Usless telecommunication provider. MTN like its contemporaries - Glo, Airtel and 9mobile, provide the poorest of the poorest services while relentlessly exploiting its subscribers.

The NCC which has as its main responsibility to protect Nigerians from exploitation is as useless as the alphabet ‘p’ in the word ‘psychology’.

Nigerians know this but still continue to use the network providers while not making any effort to call on the NCC to perform its duties and when u ask them why they continue to behave his way, they give you replies such as “wetin person go do na?!”

Well what do you expect from a people who are so dumb to the point that they came out enmass to vote for the two worst candidates on the ballot sheet (who blantantly refused to participate in televised debates on burning issues with regards the nation’s present and future) while deriding other outstanding candidates with better policies and proposals on how to make their lives better.

A people so corrupt, greedy and self-centered that almost every office you visit, public and private, workers would be asking you to “drop something” or to “wet ground”....even also immigration officers at airports.

To add to that Nigerians are cowards and they would always tell you “na who wan die”.

Go look at Sudan and Algeria, and how the ordinary people are braving even death to take back their lives and futures from those who have stolen it for decades.

That is the kind of people I want to be associated with, not the cowards who call themselves ‘Nigerians’ while beating chest up and down about irrelevant tribal and religious issues

The government is not the problem, the citizens from whom the government officials were selected are the ones responsible for the total rot of the nation. A nation without a present or a future.

And almost every single citizen wants to leave the country at all cost for ‘greener pastures’, hence they keep embarassing themselves at home and abroad.

Useless citizens of a dead nation!

Hmm!

Not fair ..the poor lady will be bombarded with calls now

Please modify your quote too.

Pls who knows about this cuz am about to do this right now

That is a way of resetting your battery kinda, useful if it's having issues.
But in my humble opinion, why fix it if it's not broken?

Gptech:

Tonto Dikeh, Your toto needs a good dick eh... Try to get one and forget about Churchill.

Hmm. What an ogogorofreakish way of dissect the poor girl's name.
You just had to let it all out!

olayinkajnr:
I used to use this method but I discovered that it will charge you in dollars directly which is very expensive when your bank charges you.

But with 9pay, a 500naira app will go for 530naira (30naira is VAT).

With ALAT BY WEMA, a 500naira App will go for 500naira.

With GT Master Card an 8dollars app is supposed to go for 2,800naira or less self but you'll be charged 3,200naira.

I know this coz I used to use it.

Interesting. GT no go kill person!

Tried using a Launcher for the first time based on recommendations here. Fair to say I was lost, had to quickly revert to default launcher sharp sharp.

How were you lost?

StylesX:
I want to buy redmi 7 from AliExpress but I'm so scared about not getting my phone, I don't like stories, this would be my first xaomi, and my first AliExpress order, I have a post office close to me, and my address is correct but I'm still scared, I was told to use a shipper called nobody if I can't see it through myself, but nobody? If he misbehave I'd be looking for nobody.

With this fear of yours, what say you about fact that overwhelming majority of same Xiaomi users here bought and received theirs via that means, AliExpress?

Acidosis:
I'm not convincing anyone to leave TBills, just stating the obvious that it is very possible to get good returns from a financial institution, as I'm a witness.

BTW, you'd notice I didn't mention the name so I'm not trying to attract customers. But contrary to what you think, it is a group of companies (plc) based in Marina, and among the companies under the group is an investment bank and a MFB (licensed by CBN). Note: the MFB is not the regular road side MFB, this one is fully digitized, with ATM, internet banking, you can receive and transfer payments through any internet banking platform.

While I understand your view, you would agree with me that your notion is very wrong in the sense it encourages the radical extortions in the banking industry. If Buhari and his dying economy can you give you 14% on TBs, there is no reason to settle for 3-4% from FirstBank.

Don't misunderstand my intention o. I have nothing against TBills, it is the reason I'm on this thread.

Bro, please can you explain further how to get the good returns from a financial institution.

You can't compare xiaomi power bank and ramoss. I'm not speaking as a seller. I was using ramoss power bank before I started even selling xiaomi power banks. I dashed out my ramoss power bank when I discovered that the xiaomi pb out performs the ramoss.

I did a comprehensive test between the two of them and posted the result here.

You cannot compare lithium polymer and lithium ion.
The xiaomi power bank is lithium polymer, light weight, equipped with QC 3.0 both input and output.

Well done bro.

BabaOwen:
I'm sorry I don't really know the exact prices. But I think the Note7 pro cost about 76k, the 3GB version is 50something thousand while there is another one of 60something

Seems like you're confusing Redmi Note 7 Pro with Redmi Note 7. Both are two different phones.

zainkay:
is this not the same guy comparing infinx s4 with RN7, it's funny how their hate for Xaiomi vanishes so fast

https://www.nairaland.com/5155308/please-infinix-s4-xiaomi-redmi

My Biznus is no longer the same guy.
Can't you see he's now repented and his sins washed away?

Nice one.

olomne:
Good morning everyone in the house. I have been following this tread for a while and I can say I am pleased with all the review and nice comment about this phone rn7. And I have finally decided to get one for myself. I need someone to link me up with ifedith. I will be glad if I can get mine latest next week. Thanks in advance XIAOMI family

See how your moniker spoke on your behalf

Why Crack me up this late night? People sleeping, are waking to ask why the loud laughter!
Ever thought about the joy of madness?

Fadedvoices2:
Xiaomi(whatever it is called) phones comes with lots of stress tufiakwa .. patches everyday .. update this and that

Isn’t better if you spend that money on either iPhone or Samsung ?

Or better still "good" old tecno.

biznus:
I'm back. interesting responses. Though disappointing. I don't just talk,I demonstrate. probably why they bethink me a paid inifinix seller. For the record, I'm a Samsung fan. But at a time after seeing what budget phones are offering for lesser cost, I became not only disappointed but angry. So I switched to budget phones and my first budget phone was inifinix note 5.

I'm considering buying a new phone for a lady. I was pleased with the specs of infinix S4. And then I saw the thread on xiaomi. That was my first time hearing xiaomi despite checking all outlets for choice phones. I was amazed at the recommendation on here nairaland. I became really interested in RN7... So I decided to check it out.

First I checked our usual Nigerian phone YouTubers: Eric, Fisayo and Misstechy but... nada; there's no review on xiaomi except for Misstechy's archive where she had one... but she said the phone is great but "IT IS NON OF MY BUSINESS" because it is not officially here in naija. Then I understood what the ish was. So I had to check out Indian YouTubers. That was when I saw the review I posted here.

1) A YouTuber also from gsmareana showed how its durability was demonstrated on YouTube by xiaomi guys using the RN7 screen to crack wall nuts. . but the phone reviewer in his own words said: "NOT SURE HOW THAT TRANSLATES TO REAL LIFE THOUGH". Yeah the funny thing is that no nairalander can demonstrate that durability live can they? Use your Rn7 screen to crack a walnut. No Indian YouTuber doing the unboxing review tried it. Hummm...

2) Personally I don't like the interface. The icons looking so somehow to me tbh. They need to up their game on that. Leaving Samsung ivex small for infinix interface but they are better in comparison with Xiaomi Rn7.
She won't be proud to flaunt that kain interface na. If you talk they will say snapdragon this durability that. She ain't a gamer. ladies love movies and pics. plus I attached a screen shot of a lady asking how she can get Rn7 screen already fa. So?

3) The sim tray. For what na. you know ladies like media: pics, movies... so if they are to put sd card then just one sim? why na?

4) I also had to check the dedicated xiaomi thread, I observed it is filled with xiaomi sellers. To get xiaomi now you have to patronise individuals. I wondered if that was the reason for the hype and plenty recommendations on Nairaland? I read a comment where one bought a fake. Very risky. I don't know how to function that way. patronizing individuals. All these discouraged me amongst other reasons. PDP won elections on Nairaland but how did that translate to real life?

Therefore, for me it is not enough that xiaomi has "launched in naija" they have to be well settled like other budget brands. So they're that good and they had to wait until now? Haba...

Finally, there's nothing as good as a healthy competition. It will help my pocket last last by forcing prices down.

So I demonstrated my reason for opting for Xs4 currently: availability accessibility clean sleek glossy etc Anyone who is to counter my demonstration must do so with convincing demonstration not ranting. Talking about people losing jobs is hilarious because it clearly betrays you as a xiaomi pre seller.

Happy to quote this your long epistle.
Really sweets my Belle.

Please hurry, go
and buy your beloved Infinix. Look no further, it must be the "better" the vice.
Make your self happy my dear

henry007:
yes there's an option to hide the notch with the new update. It's the black bar that looks annoying to me tho

Nope!... that looks annoying to everybody except the phone manufacturers themselves.

Sellfish:


Regard this news at your own peril

If your loved ones get kidnapped, just jejely pay the ransom

These days there is very little difference between killer/kidnapper herdsman, Police and the Army.... I view all of them with equal suspicion

You will be shocked that the kidnapper at night is a Policeman by day

I repeat...Do not allow Nigerian Police learn work with your kidnapped loved ones...

The Police will mess up the rescue operation, get the victim killed, then turn around and arrest you for murder in order to mask their incompetence

I fear for the truth that you just spoke.

asuustrike1:
Don't worry we will push xiaomi out of the market same way we Gionee crashed.

Okay my dear. Will be pleasure.
Pray your hands don't break while pushing.
Happy pushing my dear.

Juliette05:
gionee?

You can choose in this order, from best to worst:

Xiaomi

Gionee

Tecno
Infinix

asuustrike1:
Tecno and infinix are good products stop demarketing them to promote your brand

To say that Satan is evil is no crime, nor demonization my dear.
It is what is, it is not demarketing.

It is painful to see someone needing guidance being led astray.
Not after many of us have experienced with those useful devices please.


While the tempo for Xiaomi phones continue, you can get busy struggling to explain Tecno should not be left in the dustbin of history (like good old, once popular BB).

Sorry it hurts you, I wish I could help.

rust6:
Please anyone knows of any Dhl operative who I can call the mi9 I ordered for someone is in the hands of custom operative who are demanding me to pay a fee of 29000 after I paid a dhl shipping fee of 10000 pls guys in the house I need advice

Sorry for the trouble.
How were you able to confirm it's not fake custom.

Cc Godvilla.

BoboKush:
Sheyb na gorilla 5 na and the video they show online e no dey break

Story. Everything get him limit. Abi you no watch the one wey the thing later break under enough pressure?

ddjay:
tecno and infinix don't want to enter the western market where quality is a standard, but they prefare a continent where rubbish is normal

Omo you dey really vex o. Why bother even preaching this gospel, leave the foolish ones to keep fooling themselves. Xiaomi that would spoil you with good quality and specs at cheap price, isn't that the point what Xiaomi is all about. This is happening when tecno Transission group keeps offering next-to-nothing phones at exorbitant prices.
In this new dispensation that Xiaomi has stepped in, only time will tell.

madgoat:
Stop spewing nonsense just because you make your money easily from fraud and can throw it around because you never worked for it. How many Nigerians can bring out 40K or 50K just for a useless xiaomi fone even if its of the highest quality. Thank God for itel, infinix and tecno making smart fones that are affordable even if not top notch quality like Samsung and xiaomi. At least people still get to use fones.

Hmm! Look at this mad goat o!

genius43:
Technology has moved away from that type of notch, you have to get used to it. We are now in the water drop/V/U/dew drop notch and cutout camera era. So you move with the tide

Sadly true, even when the tide is against you and doesn't make sense.
Sadly true, does one have a choice?

kakameks:
good day all,

where can I fix a water damaged redmi note 5?

I have tried drying it overnight with the back case off, tried it this morning and it is noting coming on. Also when plugged in to charge no sign.

any reliable redmi phone repaired in benin?

Best thing was to switch it off immediately, initiate steps to have it dry up completely for a couple of days, before making any attempt to on or even charge it. Even at that it can still fail to work.

It appears you switched it back on too early.

Itzneowizy:
Lol...don't get me wrong...i wanted to go for this brand really..believe me... I almost contacted a seller on this forum...a lot of persons on this forum use the brand no doubt...hell there's even a thread for it......BUT i considered a lot of things

(1) Buying the fone long before now was stressful enough even if u contacted a seller you'd have to wait for days....that's not a problem now since they are in Nigeria
(2) i know am very careful with my fone...but i could give it to someone now and boom!!!....lot of things could go wrong...Screen, touch pad etc....it happened in my Friend's case..someone else wrecked the guys phone..
In that scenario...being that i stay in Delta...bro i can't travel all the way to Lagos cuz i want to repair my phone...or start making orders from overseas...too stressfull and ish....I might even be careless once in a while....the phone's is rugged not indestructible

It'll take lot of time for me Xiaomi to get it's outlets and branches nationwide a whole lot longer for local phone repairers to get a hold of their parts and accessories....see? Unlike infinix...i want repairs..it's readily available....
That's why i said it's (xiaomi) upcoming.... Believe me alot of Nigerians and phone repairers need time to accept and recognize this Epihany of xiaomi phones

.... I hear you!

MeshachMARTINS:
it depends on how the user's usage tho.....but like they will say, calcare is there for you,and parts are readily available .....
...
...
But to me,its redmi7 I will go for

Meshach, you ehn!
