okeymatthew30: While i strongly believe in this chelsea team, they have holes they need to fill if they have to compete both at home and abroad, they need to get another striker to back up Torres, they also need an additional defensive midfielder, because once mikel has an issue, that team would be in great trouble.The beauty of having a great team is having a bench, like Barcelona, or even Juve, however, they still have a good team, but tonights match will be a tight one.

@ Okey, I agree with you that we have a lot of holes to fill. However, I dont think buying another striker is the solution here. If you take the match against Athletico as a case study, you will see that there wasn't really any service for Torres. Even if we swapped strikers with Athletico and Falcao was playing as our front man, I seriously doubt that Falcao will score a single goal. And I really don't understand the rationale behind allowing Essien go on loan. What he simply needed was some game time to return to what he was before. However, Ramires can also aid Mikel in that role, which is why I complained in my earlier post about deploying Ramires to the right wing when he isn't a winger but a box-to-box midfielder. Make I siddon look how the match go be today. Na God eye I dey look.

As a blues fan, I have to be honest in admitting that I watch our recent matches with trepidation. RDM's tactics aren't really working and we are not playing convincingly. I see no reason why Ramires and Bertrand should be deployed as wingers when it is obvious that they offer little in the way of creativity, which in turn affects the game play of Hazard. I hope RDM displays a little more adventure in terms of attack and play Victor Moses/Oscar as a right winger and Marko Marin on the left, with Ramires deployed beside Mikel. With the kind of tactics currently on display, it won't be long before RDM finds himself in the labour market as Abramovich didn't spend all that money to play the kind of game RDM is giving us now. Anyway, here's hoping that we win today's match (convincingly, of course). Up Blues!

@ Op, please no waste time. Head over to the auto section here: https://www.nairaland.com/autos. Do your research wella. You will see some nice, clean vehicles that fit your budget perfectly. Don't make any advance payments ooooo or else you will be on your own! See links like this: https://www.nairaland.com/1023968/reduced-bmw-318-n250000-mazda will help you get a very good car that you will pay far less than the N700k for.

Digriz: well said,i hv seen people wt lesser salary driving and maintaining there cars. Who d hell are those people saying that he's salary is too small to get a car? I cld remember wat one of our past leader said abt owning a mobile phone that its meant for the rich bt nw wat is happening,even some primary skool pupil own a phone. Wat am trying to point out is that d op wnts a car for a necessity n nt for luzury and there are cars he fits in,pls allow d guy to get a car bt i wont support a loan as Danilsa said

Well said, @ Digriz.

jackbauersballs: This OP wants to buy a car on 80k a month salary..

Thats not even up to a MILLION a year BEFORE tax.


Do you pay rent?

Dont you want to INVEST in yourself so you can get a better JOB?

Talk about misplaced priorities...

It is advice like these that make my blood boil. Does he have to earn a million naira before/after tax before getting a ride?! Haba! I am married, investing in myself and my hubby to better ourselves and still own a small ride as earlier posted. I stand tall to say "Op, go ahead" Get yourself a ride and leave haters wey you no get any idea.

If you know say the guy low income + the loan dey provoke you, challenge the op to post a mobile number here. Send an sms to that number with the words "CAR FUND Raising" so the op will send you his bank details. Then contribute money for him so he can buy a new ride and return the loan. MMMmttttcccheeeeewwwww!

Op, carry dey go. I wish you good luck (without jonathan, of course!) . Cheers.

[quote author=hakym_biyi@yaho]Please let me also advice you on the vehcle to take, VOLKSWAGEN VANAGON is good for you to earn you more after repayment of your loans and there would be more reserve for you if you can fetch more ppl along with you to your area of work and even back home.[/quote]@ Op, we are both in almost the same situation, only that I made do with a car loan from my office for the sum of N750k and bought a small, clean Golf 3 manual tranny for N320k on this very Nairaland.

Billyonaire: https://inmotionusa.com/website/images/golf3.jpg

I googled Golf 3 and this is what I saw. This car above is not recommended for anyone except mechanics. I can only recommend it if you are going for a brand new. OP, there is no time I see this car on the road with AC working. The drivers are always sweating and having red eyes. Most times, people are always pushing it. Except you live outside lagos, do not buy it cos Okada people will so terrorize you....Wait for your time. Invest the little you have. Many people buy cars to augment their social status, if thats your primary motive, then how augmented will your status be with this thing ? my2cents!

Kindly disregard the advice from Billyonaire. My AC dey work like mad. Maybe the people he saw actually sweating and with blood shot eyes are the mechanics who have been instructed to work on the AC! Lol

Anyway, I totally agree with the advice of the guy who said you should buy a van or something so you can ferry people to and from work as this will fetch u some small change that u can use to buy fuel or something. See this link: https://www.nairaland.com/981041/super-clean-registered-caravan-500k for one such vehicle. I don't know the owner neither have I met him before, but this is just an example of the kind of vehicle that will benefit you. What's more, the price is good and you will still have some money to spare.

The decision is yours though. Stay blessed!

Authentic mumu na im u be. So you use your money buy all these apps from Cydia? Pls, if your money too much for you, how about throwing some my way? I have nearly all those apps for free. The only one I don't have is Voiceutils, and that's because I don't have Siri. iTransmission, DashboardX and Backboard apps, I don't need.

Reading through some of the comments on here make me want to throw up. Like seriously, have u guys ever heard of the word STRATEGY? Chelsea did what had to be done against Barca to progress and employed the strategy they thought fit to enable them do so. PERIOD! Whether na to park molue bus ooo, or double decker bus or whatever bus + 10 storey building, they did what had to be done. We are not totally honest with ourselves here cos we are envious that chelsea made it to the finals. The people that are complaining, where are their teams today? Manyoo wants us to play the open football they played Barca in two finals, right? Tell me what was the scoreline in those matches? Arsenal want us to play like they did against Barca shey? Wetin happen each time? Let's be honest, if there is one team that defended and defended absolutely, it was Mourinho's Inter. People will only say what they can because they know that deep down, their teams are not capable of switching from plan A to Z like Chelsea does. Manyoo tried to employ our tactic against City and look what happened? They became the disgrace of the premiership last term because they played a whole 90mins without a single shot on target! Abeg, haters, make una go sleep. Chelsea all the way! Yes, we may have some bad moments, and play badly sometimes, but we are good, infact, the best English team in Europe today. Anybody wey no like am can go and jump inside lake. As for me and my house, come Saturday, this cow will not live to see Sunday :

tobeski: @lucki1001 after paying over 100k for a phone, having to jailbreak, lose your warranty, put your phone at risk etc just to get a basic feature that even s40 phones have is ridiculous.. You never had to jailbreak/root a symbian device to get all these functions.. The only reason for hackin a symbian device was to install unsigned apps. Nothin else. You keep comparin jailbreaking the iphone to rootin an android. Yet a ''jailbreaked'' iphone will only just manage to do things an android will do right out of the box. A jailbroken iphone will not even come near the power, functionality and flexibility of a rooted android. Furthermore, unlike ios manufacturers have started encouraging hacking androids with unlocked bootloaders and the likes....

Having to go and open a separate app just to beam a file over BT is ridiculous.Also having to install countless apps to get basic functionality from your phone only stresses the deficiency of the iOS platform

I repeat the iphone does not truly multitask properly. What it gives you is similar to the multitasking on some sony ericsson feature phones back then eg k608i nd sum fnes in the walkman series in my previous post above I hilighted some apps that need proper multitasking which is not possible with the iphone.. If you don't have an iphone to see this 4 urself, go read reviews. Its clearly mentioned as one of the cons of iOS...

Even on the old n97, without pc suite you could at least, transfer files btw phone and pc, use the phone as flash drive with mass storage mode share your fones 3g connection wit d pc, there was even media transfer mode to help you sync all your windows media player tracks and playlist with just one click etc
Yes , all that without pc suite. That's what you call connectivity.. Now reply to that.

Nowadays smartphones are expected to be able to replace PCs to some extent.. The plain truth is that the iphone fails woefully in that respect. That's why I said if you're looking for a device with an attractive ui, media capabilities, the chance to play with endless apps, and a nice fashion accessory, you're better off with an iphone. But if you want a real smartphone that does not hold back on innovation and functionality, and makes ur pc a superfluous item, the iphone is not likely to cut it for you

@ Oga Tobeski, this one no be fight issue. Like I said, it is each man to himself. It is what you want in a fone that determines which fone to go for. What I know is that all the millions of users worldwide cannot be wrong. Yes, the android phones comes, by default, with some of the functionality for which we jailbreak our phones for, but like I said, if you are prepared to do that cause you want to enjoy ur iphone, then go ahead.

Now, let me see how to break down ur analysis:

Installation of unsigned apps: What is the direct reason for hacking your Nokia device? Is it not to gain admin access to your phone to enable you install apps that will add more functionality to your fone? That is the essence of jailbreak. And for your info, jailbreak is legal. Yes, the OS manufacturer may not like it, but it doesn't stop you from going ahead. it is at your own risk. This applies everywhere, and why Apple is singled out for criticism is plainly obvious: You non-users are simply jealous of the respect it deserves.

Please, exactly what is the "innovation and functionality" that the iphone is not capable of? Like I pointed out in my post, I wasn't here to brag about the iphone. I just tried to correct the errors in some people's post. But like I said, I want to know exactly what Android phones are capable of, this special functionality and innovation, that the iphone does not do? Abeg tell me.

On the old N97, you are still restricted in terms of file sharing between pcs, unlike what you will have me believe. Yes, you can share files, but to what extent exactly? What's this about internet sharing? Please do your research properly. The iphone is capable of it, straight out of the box, without any jailbreak. See insult ooo,, how can you ever begin to compare the Nokia N97 with iphone 4S? No let people hear am ooo!

My fellow phone-pple, you see, I gave up on this phone-comparison issue a long time ago. No matter how we are going to cook up videos or diagrams or whatever to make our phone look better than the others, we need to realize that both Android and IOS are here to stay, for life. Get used to it. This war will continue to rage on and on till rapture takes place (and even after it sef ).

Anyway, I am not an Android user (although I plan to acquire the Samsung Galaxy Note as soon as possible), but as a current iphone user, I think some of the points raised on here are downright childish and untrue. No matter how one wants to look at it, each OS has its drawback, and it is left for the fellow who wants to buy to carry out some research before buying a phone. Let me start from the key points raised from the beginning:
Bluetooth File Transfer:
[/b]I agree that the iphone does not come with bluetooth file transfer by default and some other things, but a jailbreak solves the entire issue. Android users cannot claim to be righteous here cause we know that to enjoy the full functionality of a phone, you need to hack it to gain super admin access (rooting,, as Android call it). Like it is rightly said in the Apple world, "there's an app for that" Right now, I can send files to other phones through bluetooth (I have only used it once though, just to send a pic of my wife to her Nokia phone) and that's it. These days, bluetooth file transfer usage is very rare. But I just like to have it just in case.
[b]Memory Card
I fail to see how and why I need a memory card after having an iphone that has 32gb inbuilt memory. I quite understand the need to expand the memory in the event that you need to make use of it, but come on, what can you actually use to fill up a 32GB memory? Last time I checked, it should be videos, music and some huge apps. But we need to draw the line here. Is it that you are actually filling up the memory with things that you know you need or just filling up for filling up sake (Make dem say I get plenty things on my phone). I really don't understand why someone should load their phones with over 500 music when u can never listen to them all, over 10 DVD seasonal films! Come on!
Multitasking:
In the life of me, I have never heard or seen that you can only multi-task for some apps and can't multi-task for others. I don't know exactly when Iphone started multi-tasking, since I am just a newbie to the Apple world, but I can multi-task away on my fone for virtually all apps I have on it.
No Connectivity except with Itunes:
Please, let's get real. Back in the days when I was using my Nokia N97, there wasn't truely much I could do outside of the Nokia Software and the in-built File Manager, which didn't have much functionality, compared to X-Plore. And you need to hack your phone in order to enjoy X-Plore to the fullest. Same applies to the iphone and even Android users. You need to hack the phone (Android - Root and Iphone - Jailbreak) to gain admin access to all parts of the phone. True the iphone cannot work outside of itunes but like I said before, a Jailbreak solved everything. Now, with IphoneExplorer (and some other third party SSH clients), I can work on my iphone from my computer without itunes. With iFile (which supports .zip fully), I have the same access on my iphone.
Themes? HDMI?

Don't know where you came from, but if this is your attempt to bring down the iphone, then you have failed woefully. The Iphone is fully packed with this functionality, a quick google search will show you.
Java Support

Well, like one user said in an earlier post, Java programs are outdated now, and I tend to believe it. Android and IOS HAVE better-developed apps in their repertoire than what Java can offer, so I fail to see how this will be quantified as a weakness on Iphone's part. And oh, by the way, the challenge has been answered yet. Please name one or two Java apps that outdo what App Store currently offers
FM Radio
Now this is truly the part I missed about my Nokia phone. I love listening to the radio, and this is an in-built functionality I have to confess I still don't know why Apple is leaving it out, but there's always Internet radio, which even enables you to listen to both foreign and local radio stations, but I would have loved this function built-in.
DivX:
While I admit the iphone does not have inbuilt DivX support, there are apps which support it, so it is not really a feature that is missing. Who amongst you will say you have not downloaded an app to fulfil a certain feature your phone does not currently support? NONE!
I can save webpages and make 3G video calls on my iphone(Can't actually believe someone said the iphone is not capable of it).
But my submission is this, each man to himself. Pick out exactly what you need (or want) in a phone, find the phone that can do it and go for it. Shikena! All this quarel about phones pisses me off. At the end of the day, it all comes down to vanity. My car big pass your car and so what? The two cars will get us to our destination. My generator big pass your own and so what? When NEPA take light, if you put on your gen and I put on my own, no be the same light we go get? Haba!
Anyway, this fight is because of this oooo!

Oga Tumababa, abeg ur boyz need ur help. I am looking to buy this case for my 3GS and don't know where to get it. I know say I fit turn to you since na you be our iFather. Thanks.

Sorry for opening an unnecessary thread, but we have surfed the whole of Nairaland, but couldn't get anyone who had posted what we needed so it became expedient to do this post. If it offended anyone, pls accept my apologies. Thank you as we look forward to your posts.

Dear all,

Top of the day to you. Please I am looking to buy 2(two) cases for my iphone 3GS, which must look like the picture below. I will prefer a black throughout color. Parties who have it should state their price. Pics of the ones they have right now will also be appreciated. Oh, and while we are at it, some of my colleagues in the office want to buy ORIGINAL FOLLOW-COME earpiece(s) and charger(s) for their iphones too, so prices will be highly appreciated.

Thank you and do have a great day!
