PhonePlanet:
Nice write up.

But I think your definition of "china phone" is quite Different from mine. I see china phone as substandard! So once a phone meets standards, its no longer "china phone" even if its made in china by Chinese.

Therefore, I call substandard phones made in other part of the world, even nigeria, "china phone"

So "china phone" to me is a noun
Yours is an Adjective

BTW the was no point in/of the whole article (my own personal feeling)

Do you have Nigerian phone at least. The Op brought out the evolution of a country developing at a fast pace and you are saying that they are substandard.

Will you be happy if the name of your country is used synonymously to substandard.

Grow up

GeneralShepherd:
Didn't you read where the article stated UK? At least learn how to read before you criticise'

What difference does it make if the poster did not notice its UK. The fact remains that she is showing off in a common train and for what.

marked10:
First of all, let me laugh in swahili .. hahahahahahahaha. Ok. That's by the way and on a more serious note, I heard change has come to Nigeria and i didn't believe it. Is this one of the change? Drivers and bribers, you are in trouble ooo. Any how i write am, take am like that abeg, English hard.

A driver who tried to bribe Federal Road Safety Corps marshals with the sum of N500 was today found guilty and convicted at the ongoing Mobile Court Sitting at Sagamu Unit Command. Wait, they don't collect bribe anymore or that the eguje (money) was too small? #Justasking. so make nobody crucify me oooo. hmmmmm

What they need is for you to keep begging until they say go and sit inside your car. Once you are in your car they will let you know what they need

rapmike:
That's the beginning of greatness!

Only that his skill may be wasted here.

It cannot be wasted. Let us stop thinking skills will be wasted in Nigeria. Keep doing what you can do until the face of Nigeria changes. Is it bad if we have a made inNigeria bicycle as long as he is not expecting to become a billionaire over night.

Only in naija.... We too rugged

What is only in Naija. Other countries also improvise when the new too.

Mzgracie:
Like seriously, I can't believe what my eyes are seeing..
Never knew something like still exist in Naija

Many exist but Nigerians are not innovative yet to bring out the wealth of the Nation

drss:
hahahhahahahahaha APC is made up of PDP waste products, yet dem buari dullard go say PDP destroyed nigeria.
List of those who buari alleged destroy nigeria now in APC:
1. OBJ former PDP President for 8 years, now APC navigator n godfather.
2. Atiku former PDP vice President for 8 years, now APC chieftain.
3. Ameachi former PDP gov for 7 years, now APC hitman.
4. Audu Ogbe former PDP chairman now APC stalwart n minister.
5. Jim Nwobodo former PDP now APC new recruit.
6. Elrufai former PDP for 10 years now APC governor.
7. Saraki former PDP now APC senate president.
8. Kwankwaso former PDP gov now APC senator.
9. Tambuwal former PDP speaker now APC governor.
10. Simon lalong former PDP speaker now APC governor.
11. Nyako former PDP gov now APC super star.
12. Silva former PDP gov now APC guber candidate who lost bayelsa elections.
13. The list is endless so who's fooling who

This is why I keep telling a stubborn friend of mine who doesn't like the truth that we do not have any political party in Nigeria. What we have is called pressure groups pursuing their own selfish interest. I voted for Buhari and not APC and I am not supporting any pressure group.

AltarBoy1:
Pardon my typo and formats, na small phone I dey use.

I have been contemplating whether to create this thread or not, cos my experience was kinda embarrassing for me. But lo and behold, I was shortlisted for the next stage. So I decided to share this just so that others will pick a point or two from it (thats if there is any).
I made it to the interview stage after two tests. So as usual, I got myself prepared for the interview, researched about the company, got answers to some possible interview questions.
Fast forward to the venue of the interview, I met some other candidates at the gate. Some were with their jotters, rehearsing their answers while others are just whining away time. So I just walk up to one girl that was standing alone to chat up with her before the interview start.

Few minute later, they called in the first person. After about 20 min, they called in the second person. Then next they called me in
The panel was made up of 3 people, a lady with two other men. From what I later gathered, the lady is the zonal MD and the two men were from the HR department.
After sitting down, they requested for my documents and photocopies, which I presented to them. They were all quiet, scanning through my documents until the lady spoke up.
Lady: Can you give us one good reason why you graduated with 2.2
Me: *Silent for a while* Plz repeat the question.
Lady: *Repeats*
Me: Well, there is no excuse for failure in life. If I have to give any excuse, it should be why I made 2.1 or first class against all odds and not why I made 2.2. So I dont think I have any reason to give, even if there is, I wouldnt say it.
Lady: *Silent while looking at me*
Man1: You just said 2.2 is failure, can you tell us why you used that word failure.
Me:*see as I put myself for wahala* Well, technically speaking, I called it failure cos currently in the labor market, 90% of all job vacancy requires 2.1 and above. Its only few that accept 2.2. And giving the population of the unemployed graduates, having a 2.2 is really a disadvantage. Thats why I used the word failure.
Man2: What do you mean by technically?
Me: Conditionally or under a certain condition.
Lady: Now, does it mean that you are technically a failure
Me:*I don F-up with this word wey I use* Technically am not,*can see the smile/laff on their face* If I am, I wont be sitting right in front of you considering the two aptitude tests that one have to scale before been here.
Lady: Maybe luck was on your side.
Me: Luck cant just choose only me among all the 100s of candidates that attended the tests.
Lady: Yes it can
Me: *Silent**in my mind, I was like, e b like say na luck carry you reach this position wey you dey now.*
Man2: Now, tell us why we should hire you?
Me: *smiled**didnt know that the smile was so obvious. So as I was about answering the question, the lady cuts in*
Lady: Why are you smiling?
Me: Nothing ma.
Lady: It cant be nothing, tell us why you are smiling.
Me: *Feeling Scared* Nothing ma, maybe its cos I have a smiling face.
Lady: How can you have a smiling face when you have been boning since you came in here. Even your passport says it all.
Me: *feeling more scared* with due respect ma, its nothing.
Man1: If you dont tell us, I think you should just go so we can call in the next candidate.
Me: *confused and scared, I just decided to say anything* I am smiling because I was expecting that particular question. *decide to add salt and pepper* in fact, we have been rehearsing the answers to this question and some other possible questions outside before I was called in.
Man1: So you already crammed the answers.
Me: Not really.
Man2: Then what/how
Me: Well, I have come up with some possible answer that suits my personality
Man2: And you think that answer is good enough.
Me: *By now, am already confused, so I was just saying anything that comes to my mind* Well, at least its good enough to impress the HR.
Lady: Is that what you think
Me: *Silent*
Man1: Ok, Now answer the question
Me: Well, Let me just say it the way it is in my mind. You should hire me because am not going to fail.
Man2: What do you mean by you are not going to fail.
Me: I have been unemployed for a long time, so if given the opportunity, I will anything that I can to sure that I dont go back to my unemployed status.
*All silent*
Me: things within the banks policy and interest
Lady: Is that the answer you came up with.
Me: No. I dont want to use it again cos its just to speak English and doesnt tell the real me since is something I picked over the net and modified.
Man2: Can we hear it.
Lady: No, just leave him *turning to me* You read chemical engineering, and you want to work in a bank. Are you not trying to go off your career?
Me: Well, even though I have a background in engineering, I do not have a career yet until I gain experience in a particular field, from there I can build my career.
Lady: Do you think you can survive in the bank as an engr.
Me: Engrs are trained to be flexible and adaptive. I believe I can and will succeed in the banking sector. If Mr. XXXX (the current CEO of the bank) and Mrs. YYYYY (one of their senior executive) can succeed, I see no reason why I cant.
Man2: Why are you comparing yourself with them?
Me: Cos they both read a course that has nothing to do with banking.
Lady: Name them.
Me: Electrical Engineering and Microbiology
Man2: So you have the faith that you can do it.
Me: Yes. Plus the fact that I always have luck *grin*.
They just burst out laughing.
Man1: Tell us any three recent happenings in Nigeria or policies by the FG that is affecting the banking industry
Me: TSA, Fight against corruption and drop in oil price.
Lady: Explain them.
Me: *did the little explanation that I can* Summary is that money is leaving the bank
Lady: Go, personnel will get back to you
Naso I begin dey go come dey think say I don f-up Till just last week, I got a text that that I was successful, that they will get back to be for the next stage.
#Godwin

Before I read you last line, I knew you would be successful right from where they asked you why you want to work in the bank having read chemical engineering. I am a human resource consultant and I could tell the enthusiasm and confidence you exhumed right from that point not brushing aside the right answers though it's being a bit evident before that line. Congrats and I pray you get the job finally and moved on to the next stage.

What a Glaring Lie.

Does Nigeria have Missile defence system to intercept missiles from Iran?

They must be stupid to go to war. If they are so pained, let them give the Shiites or whatever they are called automatic citizenship and have them relocate to Iran.

bjdon:
6 years of 'clueless', 'incompetent' GEJ nothing like this happend.

The almighty wise one, whose name we are not worthy to mention has only been in govt for 8 months and we've got a crashed currency, rule of law consigned to the dustbin, and now we are at loggerheads with Iran! Iran of all countries, a country that even the US treads carefully with. Good one ACP, carry on, 2016 promises to be very interesting.

Coward. Iran is the one going beyond their boundaries. This is Nigeria with Laws and sovereign powers over here own territory, so Iran should stay with its own territory and not meddle with our affairs. So what, they will bring jet fighters or what or release nuclear/biological weapon. Nonsense

ProfessorPeter:
Yoruba dey form anytime Oshomole talk say "Jonathan is corrupt" a mere small tribe like Nupe dey kill them. Where Oba of Lagos? Where that cultist where e dey speak big big grammar? Where OPC dey? Where Deji of Akure? Dem do become deaf, dumb, blind and peaceful. If na igbo do such thing, you for dey see dem dey beat their dry chests. Cowardice

And is it written that the Yoruba's ran away or fought back? Is it written that only Yoruba's died. Please think. Only cowards think after speaking.

Vanquay:
Menh Nigerian women are really Ugly.

Hold up hold up, Lalasticlala is that your hoe?

Someone tell this idiot to leave noserings to those that can rock it like indians and arabs and fine lightskins
That Nosering makes me want to shove bleach down her throat, she looks like a freaking autistic whore_...

DJ play my shiit so...Ass phat...............

Dumb for saying Nigerian women are ugly. Be direct and say she is ugly. Its amazing that most people are yet to understand how to relate. Is she the one that gave birth t all Nigerian women?

ril19:
Your foreign exchange restriction policy is meant to discourage import of goods that can be produced locally. that's good.


Buh one question for you baba; what are you doing to encourage already established businesses within the country?


Take for instance the automobile industry. Local manufacturers like IVM and others need supports, incentives and concessions because such an industry can be a huge employer of labour in the country when fully harnessed. keep trying baba.


#babathinko

CBN sill supports Manufacturers

habeeblai244:
This has been bordering me since I was in secondary school. I am now in Higher Institution. Yet I still can't figure this out. Why will a higher institution student for that matter who has been Studying English Language for the past 10years at least can't speak English but will prefer Pidgin?

My friends speaks pidgin, when I try to correct them, they will give lame excuse that not that they can't speak English but they prefer pidgin. Pidgin is for those who didn't go to school at all but need to communicate with those who understand English. Higher institution students, why do you prefer pidgin to English?

Can't speak or won't speak

Dee60:
You want to put Naira in your account in Nigeria and withdraw dollars freely abroad! Where would Nigeria have all the dollars to fund that. with the oil price fallen to by more than 60?

Does it occur to anyone that allowining free withdrawal (dollar against naira) will result in huge dollar debt for Nigeria over time?

Is there not an avenue for students to have their fees transferred officially instead of via ATMs?

The protesters need to push their argument clearly. Otherwise, it is simple commonsense that you cannot dollarise your economy, unless you want to pile up debt for future generations. Common sense.

If we had saved forex when oil was USD100 plus, it would have helped a bit. But with dwindling reserve CBN has to look for ways to curb DOLLAR consumption. We just cannot continue to CONSUME what we dont produce and expect FG or CBN to do magic.

Please think before you talk. Read before you comment. Common sense says so..

They are dumb. Banks still pays tuition fee through CBN Using form as well as accommodation fee for students. Most of the guys understand nothing about a the system works

EternalTruths:
Which party did they vote for.?

If APC, they should shut up and embrace the Chain called Change

My friend, you voted for the government of the day does not mean you should not hold them accountable or show grievances. Please be objective.

FlirtyKaren:
The young lady needs your advice too... smh.

http://www.lailasblog.com/2015/12/nigerian-lady-who-slept-her-way-to-top.html

Imagine you referring yourself to be a victim in this situation. They gave you an offer and you accepted it because that is who you are. You could have as well quitted the job in the first place knwoing you are not a permanent staff. I beggi.

MKO4ever:
A caution deposit of N35billion at near zero interest rate is too punitive for the operators. But I believe the objective of the FG here is to reduce the number of the BDC operators in the market.

Read well. $35 million and not billion

killercute16:
I just pity arsenal......bad luck follows them like mtn......after all the struggle through group stage.



Arsenal fans,be strong there is nothing impossibe,have faith

When you said you are pitying Arsenal, Is Chelsea's possible opponents jokers or that of Mancity?

b0y:
I will never understand the underlying chemistry with tall ladies who still wear heels.

Just look how she con she be like A.Y home economics teacher

Heels is not basically to get an extra height but to make them walk stylishly.

Husband dressed up while wife is wearing a guess me dress. Na wa o

Imagine him saying the should establish National Truth Commission in order to be able to debate. I do not understand the level of thought pattern our so called leaders possess. So until we have a commits on before we can become truthful, or maybe I'm not getting it.

m4una:
Nay! You can't subject the innocent to suffer for what you know he/she knows nothing about.

Unfortunately again, you can't help it most times

m4una:
Then you direct your abuses on him and leave the igbos alone.

Unfortunately, when a sinner suffers the innocent has high probability of partaking in the suffering

m4una:
So many intelligent ppl here without 'common sense', the moniker @Omolesa you all are quoting while bashing the Igbos you all love to hate is a yoruba mischief maker. Can't you all use ur heads for ones and understand that no biafran 'll spell the name as he did. Common sense is really nt common. Ndi ara

Whichever way, it's not about common sense but rather a very wrong way of being sarcastic. You don't play sacarsm with a delicate issue. If 90% perceived him that way then that is his message. He created the noise so let him deal with it

omoelesa:
Buhari is a tribalist, he probaly wants to kill capital oil own by an ibo man.This is victimazation and marginalization,we want biafraaud.

So its only capital oil that is on that list abi. Haba I can't just understand some individuals thought pattern.

kokoA:
I think say na only me notice am o. How many years he spill for sch?

Is it only spill over that can make a graduate enrols year later? Just leave it the way it is

These are obviously set of people who taught they have cleverly crafted a pot of milk for themselves. Imagine during any election, they will claim they are pressure groups to consider for vote etc.They are thieves. Anyway, what do one expect of a lawless country.

Decker:
I don't know why people joke with such things. There are boundaries to which one should pull pranks, but sometimes, people don't respect this boundary.

The guy in question isn't observant, because if he was, he would understand that his girlfriend is fragile emotionally and she requires just a little triggering before she snaps.

Well, lesson for all.

Let her tell God that she is fragile. Giving an unscrupulous excuse

.http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/12/why-we-must-cut-n18-000-minimum-wage-or-sack-workers-govs/

Nonsense, and in the midst looting continues. Can't they see how there IGR will increase rather than expecting Federal allocation to do the whole billing. They should create a value chain that will bring about wealth to improve the life of the common man rather than making there matters worst.
