Announced not made or released then

Ok. You got it before it was announced? Just asking.

Sagem MC3000 passed from my dad to me currently 25 years in the family

I kept it cause it reminds me of where I am coming from.

How so bro? The phone was announced in 2001 na.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - 2014 (5 years)
Nokia N8 - 2012 (7 years)

Both devices still working fine although I've had to change battery and panel (water spill) of the Samsung. The Nokia, however, has never been unscrewed neither has any part been changed since I got it.
I just trust that brand and that's why I have ordered Nokia X6. I'd finally retire the N8 when the X6 arrives.

Happy new year brother.

Private Life had one of the most Unsettling but yet soothing ending to a movie I have ever seen..One of the best Netflix originals last year.

I really liked it too. No fairytale. Decent movie.

troubleseller:

I watched the movie once but these might clear some of the flaws. No be me direct or write the film but....
1. Why? Because America always has a solution? What did you expect them to do, fly 'silent' planes and kill all the monsters? The number one thing you do when you are in danger is panic and with panic comes noise and with the noise comes the monsters.
2. By figuring out the antidote and sticking to it.
5. How are they going to build the house close to the water without making noise? Aren't you going to carry the materials there?

Thanks for your response.

1. The monsters are basic monsters. No superpowers except super sensitive hearing. The lady killed one with a shotgun, didn't she? America is known to love guns. So, are you saying that because the people panicked, they were all killed and nobody could not shoot them?

2. Which antidote? Keeping quiet?

5. They are supposed to set up tents, not houses. They could pack those tents in their backpacks, couldn't they? At least they showed them moving with backpacks.

@JeromeBlack

Flaws in A Quiet Place.

1. The total number of humans in the movie was not up to seven so we can assume that the monsters wiped almost all the population. We were not shown how the humans were killed by the monsters, we only saw that somehow a family managed to survive. Now, tell me, how can a physical monster (having no supernatural power except its acute sense of hearing) kill everybody and nothing was done to kill them. Are you saying that America has no advanced weapon that can contain and kill these monsters? No one thought to use high pitched sounds to repel them?

2. How did the family survive? If everyone was talking and getting killed, how did they manage to keep a family safe through it all?

3. The deaf girl knew that her hearing aid somehow affected the monsters. She didn't use it when her dad was killed but she remembered it when the monsters invaded their home.

4. The fact that there was barely any dialogue made this movie so boring for me (speaking for myself). I enjoy some Charlie Chaplin silent films like City Lights, etc but A Quiet Place neither passes for a normal film nor a silent one.

5. The father tells his son that the monsters won't hear them if they speak close to loud natural sounds. He knew his wife was pregnant but he couldn't set up a camp or something beside the waterfall for the screams of childbirth.

6. There was a scene where the monster was very close to the woman and she was clearly panting. For a creature with super sensitive hearing, it should have picked up her sounds.

First off, there can be no happy ending. What is to stop the crazies from busting the blind school/orphanage at the end?

Secondly, there is no way in hell you can drive a car in a littered road with only sensors when everyone is blind. The sensors would be overused and useless because it would sense everything around it. The road was littered. With cars, bodies and trash.

Also, the black guy felt like a rapist. Watch the film again and see how he was always asking Sandra bullock jamb questions and staying very close to her (before she gave him green light by allowing him to touch her belly). Pervert. What is sweeting the guy in touch a pregnant woman's belly. A woman he did not impregnate.

Sandra bullock did not lose her pregnancy in the car accident with her sister.

Rowing a boat down a stream or river is difficult with both eyes. Now, I'm to believe it was done while being blindfolded? Lol...and also, hearing is impaired once one enters water.

Then there is the ridiculous monsters that remained mysterious throughout the film. WHICH OTHER MONSTER FILM HAVE YOU SEEN THAT NOTHING ABOUT THE MONSTER WAS REVEALED? WE DIDNT SEE THE MONSTERS. THE ONLY THING WE KNOW IS THAT YOU COMMIT SUICIDE IF YOU SEE THEM AND CRAZY PEOPLE ARE ITS MINIONS.


The worst part of the movie is that it is a copied concept. Copied from the quiet place and a shimalayan movie that I cannot remember.
Book!

OgidiOlu3:


When you said you had a lot to write, I honestly expected some very deep flaws. I respect your opinions nonetheless and I will try to explain some parts to you.

1. About the no-happy-ending. It is a horror film so why would you even expect a happy ending? What makes the film even scarier is the thought that eventually, the remaining people on earth will either be crazy or blind. In fact, humans are gonna evolve and children are probably gonna be born blind in order to survive, or they may even be blinded artificially when they are born. Again, it's horror.

2. I don't have facts to back up your second point and if you do, please share. What I do know is that even self-driving cars use sensors to navigate easily so I wonder why it would be so difficult to drive with only sensors.

3. Seriously? This is a point?! Well, I didn't think the black guy behaved oddly at all and I'm seeing this for the first time on your post. I think he was just caring for a pregnant woman and I don't think there was anything wrong with that.

4. You may be right on this one. Maybe Sandra Bullock should have lost the pregnancy in the accident but then again, I don't think pregnancies are easily lost like that na. It wasn't as if something hit her belly in the accident so this point too may not be that valid.

5. This one is hard to debate and you have made a valid point. I don't have facts but I assume it would be extremely difficult to row blindfolded. Although, I think they were instructed to "follow the currents", no?

6. Yes, this is the one I've been waiting for. You obviously didn't understand the concept of the "monster", did you? The monster takes the form of your deepest fear or your deepest regret such that it drives you into a severe depression that you'd instantly take your own life. It may not have a defined form since everyone's fear and regrets may not be the same. Also, the fact that it does not have a defined form is exactly why it may be impossible to kill. This was also why it was easy to wipe out almost everyone from earth. If you have seen the 2017 movie adaptation of Stephen King's novel "It", you may understand better where they got this "monster" idea.

7. Finally, there's hardly any "original story" anymore. Most of the movies we watch now are recycled. Blue Jasmine was recycled from A Streetcar Named Desire and it received critical acclaim. So many other movies like that.

I am not saying Bird Box was a perfect film, I am only saying that I prefer it to A Quiet Place and I'm gonna write about the flaws of AQP soon.

Thank God my post has been unhidden. I will soon write the flaws in A Quiet Place, JeromeBlack.

JeromeBlack:
My hands are truly itching me to point out flaws in Bird Box......

Please do so that I can point out the numerous flaws in A Quiet Place too.

krattoss:
Lion heart.


First of all, my hand is itching typing this cos I wish I can type all at once.
This movie is my best nollywood movie ever. The only movie that comes close to this is wedding party 1.and this one beats it hands down.

This is my second best movie of 2018 after avengers infinity war.
Phyno killed me with that outro at the end of the movie.

My few worries is that they they featured too many igbo language,am quite worried bout this because my Hausa and Yoruba brothers won't get to get multiple orgasms and vibes as I got. Hope the subtitles are available for ur understandings.

Mehn who said we can't? We have many potentials and future and the capabilities of ruling Africa if not the world, what we have to do is to only dare and believe.

My other few cons are that it was quite predictable, but believe u me many improvements will follow the sequel.
This movie truly showcases our atmosphere, attitude, environment, and culture of Nigeria.
Damn it that I hated this beautiful gem of a Genevieve. And here right now, paradigm shift has fallen on me towards the lady.
Damn it I love this movie and am proud once more of my country and clime.

lionheart,.....9.7/10

If Wedding Party 1 is your second best Nollywood movie ever, I don't think I'm gonna trust your judgement on movie matters. I fear that I may not find Lionheart that interesting as well.

olu4life:

Huh? Dull? Boring? A movie better than Bird Box... I give up

I don't understand you. Please make your points clear.

Bird Box is kinda similar to A Quiet Place. In Bird Box, you must not open your eyes while in A Quiet Place, you must not make a sound.

I really enjoyed Bird Box though and I found it very interesting. A Quiet Place, on the other hand, was really dull and boring. They didn't say much throughout the movie so it almost felt like a silent film.

This is not my first time of complaining about those
"speed test". The truth is y9 is better than x6. I'm not saying that because I'm being biased,
I didn't even watch the video instead I just went through it so i don't even know which phone won the "speed test" .I'm just pointing out an important fact that those "speed test" are flawed and depending on them to determine which phone is faster is not a very good thing to do.

We are back to the initial question. How is Y9 better than X6?

ddjay:
and i will start by blaming nairalanders,you people refused to support this company, instead its tecno and co.this company dud their best but due to lack of support from you people, bankruptcy is the case. i suggest you people spread your support and don't narrow it down to one brand. its not fair honestly

Na Nairalanders make the chairman go use millions play baba ijebu?

talut:
The fact that everyone does that doesn't make it correct.
If you agree I don't think posting that video was the right thing to do since basically the method is flawed. At the end of the day benchmarks is the closest way of comparing SoCs

I'm sure you wouldn't have seen anything wrong with the video if the Y9 had beaten the X6 in the "speed test" flawlessly. In the end, what matters is the practical use of a phone and not the benchmark scores.

talut:
I got to tell you. That is not in anyway a comprehensive speed test.its not even a speed test .the processor has not really been tested. The only thing basically tested was ram management.

I agree but that's the way speed tests are done now. Before, they used to be solely dependent on benchmark scores. Search speed tests for any two phones on Youtube and you'll see that what you get will be similar to the video I posted.

flexerking:
sorry i forgot to mention pros y9 has a bigger screen less bezels. nokia has 3000 mah y9 has 4000mah.nokia has snapdragon 636 y9 has kirin 710 which is way better.


terms of camera y9 should also be better the only advantage x6 has is android one program. in terms of design battery performance it lose (or isit the nokia glass back and nokia logo u wanna buy ) ?

The only advantage the Y9 has over the X6 is the battery. It's obvious you're a Y9 user so I don't blame your sentimental opinions. I don't use any of the phones but I prefer the X6. You said the Y9's design is better than the X6's? Ha! How do you choose mere plastic over a phone with Aluminium frame + glass back + dual led flash + Corning Gorilla glass 3 + FM radio + USB C + Android One (for nternational market) + 432 ppi density?

You said the Kirin 710 is way better than the Snapdragon 636. That may be true on paper but practically, they are about the same. Check out this speed test comparison on both.

flexerking:
huawei y9 2019 of course

Why did you say so? Have you checked the reviews for the Nokia?

Huawei Y9 (2019) or Nokia X6 aka Nokia 6.1 Plus

skyhighweb:
any one selling? rp

It's on Jumia na.

After Dark Knight, Avengers Infinity War is my best superhero movie. I just love Thanos.

I sent this to someone so I'll like to share these tips with everyone writing Ielts today or later.


For Ielts, I used mainly https://ieltsonlinetests.com and http://ieltsliz.com. I also saw some youtube videos for Speaking. Ieltsonlinetests is a good site to practise both Listening and Reading. The questions are somewhat more difficult than the actual exam but it will help you prepare well for the exam.
When I was preparing, I did about 1 hr per day practising. Some days, I skipped but I tried to cover a lot in the week before the exam especially Writing.

Ieltsliz is a great source for tips on the whole Ielts exam and it will help with Writing too. I never wrote any practise essay before the exam. I only read different essay model answers on Ieltsliz before the exam. If you can, write practise essays and have someone score your performance. There are paid services for this online, even on ieltsonlinetests.

Some tips:
1. Use pencil throughout even in Writing so that it will be easy to erase should you make a mistake.
2. Write your Listening and Reading answers in capital letters so that it will be legible for the examiner.
3. In Writing, always start with Task 2. Task 2 carries twice the marks of Task 1 but most people waste a lot of time doing Task 1 first. Task 1 is letter writing and it should not be less than 150 words while Task 2 is essay and should not be less than 250 words.

From the bottom of my heart, I wish you all the best.

WAEC does not sell their result checker scratch cards, so buy from educational vendors near you and post to WES.
Remember to indicate your reference number on every card if you are sending multiple unscratched waec scratch cards.

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to Yaba anyway so I can get the cards from the vendors beside WAEC building.

Merci.

I will be going to WAEC office later today or tomorrow so if anyone is interested in buying the scratch cards and sending to WES, please contact me. There's also a DHL office in my office building and the last time I sent some docs through them to Canada, I paid N18,500 and it got there in 4 days. It makes no sense sending one scratch card for that amount so let's split the bills.

Dee00:
Please, who wants to send WAEC scratch card to WES. I need someone who does to help out, maybe we can split the money.

Thanks

Me ooo. I will send you a message now. If we can get more people, it would be nice.

Hephgirl:
wow... Congratulations...
U didn't miss a question in reading

Thanks dear. I guess that's what it means.

Ifeoma77:

WAEC verification is to send WES a WAEC (unscratched) scratch card via courier

Thanks, Ifeoma. I have already sent the verification letter I got from Waec. On WES' portal, it shows that they have received the document but they await verification. I thought this meant someone from Waec will have to verify the validity of the letter. Are you saying I will still send them just Waec result checker scratch card with my reference number?

Hi all, I have been following for some time now. My ECA is still pending with my Uni and Waec so I intend to go and sort it next week. I wrote the Ielts on Nov 10 for the first time and my result was:

Listening 8
Reading 9
Writing 7
Speaking 8

WES has gotten my transcript, school certificate and Waec certificate but they need verification. I will go and sort the verification with my school but I don't know the process for Waec. If you have info on how to go about it, kindly share.
We must all go this Canada by God's Grace
