they must have been talking bout a diff netbook, this one has got only one dimm slot. It's still an Atom CPU and intel GMA3150 graphics. 2gb ram MAX (you can put in 4gb but your wasting money) with Single Channel only,

the netbook itself cost about 63k, upgrading it to a 2gbram shouldn't cost more than 3k, u're looking at 66k in total, unles u would like to upgrade the hdd too,

as for the batt life, its superb, just as advertised, as for the solar charging thing, consider this, if u place this netbook facing a regular window, say at home or in the office, u get 1 hr of runtime for 2hrs of just sitting there, haba, thats gotta be damn good value in your book too,

Not bad. . .

The only minus is that it has no CD/DVD drive. One would have to conside getting an external DVD pplayer which of course is added cost.

using the DVD player, for instance, will surely drain the battery life than 50%, irrespective of what the manufacturers claim.

The manufaturers claim Acer timeline will give up to 8hrs battery life.

Experence has shown, however, that the actual figure will be a lot lower than that. Moreover I think its a little too expensive

sad

The question i have is, what about the laws or checks that are supposed to guard aginst corruption from taking place in the first place?

Why is it that such checks seem to be cirumvented with apprarent ease?

How on earth can one one individual steal more than a billion naira and nobody can be brought to book? angryangry

By the miracle of modern technology and the Global Village, I can share this exclusive blow-by-blow account of the Thanksgiving Day turkey shoot that went down in Shagamu, Nigeria on November 24, 2011.  

Eyewitness accounts from the scene of today's carnage describe an operation conducted with clockwork coordination and overwhelming force of military arms.  Interestingly, smoke grenades were deployed at one or more of the bank locations set upon by this large, well-equipped gang.   Under cover of the resultant curtain of dense white smoke from the grenades, demolition explosives were used to remove the entire front walls from each of the three targetted banks, exposing the bank lobbies to the street outside, whereupon technicians moved in and detonated more charges to blow vault doors off.

Along with this first-time use of smoke grenades to obscure the view of bank raids in progress, one or more long-range snipers accompanied the gang on this foray, placing shots from distances estimated at several hundred yards, which killed the driver of an approaching vigilante group vehicle, and shattered the leg of the group leader sitting beside the dead driver, to the utter disbelief of witnesses.   With the available police teams having fled the scene when the first dynamite charges went off, and the bullet-proof magic talismans worn by the vigilante leader so dramatically exposed to be absolutely ineffective, all remaining vigilante men fell back in panic, leaving the field open for the gang to load up a dedicated SUV with heavy bales of cash from the bank vaults.

With the afternoon's agenda concluded to the satisfaction of the invaders, they departed, firing continuously as they slowly drove off in three vehicles - a sedan loaded down with the bulk ammunition supply, a passenger bus to carry the large contingent of gunmen, and the SUV strictly to convey the cash harvest.   Smoke clouds from the grenades reportedly hung in the air for a solid hour after the visitors had taken their leave.  Over twenty civilians were hit by stray shots fired at stampeding crowds by the gang, and of those, an unknown number have died.  Reports that an additional four vigilante men were cut down remain unsubstantiated for now.

Even by Nigerian standards, this was one humdinger of a robbery, to say the least.   The terrorist connection must not be ignored by Nigeria's security agencies, especially in the context of recent terror attacks and similar robberies by fundamentalist types in the north of Nigeria.

I'm truly at a loss for words. . .

mine is working just find. it prolly has to do with your location.

ehem

isn't it time to move this thread to its appropriate section?

Abeg, helep me ask them. . .

Timipre Sylva, you don enter very very big trouble. This new EFCC chair is specifically for you. GEJ is now ready to deal with you very well. Just resign and run to America or any arab country ooo. A word is enough for the wise.

if the new EFCC chiar were to immediately begin attacking TS, don't you think people will see it as a clear case of political witch-hunt, a move that could further tarnish the fast decling profile of GEJ?

most federal and some State hospitals now accept gunshot victims without a police report.

Reddington, being a private hospital were obviously trying to be careful.

The 'Mohammed Yusuf treatment' was what got us into trouble before.

The silly Nigerian police should have waterboarded Yusuf until he named every man, dog, woman, child or goat involved with Boko Haram. Instead they wasted him without extracting any information.

Let them come to Benin to see how police dey torture suspect. When Police slide broomstick into your gbola, you go confess say na you kill Bola Ige  

*winces* ouuuuchhh!!  

@topic,

1.   Is the case of developing and developed countries based on politics and civilization?

I think its based on politics, economic indices, standard of living of its citizens, technological development. . .not sure of the civilization part.

2.   Can a country move from developed to developing?

Definitely. Countries have done it and are still expected to do it (China, India)

4.   Can Nigeria in our own generation be referred as developed country?

there would have to be purposeful, measurable, discernible, positive increase in all spheres of the lives of its citizens. Certainly not our case.

Kofi Annan described a developed country as ""one that allows all its citizens to enjoy a free and healthy life in a safe environment. do you honestly believe that definition applies to Nigeria?

Gross. . .

take to the streets?

NIGERIANS?

I laff in anything laffable.

obvoiuly interesting article, but too long. . .

texazzpete:
ALLEGED Boko Haram sponsor, please. None of the accusations leveled against him have been proven yet. For all you know, this guy in custody could be spreading misinformation.

unbeliavble!!

ibrobell:
Excuse me @ lucenzo who cares if i made a grammatical blunder? [size=15pt]but a public figure like the first lady should be more careful[/size].thats all, don't mean no disrespect at all.

abeg told them!   

It should be the ninth wonder of the world why self aklaimed English Language gurus, littering an otherwise lighthearted take on our amiable First lady with the putrid display of their inteltual arrogance cannot appreciate that simple fact.

She is a public figure; the OP, to all intents, is not.

Sure, we all commit occasional mishaps now and then. But like I said in my previous post, there are errors, and there are errors.

Such egregious grammatikal solecisms are not expected of someone of her status.

And pls, spare me the BS about English langage not being our mother tongue.

Yeah, MR pukkah, embolden the infelicities above in your next post in furtherance of the display of your [i]inteletual [/i]arrogance—you obviously have nothing else to do.
