in all. intel is okay for a regular nigerian, amd is cool for those that have air condition around them because if amd stays in high temperatures for a long time, it tends to malfunction

thanks.... But its not advicable to put ur system on the foam while usin it. Could block adequate vent consequentially boilin up rhe machine.

While the rest of the animals on this list could be described as either strange/cute or strange/scary, the axolotl is in a league of its own. Technically this creature is a member of the Mexican salamander family, but since it never fully matures, it is more like oversized tadpole. While all axolotls are strange in appearance, the leucistic axolotls, with their all white pigmentation and pink eyes, are particularly bizarre. At best they might resemble a slippery, mesmerizing, underwater Muppet. Axolots, in their natural habitat, can be found in the lakes around southern Mexico, particularly Lake Xochimilco just below Mexico city.

This long-nosed monkey, also commonly known as monyet belanda (Dutch monkey) is particularly interesting in appearance. It is endemic to the south-east island of Borneo, in Asia, and belongs to the monotypic genus Nasalis. According to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Endangered Species, the proboscis monkey is endangered and its total population has decreased by more than 50% in the last 40 years due to habitat loss and hunting.

The red panda looks like a mix between a panda bear and a racoon. These arboreal mammal is native to the eastern Himalayas and Southwestern China. It is related to racoons, weasels and skunks is slightly larger than an average house cat. It is also recognized by its waddling walk due to its front set of leg being short than the back.

The emperor tamarin is an equally amusing creature. For the most part, the emperor is just a typical small-sized, black monkey that enjoys swinging from tree tops and eating plants. It also, however, happens to have a giant white curly moustache, making it a dead-ringer for German Emperor Wilhemm II. What was first a comical nickname is now the animal’s official scientific title. The emperor tamarin is native to the rain forests of Peru and Bolivia

While the sloth may have a perpetual grin, the nocturnal aye-aye has a permanent look of shock. In addition, this member of the lemur family possesses exceptionally long and spindly fingers, with which it forages for insects nested away in the tree trunks. The cartoonish aye-aye can be only be found Madagascar, the massive island off the eastern coast of Africa, known for its unique ecosystem.

The sloth is the only animal to have one of the Seven Deadly Sins named after it. While there are several members of the sloth family, as a whole, the species are known for being lazy and excruciatingly slow. To quote the 1997 Encyclopedia of Mammals, “[the sloth's] top speed is a dismal 1.2 mph.” Aside from a lack of speed, these animals also have faces that seem to be permanently contorted into a silly grin. The majority of sloths can be found in Central and South American jungles, particularly Ecuador and Costa Rica.

Animal diversity on planet Earth is truly amazing. Aside from domesticated pets, however, the most-commonly thought of creatures are typically those known for their size, speed, or fierceness. There is another category, however, of mostly unknown animals whose sole commonality is simply their strangeness. Although beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, the uniqueness of these creatures is difficult to argue. Since people travel the world to taste bizarre foods and experience exotic climates, why not arrange an itinerary around the world’s 7 strangest animals in their natural habitat?

Phones › Reasons Not To Buy A Tecno Android Smartphone by paranorman(op): 5:24pm On Nov 22, 2013

Hello y'all.

Went through a thread on FP 'bout google's andriod, must confess 'tis really cool; especially for the 'non-phone geeks.' some of y'all wouldnt want to take this thread personally- thats an advice. This might come in handy for those of us that pay attention to lil detail and specs; d real 'phone geeks.' ....some of y'all already know this anyway. Here we go:

You ought to be living on planet Mercury if you haven’t heard of the most popular low end smartphone rave in Nigeria and other emerging economy.

I am referring to the techno android phone popularly referred to as chinko phone in some quarters touted as a stunning cheaper low end android phone, the reviews and patronage from users in general have been quite impressive and positive.

So positive that, I had made up my mind to continue to patronize the brand for as long it exist. But ever since my first and second experience with the techno android phone, i have come to realize it’s not what I actually needed due to some of it shortcomings.

Techno N3 and other subsequent techno android phones may have sold millions of units in Nigeria alone, enticed many users who probably are using Android phones for the first time, but common on believe it or not, Techno android phones are not the best android phone brand for you ,so I will be detailing you withfew reasons why you should not buy techno phonesinspite of its low price.

1. OTA UPGRADE

Presently,techno phones lack lacks OTA updates for their Android phones and therefore lack the ability to upgrade the inbuilt operating system .

If there are major bugs in the Operating system, Tecno most probably has no way of fixing that for the masses ’cause it can’t deploy OTA fix updates.

One is stuck on Android 4.1 Jellybean and thus should not dream of ever getting version 4.2 or 5 (Key Lime Pie) on the device
For folks who cant do without rooting, flashing and tweaking their android devices, they stand the risk of bricking their device and having to pay Tecno to fix it for them. (Rooting a device in almost 100% of cases voids your warranty with that manufacturer) .

2. LOW QUALITY BATTERY

the kind of battery that is befitting of multitasking smartphone such as android phone should be such that can withstand the multitasking capabilities,but unfortunately,techno ANDROID has failed woefully in that aspect.
If you are the type that play games and browse a lot am sure you won’t want to buy a phone that has a weak battery like blackberry.From personal experience,it seems the battery strength of some of the first tecno android running on lower android has a better battery coare to the likes of .So if you are a phone addict you can not do without his or her phone for some minutes,then tecno android phone is actually not for you

3. SIMILARITY OF PRODUCT

Do i need to write much on this? i guess no,if you know tecno andriod phones very well,you will agree with me that virtually of of their new releases are all the same with virtually no improvement.The only difference is just the name and little difference in the built.So why would you waste your money buying a brand that care less users satisfaction?

4. Some Other reasons

You expect to get other genuine reasons not to buy a techno android phone from me?,i think i have said t all,so its over to you now.Go ahead ans share your thought,why you won’t advise one to get a techno android phone and other experiences you have had with the tecno brand of product

Disclaimer
The content of this post is only the writer’s own opinion and does not reflect the opinion of the general techno users.So atteackers take note.

Doubt if this will make FP.
its kinda an 'anti-techno' thread. Hehehehe. Y'all know what i'm talkin 'bout, dont y'all?

dude, i got ur point. They arent actually behind the animals in the pursuit. No way they could have outran those 'machine on four runners'. Lemme remind ya, they are crude; classic africans with animal trackin skiils, they are 'wild' and natural in their physiology. Civilization and technolgical developments has taken this ability from most of us.

[quote author=Okija_juju][b]Any woman whose 'foremost asset' is her physical beauty is doomed.. grin

Every woman wants to date a man that and fend and provide for her, TRUE!! Same way every man wants to truly be able to fend for and his family.. #Sadly, LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS AS WE WOULD LIKE IT TO BE...

Why most women in the past married Warriors was not necessarily for the protection, but also for the perks that came with marrying a Warrior. Warriors were like the Generals of those days. They enjoyed special previledges that commoners didnt.

You keep focusing on 'Broke'.. A wise woman focuses on potentials, not actual. A wealthy man does not automatically translate into a good relationship.. ASK SOON TO BE EX-FIRST LADY OF ENUGU.. MRS CHIME!!!
True happiness does not lie in wealth alone.. Focusing on wealth at the expense of other more important attributes would be a colossal mistake, ,just as a man focusing on Physical beauty at the expense of other more important attributes is tantamount to suicide.

Its indeed true that the natural law of attraction in place todays is;

Men want Pretty Women.
Women want Rich men.

Ever wondered why divorce rate today is astronomically high?!

Sadly, both wealth & Beauty are attributes that change with time and not always for the better..

Broke guys can aspire for anything.. But my advice to them is rather than daydream of landing a Kim.. Daydream of making money and creating their own Kims.. [/b][/quote]today ehn, ur posts make sense sha...! I like ur objectivity in this arguement..

[quote author=Okija_juju]So its okay for a guy to date a broke chick, but not vice versa...

Here is my take;

Life is full of hypocrisy, that’s why my motto in life is live life as best as you know how to.

Many people have come out with the saying 'Love has nothing to do with age or class', I guess they have never heard seen this post.
Like someone here asked, how does one judge their size in matters of the heart? I will take it further; can one comfortably predict their future sizes?! So let’s say that a guy later becomes filthy rich and the fortunes of his wife or partner goes down, can he dump her and go find a partner that fits into his current size?!

I grew up with the mentality that Money and material things were never part of the fundamentals of a relationship. I always thought that the pillar of every relationship was mutual love, respect and understanding. Sizes change. The street kid of today can become the president of tomorrow, ask Jonathan the shoeless son of a Bayelsa fisherman. My father is another classic example. Grew with nothing, struggled through school, met a woman whose class was out of his league. Infact, I learnt that my maternal grandfather refered to him as a ‘Pauper’ and was against the marriage. Infact, at their traditional wedding, My grandfather repaid my father all the money he spent saying ‘He would need it to feed his stupid daughter’. I learnt a few wealthy Igbo Business men were lining up for my mum then. After their traditional wedding, they both retired to the village. My mum told me of the first time my Grandfather came to see her at my Paternal grandfathers house, that he stopped his car at the entrance to the compound and wouldn’t enter because they were too poor for his taste. Infact he brought a bus load of foodstuff for my parents after he saw the state they were living in (with me just being born then). Today!! My mums younger brother who use to call my father my his first name now calls him ‘Uncle’. This same Grandfather called my father and apologised to him blaming it on his foolish pride.
In issues of the heart, I do not believe in ‘cutting coats to size’.

I know of a case where an Onitsha trader married this very beautiful Girl that he met as an under graduate. Her parents also resisted calling her husband a common trader. Her friends still tease her about her husbands ‘localness’, but the one undeniable fact that none of them can dispute is that the man adores and cherishes his wife more than anything in the world. The chick is living la vida loca.

To each his own... Note that the coat wey size you today, fit no be your size tomorrow..

_{Please guys, keep hustling hard.. If you are to take anything away from this thread, it would be to keep improving on yourself. Keep trying to 'upgrade your coat size & fabric quality"... Not for women, but for yourself.}[/quote]you burst my head with this post sha. Remain blessed, my brother from another mother!

dBard: I ve never really been a fan of d 'cut ur coat according to ur size' rule in dating..cos in d first place how do u determine wat ur size is in matters of the heart?
Will her looks, dressing, class etc determine how good a person she'll be. Besides, none of these tins we use as temps are of our doing but we were just priviledged to b born wit such looks, that class of family etc.
I do not believe these should be used as a criteria to determine who u date because stories do change; d poor gets weathy, an ugly guy before becomes attractive, class changes..these are too variable quantities to b used as criterias.
It is imperative everyone develops themselves so as to be able t bring something t d table..n they should be judged based on that.
Are u going to leave a good, intelligent man that can make u happy but is a carpenter cos that is his chosen vocation just cos of class n all ??
Ur happiness in life is far more important for such..

Ur happiness in life is far more important..

A word t d guys..if u aain't bringing nothing t d table then stay outside wit d oda riffraffs.donot try t pull a goodvwoman down.
Am out

again, you speak my mind. Thumbs up for ya!

ogugua88: My mother and I had this discussion just yesterday. I showed her a picture of a guy that was trying to get close to my sister and I. Her response? "Some guys don't date within their caliber." I was telling her, if I were a man, I'd evaluate myself inside and out and toast accordingly, for the girl I want should have no reason to reject me. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the guys who bash Naija women in this section are the lacking guys going for Kim Ks.

I've always wanted to open a thread for women to share their toasting experiences (but I haven't because I already know the result of such a thread). The kind of offers some of us get are ridiculous, and we're still made out to be witches. If I tell you I was asked out on a date by a homeless man at a train station, who would believe me? Yet it's true lol.

That's always been my motto anyway. If you want the best, then be the best and attract the best. A guy who is seriously trying to get a woman should give her no reason to say no. You don't have to be wealthy or even handsome. Just carry yourself well. If you're lacking in some areas, then make up for it elsewhere. You're not handsome? Then be compassionate. You don't have a job? Then put your skills to work and tell her your plans. No man or woman is without a flaw. Any man who puts his best foot forward can get the woman he desires. After all his attempts, if she says no, then the man isn't the problem.

Your post is a breath of fresh air, DN. Well done.

you wrote it all babe. I tripped for this. Oya, will you marry me?!
