% of the trip value. So, out of a 50k trip, maybe driver gets 15k. At the end of the month, if you make maybe 10 trips, that's 150k.

I say again, this kind of Dangote opportunity is only good for someone who's genuinely interested in truck driving. It's no easy job, so I would advise anyone trying to get in out of desperation, to bust the idea sharp. Same advice I would give any graduate trying to be a roughneck on an oil platform just for the money. You fit lose your life oh! Berra know what you're getting into

Though, I don't see it as desperation but nonetheless any experience garnered from this job would certainly be useful for one using this as a stepping stone unto a haulage business.

^^ That 30k-50k is a farce. It's quite impossible else that business would not be feasible unless they undertake a single journey weekly. Maybe big construction companies do pay such(?)
Even if true, that's bout 100k (after tax?) a month plus a lot of free days for someone sensible to engage in other business commitments or jobs.

Mayorwer: @blackbaron pls i downloaded move2sd but its not moving my app.what do i do.even app2sd doesnt move as well.

You rooted bro... download root checker from play store to confirm root status. Those apps only work with rooted devices unless you haven't got enough memory on your sd card.

[quote author= bush4ker(m]which android phone should i buy especially for hd gaming.pls dont say galaxy s2 or s3 cuz it will make a hole in my pocket.[/quote]An evo 3D, S1 or so...it depends on what you got though bro. Would have dropped my DHD for 25K but gosh, the battery life is terrible and well knackered.
Others are sony xperia ray, Xperia U et al. Best advise is dual core with an hdmi out.

Me think due to the informal Nigerian nature where parents, family et al provide for and support the youths until they get jobs or whatnot is to blame.
Abroad, most of the youths do all kinds of job until they secure better professional jobs. A guy I know once doing odd jobs with an IT masters is now sitting pretty so also others I personally know of.

The trucking most dispel pays far better than any retail job abroad. (Infact,most vocational jobs pay far better than) Been looking for a truck driver to drive from A to B within a 2 hour interval and cheapest I'm getting is equivalent to 90k just for 120 mins.

I gather from here most youths are rather content chasing girls, robbery, playing xbox or trying to outdo each other at their obligatory yahoozee scams. Get a grip!

This bunch of graduate dolts still amuse me.
Unless its your wish to sit down in truck driving forever, which is clearly not the case for most...

'Do not despise humble beginnings'

Who's the prettiest Nigerian female footballer, I'll like to marry 1.

If you could find Nigerians on the Fiji islands at the far reaches of the South Pacific ocean, then what is South Sudan.

You even sure RCCG and spare parts dealers ain't there yet?

Your e-mail add?

That house looks very Euro-Centric,- The steinway, Greco-Roman busts, framed artworks, extra long dining tables and just too many rooms.
Looks good even if a lil bit too palatial but no hate.

I'd be more interested to see a minimalist design if any, though considering Nigerian's tendency to outshine, don't bet on seeing many.

Oil is a 'curse' or least in Nigerian context - Congrats on the discovery though, but as long as your community doesn't begin to look like this many years later.

My oh my.

A human could fall for that...
You need to to go back to school.

Boss
GBP = ?

Edit.
Sorry, was in a hurry, what's your rate for British Pounds?

You'd have to download them individually from xda forums or others.
CW is for installing and backing up stock or modified ROMS.

^^ Word.

Sometimes I think their society is now so decayed that the difference between fact and fiction has now been blurred.
Heck, some would project their vices on anything to absolve themselves of blame.
I wonder what the OP's managed to correlate the media as a cause of 'our image' abroad.

Acidosis: Arrest who?
Did he steal Nigeria's money to start his oil business?
Its better you arrest the F.G. Your government is lazy, slotful and glutonic. Your government lack motivators, achievers and dreamers. If I decide to refine the gold we have in Nigeria today, your government will come tommorrow shouting my name for not selling it at a cheap(er) rate. .whereas the gold has been there even before I was born but they couldn't do anything about it.
I think the government need to BEG them to do something about the scarcity

*Sigh* So after defrauding the state and mortgaging the future of others by tendering illicit lading bills, we should still beg them right?

alfredo4u: Hw i wish natural disaster wil affect d north, such as tsunami, earthquake and flooding so dat dis bh guys go stop by force in Jesus name, say Amen if u r in support or like if u want it to happen soon

What a stupid and wicked prayer!

How bout the innocents
M0ron.

It's not enough to name them alone. Charge them to court and convict or penalise these bunch of thieving defrauding bastards.

Here we go again as it looks like they'll only get away with slaps on their wrist.

These phones may struggle to do all you ask for.
A 1ghz+, 756 RAM and a fairly powerful gpu should suffice otherwise any underpowered device would experience lag.

emperorbukky: 1. Can tecno T1 play HD games ?
2. Does it come with adobe flash?
3. How is battery life?
4. How is multitasking doing?
5. Can it run watsapp application?
6. Can it handle nba, real football, pes, racing and other nice games from gameloft smoothly?
7. Is it good for gaming?
8. What about the web (internet) browsing experience?
9. What is the difference between tecno t1 and tecno t3?
10. What about the issue of restarting and lagging?
11. Which display is the sharpest and the best, tecno t1, tecno t3 and Lg optimus L3 E400?
Pls, can a sincere user of this device answer these questions by telling me the pros and cons of this phone, asap. Because, I'm planning to buy one.

Tis amnesty was a bribery to allow oil continue to flow after near collapse of oil revenues.

The core Niger Delta problems of degradation, impoverishment et al are still yet to be addressed. Nigeria is sitting on a keg of gun powder and when shite hits the fan...Damn!

Dang! I got banned by the spambot and my post got hidden.

There's a new Chinese quadcore phone. 'Xiaomi Phone 2' 4.3 inch ips display,16gb and all. Ships with MIUI UI and jellybean as stock. @$310 that's certainly a deal breaker.
