At the end of 2016, WhatsApp ended support for Windows Phone 7, iOS 6, and Android 2.1 and 2.2 . Around the same time, the Facebook-owned communications service also pushed back its end-of-support dates for several other platforms - BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 10, Nokia S40 and Nokia Symbian S60 - to June 30, 2017.
Now, WhatsApp has again revised its plans to switch off its service on several operating systems.

WhatsApp will, as previously announced, discontinue availability for Nokia Symbian S60 users from June 30, 2017. However, it has significantly extended its support for those with Nokia S40 devices by 18 months; those users will now be able to continue using the service until December 31, 2018.

BlackBerry OS and BlackBerry 10 devices have also received an extension; rather than ending support at the end of this month, WhatsApp will keep working on those devices until December 31, 2017.

The end of the year will also bring the end of support for Windows Phone 8.0, but Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 10 Mobile devices will continue to be supported beyond that date.

Android users have the longest support period to look forward to. WhatsApp says that it will continue to support Android 2.3.7 - which was released in September 2011 - until February 1, 2020. There are plenty of users in emerging markets still using ancient versions of Android and who cannot afford to regularly upgrade their devices, and they'll no doubt be relieved to learn that they'll be able to carry on using WhatsApp for almost three more years.

You haven't told us the network you are using. You need to set your preferred network type. If you are using 4G, set it to 4G only. Else If you are using 3G, set it to 3G only. Else If you are using 2G, set it to 2G only.
That should solve your problem.

An Igbo scholar, Dr. Samuel Okafor, has made one-time Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, look so small and uneducated by using facts and figures to demolish the claims hemade in the controversial August 8 article, “The Bitter Truth About The Igbo”, which set off a storm that almost threatened Igbo-Yoruba relations.

In the first part of an article entitled “The Lies of Femi Fani-Kayode”, Okafor, who has a First Class in History from the University of Nigeria Nsukka and then did a Ph.D in Nsukka on scholarship, dismissed Fani-Kayode as a “half-baked intellectual.” He then proceeded, point by point, toaddress what he termed “the most reckless amongst the tangle of reckless comments spewed by Femi, a character who with each punch of his keypad stresses his severely unwell conditions of logorrhoea, delusions of enlightenment, history and sociology – amongst others.”Below are Okafor’s words:FEMI AND HIS SEVERELY IGNORANT LIES:•Femi Lies About the Yorubas Being Nigeria’s Earliest Graduates:From his myopic bubble Femi FaniKayode claims the Yoruba were the first to acquire Western education; the first ever known record of a literateNigerian in the English Language is the narrative of an Ibo slave who regained his freedom and documented his life history as a slave from the time he was 11 years old in present day Ibo land till the time when he gained his freedom in the middle of the 18 th century.

He later married an English woman and had 3 children. He died in 1795.Femi, a basic Google-research will do you good here; check out the name, Equanoh OLAODAH.

Further Femi claims that the Yoruba were the firstlawyers and doctors in Nigeria. This is again a bigfalsehood. The first Nigeria doctor was an Effik man Silas G. Dove who obtained a medical degree from France and returned to practise medicine in 1840 in Calabar. This fact can also be verified from historical medical records in Paris.

I would also ask that you google the name BLYDEN – Edward Wilmot BLYDEN – an educatedson of free Ibo slaves who by the mid-19th century had acquired sound theological education. He was born in Saint Thomas in 1832. He is one of the founding missionaries that established the Archbishop Vining church in Ikeja. Before the next time you succumb to your long-running battle with logorrhoea, Femi please do some research.What about the third president of a free Liberia – President J JRoyle – again, a man of Ibo descent.Please take some time to do some research so that we can discuss constructively. It is wrong to peddle lies to your people.

It is academic fraud to knowingly misrepresent facts just to score cheappoints with people who do not have the disciplineto do research and accept anything you pour out simply because they say you are well educated. To again quote the great Nobel Prize Winner in Economics Joseph Stiglitz; Femi fits into the category of third rate students from first rate universities with an inflated sense of self-importance.

Let’s go on!Who was the first Nigerian Professor of Mathematics – an Ibo man – Professor Chike Obi– the man who solved Fermat’s Last Theorem. He was followed by another Ibo man, Professor James Ezeilo, Professor of Differentail Calculus and the founder of the Ezeilo Constant. Please dosome research on this great Ibo man. He later became the Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria Nsukka and one of the founders of the Nigerian Mathematical Centre. Who was Nigeria’sfirst Professor of Histroy – Professor Kenneth Dike who published the first account of trade in Nigeria in pre-colonial times. He was also the firstAfrican Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan. Who was the first Professor of Microbiology – Professor Eni Njoku; he was also the first African Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos.

Anatomy and Physiology – Professor Chike Edozien is an Asaba man and current Obi of Asaba. Who was the first Professor of Anatomy at the University College Ibadan? Who was the first Professor of Physics? Professor Okoye, who became a Professor of Physics at theMassachusetts Institute of Technology in 1960. He was followed by the likes of Professor Alexander Anumalu who has been nominated for the Nobel Prize for Physics three times for his research in Intermediate Quantum Physics. He was also a founding member of the Nigerian Mathematical Centre. Nuclear Physics and Chemistry – again another Ibo man – Professor Frank Ndili who gained a Ph.D in his early ’20s at Cambridge Univesity in Nuclear Physics and Chemistry in the early ’60s. This young Asaba man had made a First Class in Physics and Mathematics at the then University College Ibadan in the early ’50s. First Professor of Statistics – Professor Adichie who’s research on Non-Parametric Statistics led to new areas in statistical research. What about the first Nigerian Professor of Medicine – Professor Kodilinye – hewas appointed a Professor of Medicine at the University of London in 1952. He later became the Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria Nsukka after the war. What about Astronomy – again another Ibo man was the first Professor of Astronomy – please, look up Professor Ntukoju –he was the first to earn a double Ph.D in Astronomy and Mathematics.

Let’s go to the Social Sciences – Demography and statistical research into population studies – again another Ibo man – Professor Okonjo who set up the first Centre for Population Research in Ibadan in the early ’60s. A double Ph.D in Mathematics and Economics. Philosophy – Professor G D Okafor, who became a Professor of Philosophy at the Amherst College USA in 1953. Economics – Dr. Pius Okigbo who became a visiting scholar and Professor of Economics at the University of London in 1954. He is also the first Nigerian Ph.D in Economics. Theology and theological research – Professor Njoku who became the first Nigerian to earn a Ph.D in Theology from Queens University Belfast in Ireland.

He was appointed a Professor of Theology at the University College Zambia in 1952.I am still conducting research in areas such as Geography where it seems a Yoruba man, Professor Mabogunje, was the first Professor. I also am conducting research into who was the first Nigerian Professor of English, Theatre Arts, Languages, Business and Education, Law and Engineering, Computer Technology, etc.

Nigerians need to be told the truth and not let the lies that Femi Fani-Kayode has been selling to some ignorant Yoruba who feel that to be the firstto see the white man and interact with him means that you are way ahead of other groups. The Ibo as The great Achebe said had within a span of 40 years bridged the gap and even surpassed the Yoruba in education by the ’60s. Many a Yoruba people perpetually indulge in self-deceit: that they were the first to go to school; to be exposed to Western education; that they are academically ahead of other Nigerian cultures of peoples.

Another ignorant lie.As far back as 1495 the Benin Empire maintaineda diplomatic presence in Portugal. This strategic relationship did not just stop at a mere mission but extended to areas such as education. Scores of young Benin men were sent out to Portugal to study and lots of them came back with advanced degrees in Medicine, Law and Portuguese Language, to name a few.Indeed, some went with their Yoruba and Ibo slaves who served the sons of the Benin nobility while they studied in Portugal. These are facts that can be verified by the logs kept by ship owners in Portugal from 1494 to 1830. It is kept at the Portuguese Museum of Geographic Historyin Lisbon.Why then would several Yoruba people peddle all these falsehoods to show that they are ahead educationally in Nigeria? The true facts from the Federal Office of Statistics on education tell otherwise, showing that 3 Ibo states for the past 12 years have constantly had the largest number of graduates in the country, producing more graduates than Ondo, Osun, Ekiti and Oyo states. These eastern states are Imo, Anambra and Abia.Yet he calls Ibos traders. Indeed, the Igbos dominate because excellence dominates mediocrity – truth.

Let me enlighten this falsehood’s mouthpiece even further: before the civil war Ibos controlled and dominated all institutions in the formal sector in Nigeria from the universities to the police to the military to politics:•The first Black Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan was an Ibo man•The first Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos was an Ibo man•The first Nigerian Rector of the then Yaba College of Technology was also an Ibo man•The police was run by an Ibo IG•The military as a professional institution was also run by elite-ilk Ibos.Facts can never be hidden. To be first does not mean you would win the race; let us open up all our institutions and may the best man win. Let us not depend on handouts or privileges but on heard work. Let us compete and give the best positions to our brightest – be it Ibo, Yourba or Fulani, and then we shall see who is the most successful Nigerian.

I find it difficult not to respond to some of these long-held lies that are constantly being peddled by Yorubas. One is that the Yoruba have the largest number of professors in the country. I would again ask that we stick to facts and statistical records. The Nigerian Universities Commission has a record of the state with the largest number of professors on their records and as at 2010 that state is Imo State followed byOndo State and then Anambra State; the next state is Ekiti and then Delta before Kwara State. I am sure you Yorubas are surprised. When you sit in the South-West do not think others are sleeping but I wish to address another historical fact and that is who were the first Nigerians to receive Western education.

It is important that these issues be examined in their historical context and evidence through research be presented for all to examine.I have continued my research for as the great sociologist and father of modern sociology – Emile Durkheim – put it, the definition of a situation is real in its consequence . What this simply means is that one must never allow a perceived falsehood to become one’s reality and by extension individuals who accept a defined position act as though the situation is real and apply themselves in that narrowly defined perspective.Why is this important to state it is because for long the Yoruba have peddled lies that have almost become accepted as the truth by other Nigerians but it is important that we lay down the facts for others to examine and come to their own conclusion for facts are facts. Let’s go back to education. Historically, Western education resulted as a product of indigenous ethnic groups interacting with the whites through trade. The dominant groups sold slaves, ivory gold and a host of other products to their European counterparts in exchange for finished goods – wine, tobacco, mirrors, etc.The Bini who were the dominant military force from the 15th to the 19th century raided and sold other ethnicities to the Europeans.

Top on the list of those they sold were the Yoruba, Ibo and Igala. Various other ethnicities suffered as a result of the Bini military expansion. And the Benin Kingdom stretched from present-day Benin up to what is now geographically referred to as Republic of Togo. Indeed, the influence of the Benin Empire extended to the banks of the river Niger to present-day Onistha. There are huge Yoruba settlements in the Anioma part of Delta State who fled Yoruba land as a result of these attacks and constant raids. Yes, there are Yoruba people who are currently living with Ibos in the Ibo-speaking part of Delta and they are full citizens of the place no one refers to them as strangers and there is no talk about the Ibos being the host community like we hear from the Governor of Lagos State. But let me return to research.

Slaves were moved from the hinterland to the coast and many were sold through Eko to the New World. These slaves were the first to encounter the Europeans and by extension their way of life – this included education in a Western sense. The Bini King had taken pains to establish a diplomatic presence in Portugal and the relationship developed into areas that extended beyond trade in the late 15th century and lasted well into the early 19th century.

Scores of young Bpni youth were sent to Portugal and studied there, coming back with advanced degrees in various disciplines. The next set of people to receive Western education were the slaves themselves. Some of them managed to buy their freedom and develop themselves further.For the Ibo it does not matter who your father is; the question is: Who are you? Who was Obasanjo’s father? Was he the most educated Nigerian? I am sure the answer is no.

Yet this Great Nigeria led this nation two times as a military Head of State and as a civilian President. What about GEJ? Who was his own father? Was he the first Nigerian to go to London? The answeris no. In fact, he had no shoes, yet he is fully in charge. So it does not matter if your father was the first Lawyer or first Doctor in Nigeria but rather what matters is what an individual does with the talents the Almighty has given to him. Let us open up Nigeria for competition. That is the solution to our problems. Those who want privileges keep reminding us that their fathers were the first to go to school in London. Every generation produces its own leaders and champions. Like Dangote who is the biggest employer of labour in Nigeria today and the richest man in Africa. Was his father the first to go to study in London? Yet he is the master of people whose parents gave them the best. My brothers, the answer to the Nigerian problem is that we should establish a merit-driven society.“I get am before” no be property.

Are you ok? You are depending on the Nigerian govt., to 'still protect life and property owned by Igbos,' if today the Igbos get their Biafra? Are you going to hold a gun to their heads, to compel them to offer you that protection? Tell us, o!

Yes cos it's done everywhere. Days of abandoned property is over. This isn't the 60s or 90s. The government knows this.

What de fu*k!!. We have industries owned by Indians, Pakistani, Germany and even Americans scattered all over Nigeria. So I don't really know were all these cheap blackmail are coming from. The business owned by the Igbos are legal and not illegal. Even if Igbos have their Biafra, what ever is left of Nigeria Government will still protect life and property owned by Igbos.

They are already too late. They are way far behind. I mean what are they going to release we haven't heard before. They should have focused on Symbian OS. That way customers will have choice.

The he goat NNAMDI KANU is a scam who must have been paid heavily to whine mouth anyhow, u all know when war starts which we don't pray for he will fly out leaving his ipob

lemme ask y will Dia ever b unity when in Igbo we have IPOB, MASSOB, OGHANEZE NDI IGBO, lolz everybody wan chop national cake.

we Igbo's in north are against ipob!!!


nobody should ever tell us to come back home cos we have made enough investments here which eventually if we come back will be eaten by gullible Igbos

don't b surprise that those telling us to come back home are those depending on us for feeding. I tire ooo

I believe Dis ultimatum will b resolved before 1st October

I stand with ONE NIGERIA

Those living in the north are always afraid of coming home, they even find it difficult coming home during festive periods. That's because those living in the north are generally regarded as the lazy ones. We at home send them money to come back home and still give them money to go back. Even at the quit notice given to them by northerners . Those at home are sending bus to them, to enable them come back home. Young/old lady you are afraid of coming back home because your father have never really archived anything ever since he left the south-eastern to the northerners. Infact he is afraid because all his peers at home have been successful. Afraid of the unknown. All the major markets are here in the South East. You come and buy and go back and sell, so I don't really know were you got the idea those at home depend on you for feeding, when even 80% of youths at home can boost of large money in their accounts. If you like come back home, if you like stay, how dose it affect my wallet.

blackberlin:
You Igbos have a history of starting problems you cant finish. When Nnamdi Kanu was calling Nigeria a zoo and every other tribe animals, how many Igbo elders stood against him?

Now the continuous tribal insults has annoyed the Hausas who are known for being quick to anger and you are still looking for a way to drag other tribes into it when the poop is smelling on your own bodies.

Nnamdi Kanu is the cause all of these nonsense. You people are very stupid and full of hate. You insult your hosts whenever you thrive in their land. Eze Ndigbo of Kano, of Ibadan of this of that and yet you cannot allow such in your region. Your problem is greed and hate.

And you are not different. Our culture and ur culture is not the same, even if we give any of our kinsmen Eze Ndigbo of Aso-rock thats non of ur business. Did we complain of their Quit Notice. We are waiting for October 1st. Your problem is hypocrisy. Probably you are an Afonja. Everybody should go back to their lands.

I said to serve Nigeria is not by force. That's because I never trusted this country. The national pledge was forced on all of us.

how can u see it? When poverty has blinded your eyes.. Yinmu.. If it's easy to point fingers go and point na.. Tell me which of the companies that dangote is handling isn't doing well? If no other business man wants to think outside oil and hotel.. Let him continue..

Can you define poverty? Did I say all non of his companies are doing fine. People like you don't think business but come online to insult legit business men. Don't limit yourself.

Wait! wait! DANGOTE this, DANGOTE that, those with money are quick to know when power have shifted. He did these during the PDP administration and now the APC. I have no problem with someone trying to expand his business, but I must raise my voice when I believe Nigerian Government favors a particular individual to the extent they make it so easy for him to acquire anything he points his finger. I read News-papers and I never saw a page that's says Peugeot was for sale.

That's it!why warn him in the first place. An outright sack is what is needed. You see where the problem with you Nigerians?

Yes he was warned. The main purpose of the parents was to take the matter to the school management. The next might be a report to the police.

nkwuocha:
Lmao.
I believe you may be one of those private university students. "You mean go home and tell your parents? "

A lot of females play around lecturers all over the world. Here in Nigeria, they play around randy lecturers willingly and unwillingly. My personal experience alone while still in the university made me understand that many lecturers here in Nigeria are useless and lacks professional ethics. By extension, a lecturer is suppose to be a student counselling staff. When a student is not performing well, you I invite them and counsel them.You try to know why, then you advice them. You don't fyyycck them!!!
Lecturing job is one of the most respected in saner climes.Pofessors mediate between students and the school authorities.They are mentors to their students. Unlike in Nigeria where professors ficcck their students and getaway with it. How dare you report a professor to the school authorities in colleges of education or federal university? What are your evidence? You visited his office and he grabs you, what are your evidence? A lot of my female colleagues back then suffered. I know a particular lady that it got so bad she became a laughing stock among the cabal. Oga please take several seats.


Being loose according to you should be a reason they should be fyyyccked? People like you may also have that idea that a girl with shorts shouldn't complain about getting raped.

And you might be one that likes indecent dressing. Why wear shot while you can as well go naked. Even while going to work you dress smart. No matter how a child grows he can never out grow the protection of his/her parents. A friend of mine did that and the lecturer had to be warned seriously, you should have seen how he was sweating.

I wrote an article about buhari is dead. My user name is Giftedben but nairaland banned me for saying the truth.

nkwuocha:
Hey Bro, you need to shush your mouth.
There are loads of female students at the mercy of randy lecturers . Try reporting one and the cabal makes the victim miserable.

A lot of female students play around these lecturers. Mostly for marks and favors. If a randy lecturer disturbs you, go home and tell your parents, then watch if ur father and mother won't March into that school with Anger. Are you going to School for free, don't you pay school fee. It is very easy to get sacked than to get employed. She learnt her mistake the hard way. That's why I still believe Nigerian girls are too loose.
