3zaza3: The Nokia 3.4 was recently announced alongside the Nokia 2.4 and 8.3. It is a reasonably priced device currently retailing for around N65,000. It runs on Snapdragon 460 processor with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. It has a similar design pattern to the Nokia 8.3 and 5.3 but uses a left hole punch cutout for the selfie camera. The Nokia 3.4 like other Nokia devices is on the Android One program, so two years of android upgrades guaranteed. It falls between the Nokia 5.3 and 2.4. In this review we look at the performance including camera test and gaming with the Nokia 3.4.
Devices like the Redmi 9 and Infinix Note 8i have more powerful processors (Mediatek Helio G80) and at similar price point. So... Stock android or better gaming? Which would you rather have?
Heartbrokengirl: I have always hated the idea of dating married people, but here I am...the ex-girlfriend of a married man.
It started sometime during the lockdown, I went somewhere to get groceries and ran into this man. Let’s call him Mr X. His smile and sense of humour was the attraction. He was putting on a nice senator material and when I stood for us to leave, he towered above me. I am a 6ft tall lady and ladies with my height can tell the happiness when you meet a taller man.
We started chatting regularly and we were in a competition to give ourselves treats. On our second date which I initiated, I asked his age and he replied 36, he asked mine and I told him. He expressed his doubts and I showed him my drivers license. Started asking many questions about my background and I answered all of them. I asked about him too, including his marital status.
I had just gotten out of a relationship, his father said he wouldn’t marry outside the Catholic church and he started drifting, I had to let him go. It was tough for me, but after months of keeping to myself, my friend encouraged me to go on dates and give another man a chance. I decided to give Mr X a chance.
It was beautiful. We were in a competition to please ourselves, take ourselves out and we both had a healthy sense of humour...chatting was fun!!! Everywhere we went, people stared. We were all over ourselves even in public and till date I wonder how he pulled that off.
One day his office had a party and he asked if I could come, I said yes. Got there and the guys were looking at me with lust, the ladies were looking at me with pity. He said the ladies were jealous of my looks and some of them have been crushing on him. If you see him and see me, you’ll understand why this explanation made little sense.
After the party that day, it was late to go back to my house and his house was farther, so we decided to book a hotel around. That night was our most intimate night. We kissed, he gave me leg massages, a head and said he is ready when I am ready. I was blown away. Could this be real?
I always noticed he would be lost in thoughts whenever we are together and blame it on work. Other times he will start feeling sick and I would have to close earlier to go give him food and drugs. This became a regular occurence until one day…
He had fallen sick as usual. I made him promise to take pain relievers and we should consider going to the hospital. He didn’t do this and I had to make out time within the week to go check on him. He said it is because he was missing me, how sweet!
He didn’t get better, it was obvious something was bothering him. I decided I will take him for lunch so we can talk about it, but he couldn’t wait. That night he said he has something to tell me, he kept apologizing but still couldn’t say it. He asked if he could send a voice note and I told him to go ahead.
At about 3mins into the voice note, I felt my world crumbling. He told me he was married and has been married for almost 10years with kids. His family was not in the country, that is why I never saw traces of them. He said he had been battling with the guilt and was scared to tell me because some other girl left when she found out and the last was with him for money. He knew I would leave and was scared, his best friend told him to give it time, another told him to ghost me but I have been good to him and his conscience won’t let him. Other friends said he should never mention it to me.
When my friend saw him, she told me he was going to hurt me. I asked her how and she said I was too innocent for him. She didn’t say further not to be termed hater, but since he made me happy again...she wished me well.
I kept replaying the audio while he kept asking me to say something. I wondered if he treated his wife the way he treated me. He was such a gentleman. Held my hands when I had to walk in heels, opened the car door for me, checked on me at work, gave me handmade customized gifts...he made them himself. He said his wife is bad and he wants divorce her, lolz. I told him they all say that. I told him how much he has hurt me, but I forgive him and appreciate him telling me when he did.
It has been almost 3months but the pain lingers. I know I will be fine…
Hey, sorry for what you had to go through. Don't mind the guys here saying crap shit. Shit happens but irrespective, one needs to just pack the pieces and move along. Life happens but you gotta just open your eyes to happiness lurking around you and opportunities to love again. Wish you well Sunshine .

Vivo V20 is essentially a camera centric midrange phone that looks like a flagship with its sleek glass back design and camera Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra-esque camera bump. This isn't even the pro variant and yet, it packs a huge 256GB storage space, 8GB RAM, a snapdragon 720G gaming CPU and a camera that sees better at night than the iPhone 11 Pro. Battery life is great too, especially with the standby time. I put the camera to test side by side GCAM, see screenshots from video below.

sunnybobonwa: MTN, Globacom, Airtel, 9mobile Crash Data Price By 33.3%
Mobile network operators in the country comprising MTN, Globacom, Airtel, and 9mobile have all crashed their data prices by at least 33.3 per cent, New Telegraph has learnt. From the average cost of N1,000 for 1 Gigabyte (GB) of data in January this year, the cost of 1GB is now N666.6 on the average for a monthly subscription. Although the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Pantami, had, in a statement released yesterday, declared that there had been a 50 per cent crash based on a report he received from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), an independent check by this newspaper across the networks showed a 33.3 per cent reduction.
While there are cheaper packages, but with a limited period of use, an analysis of the monthly data packages of the telcos showed that MTN, Airtel and 9mobile’s N1,000 subscription offer subscribers 1.5GB of data, while Globacom offers 1.9 Gigabyte at the same cost with extra 1GB for night browsing. At this rate, the cost of 1GB MTN, Airtel, and 9mobile amounts to N666.6. This, however, is still slightly higher than the recommended price for 1GB of data by the United Nations Broadband Commission, which is proportionate to the income of the people.
The Commission defines internet affordability as ‘1 for 2’, that is, 1GB of mobile broadband costing no more than two per cent of the average monthly income. Based on the current N30,000 minimum wage in Nigeria, the cost of 1GB in the country should not be more than N600, according to the Broadband Commission.
Meanwhile, the minister, in a statement by his Technical Assistant (Information Technology), said the reduction in the cost of data was the result of his recent directives to NCC to put in place measures to significantly reduce the average cost of data. “The minister had inaugurated a committee that developed the Nigerian National Broadband Plan (2020- 2025) on 16th December, 2019.
The Plan was unveiled and launched by President Muhammadu Buhari on 19th March, 2020. One of the goals of the plan is to reduce the average cost of 1GB of data to a maximum of N390 by 2025. With the January 2020 baseline of N1,000 per GB, the maximum projected steady decrease for the end of each year was as follows: 2020 (N925), 2021 (N850), 2022 (N775), 2023 (N700), 2024 (N545) and 2025 (N390).
“In line with Pantami’s commitment to under promise and over deliver, the measures have caused the current cost of data to reduce significantly beyond the December 2020 projection of N925. Based on the report by NCC, the average cost of data as of November 2020 was N487.18, which amounts to N47.33 lower than the projected value,” the statement further read. According to the minister, the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy, through NCC, would continue to ensure that consumers enjoy a price regime that supports fairness and is friendly to consumers.
“Policies are in place to ensure that operators adopt competitive pricing that eschews unjustifiable margins. The general public may also wish to note that complaints about rapid data depletion are also being investigated,” he added.
National Chairman of the National Association of Telecoms Subscribers (NATCOMS), Mr. Deolu Ogunbanjo, said the cost of data has indeed reduced in the last few months and subscribers are happy about it.
oyalunasamuel: Mine was a very terrible experience...OK this is how it happened I noticed she had a frequent whatsapp phone call with someone so I asked who the person was and she said that he was just a friend. I checked her message with the guy and everything had been deleted. It was then I suspected a fowl play. I begged her to tell me the truth so I don’t get to find out myself and she kept denying. Well I took the phone with her consent and retrieved all her deleted WhatsApp messages for a year through the database of the phone and restored the message she could believe this was possible and that I could do it... damn It was one of the most painful memory I hold in my entire life. I found out at some point that she was pregnant for this same guy, who was even a married man with kids and she even took 40k from him to abort the baby. Same time she told me she was pregnant and I was responsible. I found out series of sex chat messages nude exchange with different guys I couldn’t believe my eyes, like this is the girl I was gonna make my wife...
I often hear different opinions and perspectives on privacy of a partners phone. But take for a second and imagine I never found out those messages I would have married a wolf thinking it was a sheep.
Well I forgave her after that and wanted us to continue our relationship because I thought it was easier to fix a leaking roof than demolish and entire building all because of a leaking roof. But I was wrong. She never changed. Well it’s all in the past now.
In retrospect I fear women they hold secrets you can never imagine.
I finally bought the Nokia 2.4. Paid 50k for it at Slot.
I must say I'm VERY pleased with my choice. The phone is well made, looks and feels like a more expensive phone. Nokia did a good job here. I feel like they have redeemed their image after a spent 30k a few years back to buy that horrible Nokia 2.
