Actually in the stead of the president when absent, the VP acts as the president. The office of the president is what matters, not the man occupying the office. So, you are wrong. If the president is not in attendance, then the VP should occupy the seat. But from the pic, I believe, the pic shows them all standing as a mark of respect, as the president makes his entrance.

Wrong.

When the president is absent, the deputy acts still as VICE president. He only becomes ACTING president when the president is incapacitated.

The seat is meant for the president (acting or substantive) and not for the vice president.

igboes again.

The things auto-correct do to us these days tho.

Too true.

i completely support Junaid. FFK is only patronizing the igboes since he's sleeping with one o their wayward daughters.

we keep hearing biafra biafra. we don wait taya. please igboes stop making mouth and start your little storm in a teacup so we can mercilessly annihilate you criminals. We don taya with fake drugs and armed robbery sef, make una kuku start the war, i beg una.

this time no single yellow baboon igboe coward will remain alive.

Pardon me, but that sucks for a first school leaving cert. holder (Primary 6) even. I know many of my old uncles and aunts whose highest educational qualification is the old 'standard six', yet they have 'near flawless' writing skills.

Likewise, there are Grade 5 students who can do better than that.

I mean there are excusable flaws (we all have our foibles), but some are just inexcusable.

You cannot compare the standards of education back in the 60s and 70s to what obtains now. Heck even the 90s seem like some distant golden era.

besides, we cannot tell what school he went to, whether public or private. i've seen and read worse from socalled graduates here on NL.

Naughty me right? I definately wasn't talking about selling myself!

I noticed your innuendo earlier and needed to feed your imaginations.

haha, nice. it was too good to pass.

MztrChukwu:
Did you say he did well for an O'level holder? Huh?

We seriously need to quit applauding mediocrity in this society of ours. That letter is upper rubbish and i'd assume it was written by a first school leaving certificate holder. Shior!

That the Nigerian education system is broken is no fault of his. In the context of this decay, he did well.

Besides, Mr English, it's UTTER, not UPPER.

screw you, for an O level i think he really did well. You need to see what degree holders write.

the handwriting is better than mine sef.

iyatrustee:
Very true! But in my case, my pay was commission based so every prospective client was in for it

my god, you keep doing it!

haha i was just joking that your post has a....ahem...certain connotation about selling YOURSELF to clients. Look, never mind, was just a lousy joke.

Happy for you though!

I was marketing for my previous employer and went to see a client in my present office.

I was persistent and the man had no other choice than to buy the services i was selling.


There was an opening along the line and he asked if i was interested.



That was a little more than 10years ago

By qi charging,I mean Android phone like Samsung comes with special charging ports to charge WIRELESSLY and within 30 minutes,you get 100% change.

there're so many things wrong in this post.

1. Qi is a trademarked standard of the Wireless Power Consortium. It doesnt come with ports, its simply inductive charging between a transmitter coil and a receiver coil separated by an air gap of say 5mm. And there's no way in heck inductive charging is efficient enough to charge to 100% in 30 mins! it's trickle charge, slow and inefficient. Even the bundled samsung's quick charge 2.0 charger goes full in 2 hours.

I think what gave Android these phenomenal rise is her policy of open source.OEMs that bring a locked boot loader will loose customers and thats why the Chinese phones are heating the US market,being that they are non contract phones.I think the RC community of xda will fight any phone that comes with a locked program

only a small segment of the market makes their purchasing decision based on rooting capability. Dont assume because you and I and a few of our pals are tinkerers mean the mass market are also geeks. No OEMs market their products and put "rootable" in their blurbs and bullet points. Even Google doesnt advertise Android as something inherently rootable. You forget that the bread and butter customers of hardware are carriers: they buy the phones at premium, stuff them with bloatware, lock them to their network and sell at contract. The carriers, who have a remarkable say in the Android world than in the iOS world, would not accept any OEM marketing root as a feature, even if just for the sake of warranty.

Look at the official Google Developer Edition phones: how many did they sell? what is the Nexus market as compared to samsung and LG? The xiaomis, Lenovos, OnePlus and Huaweis make their market due to high specs and low price, that is their appeal. Most of them come with theme engines, making the desire for root access minimal.

danjumakolo:
I think what gave Android these phenomenal rise is her policy of open source.

Android rose because it's free, yes. Every manufacturer and their dog could take AOSP and knock out a phone in no time.

BUT...

The concept of Google's version of Android, the official Android, is going closed source. Google is moving more and more key services and tying them to Google Play Services and frameworks, which are proprietary. OEMs and developers are begining to have to kowtow to Google's design language and best practices if they want PlayStore and Google services. Google is asserting control, and the garden is becoming walled. Even the PlayStore, which once was wide open, in now being curated in incremental steps. This policy is what gave rise to CyanogenOS and Cyanogen as a company bent on taking their fork of Android in a direction consistent with the AOSP vision.

danjumakolo:
.OEMs that bring a locked boot loader will loose customers and thats why the Chinese phones are heating the US market,being that they are non contract phones.I think the RC community of xda will fight any phone that comes with a locked program

Absolutely not. Like i said earlier, no one buys phones just for open bootloaders, else the developer editions would have sold more than any other phone. OEMs market either specs, or lower costs. The average consumer does not even know what root or bootloaders are, and those 2 terms are definiote no-nos for corporate and government purchasers. Open bootloaders and root access portray an insecure platform.

XDA exists precisely because of locked hardware. They challenge themselves to beat root and do stuff just for the heck of it.

Also, the chinese phones are not officially sold in the US, except imports. Most of the chinese phones run on TDD LTE, which is incompatible with US LTE bands. The chinese phones hardly come with playstore by default, and the chinese language is pervasive and system wide. The main market of the chinese phones are Asia itself.

The stagefight alerted by zimperium which is found in the core Android media play back lib has been patched by Google within 3 days.So I gez Google engineers aren't sleeping.

for the bug to exist, someone WAS sleeping in Mountain View. And as for the patch, it applies to only a small subset of the billions of phones out there, precisely due to fragmentation. A lot of phones are stuck on Gingerbread, Froyo, ICS, Jellybean. Those ones are left out. When Apple or Microsoft releases an update, it rolls out almost simultaneously to all users.

danjumakolo:
I think Google might only come with a decentralized authentication technology where each Android device is capable of directly verifying the identity of other device without the need for a third-party Key Center. This end-to-end authentication creates a protected communications network that is entirely insulated from cyber-threats and privacy intrusions. Within this circle of trust, users can exchange sensitive data such as social security numbers or bank wiring instructions and know that the information will reach only the device intended just like what turing robotics is bringing now

This can only be done where the master public key and the unique private key are anonymously pre-bundled into Android phone.

You're talking basically about asymmetrical cryptography and a challenge-response system. But peer to peer in these days of multifactor authentication is risky. There needs to be a central clearing house that verifies token blobs going both ways as an added layer of security. Except if the keys are stored in a Secure Element, like Apple does with Apple Pay, vendors must design a panic system that rejects transactions once a phone is hacked, which still invalidates the need for root access. This means a third party cert server in the big grey cloud!

It worries me that Gowon, a general who fought a devastating civil war, believes prayer is the best weapon against terrorists.

cybertyrant:
bro its a sad one indeed for my so called niger delta brothers,i hope our excuse comes quickly so as to declare biafra on 25th of december,this will help bring those of us in lagos and abuja to come for christmas back home, and i pray that boko haram captures and destroys half before we commence, as a biafran i want to give nigeria a secret,why is it that it is when pmb talked about manufacturin guns locally that the usa lifted its arm embargo,hmm wat does that tell u,it means that the usa does not want a black nation to be independent on weapons thereby making other african country to stop buying from the usa,thereby reducing the economy,when biafra comes we will never buy weapons,we will make africa weapons,we wil make nuclear weapons

The nigerian military is getting trained and equipped by some of the best militaries in the world.

With all the experience garnered fighting BH and the swamp thugs in the delta, with all the training and equipment the nigerian military is acquiring, the country would WISH you igboes would embark on another buafran misadventure.

This time your annihilation would be total.

Karmanaut:
As long as Android runs a linux kernel there will always be root.

You can root your phone without tripping Knox; TowelRoot does that already.


There will always be Nexus devices.

adb reboot-bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

There.
FTFY.

Having SU access by design as an admin is quite different from hacking into your phone to gain elevated privileges. There's a reason phones come with root access blocked. While home automation, car integration, IoT, and payments are rapidly coming from the future to the present, Google and the OEMs have no choice but to completely lock down Android. This is inevitable.

No one would seriously transact securely on a device that is easily cracked open. Have you noticed its getting progressively harder to gain root access these days. Security is one of the core reasons blackberry ruled the corporate and government landscapes. Its also something microsoft crows about.

Lool at iOS. We started from full pwnage and soft unlocks to a near total lockdown. Apple invested heavily on security. No government or enterprise ia going to deploy a platform that is insecure. Tje days of catering to a select geeky few are fast dwindling.

In these days of snowden, mobile payments etc android has to be locked down.

And you seriously believe samsung, with all its investment in knox, wont spend considerable resources to fortify knox? Not if they want to succeed as a payments platform. Giving a few nerds root will hurt them more than the petitions of a tinkering few.

Also, samsung rules the android world, being the only oem making any profit from android. Removing sdcards is not just a design choice, its both business as well as technological considerations. With thinning profits they dont want to keep paying microsoft royalties on the aging FAT file system.

Sealed batteries are a design trade-off, as phones shave millimeters and bezels to get thinner and SoCs get smaller, removable batteries have to go.

Of course, the renegade thin-margin OEMs such as Oppo, OnePlus, Elephone, Tecno, etc will keep giving you root in their android forks, so be happy.

But one day you'll say, Ex Inferis did say once that root will be gone.

danjumakolo:
Well for me,I only like Android because of its open source spirit.This gives me ability to have read and access right into the system partition, thereby modding every thing to my taste.The days of frequent power dissipation in Android is getting over with the coming of qi charging and power banks.

Qi is just one type of competing inductive charging. Better to say "wireless charging" to mean the technology.

Also your ability to root will soon be taken away from you. Android wants to compete on the enterprise and government fronts, so security is ever more paramount, especially on biometrics-verified payment which is already supported on Android M. Samsung Knox already disables Samsung Pay if you root.

With the recent Stagefright fiasco, Google and its partners have no choice but to strengthen security; that means more bootloader lockdowns.

Android is very much becoming iOS: dwindling root, sealed battery, disappearing SD Card (which is inevitable due to samsung's new File System which will be industry standard) etc.

I think the 4gigs ram will add to.faster gpu rendering.
It will also unleash a superb multi tasking capabilities sammy is know know for.The only thing is I am not sure this 3000mah ampage will be enough to push the pixels and clock speed that will come from these Ram

If they stopped putting unnecessary 2k displays on phones maybe battery life wont be an issue.

Android is just a poorly architected OS, requiring octacores and oodles of RAM while iphone 6 does much better with dual cores at lower clock speeds and just 2gb or less of ram.

That's why it's interesting seeing android fans gloating about specs to apple fans, or windows fans.

I wonder how long biafra could last when they start poisoning themselves.

Here is what would happen:

Obinna would buy alomo from emeka, only to fall sick since it's a fake product made with ogogoro and kerosene.

Obinna would run to Saint Ojukwu hospital for treatment. Dr Chigozie would recommend some drugs. Obinna female cousin Obiora (who just got deported from italy) would buy the drugs, take the sick obinna home and give him some of the pills. Immediately obinna would start vomitting blood because the drugs were fake.

Na so obinna go die.

Igboes. Smh.

The net to catch crayfish is different to the net to catch a shark now. In fact the tugboat , the personnel and technology you use are different. The sharks will fight back ruthlessly hence you must be strong and ready to catch it, while preparing for the sharks you can be warming up with the crayfish nau. No be so?

Actually, you catch smaller fish to use as bait to catch sharks.

Yeah but how many devices are going to get ART, which is another issue i have with Android getting updates is never certain. yeah in terms of everything i admit iOS is actually the best despite my Anti-Apple views. less fragmentation, OS runs superbly unlike Android where more rams is just marketing gimmicks to push price, iOS is superb but mehn ......... might be able to get one when the AK-47 i ordered ships in.

Depends on your choice and budget. Android One phones, mid tiers and so called flagships are bound to get updated. The chintzy and shoddy ones from Tecno, iTel, and the other myriads of no-name chincos would sure be left stuck in the past.

Yeah RAM sounds like a gimmick, but since Android is essentially Java based and java is a resource hog (that dreaded runtime environment, even with JIT) one can understand the lack of options. I was amused to see the new samsung phones with 4 gigs of RAM, same as my Surface Pro 3.

Apple is rumored to be releasing a cheaper hardware in the 'c' class along side the expected 'S' phones, so you might recall that AK purchase and use the money to good use with spare change.


And, dude, no one uses an AK 47 anymore. If you must use a Kalashnikov, get an AK 12 or at the very least the AKS 74u

pcguru1:
I never said anything about "exclusivity" i just said it just seems seamless to me. only reason i don't like Android is just too battery and data consumption, especially with so many background services running. Windows Phone just seem straight forward for me , i only consider Android when i need gaming needs.

ART should be better than Dalvik on power consumption. You've granular control on background processes that use data. I do agree windows runs smoother ( little malware, efficient code, tight UI) but i find the UX plain and boring.

Not really a fan of android, prefer ios.

Youngpo413:
na wao,I'm not sure if it will work offline too like HERE map for lumia.

Its the same thing. (Nokia just sold the company to Audi, BMW and Mercedes just days ago. )

But Windows Platform is my fav, low usage of battery and date and syncs with my office server 100% but omo my eye is on LG Gpad 8.3 inches got a lot of playstation1 games and PSP games to finish , na the price dey fear me.

iOS and Android support LDAP directory services and VPN so i dont understand why you prsent syncing with your server as exclusive to windows phone.
