Linda what? Pleaseeee they should have done that earlier, her blog is a sour on the lips of journalism. Mindless lifting without giving credit is shear wickedness. Google should shut down other blogs like hers. By the way,why didn't she get a dormain name earlier? Awoof! Abi! Mtchew, good radiance to bad rubbish.

Its quite a shame if you complain about the battery of this phone. What else do you expect from a 1920mAh battery that's powering a 5", HD(720p) screen, 1.4GHz Octa-core processor and a mali 450MP4(quad-core gpu). It was boldly written and advertised as having such rating. There's always a compromise when it comes to phones like these. You can never have it all, something has to go for the price to come down! Its a nice phone wrt spec to price ratio. For those that own the phone already,I would advise you get a power bank, or toggle between 3G and 2G. 3G when you wanna do some heavy downloading an 2G for chatting: facebook,whatsapp,twitter etc. Just my opinion DON'T FLAME except you're a newt.

Hmmmm situations like these makes HIV look appealing. People be like, damnn it, give that HIV infected ebola curing drug

The blood of patients who recover from
Ebola should be used to treat others,
the World Health Organization has
announced.
West Africa is facing the largest Ebola
outbreak in history and more than 1,900
people have died.
A global group of experts have been
meeting to assess the experimental
therapies that could contain Ebola.
The WHO also announced that Ebola
vaccines could be used on the frontline by
November.
Dr Marie Paule Kieny, an assistant director
general at WHO said: "We agreed that whole
blood therapies may be used to treat Ebola
virus and all efforts must be invested to help
infected countries to use them.
"There is a real opportunity that a blood
derived product can be used now and this
can be very effective in terms of treating
patients."
She said that it was the one positive point
from so many people being infected.
"There are also many people now who have
survived and are doing well, they can
provide blood to treat the other people who
are sick."

skyrocketters: You,ve got no idea of the features in that jet, click the link. the jet has an inbuilt swimming pool and turbine to generate power when its in the air, its also got a bomb detector. click the link to check them out for yourself

This should be one of the best comments on this topic. Swimming pool,turbine,bomb detector. Guy you for add ebola detector
Chai!!! Daris God oooo!!! All these lies the OP is sharing! Daris God ooo!!!!

Just saws this on CNN

oluwasegunfummi: They should collect her blood sample, @ this point she will still have those antibodies in circulation, nigeria shouldn't let her just go, she's an experimental tool, ebola virus only kills 90% of its victims, this woman is part of the remaining 10%, I repeat, she is an experimental tool, make nigeria no dull this one........eko o ni baje oooo

True, they shouldn't let her go just like that. We need to culture her anti-bodies and this can be used to develop a serum to treat and cure ebola. That's the science behind "ZMapp". Zmapp is a serum containing the anti-bodies of mouse infected with the ebola virus.
Now is the time we need our top microbiologist. Let them get to work and earn their salary

(CNN) -- Three vials containing an
experimental drug stored at subzero
temperatures were flown into Liberia last
week in a last-ditch effort to save two
American missionary workers who had
contracted Ebola, according to a source
familiar with details of the treatment.
The drug appears to have worked, sources
say. Dr. Kent Brantly's and Nancy Writebol's
conditions significantly improved after
receiving the medication, sources say.
Brantly was able to walk into Emory
University Hospital in Atlanta after being
evacuated to the United States last week,
and Writebol is expected to arrive in Atlanta
on Tuesday.
On July 22, Brantly woke up feeling feverish.
Fearing the worst, Brantly immediately
isolated himself. Writebol's symptoms
started three days later. A rapid field blood
test confirmed the infection in both of them
after they had become ill with fever,
vomiting and diarrhea.
It's believed both Brantly and Writebol, who
worked with the aid organization
Samaritan's Purse, contracted Ebola from
another health care worker at their hospital
in Liberia, although the official Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention case
investigation has yet to be released.
A representative from the National Institutes
of Health contacted Samaritan's Purse in
Liberia and offered the experimental
treatment, known as ZMapp, for the two
patients, according to the source.
The drug was developed by the
biotech firm Mapp
Biopharmaceutical Inc., which is
based in San Diego. The patients
were told that this treatment had
never been tried before in a
human being but had shown
promise in small experiments with
monkeys.
According to company documents,
four monkeys infected with Ebola
survived after being given the
therapy within 24 hours after
infection. Two of four other
monkeys that started therapy
within 48 hours after infection also
survived. One monkey that was
not treated died within five days of
exposure to the virus.
Brantly and Writebol were aware of
the risk of taking a new, little
understood treatment and gave
informed consent, according to two
sources familiar with the care of
the missionary workers. In the
monkeys, the experimental serum
had been given within 48 hours of
infection. Brantly didn't receive it
until he'd been sick for nine days.
The medicine is a three-mouse
monoclonal antibody, meaning that mice
were exposed to fragments of the Ebola
virus and then the antibodies generated
within the mice's blood were harvested to
create the medicine. It works by preventing
the virus from entering and infecting new
cells.
The Ebola virus causes viral hemorrhagic
fever, which refers to a group of viruses that
affect multiple organ systems in the body
and are often accompanied by bleeding.
Early symptoms include sudden onset of
fever, weakness, muscle pain, headaches
and a sore throat. They later progress to
vomiting, diarrhea, impaired kidney and
liver function -- and sometimes internal and
external bleeding.
The ZMapp vials reached the hospital in
Liberia where Brantly and Writebol were
being treated Thursday morning. Doctors
were instructed to allow the serum to thaw
naturally without any additional heat. It was
expected that it would be eight to 10 hours
before the medicine could be given,
according to a source familiar with the
process.
Brantly asked that Writebol be given the
first dose because he was younger and he
thought he had a better chance of fighting
it, and she agreed. However, as the first vial
was still thawing, Brantly's condition took a
sudden turn for the worse.
Brantly began to deteriorate and developed
labored breathing. He told his doctors he
thought he was dying, according to a source
with firsthand knowledge of the situation.
Knowing his dose was still frozen, Brantly
asked if he could have Writebol's now-
thawed medication. It was brought to his
room and administered through an IV.
Within an hour of receiving the medication,
Brantly's condition dramatically improved.
He began breathing easier; the rash over his
trunk faded away. One of his doctors
described the events as "miraculous."
By the next morning, Brantly was able to
take a shower on his own before getting on
a specially designed Gulfstream air
ambulance jet to be evacuated to the United
States.
Writebol also received a vial of the
medication. Her response was not as
remarkable, according to sources familiar
with the treatment. However, doctors on
Sunday administered Writebol a second
dose of the medication, which resulted in
significant improvement.
She was stable enough to be evacuated
back to the United States and is expected to
arrive before noon Tuesday.
The process by which the medication was
made available to Brantly and Writebol is
highly unusual. ZMapp has not been
approved for human use, and has not even
gone through the clinical trial process,
which is standard to prove the safety and
efficacy of a medication. It may have been
given under the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration's " compassionate use"
regulation, which allows access to
investigational drugs outside clinical trials.
Getting approval for compassionate use is
often long and laborious, but in the case of
Brantly and Writebol, they received the
medication within seven to 10 days of their
exposure to the Ebola virus.
On July 30, the Defense Threat Reduction
Agency, an arm of the military responsible
for any chemical, biological, radiological,
nuclear and high-yield explosive threats,
allotted additional funding to MAPP
Biopharmaceutical due to "promising
results."

improving'

Haute cupcakes — and ramen
soup?
What happens when common foods
meets haute cuisine? The newest
gastronomic trend seems to be
repackaging everyday foods such as
ramen, burgers, and even bottled water
into gilded treats that can cost
hundreds of times more than a common
bowl of soup or dash of H20. What
drives people to pay more than their
month’s salaries for something that
they’ll gobble up in minutes? One
motivation: the experience itself. Katy
Casbarian, owner of Arnaud’s
Restaurant in Louisiana in the US, said
it’s less a matter of money than it is
about celebrating milestones in a
unique and memorable way. The one-
of-a-kind experience of proposing
marriage with the world’s most
expensive dessert, or challenging your
taste buds with rare ingredients, is,
well, priceless for some people. Chef
Angelito Araneta Jr, creator of the
Guinness World Record’s most
expensive sushi (it costs a wallet-
lightening $1,980) agrees. “Life isn’t
just measured by wealth,” said Araneta.
“It is gauged by the ability of someone
to spend their time [in a meaningful
way]. Most of our clients are the 1%
who knows this key to… life.” For
others, the chance to experience luxury
is the real draw. “Anything like gold
gets people’s attention,” said Chef
Jasper Mirabile, owner of Jasper’s
Restaurant in Kansas City. “I mean,
seriously, who doesn't want to eat gold
once in your life?” Inspired by a list of
the world’s most expensive dishes, BBC
Capital went on a mission to find the
priciest things you can consume. Scroll
through the images above to see 10 of
the world’s most expensive food and
drinks.
1. The golden cannoli
Cost: $26,000 with a diamond necklace
and Champagne In 2011, Chef Jasper
Mirabile enlisted the help of baker
Carey Iennaccaro, owner of Kansas
City’s Sprinkled with Sugar bakery, to
create the world’s most expensive
cannoli. Having declared September
“National Cannoli Month,” Chef Mirabile
added this gilded treat to his menu as a
limited offer. Adding to the allure, an
Italian diamond necklace and bottle of
1999 Louis Roederer Cristal
Champagne were included. Today, the
gilded cannoli can be purchased for
$50 without the necklace by contacting
Jasper’s Restaurant in Kansas City in
the US.
2.Meat without the ‘moo’
Cost: $332,000 You’ve eaten
vegetables grown from genetically
modified seeds. Now is your chance to
sample the latest in technologically
advanced beef. Professor Mark Post
from Maastricht University in the
Netherlands grew this hamburger patty
from stem cells in a laboratory. But
don’t grab your wallet quite yet. Right
now, this special burger isn’t available
for sale. Instead, it was created as part
of a research project on
environmentally sustainable food in
2013, funded by Google Chief
Executive Officer Sergey Brin. Should it
go on sale, the price for the burger is
estimated at $332,000. The taste? Close
to meat, but not as juicy, critics said.
3.Stunning noodles… are stunningly
expensive
Cost: 10,000 yen ($110) This bowl of
ramen may appear as simple as any
other noodle restaurant budget dish,
but don’t be fooled. It includes more
than 20 ingredients and Chinese stock,
though the specifics weren’t disclosed
by the restaurant. Chef Shoichi
Fujimaki claims the dish holds 25 years
of experience distilled in a bowl. Does
this reflect in the ramen’s taste? Try it
for yourself at the Fujimaki Gekijyo
restaurant in Tokyo, Japan.
4.Glacier water included
Cost: $60,000 If you think $2 is
expensive for a bottle of water, how
would you feel about paying the
equivalent of year’s salary for one?
Paolo di Verachi created this $60,000
blend using spring water from Fiji
Islands, France, and Iceland glacier
water, mixed with 5mg of gold dust.
The Acqua di Cristallo bottle, also
designed by di Verachi, is made of 24k
gold and is based on a sculpture by
Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani. The
creation was awarded a Guinness World
Record for the most-expensive bottle of
water. A replica can be purchased
online for $3,600. Water included.
5.The sweetest marriage proposal
Cost: $3.95m This particular
Strawberries Arnaud is famous for more
than its Louisiana-grown fruit. Topped
with a 7.09 carat pink-diamond ring,
this cream and strawberry confection
will make a marriage proposal
especially sweet. Arnaud’s restaurant,
located in New Orleans, said the dessert
was created after a customer asked to
place a diamond collar on a turkey for a
special Thanksgiving Day proposal. If
the multimillion dollar price tag is too
much, bring your own ring to the
restaurant. Strawberries Arnaud can be
enjoyed for as little as $8 without the
jewellry.

Dubai is the land of superlatives. It already lays claim to the tallest building and the biggest fish tank in the world. Now the city has unveiled plans to build the largest mall and biggest indoor theme park in what will be the first temperature-controlled mini-city.
The 8-million-square-foot shopping center, dubbed Mall of the World, will include 100 hotels, a medical resort, event facilities, and a theater district—all of which can be shielded from the elements by a large retractable roof.
The project, according to the developer,
Dubai Holding, will be built “in phases in
alignment with the gradual growth of family tourism in Dubai.”

Attracting shoppers from abroad is the goal. The hope is to draw 180 million of them a year by providing enough entertainment, activities, and accommodations to keep the whole family happily consuming without the annoyances of unpredictable weather. The developer also wants to cash in on the growing medical tourism industry, which counts an estimated750,000 people a year from the U.S. alone. The Mall of the World will have a 3 million-square-foot health-care complex providing specialized surgery and
cosmetic procedures. With its emphasis on tourism, the project differs strongly from the American mall, which has largely failed to compete for local shoppers against the convenience and prices of online retailers. But the Mall of the World could face its own problems if worries over Dubai’s real estate
boom have merit. Reuters reports that
financial institutions continue to pour money into property, even though the UAE central bank warned in a recent annual stability report that the real estate market was overheating. In 2008, another outlandish building project—a group of 300 man-made
islands arranged like a world map—came to symbolize Dubai’s financial crisis. If another crash comes, the Mall of the World will be regarded as a harbinger of trouble.

If only you guys knew that Cortana is coming to all nokia/microsoft lumia devices in the windows phone 8.1 Os update.

one answer: sell your car and buy bicycle.

nani.666:
Thanks for Dumbing it down for the guy to understand sir... It's really strange that in this day and age of technological advancements people still choose to show their level of ignorance and illiteracy online....

Sir,you really can blame him. Smartphones are making the dumb more dumb and the smart smarter. That's what you get when people spend time on social media instead of sites that enlighten their mind!!

Marvell23: You really don't know what you are saying guy. IR blaster is not the same as Infrared. The later enables your phone to be used as remote control. And not all high end phones have. Get your facts right

Mr marvel please do some research before posting something that will bare your ignorance in science. IR blaster operates in the Infra-red frequency range and as such uses infra-red. Many flagships especially samsung utilize infra-red finding popular application as remote controllers for TV's and DVD's.

After following the situation in Iraq, one question began troubling me; what caused the hate between shias and sunnis. I was even more troubles when sunni rebels/jihaddist, ISIS, declared an Islamic state in iraq(having shias and sunnis) ,following fierce fighting between Iraq govt forces and the sunni militias,as well as establishing a caliphate spanning from syria to iraq. They have appointed a leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as caliph and "leader for Muslims everywhere".
So I ask, what led to the bitter hatred between shias and sunnis and which do we practise in Nigeria? I found and interesting write-up here about shias and sunnis:

Dear God, this is not the tiwa savage whose sexiness I came to adore. The sex appeal is gone, she looks so thin(more like a model). I don't know what you are doing tiwa please revert to the tiwa that we once adored.

Hotdiamond: you just contradicted your previous post.

Hotdiamond no mind the guy, after much bashing we don manual reset the guys thinking.
Good job ehinaruto. Next time do your own research before posting. Hope yyoue learned your lesson?
Like previously posted AMOLED is a display tech just like LED,LCD,OLED etc while gorilla glass is a protection tech just like sapphire glass and tempered glass. So don't get it twisted.

Lord_Reed: Stop writing what you know nothing about. FYI AMOLED is display technology while Gorilla glass is protection technology so you cannot compare the two and say one is better than the other.

Chai!!! This ehinaruto guy just reeks of ignorance and illiteracy. The human being says AMOLED is better and gorilla glass with all confidence. Young man do your research before coming here to exhibit your stupidity. I expected nothing less from someone who uses a tecno mobile( well I guess smartphones have made the smart smarter and the foolish more foolish). Mtchew.
Good work tecno, but we need the updated MTK SoC.

Now I see tecno though the SoC is so last year but this is a huge step.
I wonder why tecno is always late to the party. Other chinese smartpphone makers have since released phones with these specs and they are very cheap. Anyway like they say,its better late than never.

Android 4.4.2 kitkat is good even though we are now waiting for Android L.
In all tecno can now boast of having a flagship. Thumbs up

PS. Tecno would do themselves a whole lot of good if they provide OTA updates. For me,that's a deal breaker.

Nairaland attacked, wow!! I'm not surprised. I expected it to happen since the admin,seun and mods didn't exercise adequate control of what its members posted on this forum. If seun doesn't address this I fear the worst is yet to come.

Condolence seun,

Abiagirl777: My experience is beyond words,the worst is dat i had to open dis new acc. because i can't rememba my NL password anymore as i permanently left it at'rememba me'
