Nice one op but I don't understand this line at all because that looks like puff diddy, and he was in fact the owner of bad boy record which biggie was signed under before his demise, puff diddy was the one who broke the news to biggies mum.
OP clearly identified him as Sean Combs (aka Puff Daddy) and most listeners knew him for the "that's right" background lyrics in the Notorious BIG track.

First off bro, Apple is a Trillion dollar company, and not a billion dollar.
Secondly, do you know what flagship killers are? I suppose you don't.

you're obviously an Android smartphone user, but if you you're not; kindly back down, 'coz no one is asking you to buy Apple gadgets.

Speaking of Processors, GPUs and UI/UX; it might interest you to know that Apple has the best Smartphone processors, GPUs and User interface/Experience. Also, games could be done/processed effortlessly by Apple's Mobile Processors & GPUs, without breaking a sweat; unlike most Android smartphones with mediocre GPUs and all.

iPhones are mostly purchased due to its efficiency in computing processes.
Most, if not all Android OEMs, implements the 'pixel binning technology' on their cameras; hence, the increase in pixel figures.
Which is why the actual value of a 48mp camera is 13mp.

name them, Powerful Processors, GPUs, Highly efficient OS, and ultra Cameras, iPhones are the real deal; they give you the very best if you can afford it.

Please do have a lovely day.
Stop attacking the person, stick to his point. The phone he is using is not the bone of contention. Apple has all these you mentioned but the point is that thier recent release doesn't offer anything extra and yet their prices keep going higher.

Instead of seeing this as an Apple vs Other Brands contest, see it as an Old Apple vs New Apple contest.

The only thing I know about apple is, it is the richest brand in the world ...that's to say if Steve Jobs is alife today he would have been the richest man in the world
This is a wrong conclusion. It doesn't work that way.

Like i used to say, they will go thesame path of IBM, RIM, HTC, NOKIA, SEGA etc
IBM is still the largest IT firm in the world in terms of spread and employee base and the 6th largest tech firm in the world in terms of market value. It's a bit unfair to lump them up with these other firms.

CrimeRe: Nigerians let's learn to defend our name more. by etrange: 8:37pm On Jun 13, 2020
Your content is awesome but your title is misleading. The post is nothing about Nigeria vs South Africa. It is an internal issue. I guess that's what your first paragraph goes to clarify but then, not everyone would even open such a seemingly fruitless thread. Such title would only attract xenophobes.

Back to the issue at hand, I agree with you. I've come to learn that most people here who support outsiders to trash talk Nigeria have never left the country. They have no idea what life is like on the other side and therefore are misled to believe that it's greener everywhere else. Fact is, every country has its problems. Nigeria is heavily populated so everything is somewhat accentuated. The number of rich people will be high, the number of poor people will be high, the number well known names in the academia will be high, the number of criminals will be high, the number of musicians will be high, etc. This isn't an excuse cause there's really no excuse for crime. However, when you travel across Africa, you'll be glad you're Nigerian. While our government has become synonymous with corruption, we still have some level of stability and outlined power transition policies. Majority of other African countries still have power drunk dictators who have refused to leave the seat; some have handed over to thier sons. You think that is not a form of corruption? Talking about country-wide poverty, have you been to Central Africa? Like my friends here would say, Central Africa is the Africa the white man sees on tv. Even here in the Western world, we have serious racism to deal with. But people from these other countries remain patriotic to their country while fighting their leaders.

I think we can also put up a patriotic front while we fight out leaders internally for better leadership. Our actions should be geared towards positive outcome and I do not think any country has ever made serious progress in the past by joining outsiders to trash talk their country. In fact, you'd only be stigmatizing yourself and your country people. Funny how we turn around to complain about how we're perceived or treated out here.

They’re all from the same source and produce the same gibberish songs except few ones from Burna’s “Ye”, Davido’s “Fall”, Wizkid’s “Ojuelegbe”, Tuface’s “African Queen”, D’banj’s early songs, Patoranking’s “Peace song”. Aside these songs, others are nuisance. Songs are poetic in nature: they must evoke that social sensibilities in the listeners, treating contemporary issues. But when the singer deviates from those societal significances, they become nuisance to the real world.
Lol... You see, singing is an art, the artist is the god. While the audience is allowed to have preferences, you don't usually tell the god how to create. I don't quite agree that songs are meant to be just poetic or addressing social issues. That will be clipping the wings of art (creativity, diversity and ingenuity) but I totally understand the fact our musicians are overly and annoyingly into the girl, boobs and as.s matter; but thrb again, they do so based on popular demand. They know their market, they know their audience. Talk about girls and as.s and mix it with great beats, and Nigerians will be there for you. So business wise, they keep supplying that which sells. It has come to be a type of music prevalent around here and in many parts of the world (especially South America, theirs is far worse). But it's paying them and so far, there's been no reason to stop.

Knowing that people will always not have the same taste, I don't bother calling out musicians whose style of music I don't like. Instead, I just listen to those I like and let others keep enjoying their beats.

Dads are gifts from heaven.

I could feel the emotion behind this writeup. You're lucky to have such a great a dad and he's lucky to have an appreciative child. Regardless of their shortcomings, it's mindblowing how far parents can go for thier children. My father still managed to charge against a young able bodied cab driver who threatened me at the airport. Lol, it was so funny and touching as well. Sometimes I feel like taking the next flight to Africa just to hug my aging parents and come back.

For those whose parents are still alive, this is a call to show them all the love, care and affection you can afford. They won't be there forever.

Long live our parents.

咱们学习中文. 很好

I met an igbo Nigerian lady from there who speaks chinese. I recommended her to the Chinese company I'm working with and she was employed instantly with salary over 100k

But during this pandemic, my company called us all to Abuja head office from our various sites because it's an engineering firm. You wouldn't imagine, when i saw this my sister,she begin dey carry shoulder up for me o and even confronted me with fight and curses because i told her to print something for me, she said i talked to her rudely without respect. Since then she no even fit give her brother food for once especially during d lock down.

In this life....no too help women o...very ungrateful beings
Concentrate on your friend and leave women. We don't a abuse men when a male friend wrongs us but always quick to call out all women when a lady is involved.

Neither was mine.

I quoted you 'cos you were bringing one down in order to uplift the other. Had to point it out to you.

Au revoir.
Hey... Ok. this is obviously comprehension problem.

I never brought anyone down. I am fair and so are my siblings. I said being fair is not necessarily beauty. I didn't say being fair is not beauty. The word "necessarily" simply implies that being fair or not is not a judgement for being beautiful cause people can be beautiful regardless of complexion.

Replace the word "necessarily" with its contextual synonym "automatically" and you'll have a better understanding of that sentence.

Of course it's the same. I don't know what you are gearing at but my post was not a fair vs dark submission. The topic is about bleaching and not about darkening so the perception of fair complexion is the subject of discussion thus why I wrote about it. Isn't this so obvious?

What I mean is every natural skin tone is beautiful.

You don't pull down one in order to uplift the other undecided
I didn't say fair complexion is not beautiful. I said fair complexion is not necessarily beauty. Two very different statements. One can be fair and still not be beautiful.

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But if you think fair complexion equals beauty, don't blame bleaching girls for wanting to look beautiful.
