by far Samsung is better than iPhone but for Nigerians especially middle class and below, Samsung is expensive to maintain and too delicate. for example if d screen got broken, money for repair is enough for new phone.

You are correct about the Samsung screen issue, both that's when you break it and such doesn't happen with careful handling. Every phone has its demerits if a particular function or part gets damaged.

But for this particular discourse we are making a comparison between S9 plus and iPhone X, and I take it your first statement does justice to your take on the matter.

my bro even camon cm is better than that crap called eye fone

grin Bro please let's not go there, you know a Camon CM can't be compared to an iPhone in general specs. Maybe I would say in price fairness you enjoy more with a Camon CM.

But I have seen someone with an iphone 7 plus of over 170,000k getting shocked how a 55k Camon CX camera beat his phone in terms of picture quality, I saw the pictures myself.

Note, I'm not comparing a Camon CX generally to an iPhone 7 plus though, just the picture quality which I saw, even the IPhone 7 plus user confirmed the Camon CX Picture superiority.

Back to the matter at hand, the comparison is between Galaxy S9 Plus and iPhone X. So lets roll on that.
Phones / Apple Iphone X Vs Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus Comparison by princechrming(m): 4:23pm On Mar 24, 2018
Hello tech savvy people. Lets do a fast comparison between the two latest flagships of the two highest selling phone companies in the world; Apple and Samsung.

For Apple it's: iPhone X
For Samsung it's: Galaxy S9 (Plus)

COMPARISON:

Display quality:
Galaxy S9-1440 x 2960 pixels
Apple X- 1125 x 2436 pixels

Camera:
Galaxy S9- 12mp back/ 8mp front
Apple X- 12mp back/ 7mp front

Battery:
Galaxy S9- 3500mAh
Apple X- 2716mAh

CPU speed:
Galaxy S9- 2.7 GHz x 4 cores
Apple X- 2.3 GHz x 2 cores

RAM:
Galaxy S9- 6GB
Apple X- 3GB

Water proof range:
Galaxy S9- 1.5 meter depth
Apple X- 1.0 meter depth

3.55mm headphone Jack:
Galaxy S9- Yes
Apple X- None

Internal storage (ROM) highest:
Galaxy S9- 256GB
Apple X- 256GB

So looking at this, based on functionality and specs which stands out more? Clearly Samsung is the boss here, the only reason I can state why iPhone users especially here in Nigeria buy iPhones is to keep up with the façade that rich people use iPhones. Some folks even empty their little savings just to get it and "feel among."

Please iPhone users, do you guys have any other FACTS to justify why you buy an iPhone over a Samsung?

In my opinion Samsung phones should be way more expensive, but I get it that Apple was successful in including iPhone into the American dream philosophy and hence why the Americans buy it over other brands, but here in Nigeria, please apart from the rich façade iPhone supposedly comes with, what specs/functions of the iphone is so stunning over other brands that make iPhone users spend more money to acquire the device.

Let the discourse begin!

Business / Re: You Are Being Cheated If You Are Still Using Western Union, See Why by princechrming(m): 3:14pm On Nov 30, 2016
princechrming:
For those who have business to do with receiving money from foreign countries, Western Union has always been the name to trust but recently i found out that using WU is crap!

I felt utterly gutted when i calculated the huge amount of money i had lost in exchange rates receiving money through WU and i felt i must share with fellow Nairalanders.

Find pictures below of the exchange rates for three money transfer platforms (Azimo, MoneyGram and Western Union) for 1,000 GB Pounds to be sent to Nigeria. Receiving money with WU sets you back at over N80,000 as compared to Azimo and MoneyGram.

Here are a few pros of all the transfer platforms:

Azimo- The money is sent directly to your Nigerian bank account within minutes. You also pay no sending fee.

MoneyGram- Its sending fees are the lowest in the industry, you can pay just about 26 GB Pounds to send 1,000 GB Pounds to Nigeria.

Western Union- You can receive your money from the comfort of your phone/computer. You just log into QuickTeller website and input your WU details and bank details and the money is deposited in your account, you don't need to go to the bank anymore, except you just wanna go there so you can impress that beautiful teller lady you are asking out at the bank grin

That said, Western Union is the least platfrom to consider anymore if you wanna receive money from foreign countries.

Phones / Blackberry Launches Blackberry DTEK60 - A Beast Of An Android Phone by princechrming(m): 2:33pm On Oct 04, 2016
We all know Blackberry already has two Android phones in the market, the Priv and DTEK50, the Priv has all the specs needed for a successful Android phone but its way too expensive for the average budget, the DTEK60 is an upgrade to the DTEK50, its more pocket friendly compared to the start off price of the Priv and its got all the needed attributes to win a bout in bragging rights among the very top phones. Its a beautiful beast! Pardon my use of that oxymoron grin

SPECS:
-OS - Android OS, v6.0 (Marshmallow)
-Chipset - Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 820
-CPU - Quad-core (2x2.15 GHz Kryo & 2x1.6 GHz Kryo)
-32 GB ROM, 4 GB RAM
-Camera - 21 MP, f/2.0, phase detection autofocus, dual-LED (dual tone) flash
Secondary Camera - 8 MP, f/2.2, 1080p
Video - 2160p@30fps
-Scratch-resistant glass, oleophobic coating
-Fingerprint sensor
-Li-Ion 3000 mAh battery

Blackberry has the best phone security in the market and added with specs like these above i see this phone becoming a favourite. And that camera is something else special, when Blackberry offers a 21 MP camera you know what that means, even the likes of the old Bold 9790 with a 5 MP has a digital zoom picture quality which plenty high end phones lack.

Celebrities / See The Top Class Of Famous And Successful Celebrities Born In March by princechrming(m): 4:21pm On Mar 30, 2016
Hello March babies, today is the penultimate day in March. Over the years, I have eidetically kept record of famous and successful people I know of who are born in March and below is a comprehensive list I made. I think other months need something like this as well here on Nairaland, so, April born babies, yours is next.

Before I go on, I'd like to tell you more about people born in march. I'm not really much of a zodiac sign person but I can't help but agree that most of the said traits, behavioural patterns and tendencies stated by zodiac sign astrologers concerning people born in March relate to me to a large extent and a lot of other March born family members and friends I know.

According to www.thefamouspeople.com, "A person born in the month of March is usually characterized by an attractive personality. Affection and charisma are the qualities which are often associated with people born in the month of March.

They are very compassionate and love to serve others, if given their due respect. Honesty and reliability are among the
various virtues possessed by individuals born in this month. While most of them are born under the zodiac sign Pisces, they are many others who are born on the Pisces/Aries cusp. Pisceans can be described as romantic, sensitive, emotional, honest and sympathetic. Generally, they are selfless and very generous. Artistic by nature, Pisceans are attracted to beautiful things.

They are imaginative and intuitive and are good in the field of art. Considered to be the most romantic zodiac sign, Pisceans are great lovers. They are the ‘givers’, in their relationship and do everything that would fascinate their partners. They remain secondary in their relationships and do not mind their spouse/partners’ dominance.

They are most sensitive and intuitive of all the zodiac signs. They adapt to their surroundings very easily. People who are born in the month of March and are Pisceans tend to live in two worlds – the real and the mystical. They do so to evade the pain and the suffering of the real world and sneak into an imaginary world of their own."

Without further ado, find below the class of famous people born in March. Mind you, all are living except Albert Eiensten, pardon me, I have to include him, he was and is too much of a global phenomenon to be left out of the March born people cheesy

Education / A Dozen Words That Even The Most Educated Nigerians Use Or Interpret Wrongly by princechrming(m): 1:30pm On Sep 01, 2015
I'm no grammar purist but over the years, my avidity for words and lexical profundity had ignited a proclivity for grammar correctness in me. These words/idioms which I will be talking about have been erroneously used even on national media platforms and among the average educated Nigerian who uses/interprets such words wrongly countless times.

Some of these lexical misinterpretation are egregious grammatical blunders, some are a case of solecism and I could call some a case of neologism. But why such neologism can't be accepted is because "Nigerian English" has yet to be upgraded to ranks of other recognised versions and dialects of English like American, British, Australian or New Zealand English.

I know English language isn't out mother tongue but for the fact that its the most recognised language in the world and also our lingua franca we ought to speak and interpret it correctly. I remember back then as a fresh graduate done with my compulsory one year national service (NYSC), I went for an interview and unconsciously educated my interviewers about a word. During the interview I kept on pronouncing the word "debt" in its correct pronunciation of /dɛt/ and the "b" being totally silent which sounds like how we Nigerians erroneously pronounce the word "death" directly as "det" rather than /dɛθ/, the Human Resources Manager - Dr. Sylvester stopped me at some point to express his confusion at me and inquired why I was using the word "death" in my speech. I then said- "Oh, sorry sir, I meant D-E-B-T (spelling it out verbally) but the "b" is totally silent in its correct pronunciation, we Nigerians pronounce it wrongly most times voicing out the "b" in that word".
He felt quite embarrassed and he asked the next interviewer to continue with me and I saw him put his face down looking into his laptop, most definitely trying to confirm my claim by referring to his Encarta Dictionary on his laptop. Well, I still got the job and Dr. Sylvester told me later on that apart from other factors, he approved me for the job because of my ability to educate him on a word which he was totally oblivious to despite his decades of erudition.

In order not to bore you guys with more prolegomenon, I'd dive straight into the matter at hand, find below 12 of these words/idioms we use or interpret wrongly.



1. Yesteryears - This word has no plural form. Its always used as "yesteryear" be it in singular or plural form. I'm sure this error came about because of the word "nowadays" which is antithetical to "yesteryear". I have an uncle who back then would always castigate us by saying- "All these children of nowadays, if you all were to use our school curriculum of 'yesteryears' you all would fail". He is so lucky I didn't know what I know now back then, I would have corrected him immediately! cheesy
A correct example of its use is; "Songs of 'yesteryear' are better lyrically than songs of nowadays"


2. Chanced - Countless times, I hear things like- "I won't be chanced to see you later on this evening", and the interlocutor meant he/she will not be free to see me in the evening, meaning he would be busy or occupied. That's wrong grammar! The word "chance" or chanced" as a verb has two meanings, namely;
1- "to risk", for example- "I'll chance the worst happening",
2- "to happen by chance", for example- "I chanced to catch sight of her as she passed.
So desist from using "chanced" to refer to being "not busy" or "free". Instead you can say "I don't have free time in the evening for us to meet" or "I can't see you in the evening because I don't have time to spare" or simply say "I'll be busy in the evening, so we can't meet"


3. Lousy - "Jane is such a lousy girl, she talks too much like a running tap!" Have you ever heard a derogatory statement like that before? I'm sure you have. The word "lousy" here is mostly misinterpreted by Nigerians to mean "talkative and noisy" or "loud and arrogant in talking". We tend to relate the word "lousy" to "loud".

Lousy simple means "unpleasant, "inferior or bad" or "provided with an excess amount (of)".
Examples of correct use include: "That's a lousy thing to do", "This is a lousy film, its production is too poor", "He's lousy with money."


4. "Sendforth" instead of "Sendoff" - I'm sure you have seen a lot of invitations for "sendforth" parties in the past. Well, there is no word as "sendforth" in the dictionary. The correct word is "sendoff" which is "a demonstration of good wishes to a person about to set off on a journey, career, etc"


5. Severally Nigerians misinterpret and wrongly use this word to mean "several times" or "a lot of times". You would hear someone say- "Rita has warned her severally but she won't listen". That's very wrong!
The word "severally" is an adverb which means "separately", " individually" or "distinctly".
A correct use can be- "Please after you wash the clothes, spread them severally on the rope", which implies you want the clothes to be dried individually on the rope.


6. Birds of the same feathers flock together - This is a very popular idiomatic blunder used by Nigerians. The correct idiom is "Birds of A FEATHER flock together" and not "Birds of THE SAME FEATHERS flock together"


7. Opportune(d) - You'd hair someone say something like "I wasn't opportuned to be born with a silver spoon" to refer to the fact that he didn't "have the opportunity" or "privilege" to be born into wealth. That's utterly erroneous! Because, "opportune" means "occurring at a time that is suitable or well-timed".
A correct example of its use: "she has been waiting for the opportune moment to tell him she wants a break up." Here is another correct example: "I'm waiting for the opportune moment to propose to my darling Rita"


8. Impeach - In Nigeria, you'd hear statements like this- "The president must be impeached whether he likes it or not!". And what they mean is that the president should be removed from office.
Politically, "impeach" means "to charge a public official with an offence committed in office" It doesn't ultimately mean removing the official from office, just as being charge to court for an alleged offence doesn't guarantee the defendant would be jailed as a result.
For example, if an average Nigerian hears the statement- "President Bill Clinton of the USA was impeached in 1998", he/she would interpret it that Bill Clinton was removed from office. But that's not the case, Bill Clinton was impeached but wasn't removed from office, he served his full presidential term, impeachment here meant he was charged to court for an alleged offence of purgery (which was related to alleged sexual relations with a white house staff) but he was later acquitted and proven innocent, and he went on to complete his full presidential tenure.
So, the word "impeach" doesn't ultimately mean to remove a politician from office.


9. "Stay clear" instead of "Steer clear" - This idiomatic plunder doesn't need much explanation. Its an error of using "stay" instead of "steer", maybe because both words are closely related in pronunciation. Please mind this error in your oral and written English.
So next time you wanna sternly warn that boss at work flirting with your office girlfriend, tell him- "Hey Mr. Managing Director, you better 'steer' clear of Rita my girlfriend or else...". (Please do it at your own risk o! Your sack letter might just be his reply to you) cheesy


10. Sentiment - During arguments, its common to hear things like- "Don't bring in sentiments into this, let's be truthful and factual" or "Can we just be objective in this country and cast sentiments aside?"
The average Nigeria interprets the word "sentiment" to mean "being bias", exhibiting prejudice or the opposite of objectivity. Quite wrong!
Below are meanings of the word sentiment:
1- "an opinion or thought"
2- "prone to tender, delicate or romantic emotion"
3- "a feeling, emotion or awareness"
4- "fake or excessive show of emotion"
Below are examples of correct use of the word "sentiment":
- "My sentiment(my opinion) concerning this issue is that we wait to see what happens first before we take any action.
- "She has too much sentiment to be successful in this industry, it will not favour her. (Meaning she is too soft or fragile emotionally to cope in such an industry)
- "A sentiment of pity" (Meaning a feeling or emotion of pity)
- "She went sentimental and started crying immediately I told her I was breaking up with her when I caught her cheating"

That said, let's stop using the word "sentiment" to represent "bias" or "prejudice", instead, you can say- "Please put aside all prejudice or bias so we can analyse this issue thoroughly" or just say- "Do away with your subjective views and try to be objective for once"


10. Instalmentally - We Nigerians invented this word from the word "instalment" to mean something divided for payment at specified intervals over a fixed period. But there is no adverb like this in the dictionary. Instead of saying "I will pay you instalmentally" rather say "I will pay you in instalments"


11. Go-slow - Nigerian use this word to refer to a traffic jam, but the word "Go-slow" or "Slowdown" for US English refers to "an occasion when employees work more slowly and with less effort than usual to try to make an employer to agree to pay them higher wages or give them better working conditions". So next time say "I'm in a traffic jam" rather than say "I'm in a go-slow"


12. Barb - I'm sure when an average Nigerian man wants to go cut his hair, he would say- "I want to barb my hair" right?
The word "barb" is a multifarious word but NONE of its meanings has anything to do with the act of cutting/trimming hair.
The word "barber" is a noun used to refer to someone whose business is cutting men's hair and shaving or trimming beads, but also, the word "barber" is a verb as well which means "to cut the hair of" or "to shave or trim the beard of".
For example, you can say- "Can you barber me now?" (Meaning: "can you cut/trim my hair now?"wink Another example is- "I want to barber my hair". Sounds funny right? Yes it does but its correct grammar.


Note - This article is in no way trying to ridicule or pillory Nigerians as a result our lexical inadequacies but to help further enlighten one another's word base and understanding.

Happy first of September Nigeria! I wish us all a fruitful and safe last quarter of the year!

Romance / Re: Reason Why Ladies Hate Each Other by princechrming(m): 12:26pm On May 04, 2015
That's why you'd rarely see a lady who has kept a friend from teenage age to full fledge adulthood, the case is however different for the male folk, I'm still friends with most of the dudes I grew up with right from primary school, except for those who we have lost contact.

I wonder why this form of jaundiced demeanour exist among ladies that much...

Health / 10 Common Bad Habits That Cause Kidney Failure/damage by princechrming(m): 2:31pm On Jan 19, 2015
My posting this was necessitated as a result of the death of Nollywood actor Muna Obiekwe. May his soul rest in peace, Amen.

When lalasticlala posted news of his death yesterday and stated the cause of death as kidney failure I was shocked and decided to look into the cause of kidney failure, I was indeed enlightened about kidney disease. I found out a lot , but most surprising were habits that most Nigerians engage in which could cause kidney damage.

I know most folks on Nairaland hate lengthy epistles which may be boring to read so I'll briefly list those bad habits here, for a more detailed explanation you can find the URL links at the bottom of my post.

1. Delayed emptying of your bladder -Retaining urine in your bladder for a long time on a daily basis when pressed is a very bad idea. Long-term full bladder is easy to cause the bladder damage. That the urine stays at bladder for a long time can cause the bacteria breeding easily, once the urine refluxes back to ureter and kidneys, the toxic
substance cam result in the kidney infections, then urinary tract infection, and then nephritis, even Uremia. So when nature calls, answer it without delay.

2. Consuming too much salt - No more than 5.8 grams of salt should be eaten daily, so take it easy with that salt shaker.

3. Consuming too much meat - According to Harvard University, too much protein in your diet can harm the kidneys. The by product of protein digestion is
ammonia – a toxin your hard-working kidneys need to neutralize. More protein means more effort for the kidneys, which can, over time, lead to decreased function.

4. Consuming too much caffeine - We often consume more caffeine than we think we do. Caffeine is in many soft drinks and sodas, and before you know it, your blood pressure goes through the roof and your kidneys start complaining. Take it easy on the likes of Fanta, Coke, 7Up, Fayrouz, etc

5. Not drinking enough water – Our kidneys need to get properly hydrated to perform their functions. If we don’t drink enough, the toxins can start accumulating in the blood, as there isn’t enough fluid
to drain them through the kidneys. Drink about 12 glasses of water a day. An easy way to see if you’re drinking enough is to check the colour of your urine. The lighter in colour, the better.

6. Improper and untimely treatment of infections - Treat infections properly and on time and complete medication dosage.

7. Pain-killer abuse - Taking excessive amounts of analgesics to relive pain is a no no!

8. Too much alcohol consumption - The toxins found in alcohol not only damage the liver, but also your kidneys. According to Kidney Health Australia and American Kidney Fund, one way to avoid kidney disease is to drink alcohol in moderation.

9. Smoking -Smoking has been linked to arthrosclerosis. The narrowing and hardening of blood vessels affects the blood supply to all vital organs, including the kidneys. According to the study published in Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics,
two cigarettes a day are enough to double the number of endothelial cells present in your blood. This is a signal of arterial damage. Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology cites many
different studies conducted since 2003 which all link smoking to decreased kidney function.

10. Lack of exercise - Exercise is another good way to protect your kidneys. A large study published in 2013 in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology suggested that postmenopausal women who
exercised had 31% lower risk of developing kidney stones. Generally speaking, maintaining a healthy weight will reduce your chances of kidney stones, so get moving.

And the ever arrogant Mourinho thought he could equal Arsenal's 49 games unbeated run.

Mourinho be humble enough to go and ask Arsene Wenger how he did it so you can learn.
