Hello all,

I have always used Samsung phone and I am trying to get a new phone so I am trying to decide whether to continue with Samsung or try IPhone.

I am trying to get the new Samsung S23 Ultra or the IPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max.

Thoughts?

Thanks

mayemaye:
Both are really great phones forget benchmark scores and all that

My advice will be on the OS as I ve switched between both OS several times

Well consider these

If you transfer files alot like from pc to phone or using Bluetooth: stick with samsung cos with Iphone its stressful except you use a mac so you easily airdrop

You might want save your files to google including notes before you switch to ios

WhatsApp might not be easy to move to iphone

If you like modded or cracked APK then forget IOS

Check if your Watch or buds is IOS compatible else you might want to get new ones

Check if your fave apps are on IOS

Android is more flexible, less restrictions

But statistically speaking when Android users migrate to IOS they never come back (don't know if it's the iPhone status symbol, or maybe they were using low end Android device or if the IOS ecosystem thats responsible for this lol)

Apple thrives well in an ecosystem.

If you can afford it, buy the 14 pro and an airpods pro (original…there is a lot of fake) and an Apple smartwatch.

You would enjoy them together

Cozbymaster97:
14 pro max
Tends to be outperforming the S23 from all benchmarks.
It’s really a powerful device with better battery life then the samsung

Hardey33:
I would have go for Samsung...
You actually want to try iPhone is the reason u seek such advice
Try it out and even if you don't like it as much as Samsung you can easily sell it back as it get second hand value ...

There are so many lessons.

1. Never betray your benefactor. E.g Like what Pandora did to Atiku

2 Never hate a person because everyone hates the person. E.g Igbos against Tinubu

3 Always attack a common enemy by unity and alliances. E.g PDP and LP were not United and no alliances formed.

4.Never be too confident of victory. E g Atiku was too confident of victory

5.Never let your emotions cloud your judgements. E g nzogbu nzogbu politics didn't allow the igbos to look at the bigger picture. Now the person they love to hate is their next president.

I will drop more lessons when it gets to front page.

I like your number 5. The youths were overly emotional.

Congrats.

I love naija and within africa abeg. I love to eat my cultural foods without having to do a lot work abeg. I am not againt anyone traveling. I am just talking about my self.
Nigeria has wack govt and crazy masses, I know. Life is short. I can only visit other countries on vacation, I still love to see my family, my mom, my siblings, enjoy the cultural food.
I have solar installed, I have power 24/7. I drive my small car fully AC, above all, ladies are so affordable here. U can get a stable side chick for as low as 20k per month and kack as u like. Life is too short to waste it.

Also, I earn online which means I can kinda cope with the naira inflation rate since I dont get paid in naira . I know naija is insecure, so, I mind how I move.
I am one hater of Nigeria o. Don't get me wrong. Even if I would relocate, it would be within a more peaceful african country. I just love being around people who look like me more. I no get energy for all that cordination in white man's land.
Like I said, this is my own opinion. I work hard to keep improving my dollar income online and enjoy the umu asa as much as I can.
Babes cheap for here abeg. Nothing dey this life aside p*ssy and money and hopefully, live healthy if possible.
I wish u all the best nne!

They also said Nigeria fit fight war. Oh, well, people in Ukraine never believed they could get into war last year. Well, it happened.
The world is not predicable and death can come at anywhere. War may break out even in the least expected country.

Abeg, if ur income is in naira and it is low, japa if u can o

We just hope for the best as we live the NOW/

Borgamaame:
Lol...it's interesting you think I'm a bro
Anyways, I digress.

I'm sorry to hear about that. People have different ways of processing relationships, especially when they move to a new place. I don't know how your relationship with your said brother and his family has been or with your family and his immediate family. However, i think you should give them time. Yes, there's an unwritten expectation that a family member that travels abroad should be on a lookout for opportunities to bring the rest of the family over or to share some good with them. However, people are different.

If you want, let's shift standpoints. Imagine you were him, you find yourself in a country where nobody looks like you. And even when you do find people that look like you, you don't even get to talk. If you don't have a stable job (with good salary and benefits), it can be hard. And one with a family, it's not easy. There's a lot of things to say but I can't tell it all.
Also, I don't want to assume you or anyone close to him has billed him or complained to a point where he locked up. Again, I don't know what has transpired in the past.

I had a sister who we regularly talked. We are both in the US. She was ahead, in age and in the society. All of a sudden, she stopped communicating and responding to my messages or even calls. I was surprised! I got worried at some point because I thought she was in trouble or something. Do I know why she stopped communicating with me? Nope. What have I done? I have respected myself and stopped messaging. I put her in my prayers too. Never billed her or even complained about stuff.

Till date, she posts regularly on social media and views my stories sometimes.

All I am saying is, pray for them and work on yourself. When you stop expecting people to act in certain ways, you reduce your chances of getting disappointed by them.

Selah.

ceaser:
Having a life of both worlds isn't a bad idea though. The most insanely great part is having the funds to go round the world, visiting many countries at interval. Then come back to Nigeria again for recess.

But you can only get this opportunity fully if you already have the bucks, have a big and booming business in Nigeria or overseas and if you are a corrupt Nigerian politician or the kids of a Nigerian politician.

SouthCaroliina:
Once I’m settled abroad like after 4-5 years, I’ll always come home for xmas with family and friends. Naija xmas too sweet abeg. Pack enough dollars come. Sleep the highest hotel, Bleep the highest bitch, go the highest club. After celebration come back to my abroad again till next December

Gerrard59:
Everyone cannot be an employer or entrepreneur. Nigeria that you are in has the highest number of poor people upon say people dey do side-hustle. The issues lie in buying what you don't need, having plenty of children, taking loans for non-asset generating items, not saving and investing, engaging in lots of frivolities that take your money away, not being highly skilled to earn more enormous salaries, not doing delayed gratification, keeping up with the Joneses etc. Moreover, as your earnings increase, whether as a salaried person or entrepreneur, your expense would also increase. The major advantage business owners have over salaried people is tax laws. Governments across the world generally favour entrepreneurs. Anything to pay fewer taxes is perfectly OK. Alternatively, as a salaried person, you skill-up and apply to jobs that pay in foreign currencies or countries where the income tax is very low (Singapore) or there is no income tax (the UAE).

Bills would always be paid, employee or entrepreneur. Manage your expense very well. Some of una get four children, yet una skills have not been updated to enable una earn big salary, why won't you people complain?

BigDawsNet:
Salary is for paying bill, that's for people earning low income

Tech guys dey here wey they swallow 350USD/yr they are doing do wonders oh...


Pls, guys ...2023 buy Laptop and start learning digital skills....

That's ma Christmas gift for you

iLegendd:
That is why we tell men to make money first and have businesses with backups incase the main one crashes before pouring their sperms inside a woman to raise kids, but no, their pastors push them to get married fast even though there is nothing and God will provide in the process.

These men keep waiting for God to provide till old age and subject these innocent kids to suffering. God only provides for those who are persistent and smart-working, not prayerful only. You are a funny person. I understand you though.

The only type to poor men I pity nowadays are those who were once "legitimately" rich, but lost all because of a disaster beyond their control.

Lagos2Berlin:
This generation's idea of love and marriage is based on fairy tale expectations and a romantic lifestyle. Once that is absent, they get bored and fed up. Marriage is work and dedication to one another and only those who see it through God's perspective can make it last.

laivwire:
Mumu people plenty for this platform sha. They fail to comprehend before rushing to type garbage.

Nobody stopped you from going there to see for yourself. If you can't get out of Nigeria, blame yourself not others who were successful in doing it. If you're asking her to come back to Nigeria just because you did not have the opportunity to go then it's a shame. It's a shameful mentality that has always held us back in the stone age. Held Africans back. It's a bad pull-down attitude africans exhibit in and outside Africa wherever they go. Its a plague that will never let us develop till we turn to ashes.

Winter is not a dream season, it is brutal and words cannot define it. Africans suffer from being stuck in menial jobs for ages, flogging your body on a daily just to survive with barely any savings. Life is way softer in Nigeria working corporate and all but the societal challenges have just made it inhabitable. We are forced to make a choice; enjoy a good system but suffer physically and mentally or enjoy life but live in fear of a failed system.

If Nigeria is half as good, they'll be begging us to visit Europe but the poor leadership and below-average mentality from those who continue to elect mediocres put us in this state.

Parties who should not even have the effontery to set up campaign venues are front runners for another presidential term. Smh. When the country is in total shambles and we have nowhere to escape to since they won't accept us, only then perhaps can we gain our senses that we have been on the wrong path ever since.

Asour:
Some might argue that IB adds little value to the world too.
It's just a cash-grab underwriting endeavour.


value is heavily subjective.

Samantha123:
He has no right to tell you to get married just because he himself got married, you will get married at your own time when you're ready even if you'd be 40 years old.

I really don't get why some people like pressuring others to do the same thing as them, next thing when you end up getting married to the wrong woman out of pressure, he won't be there to share the stress with you.

He should mind his marriage and let you do you, and marriage is not for everyone.

Story.

Those People will only think about this for a moment, feel sober while reading this piece lol.

Immediately they are done reading, They'll switch back to their Wicked Lives

Some people are just funny. Some think that there is a particular qualification that can give a guaranteed job. You still need to go through the process of adaption before whipping that degree you so much cherish to get a job. So someone with a degree in aircraft engineering will just approach an airline and they will create an opening for him even when they are not looking?

Dedicate the first three years abroad to getting your feet wet before landing a dream job. Newcomers tend to blow their progress out of proportion. That brother sending money back home as a professional in his field may be a security guard doing night shift somewhere while searching for a better job.

Yoshiyuki:
Not all stories like massages have a happy ending....My friends circle is so small, it's now a dot. Had this friend that was a serial complainer and ultra sensitive like toothpaste. Whenever I pressed him (not literally, perv), he'll get all wound up and stop talking to me. I reached out to him and apologised a couple of times but after the last one, blanked the n*** He sent me a message almost 1 year after but ignored his sensitive ass

Joshmuch:
U did well but Firstly, remember, not all girls are expressive with appreciation. Thanks could be rendered as a hug, kisses, more attention and sex, cooking for you, helping you, watch out for these signs.It doesn't ALWAYS have to be in words. If u woo a girl, she kissed you, and she allowed you bang her, will you still be expecting a YES from her or not?
Secondly, Truly, many girls are entitled, but 2 weeks is too short na. It takes some lil effort to get a girlfriend in the first place, but u just throw it away in 2 weeks. Naija girls come with a lotta baggage o. Just manage them, tolerate what u can tolerate and avoid what u can't. Finally, don't take Redpill & being simpless taught on Nairaland too serious otherwise, you will always be lonely and that for a long time.

Peace

It's difficult to see Nigerian woman that will easily go back to Nigeria from a first world country.

Many of them turn to Canadians, Americans or British etc. the moment their legs touch those countries.

43Ronin:
There are 5 times more Indians than nigerians in any country and the Indians are usually successful. This is why. The indians prepare for canada/UK kob mkt before they come. Their people in those countries export knowledge back home so that the ones home can be quickly prepared. BA, Project Mgt, Data Analyst, Data scientist these Indians learn this skills thoroughly before even travelling out. So when they eventually travel, they are more prepared than you in that labor mkt. You will in a python class learning how to code but the Indians have finished coding . Their people own many biz in US, UK, Canada and are willing to help their brothers free for work sponsorship. But the nigerians, MBA! You that just came they will charge you to teach you coding, bill your life if dey want to help you get work visa or sponsorship. And social media has really made lots of nigerians very stupid. The Indians here can barely speak English but they all passed IELTS with band score 8. Give Nigerian the pin code he will come to nairaland, twitter or LinkedIn to cast...

BOZZKJ:
Maka type this one for pidgin base on say foreigners come board n this msg suppose be for we-we.

This way una de cast naija babes e don de too much ma fellow geez. Even though some de f-up (not all sha), e no mean say una go carry Der matter come every SM/forum de cast dem na. Besides, who no de f-up in one way or d other?

These babes weh una de cast, no forget say na person sister ooo or person daughter, una go de use bad names de join am give. Na una own una know ooo, some countries babes fit worse pass our own but we no de see or hear dem de cast dem women anyhow d way we de do ours.

If babe free face, una go say she too cheap. If she hold body, same una go say she too de do do, de hold body. Person go say naija babes kpekus too lose but e'm forget say na him fellow guy man weh lose am (abi dem de born babe weh her kpekus go lose eventually). Guy man no de carry eye see babe, e go want toast am, cut kpekus chop...n same guy man go still come SM or Forums de misyan say babe too lose. She no give u na wahala, she give u self na still wahala.

Babe chat you up, if you no de interested you shun her politely, which one be say una go carry matter come here just to make dem look bad n disgrace dem. Dat year weh I de active for FB, babes from other countries de send me DM, we go chat normal n e end Der...na wetin b d big deal cuz babe (s) chat you first (you go come open thread just to cast dem).

Una don make others (from other countries) don de look down on our babes n to una e make sense! One thing weh una fail to understand be say, as una de cast dem for everywhere, una de cast una self too cuz las las e d insult go touch una too sooner or later.

Celepope:
If the OP ready he should hit me up make we show am as e dey go for West Houston. Don’t worry you will have free accommodation. That aside, I have very bad reservations about Canada. Only those that have gone there can tell the story. Many of them cannot even afford tickets to travel within the so called Canada.

gaby:
Human wants/needs are indeed insatiable.

Una go complain about Naija, complain about U.S., complain about U.K...so so complain.

Carry dem go heaven dem go still complain say the place too white or the angels clothes as dem depict am to us too bright...haba..

God, nature, and the universe abhors ingratitude and complains to no end.
Why would your savings not perpetually be hovering below the 20k mark when all you see and do is negatives?

Una no understand life and her workings.

You attract what you exhude...logic, but not a simple one to wrap an immature and inexperirnced mind around.

Whiners....

Make una get to work and mould your ideal country. We dey wait.

Integration, acclimatization, and adjustment are always foreign to you whiners and negativists.

NB
Are Nigerians the only people emigrating to the West?

Go to the US, Canada, and the UK to understand that Nigerians are learners in migration.

These other immigrants particularly the Indians and Latinos migrate in droves, set up businesses, and taking up much of the business spaces while helping each other grow and expand.

Buy our own na "I want be the only one to succeed so that every one go dey worship me and if I fail in that regards, I'd start canceling and discouraging emigration over unfounded half-truths".

The US for example was made by immigrants and slaves and is today a melting pot of every culture in the world because it is what it is.

There are enough jobs that they do not have citizens willing to do them and the immigrants of today whose home countries are nothing to write about are picking up these jobs with all pleasure and raking in fantastic earnings.

Sickening...

ednut1:
Bringing a spouse to Canada you have to sign an undertaking that you will be responsible financially for the person for 3 years. If your friend takes a student loan or car loan and refuses to pay she will be held liable. If he moves out of the house and govt has to house him they will send her the bill. She has more to lose sha. The 9ja female in Canada shakara usually ends at 35 to 37. After that they are open to even bringing an okada man from Nigeria. Your friend too doesn’t sound like a good fit or person lol. At this point for her all die na die, matches on dating apps have dried up. It is well

brandmix:
All thing ma equal, you have nothing to worry about.

The consultant is right, she will be denied once they establish she has a tendency to want to pull the rest of her family and settle after school.

The optics of having a child behind is a strong case for her coming back after school.

….story! Just do what my friend did, after a few months you and your kid apply for visitor visa and while you are there, she can trigger a spousal visa for you guys.

The chances of getting a spousal visa while in canada is almost 100% certain, but 50-50 if you apply from Nigeria

Shikina!
