@kokoboy11, download bluetooth ftp from the market. look for someone that has the data file on phone, ftp to the persons phone using the app and copy the file to your phone. its usually in Android/data/. then install the PES2012 apk with the screen size of your phone. its how I install the game in other phones and tablets from my phone.

I have noticed something on my android that might be helpful to others. I have an LG p350 into which I installed WiFi manager. I also have an android tablet (beautifully slim and thin) into which I installed dolphin browser mini. I don't have a laptop. if you activate the hotspot on the p350 without activating internet access and you activate the WiFi manager, you can browse the content of the p350 with the tablet and transfer files to each android without internet access.

i love that To God be the glory.
mine was in 1993. occurred around 8 pm. due to lack of electricity,the generator was on. my aunt went out to buy something.after a while we heard her shouting something but we didn't understand what was going on. next thing we knew we saw two boys dragging her back into the house.they pointed their local guns at us and gold us to lie down.they then dragged my father to his room and told him to bring out all his money after which they locked us all in the toilet.through the window i could see two more boys at the gate acting as lookouts. when they left, i broke the door and ran to the gate (i was young,i was stupid and i was seeing red and believed in action movies then).i checked the street but couldn't identify any of them. i ran to the junction and stood for a while searching for them (still don't know what gave me the liver).i was not wearing any shoes or shirt. never saw them. called the police who came the next day and their keys words were "its those same boys". thank God i have grown out of that stupidity

1. I said I don't know where it was developed.I only know its being sold in Nigeria and seems it was created here.
2. click on the link provided and check the bottom right of the website.
3. if its made in Nigeria ( as I thought it was) I would endorse it.
4. in regards to cost (I don't know how much it cost) a Playbook is affordable. in regards to apps, seriously? a Playbook to android? considering RIM is porting android to the next Playbook.

the bottom line is If the android tablet (as advertised in the link above) is made or assembled in Nigeria, its a good idea.if its not, then its better getting an a flyer or a zoom or a tab. but you can cut your coat according to your size

i don't care if it was assemblied in nigeria with parts that where imported from God knows where,the bottom line that we have an android tablet made in nigeria.and bone what you say,that it got good reviews from Gigaom and Slashgear in the tech world is enough testimonal for it sales. i admit,with a RAM of 256MB, a processor speed of 800Mhz and android 2.1,it is well below par but it is thr FIRST of its kind in Nigeria so i would support the guy in anyway possible. there is a hot market for tablets and if you can not afford to buy an ipad (which most nigerians can't)any tablet would be appreciated (most people don't even use a tablet effectively).i hope to see better products from the guy

for those talking about ipad and kindle or galaxy tab, they don't have usb ports,memory card slots or HDMI port(i love this one). i have a friend who has ipad 2 and has booked for an ipad 3 but she saw my android tablet with HDMI port and immediately went and bought one (was wondering what was run but she is a woman with plenty money and no clue on technology).so each has its advantages and disadvantages.

Technology Market › Use A Nokia Battery For Most Led Lamps by Leopantro(op): 10:15pm On Mar 11, 2012
Do you know you can use a regular Nokia battery to power up most LED lamps that require big batteries and it last for 3hours?
its quite simple and you never have to buy D or AA cell batteries again.

INSTRUCTIONS
1.Carefully open up an LED lamp.in my case I used the white 28 LED lamp that requires 3 D cell batteries.they are quite cheap.
2.Disconnect the two wires that connect to the battery casing.
3. Connect them to the metal prongs of a desktop charger.you don't need to dismantle the charger.just attach them carefully to the metal without them touching.
4. Attach the charger to the back of the lamp.you could tread the wire through the battery casing of the lamp.
5.Connect a fully charged Nokia battery to the desktop charger like you want to charge it the normal way and it will power the lamp.

granted this is a crude way to use the lamp but my lamp batteries died on me and I was tired of buying expensive batteries. I have three Nokia batteries lying around so decided, what the heck? it last about 2 he's 30 mins and with three rechargable Nokia batteries,its good enough.
just throwing it out for people with no fuel for generator and are afraid of candles

trying to bring u in for
questioning.

Lolz. I love that statement because I also do y
that. It doesn't give them time to compose or maintain a lie.the greatest mistake is to ask do you drink alcohol? they would swear by their late mother ( who most times would be in the market) that they stopped drinking last month. I simply ask how many bottles of small stout do you drink and do you was your month with sapele water in the morning. you will be amazed by what you hear. if they say one or two bottles,I'm hearing four to five bottles

Politics › Senate Detects N1tr Fraud In 2012 by Leopantro(op): 12:14pm On Feb 15, 2012
The National Assembly
Committee on
Appropriation’s
announcement yesterday
discovered how some federal
Government Ministries
Department and Agencies
secretly included an illegal
over N1trillion projects into
the N4.7trillion fiscal
estimate.
Following this, the alleged
smuggled items into the 2012
fiscal estimate have
increased it to about
N5.7trillion.
Already, the revelation have
created panic in federal
government ministries as it
was gathered by “Daily Post”
those who involved in the
alleged fraud are now
seeking for the assistance of
their godfathers.
Revealing this, Chairman of
the Senate Committee on
Appropriation, Senator
Ahmed Maccido, alleged that
over 40 percent of the
projects are not captured in
the budget presented to the
National Assembly by
President Goodluck Jonathan
last year.
He said some individuals
working at federal
government ministries have
created inflation into the
2012 budget illegally.
“We at the committee level
would throw out all these
because they are not in the
original budget.” He noted
besides, it was learnt by
“Daily Post” that the National
Assembly may pass the
budget before the end of this
month.
Senator Maccido assured
that members of the
committee would ensure that
they went through the
budget thoroughly in order
to expunge all the
unauthorized projects.
“The committee has
discovered what we call
substantial changes in the
2012 budget .The committee
can would put the budget as
presented by the MDGS and
the President and expunge
the unauthorized projects.
“The problem is that, we are
seeing projects that are not
in the original version of the
budget presented to us by
President Goodluck Jonathan
and substantial part of these
projects are being smuggled
into the budget by the MDGS
and Ministers.
“Over 40 percent of the
projects in the budget are
not in the original budget.
And we are saying no, to the
items so smuggled, which is
over N1trillion.
“So we are right now
comparing the budget as
originally presented by the
President and the version
presented by the MDGS.
Unless these projects are
there in the original budget,
we are going to scrap them.
It’s no longer going to be
business as usual.
“These people are just
smuggling in projects that
are not in the budgets. And
we are going to remove
them,” he stated.
Meanwhile, the Senate has
given a matching order to its
standing committees to
submit their reports to the
appropriation committee for
necessary legislative action.
Spokesman of the Senate,
Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe
confirmed that the Senate is
ready to approve the budget
before the end of the month.

1. root your phone. go to lifehacker and check how to root your particular type of phone.if your phone is on a carrier, can't help yo.

2. uninstall all your applications that you installed with the exception of your file manager. if possible,do a phone reset to original default. back up your contacts and messages to your memory card.

3. install move2SD. make sure you tick usb bugging in application>development>usb bugging. then run the app,read the instructions,select the external option and you are done.

4. now install the apps that you want.

note that froyo has the ability to transfer some apps to SD but not all.this app ensures all apps are installed into SD or can be transfered . you can also install SD-booster so that reading your apps from the SD is faster.use the value 4096.

@mobinga, I have an LG P350 that comes with 160mb RAM.most games I have have about 24mb and above. when you install the game it takes its size in mb from the internal memory. very soon after you buy an Android, you run out of space to install more stuff. when you install move2SD on a rooted phone, it installs all applications on the memory card. so a 42mb apk file when installed takes about 2mb. I have over 150 apps and games on my phone and still have 93mb left.

I forgot SPD shell. when people see it on my phone, their jaws fall and remain on the floor.
Phones › Re: What Is Your Top Ten Favourite Android Apps? by Leopantro: 4:50pm On Jan 23, 2012
1. move2SD. seriously, if your Android has a low RAM size and you are not using this, you are restricting your phone.
2. Bluetooth file transfer. I love this. you can even send contacts and stream music from someone else phone.
3. Root explorer. I use it to delete files that remain after uninstalling an app. use with caution.
4. Pro evolution soccer. I'm not a soccer fan but the tilt feature is awesome.
5. Opera mini. the fastest browser so far.
6. Need For Speed Shift. again the tilt and speed is sick
7. Skies of Glory. it's even better than Tom clancy's H.A.W.K
8. Plume. I love Twitter but still don't understand it.
9. TouchPal keyboard.enjoy the Swype.
10. Mini squadron. addictive

please, has anyone got street fighter working on LG p 350? would give all my games to have it
Politics › Reason For Removal Of Subsidy And Why It Would Not Work by Leopantro(op): 11:39am On Jan 15, 2012
Since the Nigerian
government ended
longstanding gasoline
subsidies as of New Year's
Day, Nigerians have
responded with nationwide
strikes and protests, resulting
in several deaths. The
government has a chance to
respond in turn, by
addressing the rampant
corruption and
mismanagement of the
country's oil industry.
The gasoline subsidy
embodied the worst
characteristics of the
country's economic
governance. In 2011, the
subsidy on gasoline cost the
government over $9 billion,
more than the entire federal
government capital budget
and about double the
subsidy's cost in 2010. Global
fuel prices did not, of course,
double during this time
period. Nigeria's tab
skyrocketed thanks to the
costly, corrupt system by
which the country produces
and imports gasoline, as well
as rising interest charges and
insurance premiums as
government failed to pay fuel
importers on time.
By the end of 2011, Nigeria
owed importers over $4
billion. Relying on the
Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC), the
national oil company, the
government devised
complex, opaque methods
for covering import costs,
including swap deals where
crude oil was awarded to
commodity traders in
exchange for gasoline and
other refined products.
Officials allowed the subsidy
to rise because it included
lucrative opportunities for
corruption. In 2009, then
President Umaru Yar'Adua
called the manipulation of
prices and supplies "the
greatest institutional
corruption in the history of
the nation." Only when NNPC
faced bankruptcy -- owing
billions of dollars to
importers as well as to the
treasury -- did the
government decide to end
the subsidy.
This will not eliminate
corruption in the oil sector.
That would require the kind
of coherent reform that the
administration of President
Goodluck Jonathan has so far
postponed. The Petroleum
Industry Bill , which would
restructure the industry, has
idled in parliament for years.
NNPC, which is unique
among the world's largest
national oil companies in its
total reliance on international
traders to sell its crude, has
similarly resisted change.
Unable to pay its share of
operating expenses, it
maintains financing deals
with international oil
company partners that cut
deeply into national
earnings. Yet it is allowed to
regulate itself and manage
the country's four refineries,
which produce at 40 percent
capacity on the best of days.
Transparency and oversight
are limited throughout the
sector. The petroleum
ministry and regulatory
bodies provide no
information to the public,
and NNPC fails to disclose
even an annual financial
report much less its audit
statements. Most of the
sector's financial
transactions -- including
NNPC's earnings, and
transfers to the diminished
Excess Crude Account -- do
not appear as part of the
budget thereby sidestepping
legislative and public
scrutiny. Nigeria's reports
under the Extractive
Industries Transparency
Initiative suffer delays, so far
covering only the years
through 2008. Executive
discretion prevails over most
decisions, including the
allocation of valuable
exploration, production and
export licenses.
High oil prices and increased
production should have
made 2010-2011 the most
profitable years yet for the
Nigeria. However, the
country's economic health
worsened. Budget deficit
estimates exceeded $8 billion
in 2011 and, over the last
three years, foreign reserves
dropped by 40 percent and
public debt doubled.
Only a package of reforms
will correct the paradox of
robust revenue potential and
declining fortunes. Removing
the subsidy will not solve the
larger economic problems
unless additional reforms
take place, including the re-
drafting, passage and
implementation of the
Petroleum Industry Bill in a
manner that eliminates the
current system's
opportunities for inefficiency
and graft.
Much can be done to make
the sector more accountable
to the public interest. NNPC
should make public its
financial reports. Discretion
and secrecy should be
removed from the allocation
of licenses and the regulation
of exports and imports. The
status of the Excess Crude
Account requires
explanation, as does that of
the proposed new sovereign
wealth fund. And these
reforms must include clear
deadlines for action.
To generate economic
development, the
government will also need to
fulfill its promise to
transparently use these
savings to improve
infrastructure and social
services. It will also need to
implement the public sector
cuts announced by President
Jonathan on Dec. 8, including
a 25 percent reduction in civil
servant pay . Moreover,
public trust will only be
rebuilt through committed
investigation and prosecution
of corruption, and measures
such as declaration of
assets.
The problems are well
known, but so are the
concrete steps that can
increase transparency,
accountability and the
earnings of the state. They
have worked in other
countries and can help
Nigeria too.
It is not too late for Nigeria's
government to make the end
of its fuel subsidy the
beginning of reform. Citizens
will bear the cost of the
higher fuel prices. This
sacrifice will be worthwhile
only if the nation's oil wealth
begins to serve the public's
interests rather than those of
only a favored few.

Jokes Etc › I Hate Kids by Leopantro(op): 3:27pm On Dec 28, 2011
If you are 30 or older you will think
this is hilarious!!!!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore
me to tears with their tedious
diatribes about how hard things were.
When they were growing up; what
with walking Twenty-five miles to
school every morning… . Uphill…
barefoot… BOTH ways Yadda, yadda,
yadda
And I remember promising myself
that when I grew up, there was no
way in hell I was going to lay a bunch
of crap like that on my kids about how
hard I had it and how easy they’ve got
it!
But now that… I’m over the ripe old
age of thirty, I can’t help but look
around and notice the youth of today.
You’ve got it so easy! I mean,
compared to my childhood, you live in
a damn Utopia!
And I hate to say it, but you kids
today, you don’t know how good
you’ve got it!
I mean, when I was a kid we didn’t
have The Internet. If we wanted to
know something, we had to go to the
damn library and look it up ourselves,
in the card catalogue!!
There was no email!! We had to
actually write somebody a letter – with
a pen!
Then you had to walk all the way
across the street and put it in the
mailbox and it would take, like, a week
to get there! Stamps were 10 cents!
Child Protective Services didn’t care
if our parents beat us. As a matter of
fact, the parents of all my friends also
had permission to kick our ass!
Nowhere was safe!
There were no MP3 ‘ s or Napsters! If
you wanted to steal music, you had to
hitchhike to the damn record store
and shoplift it yourself!
Or you had to wait around all day to
tape it off the radio and the DJ would
usually talk over the beginning and @
#*% it all up! There were no CD
players! We had tape decks in our car.
We’d play our favorite tape and “eject”
it when finished and the tape would
come undone. Cause – that’s how we
rolled, dig?
We didn’t have fancy crap like Call
Waiting! If you were on the phone
and somebody else called they got a
busy signal, that’s it!
And we didn’t have fancy Caller ID
either!
When the phone rang, you had no
idea who it was! It could be your
school, your mom, your boss, your
bookie, your drug dealer, a collections
agent, you just didn’t know!!! You had
to pick it up and take your chances,
mister!
We didn’t have any fancy Sony
Playstation video games with high-
resolution 3-D graphics! We had the
Atari 2600! With games like ‘Space
Invaders’ and ‘Asteroids’. Your guy
was a little square! You actually had to
use your imagination!! And there
were no multiple levels or screens, it
was just one screen… . forever!
And you could never win. The game
just kept getting harder and harder
and faster and faster until you died!
Just like LIFE!
You had to use a little book called a TV
Guide to find out what was on! You
were screwed when it came to
channel surfing! You had to get off
your ass and walk over to the TV to
change the channel! NO REMOTES!!!
There was no Cartoon Network either!
You could only get cartoons on
Saturday Morning. Do you hear what
I’m saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK
for cartoons, you spoiled little…,
And we didn’t have microwaves, if we
wanted to heat something up we had
to use the stove! Imagine that!
That’s exactly what I’m talking about!
You kids today have got it too easy.
You’re spoiled. You guys wouldn’t
have lasted five minutes back in 1980
or before!
Regards,
The Over 30 Crowd

Jokes Etc › Installing Your Husband by Leopantro(op): 6:55am On Dec 23, 2011
Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 and then installed undesirable programs such as NBA 5.0 , NFL 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate

***

DEAR DESPERATE,

First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System. Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and don't forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. But remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5 , Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta. Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-In-Law 1.0 ( it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources .) Also do not attempt to reinstall Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0. In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.


Good Luck,
Tech Support
