deejay_harry1: these are the faults one encounters gradually with an mtk device... i always warn against this.. not only tecno, but all mtk

That is not true! You encounter such with gadgets having other chips too. I have seen popular brands with popular chips DOA (dead on arrival). The problem is not only the fault but the handling of the whole issue. The Nigerian system doesn't help matter at all. It is not always very easy, and/or straight forward to get a warranty issue resolved in Nigeria.

Politics › Re: Imagine! Radio And Television Home Use Fees by Ilaje44(m): 7:46pm On Jan 02, 2014

saintneo: UK is the only country that runs TV licence at about £140 year per owner for a maximum of about 15 TVs. In addition TV licence covers any LIVE program aired in the UK; in other words, you are not permitted to watch any live video broadcast using your TV, Computer(Desktop and Laptops), Tablets, Phones, YouTube, Internet, anything LIVE.

The punishment for this is about £1000 fine.

The UK is not the only country that does that. As a matter of fact, there are 3 method of funding used in Europe. State media group are funded with levies, while private Broadcasting are funded on either subscription fees or through Advertisement. I do not know what the constitution says about the funding of broadcasting corporations in Nigeria, but I know the local government have been collecting radio and tv fees as far as I can think. I remember in the 70/80s that they always come in your house to control if you have paid. If you haven't paid, your TV set would summarily be confiscated. The old badagry local government (Ajeromi/Ifelodun, Ojo, Badagry?) used to be rigorous with collecting the fees, while the old Mushin LGA (Somolu, Kosofe) was not as rigorous.

saintneo: However, bringing this culture to Nigeria is exploitation. We hardly have good programs aired by our local stations. So why should an LGA embark upon this kind of idea?

Sometime in the past, some touts claiming to represent Enugu North LGA sold stickers to vehicles with car stereo inside. Thanks to the removable car stereo, I evaded these touts.

Everyday, the government is looking for ways to milk the citizenry. Soon, LGAs will embark upon Vehicle Parking Permits.

However, the question we the citizens should ask is what are the benefits of these permits/licences? How would we ensure that the money is appropriately utilized? And who the fuçk did the government consult before embarking on these licences?

I think the questions you are asking above are the right way to go about it instead of shouting APC are rogues like some young people here are doing. I think the money should not go to the local governments, rather the broadcasting organisations.

Politics › I Wish Nigeria... by Ilaje44(op): 4:00pm On Jan 02, 2014

I want to see how the APC would be able to transform Nigeria. And I wish that the PDP takes over in Lagos, because according to the Lagos PDP and millions of Lagosians, APC in Lagos has only been an elitists government. I wish for a government of the masses for Lagos. Obanikoro, over to you. What do you think people?

Bandit C.:
Isn't Samsung a korean company. What is with the "fake" korean remarks?

Or are there now two Samsung companies in Korea, one real and one fake?

My guy, the fake Samsung you bought isn't from Korea but China.

Next time, learn how to read phone specs properly to even understand what you are attempting to buy.

I don't know about Nigeria but all mobile phone retailers always have an exemplar of the phones they sell on display for customers so that they can go through it before purchasing.

If they display something different from what customers receive in sealed packets, then it's a crime.

You are probably not familiar with Nigeria. It is a crime infested place. Trust is a virtue that is really hard to get in Nigeria. Those who shout God the loudest would be the one to scam you. They will still have the effrontery to go "sow" part of the fraud money to "God" in their various religious houses. By the way, I too was scratching my head about what he meant by "made in Korea" being fake. I mean by that statement, Samsung, a Korean company would be fake itself.

tony9k: While it is a big challenge to prevent individuals from displaying racist tendencies the major issue is how the law or governments respond to such behaviour. In the two countries it is a crime to be racist and there have been numerous cases of prosecution. Can we say the same thing about the law in African countries on display of tribal tendencies or nepotism. It does not appear to be a criminal act. The tribal comments displayed on NL is unbelievable. Just a food for thought.

You are a wise man! Tell them! A US President or a British Prime Minister would have resigned if he/she had said a part of the population of his Country is the bed rock of his government. Nigerian societies are in many aspects very homophobic and unenlightened.

These are the kind of analysis we need on this type of forum not those types that sound like something from someone that has never crossed the four walls of a school.I ain't saying this cos it favours Tecno overall but because it is unbiased and clear for all to see.

Techno may beat Samsung on paper by comparing these specifications. However, if you have worked with the OMAP and MTK chip side by side as daily drive, then you will understand. Try to work with the Samsung and Techno products for a month, and come back with a honest feedback. You will be surprised how inferior that Tecno really is. There is a reason why Samsung is a global player, and Tecno is (still) a local gamer.

No, he is not enlightening anyone, rather he should enlighten himself. Whether Samsung or Apple or Nokia, it doesn't matter, because most of these phones are assembled in China, India etc. There is a marked quality difference between Tecno and Samsung. Besides, Samsung got a name, and that for a reason. Tecno is cheap because they actually use cheaper parts. You just can't compare a Samsung to a Tecno. The difference is verrrrry CLEAR.

Samsung may not have paid you to write all these, but to say Samsung won't do such is a fallacy and a major evidence that you are not conversant with the development in the world of technology. Samsung has indeed been found guilty to pay people to bad mouth their competitors. And the other evidence that you're lacking in information is your allusion that Apple sued them for their software innovations. If you were in the know, you won't have written such an ignorant accusation. Perhaps you should read more about the real legal tussles between Apple and Samsung, and Nokia and Samsung instead of relying on Computer Village Square talk.

Decryptor: I read the news earlier on this morning. To tell you the truth, Hausa people are not meant to drive vehicles for any reason. They break the rules of driving, reckless, and flout traffic laws and try to beat checkpoints. They are better off pushing carts and riding donkeys.

Not only Hausa people if you are sincere are not worthy to drive a vehicle. As matter of unfallacious fact, the overwhelming majority of vehicle driver in Nigeria are CLUELESS about driving. A lot of the accidents in Nigeria are mainly due to the inadequacies of the road users and the lackadaisical traffic and general law enforcement seen in Nigeria. Nigeria has sadly no institutions of state. Every damned thing is wallowing in corruption.

Politics › Re: Balancing The Budget: Kano-State Vs FG by Ilaje44(m): 4:24pm On Dec 26, 2013

slydog: The op should change the topic of the tread, a balanced budget is one where recurrent and capital expenditure are equal.

Notwithstanding, developing economies like Nigeria don't need balanced budget, neither do we need budgets skewed towards recurrent expenditure. We need budgets where at least 65percent is spent on capital project.

That's very wrong. A balanced budget is one where your earnings equal your spending. A budget that is not balance need to be balanced, and there are several ways to achieve that e.g. Borrowing or selling off Governments assets. When you earn more than you spend, then we talk of Budget surplus.

patriotic007: In countries where matured democracies are practiced,the opposition join hands with the ruling party after the elections to move the country forward,....But in Nigeria the opposition fights the ruling party for every seconds that makes up the 4yrs,....this is not good for development because the ruling party spends useful time and resources in fighting the opposition back,thereby neglecting some of its core duties,....At the end the masses are at the recieving end

In what countries does that happen? Could you be kind to give one or two examples? FYI, the parties are termed OPPOSITION because they OPPOSE the ruling party. You Nigerians loves to talk about what you know little or nothing about like you are thesed in them. I believe most time when the opposition and ruling parties join together to work out a common solution in these socalled matured democracies, the country's existence had been threatened e.g. War.

Politics › Re: Fashola Should Learn From Jonathan’s Good Governance – PDP by Ilaje44(m): 12:47pm On Dec 06, 2013

Goddex: Yea, really, which is better managed between Abuja (GEJ & PDP) and Lagos (Fashola/Tinubu & APC)? Remember, Lagos was again recently ranked 4th worst city to live in in the world after 14yrs of the duo in power. It is still very dirty and cannot boast of basic pipeborne water as most cities despite huge IGR.

Abuja, despite not being overcrowded and the very huuuuuuuuge federal allocations, still battles with providing the amenities you are criticizing Lagos for. Actually, no Nigerian political party has done the worth of the money they administer in Government. They are all mediocres! However, GEJ (the PDP) is the epitome of wastefulness and mediocrity. Some call him clueless and they may not be far from the truth. Watch his meeting with Obama, his interviews with CNN's Amanpour (before he began acting as and after he became President), his recent presidential chat (common stealing is not corruption) with Nigerian journalists etc. That guy is just not worth to be a president. Even Shagari was not this daft.

Concerning the topic, I do not think Fashola has anything to learn from Jonathan. If Jonathan indeed has been tolerant and harmonious, his PDP party would not have witnessed the rift it's gone through. There is absolutely nothing to learn from Jonathan.

However, him becoming the president alone wont get things solved, because Nigeria is a terribly difficult country to administer. There must be a total overhaul of the system.

Do you speak Yoruba? If you do, what is "WAY, ROAD, PATH etc. pp." in Yoruba? The ona in your name has to do with the DEITY of the WAY (TRAVELLER's PROTECTOR), rather than the road itself protecting you. For instance, in ONAFADEKEMI, there is the ROAD, the CROWN, and the YOU being protected/cared for. ONA cared for YOU with the help of the CROWN. This means the OLUONA (the Gods) cared for YOU through the CROWN (OBA = KING), which could be understood to mean that you had a SAFE journey.
