OK. Thanks.

GrandMufti:
You may have to order the screen yourself. But before that, take it to a technician to disconnect and reconnect the screen
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by cardiorap: 10:02am On Jan 10, 2020
Yes, it charges. I've rebooted it severally, even with safe mode. The phone is on, it's just that the touch doesn't respond.

GrandMufti:
Oh I skipped the liquid part.

Does it charge? Try to reboot several times

Good afternoon!

Update:
I asked for a recall as advised here. Today, I got a message that I should come pick the phone. That it has arrived from Lagos.

I am there now. But funny enough, a phone I was told to buy screen for 22K is now displaying against the blank display it had when I dropped it at the care center.

I just put it on and shockingly, the touch isn't working. What kind of problem is this?

cardiorap:
Happy new year people!

My Xiaomi experience hasn't really been friendly. I joined the MI family in high spirits and hopes, following testimonies from users but I'm already feeling bad.

I bought the MI A3 4GB/64GB variant on 2nd December, 2019. 18 days later (20th December, 2019), I woke up to see my device not displaying any longer. No crack, no scratch, no fall; nothing. My 5am alarm that wakes me up only vibrated, I tried restarting the phone, it started booting with "Android One" displaying and next was a blank screen. It never displayed again.

I took it to their care center same day. I have just been called from the Lagos Office of the Care Center this morning, that I'd need a change of screen. That I should pay 22K for that.

I feel very bad that:
1. I didn't mishandle the device. In fact, I pampered it like it was a newborn baby. Yet, it still developed such fault.

2. The warranty terms doesn't cover such, especially that it's not coming from my end.

3. That after keeping my device for 2 weeks and 3 days, I've just been called to be informed of the development. When I was expecting to get my device any moment from now.

Sincerely, I feel so bitter right now. I never anticipated or expected this kind of experience.

olayinkajnr:
So sorry about your experience. From what you stated, it booted but stopped at Android One and then went blank. I mean, if it displayed Android One on the screen, then I doubt the screen have any issues.

I feel this is a case of bootloop. Or what do you think @Gptec, Genius43, GrandMufti
Please what's bootloop? That morning, when it was 5am, time for alarm, it only vibrated without any display. When I picked it up, I pressed the power button to see if it would restart or something. It just started and stopped displaying after showing Android One. I didn't know the phone was still on. I thought it has gone off, until a call entered and it started vibrating again.

The warranty process of what's pissing me more. I don't have the money they're telling me and I just feel something is not right about it.

Car TalkRe: Why Can't I Learn How To Drive by cardiorap: 2:05am On Jun 01, 2019
Bros, there are driving schools and there DRIVING SCHOOLS. Which city are you? I can recommend one for you.

I am an experienced driving school instructor. In an average weekday, I train 8 students for an hour each, and each of them has their peculiar challenge. Firstly, I hope you passed through the visual acuity test.

This is a small case compared to what we experience with students. I remember a particular student who could do so well with moving the vehicle but when it gets to turning the steering wheel, when asked to turn left, she'll turn right and vice versa. Sometimes she'll mix it all up and for over 4 days, she couldn't clearly, convincingly and confidently differentiate between left and right turn.

Your case is one of the commonest challenges students have.

Jimwalex:
But bro,u promised to give feed back na. On a serious note,please how did whole thing go last year? What would you sincerely advise some of us planning to register for this year? Thank you
AYEEN for me was an experience. It put me on my feet to prepare effectively for the entreprenuial task ahead of me.

I went for the screening last year, I passed through series of them, and the regular "job interview line" followed (I believe you understand what I mean).

I never got funding or support, but at the same time, I'd be careful on whatever I'd say. All the same, I don't see myself applying for it again, not even in the nearest future. I have already gotten the experience, it has already put me on my feet.

For someone planning to register this year, I'd leave you to make your choice, but I'd say you shouldn't expect too much, don't put all hopes there.

Things I benefited from applying;
1. It made me increase my pace. The quest to meet up deadlines and also win, made me put in more work than I'd have done normally.

2. It made me register a limited liability company at a time I could have kept on with procrastination.

3. It made me come up with a concrete business plan and blueprint.

4. I was able to assess myself by myself on how far I've gone.

5. It prepared my mind towards other grants and their realities.

All the work I put in to win AYEEN Grant, was what formed the basis of my readiness and understanding, which I used to scale through in The Tony Elumelu Foundation's Entrepreneurship Grant.

Note: All the things mentioned above, are things I did personally without any aid or fund from AYEEN or any other party. The zeal to scale through in AYEEN was only the motivation behind the milestones.

My observation on grants in this part of the world; the realest of the all is Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Programme.

Questionnaire72:
Thanks for all comments and replies; guys. I have always been suspicious of this "TEF foundation" in quote. You know why? I would tell you why right now;
1. TEF foundation received 216, 000+ applications this year. My guy tell me how many people are in their selection committee. That they would have the time to specially look into each application one by one. TEF moderators are no computers. They are humans remember and can get tired or frustrated
2. Each application contains an average of 3, 000+ words (not letters). Those that applied this year, know what I am saying. Things can get confusing (and messy) when deciding who not to eliminate and who not to select. When you have two different applicants with slightly similar ideas

FIRSTLY LET ME BEGIN BY SAYING THE FOLLOWING. NIGERIANS LIKE TO DO THINGS FOR THE SAKE OF DOING THEM. WITHOUT KNOWING THE REAL PURPOSE BEHIND IT. A FRIEND MIGHT SAY HE WANTS TO ADVICE YOU THEN HE WILL START CRITICIZING AND INSULTING YOU. ALL IN THE NAME OF ADVICE. SUCH AN ADVICE IS NO ADVICE. IT WILL PASS THROUGH ONE EAR AND GO THROUGH THE OTHER

If I ever had an opportunity to meet Tony Elumelu I will ask him the following;
"Good morning sir. Mr Tony Elumelu is your foundation living up to expectations? Mr Tony Elumelu you say the aim of your foundation is to "grow africa's economy". And to my understanding to possibly eradicate poverty and unemployment in africa. Mr Tony Elumelu sir if that is the case how many thousands of jobs have your past alumni suceeded in creating? Or have you simply succeeded in turning the TEF entrepreneurship programme into a ceremonial way of giving out money just like Santa Claus simply for the sake of doing so? Without bothering to tackle the problem of unemployment?"
You are still speaking so much grammar; grammar you don't comprehend.

Apart from how the internal structure of TEF operates, you still lag behind in terms of basic knowledge of TEF, at least, for a "supposed" applicant.

You're questioning the ability to scrutinize 216K+ applications? Common! Are you for real? At this age and time? Maybe you should equally question how Jamb manages database of over 1.5m candidates, or how a recruiter manages applications. Common sense should tell you that there are softwares that aid in several things. Moreover, TEF screening is stage by stage.

You are just pained, but if I were you, I wouldn't handle it this way. The time you spend crying fowl, you would have spent it improving your idea(s) and work towards TEF2020. A lot of other unsuccessful applicants are back to their drawing board, some have sought for the applications of those that were selected, so as to study and compare and you're here wallowing in grief on Nairaland.

For the uptempth time, cheer up! Encourage yourself, work on your application again, try to check where you got it wrong and improve on it, while anticipating next year. If you don't mind, I'd be willing to give you every guide or information I at least know I can.

Cheers!

Questionnaire72:
I submitted only one application. I also read the rules before playing (i.e before applying). Let us call a spade a spade!! We have seen those nollywood movies where a godfather somewhere, will have his own special candidates. That must be given vacancies in this type of thing
You still don't sound like someone who read all the rules like you claim. You're here talking of Nollywood, when it's reality dawning.

Believe whatever you want, it's your opinion. Personally, I was selected. I didn't know any godfather, I only played by the rules of the foundation; did a nice presentation of my business and prayed to God the Father.

I encourage you not to bad-mouth a scheme like TEF. Rather, buckle up, do your checks and balances, and have a bigger and better comeback next year.

Cheers!

You're funny with your assertions.

I want to believe that this is from an aggrieved fellow, hence, it lacks all forms of objectivity.

I wouldn't want to go down to point out so many things to you, but just know that you got it wrong from the beginning. This is it;

Firstly, TEF warns seriously against submitting more than one application. They always point it out that those who submit more than one application, in one way or the other would always be found out and disqualified. So you alone submitting more than one application is wrong and as such you're worthy of disqualification.

Secondly, TEF targets businesses that are profit-oriented.

Some of the parameters, according to the foundation, used for selecting shortlisted applicants include;

1. Feasibility
2. Market Opportunity
3. Scalability
4. Leadership Skill
5. Viability of the idea.

So instead of badmouthing a swift process and organization, go back to the drawing board and make adjustments, prepare for next year too.

BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by cardiorap: 3:13pm On Oct 15, 2018
SoapMactavish:
Hello guys, I'm new here and I need information. Okay, I just got a new car and I want to drive on UBER. My last drivers licence is the old type, it got expired and I didn't bother renewing it because I didn't own a car of my own until now.

So I went to the road safety office today and I was told I couldn't renew a licence of the old system, I was told the record is not in the database. They insisted I had to get a new one and the protocol now is that I have to go for 26 working day practice or sumthn like that. They charged me extra 10k just so I won't bother going for the practice thing, so instead of paying 15k for 5yr licence, I paid 25k. But I still have to wait for 26 working days....gosh. The problem now is, I was hoping to register my car ASAP and I don't know if uber would accept the temporary note that was issued to exempt me while driving within Lagos.
The information you're requesting is like medicine after death, it will change nothing, but only make you know more.

First of all, they lied to you.

It's even easier to renew a license than to apply for a new one. All you needed to have done was login to FRSC portal and apply for a renewal using your Driver's Licence Application Number. You wouldn't have spent more than 10K because you can make the payments using your Debit Card directly on FRSC portal, and you'll only choose if you want data capture or not, and also choose your point of collection.

The thing is that FRSC has what's called Driving School Standardization Programme (DSSP) where all driving schools have a login and create accounts for all the students they enroll. It takes a minimum of 26 days for a student to finish any driving course and 26 days after registering students by driving schools on FRSC portal, it's assumed they've learnt properly how to drive and FRSC generates certificate for the student, which is printed by the driving school. The Certificate carries a number which is what FRSC uses to confirm that someone has been properly trained, while applying for a new Licence.

What those guys at the office do is to pay operators of driving school, for instance, part of the 10K you paid them and they'll create an account in your name, as their student on FRSC portal, 26 days later, your certificate becomes ready and you can then start a formal application, thereafter, data capture.

Renewing a licence doesn't demand all these process. They only played a smart one on you, so you can pay more and they'll make money off you. There is no language as your details not being on database, except, maybe the licence is a licence you did twenty years ago or it wasn't a genuine licence from FRSC.

Also, the official 5years licence costs less than 15K, it should be 11K and some fractions or even lesser.

Car TalkRe: Your First Driving Lessons by cardiorap: 1:15am On Aug 06, 2018
Lol... Funny stories.

My first experience was when I turned 15. I have always been a lover of cars and driving, at 13 as a complete Akwa Ibom man that always visited the village, I had started riding motorcycle, so I understood gear selection perfectly. All I needed to know was my mum explaining the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and R symbols in 5 minutes.

After I turned 15, one particular day, my dad's driver said he was stopping work that day, dad told his boy to rev the engine, that's how I entered and started moving front and backwards till my dad came and scolded me.

Six months later, I was done with secondary school, I went to stay for sometime with my favourite uncle who was a mechanic, since he wasn't married then and living alone, I used to follow him to the workshop where he'll pamper me and always leave car keys and other things with me, whenever he's going to Ikoku to buy parts.

Whenever he's out and his boys or other mechanics need to drive out or park, and one of the cars blocking is the one he left the keys with me, I'd use 'open eye' and want to park. Not until one day, I drove a rover and I don't know how I missed controls and I found myself in between two cars in a manner I can't open doors or come out, I was so tensed and my legs shaking. It was one of his boys that helped me.

Ever since that time, I've become a pro!
