Inferiority complex will finished you people soon. You claimed you have this, you have that, yet anytime they ask you to leave Lagos or Ogun state your people will start writing to Fifa, UN or even UEFA.

What are you saying their price is the same and the iPhone X has a higher resale value,so what’s your point

Pascalville:
Brother lemme tell you my story..I am currently a student of university of lagos.. this is my 7th year in the university.. next year will be my last. I got admission into unilag in 2012/2013 into computer engineering.. not that i was unserious but everything there seem different to me.. exactly not what I expected for a computer engineering course because it was merge with electrical engineering. In Unilag, Electrical engineering and computer engineering are one.. the one housing both is electrical engineering.. so we did more of electrical engineering's courses than computer engineering.. we hardly program.. they make us program on a shît of paper just imagine.. so this affected the computer engineering students... most of us made a very difficult decision by transferring out of the dept and faculty to a new dept and faculty called Actuarial Science under the faculty of business administration.. some transferred early like immediately after year 2 cos that wen you re opened to transfer from engineering with a minimum gpa of 2.0...mine wasnt up to that.. i was on a 1.89 gpa but i really wanted to move.. my parents didnt knw my intentions.. so the more i tried in engineering the more i hd F's ... my mama did everything to make me have interest even by buying me a core i7 laptop in 2014 but i lost interest.. I thought of suicide bro.. so one exam.. things got rough and patchy and i was almost disciplined by the school senate.. I summoned courage and explain to them to give me one last chance thats how i wasn't penalized but i told myself i cant keep on going like this.. that i must leave.. fast forward to 2017 i was in level 500 with 1.3 gpa by then most of my computer engineering mates have transferred out and i wasnt still allowed to leave due to low gpa.. i tried in year 4 my 10000 naira wasted.. then i payed 10k and tried again.. my mentor and uncle a professor had to see it through pleading by risking his neck on my behalf that i would succeed there .. not every proff will do that knowing i was an F student.. mind you not that the students that all transferred were dumb and unintelligent .. some of them started engineering with 4 point gpa and above but couldn't keep up so they left.. i was still there till 500 level thinking that if i leave what we people say.. what will my parents say.. but fûck what everyone thought.. i left wen my mate graduated thats it and that is.. on my sixth year.. i left to Actuarial science in 2018. I was really scared cos i did not knw what i am going to face there.. for a course in faculty of business admin what do i know.. cos i am a science student from secondary school.. so do i knw my accounting.. na.. do i know my finance or insurance courses.. nah i dont think so.. cos every course i wrote in engineering whenever the result is out i dont bother checking cos i knw i would have F.. and it always happens till i left engineering.. so i had a total of 21 carryover wen i was leaving engineering.. but wen u transfer out to a new department .. unilag will reset ur gpa to 0.. you will start from year 2 for a 4 years Actuarial science course.. sounds cool right but to me that year 2 in actuarial science is my year 6 in unilag.. year 3 is my year 7 and year 4 is my year 8 totally.. so i went there and promise my self i must see changes.. i got with good influences.. i mean good friends who motivated me.. borrowed some textbook and hey.. i developed a reading habit.. immediately after every lectures i go and read.. me that knws nothing in commercial course I changed my grade from F's to A's and B's.. and actuarial science has the same weight as computer engineering.. it is the only mathematical course in the whole of business administration.. we deal with insurance covers.. we can predict when you will die.. or the year interval of when a machine will fail.. google about the course and see.. Actuarist re scarce in Nigeria. Only 2 universities is taking the course in Nigeria and unilag is one.. the course pays well.. funny enough we differentiate and integrate and do every mathematical things just like in engineering.. the probability and statistics is deep and crazy but i see it as chilling.. my mama is so proud of me now that i am doing well.. i see some of my mates on facebook(exactly what made me stop using social media) some are working already.. some are doing masters.. but i am still in year 3.. ogbeni, everyman for himself.. just run ur own race jeje.. it is not how fast but how well..let ur past motivate you.. cos if you are happy with urself that is wen you can do well in this 100level you wanna try..i thought of ways to kill myself but hey here i am still standing.. dont be a coward.. face ur problems like i am doing mine.. my mates come to me to teach them now.. hardly do they knw i was an F student before.. i turned my F's to A and B and C.. you can do better.. next year is my finals and i aint gonna joke with it.. i must be out next year.. thats all. I hope my story can motivate you..everyone is going through hell.. the thing that matters is how well you can handle ur hell

Aidejay:

You raised valid points
But consider this
1. America is a capitalist state. Infact they are the definition of capitalism. It will be impossible for the government to enforce a law where no major app developer can host their apps on OAK
This will be considered an overstep of government function
2. Considering the fact that A majority of apps that are American are not hosted on American devices so if the rest that is lenovo, xaomin and the host of Chinese/asian tech adopt Huawei's OS Google will have to ban it's services from the whole of Africa, Asia and Europe where these smart phone companies hold a very large majority of the market
3. I am sure independent developers i.e paypal will rather authorize a PayPal OAK than to be blacklisted by every other smartphone maker except samsung, iphone and maybe infinix
4. Huawei OS adopters are the reason America is the largest and most powerful tech company if u ban them u ruin Qualcomm and snapdragons and every other smartphone parts and chips makes business in the USA. Infact it's an impossible circumstance
5. The US will not vomit that kind of money just to destroy Huawei. Infact money for ordinary wall Dem no gree
It will need a congressional hearing and voting before such amount is hard pressed then. Not to consider how they will recoup their profit because considering inflation and deflation, taxes and other monetary objectives nobody will want to owe the US government money especially with Trump as president
6. African countries might not take sides but African consumers will especially when they see a cheap Huawei device with all the mad specs vs Google (which will be loosing money, interest and advantage)
7. If it was so easy to not buy Chinese and make yours jobs won't be leaving America for cheap labour and less taxes in Mexico and Canada nor will huge multinational corporation have their manufacturing bases outside the US not will Apple need to make their smartphones in China nor will Trump need to engage in a trade war with China.
8. Aptiode is still a child but guess what children grow. Imagine aptiode being the second largest app store in the world if not the first considering how many phone makers will adopt OAK
9. Brother blacklisting sites is virtually impossible we are talking about the internet the WORLD WIDE WEB

I can't go on and on but I can say this at least nobody wants to be bullied and America is a popular bully even Huawei's CEO ahbi some one said it (that the us is bullying Huawei)
The threat of being bullied is enough for non American phone makers to bond with Huawei to reduce Americas influence over the smartphone market that is


About 5 trillion dollars in investment
This is what u call a stock market crash of the ages the largest
Honestly Microsoft and Apple wont want to suffer for Google so I don't see them jumping behind Trump and alphabet
Tim cook even hates Trump seff

The founder of Huwaei once said in an interview.

"If the lights go out in the West... The East will still shine, If the North goes dark... There is still the South. America doesn't represent the world."

My Quote of the year.

Okuda:


the problem now is that they need to build their own os and "convince" consumers to buy. since we are all hooked to android ad ios, it would be difficult for them for a while. of samsung had sense, they would partner would huawei to build a third force OS coming from Asia. as it seems the monopoly is becoming to tight for the whole world to bear.

Honestly I always pity these women. I remember those days as under g (UNN). Seeing those women clean (boys hostel toilet) I would feel like shading tears for them. And it's all to make ends meet.

I'm yet to use Xiaomi phone but only a fool would compare Xiaomi phone to iPhone .
iPhone beat Xiaomi,Samsung and all other android phones to the core. iPhone plays majority of ps3 games,plays more graphical games that android os will ever dream of....

as for Xiaomi they are not the best phone makers just that they sell their phone cheaper than other brands.
Y
it's baffles me seeing Nigeria Xiaomi fans bragging and rating Xiaomi flagship above Samsung ,hauwei, now apple.

some fans will say they are the best selling phones in the world lol . ask em for proof they will show you India statistics.
mind you that Xiaomi copied iPhone the only reason America have not started tormenting em is because they are not yet known.
ask your self this question why majority of wester countries use iPhone and Samsung .
iPhone and Samsung are the two mostly used phones in the world.




in China Xiaomi is not even among the first three brands and can not compete among the likes of vivo,oppo,hauwei that's why they targeted India ,Bangladesh, Nepal all these poor Asia countries to dominant their market .now they are coming to Nigeria to compete with likes of in market tecno and infinix .

as for umidigi I can not rate them until they step up their game. their flagship phone can't be compared to Xiaomi note7 . they have worse camera ever, phone heats, charger burns after few weeks, not talk more of the useless old outed processors they use.
the truth is the processors they use on their phones are not meant to be sold above $100.

you may be wondering why infinix and techno phones are sold costly here it's becoz they don't sell their phones in China they sell mostly of their products in Africa and other poor Asia countries .
anywhere anytime I will rate Xiaomi above tecno,infinix ,umidigi and other brands.


I already ordered redmi note7 I love technology I love innovations

This phone beats iPhone X camera hands down.

Most pictures are personal

stanley000:
Problem is their pricing o. When i bought my Xiaomi last year the price was quite cheaper even for a Snapdragon phone with 2gig rams and fluid user interface. Now all their phones I'm seeing on nairaland is at least 70k, or is protein0 trying to rip off Nairalanders. I heard he's an Ibo man so it won't be the first

You have a point here but this won't take away fake products in China.
China also suffer because of fake products
Recently, There was food poison to school children, building collapse, chemical explosion etc.
Traced to fake products.
