Please let him know, though he cannot do anything better, nobody can take the one chance from him. We already know that he is better as a presidential candidate than being the president |
Politics / Dele Momodu Writes Buhari, Says Nigerians Are Lamenting by Okimski(m): 9:22pm On Nov 28, 2015 |
Dele Momodu writes a memo to President Muhammadu Buhari asking him to as a matter of urgency fix Nigeria saying that Nigerians are lamenting that the change he promised is fast becoming a mirage and that Buhari’s style and methodology appear too slow. He also went further to say that many mostly the oppotions want the government to fail saying that they were ‘skillfully setting the president up for failure in order to be able to taunt his supporters.’ Read the full memo bellow . By Dele Momodu Your Excellency, it’s been months since I wrote my desperate memo to you. I wish to thank you once more for reacting promptly and swiftly at that time and for giving me the honour and privilege of meeting you in your office. I remember presenting you a special compilation of my articles, especially the many admonitions to your immediate predecessor, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. After handing over the book to you, Sir, I promised to continue acting in my self-appointed capacity as Special Adviser because of the need to tell you what those very close to you might not be able to say. They might be afraid of you and your reaction. The truth is you are a plain and simple man imbued with a mission and a passion to save this great country but you cannot do it on your own. You can only do it if people close to you, who should be advising you, tell you as it is so that you can do that which you were elected to do. Sir, it is on the above basis that I’m back today for reasons some of which you probably know already from your own personal observations and readings. But before I go further, kindly permit me to set some records straight before some conspiracy specialists step forward to ascribe other people’s opinion to me. I shall clearly expose my personal views and state where I belong or stand for any avoidance of doubt. Everywhere I go people refer to me as Buhari’s man and ask “what’s your Baba doing ooo?”. I seriously have no problem with that. I’m proud that I joined so many other Nigerians as well as foreign friends in supporting a man of impeccable pedigree and solid integrity. No matter your view of President Muhammadu Buhari, one thing his bitterest enemies give to him is the fact that he is way above the level of most mortals in matters of uprightness. This is why many of us volunteered to scream your name to high heavens and we were ready to follow you to Golgotha. Many of your opponents have not gotten over the thrashing you gave them and would forever seek everything and anything to smear you with. It is therefore not surprising that there has been so much noise about what you’ve done or left undone. Whether they are right or wrong in their assessment, I feel it is right and proper to let you know what people are saying about you including your most ardent fans and supporters. Sir, please, let’s not dismiss them as mere rabble-rousers. A groundswell of public opinion can easily metamorphose into an ocean of disenchantment and cataclysmic confusion. In short, I believe your enemies are skilfully setting you up for failure in order to be able to taunt your supporters later by saying we “we told you so!” In this regard it is pertinent to always bear in mind the Yoruba saying ‘ehin kunle l’ota wa, ile ni a se ni ngbe’! Loosely translated it means “the enemy lurk outside in the backyard but your foe resides inside your house.” What is the matter this time? Many Nigerians are lamenting that the change you promised them is fast becoming a mirage. It is certainly not what they are seeing right now. They insist that your style and methodology appear too slow for a nation in dire straits and in need of urgent and miraculous deliverance. They are not happy that you are no longer the prudent man they used to know. They think you’ve already capitulated by frolicking with members of the bourgeois class and junketing around the world while Nigeria burns like Dante’s inferno. They are miffed that you are still keeping the Presidential fleet when you are supposed to have sold most of them off, if not all. They are worried that the mandate of four years they gave you is being unwittingly frittered away and before you know it all the goodwill you garnered would have evaporated and vamoosed. Time, they say, waits for no man! The economy and the free fall of the Naira have become worrisome. There are all manner of rumours that may make matters worse, if true, about the current state and status of our banks. Though the Central Bank of Nigeria has come out forcefully to dispel the dangerous rumours, they want you to unleash your economic master-plan as soon as possible, so that what was once a baseless rumour does not somehow become harsh reality. They are expecting a blue-print that would guarantee a farewell to poverty. On this I agree with the opinion that something drastic has to be conjured up to arrest this drift to perdition. Nothing amplifies this monumental tragedy than the debit card fiasco which stipulates that Nigerians cannot live in a civilised world by walking into any international hotel or shop of their choice and paying with their cards. This is terribly depressing. What this means in plain terms is that Nigerians must patronise the black market and run the risk of carrying cash recklessly whenever they travel abroad. It makes a mockery of the cashless society that the CBN has fought so hard to put in place and jeopardises your fight against corruption because government officials who travel abroad must of necessity carry large sums of cash if they are not to be embarrassed or even disgraced. Sir, the most important thing is that this is not healthy at all. The last thing your Government should be telling the world is that we are so broke that we are on our knees. The world laughs at us and treats us with derision because we have resources other than crude oil which should make us one of the richest in the world if we properly harness them. We must stop giving the impression that we are so impoverished when it is leadership, brigandage and a lack of focus that has failed us. The other matter that continues to embarrass Nigerians is the issue of Boko Haram. The matter is made worse by the fact that you are a retired army General who should know and have what it takes to drastically reduce if not exterminate the cankerworm. But rather the menace has exacerbated. It has snowballed into a seemingly unquenchable conflagration. I had argued repeatedly that the military alone cannot achieve this result. Intelligence seems to be the key word here. Also identifying and locating some of the cells and prominent sympathisers is crucial. Those who arrogantly and naively say that no form of negotiation should take place are very far from the theatre of war. They have probably not heard of a group called IRA, the Irish Republican Army, that terrorised Great Britain for God knows how many years. I and my directors at Ovation International were lucky to escape a massive explosion that shattered the peace and tranquillity of London Docklands when a bomb went off inside the South Quay light rail station which was next to our office at Beaufort Court. The battle of wits and the war of attrition had to be fought using the carrot and the stick approach. It was the carrot approach that eventually succeeded and the United Kingdom has now been rid of that hitherto interminable scourge for many years! The Boko Haram issue has defied every effort made so far and it is time to expand the options for the sake of our fellow citizens in the heart of this conundrum. When over 200 girls vanished into thin air, we were so sure they would return very soon but that has remained an illusion. This should tell us that this issue is not a joke and that we need to keep all windows open. Sir, Nigerians want to see government show a different approach and better compassion than what we had in the past. They are waiting to see how you will do this with minimum collateral damage. Sir, you have a herculean task ahead but it is not a mission impossible. Other nations are experiencing almost similar challenges and they are forging ahead. The first indicator to exhibit our seriousness is when we stop the business as usual syndrome and tighten the belts of government officials and politicians. If the idea is to continue along the path of profligacy then Nigeria is contagiously jinxed. The Republic of Tanzania has already taken the lead. I will publish a report that has already gone viral below this letter as a veritable example of what is possible. I wish you well as always Sir. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/dele-momodu-writes-buhari-says-nigerians-are-lamenting/ |

Business / Five Signs You Shouldn't Be An Entrepreneur by Okimski(m): 6:59am On Nov 25, 2015 |
Can you say yes to any of these? Don't start a business. These days it seems like everyone wants to be an entrepreneur. For instance, according to a Fox Business News report a couple years ago, nearly half of Americans wanted to own their own business. If so many people want to own a business, why is it that so few do? The answer is simple. It's hard. I firmly believe that anyone can be an entrepreneur, but most people won't put in the time, energy, and commitment it takes to be successful at the ownership level. And that's OK. Not everyone needs to be a business owner. But if you're wondering whether the entrepreneurship game is for you, consider the following five statements. If you say yes to any of these, you might want to reconsider. If, however, you read these five statements and don't feel that they represent you, then maybe it's time to take the leap. 1. You don't have thick skin. It seems that as soon as you announce you are starting a business everyone is an expert in starting a business. Not everyone will love your idea or product, and they won't be afraid to tell you. I'm not saying you shouldn't listen to criticism, but you have to be able to take the punches and not take everything personally. 2. You don't like being "connected." As an entrepreneur, there really isn't such a thing as "disconnecting" from the world, not in the beginning anyway. You'll be living and breathing your new company while trying to educate everyone about your business. You'll be constantly thinking about how to improve things, reduce costs, and sell more. There is no such thing as a 9-to-5 work schedule when you're an entrepreneur. 3. You need to be praised for your efforts. If you're an employee, you're probably used to getting constant feedback about your performance, task and project completion. A lot of employees are even used to their bosses telling them how great they are - even if they know they aren't. This is not the case for an entrepreneur. You won't hear any of that unless you tell yourself. Your praise comes in the form of making money. And it's going to be a while before you really get the praise you're looking for. 4. You need someone to give you motivation. Similar to needing praise, if you need external motivation, you shouldn't be an entrepreneur either. When you wake up in the morning as an entrepreneur, there isn't someone standing in your kitchen ready to give you that day's tasks. It's all on you. 5. You're only comfortable wearing one hat. There are people I know that are only comfortable being an accountant, or a writer, or an event planner, These people are only comfortable doing one thing and, as such, should never be an entrepreneur. As an entrepreneur, especially a solopreneur, you are often putting on different hats, making a multitude of decisions and you need to be confident in doing so. Here's the good news. Even if you said yes to one or more of these, you can make a change. I'm a firm believer that anyone can change his or her mindset. All you need is the determination and a little help along the way. But if you want to be an entrepreneur, change you must. No better time to start than today. http://www.richdad.com/Resources/Rich-Dad-Financial-Education-Blog/November-2015/Five-Signs-You-Shouldn-t-be-an-Entrepreneur.aspx 1 Like |

Politics / I Am Devastated By Audu’s Death, Says Buhari by Okimski(m): 5:23pm On Nov 23, 2015 |
ABUJA–President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed shock over the news of Abubakar Audu’s death, saying he was personally devastated by the sad development. “We are obviously devastated at the loss”, he said Audu, who died on Sunday was the All Progressive Congress, APC’s candidate in the inconclusive Kogi State Governorship election that held last Saturday. President Buhari who is currently attending the Third Gas Exporting Countries Forum in Tehran, Iran. In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu President Buhari described the late Abubakar Audu as a talented politician, a loving family head and a respected community leader. “He was immensely courageous”, he said. The statement added: “President Buhari condoles with the family of the late governor, the government and people of Kogi state as well as all our party members, men and women who stood with Audu in his bid return as Governor. He ran as the favorite in the election as the early results have clearly shown.” President Buhari prayed to Allah to repose the soul of Governor Audu, and to give his family, the people of Kogi State and the APC members all over Nigeria the fortitude to bear this loss. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/i-am-devastated-by-audus-death-says-buhari/ |

Politics / 58 Quotable Quotes Of Ex-president Goodluck Jonathan @ 58 by Okimski(m): 5:18am On Nov 20, 2015 |
Fifty-eight years ago, former President Goodluck Jonathan was born in Otueke, a predominantly fishing community, presently in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State. On that fateful Wednesday of November 20, 1957, baby Jonathan was born into the family of Mr. Lawrence Jonathan. His mother is Mrs Eunice. Rising from what he (Jonathan) has always described as a journey from ‘grass to grace,’ the son of canoe makers, rose from a Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State to becoming Nigeria’s President, the highest office in the country. Jonathan, who held sway as the country’s No. 1 citizen for 60 months/24days (5 May 2010 – 29 May 2015) is many things to many people. For instance, recently, Jonathan who led the Commonwealth international observers team to monitor the Tanzanian general election held on October 25, 2015, was described as ‘a hero of free and fair election in Africa,’ having contributed largely to the successful conduct of the election which was declared peaceful, free, fair and credible by international observers. Basking in the euphoria of the high respect they have for Jonathan, particularly for making that unusual and unprecedented sacrifice to concede defeat to his opponent, General Muhammadu Buhari (now President), The Daily News of Tanzania, in an editorial before the election, titled, ‘Salutary lessons for Tanzania from Nigeria’s latest elections,’ paid glowing tributes to Jonathan. The newspaper commended him for taking his defeat in the last presidential election “in all magnanimity,” stressing that, “Jonathan may very well have averted bloodshed that is characteristic of incumbent leaders who cling in power tooth and nail, fang and claw! What lesson is there in this for us in Tanzania, pray?” The paper maintained: “It is generally admitted that the election in Nigeria was unprecedentedly free, fair and transparent, whereby the opposition candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, won the Presidency. What is more remarkable is that the incumbent president who sought re-election, Goodluck Jonathan, … most graciously accepted the results promptly! “Oh, I don’t know beyond the fact that Tanzania could tragically do worse if it fails to dedicatedly take a leaf out of Nigeria’s newest book on elections!” Similarly, the Guardian of Tanzania, in its own editorial entitled, ‘High profile figures among observers will add credibility to poll process, results’, poured encomiums on the former Nigerian president, describing him as a democrat who has pointed the way forward for the rest of Africa. The Guardian further wrote that “Jonathan’s voluntary handover of power to the opposition wrote a new chapter for Nigeria’s democracy, given the fact that it is rare for sitting presidents in Africa to hand over powers to winning opposition parties.” Against this backdrop, Vanguard captures 58 quotable quotes of Ex-President Jonathan as he clocks 58. Quote 1 The stronger the boat of (democracy), the more it is able to meet the challenges of its voyage and deliver on its promise to citizens. Quote 2 The air of freedom we breathe today is the result of the sacrifices of thousands of pro-democracy activists, human rights campaigners and others who organised as civil society. Quote 3 My political ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian. Quote 4 No minister will be allowed to go on a mission of endless search for solutions. Quote 5 In the comfort of our offices, let us not forget that majority of our people live below the poverty line. Quote 6 Terrorism has no conscience and spares no one. Quote 7 Any society or country that closes the vital valves of its democratic space cannot develop at a reasonable pace Quote 8 Where there is no opportunity for one man one vote, there will be no accountability and no responsibility. Quote 9 Democracy is a journey that every nation mindful of advancing the liberty of its citizens must undertake. Quote 10 Nobody’s political ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian. Quote 11 Our votes must count! One man, one vote! One woman, one vote! One youth, one vote! Quote 12 Nobody should rig for me. I am assuring Nigerians that though I am contesting, nobody must manipulate votes in my favour. Our votes must count. Quote 13 I congratulate the candidates of the other political parties. I regard them not as opponents but as partners. Quote 14 In presenting myself for service, I make no pretense that I have a magic wand that will solve all of Nigeria’s problems or that I am the most intelligent Nigerian. Quote 15 I have come to launch a campaign of ideas, not one of calumny. I have come to preach love, not hate. I have come to break you away from divisive tendencies of the past which have slowed our drive to true nationhood. I have no enemies to fight. You are all my friends and we share a common destiny. Quote 16 Democracy calls for sacrifice and tolerance an open ear and a strong voice. Quote 17 For the PDP family, the contest for party offices does not produce winners and losers. Quote 18 I believe in the politics of give and take. Quote 19 Separation of power is not separation of government. Quote 20 We are all Nigerians and I will be a President to all. This is the new dawn we crave Quote 21 Our unity is firm, our purpose strong, our determination unshakable. Quote 22 Being a Nigerian is a blessing (and) a great responsibility. Quote 23 We have a duty to be loyal to our country. Quote 24 If God did not will it we will not be Nigerians. Quote 25 Our founding fathers… did not dream of a country where neighbours and friends would exchange bullets in place of handshakes. Quote 26 I prefer to see the silver lining in the dark cloud rather than the dark cloud in the silver lining. Quote 27 We may not have overcome our challenges, but neither have our challenges overcome us. Quote 28 We are not sworn enemies… We are neighbours who sometimes offend each other, but can always sit down to talk over our differences. Quote 29 Over-dependence on oil has put an unpleasant bracket in our national economic freedom. Quote 30 Economic diplomacy does not need to be a zero-sum game where the gain of partner automatically translates to the loss of the other. Quote 31 Peace and security are the barest irreducible conditions for social and economic development. Quote 32 I am loyal to Nigeria’s economy. I don’t have accounts or property abroad. All my children live and school in Nigeria. Quote 33 The time of lamentation is over. This is the era of transformation. This is the time for action. Quote 34 Cynicism and scepticism will not help our journey to greatness. Let us all believe in a new Nigeria. Quote 35 The goal of achieving positive macroeconomic stability is no end in itself. Quote 36 I have no intention to inflict pain on Nigerians. To save Nigeria, we must all be prepared to make sacrifices. Quote 37 While we may not have landed a spaceship on the moon or developed nuclear technology, our inventors and innovators have made globally acknowledged contributions Quote 38 Transformation in my view simply means taking what you have and making the best of it and in so doing produce results that can bring about a paradigm shift. Quote 39 I want to assure Nigerians that crude oil is not our ‘Black Gold.’ The real ‘Black Gold’ of Nigeria are her people and they can grow in value from gold to diamond via education. Quote 40 We must quickly move away from partisan battlegrounds and find the national common ground. Quote 41 Let me put you on notice: the assignment of offices is not an allocation of privileges. Quote 42 Nigeria is a nation of resilient people. We will never yield to the forces of darkness. Nigeria will never ever, disintegrate. Quote 43 The quality of governance is as good as the quality of the civil service. Quote 44 The best advertisement for good governance is its positive expressions of happiness in the lives of the governed. Quote 43 In my early days in school, I had no shoes, no school bags. I carried my books in my hands but never despaired; no car to take me to school, but I never despaired. There were days I had only one meal but I never despaired. I walked miles and crossed rivers to school every day, but I never despaired. Didn’t have power, didn’t have generators, studied with lanterns, but I never despaired. In spite of these, I finished secondary school attended the University of Port Harcourt and now hold a doctorate degree. Quote 44 I was not born rich and in my youth, I never imagined that I would be where I am today, but not once did I ever give up. Quote 45 As the most populous black nation on earth it seems our manifest destiny is to champion the cause of African emancipation and integration. Quote 46 African renaissance remains an unfinished business, but the work that remains should not stop us from focusing on new priorities and challenges. Quote 47 I am happy that the black man has put the shame of dispossession behind him and is moving on. Quote 48 The dark patches in the Niger Delta will give way to light. Quote 49 On the football field, nobody cares who scores for Nigeria. You can be a Musa or a Moses; you can be a Christopher or a Mustapha, nobody cares. Quote 50 We have a duty to stand firm against those who threaten the sovereign integrity of the Nigerian state. Our will is strong, because our faith lies in the indivisibility of Nigeria. Quote 51 Nigerians are peace-loving people; these sad events perpetrated by those who do not wish our nation well have not changed the essential character of our people. Quote 52 No matter what it takes, we will win this war against terror. Quote 53 Africa must declare an end to the era of self-inflicted wars and conflicts. Quote 54 Africa must turn its begging bowls into baskets of prosperity and opportunity. Quote 55 It is the supreme task of this generation to give hope to the hopeless strength to the weak and protection to the defenseless. Quote 56 We must develop a democratic culture in which the will of the people will be treated as sacred and be immune to subversion by anti-democratic elements. Quote 57 As we strive to advance our democratic development, there will be times when our will shall be tested, our patience provoked and our belief questioned. Quote 58 The beauty of democracy is that its practice is never final and always has room for improvement no matter how old a democratic society may be. Where we falter we must not fall. When we are weak, we must not surrender. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/58-quotable-quotes-of-ex-president-goodluck-jonathan-58/ 3 Likes

Politics / Arrest Order: Dasuki Says He Is Being Embarrassed by Okimski(m): 7:16am On Nov 18, 2015 |
Former National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Dasuki (retd) has expressed his disappointment over reports that President Muhammadu Buhari ordered his arrest over alleged siphoning of billions of dollars earmarked for arms purchases. The embattled former NSA, according to Vanguard, disclosed that he was never officially or unofficially invited by the 13-man panel set up by the president to audit the procurement of arms and equipment in the Armed Forces and Defence sector from 2007 to date, to appear before it. Dasuki in one of his appearances in court While still wondering how the panel came up with an interim report without hearing from him, Sasuki told PR Nigeria that, “I have never been invited formally or informally to appear before the panel. I am therefore not only surprised but embarrassed by seeming indictment by the panel purportedly operating from Office of the National Security Adviser that never contacted me. “For the record, I am proud to serve my nation with the best of intention and ensuring the recovery of more than 22 local government councils from Boko Haram terrorists. “Because of the pride on how we tackled terrorism and defeated Boko Haram terrorists through our gallant troops and partners in the twilight of the previous administration, that is the reason I have insisted on open and public trial of my stewardship rather than secret trial in the court as being canvassed by my prosecutors. “I wish Nigerians will go back and reflect on what we did with even little or no supports from some countries, we performed miracles before the emergence of this administration. Even though the committee was to investigate procurement from 2007 to 2015, yet only my name is always being mentioned even when some of the issues were before I came into the government.” The former security adviser had canceled his trip abroad for medication on his failing health after it emerged that the Department of State Security (DSS) was planning to arrest him at the airport, but the federal government denied the allegation, stating that he was being prevented from traveling because of some other cases against him. Dasuki will have to prove his innocence before the court before he will be allowed to travel outside the country to attend to his ill health. https://www.naij.com/640867-ex-nsa-dasuki-replies-president-buhari-arrest-order-read-said.html

We've activated Safety Check again after the bombing in Nigeria this evening. After the Paris attacks last week, we made the decision to use Safety Check for more tragic events like this going forward. We're now working quickly to develop criteria for the new policy and determine when and how this service can be most useful. Unfortunately, these kinds of events are all too common, so I won't post about all of them. A loss of human life anywhere is a tragedy, and we're committed to doing our part to help people in more of these situations. In times like this, it's important to remind ourselves that despite the alarming frequency of these terrible events, violence is actually at an all-time low in history and continues to decline. Deaths from war are lower than ever, murder rates are generally dropping around the world, and -- although it's hard to believe -- even terrorist attacks are declining. Please don't let a small minority of extremists make you pessimistic about our future. Every member of our community spreads empathy and understanding on a daily basis. We are all connecting the world together. And if we all do our part, then one day there may no longer be attacks like this. https://mobile.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10102481809620421&id=4&refid=17&_ft_=top_level_post_id.10102481809620421%3Atl_objid.10102481809620421%3Athid.4%3A306061129499414%3A2%3A0%3A1448956799%3A-8490605659678475230&__tn__=%2As |

Politics / Buhari Has Shown Nigeria Can Join Big League – Minister by Okimski(m): 5:59pm On Nov 17, 2015 |
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said on Tuesday that President Muhammadu Buhari had shown that Nigeria had the capacity to join the “big league“ of nations. Mohammed said this in Abuja in the course of his interaction with the directors and heads of units in the ministry. He said that the President had leveraged his legendary personality, discipline, transparency, integrity, belief in the Rule of Law, and patriotism to put the country on the global map. “Since assuming office, President Buhari, the driver of change, has shown and demonstrated that Nigeria can join the big league. “He has leveraged his legendary personal discipline, transparency, integrity, belief in the Rule of Law, and unparalleled patriotism to put Nigeria on the global map, to show his compatriots that Nigeria can be great again and to show that what seemed impossible yesterday is now possible, either in the war on terrorism, the fight against corruption, the determination to uplift the economy, to provide jobs for our teeming youths and to ensure life more abundant for all Nigerians.’’ The minister, therefore, urged the directors and other management staff of the ministry to drive the change agenda of the Buhari administration “with the passion of champions of change“. According to him, in the days ahead, the ministry will be saddling the directors with heavier and newer responsibilities as part of efforts to effectively play our role as the champions of change. Gentlemen, in the days ahead, gentlemen, we will be saddling with heavier and newer responsibilities as part of the efforts to discharge our roles as champions of change “Brace up, because it is going to be one heck of a ride. “We hope you will be part of the train of change, because many people will like to be where you are today. This is a historic moment “In the run up to the last elections, there were times that we did not have money to even run our adverts, whether on the radio, television or newspapers. We soldiered on all the same. “We were threatened, kidnapped and abducted by those who wielded the instruments of coercion. “But we remained undaunted. Not even the massive war chest of the ruling party then could shake our resolve or deter us, until we rode to office on the wings of change.’’ “Such was the determination that propelled us then and such is the determination that can propel us now.“ He urged the entire workforce to draw its inspiration from the electoral success of the All Progressives Congress “to march towards a greater nation“. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/buhari-has-shown-nigeria-can-join-big-league-minister/ |

Phones / Nairalander Needs Help On Hanging Phonebook Contacts by Okimski(m): 6:10pm On Nov 13, 2015 |
I don't know if it's a usual occurrence with every android phone of just my phone alone. I have used an Innjoo note and currently using an Infinix hot note and on both occasions when I try to access my phonebook, it usually hangs and wouldn't show any contacts till after about 30mins. This reoccurs on daily basis that it becomes irritating that I have to wait for up to 30mins to view contacts or missed calls on many occasions. Pls what's the cause and remedy for this problem. NB: It started after a few months of using both phones! |
