Add a general poll on Nairaland and you'll see Nokia phones beating Android and iPhone hands down.

Take an opinion poll in most Universities these days and you'd see even crappy Blackberry beating Android and iPhone hands down (thanks to BBM)

@Kobojunkie

ANAMMCO are clearly wrong to classify themselves as an assembly plant. They haven't read the memo from homerac7 and others that they are now a manufacturing plant. These nairaland fellas know a lot more about the company than the people who work there.
Once the directors and managers read the memo, I'm sure they will correct the mistake on their website.

U got me wrong. I'm not interested in if ANAMCO outsources locally or not, in fact I don't know. I'm only referring to his general manufacturing systems outsourcing concept.
So what was the point of you butting in? You don't even have a clue on what the unpleasant exchange was about. I could give two craps about his outsourcing concept as it was irrelevant to what ANAMMCO actually is.

homerac7:
I remember his mentioning OEMs in Nnewi supplying locally fabricated parts wc is same wt every auto manufacturer all over d world. U citing from d company's website isn't effective enough in ds case as u also will not usually c d listing of EOMs on other auto manufacturer's website. Absence of wc doesn't imply non-existence. U can take a try.
I really don't know what you going on about. I imagine you don't either. So for clarity, ANAMMCO is an assembly plant. They do not manufacture the vehicle parts, they assemble them. That is the function of the plant; assembly. As such they are not actually outsourcing the jobs of manufacturing these vehicle parts. If that is so hard to understand then good riddance.

*sigh*

Auto manufacturing was never given priority in the scheme of things at the federal level, until the establishment of six assembly plants (two for cars and four for trucks), namely, Peugeot Automobile Nigeria Limited (now PAN Nigeria Limited), Kaduna in 1975; Volkswagen of Nigeria Limited (VWoN), Lagos); Anambra Motor Manufacturing Limited (ANAMMCO), (Emene-Enugu) in 1980; Steyr Nigeria Limited, Bauchi; National Truck Manufacturers (NTM, Kano for Fiat); and Leyland Nigeria Limited, Ibadan.

It's not hard to google information on ANAMMCO. They say ignorance is bliss. In this case, it seems they are right. Yes ANAMMCO is ermm "outsourcing". *rolleyes*

Go and read about outsourcing and how companies use it to maximize profits.[/quote]WTH since when did radios become essential part of cars? Shouldn't you be refering to engines, chasis, brake dics, gears, other mechanical moving parts, etc. I have no idea where you think you are going with this. Bottom line is what ANAMMCO does is assembling. If they start producing their own engines, and other essential cars parts from raw materials then thats different. This is not a swipe at ANAMMCO. They are actually doing quite well.

Outsourcing? Maximise profits? Don't make me laugh. This has nothing to do with outsourcing and everything to do with technical ability.

Double N:
But if i was giving an iphone4 and a Nexus S,i will definitely go for the Iphone4.
What about between the Iphone 4 and GALAXY. Another advantage of the Andriod over the Iphone is multiple manufacturers which means multiple sleek phone handsets to pick from. And multiple types of smart phones to pick from (High end or otherwise). Basically, Andriod = Choice!
Word on Apple hardware though. It usually is top notch like you say.

texazzpete:
In most android phones, if you don't root them, the carrier owns you. Which is why @otumfour is still stuck on Android 2.1 on his galaxy S.
What do you mean by this statement? You don't need to root your Andriod to get any app you want.

texazzpete:
I'm not sure what you mean by this. the iPhone has more (and better quality) apps than Android, and as soon as you jailbreak it, you have access to lots more apps beyond's Apple's control. You'll have full control of your hardware.
That is not true and based purely on opinion. The fact is the Iphone currently has many more apps than the Android (To say they are better quality is not true). However, those apps have to first be oked by Apple which basically gives Apple control of what you can or can't do with your own device. That as far as I'm concerned, is ridiculus.

As for jailbreaking (enabling unrestricted write access)

Won't be long now.

And Apple claims it voids your warranty
http://www.cultofmac.com/apples-official-response-to-dmca-jailbreak-exemption-it-voids-your-warranty/52463

Basically with Apple, they believe they know what's best for you. That doesn't fly with me. I know what's best for me.
-------------------------------------------

Having said that both products are great and work well for what they are intended. My preference is the Andriod because it is way more open and customizable out of the box. Whichever is prefered by the OP will depend on what he requires of the phone which I explained in my earlier post.
PhonesRe: Android Or Iphone, Which One Is Better? by Mariory(m): 4:47pm On Dec 18, 2010
@OP

It depends on what you want. If you desire freedom to do whatever you wish (customized look, play, listen to, and watch what you want etc) with a product you have paid for then go for an Android.

If you are happy with an out of the box product and don't care about what apple decides you can or can't do with something you have paid for then an Iphone is fine.

Both OSes are pretty comparable. The one big difference is that the Andriod is an open system and so will allow you to extensively "play" with the phone you have purchased. And if the phone's hardware allows, you may be able to get software that adds new functionality to the phone (much like people have done with the nintendo's WII remote, microsoft's KINECT etc)

[quote author=eku_bear link=topic=568607.msg7338852#msg7338852 date=1292406864]Hrm. So I mean failure in a relative sense. The amount of oil some of these countries pump from the ground doesn't actually seem to positively impact the lot of your average man as much as it "seems" it should.

Here is a list of countries by GDP per capita: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita

Saudi Arabia is #39, at 16.6k.

You'd think that having the largest oil reserves in the world would lead to more wealth than say a country like the frikkin Czech Republic (18.7k).

Otoh, look at Norway. #2 on that ranking, GDP/capita of $84K.

So I feel that they are underacheiving, somehow.[/quote]Compare the population of the Czech republic with that of Saudi Arabia. Norway is a major oil and gas supplier.

Absolutely untrue. SA has been active a couple of times on the world stage going back a number of years. And it was terrific because of the fans passion for football itself not because of 'air-conditioned facilities'.

What exactly do you mean by "footballing nation"? The USA and Australia may have participated in previous world cups  and may have posted some good performances but they can't exactly be classified as "footballing nations" IMO.
Yes they can. Though Australia to a much lesser extent. Awarding the World Cup to Qatar to me is the same as giving New Zealand the rights to host a F1 grand prix (because they can afford it).

Qatar is a country where horse racing attracts bigger audiencies than local club football matches.
PoliticsRe: Niger Delta: Up To 150 Killed By Army? by Mariory(m): 10:47pm On Dec 06, 2010
Resurgent unrest in the Niger Delta risks undermining the credibility of President Goodluck Jonathan in the run-up to elections next April and his administration is keen to show he has a grip on criminality there.

He is the first Ijaw head of state and brokered an amnesty with militants last August, which saw thousands of gunmen lay down their weapons and brought more than a year without significant attacks on the oil industry.

Some activists said scores of civilians died in last week's military offensive, which lasted several days, but the Ijaw Youth Council civil rights group, which inspected Ayakoromo after the raids, said nine civilians had died.

The Red Cross said its aid workers had seen about 30 civilians evacuated to a military barracks and others sheltering in primary schools at Ayakoromo. Hundreds of displaced women, in need of food and water after days in the creeks, arrived at the compound of a prominent Ijaw leader in the nearby town of Warri.
