Hello fellow Nairalanders! I wanted to know what the physical equivalent of 10 million naira would be, considering the present economic situation of the country. Is it a petrol station,good quality hotel,standard secondary school, or what other ideas have you got that would cost that amount in terms of investment? Please, I need expert opinion, Thank you!

This company has laid a premature egg again. I think they need an incubator this time. Imagine an Android 4.2 without 3g. How would one access Google Play to download large softwares with these crappy networks? especially where WIFI isn't exactly widespread in Today's Nigeria? Anyway, I think people new to the Android experience should start with TECNO.They can move on 'up' later, to feel what Android really looks like.

We like deceiving ourselves alot in this country. We never reason from both sides of the coin, we just assume. I think many of the people defending this monstrosity are either church goers or private university products. I wonder if you guys would stand a chance in today's dog-eat-dog Nigeria. Anyway, your strength lies in the private sector. I am a privileged product of a public University of Technology here in Nigeria, FUTA, and I know the worth of my own education. It is not half-baked like many of you in privately owned institutions think. I worry the system of education in this country has been bastardised with money: Summer semester to run carry over courses, (thank God I heard that has been cancelled) Excessive first class from products that entered the system with 160 UME score and other eyesore. I am not being discriminatory here, but it's in the soon coming future that the repercussions would appear. We can all stand and watch.

You've not briefed us properly about the benefits of the product and the availability of the materials required to construct it. Please detail us more about why we need to pay for what you offer, thank you!

We really really need a council for the regulation of Education in this country. It's about that time!!!

OMG! And this made Nairaland front-page in 2013 when Nokia has invented a 41mp camera? SMH.

Lilhacker: my guy mtn bis has stopped...thank god for the rubbish poo we've been copyin we now use driod vpn which is even more effective...y don't u just sit back and use the rubbish poo to help ur smart phone life instead of insultin those who spend their mb tryin to help u...mtcheww

gentleman, I was not referring to everyone that has contributed some valuable knowledge to this thread, so take it easy! At least, not someone like 'lacosteIII' who just explained the mtn stuff up there. Some just come to paste what they didn't try out here, forgetting that many people reply on the knowledge before taking decisions. It's just isn't fair!

Allwellcj: hi house, who has eva used or still using etisalat BB subscription n is it still workin till date? wot is d apn settings like, d code n how much? i wasted money on glo n it didnt work pls i dnt want to waste money agn. someone using it n its sure shud help out pls.

Gotcha! they will never tell you the actual truth! Rather, they go to some rubbish blog and copy shit and head directly here to paste the nonsense, so that innocent people would fall victim. From my little knowledge, I think only airtel and MTN.BIS works on Android. MTN has been unreliable and expensive these days, leaving only Airtel as the better alternative. Just change your APN to blackberry.net. Hope this helps!

networkgenuis: Only is tested and trusted.

only what please?

Please please and please, who uses glo or etisalat BIS with Droid vpn on any android device? kindly feel me in on how to go about it. Don't allow me waste money, guys.

Please who is answering me now?

In this country, on the spectrum of morality, we are just on the other upper limit. How can we choose to suppress gay rights when we give consent to girls as young as 9 years to marry? I am not advocating for gay rights exactly, just expounding on our insincerity as a nation. Is marriage not a union between a man and a woman? So how exactly is a man and a girl and a man and a man distant from each other? If it doesn't fit perfectly, then it's just not right, I think

please does anyone use Droid VPN with either glo or etisalat? do we change the APN? Cos I am about to do the weekly of either (which one is recommended anyway?) Empty Hen gave me BIS limit till September 1st which I can't use cos I have used up my mb limit and Droid VPN drains my money like 5 alive with it. I can't reset the BIS Package anyway, called the Customer agent this morning and she said BIS no longer works on Android phones even if I decided to do the 1,500 which is now 3Gig.

[quote author=F.K.O]HAD D SAME ISH A WHILE BACK,TRYING TO REMEMBER HOW GOT OVER IT.BUT FOR NOW TRY FLASHING ANOTHER ROM PREFERABLY MIMICRY ICS ROM.ITS D MOST STABLE IN TERMS OF BATTERY LIFE[/quote]Thanks alot man! you're the best! I finally got it fixed today, had to login on Google Play with WIFI this afternoon. I particularly like this custom Ice Cream Sandwich you recommended, it has a very powerful equalizer.

We always put the cart before the horse in this country. It is the typical Nigerian attitude. Either we increase fuel price before building new refineries or this, yet we go as far away as China to seek loans for development. When will we ever get serious with ourselves as a nation?

They better don't call of the strike only to resume it later as they did recently. Better the strike is long and productive!

some Nigerians with internet acess are just foolishly jobless. Hey poster, I think you should have composed an open letter to Hitler instead. SMH

If Soyinka truly graduated with a Second class upper certificate, then it shows that many of the popular notions we've had concerning issues in this country is quite a misconception. I am quite shocked to learn about this, henceforth, I would never believe any popular opinion spreading around this country again till there is a concrete proof for such. It is dangerous to do so!

[quote author=F.K.O]JUST FLASH D GAPPS,BUT CLEAR DALVIC CACHE[/quote]I did that and after fully flashing the gapps, the messages I got was 'unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps' and 'setup wizard has stopped working'. Had to reflash Slimbean to bail myself out. I also noticed that while flashing the gapps, it sometimes stop halfway and the phone will shut down before I could fully install it. Please what might be the problems? Thanks

[quote author=F.K.O]U DIDN'T FLASH GAPPS WTH D ROM DATS Y U DON'T HAVE GOOGLE PLAY INSTALLED, TRY FLASHING D ROM THEN GAPPS.[/quote]you mean I should reflash the custom rom and flash the gaps after that or just go and flash the gapps directly?

Please to all guru's in the house, I am on my knees begging. How do I get Google play installed on this Slim Bean Custom ROM, even though I like it, yet I can't login on my favorite apps and Google Play. Facebook, Twitter Evernotes app and many other apps I downloaded didn't login. Please help before I smash my phone on a rock. Thanks

I wonder when Nairaland will stop forcing the Tecno brand down our noses. As a former user of their N3 brand, I have grown to hate the brand with the way they constantly attack the masses. People need to know that there are better Android brands out there that are economic and best for the price. Even if you buy them second-handed.

Let him get Investing for dummies by Eric Tyson. At least, he should be able to find his way from there, The book contains very helpful tips on how to steer your investment.

adeinfinit: My g2 nw runnin slimbean 4.2.... am so luvin it

have you had access to Google play yet?

But I have lost access to Google play. #crying. no more automatic updates of apps. Any help please?

[quote author=F.K.O]FLASH A CUSTOM ROM[/quote]Thanks man. Really appreciate. I just Ported to Slimbean Android 4.2.2 and I'm loving it! Very sleek OS, and no problems encountered yet. Games run smoothly now!

Eko Atlantic: I feel their patriotism and relentless spirit, but Abuja looks more appropriate to stage protest like this. It's solely on the Federal government and Abuja is the rightful place their voices can be well heard.

You should never expect much from Abuja University students. Right under their noses, their University froze up for a very long time . I think their inaction mirrors into the very soul of Abuja city. Delusion with a cosmetic makeup. I hope more of this comes up across Nigeria so that the governmet will know that students are not as gullible as before, especially in this 21st century. We students are fully aware of the revolutions around the world.

Hello everbody in the house. Please i recently got a T mobile HTC desire G2 second-handed. OS version 2:3:4. I hangs sometimes, the dialer freezes up, the sywpe keyboard pre-installed refuses to work. Some apps from Google play writes invalid package file upon full download and won't install.I did a phone reset when I got it, and I discovered that it still retains its rooting access, with superuser. what should be the solution please? Thanks!

I really don't want to believe that big cooperations such as Shoprite can swallow up small businesses in Today's Nigeria. Considering the fact that we have very bad roads, deranged drivers and the not-central location of many of these big shops, you would not be a wise spender in my own opinion, to go right ahead and benefit from their supposedly low prices when you would have bought goods at slightly higher amounts in a shop in your locality. in developed nations, they have good roads and it is relatively cheaper to move around to purchase bulk items from such locations and also, people that patronise such giant shops know it wouldn't take a toll on their finances, since they have well developed monthly budget. Right here, the story is not entirely the same! Africans think that deeply, so many of us are succeptible to this gullibility. Just because goods are cheap doesn't mean we should go right on to buy them.

FKBZ: hello materixme,

pls got the bematel tablet but dont know how to get started on it.

got a external modem so i can access 3g network.

pls what network plan can i use to start browsing and can i recieve calls when my sim is in the external 3gmodem.

pls reply when you can.

I use MTN BIS with a universal modem. Just change the APN to 'blackberry.net'. You would never be able to recieve a call on both the sims in the tablet and the modem once it's being connected. I finally figured out that both camera mp is 0.3mp which is a downside.
**@4llerbuntu, you should have chosen to be silent, since you didn't have anything meaningful to contribute. FYI, I am not marketing the product, just a buyer, giving a user experience!

Slurph! Now Lagos should get ready to go down the way of Nigeria niyen! I mean that proverbially.
