Abeg is Lampard injured?

Dayokanu, Lampard is still recovering. He's out for Westham game but Terry will feature at Upton park

Game Week 4 deadline is around the corner. Why will stockdale and Jaaskelainen be ineligible at the same time.

Time to hit the market. The league table must have a new look at the top soon

Ibime:
@ Eldee,

Don't hate, participate!

If Drogba is copping more points than a drunk drivers licence, you better hop on the bandwagon.

Besides most of us didn't have DD the first week when he copped hattrick. My margins were made by spotting a gap in the market with the likes of [b]Walcott [/b]and Arshavin.

Other studious fellas like Chamokazzie are copping points on mission to prove that he can be successful without DD, yet you're here complaining. Study to show yourself approved like the Apostle Paul said to Timothy and quit whining. Hehehehehehe

Ibime, I bet you are cracking your brain for the replacement of your injury prone Walcott, aint you lucky to get those points from him.

Would try dedicate some million  seconds to debug the code that would unsit you from that position pretty soon, until then enjoy it while it last

4llerbuntu:
yawn.!! guy what really is your point? if u are trying to do market analysis for chinks say so so we help you outright!!!

besides, if you did'nt notice, your conclusion simply translates to : chinese companies need to be like a regular mobile phone company and not just be churning our crap in a backyard workshop and calling it phone!!!

do u actually need someone to tell you that? or u mean they don't know? samsung is an asian company and they make decent fones!!!!!

tseew!


by the way i was checking out some iphone clones on youtube, meen massive sturvs o. there is one called ciphone, man u need see the thing great clone

so chinese phones now surf the net and support java ehn? na wah o. . . is that an improvment?

4llerbuntu, spot on, the idea if the thread is based on a market research on what the user experience is on chinese phones (unbranded). Yeah Samsung is Asian but you know Samsung is in their own class with Sony Ericsson, Nokia.

Have you seen the ipad clones too, epad, apad and the likes, some of those even have features that apple ipad doesnt.

Having worked with a Chinese telecom equipment vendors,seen the quality with almost ridiculous price of technologies that could come out of china, then I'm of the opinion that the an unbranded chinese phone of today might become an household name in Nigeria soon if users feedback are taking into considerations.

Your comments on your experience will be appreciated. No more yawning right??

Chakaz, your comments are noted.

Thanks guys

Thanks guys for the comments, all well appreciated.

I could summarize from the thread that if the chinese made phones could be of good quality with readily available spares, provision of functions it meant  to provide, Internet, TV etc, easily download-able software/PC suite and above all if there is a Care centre for the chinese brands in Nigeria, then the sky could be the beginning for them as that could help bridge the gap for Nigeria to have close to 100% mobile phone penetration

mcbertin:
the governor is ill-informed, it costs a lot of money to acquire these equipments. It will probably cost an operator like MTN more than 40 million USD and remember this is not a revenue generating equipment.

Mcbertin, 40Million USD for ?? The equipment in question is called LBS (Location Based services), this is integrated into a operator existing network and the Operator or the regulator/ government agencies could track the mobile phones location.

I bet the equipment cost, implementation and what have you doesnt cost a 10th of what Mcbertin mentioned or rather put there are vendors that could even offer such with far less that a million USD.

Thats part of NSE role, this equipment are being rolled out on mobile network not only in the western world but even in the developing countries. Naija we will get there

There were reservation/analysis regarding chances of fielding RVP against BR yesterday and the issue of RVP getting injured was mentioned, I didnt expect to see him start, reason why I wouldnt have him in my team now,

Prof Wenger got this wrong, I would not have expected him to start fragile RVP in a game with hard tackling Blackburn.

Kinezeala:
first it was osaze,now nsofor?
Haha
this is good news o
i just pray he silences all his critics this time around
go on obi my boy i am behind you.
The highest goal scorer this season in the epl has just arrived at upton park
i believe this uprising star would single handedly lift the fortunes of this west london club.

Are we on Nairaland or dreamland??

Guys,

Any one have any idea how updated is the price of the phones list on slot website http://www.slotltd.com/price_list.html

debosky:
Sharrap! Didn't we tell you it was ridiculously premature to be celebrating topping the table in week 1?

I should Sharrap? I was typing a response to you then i realised your team is only good enough for the Championship, thats if you can survive there too.

If you ever get promoted, then maybe we could discuss

Ibime:
Some people are already 100 points behind MEND FC.

Even Sir Elgee is lagging far behind.

It[b] seems obvious that MEND FC is topping all charts this season.[/b]

You are seating on a borrowed chair, you have 5 more days to vacate that seat. You can have the second spot, no wahala with that,ok??

I agree with you OSMO2010, I trust if the quality is improved upon with good customer services, people will be happy to buy as much as it is good value for the cheap phone

Ibime:
Thank you. . . . Im trying to play this awoof wildcard quick quick before they catch me. . . . I hope they wont deduct points later. . .

If you dont want me to report you,  just tell Y, Toure or G.Johnson to get injured overnight, cos you are seating on my seat and the points that separate us is lying wastefully on ma bench, how could i have clicked that sub button 

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=481784.msg6619337#msg6619337 date=1282497493]Omo wetin happen to Villa nau?   .


I am Walcott's biggest advocate on this forum but even i didn't even expect him to score a hat-trick. I must say you where quite observant the thing is he can be a real goal-machine if he decides from here on out to actually shoot at the keeper rather than always trying to square the ball even when there is no one in the box
That wildcard is mainly an advantage when you want to make wholesale changes (6-10 players)so i feel for anyone that is being miserly with theirs! If your team sucks you might as well use it now[/quote]But the wildcard should be active for only 1 game week, Like Ibime mentioned he played the wildcard before the gameweek 2 deadline, so i would expect the wild card not to be active anymore for gameweek 3 deadline, but guess it is still active

NOTE: The second wild card is supposedly active for Gameweeks 23 and 27 , around the January transfer window.

Guess a bug in the EPL is allowing the wild card for 7 days (1 week) or the we are being misinformed by the EPL rule

Criistalz,

Wakawiki FC!

someone shoulda told me your real name instead of your  username would be listed as the manager of the team

@ Ritchboy, You can change the name from the profile page

its a 6-0 nil season.

Newcastle 6- 0 Aston Villa. Who on earth could predict such score line. Now I need at least one of my players to have a groin, calf, or whatever injury
in the next few minutes. Can't afford to waste at least 13 points (Nolan) on the bench

Ibime:
99 points with Rooney, Evans and Ireland left to play. . . . cant believe you guys slept on Walcott this week. . . 

Ibime,  Well done with da wildcard well played.

eldee:
@Galacticos


@v3

Yep . . . but you get one free transfer and four points off for every other transfer for that Gameweek.
You also have two wildcards that you can use to clear your whole squad without any point deductions.

@Eldee, thanks for clarifying the wildcard usage

China becomes world Largest Economy!!!!!!!! Naija which way to go??

SHANGHAI — After three decades of spectacular growth, China passed Japan in the second quarter to become the world’s second-largest economy behind the United States, according to government figures released early Monday.

The milestone, though anticipated for some time, is the most striking evidence yet that China’s ascendance is for real and that the rest of the world will have to reckon with a new economic superpower.

The recognition came early Monday, when Tokyo said that Japan’s economy was valued at about $1.28 trillion in the second quarter, slightly below China’s $1.33 trillion. Japan’s economy grew 0.4 percent in the quarter, Tokyo said, substantially less than forecast. That weakness suggests that China’s economy will race past Japan’s for the full year.

Experts say unseating Japan — and in recent years passing Germany, France and Great Britain — underscores China’s growing clout and bolsters forecasts that China will pass the United States as the world’s biggest economy as early as 2030. America’s gross domestic product was about $14 trillion in 2009.

“This has enormous significance,” said Nicholas R. Lardy, an economist at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. “It reconfirms what’s been happening for the better part of a decade: China has been eclipsing Japan economically. For everyone in China’s region, they’re now the biggest trading partner rather than the U.S. or Japan.”

expecting some insightful comment from Nairalanders on their experience with chinese phone!!!!!!!!

debosky:
Cool your jets dude. . . .DD isn't going to score a hat trick every week so don't get overly excited.

Debosky, asking DD to score a hat trick every game week will be asking for too much, the algorithm (as some guys would put it on Nairaland EPL) doesnt require him to score one on everyweek game b4 feasy11 could win the league here

chamotex:
Ol boy, I begged on your behalf to join league . . . I no tell you say make you come dey top league o.
Don't get too excitied son . . . .just ask Davidylan last season

Uncle, trust the plead is very much appreciated, I dont charge Uncle's for Classes

tboy1:
1 - The GameWeek is not Over
2 - This is the first GW - Even the great Octopus who rightly predicted six games in a row during the WC is sitting comfortable @ the 35 spot He's still coming for u sha

Now I laugh in Chenglish,
tboy, dont tell me you havent heard that the Octopus has been roasted and some guys that just came from Mama Basira canteen describe how sweet the soup was!!!! Dont you worry guys can allow you to play around the bottom half of the table

[quote author=~Borat~ link=topic=481784.msg6580212#msg6580212 date=1281957811]With Rooney still to play, and him being my captain,
I still stand a chance albeit a slim one of taking the lead
Watch this space [/quote]Taking lead I beg your pardon. Dont worry he will get you some points from assist when he lays the passes for Valencia to finish 'em off

Guys,lets take Nairaland EPL Fantasy to another level. BTW classes are on, buy one get one free LOL,

Why will you guys drop Drogba ? Did you follow Ancelotti Pre Match broadcast, he did mention Drogba was 100% fit. the drog himself said he his feeling on top of the world after battling with da injury for years, he was scoring 30+ goals with the injury, Now he is free of injury, watch out for 40+ this season, you berra go use the wildcard sharp sharp.

dayo!!!!! you know its good to have someone to look up to , in it ??

Mykali, welcome to my world, some strategizing going on for da 2nd/3rd week

Drog, all the way, he's having a new feeling he cant explain after the surgery.   Guess there is more hat trick in the offing from Drog

Drog, Malouda and A. Cole just raked 58 points for moi, isnt this fun

Manny4life,
Please, let us know the reason why you call 'em junk.

I bet so many products we use today are manufactured out of China, but with better quality control and good brand, a host of branded phones even Chinese telecom equipment manufacturer(Not limited to Huawei) are competing with Ericsson, Nokia Siemens etc, reason why we are trying to dig deep into what problems people in Naija are facing per the Chinese phones

Stacym, thanks for the comment, Well appreciated ma Sister

In with Feasy11,

thanks all

Hello Fellow Nairalanders,

I have heard lot of mixed feeling per Chinese mobile phone usage in Nigeria. While there is no gainsaying that one could get these phones at budget/very low price compared to the branded phones, I have heard people complain of the phones not being user friendly, unavailability of spare parts not limited to charger, battery, softwares, PC suites and a host of others.

Do you think if the phones are of a comparable quality with the branded ones (Nokia, Sony Ericsson,Samsung etc) with readily available parts, softwares and to cap it all with Service Centres (creating employment)with trained Nigerians to resolve all issues with excellent Customer service put in place,
could the Chinese made phones fly in Nigeria??

Please make your opinion known on this

Links to website detailing phone prices in naija will be appreciated too

dayokanu:
E be like say the guy dey "Fisi" for you wella as you dey defend am up and down.

Chamotex, you no go kill me with laughter man.

enjoy guys

Eldee, Ibime, et al,

I appreciate that you guys have set up criteria to filter out some people from not participating in the Nairaland EPL, I see the reasons of filtering out foreigners but I think making the no of post as the major qualification criterion as it is now isnt that fair even to the Nairaland community. If i were to set the criteria, Guess I would have consider some people that do not have the four/five figures post but whose post has add values to someone else's life. I wouldnt be abusing, harrasing fellow Nigerians here in the name of trying to get my post to 500 or 1000s.
I am of the school of thought that goes with quality not quantity
