Sports / Re: Andy Ruiz Jr Rules Out UK Rematch With Anthony Joshua; Says It's A Trap by Buhariismad(m): 6:19am On Jul 26, 2019
Ijeleigbo:


Very wrong! Ruiz is the champion, the holder of the belts and have the right to determine where the rematch would be suitable for him.... He once mentioned Mexico or the US.... Joshua earlier said he would love to redeem his image at US where he fell.... Why UK all of a sudden I strongly support Ruiz, its a trap!!! In my own opinion, the US where the first fight was held is the best location for the rematch....
Stop displaying ignorance, Google is your friend.

Ruiz shocked the world last month, Ruiz dropped Joshua four times to secure a seventh round stoppage and captured the IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight titles.

joshua-ruiz (2)_2


There is a rematch clause, which Joshua exercised.

Despite Ruiz's numerous statements in the media with respect to money and making the fight in Mexico, most promoters will establish the rematch location, and the financial terms, in the initial bout agreement.

So when Ruiz signed on for the first bout, the rematch terms were already outlined in that contract.

Ruiz took the fight as a late replacement for Jarrell Miller, who was pulled from the fight after failing three drug tests.

“Andy Ruiz Jr is an honorable stand up guy. He knows what he signed and it wasn’t unfair what he signed but he has contractual obligations that he has to meet now. Andy Ruiz was chosen from a group of people because we believed he would be the best most competitive fight for Anthony Joshua – we were right," Hearn told IFL TV.


“And then, if he was to win that fight, as set out in the contract there were a number of terms that he would have to adhere to. It’s very standard. It’s not, ‘oh that was out of order, he is the A-side now’.

"No, this was what was agreed by both parties. Negotiated and agreed. Joshua will be the one who ultimately decides where that fight takes place

Romance / How I Became A Lesbian. We would Kiss Passionately, Do 69... by Buhariismad(m): 8:42pm On Apr 03, 2019
Please post and keep me anonymous... God bless you Long epistle alert!!!! They call me ebony beauty with the sexy body...Growing up, I had lots of women I mean married women who found me very attracted and wanted to explore my body, but I wanted none of that, someone whom I looked up to was also interested in me.



She was so in love with me that she gave me everything I wanted, at first I thought she just loved me as a sister and a friend (because we were related) until she made a pass at me which I refused and she apologized and promised not to repeat that move again, I was just barely llyears old then and I thank God for saying No because it would have affected me in secondary school when I went to an all girls boarding school.

Fast forward to 7 years after secondary school when I was nearly raped by an elderly woman, she locked me up in her room when she asked me to pay her a visit. she made me suck her boobs before she could let me leave her house, i was so upset, i felt mortified..I was just barely 18years old.



A year after, I relocated to another city for school, I had to live with my Aunty and her kids, her younger sister was also in the house, I never knew her sister was a bi sexual until one night we were playing and she showed me her silk pajamas which was bringing out sparks in the dark, I was so fascinated by it that I kept rubbing on the fabric to see the sparks when she told me to stop that I was turning her on by it, at first I thought she was joking so I kept at it (I was still a virgin).



She said she was going to touch me too, I jokingly said I wasn't wearing the same type of pajamas so it didn't matter, to my surprise she just moved straight to my breast part and started rubbing on my nipples, I wanted to..CONTINUE READING..
Car Talk / Car Insurance Comparison Quote For Car Owners by Buhariismad(m): 10:01am On Mar 16, 2019
CAR INSURANCE QUOTES, THE BASICS
Car insurance is absolutely required if you wish to drive a car without running the risk of a large fine or even worse. Insurance coverage is issued by an insurer in the event of an accident, theft, or any unforeseen or unwanted occurrences

Car insurance is absolutely required if you wish to drive a car or run the risk of a large fine or even worse.

Car insurance guide and questions
Our car insurance guide explains the car insurance market and the legal aspects of insuring your vehicle, while also explaining the different types of cover you can get.

Why do I need car insurance?
At its most basic, car insurance protects you, your car, and other people from the consequences of any road accident you might be involved in. It provides financial compensation to cover any damage to property, or injuries to other drivers, passengers, or pedestrians.

In the UK, the Road Traffic Act 1988 says all motorists must be insured against their liability to other people, so whether you drive a car, van, or motorbike, the law says you must have insurance.

What’s the penalty for driving without car insurance?
Driving without car insurance is an offence for which you could be fined or disqualified from driving. The maximum fine is £5,000 with an added six to eight penalty points on your licence, while the Road Safety Act of 2006 allows for harsher sentences for drivers who kill or are involved in accidents while driving uninsured.

The police also have the power to seize, and in some cases, destroy any vehicle found to be driven uninsured. Vehicles seized can only be released by showing a valid insurance certificate and on payment of a fixed penalty.



Do I need car insurance for a car that never goes on the road?
No. If you own a car that is kept off-road, it needs to have a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) in force. All other UK registered vehicles must be taxed if used or kept on public roads.

It costs nothing to make a SORN but if you later decide to drive the car on public roads again, you’ll need to contact the DVLA and get it re-taxed.

What different types of car insurance are there?
There are three main types of car insurance available, which will cover you and your car to varying degrees:

Third party car insurance
Third party car insurance is typically the lowest type of cover required by law. It insures you if you’re involved in an accident and injure someone and also covers the cost of repairing or replacing the other person’s car – it doesn’t cover damage to your own car.

If you can handle paying for the damage to your own car yourself, then third party car insurance could work out, but it’s never possible to predict how badly your car will be damaged after an accident.

Third party, fire and theft car insurance
Third party, fire and theft car insurance is the same as third party but provides additional cover if your car is damaged in a fire or stolen.

Insurers will weigh up how much risk your car is exposed to in terms of fire damage and theft, so anything that proves you can mitigate that will work in your favour.

Comprehensive car insurance
Comprehensive car insurance, or ‘fully-comprehensive’ insurance, is the highest level of cover and insures against the cost of repairing or replacing your car if it’s involved in an accident, regardless of blame.

Car insurance - What does my cover include?



Comprehensive cover can sometimes include additional extras such as medical expenses, legal cover, and cover for personal items in your car.

The cost of each type of cover does not necessarily depend on how comprehensive they are. While it may seem logical for third party car insurance to cost less, that’s not always the case. Fully comprehensive cover may actually be cheaper for some drivers, so it’s important to compare all levels of cover when shopping around.

What factors affect how much I pay for car insurance?
A whole range of factors are taken into account when insurers calculate car insurance premiums. Some of the biggest include:

the type of car you drive
where the car is kept
the age and experience of the driver
details of any additional drivers
where you live
what you use your car for
your claims history
Having a driving offence, such as skipping a red traffic light, might also affect how much you pay for your car insurance. Prices vary depending on the seriousness of the offence – for example, a driver with a drink driving conviction would certainly face higher premiums.



What is a no-claims bonus or discount?
For each year you have car insurance and don’t make a claim, you’ll get a discount on the following year’s premium – this is known as a no-claims bonus.

Some insurers will have special discounts even for those who only have their no-claims bonus streak broken by an accident that wasn’t their fault, but generally even that will break your no-claims discount.

See our guide for more information and to see how much you could save with a no-claims bonus.

What is an excess?
An excess is the amount you will have to pay towards the cost of any insurance claim. There are two types of excess: voluntary, which means you can decide whether to include one and its amount, and compulsory, which is set by the insurer.

Increasing the voluntary excess will often give you a cheaper premium, but it can also have little or no effect on quotes.



When comparing car insurance, it’s important to vary excess levels to see how much your quote changes. If you’re looking for car insurance for a young driver, then it’s likely that increasing your voluntary excess may have no effect on your quote.

How to get cheap car insurance
While there are many factors you can’t control when it comes to the cost of cover, there are some simple measures you can take to keep the cost down in your search for very cheap car insurance, including:

Paying a higher voluntary excess (the extra amount you’d pay in the event of a claim)
Limiting who drives your car to just yourself, or you plus a named driver
Parking your car in a garage or driveway away from the street
Keeping your mileage low (doing less than the average of 8,000 miles per year according to the National Travel Survey)
Fitting a security device such as an alarm, tracker, or immobiliser

Phones / Nokia 3310 (2017) Review: Selling Nostalgia To Grandparents, Sore Thumbs And All by Buhariismad(m): 11:35am On Mar 02, 2019
There is no denying that Nokia made the 2000s great in terms of mobile telephony. The Finnish manufacturer pioneered a lot of ‘firsts’ in the mobile industry, in addition to selling some of the world’s most popular dumb phones, including the likes of Nokia 1110 and 3310, the latter of which was revived in 2017 with a cleaner finish and a couple of upgrades. The new 3310 has been in my possession for nearly a month now, and there are so many things to say about my experience with the feature device, most of which are not very positive. However, it is imperative to understand the handset’s target demographic, which is still significant as millions of people across the globe do not have the financial muscle to purchase smart devices but has also dimmed due to the onslaught brought forth by the rapid growth of smart handhelds. That demographic, which also includes people who want their batteries to last longer, is what the 3310 aims to serve, not to mention the nostalgia aspect of the device that should theoretically appeal to the same group.

So, what does the new 3310 bring to the table in 2019? Is the device really functional in a country where people are replacing their feature phones with smartphones? What is really the goal of the Nokia 3310 besides serving older people such as our parents and grandparents who have no interest in accessing Internet-based services – although the device has a basic web browser? Can you productively use the phone as your primary and daily communicator without feeling that you are missing out? And how long can you survive with it, assuming you boxed your smart device and put it in a drawer? Well, I will try to address some of these questions, and hang on as we delve into the offerings of the not-so-new 3310 in a couple of concise paragraphs.

Handling



Nokia 3310 HandlingThe new 3310 is a tiny and relatively thin phone compared to the large brick that was the original 3310. It is also very light (probably less than 100 grams), and will noticeably remind you how big and heavy modern phones have become. While I keep it in my bag in most cases, it as not a bother in my pant pockets at all.

Nevertheless, I wish the device was a tad bigger, with a slightly bigger keypad because I found the 4-way navigation button quite challenging due to its tiny size. Speaking of the keypad…

The keypad

Remember when we could send a text without looking at the screen to confirm what we were typing? Those were good times. Some things have since been improved though; the keys are softer and click just fine (although a little cramped – considering my fingers are not that large anyway). T9 predictive tech is onboard, but you can deactivate it and roll back no-look typing when sending texts messages.

The typing experience was predictably a chore for me. Admittedly, I have used touch-sensitive keyboards longer than I spent time using physical keypads/boards. Remember the Nokia C3 from 2010 with its QWERTY keypad? That was the last device I typed on before making a full transition to Android-powered phones.

To this end, I have only sent two or three text messages with the 3310, and they were very short because the discomfort and slowness of hitting buttons a couple of times is just not my thing anymore. That ship has sailed in my world, and I don’t think I can even use a QWERTY one because I type faster on virtual keys.

There was a day I spent nearly an hour navigating through the device’s menus just to familiarize with the OS. It was not an exciting experience, to say the least, because my thumb nearly turned sore. Effectively, it makes the 2017 model of the 3310 a no-texting phone for me, or you.

User interface and apps

Nokia 3310 ScreenThe 3310 runs Nokia Series 30+ operating system. It is packed with a handful of java apps, some of which are very useful, including a voice recorder, a calendar and weather app, a notes app, a messaging app with support for threaded texts, FM radio and so forth.

Users can also download additional apps from the Opera Mobile Store.

The apps are strewn all over the 3 by 3 menu that can be switched to a 4 by 4 grid or list view.

You can edit several aspects of the OS via the Settings app, including ringtones, toggle flight mode on and off, change wallpapers, reorganize the Go To menu and so on. However, there are some things you cannot do, like adjusting brightness levels as the colour screen gest plenty bright at night.

Also, remember the Glance Screen on the now discontinued Lumia phones that display notifications or information on the screen? It is here too.

There is nothing extraordinary about the software package and user interface. It is functional, and I don’t think it misses anything a feature phone should have.

PS: This is a feature phone, so you cannot sync your details such as contacts. Therefore, you may need to copy your contacts to your SIM or send them via Bluetooth from your smart handheld. It is a bother, but that is the price you pay for abandoning the offerings of a smartphone.

Phone calls sound fine

They sound good. I also need to point out that the 3310 uses a better earpiece than what more capable devices, such as the mid- to low-end Transsion devices that ship with ship with underwhelming speakers.

One issue though: even at low volume, the earpiece is quite loud, and people next to you may hear your secret, deal-making conversations.

Look, browser!

The model I have does not have 3G. Accessing the internet via Opera Mini evokes good memories, but it is just too slow. To put this in context, just try to browse on 4G, and then switch to 3G. It is slow (by LTE standards) – and at one time, 3G was very fast. Now imagine how annoyingly slow 2G is.

By the way, you can quickly launch the browser by holding the 0 key.

The camera is bad

Nokia 3310 Camera

There is a 2 MP snapper with an LED flash on the back. It is mediocre, even by feature phone standards. I mean, look at these samples:

Music playback, FM radio ad Files

There is 16 MB of onboard storage, which can be supplemented by a microSD card. You can load the card with all the music and video you want for offline playback. However, just make sure those videos are low res, and there is a good chance that native video player will not recognize them. File management is addressed by a Files app, so there is that.

The device packs a set of conventional earphones that can be hooked on the device as an antenna for the FM radio.
Nokia 3310 Battery
Battery life is legendary

Nokia 3310 BatteryThe 1200 mAh removable battery lasts forever. I think I have only charged it 3 times in a month. Standby time is even better; this dumb phone barely sips juice when left idle.

Road warrior-worthy? Damn straight. This is the phone our ageing parents and grandparents who never jumped into the smartphone train can really enjoy. It is not a brick, oozes some sleekness and is generally well built to accommodate such a large battery – for a feature phone.

The device is juiced via a micro USB charger. It also takes like an hour or so from 0% to full. And yes, there is no per cent battery indicator.

Final words

Nokia 3310 (2017) was launched exactly two years ago during the staging of MWC in Barcelona. It has been selling in Kenya ever since for NGN15,000. That amount or less can buy you a smartphone, but Nokia is sticking to its pricing model. Of course, I get why it is still popular in some parts of the world as most people subscribe to the Nokia brand that launched tens of legendary phones in the past. However, I don’t see a lot of people setting aside NGN15K for a feature phone that can’t even browse on 3G, or take half-decent images. In addition, more and more Kenyans buy smartphones at this moment because who doesn’t want to engage in endless chitchats on WhatsApp and enjoy a daily dose of fake news on Facebook?


Can I buy it? For my dad, sure, but not for me, or any other young person I know. How about using it as a secondary device?
