The amount of your data Google has access to (and monetize) is mind boggling. They offer so many things for free, but none of them is really free.

That's why a blackberry is still the best device around. You don't need gmail and all the other processes, just own a Blackberry and the "Blackberry Protect" feature backs up contacts for you online either daily, weekly or monthly, hassle free! You don't even move a muscle for it to do that.

That Abiola Garden Bus Stop, along Ojota – Iyana-woro road
is as deadly as a Lion's den. I don't walk around there, I RUN!
I don't know what the Police are doing about the security situation
despite several complains of innocent and robbed citizens.

Op, thank God for your live
Police are not proactive in fighting crime.They either start arresting innocent citizens after the criminals have escaped.Or they are on the road demanding #50 bribe from commercial bus drivers.

Is it really safe to sync your personal data into your Gmail account?The way u.s govt pry on people's personal phones is scary.And these software developers are complicit.

The incident occurred at Abiola Garden Bus Stop, along Ojota – Iyana woro road. On alighting from the public bus I boarded, I sighted two young men dressed in black T-shirt. There was no trace of moonlight, the bus stop was lonely too. I had the premonition that the two young men hearts were as dangerous as their looks; In the process of wishing the thought away, my fear crystallized.

Husssh… Brandishing a sharp shining portable Cutlass… they said in a low but firm voice, “cooperate with us or get a merciless treatment” I held my two hands in the air for them to remove whatever they wanted from my pockets.

While the robbery lasted, my mind was fixed on the cutlass, just a month ago, a friend had narrated how he was robbed around Stadium Bus Stop Surulere, his phone, Ipad were stolen and he was cut on the face… I muttered in my heart… A cut from this weapon will not be a funny experience o, will they cut me… what part of my body will be affected… God save me o…
For a moment there, I thought you were Dean Koontz...

What's all this unnecessary story about? Download Brewster on Google play, create an account or login with your Facebook credentials, sync all contacts on your phone and you're done. Need your contacts on a new phone download the app, login and sync. Chikena..
Sorry about your phone though
Oga, with what do you download Brewster on Google play.....? can you do that without having a gmail account configured on your device? Moreover, your post will have made more meaning if you presented it as.....

Here is an alternative method: Download Brewster on Google play, create an account or login with your Facebook........ Civil use of words is a great skill to have.

If you are using an Android phone and you sync your device with your Gmail account then all your contacts will be stored in the cloud. If you change your device, and sign in with your Gmail account, all your contacts will appear without you taking any action as long as you have Internet connection.
