Dimmah:
Can this phone compete with the likes of Redmi or Infinix in the same range?
I don't know, and can't make comparison since my experience is only with Tecno.

I can't give fair comparison since I've not use Redmi or infinix
Phones › Realme C75x Or Spark 40 Pro+, Which Is Better? by Offpoint1(op): 9:02am On Jul 13, 2025
Hi guys!

I'm considering changing my current phone (Spark 10 Pro) my budget is 300k max. I would have loved to get a Samsung (I'm a fan), but specs of Samsung within that budget is a big no for me.

4 most important thing I gun for in phone.
1. Battery
2. Speed charging (I want my phone to charge from zero to 100% in less than an hour and last me a whole day on heavy use)
3. Storage, follows by performance.

I've gone through the both phone specs and I kinda got discouraged by Realme C75x Chipset (12 nm) rating. Spark 40 is (6nm)
The rating plays a lot of roles in performance and battery efficiency

Spark 10 Pro is the first Tecno product I've used after switching from Samsung. In all fairness, the phone did pretty well and more than expected for such price. I played FC football and COD conveniently if I set Graphics to medium. (it lags after 30 minutes if set graphics to high... So I sticked to medium)


Realme specs looks OK, but Spark 40 is more enticing to me because I've used Tecno product.


I appreciate if it get inputs from the both gadget users.


....................
I might be selling off the Spark 10 Pro if I made up my mind. (I got it last year, so it's still 99% neat and 100% good condition)

SouthSouth1914:
Maybe they were never put ON from
The aircraft’s last flight! This like turning off your fuel switch on generators. But it will start in the next time you put it ON. But will go off after some some seconds because the fuel switch wasn’t turned ON for flow of fuel.

The maintenance crew of that aircraft should be investigated, to get to know the truth. There might be an important person or two in that aircraft who people of interests to other people, there is a conspiracy!

Just my personal opinion.
If they weren't turned on the plane won't fly or move. Once the plane engine is started there will be a warning light and sound, the pilots should have seen that when do final checkup before flight.

It's either it was international or error after take off
Travel › Re: 9 Things Lagos Uber Drivers Will Tell You That Sound Like Jokes But Are Facts by Offpoint1:
I used Uber almost daily, either for trip or delivery. I've never experienced none of the above.

The only conversation I have with an Uber driver is their first confirmation calls and confirmation pick up questions "Are you Mr Offpoint?" "Cash or cashless" and no further conversation after that.

I always sat behind the driver's seat and I made zero eyes contact till I dropped.


Things that has become habitual to me:

1. I always rate my drivers/riders 5 stars.

2. If for whatever reasons I delayed them more than 5 minutes, I always tip them extra plus tons of apologies.

3. I tip them extra cash when there's traffic and the trip took longer than estimated.

4. I tip them if I'm going to locations I'm not familiar with and we had a little hassle locating my destination.

5. If I know the price shown on the app is lower than what it's expected of the distance, I will pay them extra.

6. If I have luggage I always inform them ahead.

If you get to my pick up point and there's unforseen circumstances I decided to cancel the trip, I'll compensate them with 30-50% of the trip cost
I'm not interested in whatever vehicle they are driving, whether with AC or not, as long as it can get to my destination.

I respect genuine hustlers and I treat them with topmost respect.

When I read bad stories about drivers, I have the feelings that 98% of the escalation is always from the passengers and not Uber drivers/riders.
Most of our Nigerian people tend to have this bossy altitude once they're paying you for something.

Arostar2023:
So how come he is free now? How did he receive pardon? Something is not adding up here... suspecting someone of a crime doesn't make the person guilty. You need to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he committed the crime.
If the robbery story is the truth, then it was proven beyond reasonable doubt hence he was sentence.

You can get a state pardon for even crimes you were guilty of.

You guys still do not understand what a crime scene is.
Regardless what it is... A thief who stole a generator not at a gun point or killing the owner, don't deserves a dead sentence.

Dead sentence should be for those who commit murder or rape... The judges were drunk for such punishment

Family › Re: Man Devastated After Discovering Wife’s Affair With Pastor, Questions Paternity by Offpoint1:
Lol, you don't have to be devastated, put yourself together and move on.

Some human first mistake is "believing" or holding some other humans with high moral standards just because they went to theological SCHOOL.

One thing you should know is "PASTOR" is just a "JOB" position like every other work position out there. 99% of them are being paid SALARY on monthly basis.

They're ALL normal human being like you, there's nothing an "average" human being can do that they can't do. No matter the position or years of their JOB experience, don't be deceived...


Let me stop here, but take this home.

Pastors are humans who have mastered the art of pretense and secrecy.

Romance › Re: My Fiancee Tells Her Sister Everything.... by Offpoint1: 8:23pm On Jul 10, 2025
Ozzyk:
I've been dating my woman since 2021. We did introduction recently and already fixed our wedding to next month.

Yesterday, She gave me her phone to fix so I used the opportunity to go through her chats...
So, I went through her chats with her sister only to observe that she discussed almost everything we discussed within ourselves with her sister too unprovoked.

Although I've always known that she and her sister who is happily married also used to be 5&6 but I never knew my fiancee could be spitting everything we talked to her sister just like that....

I went through their chats even though there's no toxic discussion about me between them
But I'm not fine at all with the fact she debates almost everything we talked about with her sister...
This lady Is everything a man could ask for, she's beautiful, hard working very decent and I met her a virgin.

I've not spoken to her about it though I still don't know how best to go about it.

I am very displeased.
Ended a relationship because of this.... If I confide in you it should stay with you, you can't keep taking what I discussed with you to a third party. Worse is the 3rd party influences her decision.

We had minor issues and she took it to her sister, the sister drops voice note full of insults on my WhatsApp. I called her to come over and played the voice note to her, she kneeling, crying and begging that she's sorry her sister took it to far. She didn't send her to do this, she only told her the issues we had.

Ended the relationship that very day... Till date she's still begging for a second chance, I've moved on

Baba abeg you fit help me analyse this channel on YouTube @Godedperson. Where do the guy get his videos. I have searched Pexels and the likes but can't seem to find. Would be glad if you have an idea. I'm in the true crime niche though.
When it comes to stock footages, one doesn't use one platform. In order to interpret/communicate the message an editor has to explore various stock footage websites, both free and premium.

For me I use Istock, artlist, freepik, unsplash and YouTube. (istock and artlist are the best for me, I use premium account)

As for the video @godedperson, it's AI generated probably by Invideo and edited. Most of the footages from what I observe are from movie scenes.

Data of 1k on PC 😂... Let's presume data of 1k, which is going to be daily sub. 1k x 30 =30k (30k on data for a month)... Meaning you're editing 30mins video for 1k 😂 🤣 🤣 are you slave?

A deal that was successful and people are talking about the channel. She trusted her whatsapp more than email for that deal. As far as it was not a scam deal let her be.

Someone used the right channel for Trump inauguration and it was intercepted and traced out of USA.

Her instincts was on whatsapp so she did the right thing. She formally told her board before the physical meetings and signing
Deal via through WhatsApp is even safer than via email. Email can easily be intercepted.

Maintenance season again?
NIMC yesterday, Nairaland the other day, now MTN tonight.
Hope these are all upgrades and not signs that our tech infrastructure is quietly breaking down.

Times have been hard lately.
NIMC has been down for over 3 weeks now in the name of upgrade... This has cost me and many Nigerians a lot of pains and money.

How can a whole country database be down for over 3 weeks? Are we serious as a people?

Like this you can't upgrade your bank account if the only ID card you have is NIN, you can't register a new sim card or resolve any issues that requires NIN.

I bought mtn router for 3 weeks now, I can't use it because mtn needs my NIN to activate it and nimc server has been down since 3 weeks now.

They lied to the media last week that their servers has been fully restored. I reached out to mtn last week and yesterday, they said NIMC server has not been restored.
