The future of gaming? eh no, I don't think so.

greenhulk:
All blackberry with keypads u say? Doesn't the priv have keypad? I'm pretty sure it will keep supporting Whatsapp.

Don't be condescending, you know exactly what he means, also Blackberry currently has only two not very popular devices running on Android so it's understandable if someone forgets to mention them.

Mikkystorm:
so all blackberries won't support whatsapp again? Both BB Z10?

Yes

kuchikau:
I hate girls dat mensturates. How can blood coming fron your BIG T0TO wet ur pants and skirt,yet u claim to be sophisticated. *Smells*

So you hate your mother? ok.

It's all BlackBerrys, not only those with keypads, also Symbian, Java, Android 2.2 and lower, iOS 7 and lower and Windows Phone 7.1 and lower.

Well, who can blame them? Small thing now Nigerian government go declare Nigeria no go area.

The United States Government has listed 20 of Nigerian states as unsafe and asked its citizens living in the country to stay away from them.

The government cited Borno, Adamawa and Yobe as a complete no-go area saying “the ability of the US Mission to provide assistance to US citizens” in those states remains severely limited.

Members of the Boko Haram Islamic sect recently renewed attacks in Borno State, while Fulani herdsmen have scaled up killing of villagers and farmers in Adamawa State.

The travel warning, published on Wednesday, replaced an earlier one dated February 5, 2016.
The Department of State also “recommends against all but essential travel to the following states due to the risk of kidnappings, robberies, and other armed attacks:


The States are:

Borno

Adamawa

Yobe

- the first three as no-go area

Bauchi,

Bayelsa,

Delta,

Edo,

Gombe,

Imo,

Jigawa,

Kaduna,

Kano,

Katsina,

Kebbi,

Kogi,

Niger,

Plateau,

Rivers,

Sokoto,

and Zamfara.

The statement particularly urged vigilance around government security facilities; churches, mosques, other places of worship; locations where large crowds may gather such as hotels, clubs, bars, restaurants, markets, shopping malls; and other areas frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.

The Department of State noted that kidnappings remained a security concern throughout Nigeria, as criminal elements across the country orchestrated kidnappings for ransom; Islamic extremists, operating predominantly in the North, also have been known to conduct kidnappings.
Criminals or militants have abducted foreign nationals, including U.S. citizens, from off-shore and land-based oil facilities, residential compounds, airports, and public roadways.

MOST WORST abi? no wahala, continue.

It doesn't look like an iPhone at all, nothing about that phone says iPhone to me.

9jatatafo:
It would be nice seeing a bank manager working as a teller

Dude that's not a bank manager's job. EFCC's job is to investigate fraud cases, and not only cases involving millions.

9jatatafo:
Hahaha! You expect EFCC that is investiigating cases of billions and hundreds of million to add N5k case to their file.

Yes, it's their job.

Just upgrade to Windows 10

Chartey:
Opera Mini for Android sir.

I use operamini too and it loads alright on my phone, I don't know why you're having this problem.

Chartey:
Chief when you upload pictures, please attach them properly. Some browsers don't show your images well. I've noticed this on all your picture threads.

What browsers are those sir, i haven't noticed anything with any of the browsers i use.

But I saw the news of the price drop on Nairaland yesterday. what are you talking about?

UjSizzle:
If those schools are really behind the failed coup, a name change won't stop anything. We've seen worse organisations use various fronts to run illegal activities. What's a name?

I doubt they have anything to do with the coup, also that's not why the Turkish government is calling for their closure.

Instead of closing the schools, the government should demand that they change their names, so that they're no longer affiliated with Turkey.

Ucbrowser, old stuff.

donem:
why? just being curious

Pythons don't grow big enough to be able to swallow an adult human, maybe if we were talking about an anaconda but not pythons, constrictors aren't even venomous.

armadeo:
Erase that thought.

They would swallow a fully grown man with no qualms.
Google it.

Jesus man, educate yourself.
An anaconda probably would not a Python.

Moz22:
cos they are harmful to humans, do we have to learn how to tame animals like dis bfor we can co exist? Abeg na kill at site sure pass

Unless you're a baby, a Python can't kill you, it won't even try.

RichYoungNigga:
Where are the snakes advocate that gets angry when we kill these harmful shitheads.

That python can kill and swallow a grown ass man, they don't play around

Is that just hyperbole or do you really believe that?

This is old na
