There is nothing a guy can tell me, once I see a guy I knew get married, were no longer friends! For a guy to marry, it just shows you're a woman wrapper, a simp, and will do anything for female validation. As a guy, you should be afraid of married men. They can even go as low as wash women pants for them. They're born fools! Absolute lowlife people! Slaves to society! I spit on all married men's graves! You're all disgrace to manhood!

Product of a broken home. Are you pained by married guys, 😂. You can keep living your anyhow life, but Don't project this nonsense onto others.

As if that will solve anything. The only thing it will achieve is making movement more difficult for innocent people.

God bless who ever is the governor of that state. This is needed for far too long.

That governor is just power drunk nothing more. He should focus on educating and bringing people out of poverty then you'll hardly see anyone patronize pastors.

You are the one with the psychological issue here. Nothing he said is false. You are free to keep living in your delusion but don't attack or try to project that on to others.

Lol bro, try to read properly. Did I say anywhere that I’m selling a used or unboxed one? The picture is just to show buyers what’s inside the box. Or am I supposed to post only the box?

I am trying to help you here. People will hardly buy a brand new even sealed hardware wallet from a stranger on the internet talk less of an unboxed hardware wallet.

CAN is very stupid. Is it only June 14 that people were killed? Maybe they will do more black Sundays when more people get killed in future Sundays since it's only black Sunday they know how to do and will prevent future killings. Fools.

Thank you for this.

I'm also looking for a phone and this was helpful.

I've never heard of Poco brand before, will go and look it up if they're sold locally

Poco phones are hidden gems not all Poco sha aa the F series especially they offer much more value for your buck. Since 2020 when I first researched and bought my first Poco phone (Poco F5) that phone gave me so much for the money I never looked back, coming from samsung.

Gmekx:
Please prepare for a long read.

So, I decided to log back in after three years to respond to this because this is right up my alley. I’m a personal shopper for electronics and gadgets, and I’ve helped people source phones within different budgets.

First things first, your budget.

With the current state of the economy, 300k–400k is not the most comfortable budget if you are looking for a clean flagship phone. But can it still get you a very good phone with a good camera, good performance, and decent battery? Definitely yes. You just have to buy smart and avoid chasing only the name.

Now, about “flagship”.

There is always this constant debate about whether it is better to buy an old flagship or a newer budget/midrange phone, since they usually fall within the same price bracket. To be honest, it depends on the user.

Old flagships will usually give you better build quality, better display, better cameras, better video, and a more premium feel. But newer midrange or upper-midrange phones can give you better battery, newer software, less stress, and in some cases, better value for money.

Let me also add the Nigerian social context. We live in a society where people sometimes judge you based on packaging. Some people would rather hold an old iPhone or Samsung flagship because of the name, even when a less “loud” phone may actually serve them better. So if brand perception is very important to you, that may affect your choice. But if you are not daunted by that and you just want something that works well, then there are better value options.

My honest top pick for you would be a Poco F-series, or the Chinese variants like the Redmi K-series / Redmi Turbo series, if you can buy from a trusted seller.

I know some people may argue because Poco may not sound as “premium” as Samsung, iPhone, or Pixel, but based on your actual use case, heavy browsing, business social media content, pictures, videos, WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, editing, uploading, and general multitasking, Poco F-series or the Chinese Redmi K/Turbo variants make a lot of sense.

Why am I recommending them first?

They are fast and snappy. They do not do too much. You get very strong performance for the money, almost flagship-level speed depending on the model. Battery is usually okay to good, and they generally handle heavy use well.

I’ve personally been using my Poco F-series for over two years, so this is not just theory for me. I also just got a Redmi Turbo 4 16/512, which is basically the Chinese variant of the Poco X7 Pro, for my mum within your budget. For context, I bought a Poco X7 Pro 12/512 for almost 500k. So the Chinese variants can really give you better value if you buy well.

I’ve also attached some pictures taken with my Poco F6 so you can judge the camera output yourself. I’m not saying it will beat every Samsung, iPhone, or Pixel in camera consistency, but for the money, the camera is very usable, especially if you know how to work with lighting.

Another big advantage is maintenance. You mentioned kids and your fear about Samsung screen problems. That fear is valid. Samsung flagship screens can be very expensive to replace. iPhone parts are also not cheap. But with Poco/Redmi Chinese variants, parts are usually cheaper if you know how to source from China or you have someone who can help you source them. So if anything happens, the repair cost may not be as painful as a Samsung flagship screen replacement.

For your budget, you can check the Poco F-series, Redmi K-series, or Redmi Turbo series. Used or refurbished Chinese variants can sometimes give you better value than the global versions.

But please buy carefully. Make sure the network bands work well in Nigeria, Google services are working, the ROM is properly set up, the phone has not been badly repaired, and the seller gives you some form of warranty.

Now, the other options.

Samsung S-series / FE series

Within your budget, you may be looking at Samsung S22, S22+, and maybe S23 FE if you get a good deal. Samsung is a very safe option if you want a more polished camera, better video consistency, better display, and a more premium Android experience. For social media content, Samsung will generally do better than many midrange phones.

But your fear about screen problems is not baseless. If kids are around the phone often, then Samsung flagship screens can become a serious cost issue. Once the screen develops green line, shadow, touch issues, or breaks, repair can be expensive. So if you go Samsung, buy a very clean unit, check the screen very well, and use a strong case and good screen protector immediately.

Samsung A-series

I also have to mention the Samsung A-series, because many people may advise you to just buy a Samsung A-series phone instead of buying a used flagship or a Chinese variant.

But with Samsung A-series, the number matters a lot.

The A0-series, like A05/A06 and similar models, should not really be in this conversation if your focus is strong performance, business content creation, heavy browsing, and long-term satisfaction. They are more basic entry-level phones.

The A1/A2/A3-series can be okay depending on the model, but again, they are not really what I would pick first for your use case.

If you are going Samsung A-series, then you should be looking more at the A5-series, like A54, A55, or newer equivalents. That is where Samsung starts giving you a better display, better camera experience, better build, better software support, and a generally more polished experience.

For your 300k–400k budget, the Samsung A55 would most likely be used, not brand new, unless you get a very good deal or stretch the budget. A clean used A55 can make sense if you want Samsung’s brand trust, good display, decent cameras, software support, and a more familiar Android experience.

But even there, you need to be careful. A used A55 can sometimes cost close to what would get you a stronger used flagship or a better-performing Poco/Redmi K/Turbo variant. So you have to ask yourself what exactly you are paying for.

The A5-series gives you peace of mind, Samsung brand trust, and easier local support. That is a real advantage. But in raw performance and value-for-money, Poco F-series, Redmi K-series, or Redmi Turbo variants can still give you more power for the same money.

Also, Samsung repairs can still be expensive, especially screen repairs. So if you are buying A-series because you want peace of mind, try to get one with warranty. But also remember that warranty can add to your total cost, so calculate everything together before deciding.

So my view on Samsung A-series is this:

If you want Samsung name, warranty/local support, good display, and peace of mind, consider a clean A54/A55, especially A55 if you find one within budget.

But if you want the most performance and value for your 300k–400k, I would still put Poco F-series / Redmi K-series / Redmi Turbo series ahead.

iPhone

For iPhone, your budget will likely get you iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, iPhone 12, and with some luck, maybe iPhone 12 Pro. iPhones are very good for social media content, especially videos. Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and other apps usually handle iPhone camera uploads better than many Android phones.

But with this budget, you have to be careful. Battery health matters. Storage matters. For content creation, I would not advise 64GB unless you are very disciplined with storage. Also check Face ID, True Tone, camera, speaker, charging port, and whether the phone has been opened or repaired before. A badly repaired iPhone can frustrate you.

So yes, iPhone is good, but getting a good iPhone with strong battery, enough storage, and clean condition within 300k–400k may be difficult.

Google Pixel

Google Pixel is really good, especially if you care about photos. Pixel cameras are very strong, and their image processing is one of the best. You can look at Pixel 6, Pixel 7a, Pixel 8a, or Pixel Pro variants if you find a clean one within your budget.

But Pixels are more for enthusiasts, in my opinion. Battery capacity is usually not the best unless you go for the bigger Pro/XL variants. Also, in Nigeria, accessories, repairs, and resale may not be as easy as Samsung or iPhone. Since you already said you have not seen many people using Pixel and you are not conversant with it, I would only advise Pixel if you are buying from someone who really understands the phone and can give proper after-sales support.

Redmi/Xiaomi/Poco

I want to say don’t just buy any Redmi, but I have to explain why. The regular Redmi Note series being pushed around these days are not really what they used to be. I’ve used Redmi since the Note 9 series, and in my opinion, they have fallen off low-key in terms of value and overall feel.

So if you are going Xiaomi, I would rather you avoid the regular Redmi Note series and look more toward Poco F-series, Redmi K-series, or Redmi Turbo series. I would also avoid the Poco M-series if performance is important to you. The X-series can be okay, but if you can stretch to the F-series or the Chinese K/Turbo variants, that is where the better value is.

So my personal ranking for your budget would be:

1. Poco F-series / Redmi K-series / Redmi Turbo series , best overall value, speed, battery, and cheaper maintenance

2. Samsung S22+ / S23 FE , better camera and premium Android experience, but screen repair can be expensive

3. Samsung A54 / A55 , good Samsung experience, better software support and peace of mind, but not the best raw value if performance is your priority

4. iPhone 12 / 12 Pro , very good for social media videos, but battery, storage, and condition must be checked carefully

5. Google Pixel 7 / 7a / 8a / Pixel Pro variants , excellent photos, but battery, repairs, accessories, and resale may be concerns

My final advice: if you want the most practical phone for your money, I would start with a clean Poco F-series, Redmi K-series, or Redmi Turbo series from a trusted seller.

If camera/video polish is more important than speed and repair cost, then look at Samsung S-series/FE or iPhone.

If you want Samsung name, warranty/local support, and peace of mind, then consider a clean Samsung A55, but preferably with warranty.

If photography is your main thing and you don’t mind the Pixel ecosystem, then Pixel is also a good option.

But for your budget and your concern about kids/screen damage, I would personally go Poco/Redmi K/Turbo first, then Samsung/iPhone after.

One last thing, please note that prices of devices fluctuate a lot for reasons best known to the people selling them, and maybe because of RAM/storage shortages too. So don’t just buy based on model name. Buy based on the exact unit, condition, storage, battery, screen, repair history, ROM, network bands, and warranty.

I am a tech enthusiast and I approve this message ✅

bigpriik:
Africa is the only continent in the world that demonises masturbation because of superstitious reasons with no real evidence, yet its the most backward and and least respected continent and people on earth with the worst societies and overly dependent civilizations, i dont take African beliefs seriously because at the end it always turn out to be false.
I am 32 years of age. i started masturbation at the age of 16 after my cousin introduced it to me one evening while we were bathing outside i didnt try it that day because i was shy but I tried it the next day after watching porn on my nokia simbian phone it was very exciting because i just reached puberty and the urge to explore has started building up in me, ever since bro it took me so long to quit i will l later teach guys how to quit but that another day.
Masturbation just like all things has both it good and bad side however the African society has indoctrinated our brains with useless propaganda with no facts but assumptions derived from their fake pastors and spiritualists.as a chronic masturbator of 15 years below are the lies about masturbation very common in the society.

(1) masturbation cause infertility

This one is the biggest lie ever, my cousin who introduced me to masturbation is married now with two kids,this guy is a chronic masturbator he is my boss in the game ,he has lubes,fleshlights just to satisfy himself yet when he married he got his wife pregnant in just a year of marriage,if masturbation causes infertility do you know how many men will be infertile in this age and time, do you know how many men are chronic masturbators?if masturbation causes infertility the rate of infertility in men will be a thing of concern even to the government.

(2) Masturbation cause your penis to shrink

When i hear this i laugh,when i reached puberty at age 16 my penis was naturally big that was were i derived my moniker,i am a natural six inches, yet it didn't reduce because of masturbation,there was a yoruba girl I was dating in 2020, she so much enjoyed sex with me because my dick was big and i last very long because sex wasnt like a big deal to me anymore,even when we broke up she insisted we should keep having sex but no i dont knacking another mans property.

(3) masturbation causes bad luck

My brother if you are broke and poor it because you are not working hard and smart,there is nothing spiritual about it.prayers cannot make your rich ,government cannot make you rich, you will only reap the fruits of your labour , your efforst will determine your result,nothing like village people or spiritual blockage .

(4) masturbation chases women away from you.
The people who introduced me to masturbation are mostly married,if women are running away from you its because you are broke or you dont have confidence and appeal to approach many women as possible so you chances are low,women of this generation are only interested in 20% of men in doesn't matter how badly behaved those men are and they are brutal about it. if you dont level up or toosh up yourself they will so despise infact you may die lonely if care is not taking.

To be continued.

Lmao, imagine writing a book just so you can convince people to masturbate. You are consoling yourself. Keep masturbating

Your comment shows you're still a complete Simp. A notorious Simp at that

Disguise it how you like but It is a man's natural responsibility to take care of and provide for "HIS" woman. Worsening cost of living in today's world is making it hard for men to fulfill this primal role, that and also women with their feminism. so most men today make excuses such as yours and genuinely try to convince themselves otherwise.

Let's revisit the issues Nigerians debated in newspapers and magazines this month around 50 years ago.

Today, let us travel back to 1978 for Alexander Igbineweka’s proposed solution to Lagos traffic jams.

What's your view about this? Could this be the solution to the Lagos state frequent traffick jam?

Source:

If this is the solution to traffic jam then one man eat only 3 times should be the solution to food scarcity. What a stupid suggestion!!

I wouldn't advice anyone to inject this poison into their body. Choose either to be committed to one partner or Abstain from sex or use protection. anything else is playing with fire the only exception is natural herbal medicine.

To buy him Heineken for being a mumu and spending without sense for a girl that asked him to stop coming to her house unannounced?

The s!mp suppose collect 12 lashes for straight 7 days, twice on a Wednesday.

It's easy for any man that was raised by a father who provided everything and didn't allow his wife work to provide for his woman. I mumu sha aa but it's only guys that weren't raised by a real man or from poor homes that would think what I did was too extreme.

Everyman has at one point in their life done foolish things for a girl. Hypocrites will laugh and judge but in secret guys like that do worse.

Your own mumu carry PhD join

I mumu sha aa but it would seem like a big deal to boys that find it hard to feed

Chai, I learnt the hard way. That year Bro, I was paying my girl friend(fiance) 100k monthly, paid her house rent, bought her generator that can carry her AC and buy fuel every week whenever I bought mine, buy her clothes from time to time. I didn't receive shi shi through out the 2 years we dated. I didn't mind because it was a thing of pride for me to be taking care of my girl and all her needs, only thing this girl ever did for me was on my birthday she threw a surprise party for me and imvited family and friends of which I even footed half of the bill. Now that's on the financial side.

I was so in love with this girl I wasn't using my common sense. If we quarreled she would say she needed space and i wouldn hear from her for like 3 or 4 days. She would tell me I should stop coming to her place unannounced(I no gree for that one sha aa). Some weekends she would say she was going for an all girls indoor party. Some times it would be going to the club and I would even give her my car. Chai love is a mental disorder I swear. I paid for driving school. This girl invested literally zero into the relationship except her time and cooking which she doesn't even do all the time. When my eyes started to open was when her brother wanted to leave the country and this girl gave him 500k. I was shocked and the scale fell off my eyes. Then I had a small financial issue and I wasn't able to foot her bills as I used to, she couldn't bear it and told me she was travelling to another state to go stay with her cousin until I bounce back, when she came back I found sex lube in her bag. That was the final straw for me but I didn't wanna leave the r/ship without a replacement, 70% of the love died and she could sense it, i just couldn't leave because I have invested so much in her. I started a relationship with another girl without her knowing and after a few weeks me and my first girl had a small misunderstanding and as usual she said she needed space. Person wey no know say I don't already move on. After a week she came to make up I no gree I told her make she still dey her space because me I don quit the r/ship. She cried and cried and begged and begged, but it was too late.
