I actually thought they'd both fall for eachother like on fairy tales.
Now my fingers are pointing at Rachel.

Nice one, Franklin.

Nice one, Henry.
It looks solid but I dislike the spec.


C'mon checkout the resolution of an 80k phone, who does that in 2020?

Another flaw is the micro USB port...aarrrgh!


I'm only glad Tecno & Infinix have moved on from MTK6580

Poco M3 is farrr better (and cheaper).

Nice unboxing by the way.

George eyes glued to the iPad as he tapped tirelessly, the Sonic avatar gained so much speed, but each level of the game rendered such bizarre speed useless.
"This game is becoming tough" the six year old boy wondered. George being a handsome Yoruba boy with tribal took his mother's ATM imputed the necessary pin as the sonic Hedgehog game made the steps so easy for even a 6 year old nigeria kid with little financial knowledge.
It worked, the avatar gained more speed, the once tough level became an easy win, George tried it again and again and made his Avatar attained a god-like speed he was so proud of himself having upgraded his avatar to such level at the expense of 6 million naira.
Iya George checked her empty account and shouted "Mo GBE" her two hands on her head as she fell to the ground like mango tree. It wasn't actually her money but cooperative money. She rushed to the bank for an answer, the bank asked if she had a gaming addiction.
Iya George replied while narrowing eye eyes with her head protruding forward " addict-kini?" Then she thought of George. "Geooorge you have killed me, o to kpa mi aaaaahhh". All eyes were on her as she rushed home with a god-like speed like George's avatar....
. Hehe what a remix.

Who would you blame, Apple or the mum?
PhonesThis 6-year-old Racked Up $16,000 On Mom’s Credit Card Playing Video Games by Palmerbarry(op):
A six-year old child living in Wilton Connecticut by the
name of George Johnson is in some hot water with his
parents. During this past summer, Johnson quietly
amassed more than $16,000 in charges at the Apple
App Store for his favorite video game "Sonic Force."
George's mom Jessica, working as a real estate broker
out of her home, had no idea that her youngest son
was spending all of that money via her iPad. The story
was published on Sunday by the New York Post.

During July, George was buying add-on boosters
starting at $1.99 for red rings and $99.99 for gold
rings. These gave his character more speed and other
special advantages. His purchases were amounting to
hundreds of dollars at a time. On one occasion in July,
when her son was ringing up 25 charges adding up to
$2,500, Jessica was in the very next room unaware
that her son was using her money to pay for in-app
purchases. She did notice amounts like $601 and $562
disappearing from her Chase account, but she chalked
it up to fraud or a mistake and when she called the
bank to get to the bottom of the matter, she was
confused because the charges were not itemized. "The
way the charges get bundled made it almost impossible
[to figure out that] they were from a game," Jessica
said. The mother of the first grader said, "It’s like my
6-year-old was doing lines of cocaine — and doing
bigger and bigger hits."

Even when the total amount of money missing hit
$16,293.10 (N6,195,413), Mrs. Johnson still had no idea that her son
was responsible for the purloined funds. In October,
Chase told her that the charges were legitimate and
that she needed to contact Apple. When she got in
touch with Apple, they walked her through all of the
charges. When she saw the Sonic icon in the list, she
finally realized that George was the culprit.

She admitted she hadn’t put preventive settings on her
account, because she didn’t know about them.
“Obviously, if I had known there was a setting for that, I
wouldn’t have allowed my 6-year-old to run up nearly
$20,000 in charges for virtual gold rings,” said Jessica,
whose husband cares for the kids full-time.
“These games are designed to be completely predatory
and get kids to buy things. What grown-up would
spend $100 on a chest of virtual gold coins?”


“[Apple] said, ‘Tough.’ They told me that, because I
didn’t call within 60 days of the charges, that they
can’t do anything,” said Jessica. “The reason I didn’t
call within 60 days is because Chase told me it was
likely fraud — that PayPal and Apple.com are top fraud
charges.”

When Jessica explained to her son what he had done,
he promised to pay her back indicating that at his age,
the concept of money remains foreign to him. She had
to tell George that she doesn't know about Christmas
this year. One thing that she does believe is that Apple
is at fault. As Jessica pointed out, "My son didn’t
understand that the money was real. How could he?
He’s playing a cartoon game in a world that he knows
is not real. Why would the money be real to him? That
would require a big cognitive leap."

Her advice to other parents: “Check your security
settings. I’m appalled that this is even possible in these
games and that Apple devices are not pre-set to
prevent this.”
