It's better to research first before making wrong claims. WAEC is accepted by a lot of foreign universities, UK universities included. They even accept a letter from your university or employer in some conditions.

Phones › Re: MTN Pulse Nightlife Is A Scam You Should Avoid At All Cost by dims95(m): 2:34pm On Sep 24, 2020

Stanl3y:
I'm bringing this to everyone's attention because i don't want you to loose money to the hands of mtn like i did. Yesterday 23/09/2020 I subscribed to a nightlife bundle worth 2gb in total which is the maximum mtn allow per day. I did 500mb four times.
I didn't receive a message notification to alert me my purchase was successful but i checked my account balance and found out N200 has been deducted for the transaction.
I tried checking my data balance but saw nothing except the stupid 10mb bonus they always give once in a month. I further logged on to the mymtn app to check and i saw nothing. I decided to be patient and wait till past 11pm to connect maybe it'll work without showing data balance, but still when the time came it didn't work. I called the customer care and they confirmed to me i was debited for the data and the purchase was successful, but what they couldn't confirm is if the data was used or not. They said the application to check that is not populating any details for my line.
I find it ridiculous how their application can tell i purchased the data but can't tell if i used it or not. I purchased the bundles during the day which means it was impossible for me to use it during the day except 11pm to 6am. Anyway they further told me they'll forward my complaint to the service center lol and it will take 24hrs to receive a feedback.

I was annoyed and i felt cheated! This isn't the first time mtn has been cheating me with that scam they call nightlife, I once purchased a total of 2GB and found 1.75GB credited to me but i ignored it, this time they took everything away! Another funny thing is, they deduct this bundle in a very funny way, an mtn nightlife bundle of 2GB cannot download a file of 1.8GB. Isn't it funny?

Anyway, You can purchase every other network's night bundle but I'll strongly advice you to stay off mtn.

I've also experienced the same thing, stupid behaviour from MTN. I raised multiple complaints on different platforms but got no refund.
What I'd advice is you don't subscribe for night plan in the afternoon cos you won't see your data allowance once it's time to use it. Subscribe one hour to 11pm.

Anyone who sees the child holding a banana as sexually suggestive needs to get their head checked. Disgusting mentality.

What is wrong with people? @op, you left the professional advice of career medical doctors, after tests and diagnosis, and came on nairaland to listen to all sorts of opinion with no filter, even the most ignorant person's advice will factor into your decision now. You didn't even seek a second opinion in another hospital or get advice from a specialist.
Well, I will hazard a guess on what you want, you want to be told of a "herbal remedy" that can wipe out the cyst right? Beware though, time is ticking, people die due to wanton experimentation and the wastage of time.
That's my own advice you asked for

Phones › Re: Samsung Or Xiaomi: Which Phone Is Best by dims95(m): 1:21pm On Jun 15, 2020

Which phone isn't mass produced?... Samsung makes more from the midrange line than it does from its premium line i.e the S series, Apple doesn't make midrange due to their stuck up business strategy, but they saw the business and money Samsung is making from its midrange line and they now picked up this strategy with the launch of the iphone se 2020!.

The Samsung A30 wad the best selling phone in europe in 2019... it's business boy!

Thank you for the exposition that has no bearing on the argument at hand. Tell me something I don't know.

nitt:
2ndly, the rolls royce is a car and the golf is also a car, both will take u from point a to point b, going by your analogy earlier, class shouldn't be a determinant in making a choice of purchase...

I highlighted that in the comparison of both cars all things being equal in terms of functionality.

Comprehend before typing hysterically

And don't twist my argument, I'm not arguing for function to be the only purchase determinant. I listed a good number of factors previously, address those. And yes, class shouldn't be a determinant. It's an intangible that cannot be given.

You wouldn't have a hint of what i mean. It's understandable.

Some pay the big money for the rolls royce cos of taste & cos it exhudes class.

For instance, Will the Volkswagen golf be capable.. yes!, Will it take you to where you're going.. yes!, Will it give you build quality.. yes!. But, will it give you all these and exude class ....NO!.

You Sir! are the delusional one here

You make me laugh. First off, all Samsung phones that you so highly praise are mass produced, assembly line products that cost a fraction of the retail price. Where's the class in that?

Second, Rolls Royce that you brought into a phone conversation justify their cars based on things like expert craftsmanship, superb performance, the best build quality, beautiful styling etc. These aren't intangibles and they don't just parrot "class" about, they offer you a better product. Their cars are practically handmade and no, the volkswagen golf will not give you these.

So you just effectively compared a mass produced product(sold by the millions) to a niche product that's almost always made to order. Next time, take the time to think of a good analogy instead of grabbing the next most expensive item that comes to mind.

Samsung makes a lot of phones, ranging from low end to high end. Any sensible and not-deluded buyer will look at the particular product and compare it to the competition before pulling the trigger, instead of brand buying and deceiving themselves with an oxymoron like "classy mass market product".

This is a delusional way of thinking. No phone gives you class, they're all just for-profit companies looking to make money. You buy phones for specs, build quality, software experience, features, capabilities etc, not class

Please just hear your self, that is why this country will always be held back by the type of thesame minded people like you, I have been shopping online for about 6+years from the likes of eBay,aliexpress and amazon, those retailers never disappointed me not even once, even with the current pandemic I was able to receive my order that I make from aliexpress without any long story even though I only got an Additional of 1day+ from the original date......so I know exactly what I am talking about.
And please tell what is fishy about me registering an account with them (jumia)?
Well established brand with multiple internal fraud and external threats....well said my bro

Classic unimaginative and dodgy response. It's actually your mentality that has the worst effect on the country, you go about defaming the reputation of a brand over a minor logistics hitch.
Do you think you're the first or only one to have shopped on ebay, AliExpress and amazon? Well newsflash, a lot of people, including me, have shopped on their platform and have run into similar issues like this. Heck, I have 3 orders on AliExpress yet to be delivered because of the pandemic. So don't come here to lie about how the pandemic has not affect their operations.
Like you've been told, if you can't wait for the item ask for a refund.

I don't know if you guys jumia have become scammers or frauders now,you always lie lie and lie again. You guys told me that I'll receive a call from one of your associate about my order delivery today,upon you guys failed to deliver on time, up till now nothing. My order delivery has already been due since 16th of April and today is 20th April , if you guys now are scammers better tell me ooo, because I am tired of waiting for you guys. If you know that you cannot deliver what you promised, why on earth will allow someone to place an order, since all what you will be saying is one should wait for an additional of 4 days, even after the additional of days you still failed to keep your promise. Can't you guys see what your big brothers are doing (amazon and aliexpress), if they cannot deliver they officially mailed you or the item you are about to order will out of stock but you guys all what you are after is our hard earned money. Please if you cannot deliver give me back my money period. Time wasters[color=#990000][/color]

Op quit your whining. It's clear that the delay is caused by the current situation on ground. There's also a notice on their website.
To devolve to the extent of calling jumia professional scammers is ridiculous. You claim this is your first order. Do you know how many people have hundreds of orders with jumia over the course of years?
Your order is 4 days late, during a pandemic, while the website you ordered from put a clear notice that essential orders have priority (I'm very sure you must have seen the notice). What more do you want?
Please request for your refund and quit dragging an established brand through the mud.
It's also fishy that you registered an account just 4 days ago.

A consequence of their sales strategy which was to focus on Africa (with emphasis on sub saharan Africa). This and their budget centric focus has made them the fastest seller in the world's largest emerging markets. As I commented on an earlier post, this will translate to more revenue for research and development and improvements in design and quality as well as overall growth as they start penetrating other markets. Kudos Team Tecno

Quite true. The African market afforded Tecno an opportunity to grow substantially, which would have been difficult if they went head to head with the big dogs in established and saturated markets, especially with their offerings. It will be interesting to see their next move; will they take more expansion risks, or will they become the big fish in a small pond.

Phones › Tecno Lands In Top 10 Smartphone Manufacturers for the first time by dims95(op): 8:08am On Aug 02, 2018

Tecno has been listed for the first time among the top smartphone manufacturers globally in a report by counterpoint research. The report for Q2 covers the months April to June.
The company came in at 10th position with a shipment of 4.4 million units in the 3 month period, up from 2.8 million unit in the same period last year. This amounts to a growth of 59% year on year.
As a result of it performance, Tecno now commands a 1% market share in the global smartphone market as regards shipment quantity.
The top 3 brands for Q2 are Samsung (20%), Huawei (15%), and Apple (11%). While the best growth performances were achieved by HMD aka Nokia (782% YoY growth, 9th position), Tecno (59% YoY growth, 10th position), and Xiaomi (43% YoY growth, 4th position)

Your ROM(operating system) is in beta, it's not the official stable ROM. Beta ROMs are easily versions used to test for errors. All you need to do is flash the official stable ROM and you won't have issues with your proximity sensor. Xiaomi makes this easy by providing the ROMs for download on their site.

And seriously, no one should compare Xiaomi to infinix and co. They're not even mates.

Phones › Re: Snapdragon vs Mediatek vs Intel -Processor Importance When Buying a Smartphone by dims95(m): 5:21pm On Aug 06, 2017

superemmy:
Pros and Cons between Mediatek, Intel and Snapdragon

Well, Inorder to find out which chipset is better among the three chipsets, first of all we need to know how these chipsets are different from each other.

Now, let me explain them in detail

1.) Mediatek:

It is a Taiwanese company. It uses more cores in it's processors(like octa core,hexa core,deca core).

It is a Taiwanese company. It uses more cores in it's processors(like octa core,hexa core,deca core).

Battery Life:

The mediatek chipsets are known to be more power draining and results in less battery life.Now they are optimizing their processors to be more power efficient but still lags behind their competetion in terms of battery life.

Performance:

Performance wise their processors are very good.Due the availability of extra cores,mediatek processors can handle intensive and heavy tasks and they are very good at multi-tasking.But we can see all this practically if we have sufficient Ram.Yes more cores demand more Ram to give best performance.

Heating Problem

Now coming to the heating problem. All the processors deliver heat while performing tasks. Mediatek processors deliver more heat(more cores=more heat) than the others.

Graphics:

Coming to graphics,Mediatek employs Mali graphics which is a third party graphics vendor(So graphics architectue is different from cpu and its performance may not match with cpu). It is really important to match the performances of cpu and gpu(graphics) so that the whole chipset performs efficiently and effectively.

2.)Snapdragon:

Snapdragon chipsets are manufactured by Qualcomm (American) company.

Snapdragon chipsets are not only just CPU's they incorporate other many processors in their chipsets.This is the main difference between Snapdragon and other chipsets.

Snapdragon chipsets are named as SoC's(System on chip) which means their chipsets(SoC's) have a CPU,GPU(Adreno Graphics),Image processor,Media processor,DSP(Digital Signal Processor),Cellular Modem unit,Wifi Modue,Radio Module,GPS Module,...etc. All these modules and Processors are inside of a snapdragon chip.Yes they incorporated all these things inside their chips.Hence their chips are costly.

Battery Life:

Snapdragon chipsets are best in terms of power efficiency compared to all other chipsets.

Performance:

Performance wise they perform really well. In multi-tasking,gaming,handling heavy and intensive tasks they are very good.

Heating Problem:

Snapdragon Processors generally deliver less heat compared to Mediatek and Intel Atom(Except the Snapdragon 810 Chipset-that faced many heating issues.)

Graphics:

Coming to graphics, they manufacture their own graphics called Adreno Graphics and incorporate into their chips. So here the performance of cpu and gpu are matched.

3.)Intel Atom:

Every one is familiar with Intel processors because they are dominant in the PC market. Intel Atom processors are the initiative taken by the company to enter into mobile segment.Intel processors are best in PC's but when it comes to mobile they have faced one problem...!

Battery Life:

Yes, the problem they faced is Battery life. Intel company has experience in manufactuting processors for PC's which consume power in watts(say 40 watts and above) but when it comes to mobile platform where the processors should run on power less than 5 watts, they had a problem in optimizing their processors to work on low power.

Don't worry that is all in the initial stage when they entered into mobile market. But recently in Q3 of 2015 they have announced their Mobile processors called core M-processors for mobile platform like tablets and smartphones. These processors are very power efficient and they consume power of 5 watts and below.But we may only see them in Smartphones or Tablets in 2016.

Performance:

Performance wise, i think i don't need to tell you how Intel Processors do. They are very good both at PC's and on Mobile.

Heating Problem:

Intel Atom Processors also deliver more heat when running heavy and CPU intensive tasks or while using for long duration.Let us see how their core M-Processors perform.

Graphics:

Intel, till now used third party graphic vendors like Power VGR and Mali graphics in their CPU's. Intel also have their own graphics called Intel Iris Graphics which they introduced in their 4th generation core i-series

Source: Quora

For the potential android tecno, infinix, nokia, xiaomi etc users you can find out more which device would better suit your needs especially if you are considering mild, light or heavy usage on games, applications and internet connectivity.

Op you're generalising too much in some aspects such as battery life, graphics and heat. Qualcomm produces many SoCs each with their peculiar behaviours, same with mediatek. Intel atom is one type of processor.

There are mediatek processors that perform better than some Snapdragon SoCs, this is because there are different processors at different price points. That's why the mediatek x20 is superior to the Snapdragon 430
