Tax administration in this country is too poor. All the government knows is to collect taxes. No proper accountability, no substantial improvement in the provision of infrastructures and basic amenities. Yet, you want citizens to pay their taxes accurately as at and when due. Now, you want to increase taxes and pile more miseries on the masses.

I weep for my country.

bigtt76:
True! Both have very big branches in Lekki Phase One few meters apart... I wonder how they would manage them now. Cost of maintenance alone and how much income do they both command comes to bear.

Most likely, they'll either sell the Diamond building off or keep it as an investment property.

bigtt76:
Exactly. It was done subtly so as not to embarrass Pascal Dozie who is well reverred in the banking sector. A merger would see at least Diamond bank's color incorporated but this just Access colors forget the diamond shape replacing the chevrons on the former Access Bank logo.

You get the drift.

A very good example of a proper merger is Stanbic IBTC.

stanley102:
Oga, you were expecting it to come in what name? This is a new entity and the name Access was chosen because of their international presence. You honestly don't expect some customers of the same back to receive notifications from Diamond while others receive from Access.

It's a new bank. It's a new beginning. No more Diamond. No more old Access.

Actually, it's not a new bank. It's still the old Access. If it were to be a new bank (real merger), the new name will be different and new shares will be issued in the name of the new entity. It's actually an acquisition and not a merger, just that it's from a friendly approach and not an aggressive takeover.

oseiwe:
It started with afribank. This is their 3rd title.

Nah. Access didn't acquire Afribank.

Afribank > Mainstreet Bank > Skye Bank > Polaris Bank

By the way, from the combination method, it's obvious it's an acquisition. Guess they don't want people to panic, hence, their merger-esque strategy.

michealdeco:
as in that stuff is annoying

Since 4 days now seller is still processing order

You just have to be patient. My order was shipped after 7 days.

IKON360:
thanks.
Please is dropbox also free like Google drive? What's the storage space or limit? Is there anything like usb type c otg for flash drives?

Dropbox is free, but limited to 2GB storage space. So if you're going to use it, it should only be for important lightweight files. Yes, there's USB type c otg flash drive.

IKON360:
my sd card crashed today during choir rehearsals, 13.9gb of files, songs and pictures since August 2017. I feel like crying.
This is the last time I'll ever buy sd card again.
.
Ifedith what's the name of that weird stuff you were comparing sd cards with? We voted on it

After my memory card crashed in 2017, I didn't store items there again. I only put my songs, video and some pictures that I either already have a backup of, or that I can afford to lose. All other important items were on the phone.

Lost my phone a week ago, including the memory card. Only my camera pictures and some videos were backed up to Google Drive (as I didn't include so many folders for backup despite having access to free wifi during working hours). Until I need to reference some files, I might not remember how important other files are.

Going forward, I've decided that I'll ensure backup of all my important folders to google drive (and probably Dropbox too). I also purchased an OTG/USB flash drive for easy backup to my PC. That way, I should have nothing to worry about.

peacettw:
I totally agree with you. It is really a pity. I wish they had reported to the police at least. That would have been a solid evidence. You simply can't claim that every security agency is compromised.. This is complicated

Yes, every security agency is compromised. They report directly to the Executive and they are not independent.

6. Avoid using 3G for normal browsing when in an area with good 2G reception. 3G should be reserved for streaming and downloading

Lmao. Not in Nigeria. You'll end being frustrated. The network providers here only provide 1/4 or 1/3 of the maximum speed of the network modes.

Born2smile:
Cool tip at no 2 there. However, I will watch to see if there is any improvement in battery life.
@others ICYDK, you can change this setting via the phone testing app. Dial *#*#4636#*#* to open it.

4. Set screen brightness to the barest minimum at night. It is good for both your eyes and battery life. I don't know about others but for me, reading mode is on 24/7.

5. Avoid using 4G for normal browsing when in an area with good 3G reception. 4G should be reserved for streaming and downloading.

Youngsage:
Wow really? Nice. Can you pls give a little review, how long have you had it, what's the bass like?
pics will be appreciated too.

Well, I've had it since April last year. The bass is actually good, the battery life is good and it is quite comfy. The connection range is good too. However, like other headsets without steel support, it can get broken if you're not careful enough, but it's still stronger than some other headsets without the steel frame/support.

Mine got broken on one side, but a little paper tape was enough to hold it together firmly.

I don't have a phone that can snap for now, so no pictures.

Youngsage:
Guys I want to get a headset but can't seem to make a decision. Which is better or does anyone have any experience with the following

Ausdom m09
Baseus enkok d02
Mpow h7

cc gptech

noobody protein0 everybody

I have the Ausdom m09 and it's a very good one.

Mfunkynation:
hello famz....
hope Fantacy store is good n will ship out immediately?

If they have in stock, I guess so. It took them exactly 1 week to ship out my order.

Lost my phone today.

So I have to wait eagerly for the delivery of my RN7, hopefully before Wednesday. Can't afford to stay too long without a smartphone.

DesChyko:
And I thought this was the first time Atiku was a presidential candidate of any party.
Well, El Rufau would know better.

He contested for the Presidency under Action Congress in 2007.

klexycole:
I posted those pictures because I wanted to make a point. Before anyone can degrade a phone's camera, they should be sure they know the comprehensive settings of the said camera.

How many phone users know about ISO, Aperture, Dynamic Range, and more? Some can't even do the basic settings, yet they will be quick to flaw their camera.

Apparently, these same pictures I shot with the R5+ are marginally (if you know, you know) better than some pictures taken on the note 5 or RN6. Reason? I know my camera more than then do.

Sometimes, it's not all about the lens, but the skills and efforts put into taking a shot. I've seen people complaining about the camera on the iPhone X , what would you call that?

God bless you for educating them boss.

You're a pro shooter na. Most people just use basic settings to shoot, including me. It's only when I have time to play around that I adjust those settings.

I'm sure if a pro user handles the RN7 with apps like Open Camera, Camera FV-5 and DSLR Camera Pro that allows for manual settings, we'll be able to see some stunning pictures.

Firstly, I think the default shooter settings on the RN7 is 12MP. You have to enter the pro settings to change to 48MP.

Secondly, the 48MP is mainly there for lossless zooming. It means that if you shoot in 12MP mode and 48MP mode, they'll look similar. However, when you zoom in the pictures taken with the 48, you won't lose much detail.

Pauls0n:
Switched off my Umidigi one and plugged it to charge last night, the battery was 54%. Woke up this morning and the phone has refused to power on, only showing red indicator showing its charging but no display on the screen.
Any solution?

If it's possible for you to open up the phone, try and disconnect the battery connector from the motherboard and leave it for a few seconds. Reconnect the battery and try switching it on. It might work.

MetaPhysical:
The Constitution has many loopholes. Bright lawyers exploit the loopholes to win cases. A new loophole will come to play on April 23rd, don't fret.

Yes, I agree with you. I'm sure there'll be another spin to it. Till then, Acting CJN Tanko is a goner by April 23, if the CCT fails to convict CJN Onnoghen before then.

MetaPhysical:
Chapter VII, Part1, Section A, ,


230. (1) There shall be a Supreme Court of Nigeria.

(2) The Supreme Court of Nigeria shall consist of -
(a) the Chief Justice of Nigeria; and
(b) such number of Justices of the Supreme Court, not exceeding twenty-one, as may be prescribed by an Act of the National Assembly.

231. (1) The appointment of a person to the office of Chief Justice of Nigeria shall be made by the President on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council subject to confirmation of such appointment by the Senate.

(2) The appointment of a person to the office of a Justice of the Supreme Court shall be made by the President on the National Judicial Council subject to confirmation of such appointment by the senate.

(3) A person shall not be qualified to hold the office of Chief Justice of Nigeria or a Justice of the Supreme Court, unless he is qualified to practice as a legal practitioner in Nigeria and has been so qualified for a period of not less than fifteen years.

(4) If the office of Chief Justice of Nigeria is vacant or if the person holding the office is for any reason unable to perform the functions of the office, then until a person has been appointed to and has assumed the functions of that office, or until the person holding has resumed those functions, the President shall appoint the most senior Justice of the Supreme Court to perform those functions.

(5) Except on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council, an appointment pursuant to the provisions of subsection (4) of this section shall cease to have effect after the expiration of three months from the date of such appointment, and the President shall not re-appointment a person whose appointment has lapsed.

With regards to sub-section 5 above, let's wait till April 23. If the court continues to adjorn, it's the loss of the acting CJN.

Neednewphone:

BigBashiru:
The President is only one man. Is there herdsmen in Benue?

- There is a Benue Government House of Assembly and legislative arm - for example the legislative arm can pass a state Act for state police the Benue House of Assembly passes the law and its signed into law by the Governor and the Government recruits state policemen and herdsmen stops.

So the emphasis should be on State Governors not on Mr President. All a President can do is to advise a state Governor to do their jobs....

Oga, police force is exclusive to the Federal government. Unless the National Assembly passes a bill for the creation of state police by state governments and accented to by the President, no state can create it's own police.

tedimola:

How are you?

papiforreal:
Police should drag this court room. Common tooth-ache is what would stop you from attending court room?
Does the tooth-ache impaired his ability to talk or understand the charges against him?
Police should drag this thief to court even if he's on wheelchair.

While I believe the suspended CJN is not being entirely truthful, it's obvious you're ignorant about how toothache can be so excruciating.

Iamgrey5:
The results are very surprising, APC didn't win a single local government in Ibadan, the first time a governorship candidate will do such in Ibadan history.

It's because you're not in tune with what's happening in IB currently.

APC won only 5 LGAs. 4 in Ogbomosho (expectedly) and 1 in Oke Ogun (only 300+ margin).

Iamgrey5:
I was born at Ring road Adeoyo, I lived in estates in Adeoyo for over 45% of my life, My family have properties in Adeoyo/Oluyole/ Mobile very close to the local government office.


I know what I am talking about.


If Seyi wins, it will be very marginal not a very big margin.

Oga, how far na? Is this a wide margin or not?

Ibadan South West Result

18,183 apc

34,445 PDP

garfield1:
I know all those.by my calculations,cancelled votes is over 100,000.

Okay then, then you're probably right.

garfield1:
It will be.ganduje has won more local govts.i see it ending inconclusive.

But one doesn't have to win more local government to win. Winning criteria are:

1. Majority of the total votes cast.
2. Score 25% in at least 2/3 of all LGAs.

So how will it be declared inconclusive?
