People who are outside rivers state believe that Wike is still the Alpha and Omega of rivers politics. Wike is fighting too many battles at a time. He want to impose Austin Okpara on the PDP in 2023. They both came from the same ethnic tribe and Senatorial district. Bro Felix Obuah is another time bomb waiting for the PDP primary to explode. Wike will be too busy at the federal trying to make Tambuwal win the PDP presidential ticket and we all know that’s a dream that won’t come to reality. He want to become The Godfather in Rivers State.

Well let's watch and see. Bringing in any candidate that's not Riverine or Ogoni will end PDP in Rivers.

[s]Ordinarily, if you offer someone a gift, it is not your duty to dictate to the person how it should be used.
[/s]
Agreed! You bought the helicopters to crime in Rivers State and they have diverted and deployed to somewhere else. The owners found need for their use in the Northeast.

You can set up your own security outfit, train and equip them as you desire. This way, they will remain loyal to only Rivers State.

This was an ordinary gift but a gift for a purpose. Its just ie you giving money to a charity an that money was used for something else instead of the purpose it was given for.

Femeto:
[s]This man go just dey yarn dust. Helicopters that were in Skyway Aviation Handling Company's Warehouse for more than one year with no body coming forward to clear it. It was seized by Customs and handed over to Airforce. They accrued so much Demorage that wasn't settled. By the way Rotimi Amaechi purchased those helicopters not Wike. [/s]

Whether Anaechi or Wike its Rivers property. This was given to the military to use in Rivers State.

Na this kind talk dey always put ndi potopoto for trouble.

DubaiLandLord:

Each time I see the bolded I always laugh. Because we tie 2 wrappers mean we are same people���.

Nigercity:
Geographical IMO state is in niger Delta bro
Unless you have another definition of Delta
If not consult a geography text book
And view goggle map
Everything shouldn't be about sentiments

The Niger Delta, as now defined officially by the Nigerian government, extends over about 70,000 km2 (27,000 sq mi) and makes up 7.5% of Nigeria's land mass. Historically and cartographically, it consists of present-day Bayelsa, Delta, and Rivers States. In 2000, however, Obasanjo's regime included Abia, Akwa-Ibom, Cross River State, Edo, Imo and Ondo States in the region.

Take note of the word cartographically.

dangotesmummy:
please what is "black soot".educate me please

Google is your friend!

seguno2:
Can you please list the parts of Lagos that are not slum, and what percentage of the state that they represent
Thanks

Banana slum loading...

MajorLeaguePlay:
Lagos needs to decongest, badly. It needs to figure out a way to kick millions of people out the state and back to where they’re from.

This is true!
Also as they are kicking them out they should also kick all the O&G companies that has no business being in Lagos to their States of operation.

gidgiddy:
Is there another definition for it?

In Nigeria there are 3 definitions of Niger Delta.

1. Niger Delta as per Oil producing states. 8 states
2. Niger Delta as per South South - This makes up the core of the Niger Delta in Nigeria today. 6 states
3. Niger Delta as per the geographical meaning of
a Delta. 3 states

Asari here is talking about number 3.
So the 3 states (Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers) that make up the geographical meaning of the Niger Delta does not mean every part of these states are in the geographical Niger Delta.

[s]Don't be silly. They are speaking on behalf of Igbos is the SS. Or are there not Igbos there?[/s]

They've not been able to speak for themselves, rather its to speak for others.

Adekamkpe23:
Are you a Biafran or not. Just answer the question.

I am not a biafran and will never be. However I'm not that stup.i.d to see rubbish and not say it.

EagleScope01:
Thank you for your time. I really appreciate. With the highlighted points, I don't think I need a smart TV, apart from bragging rights
Point 1: the few seconds delay is not out of place for me
Point 5: as expected, all modern flat screen tvs should be able to display media from flash drives (though I have seen some that can display pictures but can't play video be it mp4, 3gp or any other format)
Point 9: I have an "Anycast" dongle, I can easily fling media from my phone to my TV..

For streaming of videos such as Netflix, I can easily do that from my phone and mirror display. It saves the the stress (physical and financial) of another Internet subscription for TV. It is not poverty mentalitt, it is a young bachelor trying to start life
Thank you for your indept analysis, it is not unappreciated.
One last thing, pls can you tell me what you inputted in your search bar to get the above result? I couldn't get the right keywords

Search anything about smart TV online. Also note that yes you may not need a smart TV, however most TV that has all the bells and whistles are smart TV, especially the high end ones. I doubt if there is any Oled or quantum dot TV that's not a smart TV.
Yes smart TVs get updates easily than just ordinary TVs, also take note of that, unless you are not the kind that likes the latest firmware on your TV.


For me picture quality matters more than anything, and the best picture quality today are in mainly smart TVs.
I'm a fan of Oled or VA panels. No carry IPS panel near me

I'm sure you are not a videofile that pick on little things like motion blur, 4k resolution, refresh rate of 120fps/120hz, HDMI 2.1 etc. If you were then smart TV would have been way preferable.

You kill them because they call themselves biafrans yet you call them biafrans. So why kill them in the first place?
So you know they are biafrans yet you harass them for being who they are.

EagleScope01:
Not to bother you, pls can you highlight key features in a 32" smart TV apart from Netflix and cast features?

1.Fast User Interface
One of the most must-have of the must-have features in a Smart TV is one that you won’t give a second thought—or a second’s thought to—if you already have it: speed. If you have a Blu-ray Disc player, you know how annoying it is to wait for what seems like an eternity for the disc’s main menu to load and finally appear on your screen. Likewise, some Smart TVs take eons (okay, maybe it’s only decades) to switch from one app, function, or input to another. A blazingly fast interface that lets you do what you want to do almost before you know you want to do it is a must if you don’t want to find yourself endlessly irritated by how sluggish your Smart TV is.

2. Streaming Video Services
If all you do is watch movies rented from a red kiosk or tune in to the local nightly news broadcast, then you don’t need a Smart TV. Frankly, if that’s the case, you need to get a life. The other option is to get a Smart TV and sign up for at least one (but probably more) online streaming video service, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Instant, Vudu, Hulu Plus, Crackle, or even Funny or Die. There’s also Showtime Anytime, HBO Now, and CBS All Access. If you have a fast Internet connection, there are more movies and TV shows to stream than you’ll ever have time to watch—but, you can only stream them if your Smart TV has an app(s) that supports the online service(s) you want to use. Sling TV, for example, is an affordable alternative to your cable subscription, but it might as well not exist if your TV isn’t compatible with it.

3. 4K UHD Streaming Video
At the moment, there isn’t a deluge of 4K Ultra HD content available to stream from the Internet. There is a bit, though, mainly from Netflix, Amazon Instant, M-GO, and a few others. While it might seem logical that owning a 4K UHD Smart TV with a subscription to one of these services would automatically provide access to their particular 4K UHD selections, it doesn’t. Your Smart TV has to be compatible with that specific service. Not all TVs are, nor are all the services, and vice versa, and…confused? If 4K UHD streaming is important to you, check with the websites for these services to see which Smart TVs are compatible—and make sure you have a fast Internet connection. (Netflix recommends “at least 25 megabits per second to stream Ultra HD titles.”)

4. Music Streaming
Listening to music might not be the first activity you think about when considering a new Smart TV, but—if it’s available on your TV—you’ll be surprised at how much you’ll use it, especially if the TV is in a kitchen, a bedroom, or some other location in the house where you don’t already have an audio system. As with streaming video services, though, not all Smart TVs have apps for some of the most popular services, such as Pandora, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and TuneIn. Check the Smart TV’s app store to see if your favorite music streaming service is available. The speakers in nearly every TV—smart, average, or dumb as a brick—sound weak and wimpy, however, so we highly recommend using a set of bookshelf speakers or a decent soundbar with the TV to make the experience more enjoyable.

5. Media Player
It’s much more pleasant to look at family photos on a 50- or 60-inch screen in your living room instead of scrunching everyone together in front of a tiny computer screen—or, worse, passing around a smartphone. A basic DLNA-compliant media player can provide access to all of the digital videos, photos, and music located on a network-attached storage device or computer on your home network. More advanced media players and servers, such as Plex, can organize, categorize, and convert your content, making it super-easy to access all of your digital stuff.

6. Recommendation Engine
Netflix does it. Amazon does it. Even friends do it. “If you liked this,” they say, “then you might like…” or, “Other people who bought this also bought…” So why shouldn’t your Smart TV offer suggestions, too? It’s true that sometimes recommendations from these single-minded algorithms can be a little strange and creepy—especially when multiple people get swirled together under the same profile—but more often than not they can provide some very useful suggestions when the specific movie or TV show you want isn’t available to stream.

7. Universal Search
One blessing of the Internet is that we have so many choices of online streaming services, but it’s also a curse because finding what you want to watch is often a daunting, time-consuming task of searching through each service one-by-one. Most Smart TVs have a built-in search engine or “guide” that will look for the particular movie, TV show, actor, genre, or whatever. They’re not all equally as thorough, though. While some look virtually everywhere, others only peruse certain services. If you want a really smart Smart TV, get one with the widest search capabilities.

8. Games
You can use your Smart TV to watch movies and listen to music, so why not use it to play games, too? Many Smart TVs have game apps, which is okay as long as you like playing Solitaire or Angry Birds. But gaming is getting more sophisticated on some of the newest Smart TVs. Several models from Sony and Samsung, for example, can access the PlayStation Now game streaming service. Take note: These require using a Sony Dualshock 3 or Dualshock 4 controller.

9. Transfer Smartphone Content to the Smart TV
Different companies call it different things, such as “flinging,” “casting,” “second screen experience,” or “swipe & share.” Whatever the name, the ability to send content from your smartphone or tablet to your TV can be priceless. (Well, maybe not priceless, but extremely valuable, at least.) With a compatible app on your phone or tablet, you can display photos, play videos, and transfer streaming content wirelessly from your smart device to the Smart TV. It’s not limited to just your smart device, either, so friends and family can “fling” their photos and videos to your Smart TV if their devices and apps are compatible.

10. App Store
Your Smart TV may be the smartest in the world today, but technology doesn’t stand still. It’s important that your Smart TV has access to an app store that offers a wide variety of applications so it can keep up to date with new services and features as time goes on by downloading new and updated apps. Some Smart TV companies, such as Samsung, Vizio, and LG, have their own proprietary app stores with different numbers of apps. Smart TVs from Sony and Sharp, which are based on the Android TV operating system, have access to over 600 apps. The recently developed Firefox OS, which Panasonic is beginning to use in its Smart TVs, will have its own app store, as well.

Extras: Of course, there are more than 10 Smart TV features that could be considered “must haves.” Skype capability, either built-in or with an optional camera, is a must-have feature, for example, but only for people who actively use Skype to make phone and video calls. Voice control and/or motion control is a feature on some Smart TVs that you should definitely check out because it’s a tremendously cool way to operate one. Not everyone likes using these methods, however. (Voice control can be finicky at times.) Another feature that’s helpful to have is a wired Ethernet connection in addition to the more common Wi-Fi connectivity that’s built into most Smart TVs. Although a wired connection is faster, more reliable, and can pass more data, a lot of people don’t have an Ethernet port near their TV.

Nothing in life is perfect, but if you get most—preferably all—of the features above, you’ll have about the most perfect Smart TV

Good afternoon brother... How do you do?
I want to get a 32 inches TV and kinda having difficulty deciding between a LED TV, smart TV, and satellite tv
Besides streaming from Netflix, pls can you highlight the features of an affordable 32 inches TV to me (Google doesn't seem to help, and maybe I am not using the right keywords).
Miracast feature can be augmented cis I have an "anycast" dongle

At this age and time smat tv is the way to go. As per affordability it all depends on your pocket. There are many Chinese brands in the market that are giving the bigger brands like Samsung , LG and Sony a good run.

Depends on what you want and the price range you are looking at.
