Down here in this part of the world manipulations thrives

Exactly all these is just manipulation. I don't want to even talk abt the iphone users that spend millions on phone just cos dey want to impress afterall it's their money. But common, they shouldn't cos iphone sells despite ridiculous prices try to inflate android too.

Here is mine, used 8.1gig out of the 12gig ram. Who says people don't use upto 2 or 3gig ram?

Baba most of us here on nairaland are still tech savvy. Go and do general survey and come back and tell me number of ram people are using. For example while U guys do like 24Gb to 30GB monthly data the average folks on the street, uncles, fathers, mothers, bros n sis are doing just 1 or 2 gb a month or a week data subscription. U guys that use more than 3gb are the 10%, while the 90% of naija smartphone users dont use up to 3gb ram.

The truth is 3gb ram shouldn't be quickly obsolete, but cos this phone companies just want to up prices they keep coming up with 4,6,8,12gb ram. Even most of our laptops n system run 4gb ram so why should phones just jump to this level that 3gb won't be in the market again.

How much is the moto G fairly used & the battery capacity? Hope the ba3 hrs last past iPhone X... Repair cost like screen & battery replacement

3gb,32gb moto Fairly used should be within the range 30-40k.

Y i like motorola is because dey don't use cheap casing like the 3 popular android brands (trans...). I don't even need pouch except screen guard. And the phone still looks very clean after years of usage n u cn sell the fairly used at decent price.

We are allowing this phone companies to scam us

How can they scam me when I never patronize them?
Every OG phone user knows techno them lies a lot about their product and over hype their inferior products using megapixel as a major selling point, if most people did proper research before buying a phone, that company will cease to exist.

About your second point, it shows you’re indomie generation grin
Don’t you know they were days of Symbian phone with 256gb to 512mb ram and some androids running 1gb ram. 3gb ram sounded too much then.
Thats evolution for you, the world will keep moving forward, things will get more advanced and will need efficient hardware to keep up.
New tech now would always become obsolete in the future.

It will seem that the company are pricing the phone higher but it’s usually a fixed price every year for the next gen versions, it’s just the dollar rate in your country that’s messed up.
For example, Redmi will release Note 8 for 99$ in 2019
Then release Note 9 for that same 99$ in 2020.
Same price but when converted to naira itll definitely be higher than 2019’s Note 8 price •


Am in my late thirties so am not indomie generation, and i can recall 2007/8 when i was in university when we use nokia, sony erricson java phone with operamini and cheatcodes to browse freely grin. So plz steady on throwing jab, i might not knw more than u on tech but you are not talking to a novice here.

I get your last point on the dollar rate, and yeah its a valid point for the increase in price. But is that why they should take all this 3gig - 32gig phone of the market cos they want to sell 4-64, 128gig phones?

Go to slot, and all these phone store u will hardly see 3gb phone not to talk of 2gb.

Attached above already,
For android 13 to run on 3gb ram it has to be highly optimized.
Except your phone is outdated and running an older Android OS, then 3gb is fine.
A 3gb / 32gb Motorlla Phone is probably on Android 9.
That being said, you can't say cause you use less than 3gb on an old phone, over 90% of the whole world use less than 3gb.
You then say it's creating inflation in the economy, like the phones are being produced here ? grin.
These phones are sold worldwide buddy.
Country no good normal.
Yes, then 60k was worth something, could get a brand new entry phone, but 60k then is like 120k now.
You really can't get an average brand new phone for 60k.
And about the megapixel you're right, there's more to a phones camera than just megapixel alone.
No let them Techno and Infinix whine you with big megapixel, Maintain composure, all na thrash.
Now you are saying my mind in your last sentence. We are allowing this phone companies to scam us. I mean y should they take 3gb, 32gb of market now. I know there are many ways pple can counter my points in this write up but just view my grievance. In next 2 years dis pple will be coming up with 48 ram n 1 terabyte shit n just normal phone users won't be able to get budget phone except u will buy fairly used. I get it u are a heavy phone user, but when u bring out 10 phone users, hardly can u see 1 using up to 3gb ram and yet these is going off the market already.

Besides am using moto g pure n its updated to android 12

Una Dey off me

3gb, 4gb ram phones are getting obsolete with the release of new apps and operating software/system and you're saying that's the cause of inflation?
Baba check hw many ram u are using first? Am sure u cn use up to 3.

ClassicEvilSpir:
Lot of these phones with multiple camera setup use poorer sensors, than their one camera sensor predecessors. On the aspect of ram, I believe the newer os and the recent apps are more ram hungry, and given the fact multitasking is the minimum, one wouldn't want to minimise an app, then return back only to lose all progress, hence more ram. However though, some brands are guilty of subpar ram, and even fake camera; a phone appears to have 2 cameras, but only one is genuine.
Exactly

immortalcrown:
You failed to point out the scam. RAM is not part of the scam.

Camera and ROM are where the scam lies.

Examples:
4GB RAM with 128 ROM is a scam because the phone will hang if 98% of the ROM is used.

A phone with 4GB RAM will have 128 ROM and still have a space for a memory card. This is a big scam because the 4GB RAM cannot even carry the 128 ROM talk more of carrying an additional memory card. The only advantage in this case is that the memory card space can be used if you just want to use the memory card to copy a file from the phone.

High camera pixels are a scam on many phones. You won't know until you try to zoom in on something that is very far. Also, most of those phones cannot record a video on 4.3 aspect ratio.

Ok you see. This is another good point you are raising.
Phones / How We Have Been Scamming Ourselves by Ortintin: 2:10pm On Jun 16
So I was trying to buy a new phone for my aged auntie as a birthday present but I was shocked not only by the insane prices of 120k - 300k but the ridiculous specs that these phone makers are using to deceive people. I mean my budget was like 50k-60k android phone with specs like 2 or 3 Gig Ram and 32 Gb Rom but I was shocked that these phones are quickly going to extinction and most of what is in the market now are 4 Gb, 6Gb, 8Gb, 12 Gb Ram and 64, 128, 512Gb memory phones.

The sincere truth is that even most of these 3Gb Ram phone, over 90% of phone users don't even use up to 2GB, and now you are coming up with 4Gb, 8Gb thereby creating inflation in the economy and unnecessarily increasing prices of items.

Let me also quickly mention some phone that boast of 40 to 50megapixel of camera and still the picture quality still sucks to a 16mp phone. Even some of all these double, triple camera still sucks to a phone that has just a camera. Let me not even mention the ever the same OS and same system update that all these giant companies have been using to deceive people and unnecessarily waste data and resources.

Personally have been using this my Motorola 3GB, 32GB ram phone for the past one and half years now and i feel no need to upgrade anything except the memory space which my 32GB Memory card compensates for it.

In short, we shouldn't let all these companies keep pushing us but they should be at the mercy of the consumers and not the other way round.

Though I have a lot to write about this but let me just stop here cos I believe a word is a seed. Besides this is the perfect time for new phone companies to come into the game with budget phones that will make these phones giants to sit up.

Quick test: try and check your Phone Ram used and lets see if anyone is using up to 3Gb. Personally i use 1.9Gig (go to settings, click about phone or find build number. Tap this build number multiple times till it brings the developer icon. Then go to system and click developers option to find the amount of Ram you used.

Crime / Re: 16 Reasons Why You Should Not Commit Suicide by Ortintin: 1:34pm On Apr 28
hopefulLandlord:
I want to play the devil's advocate here so don't think whatever I say next is me encouraging suicide, I'm simply trying to show the other side of the coin and tell you how a suicidal person would see what you're saying

Chopping your head off actually does "cure" headache as headaches stop immediately

Yeah, it takes a huge courage to go through with suicide attempts

The problem with this is that it ignores the fact that certain suicidal people do it out of love for those that love them, think of a cancer patient who is suffering. he not only suffers but also watches his loved ones suffer also psychologically, emotionally and financially. his loved ones are having their spirits crushed slowly in an attempt to keep the cancer patient alive

Such a patient might just decide to jump in the lagoon. yes his committing suicide would hurt the loved ones but he probably feels they'll recover with time

I'm an atheist but your question here exposes something you probably haven't thought about. what if there's heaven and hell but only people who commit suicide go to heaven and those who don't go to hell? as strange as it sounds whatever happens after death is speculation. also someone who's suicidal most likely doesn't give a rat's ass behind about afterlife, he's more concerned about exiting this one as fast as he can

What about someone who isn't benefiting anyone but depends on people? a jobless, uneducated, unloved and dependent person who people actually see as a burden?

actually a suicidal person at best thinks there "might" be beautiful moments ahead of them but most can't think of something getting better. they're psychologically unable to even think about it and when they do all they see is bleakness

We all have breaking points

try taking a glass of water, drink from it and drop it. easy right? try taking the glass, hold it and don't drop it for 1 hour and your hands start to hurt. hold it for 5 hours and your hands would need medical attention. hold it for a day and you'll be hospitalised

see? the more challenges last and don't get solved the more it can lead someone to breaking point especially if those challenges are huge and preventing such a person from progressing or even regressing in some facet of life

I don't see how this is relevant
refer to my reply to your number 5

actually there are certain conditions that are permanent, genetic diseases is one such or at least there's no known cure
Seriously? this would sound insulting to a suicidal person, while the reason he wanted the ground to open up is due to his immaturity, an adult is totally different

refer to number 8

There are people who live suffer and die suffering. an SS kid born to a poverty stricken family for example

this is like saying there's a possibility the poorest man in the world becomes a billionaire in 2 minutes time, its possible but so close to impossible that its better ignored, this is how a suicidal person would think

Yeah, the biblical story about a man who's children were all killed then he gave birth to new children and everything became good again. if you don't see what's wrong in that story especially Yahweh's involvement then.......

Nice one!


Got tired

So are you saying people should go ahead and commit suicide
Religion / Tell Me Your Dream, And God Will Supply The Interpretation - THREAD by Ortintin: 12:13pm On Apr 28
So I have decided to make use of one of the talents God gave me and not to hide it - and it's to give interpretations to people's dreams.

Since I was young have been able to see the meaning of my dreams and any dream someone told me, that is once you share me you dream something just flash what it implies to me but up till now, I don't know how it happens. Though have only given close friends and relatives the privilege and they have always testified to the glory of God.

The truth is according to my little experience not all dreams have meaning. When you dream, and you can't remember any details about it when you wake, then it's just a dream and should not be taken seriously but when you dream and you can vividly recollect your dreams or you keep dreaming about it, then you have to pay heed and take such dreams seriously.

Modified: I don't collect anything or claim I have the power to interprete it for it's not by my power but of the Lord. So just whatsapp (08027024393) or drop it on this thread.

Religion / How I Spent My Tithe (Controversy And Understanding) by Ortintin: 5:50am On Dec 24, 2023
INTRO
Tithe is bringing one tenth of every of your increase to the house of God.
And to my understanding, it is making sure 10% of your profit is not used for yourself but is given out to bless others.

How I Spent my Tithe
Out of the 10% tithe, I pay 5% to church and the remaining 5% to bless family, friends and strangers who come to ask me for money or who I felt needed assistance. The remaining 90% of my profit is solely mine to spend and make use of.

One of the reasons I don't pay all the 10% to church is because the church are not explicit about the amount of tithe they get or even how they spent it. Of course I know my church needs running cost like fuel, lightning, designs, furnishings and to pay some certain workers and that's why I set aside the 5% for them. But the truth is that I hardly see my church blessing the poor or the needy with this money which is the fundamental reason why God told us to pay it.

UNDERSTANDING TITHE
Your tithe is 10% of your increase. If someone gives you 20k or you record 20k as profit or paid salary of 20k, 2k which is 10% of 20k is your tithe to give out and the remaining 18k is yours alone to spend any how you see fit. Even if it is #50 profit you recorded, you can only spend 45 on yourself, the remaining 5 which is 10% of 50 should be to church or help someone. No matter what your increase is, you are to use only 90% for yourself and 10% for others. Even if you harvest fruits, you are to remove 10% of the fruits to give people or after selling all you remove 10% of the money to give church or people.

SCIENTIFIC AND MATHEMATICAL PROOF OF TITHE EFFICACY
Though I believe in God, but I don't want us to dwell on only the facts that God asked us to pay tithe so He can bless us. As a scientist, lets look at it from the mathematical perspective how tithe can be a source of blessings to people and have enough meat to go round.
As illustration, from your 20k profit, you gave someone (person A) 2k as tithe, from that 2k profit, person A also gave someone (person B) 200 which is 10% of his 2k, and person B also gave someone (person C) 20 which is 10% of 200 and so on. We all can agree that that such community of givers can never lack even down to their beggars as long as they also give our their 10%.

CONCLUSION

The truth is that people are really suffering and most people are finding it harder to give because they also hardly receive any help from anyone.
Let's keep helping one another and never get tired of doing it. Ofcourse if you have exhausted your 10% tithe may be for the month you can easily tell them you don't have anything on ground now and as soon as you record an increase you will give.

Please before some pastors come for my head note that the 5% is just my own method. You can decide to pay 7% or 9% to church and use the remaining 3% or 1% to bless people who ask you for favor cos I know they will surely come or the need will always arise where you have to help someone. Or you can pay all the 10% and still set aside a part of your money for gift or help to people whether family, friends or strangers. All am saying here is let's learn to give, never stop giving or get tired of giving, or say I have given too much. Let your profit dictates that. As long as the earth keeps blessing you, you should learn to bless others too and nature (God) will in turn continue to bless and help us all.

In this post, I try not to brag about my giving or delve much into the blessings of God one will receive as a result of giving but I can attest to it cause things are working fine for me.
Finally I leave you with the quote of a famous pastor - "Pay your tithe so things will not be tight for you."

So I placed a bet on 1xbet yesterday and one of the match was Az Alkmaar to win or draw against Nec Nijmegen, it was abandoned 1-2 at 89th minute. Instead of 1xbet to termed this game has void like other bookies my ticket was settled cause they claim they have an 80mins bet policy in paragraph 9.25 of the company's terms and conditions.

So bettors should realise that 1xbet has a different settlement policy different from other bookies.

Family / Re: See Why My Mother Cursed Me by Ortintin: 8:55pm On Sep 12, 2023
See am not feeling too well, but I will give u a little advice.

Never let money or things related to wealth comes between you and your family for then family bonds becomes weak. Money crushes everything these days. Blood is thicker tgan water and money is thicker than blood.

So what do you?
Sit your mum down and sincerely beg her, support ger relationship with the man and even if you can facilitate his moving in. Show him kindness and be sincere about this. Remember am using the word sincere, you are not trying to be nice so as to punish them later but sincerely being nice. Eventually if the man is a con he will show his color and if he is a good man well am sure he will bring something good to your life.

Besides tell you ur mum to reverse the curse and pray for you. God can bless you with your own mansion and you even buy houses for your mum and even the man. Don't drag anything.
