Nigeria's Politics is unpredictable. There are many sides to a story but only one is TRUE

This post has really been educative and informative. I'm in a similar situation like the OP. From the comments so far, i'm turning my radar away from UK schools to focus on Canada, USA and Australia.

Good day everyone, yesterday iwas thinking of ways to improve my write-ups and i thought "why not include pros(why you should buy this phone or advantages or gains) and cons(why you shouldn't buy the phone or disadvantages or downs)". So bstarting from today, each tech equipment we review would have its pros and cons.
Today we are starting off from where we stopped last time. We are going to be looking at the Nokia lumia 820. This flagship mid range mobile comes in a 12.38cm length, 6.85cm width and almost 1cm thick size which to me is a whoop against some phones as the length is not all too bulky to hold on to. You might think the hardware is highly packed when looking at its weight of 160g but to me it didn't do so well in that aspect(why be heavy when you are not a high end phone per se). The screen resolution of 480 x 800 pixels is also a wallop as some mid-range phones in the galaxy and lg series support better screen resolution than it offers.
Beefed up with a 1GB RAM and 8GB internal memory, i would said that that is the only plays it surpasses its junior counterpart(Lumia 720) and supports a micro sim card of up to 64. Concerning the camera, they pleased me with an 8MP primary camera with dual flash, geo-tagging and autofocua and sufficed it with a secondary camera of considerable pixelage. It come with a CPU of 1.5GHz krait dual core and a chipset of Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon which should satisfy all geeks(which i am a king of...) who put high performance specs into considerations. Nokia capped it all off with a standby time of 330 hours which ain't up to the Lumia 720's. So looking at the pros and cons below and later full specs in a table, you all can then tell me what you think about the phone if it is worth buying and those who have it can help those who are planning to buy with its performance qualities

Pros
Amoled display
Expandable Memory
wireless charging plus great design
Cons
Heavy
Low resolution display
poor battery life

Continuing form where we stopped at the Nokia Lumia series, the next in line should be the Mid range 720 version. Before diving into this, if you haven't read the others, you can see them here for 620 and 520. Ok that out of the way, coming after the lumia 620 is the Lumia 720, being the elder brother, it had to be both loger at 12.8cm thicker at 6.7 and weighs a bit more than the 620(thgat is if you consider 1g a significant number) at 128g. With it's 4.3inch screen, it offers a wide view of display akin to that of the samsung galaxy core and guess what? Nokia employed the galaxies screen protecting company of Corning Gorilla glass to make it scratch resistant while you enjoy its 480 x 800 pixels display. Having a super 8GB internal storage(Yeah right, you have all seen that before)it kinda disappointed me with its 512MB RAM(seriously i expected better) with a window 8 OS which is upgradeable to WP 8.1 amber and has a dual core processor.
Moving over to it's camera features, the 720 has a 6.1MP primary camera(Back Camera for those who don't understand what primari means) with autofocus and a 1.3MP......Coontinue reading at http://zednaija..com/2013/12/nokia-lumia-720-specs-and-price-in.html

https://cdn2.gsmarena.com/vv/pics/lg/lg-optimus-g-pro-new-2.jpg
Have not been a fan of some Phones but this phone had to get me rooting for LG all the way(really Lief's Good). This is a sequel to the LG optimus G and in the act of making it a Sequel, LG had to out-do themselves and practically packed the Phone with state of the art tech.
Now if you are a fan of large phones lets say 13cm upwards, this is your best bet(thats if you don't like The nexus 4), sizytically(P'square) it comes with a 15.02cm lenght, 7.6cm width and 0.94cm thickness, thats really slim isn't it but weighs 172 grams(what do you expect after that size and the functions you are soon to see, paperweight?). shifting to its display, with a 5.5inches screen packing 1080 x 1920 pixels of comes the the second version of corning gorilla glass.
Memory wise it has 2GB RAM and and comes with 32GB in built storage. it supports 2G, 3G AND 4G network(which yet is not in Nigeria). It contains a whooping primary13MP of camera with flash, image stabilization, face and smile detection and secondary camera of 2.1MP. Android operating system of JellyBean which is upgradable to KitKat tops the sweet features of this "Gadge" and a battery with a standby time of 598hours.
Now aint all this grand, see it other features as you read

This addition to the Lumia series is an improvement on the 520 and 525 models. The lumia 620 is a smaller phone than it's younger brother and feature a thicker frame with a somewhat squatter height. It comes with a 5 megapixel primary camera and 1.2 megapixel front facing camera which supports video-call for all ye skypers.
okay, then looking at its internal memory, it runs on a 512 MB of RAM which is a downcast on the 525 but carries a whooping("yeah, Great"- you would say) 8GB internal memory and supports up to 64GB sd card, Nice ain't it.
It runs on windows 8 Amber with a CPU of 1Gh Krait and comes in various colours from yellow, green, orange magenta, white and all the way to my favourite colour BLACK. So just scroll down a bit and feast your eyes on the tabular representation of the specs and Prices in Nigeria....

Okay, seems Nokia joined wanted to join the really smartphone world and came out with its first microsoft phone. The lumia 520. The phone which was announced febuary features a 4 inch capacity touchscreen with wit a scratch resistant glass which is similar to the corning gorilla glass. The size is in the average range that fits comfortably into your pocket at 11.9cm height, 6.4cm wide and 0.99cm thick which is as slim as any smartphone can come.
considering the ram size which is 512mb and internal memory of 8gb supporting a micro sd card of up to 64gb you would not have to blame nokia for its cut down on the phones specs after you get a peek at the price below. It features a 5mp camera at the back with flash but does not have a secondary camera at front, so does not support video calling(skype). With a windows 8 operating system you get to have a feel of that fluid microsoft interactive display that comes with most of their systems these days and stay connected with all you friends on all social networks. An you all know what Nokia is known for (durability and battery life), the battery life of the phone is superb and has a standby time of 360 hours, talk time of 14 hours and music play of 61 hours which compared to other smartphones is a huge boost.

I'm really happy for those guys that were shortlisted. Making first class honour in any department or institution in Nigeria is not a small something. I pray that in the next edition, i will be one of those shortlisted. I salute Mr President for this initiative of sponsoring intelligent youths. This will payoff in five to six years time when they will come back to impact on their fellow countrymen. With this policy, vision 20:2020 is acheivable

According to vanguard this morning the 25 story Nigeria house was gutted by fire this morning this is how it was reported....
NO fewer than three persons were, yesterday, injured in a fire that engulfed a 25-storey building on 45 and 47 Martins Street, Lagos Island Local Government Area, owned by the Great Nigeria Insurance Company Limited, popularly called Great Nigeria House.
More than 200 traders occupying the building were displaced, as business activities around Oluwole Market and other adjourning streets were paralysed and property worth billions of naira destroyed in the inferno.
Hundreds of bystanders and staff of corporate organisations in the building watched helplessly as fire service men battled to put out the fire.
A senior officer of the Federal Fire Service identified as Mr. Obiah Onoh was, however, manhandled by the angry mob for the service’s alleged late response to distress calls.
Vanguard gathered that about three cars parked on the second floor of the building were also burnt by the fire, which started at 6a.m. on the first floor and spread to the third floor of the over 30-year-old building.

Hello everyone, been away for a while sorry for the absence. While I was away, I was battling removing a sticker for a denomination for which I might be lynched at home for if it ever came to the eyes of any of my parents (Mother and pastor alike). So I went online (my usual solutions seeking center) and asked Google how to go about it. And trust Google, came up with different links and I decided to click away to see what they had for me. My high spirits were dampened when I found out all had to deal with chemicals which I either had no money for or would find difficult to get and they were chemicals like (meth-acrylate, strong acids, inflammable gases and so on). Gosh was I whipped? And this was a new type of printing which when I asked about got to know it was “Hot Pressing” So I decided to improvise and do it the Naija style (not really having anything in mind sha).

According to Vanguard this morning,

A 12-year-old girl, Monday, allegedly committed suicide in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, the police told the News Agency of Nigeria, yesterday.
Mr Alex Akhigbe, Bayelsa Police Public Relations Officer, told NAN that the girl allegedly hanged herself early on Monday.
He said: “Yes, police have confirmed the death of the young girl, who killed herself behind her father’s house early in the morning, yesterday (Monday).
“The police have also evacuated the corpse from the scene and deposited it in the mortuary. The corpse is still awaiting autopsy.
“It was a very strange act and a surprise to see a young girl of that age take her life; it is a real mystery.”
He, however, said that investigations were ongoing in the matter to establish the motive behind the girl’s alleged action.
“Her parents have not talked to the police. We are still investigating to get to the root of the matter,” he said.

Somebody say praise the lord, Halleluyah... that nigga is finally leaving. according to Goal.com..

One Catalan sport newspaper, Mundo Deportivo, today has Petr Cech on the front cover and a story about how he's now at the top of Barcelona's wanted list to replace the departing Victor Valdes. The other Catalan newspaper, Sport, has Valdes and Mourinho on the front cover saying that Chelsea are willing to match the wages he's asking for and sign Valdes on a free from Barcelona next summer.
It's all getting very confusing regarding goalkeepers in Barcelona, every day there's a new claim and every day a new man gets to be at the top of the wanted list. Chelsea interest in Valdes is a new twist on this. Sport say that Mourinho is willing to get the Premier League side to match the €10m a year which Valdes wants. That's a lot of money for a goalkeeper but Valdes is excellent, probably vastly underrated simply because he's so in the shadows at Barcelona.
Sport say there has already been contact and Valdes has reacted positively to it, making Chelsea take the operation all the more serious. The newspaper claim that with speculation growing, nice tie-up with the Mundo cover there, over Cech's future that Mourinho has been checking the goalkeeper market out. Sport claim that Mourinho doesn't have enough confidence in Thibaut Courtois because of his age, and wants a more experienced goalkeeper with experience of winning the biggest trophies.

I think it's starting to sink in now, I say to myself, Guy go find work do. According to news reaching me this morning, The ministry of Educations website has either moved, been temporarily shutdown or they don't have money again to pay for hosting. Read it First hand as i did...
The website of the Federal Ministry of Education, www.fme.gov.ng, is down. Although it could not be ascertained how long it has been down, our correspondent, who visited the website on Monday, had stumbled on the message, “This account has been suspended.’’
No information was placed on the site to tell visitors that it has moved to another domain and no link was provided to redirect those in search of information about the educational system to a new one.
Besides, another website attributed to the ministry online, fmegovng.org, is also “ailing’’ as the message on the site read, “This domain name will be on Godaddy Auctions soon.”

Hmmm.... my own personal Abolore Akande has gone back to school to pursue his dream course LAW.... In an interview with Tribune, he stated that he had always wanted to be a lawyer and has decided to go back to school to study bit... congrats Nigga..

You were said to have pulled out of your Law programme at the Lagos State University to face music. That decision paid off, but you seem not to be happy about it now?
I didn’t pull out because of music; I left school because I was unable to pay my school fees. While I was on the street, I gave hundred percent of my life to music and it paid off eventually.
When I was in school, I was just doing music for fun until I left school. At that point, I decided that I was going to face music passionately and from that point, things changed.

Yessoooo... it's our limpopo master and here is an interview with punch newspaper....

At what point in your life did you decide to go into music?
Music for me started right from when I was in secondary school. Initially, I was playing football but later, I started singing in the church choir. Moreover, my father was a Disc Jockey and I was already listening to a whole lot of music. My musical career took off effectively in 2002 when I emerged winner of Star Quest.
What happened after you won the prize money? Was your brother, Emeka Okonkwo, alias E-Money, rich then?
My brother was very poor at the time we entered for Star Quest. I was the one who helped him. He was our manager and we lived together in Ajegunle ghetto. He did not make money until later. We hustled together.
Did your parents support your decision to go into music?
My mother supported me from the start. My father, like most fathers, was hoping I would study hard and become a doctor or lawyer. He was not in support of my career choice at first but when I started bringingmoney home, he realised that I could actually make money from music. Then, he started supporting and praying for me.
What inspires you on stage?
It is when I see my audience cheering and getting ready to see me, it makes me want to go crazy; it makes me want to do more.
Do you see any other of your music tracks making waves like the hit track, Limpopo?

Bia students is this true? See am not joking with you guyz oh. I am hearing you people are the cause of this prolonged strike, if you don't want to finish school, omo me i want oh.#angryface#.
ASUU president, Dr. Isa Fagge, in a telephone conversation with PUNCH, clearly stated that you guys seem to be enjoying the strike and not bored of sitting at home.“Our students have come out to say they don’t want us to call off the strike until the Federal Government answers us, because they don’t want us to call off now and later we go back to strike again. So, we are heeding the advice of our students,”
“Now, government has pulled out of the dialogue. We thought we were the ones going on strike, but now government has also gone on strike.”There are issues and agreement they can implement without money. Why don’t they begin with those ones?” he said.
Please you people should stop this rough play... #Joking oh#

Woohooo, yes all of you that be paying teachers for answers in WAEC, God don catch una. Waec has signed into law that if you are caught cheating you either face a 5 year jail term or pay a fine of N200,000. The full story below was gotten from the punch..
The Federal Executive Council has approved the amendment to an Act of the West African Examinations Council, part of which will make culprits of examination malpractice to be liable to five-year jail term or N200,000 fine or both.
The Minister of Education, Prof Ruqayyat Rufai, announced this in Abuja on Wednesday while briefing State House Correspondents on the outcome of the weekly FEC meeting. He addressed journalists in company with her counterpart in the Health and Environment ministries, Onyebuchi Chukwu and Hadza Mailafia, respectively.
Rufai said the decision of the meeting, which was presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan, was to “give effect to the revised convention of WAEC, 2003 in Nigeria.”
She said the Council had subsequently directed the Ministry of Justice to take further necessary action on the subject.
Rufai had recently presented a memo to FEC, seeking its approval for the enactment of an Act to amend the WAEC Act, CAP W4, Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2004 with the aim of giving effect to the revised convention of WAEC, 2003 in the country.
