Dear my fellow Nigerian, A directive has been sent out by the Nigerian Communication Commission(NCC) to all telecommunication network in Nigeria. This will result in increase of data rates which will take effect from 1st of December, 2016. I am very sure your service provider has notified you about this development already. In this year and time we live in, Data is suppose to be more affordable and not more expensive. And looking at the ease/advantages the internet has added to our everyday life, increment of data rates will only make it harder to access the internet thereby taking us backwards instead of forward. Therefore, In disagreement with this move by NCC and telecommunication companies, we have made an effort stop this from taking effect by creating an online petition at Change.org and we need you to sign it to show your support. The link to the petition is: https://www.change.org/p/nigeria-communication-commission-ncc-data-plans-rates-by-carriers-in-nigeria-should-not-be-increased-by-ncc?recruiter=642402116&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink Please I already believe you would sign this petition to show your support for us and against NCC. But you also have to share/re-broadcast this message to as many people as you can. Thank you as you do so. |

Phones / Re: What Is The Origin Of Black Friday Sales? by PhonePlanet(m): 2:08pm On Nov 27, 2016 |
For centuries, the adjective "black" has been applied to days upon which calamities occurred. Many events have been described as "Black Friday", although the most significant such event in American History was the Panic of 1869, which occurred when financiers Jay Gould and James Fisk took advantage of their connections with the Grant Administration in an attempt to corner the gold market. When President Grant learned of this manipulation, he ordered the treasury to release a large supply of gold, which halted the run and caused prices to drop by eighteen percent. Fortunes were made and lost in a single day, and the president's own brother-in-law, Abel Corbin, was ruined. The earliest known use of "Black Friday" to refer to the day after Thanksgiving occurs in the journal, Factory Management and Maintenance, for November 1951, and again in 1952. Here it referred to the practice of workers calling in sick on the day after Thanksgiving, in order to have a four-day weekend. However, this use does not appear to have caught on. Around the same time, the terms "Black Friday" and "Black Saturday" came to be used by the police in Philadelphia and Rochester to describe the crowds and traffic congestion accompanying the start of the Christmas shopping season. In 1961, the city and merchants of Philadelphia attempted to improve conditions, and a public relations expert recommended rebranding the days, "Big Friday" and "Big Saturday"; but these terms were quickly forgotten.[8][9][64][65] Use of the phrase spread slowly, first appearing in The New York Times on November 29, 1975, in which it still refers specifically to "the busiest shopping and traffic day of the year" in Philadelphia. Although it soon became more widespread, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported in 1985 that retailers in Cincinnati and Los Angeles were still unaware of the term.[66] As the phrase gained national attention in the early 1980s, merchants objecting to the use of a derisive term to refer to one of the most important shopping days of the year suggested an alternative derivation: that retailers traditionally operated at a financial loss for most of the year (January through November) and made their profit during the holiday season, beginning on the day after Thanksgiving.[8] When this would be recorded in the financial records, once-common accounting practices would use red ink to show negative amounts and black ink to show positive amounts. Black Friday, under this theory, is the beginning of the period when retailers would no longer be "in the red", instead taking in the year's profits.[8][66][67] The earliest known published reference to this explanation occurs in the Philadelphia Inquirer for November 28, 1981.[68] In 2013, an internet rumor alleged that the phrase originated in the American south before the Civil War, from the practice of selling slaves on the day after Thanksgiving. This was debunked by Snopes.com in 2015.[64] Although the concept of a national day of thanksgiving originated in the time of George Washington, it was not until 1863 that President Lincoln declared an annual holiday to be celebrated on the last Thursday (now the fourth Thursday) in November; and this proclamation would have been ignored in the Confederacy until after the Civil War.[69] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_(shopping) |

Literature / Chimamanda Adichie Comments Are Racial In My Opinion by PhonePlanet(m): 8:31pm On Nov 15, 2016 |
Good day, deviating away from phones a little. I read the tread on mrrights accusing Chimamanda Adichie to be racist here Well........ After reading her statement, even before reading mrrights completely, I understood what he meant. But alot of people had hard times really understanding. I honestly think the comments she made were in fact racial. Tho this does not exactly say that she is a racist. I would explain... According to advanced English dictionary: Racism is: 1. the prejudice that members of one race are intrinsically superior to members of other races 2. discriminatory or abusive behaviour towards members of another race According to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary: Racism is: 1. The unfair treatment of people who belong to a different race; violent behaviour towards them. 2. The belief that some races of people are better than others. It's necessary we understand what Racism is, if you asked an average man what racism is, he might say "believing a race is superior to others" but racism is actually more of an "act" than "believing" that act/verb is called discrimination. again because the definition stated above does not say "when whites discriminates blacks" it purely says "one race to another race" The point I'm trying to bring out here is black people are not and cannot be the only victim of racism. If a white man is treated badly in the midst of black simply because he is white, the man is a victim of racism. And I hope you understand this. Tho the scenario I cited is very unlikely to happen because majority of racist cases are by whites in their country. At least this is the common belief. But still does not change the fact that it is possible for a white man to be a victim of racism. You have never heard of one does not change the fact too. So Chimamanda Adichie statement and all those in support of it saying a white man cannot define what racism is only true if in fact the white man (in this case Mr. Emmett) has really never been a victim of racism before. And whether he has or has not been, you sitting in your house or office or school cannot tell. Even chimamanda cannot tell. Let's do some logic. Read carefully. Let's assume he hasn't. Now we Nigerians are black. Someone like me(which should also be the case with most of you reading this) who was born in Nigeria, grew up with my own race(black), have black people around, never lived with a white or any other race. I have never experienced racism before first hand. If this is the same case with you, then we as well have not right to define it. But if we should also be sited in the BBC studio, we will be given the right (with chimamanda rule) to define racism because we are blacks. And Mr. Emmett cannot. Because he is white? If you claim he has not experienced it before, then so are we, and if another black man can be given the right to define racism because he is black, this is an unfair treatment to the white man because both the white and the black man are equal In this case and going by the first definition of racism according to oxford, This is in fact racism! And if you agree that chimamanda statement was being racial then you can as well say that Mr. Emmett was a victim of racism. Which goes back to my point of white people too can also be a victim of racism which shows that even if chimamanda never said that statement, there could possibly be a point in life where Mr. Emmett has been a victim of racism. Now let's assume he has, that's makes him equal to chimamanda, because he has indeed experienced it and knows what it is to be a victim of racism, and can define it, so again saying he should not speak on it just because he is white is a rude, abusive, and violent behaviour towards him because of his race which again defines racism. So I believe the right statement Chimamanda was supposed to make is "if you have never been a victim of Racism, then you have no right to define racism" The example cited by many on men, women pregnancy, is just irrelevant because a man can never be pregnant. So men actually can't define the pain gone through and we don’t want to either. And it's not like it is evil or can be stopped or avoided. It just don’t no fit into racism. The example of tribalism. I think anybody that exhibit tribalism can be a racist. Because people who are racist descriminate blacks who they look at as all Africans, so a role of where they are from play in racism, which is also tribalism, discrimination of people because of where they are from. But I don't want to conclude that she is a racist. That depends on your individual opinion. One thing I know is when you speak rudely to someone, the person might be hurt and any opportunity the person has to return the favour to you, the person will, Unless the person is kind hearted. But this might not mean the person is rude. Speaking of chimamanda who has been a victim or racism clearly, speaking out that way to the white man may just be an outburst of what she had gone through. If it was only that once, or she apologised, then she might not be a racist. But if she really meant it and its something she lives with and does everyday, then she is a racist. Whether she is or not. I can't tell. 1 Like |
