I don't like being categorised or labelled something I didn't say I am. So don't do that its condescending. But I do get your point, and I only hope you get mine too. I have defended Xiaomi in the past but this wasn't the case here. I was only providing you with an hack based on the reality on ground.

I am the kind of person that likes going for what he truly wants. From your previous posts it sounded like you would have gone for a better phone than RN8 if it had the sd card. So I was like there is otg there na no reason to get anything lesser than what you really want.

Then I asked, why not get a laptop instead? Most of the tech pple I know are know are more focused on the strengths of their laptops than their phones. But I do know know a guy who makes amazing graphic design with his phone. That's why I asked. Out of nowhere someone else that my reply wasn't tailored to, jumped on it and you know the rest.

Xiaomi is great but I don't follow blindly. And I personally don't feel the sd card is necessary. That's my own opinion and I do hope you respect that just the same way I have come to respect yours. 256gb is too much for me. And based on statistics I believe this is true to most average phone users. That's why you see IPhone, Xiaomi and other brands are not too keen on the sd card. Because average phone users make up more than 80% of phone sales.

You are in a minority to be honest. You can freely petition xiaomi or whatever brand you like that don't use SD cards for their top phones or better yet go for Samsung. But to come here and guilt trip me into accepting your narrative just because we are "African brothers" is not something that brings me positive vibes. Just because you have your opinion on the matter doesn't mean we must all accept it and unite with you against phone brands. I don't share your views and that doesn't make my opinion anyless important than yours, that I have to drop it and blindly unite with you undecided

But since you clearly like Xiaomi and don't want to go for Samsung at least for now then using otg isn't that bad of an idea. But it clearly sounds like you don't buy this idea, so get the RN8 instead for now till you get enough cash to get a Samsung phone that will give you everything you personally want. Case closed!
u can't say it any better.

I very well understand your point. Someone like me, that has heavily being into Tech business both home and abroad for 15years, knows that majority of your stated points are false. SD Cards fragile or not durable?! Na those fake roadside own? grin Talking experiencially, I've lost more phones and harddisks to irreversible crashing than SD Cards. Oh Boy! Very rescillient Invention that should not be taken off the Plate. In fact non of my original SD Cards has ever spoiled. Also, uploading to Cloud is a good idea, which I regularly do too. But what happens when you saved all your life in Cloud and got locked out? I've lost a Some vital Accounts for forgtting Password. I believe many of us must have lost access to an email or fb we created before. I once lost a vital Account due to sudden change of IP when I travelled abroad. Also, what happens when you travel to an area without Internet or you don't have enough to buy Data but need access to you vital large files? Truth is the place of SD Card in mobile Tech can never be undermined. Samsung is wisely really cashing in on the modern monopoly. We call on Xiaomi to step in!
my past experience really thought me badly about purchasing road side SD cards. Pls, when m referring to SD cards I don't regard the cheap knockoffs that ravage the tech market, i meant the likes of SanDisk extreme, Toshiba and Samsung pro endurance. I used the Toshiba SD card for less than 7months before it went numb after trying to create swap file using Roehsoft RAM Expander. The SanDisk extreme I used went baserk after I tried changing the file system format to accommodate my Xbox games, it nearly corrupted my system. I lost my Kingston SD card when using it with a card reader, it stopped functioning all of suddent,twas later I found out that the card read was having faulty USB port. My Kodak SD card got toasted when I tried using it to Create windows 10 bootable pen drive. I'm currently using the Samsung pro endurance which is not upto 5months old, well I guess time will tell.
It all boils down to the usage and I doubt the SD card can survive extreme usage and tweaking like the HDD/SSD but what I don't understand is why ure hellbent on getting high capacity SD cards than getting a phone with high capacity storage? At the end won't it serve the same purpose. if u need conveniency, OTG is there.

Thank you my brother. For me, it's even more important cos I move with big files on the go. Very sizable population of the World cannot do without SD Card slot. Cut-throat priced Samsung high end phones that handle up to 1TB Card is the answer. grin But I'm afraid of investing that much and mistakenly breaking the screen. I hope stronger Xiaomi would step in and break Samsung emerging monopoly is this advance SD line.
the more the quantity, the more severity the damage will be. U don't know the pain of losing data worth of 1terabyte that's within the SD card that's why ure saying all these things. Damaged SD card is hardly if not impossible to savage a lost sector, it's always advisable to invest on huge capacity HDD/SSD or if u ve the resource go cloud savings for ur backups ie if ure the storage hungry type. Whenever it comes to mobile phones, seeking for high capacity UFS storage is much more ideal for ur storage needs than the SD cos it's more efficient, fast, reliable and it hardly crashes, if u need mobility, the OTG got u covered. The SD card will not only frustrate u, twill slow down ur activity when it's almost full and at the end twill crash. Then u be like shocked

Good evening house.

Pls i understand that part of the aim of this forum is to ensure the safety of buyers and sellers on the xiaomi thread.

We know that over the years, buyers have been free to use this forum as a means of calling out sellers when they have deals gone awry,.
I hope that sellers too will be given the same courtesy because I have some buyers whom I will soon be calling out for items bought and they have refused to pay despite my best effort.

One of them is particularly very painful given my previous engagements with that person.

I will be making update soon.

You may be right... I have one 19yrs old guy in my area, who by one way or the other get hold of his step father charm book, he's now initiating the young ones, teaching them how to smoke and rape, My people no one there challenge him,because everyone are scared. And Law are something else in this country
you're not far from the truth boss, recent development suggests that the eldest of the three was actually the person that cajoled & threatened those boys to accompany him, they gave in out of fear cos he's well known in the neighborhood to always carry gun. Their punishment will only be a pat on the back whereas the eldest will be arraigned to court next week Monday.

The 24 year old does not deserve pity. It is not about him. It is about the poor girl. He is a rapist and who has also groomed two underage boys. His child will be better off without him. The woman should think about the poor girl.
thanks appreciate

Sorry to hear this.

Before you start talking about the boys and getting justice for her. Let's take care of the girl first. She may have been exposed to HIV given the profile of the boys here. She may also get pregnant. If it's not too late already you need to get the girl to a hospital where she can get Post Exposure Prophylaxis, that way she won't get the virus. But this has to be under 48 hours. You also need to get her the morning after pills to prevent pregnancy. Then, she needs to speak to a counsellor too as fast as possible. The emotional pain is the heaviest for issues like this and you never can tell when it would weigh on her.

After this, let's get the law to help correct the wrong from those boys. Depending on the state this happened, you can get the boys behind bars using the VAPP Act or the state version of it.

Best wishes on this quest. I'm happy to provide help in case you need anything.
thanks for this piece sir

That 14 year old boy that was accomplice to rape that his mother has disowned is someday going to become a cultist or an accomplice to robbery.
That 16 year old that did the same is someday going to willingly join an armed robbery gang.
That 24 year old fool who was the mastermind of the rape is a hazard to the society and also his family. Justice needs to be done so he doesn't subject his wife to more domestic violence(80% possible) or become a negative influence to his children.
If you investigate the situation well, there is a cult binding among the three of them. Let justice be done. If the young boys will be reformed, fine. The way they are, if let out they will become more brazen and say "las las na only police cell, them go lock me".
do u think the underage boys has gone beyond redemption, what if while in prison their cases might worsen since they ve lived most of their lives learning the worst thing life has to offer in prison?

[quote author= post=86832545]While reading this part of the whole ordeal...
We can read between the lines and see that your friend will be in the top 3 of the MOST EMOTIONAL WOMEN IN NIGERIA!
It got to a point we were about joining her to start pitying the wife and newly born of the idiot!

But let's face reality and leave sentiment aside.
RAPE is a very very bad thing,
Most especially when it comes to a minor.
Let the law takes its FULL COURSE on the matter.
That is the best advice we can give you in this situation.
Tell your friend not to allow EMOTIONS to blind her reasoning.

We Rise!


Another good angle to it all......

Well, if we keep forgetting and forgiving social perverts, they will be no decrease in crimes. I advocate justice! Did he consider his wife and little one before the rape? His little one curled to his wife's back will be happy her/his dad was punished for defiling sb.
.
There is a similar case in my street but people seemed to blame the girl more than the rapists. Her legs don't stay at a place, and don't know when the time is late.
.

On a second thought, he could also be forgiven. But will the corrupt police officers consider this as a good one? Absolutely no! They see money in this case!
what i can't seem to grasp is how a newly married man could engage in raping an under age girl with under age boys and my friend being who she is is already thinking it myt be a cult faction activity and wouldn't like a situation where her life would be threatened.

I thought so too but on a second thought it could be a facade bringing the lady and the child to attract sympathy.

Pls Help This Rape Victim

Good day everyone, I really need your contribution and advice concerning this matter.

I'll try as much as possible to be brief on this, pls Pardon my blunders. I've a friend whose 17yr old cousin sister was raped few days ago by 3 guys, fortunately one was caught while the remaining two were at large.

My friend being that she's the only capable pson in in the family took it upon herself to find justice for her little cousin. The case was reported to the area command while the little girl was recuperating in the hospital.

There wasn't much of a tussle before the detained rapist (who's not older than 14yrs) started spewing the identity of his conspirators, but before that something unexpected happened, when the police were at to his house during investigation, they met his mom who broke down in tears as they explained the situation to her, she told the police they can do as they wish to her son that he's very rebellious and dangerously mischievous in nature, that she's tired of hearing complaints about her son,that she has been waiting when the news of her sons demise will get to her, mind u this is a boy 14yrs of age.

The second person (who's not older than 16yrs) and the third (who was the eldest among the two boys was above 24yrs) were later caught consecutively.

The third guy, being the eldest was the pson who initiated the act while the other two teenage conspirators were responsible for luring and holding their victim while she got raped.

Today being Thursday while my friend was at the police station,she discovered that the eldest of the three is married with a child, whose wife also came visiting with their baby at the station.

Considering this recent developments pertaining the culprits and their families, its becoming emotionally challenging and it has taken a huge turn on my friend and she's feeling all emotional and confused at the same time on how best to handle this situation, she even went to the station with food flask for the suspects undecided . I've advised her its best she see this through and get justice for her cousin but m afraid it's not enough and she might end doing something we all might regret later.

Pls moderators help move this to the appropriate section.
