etrange:Exactly. I’m keenly interested in the reason behind his sudden u-turn from the agreement he had with them which took him to the UK in the first place. Was he thinking he was invited there to babysit the sick girl? Why are we Nigerians like this? I was at a new location in the East sometime last year and a guy offered to help me with direction to where I was going but the Nigerian instinct in me told me he was up to something bad because I didnt believe a Nigerian could help you without a catch That’s how bad we’re having it now here in Nigeria. To trust ppl now na big deal. What brought about the U-turn? Disclaimer: I’m definitely not picking sides with anyone but basing my judgement on what we’ve been hearing so far as well as the court’s rejection of the boy’s minor claim. |

juman:By the time the heat becomes too much to bear, he’ll tender his resignation from the post. We’re watching keenly ![]() |
Quest7777:Definitely death. Resignation is alien to African politics. |

tecnolad:Impressive |
Auskyd:You’re right sha. Kudos to the man behind apple’s marketing team. They make it clear that their products are not for everyone yet they’re raking in millions in profits and market shares annually. Oppo thought this marketing ideology would also work for them by slapping huge price tags on their plastics forgetting that unlike them, apple makes sure that their products are always worth the hype (the build quality). Nobody likes spending money on ‘expensive shits . So it’s not by being ridiculously expensive. Apple now enjoys worldwide cult-like ‘mumu’ fanbase that even if apple fuckup, they (the die-hard fans) still find a way to defend them e.g removal of charger brick and apple’s lack of innovation nowadays) Can these said fans be tagged as being ‘mumu’ or apple is just doing something right ? If it’s the later, then the mumuness is justifiable. We all want good value for money and I think they’re doing relatively well in that regard.Imagine a 2015 phone still in circulation and still in active competition with relatively newer phones. That’s prestige. iPhone 7+ of sept 2016 ( 7 years ago) still selling for 90k naira. No be juju be that Apple’s juju man in charge of this brilliant marketing strategy should be arrested and investigated. |
OEPHIUS:Commendable |
ken6488:Bless you comrade. This is what we’ve been explaining to these kids |
Fearyourcreator:You got it bro. Nicely said. It’s only those with poor-man mentality that brag and show off because they own a piece of plastic and glass (I praise apple too and that shouldn’t be mistaken for show off) and I think the show off is just a Nigerian or perhaps, African thing and it’s very understandable (low purchasing power). The aesthetics, the ecosystem as well as the tight security made possible by the exclusivity of the IOS make apple the best phone maker in my own book. It’s only natural that ppl tend to admire and opt for anything that seems not open to everyone (something we used to admire about BB phones then). Most android OEMs and their reviewers also follow this ugly trend of trying to measure up to apple standards by always comparing themselves to iPhones making it look like the iPhones are the standard yardstick (maybe it’s true). All I know is that if everyone starts using you as a yardstick for measuring progress, then you’re doing well and better than them. |
Fearyourcreator:Honestly bro. All these nameless OEMs will start making phones for the iOS tarnishing apple’s image as a result. Apple will never try that gamble. Android as an OS is really fascinating; it even has the capability of emulating various other systems such as iOS, windows and even consoles such as the Xbox, psp and others but the public perception of the android OS has been rubbished by these OEMs churning out loads of poor quality phones here in Africa especially just for the profit. |
kingtinnie:No boss. There was actually a buildup to that statement but you got it out of context. You wouldn’t be happy if I told you that I had a 350k gaming computer for sale and I promised that it would do all your tasks effortlessly without no hassles but after paying me, you later got to realize that you would be needing an additional 435k naira graphics card for that 350k system to be able to get it to do what you needed it for (let’s say autocad or 3D rendering). Now, what would your reaction be to me? It means I gave you a misleading info in a bid to trick you to you buy from me. In a nutshell, it is not the Pc that has the 435k addendum card out-of-the-box but the accessory is to be bought separately and fixed. It is like saying that Redmi note 11 pro has the best midrange camera output because it can install gcam. I hope my analogy makes a little sense? |
Evolutionlove:No vex boss. I know it’s annoying but there are times you just wouldn’t like to tolerate some foolish people’s attitude. If you let it slide, they will do it to someone else. If you’ve been following the thread, you would notice that this particular guy had been shutting ppl with different opinions up and taking things way too personal. Vayulence is the key bro and some people get am plenty ![]() I particularly strayed into and followed this thread for nothing other than the violence signal that I got that day ![]() Sincere apologies for being childish and for disturbing the public peace of this fine thread ![]() |
Auskyd:No boss. iPhones don’t use Amoled screens. They use Oled. The 13proMax uses xdr Oled which is a little inferior to the Super Amoled found in Sammy |
tecnolad:One bottle of chilled action bitters for you comrade. You just summarized everything here and @bolded, why should I spend close to or over a million naira (considering custom duties and mind you 13 promax was sold for 1.5m last year Nov) on a phone that will lose about half (if not more) of it market value in a year. There is definitely a solid reason behind androids’ drastic price falls. Nobody is saying you’re poor for not owning an iPhone and in fact, iPhones are for broke guys because it even helps me to save more money than if I am to be using an android. That is why someone using Xsmax doesn’t necessarily needs to upgrade to 11. In fact, upgrading to 11 or 11 pro is a downgrade to your Xsmax. So apple doesn’t make you see your phone of last year as being outdated just because another one is released this year. I can remember Tim Cook saying that the Xsmax was not released for the X users to upgrade but was released for the older iPhone users to drop their old devices (5s,6s, 6plus, 6s plus and 7) Meaning that your X was not relegated because they released Xr, Xmas and Xsmax. Same can’t be said about androids. The android phone you buy today would be outdated in 6 months time with over 100 elder brothers ![]() That’s why you would notice that iPhone users seldom upgrade. People are still using their 2017 iPhone 10 happily because it’s still getting the job done. So na rich man dey use android contrary to the popular mindset |
tecnolad:Una just too crase for this street ![]() Violence everywhere |
Auskyd:Probably but apple too might switch from Oled to Amoled soon Maybe it’s because I’m not really a fan of phone gaming |
maasoap:I think say na only me confuse. More like saying a guy is not dangerous if not for his big, well-built chest and biceps ![]() |
Nazgul:Why should anyone take you seriously when you just said “Hitler and his tiny army” ![]() Tiny army that waged the bloodiest war in the history of Europe and one of the deadliest wars in human history. He and that tiny army waged a war against the whole world. Now back to your invasion of Russia claim (it was Soviet Union actually and not the present day Russia and the war is known as Barbarossa) What was the objective of the war and did the Germans achieve their aim? The answer is no, so Barbarossa was a failed occupation and as such, stop making it look like they succeeded. Also those Nukes you mentioned are enough reasons to be feared. The USA wouldn’t have ended the ww11 without the deployment of nukes I.e the ones used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Did you know that the USA is the first and only country in human history to use/test run a nuke on his adversaries? Yet that same USA are now the saints. |
WriterNig:But nairaland’s resident war analysts will tell you otherwise ![]() |
Auskyd:Now I understand you. Sammy won your heart. I will like to try a Samsung too very soon. I’ve been hooked on xiaomi (not even the flagships o ) and iPhones. I still so much admire the Amoled technology on samsung devices and the S-pen which I had a feel of on someone’s note 5 some years back. The haptic feedback you get when you draw out the pen is just too cool but apple is a type of opium. You once you get hooked, you’re a goner my brother but apple’s lack of improvement and innovation this days is becoming annoying. I can bet my two balls that there will be just a slight difference between the 13promax and the yet-to-be-released 14 promax |
Auskyd:You no be better pesin ![]() Coman make heaven make I see |
Auskyd:You are right and I like Samsung too (particularly the note series because of the screen and s-pen) and xiaomi too but Samsung devices are way too fragile for my liking and I would love it if they can try to operate on their own OS to make the ecosystem experience unique.It all boils down to taste and preference. I also don’t like the hype around apple devices but in most cases, apple devices are not being overhyped. People need to understand that there are a lot of android phones more expensive than the iPhones. |
Auskyd:Okay bros, I heard you. The pic below summarizes what those guys have been trying to say. It is not just easy to let go once you have a taste. ![]()

eallstar:You are right my guy. Na pesin wey chop bellefull dey follow una argue but maybe you should try reading my previous comments again so you can get the point I was obviously not doing android-iPhone superiority contest with you ![]() |
eallstar:This is just a misunderstanding. What they are basically telling you is that apple devices are not the most expensive gadgets in the industry and I still don’t understand why you guys still think that anyone talking about what he loves about apple is definitely an apple fanboy. I use both android and some apple gadgets and the guy is actually right about apple devices integration and continuity (they enhance productivity) Not everyone talking about how good apple devices are is actually boasting/bragging. Owning an iPhone doesn’t mean you’re rich. Apple ecosystem and optimization of app (apps look different and more fine-tuned on iPhones than on most android) I will start respecting my Xiaomi and Samsung the day they both start rolling out phones running on their own respective and unique operating system other than the android OS. OS they tailor-make to work seamlessly with their devices just like the beloved old Nokia and Blackberry. You hardly see a laggy iPhone regardless of age; even the 2015 6s no dey lag when it comes to day-to-day use. No one is saying you’re poor for not using an iPhone. |

ReactExpress: ![]() Okay I’ll send you a clearer picture so you can have a better view and to help your curiosity since you’ve been blind from birth. ![]() So all that your broke brain could think of was that it’s borrowed. Nah..speak for yourself ode. Everyone can’t be like your wretched family members who always borrow to flex. I intentionally took the pictures of the two of them together because I was expecting that as the typical fool that you are, you might say that I sold my 4 to get the 5. With this reasoning, I now understand who you are and the exact class you belong to. Sending you proofs is the height of pettiness on my own side but I don’t mind wasting my time on trying to purge your life of this gross stupidity you inherited from your grandfather just before you pass it on to your kids. I’ve been wasting my time engaging a subhuman. See thinking o I’m ignoring you until I find another reason to respond All this stubborn head won’t do you any good, beg, I might be able to help you ![]() |
ReactExpress:Pain?? Well you’re right. E pain me sotey I vex go buy my own ![]() I intentionally ignored your sorry life. Normally I shouldn’t be doing this but silence is not always the best answer for a fool. Well I got the delivery of that same ps5 console that has been ‘totoriing’ you like you have made it in life unto say you buy ps5. I’m only replying you just to let you know that not everyone is as broke as your wretched father who wasted all his fruitful days on booze and women and as a result, can’t afford what he wants and couldn’t afford to give you a good life and that makes you think owing a ps5 is luxury. I’m not saying this to brag or rub it on the faces of hardworking youth here, I just didn’t feel any need to buy it since my 4 was still serving me well but considering the overall performance, aesthetics and graphics, it’s indeed, a good buy and thanks for the enlightenment. Ode, begging is allowed anyway. Werey go buy fifth-hand ps5 con dey celebrate. The silly dork even said I can’t afford the pads; pauper mentality. So both my old and new babies are here and doing fine so I don’t see no reason to overkill my mac with heavy games. You’ve been ignored again till I feel like dragging your wretched ass again. ![]() |
1stGenAmerican:Thanks for the compliments dear. I just love it when people judge cases objectively without bias and prejudice |
NairaMaster1:I just touched a nerve ![]() |
