Phones / Re: Why Do Majority Of Smartphone Users In Nigeria Detest Windows Phone? by elektra80: 10:42pm On Aug 11, 2016 |
iamxolomon: U can't just ship shitty phones itel produce into the USA... They have regulatory agencies like ICC. If itel wants to sell their phones in the USA they can, they just have to make quality phones. Take a look at ZTE and Hauwei. They use to make shitty phones and couldn't break into the US market, but do u know ZTE axion 7 is one of the best $400 phones u can get right now. With qhd display, beautiful metal unibody, 4gb of ram, stereo front facing speakers, USB c, snapdragon 820, etc. The phone is now sold in the USA and other advanced countries. Same thing with Hauwei, Alcatel, etc. So if tecno, itel and infinix can up their games they will sell their phones in the US market. |

adedayo3193: How can u say this? Windows phone have nothing to do with the screen, it comes down to the manufacturer and technology used. I once used lumina 920 and the phone dropped on asphalt and the screen got shattered. But the touchscreen was still working. My wife's Sony xperia z had a single crack and the touch stopped working. We had to change the whole screen. The screen have been changed 3 times for the same problem. It is just like saying android phones don't have qhd displays just because tecno phones don't have. 5 Likes |

Phones / Re: Ntel Lte Sim Registration Update by elektra80: 5:05pm On Apr 22, 2016 |
nani667: So for ur mind u think network provided by a sim card can give u that speed? Keep dreaming. That is a wired connection and probably fibre optics, but u get eyes u can see it is connected to WiFi na. I don't think any 4g LTE connection has ever gotten to 100mbps, highest registered is around 80mbps and it is very rare. On the average it is 15-35mbps. If ntel can give u steady 40mbps now my guy u better rejoice because as soon as they get more subscribers ,the speed will drop to around 25mbps if not less. U can never compare wireless gsm (LTE) or broadband to cable... Never. The advantage LTE has is it is portable, u can use it anywhere while for cable it has to be permanently fixed to ur house or office and u connect to it via WiFi or cable. |
Phones / Re: How I Lose My Phone Last Night by elektra80: 11:07pm On Apr 03, 2016 |
Looks like tecno manufactured too many phantom 5 thinking people will rush in numbers to buy them. Turned out there are too many phantom 5 in stock with nobody willing to buy, hence this aggressive publicity, about 5 fake phantom 5 stories on Nairaland in just 3 days. I know tomorrow someone else will post a fake story about phantom 5. But seriously who will shell out 95-110k to buy this phone. Tecno should know they have drastically reduce the price to get people to buy, 95k is just too much for this phone, if they can make it like 50-60k in no time they will sell of their stock. They couldn't even employ educated people for their ads, HOW I LOOSE MY PHONE LAST NIGHT lol. Op shey na rope u dey loose? Try tie am back na 1 Like |
Phones / Re: Lg G5 Looks Like A Fail by elektra80: 4:59pm On Apr 03, 2016 |
Code45: It is called design language. Every recognized OEM has that. When u pick up an iPhone u don't need to look at the apple logo to know it is an iPhone. When u pick up a Sony xperia u don't need a soothsayer to tell u it is a Sony phone. Sake thing with HTC and Samsung, they all follow a particular design language. And in all honesty this g5 has even deviated from what lg is known for.. They even ditched the back volume buttons and placed it on the side. |
Phones / Re: Lg G5 Looks Like A Fail by elektra80: 3:40pm On Apr 03, 2016 |
Code45: Actually there is no similarity in the design of the g3 and g5. The only similarity in design is they are both a slab with a huge screen, but isn't every phone like that?

fowlyansh181: See as u just dey mumu yourself. Internet speed is measured in megabit per second or Mbps which is the same as mb/s. Someone posted his speed in Mbps and u are still asking him to post it in mb/s. Is that not mumu of the highest order? Mbps = megabit per second Mb/s = megabit per second MB/s = megabyte per second . The 3rd one is use to measure the speed of download. U are confusing mb/s for MB/s. |
Technology Market / Re: (scam) Alert BROWNKAD.... Do Business With Him At Your Danger!!! by elektra80: 6:55pm On Mar 08, 2016 |
runbler: Dude why are u complaining? U bought a 64gb iPhone 6 plus for 60k, that is less than half the price of if a used one in the market; yet that didn't ring a bell? U tested the phone at the point of purchase and it was not charging, the screentouch was unresponsive and yet u went to pay. I think u are the greedy one here, I will not even blame the seller. I will only blame the seller if he sold u a bad phone at the normal price. |

dumo1: Some people fail to understand that. To some people the taller and newer the fastest, I know someone who still thinks a 2000 sienna will beat a 1996 Honda accord i4 in a race just because the sienna has a v6 engine. I wouldn't do this with an SUV, unless I'm driving a Porsche Cayenne or range Rover sport. |

Sports / Re: Was Mikel Obi The Worst No 10 Player At The World Cup by elektra80: 6:48pm On Jul 16, 2014 |
Syenite: You really must be stuck with football of stone age. Really? no 8, no 4 lol. The modern game has advanced and squad numbers don't really matter. But if u must use squad numbers... I will tell u that Mikel did not play no 10 for Nigeria at the world cup. Mikel play central midfield alongside Onazi in all our 4 matches. So u think central midfield is no 10? ha ha, u really are funny. Can u name me a few no 10 that u know? For chelsea Oscar plays no 10 and he plays in the hole behind the striker while Matic and ramirez/lampard plays central midfield. So why didn't u say Lampard also plays 10 for chelsea since he plays central midfield. For Germany and Arsenal, Ozil plays number 10 behind the striker with central midfield pairing of Scweinsteigger and Khedira. So why didn't u say Sweinsteigger plays 10 for Germany since he plays in Central Midfield. In a traditional 4-4-2, a no 10 is not normally required because there are 2 number 9. Number 8 is the one that plays alongside no 4 in central midfield (really the numbers don't even matter these days, I'm just using it to illustrate since u care about squad numbers). A number 10 is the attacking midfielder which Mikel did not play for Nigeria at the world cup. Against Iran it was Azeez, against Bosnia and Argentina it was Babatunde and against France it was Moses (yes Moses). Below is a traditional modern 4-4-2 formation, if u must call someone no 10 then he will be the second striker, not central midfielder. As u can see, 4 and 8 are in central midfield. If u must give Mikel a squad number for Nigeria then what he played was no 4 and not no 10. 2 Likes |

naija noni: Micheal Carrick vs Mikel And ur point is? I am a man UTD fan and Michael Carrick is a vital player for man utd, but he is not a world class player, neither is he a squad player. Man Utd and Chelsea are 2 different teams with different styles of play. And yes Man Utd has the worst midfield out of the top 5 clubs in the EPL. But the way they manage their midfielders is different from the way chelsea does theirs. In Man utd, carrick is vital,(not a wolrd class though), in chelsea, Mikel is a squad player (Also not a world class). Yaya will displace both carrick and Mikel if he goes to either teams. |

Real players take risks to show the manager and fans what they can do. David Luis has forced people to realize his attacking talents. Yes Mourinho is benching him now, maybe he doesn't play to instruction right now but there are top clubs out there that are waiting to pounce on him. He forrced his way into taking free kicks which yielded reward. Drogba also forced himself to taking free kicks even when Lampard was on the field and we all know what happened. Yaya Toure was not the first choice free kick taker at Man City, but he forced himself into taking free kicks and now he is their first choice free kick taker. What is my point here, top players take risks to show what they can do, while squad players just play to instruction, like 'I will do whatever the coach asks me to do'. Mikel had lots of attacking potentials before he joined chelsea, he was second to Messi in the Youth championship. Maybe he got scared of playing at the biggest stage, or he was scared of taking risks, he ended up being a squad player. I believe he has lots of potential in him, what I'm not so sure of is if he still have them after being in this position for so many years. 1 Like |

striker9: Your last point is the reason I said Mikel has been a better player for national team than Yaya. Yes I agree Mikel has been a better player for country than Yaya. Same way Diego Forlan has been a better player for country than Messi. Same way Ozil is a better player for country than Frank Ribery. |

A squad player doesn't necessary mean u have less appearances. Check john O'Shea's appearances for man utd. He played an average of 60% matches from 2002-2011, but he was a squad player. To me a squad player is one who plays strictly to instruction. That is what mikel is at Chelsea and such players never become world class. Same thing with Ji Sung Park at manchester united. Park was a vital player but never a world class, he had lots of caps for Manchester united playing to Ferguson's instructions. He and oshea were one of Ferguson's lap dogs. A world class player should have a mind of his own, take risks and do the impossible to favor his team. Yaya toure is, mikel is not. For Nigeria mikel has a mind of his own but for Chelsea he is a squad player. |

naija noni: He is a squad player. Someone that can take one for the team, someone to receive the blame when team is not playing well, someone that will sit on the bench without complaining. Every team needs a squad player. |

naija noni: @Write2obi Alright.Your opinion. Accepted Makelele didn't score many goals in his Real Madrid and Chelsea Career, but no denying he was a very vital player. One of the best DM in his time. And yes there are not too many players like Makelele, Viera and Roy keane in modern football. Mikel tends to lean towards that category but is he really doing enough to be ranked among them? |
Sports / Re: Mikel And Victor Moses Nominated For BBC African Footballer Of The Year Award by elektra80: 10:52pm On Nov 13, 2013 |
write2obi: Thank u very much bro. No doubt Mikel is a good player but he is not in the same level as Yaya. And people should stop using the excuse of him being a defensive midfielder to cover his inability to shoot. Essien was playing defensive midfielder when he was in his prime and he scored some cracking goals. Roy Keane, Patrick Viera, Makelele, Jarvi Martinez, Sergio Busquets.. are all deep lying defensive/holding midfielders but they stamp their authority on games and are not afraid to go forward and not forgetting their defensive roles. This is why Mikel is a squad player while Yaya is a vital player. |
