And what happens to the difference in curriculum?

Chief, bastardizing Ossymac products isn't a wise idea. You can use pictures alone without the label or mention product name without the pictures.

He still has a kid in secondary school? Wow.

That moment when you were just trying to read through and blast the OP but you realise that it's a long note you aren't going to read but will still blast the OP anyway.

You may have to peg it between 18k and 20k. A neat advice.

That's what you get when senile dementia is a prerequisite before one can have a shot at governance.

This almost brought tears to my eyes. It's very sad. Why must the masses even segregate themselves when they should be united? In this sad times, we still have lots of hate to go round??

Sad.

I need something like that; how to type into a phone with a convenient keyboard.

Damn teenagers.

Don't be an overgeneralizing nosy being. It's not everyone that get a kick pretending over what's not. Turkey was about having a coup, so? To an average Nigerian, what's the thing to go crazy over? Other than quoting my post, what was your contribution? You haven't even an idea what you intend to do with this knowledge. Identity disorder is mostly associated with puberty. You're using the word 'teenager' in the wrong direction.

I think a fact is a certain truth that has been proved beyond reasonable doubt. But a truth in its ordinary is kind of negligible, not necessarily proven but expected to be accepted as real.

Who Turkey epp?

What the hell is 'baby daddy'? I think it's one of the semantics people hide behind to run away from full responsibility. You're a father. Your child assumes more importance than anyone else. Any lady that's not cool with that is a threat to you fulfilling your responsibility and thus shouldn't be taken seriously. That's my school of thought though. I believe humans have differences in what they value and how they are valued.

Honestly, she lost some cash there. Say, she donated #50million to them and they used #10,000 out of it to construct the award, what else? She should have just made it for herself, and present it to herself. She's even more popular than the group

Forget all the rubbish projects going on up and down, this is the most important project our country should embark upon. They should follow up the BVN and Hospitals to start up a meaningful database. From here, accurate planning can be made.

Lekwanu aruru ala Rochas choro i ruu n'ihe www.nairaland.com/3226822/governor-rochas-it-again-rochanomics

This bridge was built at IMSU Junction barely three years ago by Rochas Administration. However, it is currently being dismantled, the reason given is that it is against the expansion plans of the State Government, a plan supposedly enacted in the first tenure of Governor Rochas and continued in this second tenure.
The suspicious part is this: there has been agitations of recent over the mammoth costs of projects under his tenure and a freelance team is being put together to value the bridge and compare it against the costs as put on paper by the administration. Now, however, there are two hinderances. Firstly, there are no alternative means of obtaining the costs as the House of Assembly even appear to be in the dark over the project and its costs, a situation tagged 'Rochanomics' by Imo citizens. The second and latest is the destruction of the bridge which makes physical valuation impossible. This appears like a 'tracks-covering' exercise.
The onus is on concerned citizens to act with stealth and evaluate whichever they intend to without raising dust, lest it becomes another structure against the expansion plans and demolished before one can complete the sentence 'o** o***'

I already did. It's HTC one dual sim. It has the beatsaudio sign at the back. You can even Google the picture on gsmarena. The one without is fake.

You are right. I pulled the image of a site advertising a fake HTC One M9 besides the real one. I assumed it was correct because M9 doesn't come with Beats Audio, so I didn't bother editing it myself. I confirmed it is HTC Dual Sim.

So now you finally agree that Imo residents should be left to judge? Wonderful.
Where was this belief when you were making a fool of yourself all the way from Lagos throughout 2014 and 2015?
When you, the Lagos urchin, were having run-ins with bonafide residents of Imo like Vanacious1, Vanbonattel, Mcmlxxvi and the rest, where was this belief?
When you were shamelessly tagging them "BIGOTS" for HONESTLY voicing out against the man's misrule, where was this belief?
Some even went as far as taking pictures of the rotten roads right next to a current newspaper just to make you realize the error of your ways, but your mind was perpetually locked in the lattice of ignorance and blind hero worship.

BeremX, do you still remember when you labelled me a "Bigot" on this thread below?

Berem, it would take you 40 YEARS to attain my level of enlightenment, sentience and critical reasoning.

Just see how late you're waking up to the party.

YOU BE REAL MUGU, I SWEAR!

In all of these, you're talking of a pair of words in each with the same spelling but different meanings. The pronunciation is also slightly different because of the location of the stress pattern of the word. Such pair of words are called homographs. The word either functions as a verb first, then as a noun next or vice versa. In most cases, If the word functions as a verb, the stress is on the last syllable. If it functions as a noun, the stress is on the first syllable. Other examples are present, estimate, convert, reject, etc.

Please help me too, I have Nokia USB charger but the amp is 550vmh pls how many is that, is it up to 2v

Amps measures Current. It's different from the voltage. Most USB chargers are 5V though. The difference is usually the amps rating.

Please do you have an idea of which police division she is being detained? I happen to know of a family in Ajegunle Apapa area who are still looking for their stolen kids, two months after a child thief disguised as an apprentice made away with them. You never can tell, she could divulge useful information on the whereabout of most stolen kids that are yet to be found in Lagos.

There are two police stations within 10 minutes drive from the scene. Okokomaiko Police Station and Ajangbadi police station. It's definitely one of them judging by the speed of their arrival.

@ OP, Your HTC picture is not true. I used the HTC dual sim phone which was made for the Indian market. I purchased it from the US when it first came out. It had the beatssound logo at the back. Quite authentic. It's the one without that i would be looking at with side eyes.

Can you quote the phone model please? I mean the one you used. Confirm that it is HTC One.

CirocBoi:
@op you are wrong about price of samsung s5, fairly used/london used is between 30-35k, but due to greediness people sell above 40k to ignorant buyers, why on earth would some buy a 2gb ram phone for 50k when you can get a 3gb ram phone brand new for less e.g umi Rome, xiaomi n co

My brother, what really do you need all that RAM for? There's much more to a phone than the RAM. The reason I defined RAM is so that people will see the insignificance of believing the RAM entirely determines the speed of the device. But when you test the iPhone6 with 1gb ram against its clone with 3gb ram, you will discover that the iPhone6 is more twice faster than the clone. Trust me when I tell you that the lowest price you can get a working Samsung s5 is 45k if you are very very lucky.

This is an important information regarding the woman beaten by mob this morning at Aka Road in Lagos as detailed in this thread:

www.nairaland.com/3219315/female-kidnapper-nabbed-lagos-seriously/2

It happened between 7am and 8am this morning. I happened to witness part of the said episode, and can confirm that the woman in question is indeed the kidnapper as alleged. Here is her modus operandi and some vital information eventually gotten from her.

She disguises as a mad woman, but after she was beaten, she became 'sane' and fear of lynching made her start divulging information. She claimed that they were twenty-seven (27) women in all that came as a group of the syndicate from Benin Republic but are fluent in Nigerian Languages. Each woman was given 4 or 5 phones to contact their buyers once the target; little children infants and toddlers, is acquired. The phone is to be thrown away after transactions to avoid detection. If she uses diabolic means, it could not be ascertained. The kidnapping is for outright sale, not for a ransome

The missing child-count in Okokomaiko and its environs since the past two months is at seven children. At Okokomaiko some days back, another female kidnapper was apprehended after she successfully kidnapped one and was back for a second child before she was noticed. Unfortunately, she could not produce the first child before she was whisked away by the police.

So, Parents, Guardians and Siblings, take adequate steps to ensure your child never fall victims to these 'women on rampage'. One can never be careful enough with kids, but this time, you're not saving them from themselves, but from adults who're far more deceptive. Ensure your child/children avoid strangers and do well to tell their teachers to monitor their movements during and after school.

peppersnacks:
OP, good job.

Thanks Man, I appreciate.

You've decided to give yourself a treat by getting yourself a quality device with your hard-earned money. HTC, Samsung, Sony, iPhone, e.t.c. all come to mind. Whether new or old, as long as you're not buying directly from the service outlet of such companies or their authorized distributors, you're in the danger of losing your cash for next-to-nothing.

A clone is a phone that LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE the phone of your dreams, but it is NOT the phone of your dreams. With a layman's knowledge, it's hard to believe it's different until you are told. So, let's run down five sure ways of identifying 'Clones'.

1. CHEAPER: Clones are cheaper than the real devices. You can compare prices for new and used phones online, from official or knowledgeable sources, before you hit the market. Two weeks ago, I witnessed a lady bargaining for fairly-used Samsung S5 for #13,000 but the seller was like 'This is Original London Used. I can't sell it less than #15,000.' and they haggled on. If only she knew fairly used Samsung S5 costs about #50,000, give or take a few.

2. BOOT LOGO: The boot logo is the picture of the manufacturers' name the phone shows when you put it on..or off. Now, the 'smart' Clones will show you exactly what you want to see, but when you do a 'factory reset', an option under Settings, you will see the real manufacturers when you turn it on..or off. I was in this Delta Line bus waiting to leave the park, when the pastor praying told the guy sitting beside me that his Sony Xperia is a clone (he actually said 'fake'). The guy disbelieved him, but when he pulled out the battery, he saw indeed that the name on the battery and under it was 'XBO' instead of Sony. He still disbelieved, arguing that it shows 'Sony' when he turns it on. When the pastor was about to drop off, he told the guy to do a factory reset and see what happens to the 'Sony' logo. The guy did this, and when the phone came on again, it didn't show Sony again, but 'XBO'. Before he could turn to my direction, I closed my eyes and began to nod to the music from my earpiece.

3. SCREENSHOT: Most original devices take a screenshot when a combination of 'Power+Volume' down or 'Power+Home' buttons are pressed. I assure you that the phone named 'Feiteng' or 'Landvo' or even the subtle 'HDC One' will never respond to this combinations, even if Schwazeneggar was pressing the buttons.

4. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Other than the battery type and position, these Clones have slight or huge differences from the phones they imitate. The first thing you should do before buying a phone is to get the phone specifications from a trusted website like gsmarena.com. Run a google search with ' *phone model* specifications ' and you'll get the results you seek. Examples of such differences that can be easily noticed are:
--Screen size: The screen size is usually smaller in the inferior clones by sone inches.
--Screen resolution: At best settings in the camera, a picture taken with a clone will show a smaller resolution in the 'image details' than the original device.
--Operating System: Clones usually come with an earlier version, if not a complete imitation of the Operating System in the original device (Android, iOS or Windows)
--Camera Quality. Clones have a poorer camera, no questions. The picture quality pales in comparison to the real deal. This is not helped by the fact that Clones also have inferior screens.
That's how a female friend was saved by a selfie. She took a selfie with her friend's Galaxy Grand Prime and she so loved it that she was determined to get hers soonest. Off she went to the market for hers, but when she took selfies, she was disappointed by the result. Bottom line is, she almost bought a clone but was smart a little to recognize the difference. Next time she wanted to go for it, we had to go together.

5. HARDWARE INFO: The hardware the device packs under the hood is where the major difference between Clones and Original devices. I left this for last because it takes time to check and you have to be a little tech savvy to find your way about this. Equipped with the detailed specifications of the original phone from gsmarena or any other trusted sites, you can install applications like CPU Z for Androids, System Check for iOS or System Information for Windows mobile. These applications will give detailed information about your phone's hardware. You will notice differences in the following if the device is a clone.
--CPU: Android and iPhone Clones use the cheaper 'Mediatek' processor instead of Qualcomm, Krait, Exynos or the A4,A5,A6,A7,A8 or A9 of iPhone series.
--RAM: Most Android Clones have a smaller RAM (Random Access Memory) than the genuine phones. It is used to temporarily store data that the phone is working with at the moment. Clones usually have RAMs between the 512MB - 1GB range except in iPhone clones where they are somewhat bigger, but never better.
--Internal Memory: Clones, in general, stay away from installing large memory or quality storage devices in phones. So, expect a smaller internal memory in a Clone than in the original device. That's how this Nairalander here was accusing Apple of being stingy with memory by installing 2GB in iPhone 6S. It's either he is confusing the RAM for the Internal Memory or what he is using is a Clone. iPhone 6S only comes in 16GB, 64GB or 128GB memory. Even 32GB variant is a clone.
