Is dat not wat google is doing today.. google has mobile fones today.. And dey always provide update for their fones bfor anyoda android fone.. Y is samsung htc lg etc not complaining.. Firefox os is already dead.. Same as sailfish os.. Non of this OS gained popularity as tizen.. Not even close.. Slowly tizen will spread from india and bangladesh to oda asia countries..

Thanks my bro for your understanding. Google doesn't really own a phone. They contract it to OEM . first OEM was HTC , makercof g1 when android debuted. Both Samsung, LG and currently Motorola makes Google devices. So they can't really be in direct competition.

For instance, LG makes for Google but they don't put their killer features like tap to wake on their Google phones. Same with sammy and HTC.

Besides Google only makes these phones to showcase android undiluted; stock android since Samsung tweaks thiers with touchwiz, LG with optimus, HTC with HTC sense.

TrapLORD:
fixed!

I'm sure firsteva won't mind

In all honesty she won't.

It's a new year, keep hope alive

U've started bashing girls this new year, fear God naw, that girl is a black beauty, encourage her instead of spoil her market

You didn't reply my last email, sugar.

Never mind her, she made a condescension here on Bsc holders , and when I politely called her to defend her remarks, she threw up a fit like the imposter she is.

Anyways, I've gently nudged her into the corners of my trashcan. She can fume all she may, I have elected not to care.


But you, your entrance here is pure surprise. Have you travelled? You're the only trap I don't mind walking into.

firstEVA:
lezz lezz, hmmmmm,






It's not fair

Here comes the mother of all my crushes, online and offline. Where have you been ? You managed to hand me an anticlimactic new year!.

ollah1:
You are writing trash bro. Nokia killed themselves and nobody saw it coming I'm the beginning. If your software is open source and you also make phones with same software and you ensure the software is one for the best in the market while not sleeping by introducing new creative features and innovations, the said oems would use your software.

You also knew that blackberry was gonna die too right? You make use of the word "WE". Who are the "WE"?

So cos Firefox isn't an OEM nw totally means the lyrics will success ahead of Tizen? Utter crap you wrote

Bro, As soon as Google made a move to acquire android Nokia reaction is, and I Quote verbatim : Google is coming to disrupt the mobile market". This was way back in 2006. Please don't make this personal. Nokia saw it coming, I saw it coming.
That's why they bought all of symbian and open sourced it hoping to stall Google. That's why they reinvented the S60 touch starting with the 5800, remember?

Because they knew it was time. We saw it coming.

And when I meant we, I'm referring to GSM affectionadoes that were addicts from the days of palm OS, UIQ, S60, to windows mobile and Java/feature phones.

I don't want to make this personal in the line you chose but android and IOS are like yesterday to me.

I have bought a 512mb memory card for 8,500 Naira then when they were no 2gb memory card yet.

I used the first Nokia mega pixel camera phone Nokia 7610 that was just 1 mega pixel camera and followed by the 3230 1.2mp and 6630 1.3mp. That's the history I'm coming from, bro.

We were already far deep into GSM when android was only a rumour.

That's it. Take it however you may. It's all an opinion. So long.

ollah1:
Guy quit hyping the hell outta urself.

@the emboldened how did you know and how do you know?

I didn't know I was coming off as self-praising. My apologies.

Let me try to answer your questions.

When Google was rumouring to buy android, we all new if it worked it would be the end to symbian. How?

Because Nokia had the biggest stakes in symbian and owned S60 all to itself. Samsung, Siemens, Sendo, etc were paying Nokia per unit of every S60 phone they shiped. Nokia was making money from them and still beating them to the market with better software integration and hardware compatibility. On top of this, Nokia often released the latest symbian on its devices before its rivaling OEM that uses same OS.

There was little choice so Samsung and other had little choice. And then Google with no interests in mobile market was rumouring android to make completely open sourced . Nokia cried foul and bought all of symbian including UIQ (the SonyEricsson UI of symbian) and made it open sourced too.

But there's still one problem, Nokia still had a controlling share and is an OEM to be competing directly with other same OEM's in the project.

WE KNEW THEN THAT GOOGLE WILL FLY HIGH.It's one of the reasons, though not entirely why Nokia was so reluctant to join the android train.



On, the Firefox OS, some of the reasons above holds true here too. They are not an OEM and will have no motive to seek personal advantage in market share. They can create and pull a bigger ecosystem than Samsung.

Hope I'm clear, at least, understood.

PussySandie:
Traplord-2 , another Bsc holder racket.. I hail thee

And you're a master degree or PhD holder? Let me sum it for you:

I'm guessing you had your Bsc (but I honestly doubt if you went the entire distance without swapping your pen for a diick).

And you're still without a job, (judging by your cheap choice of clothing and footwear and utter lack of grace).

Then you proceeded to your PhD still without a job. Girl you lack sophistication even for a cosmopolitan secondary school girl.

You obviously think throwing your lowgrade and slummy pictures so lacking in flare will win you easy validation and notoriety amongst your peerage in nairaland?


You're a village girl still learning the rops to social sophistication.

Firstly, your make-up is that of a common _slut; needy, noisy and screaming to be noticed.

With eyelashes betraying your desperate need for social validation.

You and your social circles still look dependent, having never worked for their entire living.

Your look is a tad near average, not that bad actually, but your facial expression and camera pose are still unsophisticated and depict a total lack of self confidence, exposure and self- knowledge.


I can see the desperation and burning need for social approval in your eyes.

Stop trying too hard, dear. Elegance is something unknown to your genes. You're not born with style.

ollah1:
You talk as if you have got a time machine and know exactly what the future entails. Smh

I've been too long in the mobile game not to be able to make acfairly accurate projection.

Long before Android came, we know symbian was going down. So Nokia hurriedly bought the entire stake and granted it near-open policy status. But It failed due to its poor ecosystem and Nokia being the best selling mobile brand who all others including Samsung, Siemens, Ericsson--later SonyEricsson, etc saw as too ambitious.
Remember even Samsung was licencing S60 from Nokia then.
Samsung is in that same shoe today trying to float a new mobile OS. I tell you, Firefox mobile OS stands a better chance than Tizen.

When Nokia teamed up with Intel to create meego, it still failed. I think OEM's want the Microsoft experience. Let a none active company hold the OS not a fellow OEM.

TrapLORD:
Do you even have a brain? Calling the Bsc degree "mere" is an insult to not just me but millions of nigerian graduates out there!
Its like insulting me for passing outta secondary school you iidiot!

No one in your poverty stricken lineage including your dead-beat dad has seen the four walls of a higher institution let alone a certificate.

Oh, she's among the intellectually vulnerable blown by every academic wind.

No where in the world is Bsc ordinary.

PussySandie:
I'm done with your boss traplord. He's far below.. Damn!. I'm sorry for stooping so low to a "mere" Bsc holder..

Let me see if you also have the brain like ur boss or not..

Come again lezz

I know a logical answer is beyond your mental efforts. But no, I don't care to indulge your petty penchant for idle banter. I only desire to point you to your educational destitution.

I wish you luck in your desperate attempts here to relive your failed dreams of being a porn-star and nude-celebrity.

Your pics have no class by the way. You're a cheap, drowning Jane by all account.

PussySandie:
The highlighted statement made me not to go further in commenting. . Anyways thanks for that bolded statement
Trap.lord the Bsc holder . Enjoy

PussySandie:
Ignore trap.lord.. He holds a Bsc

And What's wrong in holding a Bsc? How do you make it a point of ridicule? It would have been comical if it weren't so unsettlingly disturbing.

safo99:
To me o.. I feel tizen will continue to grow because d indians love it..

India alone can't change mobile roadmap. Android is still number one in india. The growth of a platform in a single country can't be used as a success indicator.

safo99:
D samsung z1 was a huge success in india and bangladesh..das y dey overtook bb as d 4th largest os..

BlackBerry is fated in a sudden eventual death that is nigh. BlackBerry has been dead the world over even when it was so hyped in Nigeria. Many European countries and middle East countries has banned the use of the OS and device. Not even in USA and Canada is BlackBerry OS a big thing.

safo99:
Developers nw are trooping in developing apps for d platform..

You mean samsung's own home developers. Which third party software developer will invest effort, time and money to develope programme for an OS that has no clear roadmap, that is not a leading OS in any country or region? An OS that has only two mobile phone devices running on it? Samsung can use PR and pay low-level developers to promote this OS but it will eventually head the path of Bada.

safo99:
And u can see how tizen works flawlessly on d gear s2.. Samsung just released d z3 nw in india and bangladesh and a new version of tizen.. Let's watch and see d success d new device will bring

You mean it works flawlessly with Samsung gear/mobile wristwatches? That's not same as a mobile phone. It took Google years to attain a reasonable stability.

Beside an OS can only survive based on the ecosystem the developer and maintainers can build. Samsung doesn't have it and never will. Tizen is for accessories, that's where it will end up eventually.

So you think, HTC, sony, LG, Nokia, etc will in the future use Tizen? Laughs. OEMs building OS, those days died with Nokia. And that's one of the key reasons android survived, apart from its open source policy; All the OEM supported it because Google was a none competitor and thus trusted.

If Tizen succeeds, Samsung will have an advantage over other OEM. Cant work.

Weeee:
I was at a Church today and I almost wept for the black race. Is it that people don't read their Bibles or they just choose to be gullible and stupid?

The Pastor or Prophet as he claimed he was always said that he isn't a beggar and he doesn't need anybody's money, but his actions were quite different. He acted like a beggar to me.

He was even so bold to request for so much money from his members and they saw nothing wrong at all. Okay, let me list all the money he collected so you can see for yourselves.

1) Who wants to give God the biggest note he/ she has in his/ her pocket?

2) Brown envelope.

3) White envelope.

4) Offering

5) Who wants to give money to the visiting Prophet? Tell the prophet thank you, Sow a seed now.

6) If you have 5000, 10,000 or any big amount of money you want to give to God.

Women came out mostly and I must say the church made almost N200, 000 or even more in just a day and this happens every Tuesday and other days they fellowship.

Things I noticed about the church...

1) The Pastor is an owner of a big car, while the members were mostly poor women and few men.

2) The Pastors dressed far better than the members. In fact, the members looked like people with lots of financial problems.

3) The only things the members get from these Pastors are prayers and a promise that God will reward them in 2016. I remember that I went to this same church some years back and the members still looked the same with no much of a change.

When will Nigerians get back to their senses to realize that these Pastors are using their beliefs, emotions and gullibility to steal all the money they have?

Only when we begin to think and come to a reasonable conclusion that God doesn't need money, but humans do, that is when we will begin to think right.

I wish I could take a video of what went on.

The combination of poverty and illiteracy is the most potent force any false pastor needs to enlave his followers.

Africa, especially Nigeria has the most ignorantly religious who expect miracles without work.

After politicians and GSM operators, I believe churches rake in the biggest revenue without even employing people. Church ushers, sweepers , etc get peanuts, if any, while some pastors run the church as a family business.

Their wives soon earn the title as "Mama", or " mommy" and is revered as the next-in-command without any or much spiritual gifts or endowment. Their son is being prepped up to succeed the father as head pastor. His only qualification is of course being the pastor's son. The business must remain within the family.



You have individuals with dynamic personalities as pastors just because they are charismatic in nature, they sway the crowd especially foolish women with peanut-sized brains. These are people who should have been marketers in banks, or sales persons in big firms or PRO in a large organisation, but why opt for the long and tedious path when you have millions of gullible and spiritually blind folks waiting to be ripped off and become your spiritual slave?

petaling:
Stop the misinformation.
Samsung is a multi-OS company. It builds for Android, Tizen and Windows.
It makes more money than any other OM from Android.
Their flagship tablet, the S - series are still the most Powerful Android tablet.
Samsung has no plan of dropping Android for now.
It develops Tizen to avoid 100% reliance on Google Android.

Oh, Tizen will be shrouded in doubt and then fail just like Bada did.

Samsung doesn't have the muscle or experience to pull off an operating system now that each operating systems rely on ecosystem to survive. That's one of the reasons Samsung's Bada OS failed spectacularly.

Don't forget Samsung doesn't even take credit for Tizen . you remember meego? It used to be Meamo or something --that joint project OS from Nokia and Intel that powered Nokia N9 and N900. That's the OS Samsung picked and dusted then tweaked a little and calls it Tizen.


In the world of competing OEM's, No one will trust an Operating system built by another OEM who will be competing with them on same market. It is one of the reasons S60 wasn't really trusted back in the days of Nokia's dominance.


We expect to see Tizen confined to Samsung gears and cameras at best.

TrapLORD:
Hehehe.. That's the spirit. 2016 started on a superb note for me though, my plans have been sailing with ease lately.

Jokes aside bro, I enjoy every bit of my time here despite having loads of dimwits to contend with, you gotta admit its kind of fun!

I tell you, after taking and giving knocks in the political and auto sections as well the technological side, I often come to cool off here and recuperate before heading back .

2016 is starting great I must confess.

TrapLORD:
Its sickening to see threads like these, they all trying hard to be Mr.cork. Even Mr.cork trolls with a certain kind of finesse.

Intelligent trolls on romance section?? Not everyone can have Leslie's eloquence man..

Where you been??

Man, I've been in Enugu since 4th pursing 2016 with a rage.

If there aren't so many bimbos in Romance section, the shallow guys won't be all around here boring us with sickening topics and empty lines.

Romans section is where all of Nairaland's emotionally and intellectually corrupted and stunted are domiciled.

Unfortunately, lately, it is where I elect to come play.

TrapLORD:
Trolling has gone to the dogs

Man, that's so true. Trolling has always been for the intellectually apt and mind readers who have a broad knowledge base.

Now we have teenage bullies and cyber-nuisance corrupting the beauty of trolling. Have to go underground especially when modern definition of troll has become synonymous with bullying and online baseless intimidation.

kayoade09:
Good evening fellow nairalanders....... I finished my NYSC on 15th of October and fortunately for me, I got my offer letter last week. The total payoff after a month is 30k, I'm to resume on monday but some of my siblings advised me not to accept the offer because I am a second class upper student(B.SC) and I'm less than 24. Probably a better offer will come in because I'm still in the employment age cycle. Pls advice me on this cos I dont knw wen that better offer will come in and another believe I have is that half bread is better than none.

When does employers determine your salary by your grade?

Whether you made ordinary Pass or 3rd class or 2.2 or 1st class, you're a Bsc holder and that will determine your salary structure.


Dumb graduates these days with dumb mods taking thrash to front page.

[s] This virginity thing. It seems a big issue for you. And it’s generating awkward contradictions in you. It’s the hidden reason you’re struggling with your emotions. You’re conflicted inside because you know you have no standing.

Okay, here’s the thing: In life, you must learn to use appropriate yardstick to judge and determine issues. You don’t use a ruler for example to measure the purity of water. That’s an inappropriate instrument though a measurement. Neither do you use a stethoscope to measure the pressure of a tyre. It’s a wrong pressure gauge. In the same manner, you can’t use dutifulness in church as parameter to determine the suitability of a conjugal prospect. It can serve as corroborative factor or even corroborant, but it cannot be the primary basis of consideration. A good church worker is not necessarily going to be a good wife, though the word “good” is common. Two separate issues. I mean, that she can sing down the heavens doesn’t mean she will make you a good wife. Vocal dexterity is not qualification for coupling. Choir is not a marriage context. If you base your marriage decision on her ability to sing, you’re clearly using a wrong means of measurement. A singing voice for example cannot help you determine if she’s clean or a relative of Unhygienix of Asterix fame. That’s how people arrive at wrong marital decisions. They use wrong parameters. And such a mistake can prove very costly to a man in particular.

[/s] There's nothing as a Virgin man.

If a man makes it his priority to aquire a virgin wife, let it be. It is a good thing. Don't use clever, verbose wording to discourage them.


Oh, yes, in sexual situations, they'll always be two standards of measurement: One for men and the other for women. You can't changed that. Stop the _bullshit.

Sex takes place inside you and does magic to your sense of layalty, bonding, emotions and all. For men, it is often but not always different.


Oh, and a virgin wife has a lot less baggage coming into marriage. She's more teachable, amendable and much more tolerant.

The intake valves and the heat from the engine can cause fuel sprayed from your injectors to dry up and create accumulated deposits on top of them. This deposits on top of the intake valves can then absorb incoming fuel and rob the engine of it power over time.

Another direct cause of lost of power in engines are accumulated deposits that occurs in the actual combustion chamber, when carbon deposits form as a byproduct of the air and fuel combustion reducing its efficiency. These deposit can travel to other areas of the engine and cause a lot of issues to your car, including hesitation and stalling if left unattended to especially in German cars coupled with bad fuel(non Premium fuel)

Therefore, it is necessary to always clean out your engine once in a while. Removing these engine deposit may include pouring some additives into you fuel tank;manually cleaning some parts of your engine such as :

1)fuel injectors and throttle bodies(Fuel injectors are so tiny that a clog of only tiny deposit can induce stalling, engine hesitation or loss of power)

2)Throttle bodies (You'll need to remove the emissions hoses, intake air hose, sensor wires and anything else connected to your car's air intake in order to clean this parts manually)

2)intake valves (Deposit here can cause hesitation and stalling)

3)Combustion chambers (deposits here can raise the octane requirement of the engine and even cause premature fuel detonation, making your car very inefficient that "chop you great fuel"

4) Your engine (Not all deposit in your engine are caught by your engine oil filter. If these particles become excessive, it can gummed up and form sludge and gunk which clean oil alone can't flush them out. But the chemicals used in an engine flush will be able to do these to stop further wear and tear allowing fresh oil to move through tiny crevices and crankcase of your engine)


An engine flush removes the gunk, which keeps the parts running smoothly. That in turn can make the engine more efficient, bringing the power and fuel efficiency closer to what the car had when it left the factory. In very old cars, however, the engine flush might clean these piston rings, valves, and other parts a little too well. Sometimes, the gunk acts as spackle in non-metallic parts like rubber seals that have cracked with age. Cleaning out the gunk exposes those cracks, and the weakness of those parts becomes apparent.

View this example of cheap/affordable but very effective engine flush. Please note that this is not Mercedes Benz nor any manufacturers standard , but it works. It worked for my 1994 Benz c180 and my 2004 ML 500 which i just did recently.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK33EHlk_M0


Additives will vary based on the type of engine, what they're cleaning and how often they should be used. Just make sure you follow the instructions properly.

Thanks Op for this. Can you please give us any name of engine flush product we could use ?

Only insane Nigerians would sign that petition against Mr. President.

The Judicial arm of Government in Nigeria is as corrupt as Dasuki.

Court Orders have to be flouted in dealing with some criminals. We can't risk Dasuki jumping bail, we can't risk Kanu roaming the streets thereby potentially sparking a Hutsu/Tsutsi situation in Nigeria.

This is the change we asked for

#fearlesspresident

#GodblessPMB

I wish the bolded isn't part of your other wise beautiful submission.

Nothing can ever justify the disregard of a competent court of law in any civilised country. It is counterproductive and set a horrible precedent for abuse of power and authority.

If kalu is granted bail by any competed court, it becomes the duty of the Nigerian police and DSS to keep a tag on him--that's their job.

Disobeying and flaunting court order by the president to solve a legal matter is like taking a medication whose cure is only worse than the ailment.

Soon if the Senate President, or IG or a Governor disobeys a court order, has the presidency not thrown away its moral right and justification in calling for the inviolability of the rule of law?
