If you want to criticize a post, you can do it without throwing insults. You called me a kid but you just acted like one. You made some salient points and, normally I would've proven my point to you, but I won't, because I'm sure there'll still be another derogatory remark in your reply.
I won't give you the honor of another reply.
Shalom.

You are absolutely right, my bad! Sorry men! I acted in bad faith, accept my sincere apologies.

The phone sales was never the target. Yes, Huawei is 3rd in global mobile phone sales but their 5G business has always been the target.
the US is far behind in the tech and it's a kick in their stomachs for a Chinese company to beat them to releasing 5G infrastructure and dominating 5G sales

When you guys open your mouth sometimes, you just speak like the kids that you are truly are...Your post clearly show your lack of depth on this topic and exposes you to the fact that, this topic is above your pay grade!

When it comes to 5G Huawei is a consumer just like most Nigerians consumer. 3gpp is the main standard bodies that formulates and but the building blocks together for everything telecom and they are the ones that design and develop 3gpp, including the ietf organization and US Tech Companies and R & D industries are the huge 3gpp and ieft drivers, designers and developers....Huawei merely goes to 3gpp to consumer what they have already put there and made possible and have tested in in R& facilities in the US.

Saying that, Huawei is far ahead of the US, because they were first to publicly consume what major players in US design, develop, tested and pushed to 3gpp is the same as saying that, the Building Architect that rendered a phenomenal sky-scrapper using AutoCad software must be way ahead of the developers of that AutoCad software...you know, this is mere ignorance.

5G is not a proprietary technology, it is open source...Any tech company who have implemented 2G, 3G, etc can easily implement 5G; it is not a rock science. 3gpp standards and specs for 5G are open standard developed by the community.

When you search online for IoT, AI, Virtual Reality, Argumented Reality, M2M, driveless cars, Big Data, etc...US and not China popup mostly, and these are the main drivers for 5G. 5G brings more processing power and speed close to the edge of the radio network as much as possible which are needed by the above technologies to drive other innovations and not some stupid 5G handsets, which are a mere derivative beneficiary of 5G.

California and many States in the US have starting reworking their motor vehicle laws to make allowance for driverless cars, that Google and Uber had been testing for years and since these car process millions of data per second in a fast changing environment and must make life and death decision based on the output of the data huge Edge radio networks provided by 5G and other Edge technologies are needed.

Lastly, China is a communist State and the government put money in bringing these technologies to consumers, the US is purely driven by capitalist instincts and ensure that, the consumers drives the speed of deployment as this is the only way they can make profit.

Finally, a 5G handsets are as useless to most people in the US today, because your optimal gain is not much in comparison to existing LTE & 4G technologies when stacked against the cost of deployment.

....R & D for these technologies have been tested in the US far beyond China. When you search driverless car, Uber driverless car, connected cars, etc things that uses AI, VR, AR on 5G; you see them in the US and not in China. There are many 5G networks in the US testing out these technology with big advancement in Edge-Technologies that bring greater speed and computing power to the Edge that are beyond 5G.

Don’t marry her please!

You already have a misgiving in heart when it comes to her. You don’t go to the market and settle for what you don’t like with the hope that, you will grow to like it one day.

Release her and let her go, someone else across the street love her just the way she is, let that person have her; while you keep searching for your heart desires and I pray that you find her.

Tell her to borrow you her used pants, she abandone you before you say Jack Robinson.

Thank me later, bros...what are friends for. This sense no go kill me!

chronique:
I'm sure you read the beginning of the write up. It was inspired by the stories of guys commiting suicide over women. It wasn't written to address suicide in general.

It is still a stupid post regardless.

Weak minded people will still commit suicidal.

If they don’t do it if their ex break up with them, they will do it if they loss material possessions.

If you scratch the surface deep enough, you will find out that, the real reason they commit suicide is because they are emotionally unstable.

Address and treat their emotional instability and they wouldn’t think of suicide, even if 20 Queen Elizabeths break up with them.

hamrof:
this is a case that no one can actually pick out who is at fault. but I believe the guy shouldn't have gone that far, the best payback is moving on on getting more batter

Not true.

Am yet to see where the lady is at fault here.

Either party are free to walk out any relationship at anytime, with or without fault even if they are married. The Bible even permit divorce under certain condition.

Parting ways, is not enough reason for one of the parties to take their life. Anytime that happens, it shows that, the relationship was not founded on love and it’s unstable.

The only time that I can ascribe a partial fault to the lady is, if she actively encourage him to take his life or buy the poison for him or pour it inside his mouth.

That appear not to be the case here, the guy is suicidal and having attempted it before is a baggage to the lady and she made the right decision to dump his azz, that is the only action she is responsible for, which is universally acceptable. Anything the guy did thereafter is on him, and him alone!

The truth is, in life it is not in all cases that; transparency are full disclosure are key.

Sometimes, it is far better not to say somethings. This is a good example of one of such cases.

Akiika:
Now i can see that education has really degraded in this country. Why are you mistaking closing a case with acquittal? It simply means FG finished laying down their case against him. The defense will now have to respond and make their counter case. He is still in the hook.

You must have not read the evidence submitted by the three witnesses that the federal government called.

The FG didn’t have any evidence to convict him. They admitted into the record that, they have not verified his asset declaration form. Which means they don’t have a bases to determine if he lied or not, in essence the FG case is premature at best.

The defense has already responded. The former CJN instead of mounting a defense rightly moved for the case to be dismissed as the FG did not provide anything into evidence that indicate he violated any law.

Redoil:
Give and it shall be given unto you

Don’t forget that, that same Bible says ‘fools and their money will soon part ways’

Try to balance it up...since the OP, is not courageous enough to tell the guy NO, even after the guy have stood him up by not paying his money back, am certain the later bible verse above will caught up with him sooner than your assertions.

faith551:
thank bro. but am thinking something more subtle but direct like. "Ok, now I guess that wasnt for me"

No....

WOW as someone else suggested packs much punches. It will make her to start thinking wild not knowing exactly what you meant or where you are coming from.

Report it the the police, it’s stealing patapata you tip oga police small moni.

dejavubobo1:
He can't fail in class, if u understand chess u ll know it encompasses a lot. Chess is fr genius. U can't be dull & play so well as they say he's done

So true.

Chess teaches one to anticipate the worst case scenario stack up against them and then devise multi layer strategies to react and over come them.

You can’t be good at chess without the ability to anticipate dangers, opportunities, pitfalls and make detail plans to put yourself in the best position to exploit them to your advantage.

Chess players are very savvy and are active thinkers.

RTSC:
BTW, how did a whole family manage to become refugees in far away America?
How did they do it?

Obviously, they had to go through the embassy to get to America since Nigeria does not share land border with the US.
Who gave them visas to become refugees?

.

You don’t need a visa to apply for refugee status.

You can arrive in the US on a visitor’s visa and apply for it.

rawpadgin:
Them fit manufacture am like those fighters jet na

Wet u go just press one button u go just see itself for outside plane

I hope say you look up how much jet dey cost ba...with that kind plane if Air Peace start to charge N900k for Lagos to Abuja instead of about N30k, how many people go fit enter plane again?

And it wouldn’t be profitable to the Air line industry and will lead to their collapse, plus parachutes are useless at those attitudes...fighter jet pilots parachute from their jet close to sea level and not from about 30000 miles above sea level.

rawpadgin:

I was wondering, why are there no parachutes in air planes?

Am sure the pilots knows that the plane will crash like 5/10 minutes time b4 it eventually crashed

If there was parachutes inside the aircraft the pilots would told them to jump & save themselves

Then, even if na lions den u land put, at least u know u still have a lifeline

Because parachutes in airplanes will save a total of zero lives, plus they are heavy about 30-40 pounds, multiple that by 200 for a 737 jet; and they are expensive to maintain and will cost more jet fuel to be hauling additional 8000 pound weight that can’t save anyone.

At the flying altitude of 30k to 40k above sea level, you can’t survive outside the plane because of lack of oxygen, it means each 200 piece of useless parachute have to be fitted to oxygen cylinder that will be expensive to maintain throughout the life span of the plane, plus additional dead weight and increase in jet fuel to be hauling those weights.

Now the plane is flying at an average speed of 500-600MPH, try jumping out from a car doing a mere 80MPH on surface land and see what happens talkless of something doing 600MPH at 30000 miles above ground.

If your car get into an accident your chances of survival are increased if you remain inside the car, hence seat belts were invented. The same theory is more evident for a plane at 3000 miles above sea levels and at speeds up to 600MPH.

BTW: can you imagine all 200 passengers trying to jump out of the plane mid air with their parachute at the same time? Do you know the panic that will ensure? How are they going to get out Sef? Once you pop open the plane doors, the pressurized cabin is compromised be depleted of the oxygen and the additional thrust of wind coming into the plane will disoriente everyone, plus the lack of oxygen, you wouldn’t last a full 60 seconds.

Bottom line is, air travel is the safest and if no bi your time nothing go happen...but if na your time, common bicycle accident can turn fatal.

All that may be needed to solve this Max 8 node dive issue might just be a software upgrade from Boeing.

Welcome to the real world....na today, you no say na another person mess dey smell pass?

Please, adjust well and expect more of these kind of treatments; you either grow a thick skin or get out of the kitchen.

prince3009:
I believe the issue of this 737 Max 8 is partly a factory error, maintenance and pilot technique!

Since some American airlines have refused to remove them from their fleet and are confidence of their "safety and airworthiness", then I guess the previous crashes involving Indonesia, China and now Ethiopia were due to carelessness on the part of the airline servicing crew! QED!!

Not totally true.

The plane’s MCAS system that is met to correct a sudden nose upward lift by pointing it down appear to be doing an over correction.

But this boils down to Pilot experience; many of the Pilots that have encountered the same problem immediately remove it from autopilot to correct the nose dive issue.

Pilots use autopilots mainly during take off and landing, especially with adverse conditions; over reliance on autopilot might be the main issue here, which goes to the Pilot’s experience, knowledge of the new max 8 plane and confidence level.

Onyekachi419:
What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul

Point of correction: this dude did not gain the ‘whole world’, he just got a dirty used corolla.

BTW: I am yet to see anyone that have gained the whole world, even Warran Buffett with all his wealth does not come close.

martineverest:
abiodun used UN passport

UN Passport does not connotate citizenship of any country, and as you know UN is not a country.

Any individual employeed by any of the UN organization can obtain a UN Passport, which they can use while going on UN mission.

Abiodun is a Nigerian citizen flying on UN Passport.

Even the Canadian Professor is a Nigerian as well, since Canada and Nigeria allow dual citizenship...He didn’t give his Nigerian citizenship when he became a Canadian.

Sagay212:
But really what's the essence of all the long stories they tell before the plane takes off. What's the essence of the parachutes and all if the phucking pilot will not be honest enough to let people know they are gonna crash and let them find a way out. I have never heard of anybody escaping plane crash with parachutes or whatever. They all end up dying. So annoying.

There are no parachutes in commercials airplanes.

The pre flight safety instructions are to give one the highest chance of survival if the crash is not catastrophic.

In most non catastrophic crashes, the Pilot senses the danger but is able to avert immediate danger by bringing the plane as close to land or water as possible.

But, when there is total equipment failure, there is virtually nothing anyone can do.

One would think those, who are telling others to ‘stop gloating’, will pause a little; take their own advise and ‘stop dreaming’.

But, this is 9ja and like every where else, dreaming is allowed.

thesicilian:
The police will hardly have any serious interest in going after the killer since the victim is not one of theirs

Not true, don’t speak of what you know nothing about.

Jayslicky:
What did I just read? Court granting custody of a child to a mad woman, well this is Nigeria where the insane and illetrates make vital decisions.

That is to tell you that, the other parent might be ‘madder’.

Since the court usually does a balancing act of who is the fitter parent among the two during constested custody cases.

If it is just a tissue of lies, where is the whole toilet roll then?

Something doesn’t smell right with this story, we will need the whole toilet roll to clean it up.

ChaleeBendel:
I see the presidential election being overturned.

That is not how the court weigh evidence.

What they might be looking at is, assuming the evidence is true as presented in the video surveillance; will the result of that polling unit of LGA be enough to produce a different outcome in the election? If the answer is NO, then Atiku will come empty handed.

The highest that could happen is for the court to invalidated the election results of some polling units or areas where the opposition have been able to prove fraud, even after that Atiku will still fall short.

If the margins between both candidates was very thin, then moves like these have a high chance of paying but for a 3-4million vote deficit, it will be a difficult task.

Remember that, the court will also assume that the votes casts in places, where fraud was not successfully proven are legitimate and valid and they have to take into consideration the fact that, overturning the whole election will invalidate those vote, plus the number of votes in questions are not enough to produce a different outcome.

gideon1971:
Please what is the criteria for determining the winner in Nigeria election, is it by the number of votes won or the number of States won, for instance. Let's assume that buhari win 15 states with the highest no of voters I.e lagos, kano, Kaduna etc, with 15 million votes and Atiku win d remaining 22 states but the total no of votes from the the 34 state is 13million, who will be declared winner,

Quote me with answers please

The candidate that gets the highest votes wins the Presidential election, as long as he or she wins with 25% margin from 24 (2/3rd) of the 36 states.

Amberon11:
Bla bpa bla bla bla

You lunatics never fail to bash religion even when the situation doesn't call for it.
America which is a country that constitutes the largest Christian population is the most prosperous and most powerful country on earth. Choke on that.

It is obvious you have not stepped a foot on America soil.

America’s brand of Christianity is not the type practiced in Nigeria or any where in Africa.

If you have lived in America for a single day, all your preconceived notion of them been the pinnacle of godliness and Christianity will be shocked to it root.

The truth is, if the America brand of Christianity is allowed to be practiced in Nigeria, Nigeria will be a prosperous and mighty Nation in Africa and the world as well.

But, hypocrites like you will condemn the introduction of such type of Christianity in Nigeria, while ignorantly applauding it’s existence in America and elsewhere and even ascribe the prosperity of that country to that brand of Christianity that you have cursed and condemned in Nigeria.

The America Christianity that gives them their prosperity and power index status as you said; give rights to gays, lesbians & transgenders, the very practice that is condemned in the Bible and in Nigeria Christianity and will fetch a serious jail time in Nigeria.

Their Christianity tolerates a serial divorcee, who cheats and commits adultery, he even ‘grab them by their puccy’. Their Christianity tolerates this kind of professing Christian and even supports and voted him in as their President.

America is okay with abortion, it is legal; but the Bible condemns it. The general view is, it is okay and their laws back that view.

The America Christianity, no matter how religious they are does not codify as against their laws any immoral or behavioral act as illegal. It is okay among the Christianity circle there to get a divorce without cause. Adultery and cheating is not a big deal as seem with Nigerian Christianity and the Bible. In some states, it is perfectly legal to smoke marijuana, infact the Doctor will give you a prescription for it and you can walk into the and buy it. The Pastor might even puffy some of his medical marijuana to reduce his chronic pains before mounting the pulpit to deliver his America Christianity Sunday sermon.

I can go on and on with examples, attitudes, dispositions and priorities that clearly shows that, the brand of Christianity practiced in America today is no where found in the Bible and condemned by Jesus himself and will be termed an abomination in Nigeria.

Now, when I say ‘America or America Christianity’ am taking a generalized view based on their laws, government and system of governance.

Off course, there are exceptions to any generalized rule, which in this case mean that, there are many pockets of genuine Christians in America who practice it as in the Bible, but these pockets and their view are not a representation of the whole country.

Now, if you say God’s blessings on America is because of these pockets of genuine worshippers despite the fact that, their view does not drive America governance; my response is...but Nigeria also have pockets of genuine Christians, why are we not enjoying these blessings as well?

BlueRayDick:
The boxes are not changing, so why announcing it like it's a new colour entirely?

I remember 2015 elections working as a PO somewhere in the north struggling to communicate with electorates who had been on queue even before 7am when we got to the polling unit. I remember telling them with the little Hausa I could speak: "For the ref box, is for shugan kasa, black senator and green reps."

Not everyone that is voting in 2019 voted in 2015.

Many just reached the voting age and this will be their first time. Some were not even interested in politics then, etc.

Public enlightenment is a continual process.

freemanbubble:
I don't know about other states

But one thing am sure about my state is the fact that PDP will win my state. Edo state to be precise.

I can bet my balls on that

Our next president is alhaji atiku aguero abubakar

Can we see the shape and size of the balls you are betting on this?

Just saying....because some balls are not worth the bet.

If what the Appeal court did was to set aside the judgement of the High court which affirms INEC’s decision to ban APC from contesting, how does this Appeal court ruling clears APC to contest?

Her Boss laptop have a problem and instead of going to the computer village to see a repair person, they sent her to stand by the street side and start smiling to all and any passerby and if they are lucky, they might see a technician on the cheap?

And this lady who was standing aimlessly on the road side, looking for whomever is all of a sudden impatient and have some waiting on the side fix the laptop?

Bros, don’t waste your time, since she say she can call someone else, ask her to quickly do so.
