Romance / Man Buys 99 Iphones To Propose To His Girlfriend; She Says No by matrixx9(m): 7:50am On Nov 11, 2014
If he was marrying a Naija Girl this wouldn't have
happened... Lol
He got 99 iPhones but gettin’ hitched ain’t done.
With “Singles’ Day” looming in China (Nov. 11),
one man thought the time was right to try to tie
the knot with his girlfriend, preventing them both
from having to participate in any future 11/11
festivities.
As a keystone of the young programmer’s
marriage proposal were 99 iPhones 6’s placed on
the ground and arranged in the form of a heart.
The setup, as reported by The Nanfang , cost the
love-bitten chap two years’ salary (about
$82,000).
But that evidently wasn’t enough. She said no.
Siri, how do you mend a broken heart?I
Whether our once-hopeful groom likes it or not,
pictures of the ultimately sad event (seen below)
are up on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo.
But of course, with a bushel of iPhones that size,
we’re not convinced he has any real reason to feel
too bummed. According to a recent survey, one in
five men would actually rather have an iPhone 6
than a girlfriend. And that number is even up
from last year’s survey about the iPhone 5s,
where one in eight said they would forgo the soft
touch of a woman for a new Touch ID-equipped
Apple phone.
So, whether our crestfallen man ends up
hawking these phones one by one to make back
big bucks , or just decides that 99 Siris are better
than one real wife, we get the sense that he’ll be
OK in the end. Remember, it’s better to have loved
and lost 99 iPhones than never to have loved at
all.

Phones / Why Nigeria Is Not Advancing In Technology by matrixx9(m): 7:41am On Nov 11, 2014
Nigeria is supposedly the Giant Of Africa But It is a
pity that Nigeria is still yet to come up
with great technology and still dependA on other
countries for gadgets that can be produced
by Nigerians if the necessary infrastructure is
provided. Nigerians are unique, making
breakthroughs in almost
every walk of life but in technology there is a huge
setback, Here are some of the problems i think
that is drawing Nigeria back in technology.




.Nigerian Tech Websites Are Mainly Focused On
]How To Outsmart The Service Providers


In Nigeria, The only thing that Tech Website Owners
think about when it comes to technology is mostly
Free Browsing
,Cheats,Tweaks apart from few tutorials that are
helpful; while foreign sites are focused on bringing
educative tutorials like 'how-to do this' to their people
and help them be more creative. here's a comparison
between
the kind of things we see on Nigerian Sites and what
we see on Foreign Sites
[Nigeria] MTN CHEAT BLAZING FAST WITH N0.00
GLO BLAZING WITH N5 AND PROXYSERVER
ETISALAT 15GB CHEAT
AIRTEL BIS ROCKS ON ANDROID WITH IMEI
MTN MAGIC SIM ..FULL SPEED
[Foreign] Microsoft moves to create smartphones that
can control itself
How To Develop A simple Android Game
How To Make A Mobile Phone
Learn HTML5 with Ease
Simple Photoshop Tricks
Now any smart person can see that this is a very big
difference, and why this is a huge setback. site
owners should move to post more informative posts on
their sites
Although the service providers are partly to blame for
this with exorbitant data charges leaving subscribers
to start looking for solutions.



THE GOVERNMENT HARDLY HELPS THOSE WHO
ARE CREATIVE


The Nigerian Government hardly help those who
create certain things that would boost the country's
technological advancement, they are
mainly focused on matters that they feel are more
relevant forgetting that technology can turn the
whole economy around with the speed of light.
Foreign Countries come here and take our smart
students under the disguise of scholarship and due
to the fact that the government doesn't provide
or help these students , they gladly leave the country.
let the Nigerian Government offer an american kid
scholarship to study in nigeria and see what
happens.
We need to change.

Romance / Help. She's Cursed To Be A Spinster Forever by matrixx9(m): 2:44pm On Nov 09, 2014
My name is Nkemka and I am 35 years old. I grew
up in hardship with my family in the village many
years back. I can comfortably say my family was
noted for poverty and it seemed as though no good
thing could ever come out of our entire existence on
earth.
My late dad was a palm-wine tapper while my
mother sold fruits in the market. We never had access
to the good things of life and only managed to eat
twice a day and I tell you we always had very little.
Out of five of us from my parents, I was the only
lucky one to attend a public school and you can
imagine that it was such toil and I had to borrow
textbooks most of the time, wear patched uniform etc.
And my dad would constantly remind me that he
could never afford to send me to the university and I
should be prepared to stop my education after
secondary school. I never argued with him but
concentrated on my studies and because I was
intelligent, I was always among the first 3 in each
class. I did very well in my G.C.E. and came out of
secondary school in flying colours.
As God would have it, at Christmas that same year,
the daughter of the richest man in our village came
from Lagos with her family and needed a house-
help and I was promptly recommended. Within a
few days, I was in Lagos for the first time in my
entire life. It was like travelling to America and my
entire family was filled with joy and grateful to
God.
Lagos was a whole new world for me and at a point,
I didn’t even mind if I couldn’t continue my
education. I was just satisfied and felt so blessed. I
had good food to eat, good clothing and good shelter
compared to what I had in the village. And because
I could speak very good English, it was easy for me
to flow with others. Less than a year later, my
gracious boss whose husband worked with
Schlumberger had to relocate to France with her
husband and family.
That broke my heart as I knew I was on my own. I
had two options, either to go back to the village or
manage myself in the wilderness of Lagos. It was a
wilderness for me then as I wasn’t socialising much
and didn’t really know my way around save our
neighborhood. I confided in a friend of mine next
door who was also a house-help and she decided to
discuss with her brother who was a plumber and
who just acquired a 2 bedroom apartment. As God
would have it, he decided to let me stay for some time
while I searched for a job.
Emeka was extremely nice to me and treated me like I
was his sister. Though, my madam gave me a
generous amount when she was leaving the country,
Emeka took care of all our meals in the house and if
I had to go out, he would give me transport fare and
generally took care of me. Before long, we fell in love
with each other and began dating.
He encouraged me to proceed to the university and I
passed my JAMB exams at the first sitting. With his
help, I studied Mass Communications and
graduated on record time. Not long after, I got a job
in a television station and was eventually posted to
a federal government parastatal in Abuja where my
immediate boss worked directly with the seat of
power and before long I also had access as well and
life just became a beautiful dream.
Overnight, I found myself on a pedestal I can assure
you no one in my lineage would every dream of
climbing. I have not only been constantly travelling
outside the country but have the good things of life.
In fact, whenever I go to the village for Christmas, my
mother would insist I stay in a hotel away from
prying wicked eyes as I had become the breadwinner
and even re-built my father’s house.
Though I was born into poverty, I was enjoying the
best things in life and had more than enough
money but I never enjoyed a relationship. My heart
was broken times without number as I was
disappointed after each marriage proposal. I was
close to God and had been everywhere you could
imagine to pray. I got the same answer everywhere,
‘Someone swore that over his dead body will I marry
anyone else but him.’
That person was my first real boyfriend, Emeka the
plumber, who still remained one after all these years.
I pleaded with him to let me go as I am no longer in
love with him and even offered him the sum of
N2,000,000 (two million naira) but he insists on
marrying me. I can’t imagine myself marrying him.
It’s impossible. Please, what do you think is the way
out?

Sports / David Moyes Is Better Than Luis Van Gaal - Scholes by matrixx9(m): 7:29pm On Nov 08, 2014
Paul Scholes says Manchester United have not been
good enough under Louis van Gaal so far, insisting
a club of their stature cannot just play well and
lose.
Writing in the Independent, the legendary former
United midfielder admitted he was surprised by how
'subdued' Van Gaal has been in the Old Trafford
dugout compared with the way he was at the World
Cup while managing Holland.
And Scholes also made reference to United's inferior
record at this stage of the season compared with the
last under David Moyes - United have 13 points from
10 games after their defeat at the hands of
Manchester City last weekend.
'The scoreline against City might have been more
respectable than last season but the performance in
the first hour of the game was very poor indeed,' said
Scholes.
'This is Manchester United. It is simply not good
enough to play well for 20 minutes and lose.
'Louis van Gaal talks about progress. I expected
United to have a better record by this stage of the
season. Under David Moyes last season United had
17 points from their first 10 games. This time, having
spent £150million in the summer, they have 13 points
from 10 games.'
Scholes also says he has become worried about the
apparent downbeat mood of the squad after their
underwhelming start to the campaign, especially in
the case of record signing Angel di Maria.
'My concern is that the mood among the United
players feels a bit low-key,' he continued. 'Preparing
for the broadcast of the game in Madrid this week, I
watched re-runs of last season and Angel di Maria
smiling broadly as he celebrated goal after goal with
Cristiano Ronaldo.
'He doesn’t seem to be in the same happy mood at
United. It feels downbeat among the team.'
Scholes added that the Dutch boss has appeared a
completely different character to the man who led
Holland to third place at the World Cup, and that it
can be tricky at times to decipher his thought process
during matches.
'It is difficult to figure out what Van Gaal is
thinking during games,' explained Scholes. 'His
demeanour doesn’t change throughout. He looks a
bit subdued. Certainly, he appears very different to
the man you saw on the touchline at the World
Cup.'

Politics / Nigeria: Possible Naira Devaluation Causes Market Shock by matrixx9(m): 9:58am On Nov 07, 2014
Uncertainty persists as a mass exodus of investors
from the equity and bond markets shy away from
local assets amid fears of an imminent currency
devaluation.
Nigeria has had to contend with that setback,
worsened by the undesired macroeconomic effects of a
falling oil price.
“The Central Bank of Nigeria’s attempts to calm the
market have fallen on deaf ears. In fact, it has
created more uncertainty as a string of circulars
seemingly unnerved participants in the interbank
market, provoking a surge in demand as importers
bring forward their commitments,” Rand Merchant
Bank stated in its latest Global Markets update.
“Yesterday (Thursday) was a prime example of the
interbank market’s inability to absorb the rising level
of demand,” added the think-tank.
The Naira spiked to 172 toward the close of the day,
necessitating swift central bank intervention.
The unit eventually clawed its way back to 168,75
following the sale of an undisclosed amount of US
dollars by the CBN.
However, the central bank is limited in its ability to
directly influence the spot rate due to its dwindling
international reserve position.
“We have long held that an oil event, be it a drop in
the price or production, would demand an upward
adjustment of the reference rate. While conditions are
primed for a change, the upcoming presidential
elections might impact the timing of monetary policy
adjustments,” RMB stated.
The elections are due early next year.
Tensions have characterised the lead up to the polls.

Politics / Atiku Pledges Free Education At All Levels by matrixx9(m): 6:47am On Nov 07, 2014
The former Vice-President and one of the presidential
aspirants on the platform of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has said he
will declare free educations at all levels if elected
president of the country.
Atiku has also proposed a number of ways to protect
and promote the rights of women and the girl-child
in Nigeria.
The former vice-president spoke at the public
presentation/launching of a book, “Re-thinking the
legal framework for rights of women and girl-child
in Nigeria,” in honour of founder, Women
Trafficking and Child Labour Eradication
Foundation (WOTCLEF), Hajiya Amina Titi Atiku
Abubakar.
Speaking on the state of affairs in the education
sector, Atiku
Abubakar, said the sector has suffered under
funding due to corruption, adding that if elected
president he will do everything possible including
declaring free education at all level to make quality
education available to Nigerians.
“Definitely l will declare at all levels. We will find
the resources to fund free education. When they are
wasting resources on corruption, why will they not
find resources to implement it.
“I believe that we should have free educations at all
levels, but l know that not all the state governments
have the resources to undertake that. That is why
when we were in government, we made free and
compulsory up to secondary school level,” he said.
The Turaki Adamawa, listed the ways to protect and
promote the rights of women and the girl-child to
include free compulsory basic education for all
children under 18 years of age, to be funded by the
states and local governments with support of the
federal government, public health efforts to reduce the
rate of maternal and child mortality.
Other initiatives include the institution of a well-
funded welfare system, combating sexual violence
against women by encouraging them to speak out
about sexual violence and other violations of their
rights and prevention of all forms of child abuse
such as child labour, child marriage and child
abandonment.
The former vice-president condemned the poor
educational, health and social situation of women
and the girl-child in our society and criticised the
lack of opportunities available to the girl-child.
He, however, commended the effort and foresight of
the founder of WOTCLEF and the team that made
the endeavour a success.
According to Atiku, “educating girls is vital to society
because girls who acquire education tend to become
better mothers, and tend to have fewer, healthier and
well-looked after children.”
He described as “very poor and embarrassing, the
2012 Gender in Nigeria report which placed Nigeria
at 118 out of the 134 countries in gender equality
index stating that the report shows that we are not
treating our women and girls well.”
Speaking at the event, representative of NAPTIP,
Abdulrahim Opotu Shaibu, a director, disclosed that
the organisation has rescued more than 6,000
trafficked women and children and achieved the
conviction of 258 traffickers since the agency came
into being.

I wonder What Use This is Going To Be With the
Exorbitant Call Rates Charged by network operators
Subscribers to the telecommunications service provider,
MTN Nigeria will, as from Today have
the opportunity to recharge their phones for as low as
N10.

The Chief Marketing Officer of MTN, Bayo
Adekanmbi, revealed this in a statement on
Thursday.

The statement quoted Adekambi to have said that
the initiative, to be launched in Kano, was to ensure
that no Nigerian was shut out of the values that the
network offers.

It stated, “Apart from making it possible for
customers to purchase airtime at the lowest rates, it
also offers opportunities for small scale entrepreneurs
to sell low-unit portion packs of recharge cards as a
new revenue stream. Again, everyday people such as
Maishayi, neighbourhood stalls, housewives,
students, etc would also benefit immensely from this
proposition.”

Politics / Boko Haram Denies Cease Fire Agreement by matrixx9(m): 5:54pm On Nov 01, 2014
In the ongoing back and forth between the
Nigerian government and Boko Haram, the
militant terrorist group's leader has denied both a
cease-fire with the government and plans
to release more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls.
Abubakar Shekau, seen in this video from early
October, released a more recent message on
Friday saying the missing schoolgirls have
converted to Islam and have all been married off.
(Video via Sahara TV )
If true, it stands as a complete reversal of
reports from earlier this month that the Nigerian
government was in the process of freeing the
schoolgirls and working on a much-needed cease-
fire with Boko Haram. (Video via CNN )
The validity of the announced cease-fire
was questioned as a possible pre-election publicity
stunt by the government, and further attacks on
villages by Boko Haram cast it into further doubt.
After the release of this latest video, an Al
Jazeera correspondent reporting from Nigeria's
capital says there's a feeling the country is back
at square one in freeing the kidnapped girls.
AHMED IDRIS VIA AL JAZEERA: "The general
feeling here is of anxiety or fear of that sense
that we are back to where we were two weeks
ago."
This isn't the only time military officials and
Boko Haram have offered conflicting reports
either. (Video via BBC)
In September, Cameroonian officials claimed they
had killed Shekau showing a grainy photo as
proof. A month later, he appeared in a video
telling officials he was still alive. (Video via
Euronews)
A recent report by Human Rights Watch revealed
new details on the conditions those kidnapped by
the terrorist group face, including abuse, forced
labor, and forced participation in military
operations. (Video via Human Rights Watch )

Celebrities / I Never Knew Acting Would Take Me This Far- Genevieve Nnaji by matrixx9(m): 5:40pm On Nov 01, 2014
SHE WAS described as ‘Nollywood’s Julia Roberts’ by Oprah
in 2009, yet Nigerian actress Genevieve Nnaji has doubled
Roberts’ film count – with a total of 80 credits to her name
– in a career that has spanned almost two decades.
Making her television debut at the tender age of eight,
Nnaji has gone on to become one of Nigeria’s hottest and
most successful faces.
From 2003’s Blood Sister, alongside fellow Nollywood star
Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, to the more recent blockbuster
Half of a Yellow Sun, opposite London-born Hollywood
actor Thandie Newton and 12 Years a Slave’s leading man,
Chiwetel Ejiofor, Nnaji has revelled in a cross-section of
scripts in the ever-competitive industry.
Much like Nollywood, which is now the second biggest
film industry in the world, Nnaji has worked incredibly
hard to get to the top, a feat she says she owes to the West
African market, which launched her onto the world’s
stage.
“We’ve been churning out films for years now and we’ve
managed to break into the homes of millions of people
around the world,” she says. “There are a lot of success
stories that have come out of [the Nollywood film
industry].”
And Nnaji is definitely one of them.
The 35-year-old actress, the fourth of eight children, was
born in Mbaise, Imo State, Nigeria, into a strict middle
class Catholic family. Her father is a retired banker and
her mother a schoolteacher.
Though the actress completed all her studies, she shunned
‘conventional’ professions like her parents and opted
instead for career in the arts.
However, she is quick to point out that her 19-year-old
daughter Chimebuka, who is the same age Nnaji was
when she found fame, won’t do the same.
“I think we have enough entertainers in our family quite
frankly,” she laughs.
On her journey in film, the softly-spoken star said: “[When
I did my first television appearance] I was eight, we were
pretty much just playing around.
“I was a child model and there was an opportunity for
any child actors to come in and perform and the best way
they could do that was to go into an agency and that’s
how I got involved at an early age. I went back to school,
so it wasn’t like a continuous process. Coming back into it,
I was 19 and it was something that I wanted to do by that
time. I didn’t know it would take me this far though, but
I’m grateful, I can’t complain. So far, so good.”
In 2005, Nnaji won the Best Actress in a Leading Role at
the inaugural Africa Movie Academy Awards and earns
an estimated N2.5m (£9,375.33) –N3.5 m (£13,125.42) per
Nollywood movie.
It’s quite apt to note here that the West African movie
machine employs over a million people, churns out
approximately 2,500 movies a year, most of which go direct
to television and DVD across the continent and further
abroad.
She said of her success in a recent interview: “For a long
time I kept thinking, OK, this is just temporary, definitely
I’m going to go back to school and read law, English or
something.”
But after film number 15, it’s probably safe to say the
actress had found her calling.
And having conquered many milestones in film, the
award-winning star has moved into fashion, recently
launching her new line, St Genevieve, described as “the
epitome of elegance, created for women with sophistication
at its core,” in her Nigerian hometown.
“[St Genevieve] is me basically trying to ease myself slowly
and softly into the market. By recreating my personal style
into my fashion label, I am creating this collection that
brings to life strong and sexy pieces for every woman to look
good. I’m definitely going to do a men’s line in the future
and go crazy with the styles,” she says.
But in the first instance, Nnaji has drawn on her own
“conservative” style for inspiration. She has also joined
forces with Jumia, Africa’s leading online shopping
destination, which enables her to sell her designs all over
the continent.
“They’re the biggest retail store we have in Africa, so having
them as partner is amazing, I couldn’t ask for more.
Our partnership gives us the opportunity to reach other
countries in Africa so it’s a good platform to distribute.”
Her ultimate aim, however, is to see her designs, which is
themed around pieces from chic to casual, worn all over
the world, especially in the UK.
“We have Nigerians and Africans all over the world, there
are thousands of them in the UK. It would be a great
thing to be able to see my line stocked in retail stores
around in the UK.
“We’re working on that as we speak. We’ll try and target
major stores to ensure we reach everyone who identifies with
me and my style.”
Even without fashion, Nnaji’s influence around the world
is undeniable.
With over 1.4 million fans on social media, her transition
from film to fashion looks set to be as seamless as her most
coveted dress from her line, but something that may not be
so smooth is her acceptance of the word “role model”.
“I don’t put pressure on myself by considering myself a role
model. I don’t think that’s what I set out to be when I
wanted to act, but along the way, I guess that’s what I
have become. For me, I feel whatever I am doing; I will
always be true to myself.”
What she is more that willing to accept is the effect her
success has on fellow dark-skinned women, coming from a
country that is thought to have the world’s highest
percentage of women using skin-lightening agents.
She says: “People need to definitely erase the mindset that
any other colour is better than your colour. I think it’s a
complex. I am dark-skinned, I know who I am inside,
forget the skin. I think darker-skinned women should
really focus on the inner beauty and not allow somebody
else’s complex or insecurities to overshadow their
confidence.”

Politics / Rivers PDP Secretariat Set Ablaze By Arsonists by matrixx9(m): 1:55pm On Oct 31, 2014
A part of the Rivers state secretariat
of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP was gutted by
fire
in the early hours of Friday.
Vanguard gathered that the timely intervention of
those
around saved the building from being consumed by
the fire. A source said the fire was even put out before
arrival of fire fighters from the state. It could not be
confirmed if documents were destroyed.
The state Chairman of the party, Mr Felix Obuah
who
spoke on the incident blamed it on those whom he
alleged did not want the party ward congress slated
for
tomorrow to hold.
It is not clear if he referred to the opposition parties in
the state or opposition within the party. The PDP has
been enmeshed in internal crisis in the last four
months
with some of the party members calling for the
dissolution of the state leadership on the ground
that it
is allegedly acting the script of the former Minister of
State for Education, Mr Nyesom Wike, an allegation
the
party leadership had continued to deny. On his
part,
Wike who is also contesting for the party’s ticket for
the
next governorship election also dismissed the
allegation
as false.
Meantime, about fifteen governorship aspirants of the
party Thursday called on the national leadership of
the party to ensure the governorship ticket did not go
to
an Ikwerre man, apparently referring to Nr Wike who
is
from Ikwerre. According to them it would amount to
injustice if another Ikwerre man succeeded governor
Chibuike Amaechi who is from Ikwerre.
Some of them also accused the state leadership of the
party of moving to install Wike as the party’s
candidate.
The state Chairman of the party, Mr Obua said the
congress would still go ahead inspite of the protest
and
complaints

Phones / MTN Planning On Delivering Super Fast Internet Access To Its Customers by matrixx9(m): 9:42pm On Oct 30, 2014
Alcatel-Lucent is opening up Africa's most populous
nation to the benefits of ultra-broadband
connectivity by launching a superfast, 100 gigabit-
per-second fiber-optic network with MTN Nigeria, a
subsidiary of Dubai-based MTN Group.
MTN Nigeria, which covers more than almost 90
percent of Nigeria's land mass, will deploy a 100G
network that re-uses existing 10G optical assets
thereby preserving MTN past investments while
ensuring future proof and state of art solution.
According to Lynda Saint-Nwafor, CTO of MTN
Nigeria said,"MTN realized we needed to upgrade
our network to meet customer expectations for ultra-
broadband connectivity and high reliability within
Nigeria's very competitive marketplace. We wanted a
state of the art solution that met three main criteria:
increased network reliability, a high degree of
scalability to prepare the network for 400G and
beyond, and preservation of our existing 10G
investment. Alcatel-Lucent's demonstrations showed
that they could meet all of our criteria and we look
forward to deploying the network overlay in 2014."
Nigeria's growing economy is fueling a proliferation
of mobile subscribers, which number about 275 to
every one landline in the country. As a result,
Nigeria has a significant need for reliable, mobile
broadband access to support growing demand for
bandwidth hungry services such as streaming video
plus the ever-increasing need from enterprises for
storage and data center connections. The new
network also gives MTN the capacity and flexibility
to offer wholesale services to other service providers in
the region.
MTN Nigeria is the biggest mobile operator in
Nigeria, Africa's most populous country, and West
Africa region with more than 58 million subscribers
and also is the largest subsidiary in the MTN Group.
MTN Nigeria's network covers 88.8 percent of the
country's land mass giving 86.2 percent of the
population access to mobile services.
Alcatel-Lucent is supporting MTN Nigeria's rapid
growth in mobile subscribers by building a 100G
DWDM/OTN network using Alcatel-Lucent's 1830
Photonic Service Switch (PSS) platform, a family of
equipment that has been designed according to the
latest international SD-FEC zero touch photonics and
coherent technology.
"We knew that MTN's top priority was to provide
reliability to their customers but they also wanted to
offer ultra-broadband and they wanted to retain
usefulness of as much of their legacy network as
possible. We were able to show that we can give them
a cost-effective solution that accomplishes all of their
goals in a way that no one else could," said Hatim
Zougari, Country Senior Officer of Alcatel-Lucent in
Nigeria.
Alcatel-Lucent Agile Optical Networking combines
WDM, OTN, and GMPLS/ASON control plane
intelligence to assure scalable, versatile, reliable and
efficient transport at 100G and beyond.
