Let's even assume it's true. The money is not yours. The worst you can do as a Christian is to deduct your 30k and return the rest to the owner.

True

This lady got the kind of blessing anyone could ask for in such a season lol.

Would you return this money or what would you do?

I like that ADC boy, he knows his stuff. I have observed him all along, na talent.

So have u gotten it now? What’s ur assessment?

Trust me bro, they still haven't delivered. I am ready for them tomorrow. I don load my phone up with credit, God help the customer service person whey go pick my call. I really don't know what's keeping them so long.

The phone is still working fine so far right?

ray48:
Got the phone today from Slot. They have gone back to their previous price of N32k. Opened it, put the SIM card and charged it. So far so good. No problem of lagging. Every thing so far is working seamlessly.

As of today I am still awaiting my order. You are in Lagos right? I don't know why it is taking them so long to get the goods down to Ibadan.

I don't know about durability but the specs are good for 16K.

I had a hands on with the phone some months ago, the display is very reminiscent of the Tecno M7 from way back, the default skin is from the old android Kitkat icons even though it's running on Marshmallow, the colors are a bit on the cool side(i'm not sure whether it was faded because the screen of the one i saw was really scratched or that's how it comes. Lastly, huge black bars(Like the Infinix Note 2) I hate those.

Design wise, the phone is really light in the hand. The one i saw was grey but it was more like a faded black dual tone plastic body. Dual tone as in the color of the front doesn't match the back and sides, if i remember correctly. The white and gold one prolly looks nicer(going by pictures/videos)

The camera is nothing to write home about, everyone would know you're using a very low budget phone on social media.

In conclusion, i wanted to like something about this phone because it's "made in Nigeria" but for the price point(30K+), i didn't have anything good to say about it. It even looks A LOT cheaper than the Itel 1505 i got for someone as a gift.

I think you should probably hold out for the Gravity Z2 if you must buy a "Nigerian made" phone, they might get it right the second time.

Thanks a lot sir.

Slot black Friday is the greatest scam. Can you believe that their website for the black Friday page is not opening?. The app is misbehaving today as if it's a deliberate move by slot. Black Friday in Nigeria is a SCAM

I was almost frustrated myself, but I pulled through eventually. I believe it is the unusual traffic they experienced today that brought the site to a low ebb of performance. I made away with the AfriOne Gravity Z1 phone for 16k; it sells for 33k normally.

Hi.

I have scoured the internet bright and clean through and through for a review from users of the the 'Made In Nigeria' Gravity Z1 from the AfriOne company. All I have gotten so far from Tech dedicated Blogs, YouTube, and other strange Google provided links are just basically specifications and price range (which aren't bad at all), un-boxing videos, and what I like to call 'Blind Reviews'.

It almost feels like no one's bought it for use, or perhaps they just are enjoying it so much they rarely have the time to put up a review online (insert sarcasm word here).

I, therefore, have to use a last resort I have in my virtual arsenal, Nairaland. By 'User Review' I mean tell me if the battery actually lives up to its 3000maH it packs, if it heats up easily, how frequently it freezes if at all and related layman gist.

If you have used this phone in the limelight of this post, or have had a friend, family, colleague, close associate (include Bae in this category), or friend of friend who have, please kindly give a 'User Review'.

Tainzalot!

When we say "vanity upon vanity" nor be joke. This pictures backs up this line. If you owned these 'settie' as it is colloquially referred to, way back here in Nigeria, you're a. big boy.

Imagine your room looks like this in this present day. All those P whey you de set nor go de set again, only the television don reach to scatter the P, turn am to Q.

But e still make sense shaa to me, but I nor pray to do am at all, even if I nor be soft boy at the moment.

A tale of the violent take it by force lmao

This is on the lightest mood possible. Break the ice a little bit... lol

Whoever did this has totally lost his sense of chills hehehe

For me it's a total miss.

But I appreciate the resourcefulness hehehe

Somewhere in China, someone is disturbing innocent employees of an auto firm. I just can't understand. I don't even know if this is in the right section here on Nairaland.

Report says;

"A man brought over 100,000 coins to buy SUV in central China’s Henan province on November 24.

The man who owns a flour shop in Zhengzhou city in Henan province said he accumulated the coins without realizing there would be problem to change them into notes.

He tried to contact local bank for changing the coins to notes but was refused. He then brought the coins to the car store and asked if he could pay the car using coins.

The sales staff agreed and was later appalled by the amount of coins the man brought. It took four sales staff a total of 12 hours to finish counting."

I have just a question, what the hell was he thinking?!

This comes after a Nigerian gave Shoprite a taste of their own pills, by paying for goods bought with the coins they always gave him as change. The video went viral online a fortnight ago.

Just for information purpose that's Benny Harlem. I personally call him 'Hair Lord'

His daughter has the same. The apple never really falls far from the tree.

Goodluck!!

Cont'd...

Now to the young man's story...

ALSO

Another social commentator gave his two cents on the same issue. I'll share this screen shot from Instagram first. The comment is the lengthy last one of course.

Then I'll share the story—in screen shot as well from Twitter—of the young man who alleges he stays in the street and lost his brother to the said miscreants, as seen in his story.

At first I felt so bad, as I do not support jungle justice, let alone having it meted out on a minor.

As I type now I really do not know what to feel anymore on this.

Please Read On...

Brain is juss starting to ache me!!

IRobot7:
It doesn't mean that they bleep one another. I have seen such in many families. Moreover, take a closer look at the picture and you would see a striking resemblance between the two girls. I think the guy is their brother.

I see your stance. I can be weird, crazy... but you know maybe I'm not psychologically equipped for the slightest on family physical intimacy. I mean the slightest...

Vizzim:
Wonder whose daughters and son is that. Trying end time things in this end time world.

Sweet Mother Of Jesus, Pray for us

IRobot7:

The moment I saw this on Facebook I couldn't comprehend. Azin I wuz nor understanding atall atall...

Can Someone please explain... lmao

I don't know if this is the right section to put this. I didn't want to put it in Jokes, cause it is as funny as it can serious.

In this Buhari regime, what sha wee nor see finish?!

My brain is paining me just trying to read the captions. Christ!!

This is why Ghanaians have no chill at all. Lmao

According to a study (that nobody actually made lol), the only warning Nigerians take seriously is LOW BATTERY!!

Not even the end time warning can compare lol

I lie?!

I am in a fix here.

I just go a second hand Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime. The only issue it has is battery draining (fluke charging isn't left out). The 2,600mAh battery drains like mad. I talked to a Phone techie and he stalk about rooting it to help save battery.

Please techies in the house, EPP me. Should I go ahead and root or just get a new battery?

Thanks in advance.

As for me, I pick she see her great granmama and granpapa ghost de watch telemundo fo her palour...

abi guys wetin una think?

Chai...

I didn't write this. A concerned Nigerian Youth did. You would see as you read through till the end how the real CHANGE actually works.

This has no political affiliations whatsoever. Enjoy the article after the cut.

NIGERIA, FUEL SCARCITY AND MY ORDEAL WITH SPIDERWOMAN

It was 5:30am and I was already on the queue. This is Ibadan so being out this early meant something serious was up.

The time crept away rather too slowly. One hour became 2 and then 3 hours all gone with some Ibadan side attractions, better than the scenes from many Nollywood movies. We were not moving, we were waiting; waiting for our heroes – the fuel attendants.

And so they came in, in slow motion, like Spiderman coming to save Mary Jane; but this time, they were Spiderwomen coming to save our fuel tanks from the abyss of emptiness. The fracas of the previous night continued as everyone struggled to get in.

Then there was the first anomaly of the day. As I drove into the filling station and took my place, some young men approached asking for “queue money”. No! They did not beg for it, they demanded. “Oga owo wa da”, one shouted. With an insincere smile that carried with it so much derision, I brought out “their” N100 and acceded to their demand. Everyone there had accepted this inevitable evil so I had no choice than to oblige.

But there was even more to come. As it got to my turn to fill my tank with this golden commodity from yonder, the fuel attendant – my Spiderwoman – with a stern voice, a straight face and an Ibadan accent, demanded that I part with an additional N200 irrespective of the volume of fuel I buy. Of course she felt justified because they sold at the normal price. The man before me had tried to protest but met with a hostile response. “If you no fit pay, make you go buy from people wey dey sell for N180 per liter. Una no dey appreciate”.

So I too had to “appreciate”.

I was exploited but this time, neither Buhari nor Kachikwu are to blame. It was not about the little money involved but about the principle behind it. We are always swift to castigate the government but we look away from our own many ills. We forget that our leaders are a reflection of we the people – they come from within us. We
exploit those beneath us, we vandalize public properties, we throw wastes on the streets, we fail to pay our taxes, we disobey traffic laws; and yet we rant about how much the government has failed us. No! We have all failed ourselves.

I believe the real change will have to start from us. We have waited too long for our leaders to change all to no avail so I have given up on them. We may not be able to change our leaders but we can change ourselves as most of us are leaders in different capacities.

So just in case you are the next Spiderman or Spiderwoman, kindly save Mary Jane without exploiting her - that is the beginning of true change.
