Banking apps still work
Nigerian banking apps dont search for root so they work. But most countries abroad dont. I stated that already.
PhonesRe: What Are The Pros And Cons Of Rooted Phones by PAQ(m):
Rooting makes you a SuperUser and removes all restrictions and the inbuilt security Android provides, its like removing all the margins and lines of an exercise book leaving you with plain white paper for you to scribble as you wish.

It comes with advantages & disadvantages but if you are not tech savvy, developer or mobile security expert its best to avoid rooting. A small mistake will render a rooted phone useless because all protections & restrictions are off cos you now have access to system files which you may not understand.

ADVANTAGES:
1. Full customisation; from boot screen to custom recovery to a custom rom and total redesign of your homescreen. If you dont understand the terminology i used then avoid rooting until well read!
2. Downgrade/upgrade Android Os or installing custom roms that add more functions and or tweaks.
3. Rooting will allow you alter or remove restrictions on some apps and also install some outdated/banned/region blocked apps.
4. It allows you to modify or instal modified/tweaked kernels and governors.
5. You can undervolt or overclock the processor of the phone. I undervolt to save battery life, then change governors. This was one of my major reasons for rooting back in the day when phones came with small batteries. To be honest most people dont need all that power in our phones that causes over heating and battery drain.
6. With rooting you can improve camera quality by installing third party cameras, google camera, or modify init.d scripts.
7. It allows for changing of imei, which is illegal and can send you to jail in some countries.

There are many other things rooting allows, although these days some of these things can be done without rooting but there is always a catch, were as rooting gives total freedom.

DISADVANTAGES
Disadvantages mostly affect noobs, people who lack the understanding of rooting cos it is highly technical.
1. It exposes you to malware and cyber intrusions because you have lifted all android restrictions and compromised the security model of Android. Rooted phones will no longer install official updates and security patches to keep your phone safe & secured.
But if you are rooted with Magisk and understand how to modify boot.img then there is a way of installing OTA.... I hope i havent lost you here?
2.You can mistakenly delete or tamper with system files thereby turning your device into a brick.
3. Banking apps abroad check for rooting and will not work on rooted phones as a security measure to protect users. Something our banking apps dont do but should. For you banking apps to work you must do some added stuff called "magisk hide" which is not a 💯 guarantee.
4. You can mistakenly wipe you system/os if you dont know what you are doing. There is also a way to reinstall.... If you know what you are doing.
5. It voids some warranties & return policies in some countries.

The 2 major disadvantages are the banking apps & exposure to security risks. The rest comes from mistakes and not enough knowledge on rooting.

Rooting and being a SuperUser is what makes Android fun, its not for everyone. If you dont want you can always unroot the phone back to stock.

Hope my explanation was easy to understand.

to some people the right leader is Tinubu and to some it is obi. So what’s your point ? We should all have the same right leader ? You may just be a dictator bro lol
You missed my point. Chose whoever you feel is the right leader, whats right for me may not be whats right for you or anyone else but let our right not be solely because we share same language or comes from thesame region. I did not put any names here, how does this sound as dictatorship?

In dictatorship you have no option/choices & no opinion.

While the beatings went on, fellow Nigerians, human beings stood and watched because it was not their sister or tribes person. They stood and allowed a woman, maybe someones wife, or mother get beaten to a pulp and dragged like a dog!

Nigerians, slowly loosing their sense of humanity.
PoliticsRe: Southwest Leaders Of Labor Party Speak After Decamping To APC by PAQ(m): 9:17am On Feb 14, 2023
Nigeria's problem lies in Tribalism & Religious sentiments. Even when its evident that our own is bringing us down, how has it favored the North or Nigeria at large?

Nigerians, wake up and choose the right leader. Let your conscience guide you and not the color of your skin, the language you speak or where you hail from.

FashionRe: Young Unclad Lady Goes Shopping (Photos) by PAQ(m): 10:20am On Feb 05, 2023
This is in South Africa. Cultural differences allow such to happen without much fuss. Nigerians always castigate, bring in religion and all manner of self righteousness but given the slightest opportunity we will do worse. We should accept that Africa is culturally diverse, whats morally accepted in one country is not in another.

In South Africa women may choose to go naked when celebrating their Zulu festival, the Zulu reed dance and other ritual rights. They dont look at nudity the way we do. Cultural differences will not allow our woman walk naked on any occasion.

APC's time is up.

There's a saying that goes like this: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me"

In 2015, APC fooled Nigerians and Nigerians suffered the consequences for 8 straight years.

Will Nigerians allow themselves to be fooled again on February 25th 2023?

👁👃👁
We were fooled twice from 2015 but we no just get shame!

Abeg this your saying get space for the third time? We may just remix this old saying into "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice, i no just get shame".
PoliticsRe: Bandit Leader, Kachalla Baleri, Flaunts Redesigned Naira Notes by PAQ(m): 8:59pm On Feb 02, 2023
Bandits roam the streets like you and me, use the ATM, POS, banks etc like everyone else. We could have queued with them, ate beside them, traded or even exchange pleasantries with them and not even know it.

So why do we think they will not have access to new notes? Anyone who thinks they only stay in the bushes never wake up.
PhonesRe: What Is It With Refurbished Phones? by PAQ(m): 8:44pm On Feb 02, 2023
Abroad phones are bought on contract for a year or two, while on contract when a new model comes out there is an option to return your old phone in exchange for the new model. The old phone will be valued and difference will be added to your new contract for the new model.

The shop, service provider or phone manufacturer that collected your old phone will then refurbish the phone (change screen, casing,battery etc) to a semi- new state and tag it refurbished. In cars you'll see in titles "Toyota Certified pre owned". They have standards to meet before tagging it refurbished and sold, its good to look out for a "certified refurbished" sticker to let you know it was tested and certified

Many of these phones are still like new because the previous owners used them for a couple months before upgrading while others are not. When going for refurbished always go for phones under one year.

These phones are sold both abroad & here. There is a difference between buying a refurbished, second hand and fake phone.

babasolution:
I have watched several videos of south Africa,it's not as beautiful as people tout it to be,Pretoria, durban and Capetown resemble Abuja,Johannesburg looks like Lagos,

Nigeria only needs more skyscrapers or high-rise buildings, the focus in Nigeria in bungalows and duplexes instead of high-rises makes Nigerian cities look low key.
South Africa is way more beautiful & way more advanced than Nigeria. When i mean way more i mean way more! They have slums just like everywhere else but we no reach.

You just need to travel and see for yourself.

RomanceRe: What's The Difference Between Having Sex And Love-making? by PAQ(m): 10:41pm On Jan 09, 2023
Having Sex is what it is "f**kng". Penetration without emotions, just to satisfy that sexual urge. When a man sleeps with a woman he has no feelings for, its just sex/f**kn. Vice versa. Lovers can also just have sex as well, in the form of a quickie, a sharp one

Love making on the other hand is a complex feeling, most times it involves kissing, touching & eye contacts. You can actually feel something different, a pleasing feeling that stays with you after orgasm. Most times after love making, the partners still cuddle each other, while after f**kn the man eye go clear and suddenly the babe wouldnt be looking sexually appealing for awhile. This can happen to women too.

Love making can also be one way, especially when one partner lusts over the other. He may have the feelings of making love while his partner will just feel f**kd!
Jobs/VacanciesRe: How Did You Cope In A New Job Where You Had No Experience? by PAQ(m): 10:45am On Jan 09, 2023
I just humbled myself and learnt from everyone, especially my juniors in rank & those there before me. What i didnt know i asked questions, some i googled. Humility made me friends with all and it made learning easier, the junior ranks know the job very well & will teach you what you need cos they know it will favor them having a friend who is a superior rank.

I never showed that i knew too much or too little until i was sure i had understood my duties fully, even then i still didnt show myself, only letting my work speak for itself. Naturally, as i mastered the job, everyone & everything fit into its place while keeping a cordial working relationship.

Same way calling a black man "NIGGA" or "BLACKY" is offensive in the west. We are as racist if not more than the whites. Even Albinos & very fair people are not spared our racist slurs & behaviours.

Yet na still us go join blacks in the west to say NO TO RACISM! SMH!
