Dafungames:
The man is so correct imagine buying music and not being able to download music.

The phone sucks. If I should get one tomorrow it's will be just for show...

You can also download on an iPhone. But try and buy or stream at least. Your favorite artists deserve something for their efforts.

iPhone invest massively and design and security and majority of folks uses the iPhone cause of this reasons. Take for instance it was after the iPhone X release that other phones went into full screen display with little or no bezel and then double cameras. In terms of security the iPhone Face ID remains unbreakable have seen several videos over YouTube where android phones the flagship ones are been opened with a 3D face of an individual. In as much as you would weigh the cons the pros are there. The iPhone 7 was released 2016 and is still relevant till today can you say the same for Samsung s6 or a tecno note of 2016?..

Very good. The phones are still relevant...obviously. It’s Apple, they make only solid phones. That notched display with little or no bezels & the dual camera setup were copied from Android. Obviously a lot more people followed that path after the iPhone took it up.
Apple’s Face ID is top notch, but you shouldn’t even be comparing it to Android’s Face unlock. Android manufacturers barely claim to use any special technology for their face unlock...most don’t even advertise it. There’s a reason companies like Samsung evolved to the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. If it’s security you’re worried about, that one covers well enough for it,
To your last question, Apple’s longevity for smartphone updates remains unbeaten. You’re just mentioning good qualities of the iPhone.
I mentioned how Apple has ensured that their iPhone’s still don’t have technology that is at least 5 years old now and you didn’t say anything about it.
You can love your iPhone and still admit that Apple is holding back on its customers. If they try this holding back with their iPads, Samsung will just finish them.

ForestHill:
Let's be realistic about facts, how many average persons can comfortably afford an Android device ranging from 100k-150k in Nigeria right now? With the availability of midrange mediatek affordable phones in every stores right now??

The iPhone 7 is still a very solid phone, and you can get one with 70k. I only used the X/XR example because notched iPhones are seen as the holy grail of smartphone technology by the average Nigerian.
The average Nigerian may not be able to afford it, but it’s not the most expensive thing in the world either. Having one equates to being rich in some people’s eyes.

OtunbaBlack:
If it was affordable bet we would see a lot of people using it. We iPhone users are not complaining. I don’t see why I should want to change theme when I’m not a baby or use micro sd when there’s always cloud storage at my disposal. The best decision I made several years ago was to port to iPhone and I’m never looking back again.

No one is talking of SD card here...even Android guys barely use SD cards these days. And no one is telling you to change either.
You can love your iPhone and still agree that Apple doesn’t always make the best decisions for its users. They make the best decisions for their pockets. My iPad Pro from 2017 has a 120Hz display, same as a lot of Android flagships these days. Meanwhile, the iPhone 12 Pro of 2020/2021 doesn’t have it. That’s because they know they have to innovate & update in order to survive against Samsung in the Tablet market. But for iPhones, all they have to do is release a new colour and people will still buy en masse.

meobizy:
That’s why Zuckerberg’s WhatsApp is more relevant. What a foolish mindset.

Lol. WhatsApp is only relevant because it was released first, and it continues to copy features of other platforms to stay relevant. Like another case of the “digital slavery” the man is talking about.
Telegram is superior by far. WhatsApp will have to copy Telegram in its entirety to remain relevant in the future.
Features will eventually defeat familiarity.

ForestHill:
If you can't afford it don't hate it.

iPhones aren’t even that expensive fgs. 150k will get you an X or XR
What’s all this affordability talk about?

Hintona:
Someone explain. How are they digital slaves?

They only get what Apple says they can get. Advanced technology is usually hoarded by Apple for several years after it becomes mainstream on other platforms, just so that Apple can have some little thing to add to their next iPhone.
As the cofounder said, developing for Apple feels like he’s living in the Middle Ages.

CSTRR:
So you actually think if burna boy was 1, he would have been where he is today.
He did not capitalise on Nigeria afrobeat to get to where he is.

You think if burna boy was Kenya, he would this successful?

Do you know how much Nigerians in diaspora do to market Nigerian music.?

They should make him an experiment.
Stop trending his music anywhere in the world and watch him slowly fade away.

His musical influence he owes to Nigeria, whether he acknowledges that or not. His bodies of work are all by his own effort. The fact that he has a wider range of musical ability than most other artists from here is strictly his own talent.
Nigerians in diaspora market Nigerian music quite a lot. Yet, the song Ye mainly blew up when a bunch of white people started praising the song after they found it while looking for Kanye West’s “Ye”. Then other’s who had listened to the whole album started talking of which songs were their favorite. Then Burna’s Nigerian fans also joined in...before we knew it, everyone here was famzing the boy.
Before all this happened, I personally remember being pained with how Nigerians were ignoring the Outside album. That’s why nobody can tell me anything on this Burnaboy issue...he was very much ignored here. I remember it clearly.

Burna owes his initial musical influence to this country. You are right about that. But currently, his music isn’t strictly for Nigerians. His range is too wide for him to claim he’s just a Nigerian artist (take “Real Life” for example).

candygist:
Many of your never supported him since day one.
Many of you celebrated when he lost his first Grammy nomination.
Many of you said he will never win a Grammy.
Many of you don't like him even after he outshines your local champions.

Now, the same nigga you all don't like said he doesn't make money from your Nigeria and you all are still angry.

I don't understand Nigerians o.

Nigerians just want him to lick their feet.

They’ve been shouting “Pride goes before a fall” since the 2013 headies . Man has gone from glory to glory since then, even winning a Grammy. If Nigerians had the key to this guys’ destiny, they would make sure he becomes nothing in life.
But God pass them.

ubox:
It's probably Nigerians in the Usa, France that still streams his music

If that was true, then we can also assume that it’s the Nigerians in Kenya that stream his music so much that it surpasses those of Nigerians living in Nigeria.
That is unrealistic. It was even because of International recognition that Burnaboy blew up here in the first place. Most Nigerians didn’t care about his music before then.

CSTRR:
Nigerians should give him one more chance.

If he misbehaves again, use him as an experiment.
Don't listen or trend his music anymore.

So that others will learn.

Lol...check the analytics of Burna boys music. The USA gives him about 5 times the revenue that Nigeria does. France is second on the list...people that don’t even understand what Burnaboy is saying.
Kenya gives him more revenue than Nigeria.
Most Nigerians don’t stream/pay for music from official sites. We either download for free or stream from sites like Naijaloaded.
How is the artist going to make money?
If you cut the whole Nigerian revenue from Burnaboy, it’ll take away btw 5-10% of his listens.
He’s not lying...you can ask any artist around you with some level of influence...they mostly make more from outside than from Nigeria...except if they decide to hold concerts.
It’s not really our fault...a stream from this country is worth much less than a stream from France/ the USA.

saphiere:
David, the only time I will respect you is if you man up and do the needful.
You own more fans to yourself because of your relationship with Chioma and not because of your music.
The only Nigerian music video with the highest views on YouTube is the one you featured Chioma. Chioma has done a lot for you indirectly.

Incorrect.

osazsky:
Yet he couldnt qualify for ucl..its vanity...u gain the whole world and dont make ucl that one na life

Lol...someone that is by far the greatest UCL player of all time.

Offpoint1:
I know it's one of Twitter lies when he had to trekked to work... In short''

I wouldn't wear shorts to my personal business, so this story is fake

Lol. Just look at your comment fgs. So you wouldn’t wear shorts, therefore no other human on earth should wear shorts.
In the picture on the thread, you saw him wearing shorts but still went ahead to give this baseless statement.
Well, this is him in shorts, and at his place of work.
This is how you people make jest of men when they’re abused.

Lol.
Consider returning his money pls. Just for avoidance of future problems.

BeautyO:
Not defending prostitution..m just dropping my two cents on why I think the Op should have done.. He's wrong for interfering

If your bro was about to marry a well-known hoe, would you interfere or not...especially knowing that he probably wouldn't go on with things if he was aware.

BeautyO:
.


True Love sees no past or flaws.... i

people marry known prostitute nd still live a better Life.,... Donald trump , offset just to mention a few

So everyone should start marrying prostitutes?
Offset cheated on Cardi...because he doesn't value her (and for very obvious reasons). If she wasn't rich, he wouldn't be anywhere near her.
Trump is a sexual predator, you using him as a good example shows you barely know him.

These are you two best examples of people we should follow? Lol.
I wonder why women defend prostitution so much.

Q

Haven’t you heard of the S21 Ultra?

Someone who actually wants a Z Fold wouldn’t normally consider a 12 Pro Max as an alternative.

Lol...see how one man’s success is paining so many Nigerians
Is this not the witchcraft you people always complain about?

Can you get this for me. I want to purchase it right now.

MeekySmudger:
,...Imagine where the ball was and one idiot said the part of the ball was on the line..

This is the only way that ball can be on the line

Omo...even his anger generates money.
The GOAT for a reason.

It might have been bad for Portugal, but at least something good came out of that situation.

pquaver:
Can u show us your comment and your outrage to it hear on nairaland.com? Is it wrong now because it affected you? Then I am still right on the hypocrisy ain't I?

I didn't watch or know of the 2019 Serbia match...neither did I comment on anything regarding Ronaldo or his match yesterday (until I came across that idiotic comment). You can draw whatever conclusion you want to draw.

pquaver:
Or you choose what to bring or not what about Serbia? Where you blind to that part?

What do you want to hear again?

“What is wrong is wrong”...this includes both his goal against Serbia in 2019, as well as the cancellation against him this year.

pquaver:
When he scored offside goals to beat bayern and atletico did u cry for Bayern? Or mercy for atletico? Are the goals not among what you celebrate as Mr champions league? Go and check this time last year the dude scored an offside goal against Serbia. Serbia players didn't walk off the pitch, the didn't make noise the finished the match and respected the fact that it is what it is.. Why didn't Ronaldo storm off on behalf of Serbia that he scored an offside goal.. He is celebrating that goal and using to claim international topscorer.. Did he care those guys were cheated when he was celebrating the goals? Ronaldo fans are such hypocrites Damn..

See if you don’t know what to say, then don’t comment.
Same Bayern match you’re talking about, they also scored an offside goal...Don’t bring Bayern here.
What is wrong is wrong...ball crossed line and 2 refs claim not to have seen it, but because he has scored some offside goals in his career, he should start shining teeth?
I don’t see why you’re bringing his International Top Scorer status here...if you remove all the offside goals, he’ll still be top scorer.

Last last na Ronaldo Bleep up...next time he’ll learn to tear the teams apart properly instead of doing his best at the last minute.

Quaddafi29:
Ronaldo is a wonderful player and it was a goal but many times such errors do occur but Ronaldo is one that cares more for personal glory than team victory. He comes Of every match thinking of self. Removing and throwing away your arm band s like tearing your country's flag in anger and stroking of the pitch self defeatist and childish.

Lol...so your own problem is his own reaction to being cheated...the fact that he was cheated doesn’t concern you.
Una dey always see wetin to talk. A man and his country are being cheated in his very front...for a match winning, table-topping goal, but your own problem is that he didn’t shine his teeth and pretend that everything is alright.

tayooluwole:
Aswear burna boy songs they dry for my ear,,,how come he got views this high

Because other people like the songs/videos...obviously.

Jerryherd:
I honestly, but if person talk Na to dey attack... Very dry Fela Wana be

You’re free to talk...but don’t call him a Fela wannabe...majority of his music creations are nothing close to Fela.

Lol...Nairalanders hate Burna sha.

GodIsBiafran:
You are a dishonest and fake person. You keep pretending not to see reality starring you in the face. Burna's biggest song till date is YE, a mixture of Fela's lyrics and Afrohiphop. The guy who said he did it all by himself, YET his biggest song is almost carbon copy? Number 1: When 2baba, 9ice, Kizzdaniel, Tekno and Flavor sings you hear the Nigerian originality. You don't here that UK hiphop nonsense or American wannabe trash. That is called originality. This is why Burna is big in UK/US - because he is singing for them. Which is okay if you wanna win grammy but don't be going around thinking because white people recognize you, you are now baba for here. Number 2: Talent-wise burna no reach these guys at all. No be insult. Na fact. He no reach does not mean he is not good. My issue is that he keeps going all over social media making unecessary noise. Then we have to remind him where his level lies. If them born burna well make him make versus battle with either Tekno or Kizzdaniel or Flavor. Let's see how your overrated noisemaker fairs. We won't even disgrace him by pitting him against 2baba or 9ice.

Dishonest and Fake? But I’ve agreed with you na, Burna cannot sing. Tekno and 9ice will beat him in versus battle
What do you want again?
Ye is his biggest song (On The Low in the mud). If I say you don’t know what you’re talking about now, you’ll start lamenting again.
His level lies in the fact that he has a Grammy.

Drink water and rest abeg. No need to conversate further.

GodIsBiafran:
You are very dishonest. Stop foolin yourself here:

Outside, Bank on it are useless. Onyeka (even though is named after my sister) is trash. Wonderful and Remember Me is average. Dangote is good. Real Life sounds like UK hiphop. 23 another waste of time. Heaven's Gate also sounds like UK music. Monsters You made is a dark and useless song that sounds like American black panther hiphop. Where I'm from and Time Flies...crap and crap.

Only Dangote has any originality here. Timi Dakolo sings better songs that all the other rubbish you post here. You keep trying to push this fake narrative. Again, what is burna singing that we have not heard before? You burna boy d1ck riders need to be honest and stop exagerrating his abilities. It is embarrassing.

Chai ...don’t worry. Progenitor of Music in Africa, I hail.
Tekno is better. All the people that listen to Burna both here and outside don’t know good music.
Everything he sings is either trash or crap, except the one that sounds like Fela or UK music.
Anybody who says he likes Burna Boy’s music is either lying or fooling himself. Only you know good music and good music is Flavour, Kiss Daniel and Tekno.

Raph82:
Sorry o, why u com carry another man matter for head like dis? Abeg focus on ur own strength & potentials, forget about person wey no even know say u dey exist.

You see people hating on another man’s success but I’m the one you can come and say this to.
You’re funny.
