I don't know of it's true or not but from your deposition why didn't the druggie administration make this clearance one of their first priorities especially when he had promised that we shouldn't vote for him of he doesn't fix electricity, I would have thought this would be priority, now after almost 4yrs close to election he remembered that electricity equipments were abandoned at the ports.

surprisingly just like you, tinubu might also be hearing this for the first time recently too, fi u think bcus doneone is tge president, then they must know about all 10millon things going on in every agencies and sector. Lets say he has even tried resolved this issue eith the customer amicable for a year. U think democracy works in a way egere the president will just put juju in his mouth and give orders without following the necessary steps, bcys he his the president?..

Why does it feel so awkward when you ask a girl out and she says no, even if you don't resent her nothing is the same anymore.

the solution is dont keep female as friends, you can work with them, greet when necessary, laugh, etc but dont keep friends especially with the ones you like. When u ask a girl out some will say no at first and still gove done green light fir u to chase on, u can try again. But when u ask a girl out, and sge said no, she became rude, ignore ur text, and act overly non interested. Use the block button immediately and move on, try another person. Dont forget always block them off

Mrchippychappy:
You had a 7 point lead against City.

You slipped up against Chelsea at Anfield, lost the ball. Leaving Demba Ba to run in and score the goal and then lost the game.

Then you drew 3 - 3 against Crystal Palace.

You bottled it. That's the simple truth. U got close but then choked at the last minute.

E no get anything to do with "cheating".

City didn't bribe referees like Juventus did in Serie A during the Calcio Poli scandal. They simply used their money to sign better players.

When comparing Samsung and Infinix smartphones, many Nigerians focus on camera quality, battery life, performance and price.

But I want to compare something I believe is even more important: their warranty service.

I have personally experienced warranty claims involving both brands, and the difference in how my complaints were resolved has changed my opinion about buying expensive smartphones.

**MY INFINIX WARRANTY EXPERIENCE (2020)**

Around 2020, I purchased an Infinix smartphone for my mother.

While the phone was still under warranty, it developed a problem with its SIM slot.

I made a warranty claim, and the faulty phone was replaced.

That was it. The warranty served its purpose, and I got a replacement for a phone that developed a fault.

This experience made me appreciate the importance of buying a brand-new smartphone with a warranty.

**MY SAMSUNG WARRANTY EXPERIENCE (2022)**

On October 13, 2022, I purchased a brand-new Samsung Galaxy phone from Finet Communication Limited.

The phone came with a 2-year warranty.

Less than one month later, it developed a serious fault. Flight Mode kept activating automatically, disconnecting the mobile network and preventing calls.

Samsung's own authorised service centre confirmed that it was a factory defect.

Considering that the phone was barely one month old and still had almost its entire 2-year warranty remaining, I expected a straightforward solution.

Unfortunately, that was not what happened.

Best Raya Service, the technical partner handling the repairs, worked on the phone up to seven times, although only two repairs were formally documented.

They even replaced the phone's panel, yet the original fault persisted.

If the panel was replaced, why did the same problem continue?

I spent months moving up and down, patiently allowing repeated repair attempts.

Eventually, I requested a replacement because the repairs were not resolving the defect.

Samsung initially refused.

After months of frustration, I instructed my lawyer to write to the parties involved.

It took legal intervention before a replacement was arranged, and the wider dispute remained unresolved.

Finet Communication Limited, the retailer I purchased from, also failed to provide the assistance I expected. During the legal proceedings, Finet filed a ₦7 million counterclaim against me, which the court overruled.

Nearly four years later, I am still seeking a fair resolution.

**SAMSUNG VS INFINIX: COMPARING MY WARRANTY EXPERIENCES**

Here is what happened in both cases:

Infinix:
- Phone purchased for my mother around 2020.
- Developed a SIM-slot problem under warranty.
- I made a warranty claim.
- The faulty phone was replaced.
- The complaint was resolved without needing legal intervention.

Samsung:
- Brand-new Galaxy purchased in October 2022.
- Developed a factory defect within one month.
- Samsung's authorised service centre confirmed the defect.
- Up to seven repair attempts, including a panel replacement, failed to provide a lasting solution.
- I had to involve a lawyer before a replacement was arranged.
- The wider dispute has continued for nearly four years.

**SO WHICH WARRANTY GAVE ME BETTER PROTECTION?**

Based strictly on my personal experiences, Infinix provided the more satisfactory warranty outcome.

This is not about which phone has the better camera or processor.

It is about what happens when a customer needs the manufacturer to honour a warranty.

I deliberately avoid Tokunbo phones because I want certainty about what I'm buying. I also consider the availability of authorised service centres before choosing a smartphone brand.

That is why I expected Samsung's 2-year warranty to provide meaningful protection.

But what is the value of a 2-year warranty if a customer must involve a lawyer to obtain a replacement for a factory defect confirmed within the first month?

How many Nigerians can afford the financial burden of prolonged legal proceedings over a phone worth less than ₦1 million?

I am not claiming that every Infinix warranty claim is handled perfectly or that every Samsung customer will experience what I experienced.

I am comparing two actual warranty experiences I have personally had.

And based on those experiences, I would be more comfortable considering Infinix again than relying solely on Samsung's advertised 2-year warranty.

**MY ADVICE TO NIGERIANS**

Before buying a smartphone, don't focus only on specifications, brand reputation or the number of warranty years printed on the carton.

Find out what happens when repeated repairs fail. Ask whether the manufacturer offers a replacement, how warranty complaints are escalated, and how long customers typically wait for a resolution.

A warranty is only valuable when it provides meaningful support when something goes wrong.

Now I want to hear from other Nigerians.

Between Samsung, Infinix, Tecno, Xiaomi and other brands, which manufacturer has given you the best or worst warranty experience?

Have you ever had a faulty phone replaced under warranty without involving a lawyer?

Let's compare real experiences.

Read my earlier Nairaland discussion about the Samsung warranty dispute:

na obky u they get problems with wat u buy ni, only u have had osdie with 2 to 3 new phones. Na wa o. Na onky u dey Nigeria ni

Op how do you define power? Our Nigerian Ekuke can survive anything, its a well documented case that almost every continent from Egypt to Thailand to Mexico to India have their own Ekuke that strongly resembles our Ekuke and they all survive anything.

Those powerful dogs you mentioned, cannot survive without human help and medical treatment.

they can survive without human help and medical treatment. The only difference is that diseases that would have been cured by vet will kill them if they are in the wild. Amd its sane eith every animals even human. That diseases that kill sone ekuke would have been treated if he was taking to vet. Even as a human, malaria that will be cured easily can kill soneone very fast that dies not have access to the drugs.

YouandiAllofus:
All them enemies of progress are surely not going to like this.

They were already jubilating and propagating false narrative about diversion of the new coastal highway still being constructed and merging it into the already existing east-west road at Edo State.
They have also been justifying some illthought out statements discrediting the economic importance of the coastal highway by some disgruntled political elements.

They all will be put to shame.

why did umahi want to add igbos to that road self. That man has being doing lot of this for his region, yet they are still persecuting him

CyynthiaKiss:
Imagine Nigeria without any atom of Islamic activities..

will u use bomb to wipe them off, thank God they are concentrated in somewhere. Bcus the way u Christians use to talk ehn seems u guys dont even care about humanity as much as the Muslim u guys despise, and if u guys have the opportunity, u will use atomic bomb and finish all of them irrespective of kids, irrespective of humanity. U guys are saying Muslim is bad and worst, while falling to check urself. If it was the other way around, and the world leaders are Muslim, u guys would have run online to cry marginalisation, racist, religion suppression. But you guys are dishing same to other religion right now.

Continuation of the images

the only different between yours and mine is that you bought yours in Enugu south east and fake items have something in common. It was around that 2022 I bought mine, august or so. And its the same phone I'm using to type this right now. Over 4years.

Now, as a long time user of Samsung A73, there is one way that phone could develop this fault u atr describing. The one I'm sure off is if the phone fell down very hard and it affect the panel below, it will disrupt the phone ability to receive netwrk

They should just allow him be. The Coach benched him, how else do they want him to react?

by slaping the coach for benching him. Mumu man

Watch how petrol managers after hearing the news from vanguard this morning, run up straight to go change metre to 1,900

marlow1962:
Mention just one of the terrorists or any news channel that showed when American government pardoned the terrorists, rehabilitate them, furnished them, draft them into the military and reintegrate them into the society.

why are you asking for prove when you also made a claim without prove? Can you also show me a prove that is fact checked that Nigeria govt draft former terrorists that was rehabilitated into the Nigeria military immediately from rehab.

Now let us focus on rehabilitation and reintegration into the society. A family who has had their love one killed will be furious that all boko haram members are not killed, that is understandable..

But let us look at it this way. Imagine boko haram has about 20,000 fighters, some joined voluntarily because they believes in the ideology, why others were forcibly recruited, some taking as children, some women, and some were dragged into the group after their communities was attacked.

Now imagine the military captures and receives the surrender of 5,000 of these people, what should they do with them?. They should execute and imprisoned everyone of them? Irrespective of weather they are forced to join, Irrespective of weather each individual have even joined or attacked any villages before? The children and some other vulnerable people among them should be punished and killed as though they voluntarily commit the same crimes as senior commandants?.. Will others who want to surrender will be able to surrender or they will keep fighting bcus they believe surrendering gives them no hope of survival?. So why are you sounding as if its all the boko haram members that are being rehab and reintegrated, presently as we speak our military might even be shooting and killing one.

Anyways, let me stop here. Bcus I know, no matter what I say, you will still not understand, and you will find a way to ignore and divert to other things. But let me ask you this final question.

Are you in support of the amnesty program given to Niger delta militant by late president yaradua, despite all the atrocities the militant carried out during their times, despite the killings of many military men, civilians, destruction, etc. or will you say that their case is different from boko haram. Will you try to justify that fighting for resources justify the thousands they kill and properties destroyed, rehabilitate and reintegrated them is right move, while rehabilitate and reintegrating some boko haram members is not?

marlow1962:
If it were to be Nigeria, he would have been forgiven, rehabilitated, furnished, reintegrated into the society and he would have contested for the position of a governor or president.

All he has to do is to follow the wicked party, make fake promises and throw crumbs to the citizens.

look at how this one is talking as if the USA dont also forgive, rehabilitate, furnished, reintegrated criminals into the society too.. so just bcus of 1 post. Na wa o

PresidentAtiku:
We are about a better Nigeria and at the moment. From the feelers, meetings, statements and comments from all the
candidates, I can confirm that Atiku Abubakar is what Nigerian masses need at the moment. He understands governance and is making statements that will ease the terrible poverty in the land, thanks to Tinubu and APC who assumes that reforms= hardship

exactly what I'm saying, A preferred candidate policies is always the best and its vice versa. Obi supporters see obis policies as the best, tinubu supporters sees tinubu policies as the best, while Atiku supporters see tinubu policies as the best. So no matter who win the election, the oppositions will always find something to lament about.

What will atiku do better? Bring back subsidy, bcus seems that his the only policies he has been talking about. And after the subsidy is brought back, what next? We will ho back to status quo where, they cant pay civil servants cant pay salaries, state can't pay workers, using debt to pay workers, pension cant be paid, project stalls, corruption tripple, Assu strike comes bck, shortage of fuel due to hoarding, by the way introduction of subsidy alone wont make imported product loke cars cheap, will he also subsidies dollar too and introduce two exchage rate back?.

Like I said I'm not here to defend Tinubu policies bcus I'm not benefiting anything from his government. But it seems Nigerians has forgotten the kind of suffering and hardship we where coming from. Everybody is focusing on fuel fuel, while you all forgot that this country has actually been working fine for 3 years now. There is poverty and hardship on the land, there has always been poverty and hardship. But think about it. Nigeria is actually working well in years now. Well believe it or not, bcus I know you wont see it

PresidentAtiku:
I don’t expect anything different from those who support him because of tribe

But y’all should be ashamed of his performance. It’s a stain on the entire tribe

There are better people than this one with poor performance, baggage’s etc afterall people supported Obasanjo and he is Yoruba

Performance bro! Nothing else

I didnt say anything about tribe, I did not defend or support Tinubu, I'm just a ref observing from neutral point..

During Goodluck Jonathan's PDP, most of APC supporters now where the one who voted him out, and most people opposing APC now where behind Jonathan's despite how half of the country was in crises due to the economic realities of those years, not current realities. The tables turn, those against pdp then are now the ones giving reasons to justify APC policies now, while those supporting PDP then are the once doing exactly what people who was against Jonathan's PDP were doing then...

If your prefered candidate enters power, it will just go back to rest mode, you will be giving different reasons to support him/her policies, while people supporting APC now will be lamenting.

So its not even about if Nigeria is good or like abroad, its about whose preferred candidate is on power. Bcus PDP and APC has all ruled for years. Where is the good roads? Where is the electricity, where is the good life

PresidentAtiku:
Government that is so useless to itself and the people they govern, Why not just return subsidy payments?

You are sooooo proud yet so clueless about governance, the worst government in our history .Which one is this Abeg? Is this how Lagos was built?

I am very angry right now Wicked souls. Reforms mean hardship to them. Cursed clueless Lagos builders with steewpeed set of economic team

Atiku is teaching you people what governance with human feelings means, how subsidy issue can be resolved without been a satan to the citizens like this government is now

even if fuel turned to 22 naira when tinubu entered power, u will still find a way to complain and lament on small things. During buhari there was still subsidy and fuel was 70 naira to 140 naira. Didnt you still complain and lament?. The only way u will stop lamenting, blaming leaders and reason properly is when your favorite candidate enters power, by then you will start having genuine reasons and explanations for all policies they make just like APC/Tinubu supporters are having excuses for all polices now. So before then, continue lamenting o.. bcus it seems as things stand now, you will soon lament for another 5years. Bcus all calculations is saying Tinubu can't lose this forthcoming election. Ehn sorry o

Blood is thivk than water, and kany is his brother. Then why did he abandon his local God from his brother to go worship another man's God. Mumu man.. once anybody don wear suit and hold Mic them don call am pastor

One of the strategy to be one step ahead of coup d'etat in third world countries is to pack potential and suspected coupists on a plane and crash them in the middle of nowhere. A lot of paranoid head of states have used it to a devastating effect.

No hard feelings, just survival in the jungle.

even in the USA?

Lithiumite:
Isn't this wrong.....for a military personality to openly cone out and campaign for any politician.....I support PBAT but acts like this by our military should never be encouraged.

This is pure dereliction of duty and appropriate sanctions should be applied.

PBAT till 31!!

why are you using plastic spoon to fight in a war where sophisticated weapons are being used

Racoon:
Meanwhile many soldiers are still buying uniforms, boots and ballistics by themselves from the same salary.

did you hear this from somewhere, or u have prove, or its shat you heard 10years ago and u still think its the status quo. If they carry you now to come and prove it

Usmanovic95:
Is this a joke? 15 buses for a state with 16 Lga .This must be a joke. Not even enough to be distributed across all Local government.Even the 15 buses is not enough for Ado Ekiti alone not to talk of the whole Ekiti. This is one of the reason I don't rate anyone affiliated with APC.

all of them are the same. Even the once affiliated ti pdp, lp, etc, apga. What are they doing? Are the people in the state where they lead, the state where pdp govorb, are they any better

zenburster:
Cutting transportation fares by 50% with a mere 15 buses?

How many people are in Ekiti again?

That state should be converted into a mega farm, and everyone living there into serfs to work on it

What a joke

and just last week, he gave 100 vehicles hilux to ogas of each security o. But 15 bus for all the whole ekiti.

yesloaded:
😂

15 buses to cut off transport fares

This is a childish cosmetics approach

What's the population of Ekiti?

15 buses can never serve my ward here in ibadan not to talk of one local government

dont mind that govornor. He bought 100 newly vehicle give it to security operatives in Ado Ekiti, yes the gesture is good. But 100 vehicles for gas, 15 vehicles for all Ekiti State, so one vehicles per LGA,one lga will still be left.

Sane man approved 3b to build new court few month ago

Mattswaggz:
SEE FINISH.....these are the results of bad leadership that some people are defending because of meagre 30k.

you think with all what the tribe from the other side are doing in yoruba land, assuming yoruba land is another country entirely, they wouldn't have banned the tribe from the other side or give them very struct Visa policy?.... even nairaland will banned anybody that mention the name of the tribe from the other side

If to say na you, you go wan carry injury go back to club? Who dey pay him salary? 🤔

then why are you complaining that they didnt qualify fir the world cup

Nigeria players are more consign about them not being injured than winning the game. Look at tge way lookman has been playing

Greenback:
So at your age,you can still be misled?! Shame,that

it takes a matured man to be misled,and can still come out to admit his mistake, apologies and move on. Most people won't admit, they will stick to their old choice irrespective so they won't have to look as if they lost,bcus to them admitting a mistake means admitting defeat. Especially in politics. Changing your mind does not necessarily mean you were foolish sometimes it means you are willing to learn.

A mature way is, I supported this based on what I knew then. I now see things differently, and I am willing to acknowledge it.

They think they can't go back to Apartheid state. They will be shocked. Let them continue

Ejiphill09:
Why should she provide proof? Like she can't name her child any name without prove of what exactly. Its your kind that justify Britain asking us Nigerian they colonized and makes English our officials language to go and get proof of English if you want to travel through educational route.

you dont like the way things are being done in ur country, ok you japa. Fine. But you still dont like the way things are being done in tbe country you japa too, always ranting behind your phone and cant even strike a good conversation face to face. What did you now want o? ThankGod that the world have rules. If not some people ehn

This man want to make sure to fulfil whats in Revelation about the country that destroys the world. Maybe god already know isreal will end the world. That is why he scattered the all this years,

I’m someone who isn’t ashamed of being single.

I’m 36, and I’ll be 37 in December.

The honest truth is that I’m single. I’m not currently dating anyone. It’s not because I don’t ask women out—I do. But I’m not someone who enjoys talking too much, and sometimes the thought of having to constantly communicate, explain myself, and maintain a relationship feels stressful to me. Maybe that is one of the reasons I have remained single for this long.

My lifestyle is also very regimented. I have a routine that is so predictable that someone can almost tell when I’m at home and when I’m not.

Money is another major issue.

I currently earn ₦200,000 a month before tax, and I don’t have a side hustle at the moment. Sometimes I look at my income and wonder how I’m supposed to build the kind of life people expect from someone approaching 40.

I have even lied about being in a relationship when I know I’m not.

I’ve told people I have two children, even though I have never had children. I did it because I wanted people to stop asking questions and putting pressure on me. But ironically, while trying to escape other people’s expectations, I think I have ended up putting even more pressure on myself.

For a long time, I genuinely enjoyed being single.

The peace was beautiful.

No relationship drama. No constant explanations. No arguments. No pressure.

But lately, that peace is beginning to feel like loneliness.

I miss having someone.

And that is difficult for me to admit.

Another thing about me is that I give up easily on relationships. I can enter a relationship today and, a month later, lose interest and walk away without even properly explaining to the woman why I’m leaving.

I know that isn't a good quality.

My life has also been somewhat of a slow journey.

I started school at 11. I finished secondary school at 22. I completed tertiary education at 32. I started my teaching job earning ₦20,000 a month, and today, at 36, I earn ₦200,000.

You would think that increasing my income would make life easier.

But every time my income increases, inflation seems to move the goalpost.

What used to feel like enough no longer feels like enough.

And then there is friendship.

I have always struggled with keeping friends. Even as a child, I realised I didn't really have a flair for friendship. Today, I honestly don't have anyone I can confidently call my close friend.

I even remember a time when I would give people money just so they would play with me.

Looking back, that hurts.

I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't party. I don't womanise.

At work, I joke around, interact with people and eat good food. From the outside, I probably look like someone who is doing just fine.

But deep down, there is a part of me that genuinely misses being in a relationship.

I can go an entire month without making or receiving a personal phone call. Most of the calls I receive or make are work-related because I’m one of the leaders at my workplace.

Sometimes I wonder how I got here.

I don't think I’m a bad person.

I don't think I’m unattractive.

I don't think I’m incapable of loving someone.

Maybe I just became too comfortable being alone.

Maybe I have built such a structured and independent life that making room for another person now feels difficult.

Or maybe I simply haven't figured out how to balance my personality, finances, career, friendships and relationships.

I don't know.

But lately, being single doesn't feel as peaceful as it used to.

It is starting to feel a little boring.

So I’m genuinely asking:

Are there other men who are like this?

Men in their 30s who don't drink, smoke, party or womanise.

Men who have very few or no close friends.

Men who have become so comfortable being alone that they don't know how to let someone into their lives.

Men who are not necessarily unhappy, but deep down, still miss having someone to come home to.

I’d really like to hear from you.

firstly, its not inflation that his affecting your 200k. U said you finish university education at 32 4 years ago, started with 20,000 salary, and you said that was getting you by 4 years ago. And so how 200k, 10 times more is not enough. 4 years ago is just at the end of buhari's tenure, inflation was high then also. This is a reality of the more your income, the more your responsibilities. Even if you start earning 2m monthly today. It won't still be enough bcus your responsibilities will also increase to the level of someone earning 2m monthly.

Secondly, use chatgpt to take a course. Topic "Social etiquette"... take it as a course, chatgpt will explain and teach you how to behave socially, how to approach someone, how to keep a conversation etc. Use that

The influx of foreign born players also contribute to the current problems of Super Eagles. I would have explained further, .. but no time

the problem is when they are playing competitive ganes, they tend to be more serious, but when they are playing qualifiers or very small team, u see them acting pompous, having a sense that they are higher than their opponent and end up losing the game
