There is a spirit called the spirit of excellence which is associated with every Nigerians irrespective of where we find ourselves anywhere in the world. Despite all the challenges we faced as a nation, we have remained tenacious, resilient and break the norms. Adebayo Ogunlesi may not ring a bell in Nigeria like that of Dangote, Adenuga etc but in the UK, he is an icon, a trailblazer in the aviation industry, he is seen someone who broke the jinx and brought the world's second largest airport, The Gatwick Airport and also he bought 4 more all in the UK. Ogunlesi is a man who doesn't believe in making noise or a media freak, he is someone who lets his work speaks for him.

Wats the meaning of this now? Anything u carry come, u use ur head carry am. I see how these modern ladies act, insultive, disrespectful, unfaithful, wasteful generation. You insult a man's pride, even hit him, and u expect him not to react, my dear ur wrong, damn wrong. It's wrong to hit anyone, man or woman, stop this woman bs, if a woman chooses to provoke a man by action or otherwise, she should be ready to face his reaction and the man should also be ready to face the consequences of his actions... It's fair enough. These all don't hit a woman is a scam... Don't buy it.

SirLanko1: Hello House, I got my Redmi Note 5 from Jumia today but I must tell you that it's not 5 note pro. The phone is note 5 AI dual camera. I've been following the reviews of the phones on gsmarena.com before I bought them. Both 5AI and 5 Pro have the same thing (only my few different) from look, chipset, same battery capacity etc. The difference are in camera, 5AI has dual camera has note 5 Pro has but 5AI has AI features (whatever that is, you can get it through Google as we are not in class) also 5AI has 13mp front camera with AI features as well but 5 Pro come with 20mp super selfie though apertures are different. From what I've seen on gsmarena.com, 5AI has quick charge 3.0 while note 5 Pro has quick charge 2.0 (though you'll have to get your adapter yourself to get these).
If what I'm posted is what you've been buying has 5 note pro kindly let me know.
Note 5 pro is india exclusive. This is the real deal. Next time u want from Jumia, check my signature.
gidieberry: u are correct.. so annoying, it will revert ya theme to default while the font will b untouched
U guys are doing it wrongly... Lol.. Apply font,... If it resets theme to default, apply theme again. It'll stay like that and won't reset theme again. Clear cache of theme app. Jboixxx
Ifedith: Download micustomfont from playstore, and ifont. Then download any font u like from ifont, or download ur customized own, theme it with ifont. Go to micustomfont and, go to miui folder, check the folder ull see the font ur themed using the ifont earlier, select the font and apply, reboot and viola.
Jboixxx, grinface98... And anyone else, here is the step to change fonts, working fine for now.
