EventsLook Out! Black Friday Is Just So Near. by Cirphrank(op):
Jumia is at it again dear, in reference to their post about Black Friday on their blog one can say they're fully set for the 'horrific' day.

Yes, the number of buyers that would be on the site on that day would be horrific as mass would battle for "few" products compared to people available with massive discount, some going down up to about 90 whooping percent.

Image By Jumia: https://static./cms/_dele/w46/bf_teasing_mobile_01_updated.jpg

November 27 is the day and according to them "Looking for the best Black Friday deals? Simply come to our online shop, where you will be spoilt for choice."


They'll be offering products ranging from fashion clothing, mobile phones, tablets, electronics, home appliances and more on that day for pocket hugging prices, lol. You sure don't want to miss out! Get your gadgets charged! Get an active dataplan! and be ready to exercise your fingers! Good luck, meanwhile me and my Niggax will be praying and fasting that the incoming injoo device falls victim

PhonesAirtel Cheapest Data Plan Ever! 1GB For 100 Naira Only by Cirphrank(op): 10:55pm On Nov 08, 2015
https://www.careersinafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2013/07/airtel.jpg

No long talk, I just want to make this a brief one.

Dear AIRTEL users, AIRTEL Nigeria has just introduced weekend data bundle capped at 1024mb (1gb) for just an insanely cheap price of #100 only.

To activate;
Dial *474*1# .

To check data;
Dial *140# .

Albeit, there is a condition, just like they say: "Terms and conditions apply"

Condition:
It can be used only on
weekends (Friday - Sunday).

I just subscribed now with #100 and I was given 1gb to expire 14/11/2015. That means I can use it today (Sunday) and Saturday next week.
You can now download whatever you want to
download and stream online.
Thanks to Airtel.

Even with the restriction it's still cool, their network is good and once again that price is just insane. #share

Point of correction, I am not a dude.



It seems you haven't use high end Chipset and well optimised ROM. Get a phone with Snapdragon 808 and above with MIUI 6 or 7 or Flyme OS come back and drop your testimony.

If you can get a phone with high end Chipset, 1 or 2GB RAM, well optimised ROM and 2500 - 3000mAh you're good to go. Mind you new Chipset are always designed to consume less power than old ones.


A phone with 4GB ram and those Chipset Tecno do use will still lag when you multi task it.

My phone running MIUI 7 Kit kat gives me almost same features with Lollipop and also ones not available in stock Lollipop.

To me, I consider mainly Chipset and ROM before other things.


Too sad, many do not know the function of Chipset and ROM, what they're after is big ram and battery.


Last bullet, what I need a superb performance.



#Xiaomi
#MIUI
Bros no lie o, u b girl??. Meanwhile now I get, all these Xiaomi peeps. Heavy users with High end assets or rather gadgets, but hey you are forgetting the post is for starters! And between you and your mind, you know battery optimisation is not really of a desired quality yet on High chipsets through.

I do not agree with you. my tab is 3000mah. and the battery don't last even upto 5hours on 2g usages. I am very economical to with power. without power you can't even your phone.

Chipset and ROM should be the main koko.


Forget paper spec.
ROMhuh ROM over RAM? are you kidding me? dude the least ROM can't even hold a phone with good RAM down to bad performance! ROMs for smartphones always come with ability to be expanded to at least 32GB most times. So what's your contempt with that?

And chipset?
First off, are you a Heavy Gamer?
If yes then I understand your plight.
No? then you are just after what will be of almost no use to you. Even old form of chipset can satisfy an average phone user! Even a single core processor clocking at 1GHz can please many out there. Do you know you might use a phone with dual core processors clocking at 1GHz and another with octa core processor clocking at 1.3GHz for six months and observe that non runs app faster than the other? OEMs have been playing on the ignorance of many, filling devices with multi processors and thus slamming high prices on them meanwhile most app out there available for use can only run itself on a single processor at a time, apps that can spread itself to run on multi processors at a time are rare and not even needed by many. The highest for of processor I'd prefer in a phone is quad core and it is not even really necessary! Know why most new phones get so hot easily and battery tend to drain fastly? e.g the infinix Zero 2, it's 'cos it has more processors to handle! and that is a battery killing task!
Higher GPU is same, I think I read even iPhone 6s plus had similar prob with a type of the model. Bottomline bro is, high chipset not needed if you ain't an heavy gamer with regular power supply in Nigeria!

the list is not complete without battery. I think battery mah should come first for we in this part of the world.
Not too many offer high capacity battery and would be of pocket loving price but with management you can make even a 1500mAh battery last pretty well. Using 2g which is quite fast with good network, reducing screen brightness and enabling power saving mode will make will help for instance itel it1406 charged up to 96% last about seven hours of near heavy use, that's quite okay in my view.

It can, after due processes, which will start with you rooting the phone.
PhonesTwo Things To Lookout For While Getting An Android Phone by Cirphrank(op): 2:22am On Nov 08, 2015
In this article I'll be highlighting two things that you should consider before purchasing an Android phone. 'Let's talk the talk'.

-RAM
Random Access Memory, it is a common term but many do not really understand its concept. Even for old model type of phones such as those that ran on the Symbian OS, RAM is a thing of essential value as it has its crucial use in a phone mostly Androids for which it is indispensable for the now and can't be overlooked.

I'm not about to hit you with geeky terms that will only confuse your understanding about RAM already, but let's put it this way: LOW RAM, SLOW MOVEMENTS.

When that Android you intend to buy comes with attractive features but has has low ram, those features are as useless as 10kb of internet surfing data is to instagram. RAM is temporary memory to which every app on your phone has access, they don't get to reside there or save their data there permanently but they can come have a stay there from time to time. Let's make out some instance. If you're editing a picture on your phone or you are making a video or an audio record, you are creating some data which is being handled by an app, however the app needs a something to lean on to run effectively and that's where our dear RAM comes in, it will take up the responsibility of that for the app until the app is through with the process and saves the data generated on the phone' ROM or Micro Storage Disk and closes. So the more the data being handled by the app the more the RAM needed, Get it? So RAM which helps the phone's movement has to come in a considerably okay quantity else movement gets hiccups easily 'cos if you buy that 'lovely' phone with like 512MB RAM, let me put it to you that once you open up to like 3 apps with even moderate size and they get to work, you'll start getting slow response from the device in no time, if you've been wondering why that techno M3 of yours or that Alcatel One touch you own runs only a bit faster than tortoise, I believe now you know. With low ram even if that your phone was to come with Android 6.0 marshmallow, 5.5" screen, and it has 256 0r 512 MB RAM, you'll eventually hate it. It will limit your multitasking options unbearably, and you might be wondering how can 3 quite mid sized app just eat up a whole 512MB RAM, answer is: If the phone is said to come with that RAM size you'll probably have only 256-340 at your disposal as the rest will be taking toll of by system apps, those apps that aren't for your use but needed to keep the phone's system running. The least RAM size I'd advice you go for is 1GB, when system apps are done taking their share, you'd be having nothing less than about 700MB at your disposal and that's pretty okay for multitasking though not GREAT.
Not too clear? Read this
https://s.hswstatic.com/gif/add-ram-laptop-2.jpg


The second thing one should not miss looking out for is the Version of Android OS the phone runs on. I'm not going to be writing much like I did on RAM on this.

-Android Operating System
Just like iPhones have their iOS which they run on so has Android phones. Version upgrades keep coming, and the old one is never better than the new one, they do make sure of that. Below is the list of android versions that has come into existence since they started getting confectionery codenames;

Donut (1.6)
Eclair (2.0–2.1)
Froyo (2.2–2.2.3)
Gingerbread (2.3–2.3.7)
Honeycomb (3.0–3.2.6) [a]
Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0–4.0.4)
Jelly Bean (4.1–4.3.1)
KitKat (4.4–4.4.4, 4.4W–4.4W.2)
Lollipop (5.0–5.1.1)
Marshmallow (6.0)

The reason why I brought you the list is for you to take a very good look at the strata, if you go for Ice Cream Sandwich don't expect to enjoy all those features you've seen that attracted you to the Android brand. The least Version I'd advice you to go for is KitKat, when a new version comes it comes with cool features and will be able to run the latest apps, most apps that will be built from then hence forth will be compatible only with the latest version and maybe the immediately preceding one or two and that's it. So you sure won't want to end up with a good looking phone running a medieval OS. I believe I've made things lucid on that.

https://cdn02.androidauthority.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Android-Versions.jpg


However, the above two are not the only things that are important for one to look out for, if you've got the legal tender, considerably much of it, it will be better you go for that with at least 16GB ROM or 8 but not 4, its processor should at least be dual core with both clocking at 1.2GHz, might be 1GHz though. But more processors means battery drains faster, 8MP camera with quality resolution is best for phones, greater MP is literally useless else you intend to print pics you take with the phones in large forms. And a host of others, permit me to give my fingers some rest now. Happy Droiding.

FamilyRe: My Horrible Experience When Living With A Relative. by Cirphrank(m): 10:22pm On Oct 24, 2015
MissAssy:
There are some experiences you don't wanna keep to yourself. Mine is what i experienced when i lived with my aunt and her children who are all older than me in 2006.Am gonna make this story as short as possible.Am not much of a writer so please bear with me and share your experiences too.

It started when i went for a vacation at their house in aba. I was 11yrs then and that made it easy for them to brainwash me with fake love using bleach and iron sponge. Well one day like that, my aunt gave me nd my cousin some chores to do and left for market, after i finished mine my cousin tried to cajole me to do hers so i refused but when she tried to drag me inside to beat me or something, my eyes hit the key lock.i thought i ws going to go blind because blood started gushing out of my left eye as if that was not enough she asked me to lie on how i got the accident and that was during the period of my vacation,i thought that was an accident and that such thing wont happen again cos they asked me to live with them which i agreed meanwhile my mom disagreed cos she was maltreated by her aunt when she was little on the other hand my dad agreed cos that is his sister. As time went on,they showed me their true colour.i go to school only 3times in a week except when we have exams.i do all the hard work in the house and they're never satisfied, as an 11yr old girl i fetch water with 25liters of gallon i bet that's why all my siblings are taller than me ,i wake up around 5 every morning to wash the plates, fetch water meanwhile i fetch water every night and the most painful part is that she have sons that can fetch water and am always late for school and am always the last to pay school fees, everyone knows me in school then, most of the time i wont eat breakfast before going to school and i will stay hungry till 4 with nothing in my tummy.i cry myself to sleep every night and they don't care, i hardly smile or laugh when am with them.school is my escape route cos i have a best friend then who buys things like food for me then and help pay for my textbooks then cos am always the last to pay for everything.If i ask her to give me money for a textbook worth 150 she will say she doesn't have meanwhile she will bring money in bundles and count in my presence our school then is a mixed school so i gained alot from boys,at a time our sp stopped punishing me for coming late.Her daughter sends me out at night to buy things for her and if i refuse i will get a beating.whenever my mum or dad visits me, they start treating me well and calling me by my short name which us Muanya instead of Chimuanya they usually blurt out.whenever they cook a new soup i will b the one to eat the old one and by the time i finish it, the new one will b old.when i was in jss2, my lil sis who was around 6 then came for a holiday so one day it rained so hard,u know aba nau with bad road and everything After the rain my aunt asked me to go and buy pepper so i bought dry pepper which they usually use, when i came back she asked me to go and change it that she needs fresh pepper so i told her that we have fresh pepper and she asked me to bring it, when i brought it, it turns out that the pepper has decayed with maggot the next thing i knew she poured the on my face and i didn't even know what i did to deserve that.i thought my heart was going to break,i couldn't even cry but when i turned and saw my lil sis crying, i couldn't hold back my own tears with my heart aching after i washed off the pepper on my face she still asked me to go and change the pepper and it was already dark then.These are just half of the things they did to me and the only thing i regret till now is never running away cos i know they would have alot to answer to everyone if i did.

Lalasticlala please push this for me
Mine was only 4 years of pretty hell, not with a relative but with a brother, believe it or not. well it ended with me speaking up one day in a mad manner, got beaten till I bled and I left for... abegi, long story, I see good life coming to me now though. #wish you success.

Why aren't we embracing our own brand of extension like it is obtainable in UK, Australia, South Africa etc?
- .com leads TLD names
- .com is way too cheaper than .ng
- .com.ng lengthens domain name, extend the syllables...
- .com pretty much is well reliable.
