Hello there, It all depends on the architecture of the processor, it's Cache and speed. For instance, are you looking to get an Intel at 2.3 GHZ or AMD with 4 cores at 3.0 GHZ and so on? In this current era, I strongly advise you opt for the Intel i Core (i3, i5, or i7) model for top performance. |
fratermathy:I'm not sure if the OP is simply playing devil's advocate or just very unintelligent (My apologies though). I mean, the OP first made a comment about an individuals accent, then went on to indicate the grammatical error made by the same individual and finally asks the question, why do men woo ladies using English? Doesn't make much sense at all. In a country of over 170 million people from different regions, tribes and ethnicity, anyone still asking why one person speaks English to another person must be brain dead. How is a Yoruba man suppose to communicate with a Hausa woman? In Igbo? What is the big deal or problem if two Nigerians decide to talk in English? A language which happens to be our official language by the way. What if the guy and the lady in question are both from different ethnicity? Did you (OP) consider this before coming on here to post such pointless topic? Speaking English doesn't make you or anyone more civilized, modern or more intelligent than another individual, it's just for form of verbal communication. There's absolutely no need to be intimidated (OP). |
VomeSchakleton:The weather is responsible for our backwardness? One thing or possibly the only thing Africans are good at is playing the blame game. I mean, can you imagine? The weather? What about Australia and New Zealand? What about South Africa built by the Europeans? What about Nigeria that was initially developed by the English colonialists? Brazil? Panama? In Europe people get sick also, ever heard of influenza? The flu? Half of Europe was blown to oblivion during the second world war, with millions killed both by war, hunger and diseases, and yet today, they are way ahead of us. Stop giving excuses for failure, ignorance and stupidity, I'm very certain you blame the government for the problem in Nigeria, forgetting it is people like you who elected these undesirables into office, trading of your votes for a bowl of soup, religious and tribal bigotry. |
megareal:The traditional rulers in Nigeria you all look up to and trust, are responsible for trading off blacks as slaves to the Europeans. Also, before colonization, we never lived in peace with each other, from inter-tribal wars to human sacrifices and invading other people's land to capture slaves. Honestly, if you knew the history of your people, you will definitely have a change of heart. Today, no one is forcing your people to embrace western civilization, no colonization, no slavery and yet nothing to show for, over 80% in the nation suffering. We are the cause of our own problems and only Nigerians can solve the problem. Firstly, we must accept and own up to our mistakes and learn from it, else, there will be no way forward. We constantly keep making the wrong choices even though the right one stares us in the face everyday. We do everything half arsed and constantly seek the short cut route. In 2016, an oil producing nation cannot generate constant electricity for even 3 straight days while a nation like Latvia can, with absolutely no oil. Are we so unintelligent to see there's a problem with this? If you have read up to this point and you are Nigerian or African, I kindly ask you, is this how you want to live your life? Is this the life you desire for your children? Do you still think we as a people don't have a fundamental problem? No matter the answer, one thing is certain, wrong is wrong and right is right. |
Gift101:An intelligent or brilliant student who fails to graduate from the university (Ever!), is either from a poor home with very little funding to complete such studies or that student is simply not intelligent!! End of discussion. '' I'm a mathematician, a very good one and yet I can't solve any quadratic equation, hmm, it must be spiritual'' . |
musicwriter:A Language is nothing more than a means of communication. I really don't know why Africans are so emotional, you all have finally derailed this thread, however, I will indulge you. Going by your weird sense of logic, poor infrastructural development, poor road networks, a failing economy, and poor education are to be blamed on having English as an official language? Don't ever compare English with any native Nigerian language because it is far advanced and more developed than ours, not because it's a language of the Englishman or should I say, the white man but because it was developed by the native speakers, in all areas of society. Now tell me, what areas in Economics, Politics, science and technology can our native languages be used for? Again, no country in the world has ever industrialized speaking a foreign language - Have you ever heard of the following countries: 1. The U.S.A? A former British colony now occupied by migrant Europeans, Ex African slaves, Mexicans, and Native Americans. They all speak English as the official language and they are one of the most developed in the world. 2. Brazil? A former Portuguese colony occupied by the Natives, Mulatos, Africans and others. They all speak Portuguese! 3. Mexico? An Ex Spanish colony previously controlled by the Aztecs and other natives just before the Spanish arrived. These are just a few examples, but keep in mind, they are way developed than we are. Now let's mention countries which speak their native languages as the official mode of communication. Somalia, Tanzania, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Philippines, Myanmar, Oman, e.t.c. Why aren't they developed with a prospering economy? The answer is simple, the language you speak does not determine or guarantee your intellectual ability or a nation's development in any areas of civilization. A nation can only move forward and develop itself if it's citizens are committed, patriotic and have the right mindset to prosper. |
greatpablo:Yes! In most cases, it can't be fixed, and even if it does, it will fail again. Am sorry but at this point, it's best you buy a new one, "Seagate" to be precise. The sounds you hear are from the magnetic tape inside, trying to spin and read properly. Remember to always keep your Hard drive in a hard disk enclosure, this protects it from dust and other environmental elements. Am sorry I couldn't offer much assistance. |
erico2k2:Hi again, unfortunately, that's not the case. In fact, the mentioned ''Ogas at the top" are the politicians of the states in the Niger Delta region. It is impossible, I mean, absolutely impossible for a state government allocation to be shared by or with another different state. It's like saying Lagos state politicians are embezzling government funds from say Rivers state, that's impossible. Tinubu has nothing to do with the problems of the Niger Delta, no need blaming others for the problems of the Niger Delta. It is the same state governor who loot's from his state before then sharing with his so-called 'God father's'',so why blame others? If the state governor's do what they are supposed to do for their state's, we will not be having this argument in the first place. The pipeline vandals, state government crook's and all corrupt officials in the Niger Delta are from the Niger Delta. |
greenalwaz:Hello there, do not uninstall Java, it is very important for the smooth operation of your browsers and web Apps. Slow browser problems are often due to excess browser cache, cookies, and other temporary internet files. Another cause could be a malware gotten from visiting deceptive websites, in this case, the best option is a Windows reinstallation. Firstly, let's try to clean out browser data and free up memory on your device. On your browser (Chrome), go to Settings> show advanced settings>Privacy / Clear browsing data. Select all boxes and choose "From the beginning of time" from the drop-down list. Do this for all your browsers and hopefully, they should begin to work faster. |
greatpablo:Hello there, in situations like this, two things are involved. The Hard drive is either damaged or it's connector (USB or SATA) is faulty, your computer can simply not detect it anymore. Please try testing the mentioned Hard drive on another computer or Laptop and let me know if you observe any changes. Also, I need to know the manufacturer of your hard disk drive. |
erico2k2:It goes to the Niger Delta region 100%, or at least to the leaders of that region. What happens to the funds after that is not the concern of the Federal Government, if the leaders choose to pocket it and toss out 200 Naira notes at masses for re-election and other miscellaneous activities, then so be it. If the Niger Delta people can't fight for their right in their own region, what makes you think things will get better when they separate? We both know the answer to that, I advise that you keep an open mind to every situation, sentiments never helped anyone. |
apache77:There is something fundamentally wrong with being Nigerian. A back man now has to apologize for speaking or trying to speak proper English? How does speaking proper English (Pseudo American, British or even plain old good English) make a black man less than a European or higher than an African? What most people don't understand yet is that people who nag about inferiority complex are actually those who suffer from it. After all, if you feel intimidated by someone who sounds more intelligent than you, then you are in fact inferior. Thing is, most folks on here insulting the so called "fake accent Nigerians" will be the first to switch accent at the port of entry of any foreign Airport, yes! I've seen it over and over again. Most will speak proper English in the presence of Europeans (or anyone of a lighter skin tone) and then switch to improper English when talking with other Nigerians, does that make sense to anyone on here? The reason Nigerians have an accent is because of the language interference, and it's okay, there's nothing wrong with it and there's nothing wrong with trying to speak good English. For heaven's sake, English is not our native language, no shame in having an accent or trying to improve on it, no man should ever be apologetic for trying to develop himself. Nigerians spend hard currency just to take the IELTS, TOFEL and other such exams, simply because we fail to speak proper English, then after getting a great score in these exams, we still go back to speaking improper English? Does that make any sense? Listen to and watch the video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGSRa6KE_rg That's a Gowon in the army in 1970, 1970 for heaven's sake (Note, Army officers didn't even attend universities then and now). There's a reason we are where we are as a country today. |
@OP I feel your pain, I really do but I assure you, the only problem of Nigeria, are the Nigerians. Forget about the politicians, they are a direct reflection of the people. I really appreciate the gesture of the people offering stipends (If true) to people they don't even know, however tomorrow, after spending this cash, the same benefactors will turn against one another due to tribalism and religious bigotry. This thread has now been hijacked by beggars, yes!! Able bodied Nigerians, who can afford to buy phones and data package, to be able to use this same thread and yet they still complain about Nigeria. As a previous poster said, after the 5,000 Naira, what next? I mean, what next!!!! This is the difference between Europeans and Africans. Africans think of Now (what can i gain now), that is, the present, while his European counterpart thinks of the future. Some folks will definitely come at me saying shut up, mind your business if you have nothing to offer but I promise them, the situation will not change, it never will. Some folks are even trying to scam the good Samaritans, disguising with multiple accounts and aliases, this is the mindset of the average Nigerian, so corrupt!!! In any case, I thank the good Samaritans and hope that one day, Nigerians will hold hands together and fight for freedom instead of hiding behind religion and tribalism. Goodnight! |
dabossman:Can you read? Look up spy in the dictionary. If you want to abbreviate a word, you make use of ''.'' or a simple ''.'' at the end to indicate you want to make a word short. The uniform says SPY, not S.P.Y or SPY(e.g police Dept.) . ''Idiots leading idiots'' |
This makes no sense, what's the point of being a spy if you can be easily identified? I mean this is just so silly, the damn uniform got ''Spy'' stamped all over it. Nigeria is a fu#king joke. The uniform says SPY and not S.P.Y. They can't even get that right. |
6digitscomrade:The way you type shows you are filled with anger, because the savage/aggresive part of your brain represents 75% of the mass in your head. In fact, you are the missing link between Man and Ape, even with all the freedom and western civilization you have been giving, you are still sub-human. Go on, tell us what you are so proud of for being black. Even the English people who have given you almost everything in life don't brag about white and proud. Go and develop yourself oh dumb one, put down the techno phone , put down the bible, let go of your inferior way of life and embrace Civilization. I expect nothing more than insults as reply from you, i know how your mind works . Black Monkey. |
6digitscomrade:Oh dear! What is this silly black typing? Go and develop yourself and quit wasting your little data, in fact i am surprised you can even read and write, talk less use a mobile device. I really hope you don't have children, we already have enough idiots like you in Africa. Go back and read my original post, everything typed there is 100% true and you are a perfect example. Foolish black, became a slave and christian at the same time, black and proud my foot. ''Someone once said, if you want to hide something from a black man, put it into writing'' |
Millz404:This is definitely a software issue then. What is the model of your Network card? You will have to update the drivers for your WiFi card from the manufacturer's website, restart your OS and it should be working fine. Make sure the WiFi is turned on when updating the drivers. |
6digitscomrade:Even a monkey can be better trained than you. No composure, no self awareness, no logic. Nothing but an empty shell, eating, shitting and reproducing idiots as children. Wake up you lazy black and go develop yourself. Black and proud indeed. Goes on his knees, in his English man clothes and worships the English man Christ, begging for salvation while at the same time claiming to be pro African. Talk about confusion and complex. |
Millz404:Permanently off? There should be a hotkey on you keyboard which can turn it back on, you hold down the Fn (function key) and press the WiFi hotkey and that's it. Could you please elaborate more on why the WiFi isn't working, that is, what happened? |
6digitscomrade:Imagine the response, just another proof that we have much more imbeciles in our race than any other race out there. People like this are the ones we need to purge out of our race, they are in fact the undesirables. He cannot even compose himself, can't even read nor write properly, in 2016 for heaven's sake, how then can we progress as a race. The worst thing is, idiots like this breed in mass numbers, thereby increasing the number of idiots we already have. Oh Africa ! |
ultimate77:Please consider buying a new charger for your Notebook, that should cost less than 5000 naira i think, not sure how things cost over there. Another thing to consider also is the battery, might wanna change that also. Change both and am sure the Notebook will be as good as new. |
Millz404:The problem you described will occur again at some point until the screen finally blacks out. There is a problem with the flex of your laptop. Inside the flex is a cable connector which connects the motherboard to the screen, and this cable transmits information from your motherboard and displays it on the screen. I recommend you take your Laptop to a service man and have the cable changed to a new one, it won't cost much. |
chiddyok:This same traditional chiefs, kings and whatever you blacks look up to and worship, are the very same people (descendants) who sold fellow Africans as slave to the Europeans and Arabs. '' is the black race an inferior race? Maybe, maybe not, but the black race is definitely not a superior race'' |
mandax:Answer the questions asked before, do you have any idea what 18 or 16% of billions of dollars can do? Especially in a country with a low standard of living? Billions of dollars received for over 20 years or so, what does the ND have to show? Before oil discovery , we still progressed as a Nation, besides without this same FG initiative, the oil would have never been discovered. Are you from the ND? Off course not, only someone from the ND will understand the point am trying to make. It might come to a suprise to you, most projects in most states in Nigeria are privately financed, even your life is privately financed by yourself , afterall you don't receive a penny from the oil revenue. Where has all the $ gone? |
mandax:The Niger-Delta gets 18% or more of the oil revenue, and that translates into billions of Dollars yearly (past and present). What does the Niger-Delta have to show for all those earnings? Where did all the money go to? No development, no proper infrastruture , education lower than ever, illegal refineries , workers paid late e.t.c. Would 100% resource control make any difference? Well I guess we all know the answer to that. |
InyinyaAgbaOku:The display of stupidity continues, oh dear! You are in trouble today, i can imagine you right now, in your torn vest and torn underwear, in your small flat (in the SW off course), using a forum owned by a person from the SW, hmmmm! Already seeing the irony yet? As you go out to your shop (Demolition coming soon) this afternoon, take a good look at the names of the streets, the language the people speak, their way of life and bam!!! Reality hits you, no matter how hard you try, you will never measure up to people from the SW. The only voice you have in this life is here on NL, after that, you are nothing more than a coward and a weakling. Go back home if you don't like us, hehehe! |
InyinyaAgbaOku:Yet to bring facts?? Oh my lord, you actually believe Lagos is not a SW region? Talk of unintelligence and self delusion, hahaha! I can now see you don't even have a high school certificate, such a very poor troll attempt, and oh, you are living in a SW region right now. Stick to selling China made clothes (in the SW) and stop involving yourself with issues far above your level of reasoning, you black biafran monkey. |
InyinyaAgbaOku:Shake your head out of the SW and go back to your Eastern enclave. You have very little to reply with because you are unintelligent and tremble in the face of Facts and Truths. You were born without dignity and grew up to be a man without honor, that's why you have no respect for your hosts. Read my signature, embrace it, abide by it and all will be well with you hopefully. |
InyinyaAgbaOku:Lagos has always been and will always be a Yoruba State. Lagos was founded and used by the Oyo empire as a trading post, at that same time your people were still walking half naked in the SE bushes. The names of the streets, language, way of life and people are Yoruba. Fool yourself all you want but rest assured, the pot is boiling and soon ya'll will be marched out back to the SE, it's already started btw. Ogun is fast meeting up with Lagos, however am certain in the next 10 years, you will also claim it was developed by everyone. Give it a rest already, stay calm and benefit from the SW. Only a SE person would come into your home, beg for food and then later spit in your face. Jealousy, envy and hate has never gotten anyone anywhere, don't believe? Take a good look at your region. I am not an ethnic bigot but if you make crude remarks at my people, i will strike back!! We will strike back !!! |
mekaboy:If you believe you are trully the son of your father, write Lagos is a no man's land on a huge cardboard, go out on the streets of Ikeja and hold it above your head and see if you live through the day. Hehehehe! Coward hiding on a faceless forum. |
iflywithbuhari:The people from your state are being killed like Wild Game, soon your family will be killed also and yet all you can think about is people from the SW? People you cannot survive without? Critical thinking is alien to your brain. Soon we will have a repeat of the pogroms in the North, then 1967 all over again and the victims will be? You already know . Stop involving yourself with issuses far above your reasoning, stick to selling china made jeans. |
. Black Monkey.
looking for who to pick on?well i deal with ur kinds everyday..if fools need a king ,they need not search further..u are the king of fools..and now am convinced that ur brain has divorced u..u dont knw where u belong..if u think we blacks are lazy,and inferior
