GloriousGbola: The problem with apple devices is that apple deliberately goes further and further in making them non user serviceable and almost impossible to fix if you are not affiliated with apple
Let anything in your late model mac break, then you will find the ram or ssd is coded to the board and cannot be swapped.
This weekend I opened up a corsair one to swap out the nvme drive. Very tedious but we got it done. Try opening a mac. It's a minefield from the start.
But if you have serious disposable cash and are not the type who upgrades your device, I guess you will be fine
I do get the points you’ve made, and they are valid. For me, however, I never ever break my laptops or my phones. The average time duration I own a laptop is 6-7years. I also back up my MacBook to Time Machine on the first of every month so if anything were to happen, I always have a recent backup ready. I’m quite fused into the Apple “Ecosystem” with my MacBook, an IPad and an IPhone 12 pro max. Once I get a new device, I simply log into my icloud account and all my settings, contacts apps and other info are available. I also understand that Apple products aren’t for everyone. I don’t exchange things with other users like pictures, files and videos (except for WhatsApp, Xender and Sendanywhere apps) so andoid-to-apple interconnectivity issues don’t affect me. You’re also quite right about upgrades- upgrading a MacBook can be quite tricky. I have personally only once upgraded my previous MacBook (a 2012 MB Pro) that I used for 10years. I swapped the old HDDrive for an SSD and replaced the battery (the original battery still held 4 and half hours life after 10years of use). My friend who tried a system upgrade ended up crashing his. He had to take it to a service centre before it was sorted out.
pocohantas: Lol. Not at all. I love apple phones, I hate their laptops.
Have you tried a 2019 13 inch M1 MacBook Pro? 18 hours on a single charge. Smooth operation on any application installed. Beautiful machine and the Best laptop I’ve ever owned.
missbond007: Nnanna Okoye is the CEO of skincare brand, Youtopia. As expected, a party was thrown in her honour and she came out decked in this expensive dress. The David Koma dress which has cutout, mesh panels is worth almost N1,000,000.
Rokiatu45: No man is asking three weeks after his woman gives birth for se.x
When I was doing a posting in the O&G dept of a hospital I did my housemanship, a man whose wife had delivered 4 days earlier asked when we wer discharging his wife because konji was disturbing him.
ModestGal: She has no explanation than to tell me im stingy and i should get a good phone
You don’t owe anyone any explanation. It’s your life, your money, your decisions. Do what makes you happy. Buy the phone you want to buy.
I live my life the way I want to. When I buy an item, I buy it because it’s what I want, not because of what people will think. I’m on my 3rd iPhone. I have my personal reasons for using them. They are easy to use and the software and interconnectivity with my iPad and MacBook is seamless. I often hide the Apple logo because I don’t even want people to know I’m using one. I do realize that not everyone likes iPhones or the Apple brand entirely, and that is ok. I’ve used Android phones before, and I disliked every moment I used them.
I once read the biography of a young American tech Billionaire who could afford literally anything in this life but preferred riding his cheap bicycle as his primary transportation within the city and traveling economy class whenever he needed to take a flight. He wasn’t a miser, in fact he constantly gave his money away to charities. He just enjoyed living life simply.
Not long ago Sadio Mane (former Liverpool football Legend) was photographed with a cheap old mobile phone that was being held together with rubber bands.
The bottom line is you don’t need to explain yourself to anyone. Within the limits of the law and your conscience, live your life as you wish.
buygala: Advice your uncle to keep a low profile and avoid cruising around in any of those mentioned cars, or any very expensive vehicle at that, unless he has multiple armed security personnel who can guard him 24/7..Even at that sef, his security isn't still guaranteed...Many VIPs have been killed or abducted in Nigeria despite having armed security with them.
Too many criminal elements abound in the country now, looking to make a fast buck by kidnapping or/and robbery...no need drawing unnecessary attention to oneself by going around in these flashy vehicles....
In fact I won't be shocked if some of these criminal elements are on this forum shopping around for lucrative targets to rob or kidnap.
Yes, I know that in 1st world countries, the vehicles you mentioned are not really ostentatious vehicles.. But in Nigeria where area boys fit begin reason your matter just because you buy Toks 2010 Highlander, advice your uncle to pipe low and enjoy his life quietly.
You spoke my mind I swear I will never buy a 2022 benz G63 or 2022 Lexus LX600 because of the insecurity in this country even if I had $10bn in my account.
Abeg, even though 60yrs is a milestone age, advise your Wealthy Uncle against buying any of these cars.

Benz Are Taxis In Germany - Portable Mocks Nigerians Bragging With Benz (Photo, Video)
Popular Nigerian singer, Portable, has mocked Nigerians who brag about owning Mercedes Benz car in Nigeria, IGBERETV reports.
The Zazu Zeh crooner who travelled to Germany, said the luxury car which many Nigerians take as a symbol of class and status status, is used as taxi in Germany.
He shared a video of himself saying this in Düsseldorf, Germany. He captioned the video on his Instagram handle;
I think the amount allocated to Lagos is wrong. Dangote has been doing a lot of business and paying so much tax to Lagos government, the money should be deducted and given to Kano before hunger finish hi brothers up north
A whole Kano, with over 10 million people in population is doing only 40 billion with Edo sitting on top of Kano, looking over its head
Bini no dey carry last abeg
South west #972 billion North West #174 billion Only? Haba, upon all the landmass, and small South west is still beating them silly?
Lagos should just buy over Yobe state
Proudly Lagosian
I served in Kano in 2011/2012. The biggest challenge to generating IGR in Kano is that Kanoman no dey gree pay tax
