See, just go for Infinix. All those altitude sensors and barometric sensors someone was mentioning in favour of Samsung are not value for money. Check 98% of people using high-end phones like Samsungs and Iphones they dont even use 70% of the facilities the phone has to offer.
We are talking about phones for purpose use here, and someone is talking about Iris/retina scan (aside from locking/unlocking what else will you use iris for), Geomagnetism (You wan study magnetism or the phone will supply you 5kw of electricity) Wireless Charging (You will still need to connect the wireless sensor to socket) Water resistant (Unless you are stupid, u wan go swim with the phone?)
.....Ah Oyinbo smart pass us I swear. Next, they will tell you they've added mosquito repellant or food downloading app/software to Samsung and jack up the price by additional $250.
My advise is first remove all the specs and so called special add-ons that samsung boast of that you know you will never-ever need or use...then place the two side-by-side and weigh which one offers you good value for the money.
If you are working hard for your money and value every penny of your sweat.....Go for Infinix.
Yampotatocarrot: As much as you're correct, you forgot we don't have a database of our citizens. You don't seem to remember that this who applied for National ID card haven't gotten it 4/5 years later.
My question is, was this the state of those countries you love to point out before they started tagging their cows??... A good thing done in a wrong time becomes a bad thing... Bible says, "Don't let your good be evil spoken of"
But if they say there'll be no money budgeted for it, no special agency will be created, rather the they'll make use of the ministry of agriculture workers, agricultural extension department, Livestop production staff, e.t.c, trust me, Nigerians won't have issue with it... Oya, touch your heart and tell me if you believe thats what they'll do.
I don't understand where we differ. I think you just butteressed my point. I did say it may not be a pressing issue for us, but it is one of the multiple solutions to farmers/herders and cattle rustling problems.
My concern is the way people just start comparing "apples and mangoes"... Twitter in Ghana, Amazon in South Africa. Database for Cows in Nigeria. If those countries are having general insecurity issues. Mega Corporations like the above mentioned may not consider them too.
We have myriads of issues on our hands, and every suggestions at solving them shouldn't be waved away or mocked at. Everything we yearn for in this country is hinged on "security".
And I quote the word "Security" again. It's so vast and so deep. Without it, even the little we have will be destroyed.
I don't know why this doesn't seems to be a good development to many people. In most developed countries, RFID tags are been used to track animals. It's a positive suggestion the senator made in my own view.
If you say we have other pressing needs above creating databases for animal is understandable. We are still a developing nation. But to rubbish the suggestion in totality makes me worried the way Nigerians reasons.
It reminds me when former Minister of Agriculture, Akinwunmi Adeshina proposed Mobile Phones to farmers in 2003. Many mocked the decision. They didn't see how that will help farmers.
They didn't see how that will prevent 3rd parties and middlemen from highjacking and inflating the price of fertilizers and improved seeds. They didn't see that developing the rural communities.... so much they didn't see.
They didn't see the overall picture which the Minister and his cabinet must have thoroughly considered having taking several feedbacks from farmers.
Neutralobserver: To understand why they have not been able to pay tax between 2012-18, see the PWC report on financing the power sector in Nigeria, relased in 2018
Basically, power companies like Kaduna DISCO until recently were charging for power below its cost of production perkwh, and as a result they were running at a loss since their founding and could not make enough of a profit to break even, talkless of paying taxes.
See the report here...page 18 is where the main detail I refer to is.
Only few would understand this. I know for a fact that electricity is really very expensive. Same as every other energy.
Many people always think Nigeria is a very rich country, but the reality is we are a Pathetically poor nation by all standard.
Is it someone that's earning 18k a month you will ask to pay 5k monthly for electricity?
Maiduguri is the Capital of Borno State. It is located in the Sahel Savannah region of north-east Nigeria .
Maiduguri is the capital and largest city of Borno state in northeastern Nigeria.
The state is called home of peace ,yes it was one of most peaceful state in Nigeria before the Boko Haram issues started. Some people think that people don't live in the city or the city might be a ghost city due to the attacks.
We went round the city to show or take you to Maiduguri via this video so that you will know how Maiduguri look like.
●NOTE The video will be useful to people that always hear of the state in the news and what to know how the state looks like.
If Maiduguri is home of Peace, Kaduna is home of Freedom and DSS office is home of "Free Speech".
Everytime people use traffic as an excuse, I find it very untenable. You must know the city you live in and plan your journey accordingly.
If you have only one opportunity to fly out of the country, or to meet up for a business contract worth billions of dollars.... Wouldn't you factor traffic into your plan?
Other excuse I hate to hear is "....It's raining heavily"
Honestly it's all Ambode's fault, the $50 million USD spent on Oshodi interchange would have finished blue line
Right now Sanwo-Olu can't even start his own projects he is busy fixing Fashola and Ambode's mess with many abandoned project all over
Blame game will never end. Even if Ambode completed the Blue rail....you will still hear he could have completed the Oshodi interchange.
Governance is continuum. Ambode has closed shop. It's Sanwo-Olu's duty to continue. He's not going to finish all the work in his time as well.
So it will not be right if another person says he should have built an hyperloop, tram or state airport. As long as the continuation is there, everything will eventually be completed.
It's a public service, not their personal project.
pierrenwob: They are not all the same. Whatever TV Box you buy should be Google Certified if you really want to enjoy it. The Meecool TV Box is Google Certified.
You must understand that there are several operating systems. What I meant by they are all the same is in the basic function - IPTV (Watching TV via the internet). They basically will all do that certified or not.
I have my reasons for recommending that one. If by tomorrow goggle block access of some of these illegal apps, you just may be able to download apk on other systems that are not Google certified.
I have mecool as well and it skips a lot. Ever since I've been using x-88 pro, I don't have such issue.
And if you really want to go the way of "they are not all the same thing" You should be talking of the likes Nvidia shield Pro, Xiaomi box S, Amazon Fire Stick, Roku ultra and the likes. Those are the real machines. But they are quite expensive. So I know why I recommend that cos I've tried few of these cheap boxes including mecool.
franchasng: Ellon Musk and co are working hard to take food away from Nigerians as he continues to push out more of his powerful, energy saving, cost-effective electric powered cars while Nigerians are rejoicing about it.
The kind hardship that will hit Nigeria by 2040 when Tesla and other electric car makers, battery-powered homes, plus electric manufacturing process companies must have fine-tuned the process and brought the price down such that majority of middle class population of most European, American and Asian countries can afford it easily.......can only be imagined. By then, the Nigerian government will start taxing Nigerians for sleeping, waking up and eating......just to raise enough money for them to loot as usual when crude oil sales and price will become almost zero. By that time, every Nigerian family will have a banditry department that specializes in kidnapping people for ransom as a means of surviving the impending economic hardship, Let's wait and see
There is really serious concern and need to be worried about battery powered vehicles taking away people's job and cutting Nigeria's economy. However, my greatest concern is when AI is fully developed....It appears there would be no limit to what that technology can do.
See, first go and conquer this cheating spirit in you. If you will cheat few weeks to your wedding, you most definitely will cheat even when married. This is a clear indication to you that you are not ready yet.
Freestainworld: 2023 Is fast approaching, many politicians who think they are relevant now will end up becoming political prostitutes, jumping from one party to another, they will be reduced to nothing, but the commissioner didn't do well.
See....ehn, the only people been reduced to nothing is us the masses. These politicians will forever regroup and when they are not there, their cronies will do their biddings. The political space has been rigged against the common man so much that they will continue to recycle themselves in power.
Even with stark poverty, high unemployment, insecurity issues and all....the common man will still vote for these set of people again and again esp. when they've dangle N5000 in his face. Our problems are deep and it is of great advantage to the current political order that the larger society remain shackled.
The only solution to our problems is to make politics less lucrative. Once our politics is not lucrative, we will gradually start getting people with genuine interest to serve into governance. For now, 99% of people in politics are there for the money. It is the No.1 paying job in the country.
Moneyboyz: I just tire bro, those people didn't pay my money till date, I bought another land and developed it and now this is happening. I finished it just 2 weeks ago.
If thunder strike in the same place twice, don't you think it's not ordinary? Seek spiritual help man.
omophunky: If this happened in Nigeria it would have taken months to free, not to mention the amount that'll be budgets for it.
No it won't. If it is a major commercial artery, trust Nigerian government, they will free it asap too. When there is massive money involved, it will be on a front burner.
alizma: Can someone with knowledge of this Otedola bridge explain why is this high tendency for vehicles to catch fire on Otedola bridge, is there something that cause hold up there which eventually results to overheating of vehicle engines and then explosion or what?
That section of the road need to be negotiated very carefully. But it's just so unfortunate our drivers don't learn and road managers don't put measures in place to prevent recurrence.
