Hey guys. The Mi Browser in my Redmi Note 10 Pro has been converted to Content Center. This happened after I received an update from Google Playstore. Even if I uninstall and reinstall it at again, a few minutes in using the Mi browser, it kicks me out and convert it to Content Center. And the Content Centre only shows Youtube video feeds, no browser at all. I hope someone can help me out. Device is Redmi Note 10 pro MIUI14.0.8, Android 13. |

Trex4: If you're only worried about Google authenticator, then you can use an OTG cable to connect an external mouse to your device. This should work and allow you clear up the things you want to since the phone is still alive. |

State police is the way forward. Probably this is the beginning of decentralisation in Nigeria. We use to be very good farmers in the north. With this, probably, we are going to start something for ourselves. |
| Education / Re: We will shut down Universities nationwide in 7 days - SSANU, NASU by Luu40: 6:43pm On Mar 04 |
University education in Nigeria is just too cheap. There are still universities especially in the north where school registration is not up to ₦100,000. JAMB cut off mark is also too low to, so virtually everyone who sits for JAMB scores 140, and will be in the university. Two things: low tuition fees and high student enrolment. These two things can cripple any institution, and the quality of education they offer is very very poor. It's time Nigerians pay well for the services they want. Government cannot be shouldering the responsibility for every everything in this country. My opinion. |

| Politics / Re: Smuggling: Customs Seizes 15 Trucks Loaded With Food Items In Sokoto by Luu40: 10:13am On Feb 19 |
Two days ago, I had a conversation with a businessman in my area. He deals in many things; building materials, cement, and other smaller things. A day before we had the conversation, one of his boys told me he took delivery of a cement-filled trailer from BUA Cement, Sokoto. The boy told me the cement-laden trailer was not offloaded because his boss planned to send it to Niger Republic via the Argungu-Bachaka road. The boss had even sent one of his boys to "gyara hanya" meaning 'to settle all security agencies on the route so that his trailer will just pass and go when it sets out for the journey' . And so it did - the security agencies on all the checkpoints we paid and the trailer made it there. The goods we sold to buyers in Niger Republic. Back to my conversation with the boss. He told me whenever his goods make it into Niger Republic, he's paid in Franc CFA currency. After his drivers return hone with the CFA, he will send the money via other drivers to Abuja and have it exchanged for US dollars. He didn't tell me what he does with the dollars afterwards. End of conversation with Alhaji. Secondly, after the initial removal of subsidy, prices of almost all commodities went up, but stablised. Fast forward, it was in January, 2024 that things went from bad to initial worse around here. People realised that they could export even our most basic items in huge numbers (causing scarcity and rise in demand here, making the items more costly) to Niger Republic as we are not up to 100km away from the border. They are currently making alot of money as their number is always growing. The evening of the day I had the conversation with Alhaji, an associate of the local chief - Emir of Argungu told us that the emirate council has made moves mo prevent people from uncontrollably exporting our food items to Niger Republic having liased with the security agencies. As this practice have almost made rice and building materials unaffordable to most people. This move by the Emir caused the price of some things to start reducing little by little, and we later learnt that new security agents have been brought in from Abuja and the have prevented all trailers and small vehicles from exporting anything. But the locals around here, though happy with the move, don't trust the security agencies as they believe they will allow them to move midnight. In my opinion, I think we are making life more difficult for ourselves, though the shape of the economy is also bad. Security agencies are also accomplices in creating these problems. Any truck or trailer that brought food or other essentials to our towns must have paid alot of money to those people manning checkpoints on the roads. And some rich and powerful businessmen have hoarded many goods in their stores, not selling, but waiting for the price to rise as high as possible, kicking many small business owners out of stock of many essentials. |

I laught at people of the south who complain of heat. Last year we recorded 44 degrees Celsius. And, scary enough, since 2016, every year after it breaks a record of being the hottest. Last year we recorded low rainfall, our water table is deeper now in harmattan, and it gets much deeper during the dry season. |

burp18: In Argungu, Kebbi State - my town. There hasn't been sugar in the market for almost three days now. There are rumours that a businessman not so far from our street has hoarded more than two trailers of it since last year or two. He bought it at say less than ₦30,000. Now its about ₦77,000 and yet its still in his store while people can't even see it to buy. 4 Likes |

| Religion / Re: Why Are Nigerians So Religious But Corrupt? by Luu40: 3:59pm On Jan 11 |
The same thing applies to everything else we do. We are religious, but lack morals. We have degrees, but no knowledge and thinking. We like to take up political positions, yet we have no knowledge and skills to get things done. We have 9 passes in WAEC, yet we don't know anything about the habitat of mosquitoes. Nigeria is a group of sugar-coated human beings, two-faced, and double-edged. We are just luke the food you cook for your high value guests - spend alot on it to entice and impress them, yet we are very hungry. |

Its a pity how people still stand by the man. The fact that he couldn't even save the many people under the rubble of the collapsed building tells you that he is not what you see on TV. I'm very sure these people won't come and lie against him in troves. He probably committed suicide to save himself the media publicity and loss of reputation that will follow after his disciples started talking to the BBC.

I believe it is done for the sole reason of making students use their initiatives in solving problems. People who are able to solve complex exercises are mostly better problem solvers in real life. Creativity and innovation are the things Nigerians lack to develop. To get them, one has to be very hardworking, and ready to go the extra-mile. The little online Microsoft Excel classes and tutorials I've attended and viewed have me a much better person at work, because I'm the one who can do the undoable things most people can't. Your ability to positively transfer knowledge from one area to another is a skill to bank on. Lack of these essential elements is what makes our universities dormant, and our students unprogressive. An average Nigerian can pass an English language exam on paper with an average score. But our spoken English is devoid of grammar, and every other things that makes a language speaker correct. 2 Likes |

marienl: Very correct. Education in Nigeria is relatively very cheap. That's probably the reason why most students never get enough knowledge, and can go out of their way to get certificates that have no weight. I have earned more with the Microsoft Excel skill I learned online than my four year bachelor's degree. And please if you're teaching anything that can fetch me an income (part time, and online) , I'll be willing to join if you can take me. Thanks |

| Romance / Re: Why I May Not Marry A Nigerian Man (opinion) by Luu40: 10:25am On Nov 11, 2023 |
I know many marriages that are even better than what you describe as the ideal relationship. Providing for your family and relieving yourself of sexual urges, have always been the men's role in a relationship; in the same way a woman needs to be soft, and tender, and caring for her husband, and ensure proper upbringing of her children has always been their role. It is feminism that is breaking marriages apart today, not submission to the will of husbands. Many women of today think of themselves as men - they don't want to bw told what to do, or how to do it. No matter how powerful a woman becomes, her husband will always be her boss - take it and live your life in peace. Many elderly women of today never had even an inch of what women of today have. But ask yourself genuinely: are you a better woman than your mom? They took bringing you up as a full time, lifelong job, and they succeeded in most cases. The economy was better during their time, there is peace and trust during their time, even the cultural identity was better during their time. And many of you have been reduced to think that the clothes, food, drink, customs, even names of your parents were primitive and barbaric. Yet, you lots can't even keep a husband happy. A woman who cooks well and meet her husband's natural cravings, a accepts her husband's superiority is a good wife. The rest of you are sharing your husbands with many side chicks. 4 Likes |
| Business / Re: NIMC Clears Over 2.5m Backlog Of NIN Modification – DG by Luu40: 3:43pm On Nov 10, 2023 |
I don't know whether crimes have now been fully normalized in Nigeria. Yesterday, a friend of mine told me that he will do a new NIN so that he stand a chance of getting a government job given that he's already 30 now. How are you gonna do it, ? "I asked". He replied, "I will just flip my names and use my foots for the biometric capture and that's all". This is what many people have done now. I later asked whether he is not afraid of repercussions, and he told me that nowhere in Nigeria is a person's fingerprint scanned to reveal his identity. They even now manipulate the soft copy of their NIN to to fool NYSC officials in camp. It's a pity, how reduced many people have become. 1 Like |
