Which is the best Redmi phone to buy in Nigeria right now? Need a reply urgently. A friend wants to get a new phone and i suggested he gets a Redmi device.

Buy the Mi9T

godric:
I bought my first car, Mazda 323 Nigerian used. I wanted to buy golf3 but the owner changed his mind and the mechanic told me that there's a Mazda that's ok and persuaded me to buy it. After a week, the car wahala poped up, ranging from high fuel consumption to suspension, fuel pump issue. Changed the fuel pump several times, rewire work every now and then. I changed my mechanic and rewire to the one introduced to me by my younger brother but still the same.
There was a day after leaving a rewire workshop with my brother, the car just stopped. We called the rewire, he fixed it and gave us assurance that it was ok. I just gave the key to my brother to drive it straight to his house to use it for few days because I don't trust anything about the car. I mounted a bike, off to my house.
My brother cruised it around for 2 days when the wahala start again. I told my brother to put it up for sale but he said NO, that he will make sure the car is fixed to perfection.
He eventually got tired too and put it up for sale. No buyer for more than 3 months. I called a rewire to do some magic and boom! It was on road. I drove it to a funiture workshop to check some funitures. Through our discussions, the man got to know that I want to sell the car, he was interested but no cash. We striked a deal of 2 sets of seven-seater sofa with stools. He jumped at the offer, I didn't waste time, I looked for a truck immediately and packed the sofas but the stools are yet to ready but he promised to bring it to my house the following week. I jejely dropped the car and the key for him immediately ('agbana' must not follow me home again).
A week later, on my way to work, I saw the car at a mechanic workshop, I waka paas. The car was there for more than 3 months. I learnt he later sold it as scrap.
As for the stools he promised to bring the following week, he never bring am and I no fit ask.

This is exactly why i can never buy naija used car on nairaland

the biggest mistake for a Nigerian girl is to marry a guy who is not ready to marry. a Bleep boy. a jobless Bleep boy who believes his big gbola is his selling point

You see that you have no future. So u want to marry a guy that will fend for you.If u are a lady, i pray never to cross ur path.

MedicH:



because the "unlucky buyer" will not inspect before buying? all these stupid boys like you need serious gang-beating to be honest. I wish this forceman can locate you and teach u properly with iron fists how to mind your business. A matrix is 1.8l engine while this car is 3.0. Isn't that enough reasons?

I pity you.
OP that registered his NL account May 21. Its okay.

benzinoman:

Not really, I am an officer serving in the NE. I use a Military Hilux there, my wife is under using the car. I have nothing to hide any serious buyer can come for inspection.

Under using the car but u want to get matrix. I hear u sir.

benzinoman:

Bunet holder only, the car is barely used, my wife drives it in the barracks to drop kids @ School. She wants a Matrix thats why am selling

Indeed... So u she prefers matrix to this. I hear you.
So sure this car has terrible issues and u dey find an unlucky buyer to carry the wahala for head

boss, my guy has 100k which xiaomi can he get for that amount at this moment

Let him add like 20K -30K extra and get Xiaomi Mi9T.

ponching:



Not yet
I have not gotten a dime.

With this new scam he has done, i think you should link up with the victim and you both get the guy arrested. Things would move swiftly if multiple cases of fraud are brought against him. It means he is a serial fraudster

Modified: just read the other victim has been paid back in full.
I think u handled yours to softly and thats why you didnt get any money back

JAccksnow:
Pls house. I just got this Mi band 4 from jumia but I can't connect it with my Redmi 7 because I can't seem to install the MiFit app on my device.

How can I go about this please?

You should be able to install the app. I use a Mi Band with my Redmi 7 without issues

PhenomenalAustin:
I'm sorry for bothering you all but please hear me out.

I'm posting this on behalf of my uncle.

I was working in a company, and was being paid 40,000 a month not including other allowances. A new company called me to work with them as an Officiator and we negotiated a salary of 60,000.

Both companies produce the same products.

They agreed to pay and I resigned from the other company. I started my new job in Oct. last year and was paid all through Oct., Nov. and Dec.

Earlier this year, January precisely, I had a little issue with my boss. The misunderstanding was that I complained to him that the chemicals we use during productions was adversely affecting me. In the previous company where I worked, I didn't work during the production of the products as I was allergic to the chemicals used.

On a working day, during the time for production, he asked me to join in the production but I politely reminded him about my allergies to the chemicals being used. He commanded me while shouting that I should go back and work. I normally have heart burns, dizziness and severe migraines when I'm exposed to these chemicals.
I left during production as the chemical adversely affected me.

The next day, he came and asked if I had finished the work he commanded me to do the previous day. I apologised to him that I didn't because of the chemicals rxns which he knew about. He didn't say anything but from his body language, I thought everything was alright.

I returned the following day, only to receive a 2-week suspension notice. I was surprised and asked about my offense which the General manager told me, the boss was really pissed and so mad at me which I also explained to the GM and he was really surprised as I did no wrong. Nonetheless, he advised I serve my suspension sentence.

After suspension, I was given a review of my salary and my salary was slashed by 20,000 to 40,000 because of the issue...

I was really confused and bewildered because out of the revised 40,000 I receive per month, the company takes 15,000 out of it for my rent loan...

I've been apologising while also pleading with my boss to reconsider his decision as I'm a family man and 25,000 realistically, will not be sufficient for I and my family. He hasn't yet changed his stance.

I'm so confused, please I need your opinions, suggestions and help whatsoever..

I'm sorry for bothering you.. Thanks

Please help me out please... My uncle is really down at the moment...


Thanks!

Seems u dont value ur life. If u die at that company, u will be replaced within a week. Better make the right choice and stay alive for ur family

My 50 Yrs Old Boss Shows A Lot Of Cleavage When We Meet, What Could She Want?

So I got this job around 2019 and I noticed from the very day I went for my interview, there was this woman who happened to be very lenient with me and cautioned others when they asked me tough question. All she did saved me from disgracing myself in front of 5 panelist. After the interview I waited till they closed just so i could say thank you.

When she came out around 7 pm she was more elegant and had this carriage that suits her age. I approached her and she recognized me immediately she was happy to see me and I thanked her. As I was about to leave she offered me a ride and being a very good conversationist that I am, I began to talk and she became very free with me. She told me a lot about her husband and his drinking addiction and how he neglected her sexual needs. I tried comforting her with words and ended by saying she is 50 na her libido should be dead by now, she didn't take offence but replied and said I cant handle her if we ever get down.

Fast forward to when I resumed, I realized she was the CFO of the organisation, now fear don catch me. I couldn't even look her in the eye to start a conversation. I think she noticed and she called me to her office and was laughing at me and later told me she would like us to keep talking the way we did yesterday cause she doesn't have much friends.

There was this day she was dancing to an old Fuji song in the office, her office is sound proof moreover it was already past office hours, i went to say goodbye, she called me to come in and didn't let me leave. I thought to myself another free ride.

She jumped up at a point and had a nip slip, i mean both breast were literally out. I just closed my eyes, she fixed it and was smiling at me.
Since that time till now she has been showing massive cleavage anytime i'm around her. She has started calling me my dear and other staff are calling me omo mummy and they dont know what I am facing

Chai... I wish i am in your shoes. Free rides, mind blowing sex, financial gratification.... @OP plz link me with her if you are too chicken to make a move

ponching Your scammer scammed another person. How did your own end, did u get ur money back?

healthserve come and see something oh.

aneetah:
@Ponching
Hello
Please did you still get the scammer to pay you back?
My brother just got scammed two weeks ago by the same person and he has been giving stories about the car he was supposed to sell to my brother.

OMG.. That guy is a serial scammer.

BusterG:


It depends what you want to buy.

I will suggest you do an online check first to streamline your choices before going to check physically.

Also ensure you go with a trusted mechanic to check all the checkables (VIN, Custom Papers, Scan, Undercarriage rust etc) before payment.

Thats the problem. How will those mechanics know genuine custom papers. I am also a novice in that respect

promotervickky:


It is your right as a buyer to request for it, if they disagree, look somewhere else.

Thanks, this is helpful

BusterG:


Most dealers will allow it but if some start to show concern, just move to the next one.

I sell cars too and I expect you to do all necessary checks before payment.

Oh thats nice.
One more question, are cars cheaper in Ibadan or Ijebu-Ode compared to Lagos (Berger)??
Do you advise i go to Berger for Toks?

BusterG:


Thats why you should do a scan and physical check especially for undercarriage rust, linkages, shocks etc

How can one go about scanning a car at a dealer's outlet? Will it be allowed and who will bring the scanner?
Just asking this questions because i am about to get a Toks car.

Greystone:


I had a similar experience some years ago.

It was my 4th car.

There was this model i had always wanted. I was still saving up to get one from Cotonou then, when i saw the exact type parked at a car dealership on
my way to work. I couldn’t resist. I came down and had a look. Everything looked ok. Naija used for about one and half years.

Few days later, i brought my mechanic who inspected it. I test drove it and it felt good.

We settled on a price and deducted it from my trade in car. Rushed to the bank and transferred the balance.

Came back, signed the necessary documents and drove my “new” car home.

All was well till about 2 months later when the car refused to acknowlege the gear shift. Put the car in drive but car was like it was in “park”.
Na so i climb bike go work that day.

Got a mechanic to come look at it. Bottom line, automatic transmission (gearbox) had gone. Another 3 months of climbing bike up an down while 2 auto gearboxes wer sent up from Lagos (both wer fixed, didn’t work and returned back to Lagos).

Cut the long story short, I barely managed to sell that junk for 150k.

I will never buy Naija used car in my life again.

This is my fear of naija used cars especially all those sellers on NL. They are just after the money and will sell a dead car after sugar coating it engine and gear 100%

promotervickky:
Lol, before buying any car, ensure you get your mechanic to go with you, and also run a VINCheck on it

Quick question, will the sellers allow a VIN check to be run? Especially if its a Tokunbo car?
I have this morbid fear of buying a car that has been badly accidented and then repaired.

funkmrflexx:
We Have Been Dating For 1 Year and 6 months now. I’ve met her parents, we wanted to get married last year but her dad told me to wait till she finishes school which is supposed to be next year. I’m 25 years old and she’s 22 .

I live alone in the city while my mom lives in the village. My younger sister who I’m sponsoring through school sometimes comes to my place during holidays and weekends. My girlfriend practically lives with me because she comes from a type of an Abusive family. So she lives with me and I even assist her with school fees and house rents sometimes. I’ve spent even more than her father for her school.

Everyone In my family knows her and she’s a very wonderful girl. Typical wife material. She supports me every time even when I’m broke. I’m not the type of guy that dates a lot of girls . I don’t even cheat on her. Since I met her I’ve done away with a lot of ladies. I’m 100% committed to the relationship

But the problem is that she Has very bad anger issues. I mean she can destroy your property when she’s angry and I’m the quiet type. I don’t like hitting a lady execpt once in a while a general brain resetting slap. When she starts she doesn’t listen to anyone. Not me, not even her parents. So anytime she’s angry like this I will just find a way to make her laugh. Both of you can just be eating and she will get angry if you ate the fleshy part of the meat and left oily part for her (we have quarreled because of that I mean serious quarrel) . Sometimes I get tired of the whole situation. At the end even when she’s wrong I’ll let her for peace to reign. So I try to manage the anger at home so it shouldn’t go out

So we went to visit my mom in the yesterday. Because of curfew we slept over. So my mom bought us mangos this morning and told us to carry.

My girlfriend then said she doesn’t like mango that if I want to eat my mango I should carry it myself. Then my mom (she is the type that always shouts at every body. The real wahala woman) told her that if she can’t carry the mango then she should just put it on my head for me to carry na (If you no fit carry the mango u for kuku put am for e head make e carry am na).

That was the only thing my mom said. Then she sparked. Started shouting at my mom. That she should stop talking to her like that, that she doesn’t like it. In fact she’s going home. So she carried her bag and started going home. Every one in the compound started saying it’s ok (Na dat thing why dem tell u Dey make u Dey vex so) she was still shouting. I was even try to calm her down but no way. She was still shouting. Even my sister who had never seen her angry before became angry (na so you b? She said). I was really disappointed In her

The issue is what even made me angry is how she reacted. If she didn’t like what my mom said made her angry. At least she should have waited till we got home (this was the first time we were both sleeping over) then she would tell me. Or she could have called my sister and told her what my mom said. After all the fracas, she went inside the room till we left. I just told everybody to just leave her.

So when we got home I told her what she did was wrong that she shouldn’t have reacted like that. Na there war start. She started yelling and shouting at me that if my mom talks to everyone like that she won’t take it (my plan was to tell her that she should apologize to her. Because my mom already apologized that she won’t talk to her again like that. Which I know she will o . So we can just forget about the issue. But she never accepts she’s wrong ) She said I took her to my village to intimidate her in front of my family people, I was really angry and called her uncle and told him what happened. He said there was nothing wrong with what my mom told her (If you no fit carry the mango u for kuku put am for e head make e carry am na) and that he would talk to her .

I even scolded my mom before I left that I didn’t like what she said what she did that’s she was just causing issue. My girlfriend said when my mom said the word (If you no fit carry the mango u for kuku put am for e head make e carry am na) that I should have immediately rebuked my mom. But me sef no see anything wrong with what my mom said( If you no fit carry the mango u for kuku put am for e head make e carry am na)

I just Dey follow her uncle advise and leave her be until she calms down and I talk to her

So my people what’s offensive in this word? If you no fit carry the mango u for kuku put am for e head make e carry am na)

But this her attitude don tire me. Break up is not on the card for me at least not yet. She always thinks that they are other guys out there because she has a lot of toasters but I know they can’t do quarter of what I’m doing for her. In this modern time it’s difficult to see a guy who will allow his girlfriend stay with him thereby losing his freedom to do certain things. A guy who doesn’t cheat, a guy who takes care of her does everything for her .

I just think the things she went through in her family is affecting her physiological. And sometimes when I think about leaving her I feel pity because she can’t go back to her parents house.

Chai.... So ur mumu never do? Lol..... Hehehehehehehehehehehe.... This babe go show u pepper. Hahahahahaha... Shes waiting for the right time to strike and u as a mumu no fit caution the girl. Imagine a girl getting angry with ur mum and u are just there looking.
And by the way, are u the one thats supposed to carry the mangoes? Doesnt ur girl know its her duty to carry it. Na wah oh.... And this man thinks he has a wife material

Vibesking:


I've been using my RN7 for almost a year now without any screen protector and I've not had a single scratch on the screen!

However, as a new user back then, I was very cautious of my device. I didn't wanna take chances even though the manufacturer explicitly stated the phone came with a Gorilla Glass 5 (the best back then as far as durability is concerned).

So I opted to get a screen protector during the first month I bought the device. I ordered from AliExpress and the tempered glass arrived in a few weeks.

I was glad. At least my device would have extra protection. But unfortunately, my excitement was short-lived.

As I was about putting the tempered glass on, it broke! I dunno how it happened but it broke even before I had the opportunity to have it settled on my phone screen.

Apparently, the tempered glass I was hoping would protect my phone was even more fragile than Cabin biscuit.

I thought about getting another tempered glass. But once bitten, twice shy. So I said screw it! Ama use my device with no screen guard whatsoever.

It's been almost 12 months and I and my phone have lived happily ever after since then.

The weird stuff is, my phone still looks like it was bought yesterday! I would love to applaud my cautiousness, but I don't think I'm really that careful.

I sleep on it mistakenly [sometimes]. My female friends take it away for hours for photos and movies. It has fallen from a transit. It has dropped from my hands [countlessly]. It's been mistakenly thrown to a wall.

Behold, my RN7 liveth on. NO SCRATCH on the screen! Probably I'm just lucky.

However, here's my final verdict: If your screen takes a hit than it can bear, it will crack! Tempered glass or no tempered glass.

The Gorilla Glass 5 is solid. It can withstand a considerably strong hit and even repel scratches (I can attest to this). As for tempered glass, in whatever variation they come, they offer no real protection for your device. You're better off using your device without one.

Spot on bro. This is exactly what i have been saying. My fone is a living testimony too. Tampered glass only offers an illusion of protection and nothing in reality. Once the force is hard enough, the screen will crack whether it has tampered glass or not. All those forces that crack the tampered glass without cracking the screen is because the force was not hard enough to have affected the screen in the first place.

Thelucifer666:

Idk if it's just me but this look irritating to my eyes.
Too many scattered software's.

Likewise... Nothing enticing at all. Its too clustered

Timiflexi:


But what about the camera bump

Cause that's another issue again
Putting it on tables and flat surfaces

I dont know about other fones but the camera bump on my R7 is fine and no visible scratches. My fone is always on my table at work.

eby001:

Lol, madgoat that time, hope you're considering infinix note7?
The only reason I'm using casing with it is the cover which is prone to hand staining not to talk of scratch.
Come to think of it, its price is still fairly constant in the last 8months, no drop in price

At my place of work people are now using Xiaomi because of me. It has everything you will every want in a fone for less money. Is it the strong battery, durability, processor or fone beauty. Fone is an all rounder. Glad i am part of the Xiaomi family.

sajmark:

you are right. I tested the durability of the screen guard I thought was protecting my phone but alas it breaks like biscuits... best is to try as much as possible to avoid the phone falling to the ground. about the meats, hope madam didn't scold the kids?

I had to confess when i ate more than was normal
But I was happy my fone was intact.

kekilika:
That's how that woman's pot of soup will be getting sour on a regular basis and the culprit will be shouting, "that's how you people will be wasting money in this house"...

i can see u know a lot about it. My partner in crime

kekilika:
Since I started using phone, I have never used Tempered glass. I have no desire to do so in the future.

Abi oh. I always wonder why people are so fearful.
The point is to be careful with the fone. A fone should not be used roughly in the first place.

sajmark:

same thing I thought about, but what everyone is saying is "better safe than sorry"... by the way are there much scratches on your screen?

Not at all. But it would be senseless to put it in a pocket where u also keep ur keys or to put the fone on a table with the screen facing downwards. Also i dont give people my fone to handle.

I am someone that hates using case on fone even right from infinix days. After few days i usually stop using the case. It makes my fone ugly to touch. I like to feel and see the beauty of my fone. Afterall i bought the fone to enjoy it and not hide it.
