I use a 5-inch android phone and I read well enough.

How about getting a 7-inch phablet then change the font settings to a larger, readable size?

You could read PDF files with Adobe Reader too. Change the font size then use 'text reflow' as default.

I read countless books with these settings and I don't need to strain my eyes.


Mobility is the key here. A laptop is always the best for reading though.

u can't compare reading on a 10incher and on a 5incher. I can't buy a tab less than 9.5inch. I rather stick to my 5inch phone. I use a 10inch tab and it's still portable and makes reading of PDF files easier. besides, a laptop can't be carried every where. it's too bulky. so a 10inch tab is not similar to a 10inch lappy. imagine opening a laptop in church.

Well, the guy later said he will confirm if it could b worked for me free. Later, he sent me 2 No's to call and lay my complain. I think its their Lagos office. called both No's but they did not pick my call yesterday. calling much later today.

na wa o. so because e no reach you it must not reach 0.3% times their wives and chudrens o. you rather some ppl build road 1 billion per kilometres ba.
you probably don't understand my point. I am not planning on staying on my current job for long mind you. Plus my mum is a fed worker. The minimum wage may thus benefit me anyhow. But to bring the issue to the table where fuel hike is gonna be discussed is so not cool. The same FG is claiming the workforce is too much. What happens if they cut jobs later? Of cos na small small everything they start. Shebi workers no gri support NLC. When Buhari cuts jobs, them go seek NLC but will not find
Politics › Why Minimum Wage Cant Be A "Palliative" For Fuel Price Hike by donpata(op): 3:47am On May 20, 2016
Many NLanders who dont support NLC strike keep saying NLC should talk of minimum wage rather than fuel hike. I think that's a weak point of argument and so i won ask: "How Many People Minimum Wage don Epp?"

My point is simple: If anyone wants to argue for deregulation as being the best option, then its best to do so without bringing the minimum wage into it cos that is a story for another day.

I therefore believe that NLC was right for refusing to negotiate minimum wage at a meeting meant to address fuel hike. Also, there is no how FG would claim min wage is a "palliative" because that is a baseless argument.

The fact stands that:
1. Based on records, the FG has about 90k staff. Add up the security agencies and it may be save to say that FG has around 500k people on its payroll. Now if we relate that to 160mill Nigerians, that's about 0.3% of our total population.

2. Lagos State employs the largest work force after the FG. Kaduna has about 90k staff on its payroll. Oyo about 86k. Let's assume an average of 60k staff for the 36 states of the federation. We should thus have about 2.1mill state workers and this represents a meagre 1.3% of our total population (I know its likely higher).

3. The minimum wage they want to review will also only affect these 0.3% FG workers because the last time i checked, about 26 states are currently battling with the issue of salaries which is based on 18k minimum wage. This is besides the fact that many states have not even implemented the 18k min wage.

For instance, Kaduna State govt where i work uses 15k as min wage. On level 8, am paid 36k and note that i have a BSc, PGDE, and MSc. My boss who also has MSc. is on Lev 16 and is paid 123k.
Now relate the above to the fact that a diploma holder on FGs payroll earns upwards of 45k depending on the institution/agency.

4. Thus, how can FG hike fuel price and introduce Minimum wage of 45k (or so) as "palliative" for something that will only affect just 0.3% of our population? (dependants noted but excluded)
* What about communities that dont have any federal worker? How do they benefit from the so called "palliatives"?

5. Besides Lagos which may be able to pay its workers any reviewed minimum wage, which other state can pay?

6. It is general knowledge that the price of fuel affects over 90% of Nigerians as compared to minimum wage that will only benefit a few.

7. If i invite people to a ceremony and some eat 3 plates while others take just 1, i believe everyone eats based his stomach's carrying capacity so i got no reason to vex. Wetin concern me with that oga that Govt is subsidizing the fuel he uses in his SUV? subsidize for me too according to my stomach- (1.4lt engine) and i will be happy.

8. What about those who are not even on Govt pay roll? The farmers, petty traders, students, barbers, phone charging vendors, the maisuya and the grocery shop owners who use Tiger Generator? What about the students that go to school daily and the workers that will be paying a hiked TP fare? Which do they benefit from? Min wage abi Low Pump Price?

9. They claim the N145 pump price will ensure availability of product but we all know its a lie. Right now in Kaduna, the queues are gradually returning again. Of cos the marketers are exhausting their products and will thus have to go and buy with dollar at 340. With this "deregulation" and CBN FX policy, i think N145 is not the ceiling but rather the floor.

10. Finally, shebi they said they have N3trn in TSA. Make them use am arrange the Refinery nah or are they keeping it for 2019?

SUMMARY
FOR those who did not read my epistle, all i'm saying is govt should argue for the good of deregulation but never bring in increased minimum wage as a "palliative" cos it only DIRECTLY benefits less than1% of the Nigerian population. They want to getaway with the insensitive fuel hike easily. Min. Wage is a necessary discussion for another day.

Mchewwww!! seems u are new to the smartphone world. My last phone had 2g ram. now am using one with 2g ram and 4000mah battery. which kind bad luck u won give me with itel? abeg holam dia!
Phones › Re: Itel It1507 Specifications #metalsmartphone by donpata(m): 7:53am On May 11, 2016
can't Itel get a good market advisor? why do they still stay behind time. till date, itel still produce single and dual core "smartphone". How can u pair a 5incher with 0.5g ram? see the resolution self. Olodo itel. itel uses carlcare care centers and thus could sell well if they wake up from their medieval production line. Another thing I notice is that they have some good phones that u will only see in offline stores. u won't even know such phone exist. Terrible marketing.

Kizyte:
Please, with all honesty, never ever think of buying Innjoo phones with your money, not even with the money you picked by the road cos Innjoo is a complete sh*t!
lol. u dey provoke ohh. dem done do u bad abi. @op, I called Lagos office of Innjoo today where my Innjoo fire has been held to ransom for over 2months running. The lady promised to check and call me back. But unsurprisingly, and as usual, she only deceived me. That's just calibration issue ohh. Buy Innjoo at your own risk. I bought it and in less than a month, I regretted. My friend has since dumped his Innjoo note cos no where to get ba3. AS said by someone above, once u hear the name Inn...., just run for your life else na heart attack u dey use ur money buy. The fact that 2 or 3 voices claim its good does not mean the over 100 wailing voices should b ignored. Buy Innjoo, Buy Trouble.

I can't speak for those outside Lagos. I hope they find solution to their problems too though.
I wish I can call u to address this rubbish u are talking here. if Innjoo office don't have parts, where will road side engineers get the parts? u are talking trash. nairaland is inundated with complaints abt Innjoo that any right thinking person should wish that they be banned from Nigeria till they improve. I myself have open over 3 threads to complain here. my Innjoo fire which got spoilt less than a month after I bought it has not been fixed till today. I called their Lagos office which u claim have parts and they kept telling me call in 2 weeks time. from July 2015 till now, the phone is not fixed. it's at their Lagos office and its been there for over 2mnths now and still excuses. I bet u haven't even used an Innjoo.
