NaijaTechGuy:
Some days ago, I decided to get a new phone and I had to choose between buying from Jumia or buying from a shop, I chose the latter as it was going to be more fun.

As a Techie, I'd say buying things from Aba is fun and interesting but you'll have to be really smart. I also had to choose between buying in the Market (Ariaria) or going into the main town. I didn't want a too expensive phone so I placed my budget between 30-40k.

I ended up taking a bus to St Michael's Road, Aba. I walked around the shops, bargaining and I noticed something quite common among the people selling the smartphones.

They always try to make you feel like an inferior device is good. My advice is " no matter what don't listen to them" . Buy what you want and leave.


Something really funny happened at the last shop I went to :
I initially requested for a phone with a battery capacity of 3000maH and above between 30-40k. They brought out an Infinix Note 2. Looking at the device, I was really happy but always remember - you don't judge a book by it's cover. I opened the back of the phone and checked the battery, 4040maH. (quite impressive )

I turned on the phone. The boot transition wasn't too smooth, it seemed like a fake Infinix phone but I decided to investigate thoroughly before concluding.


After the phone finished booting, I opened the app drawer and went through the system apps. The icons looked bigger and lacked quality, unlike the ones in most Infinix phones.I spotted something strange again - Tecno's Boom Player installed on an Infinix Phone. I was shocked. (Chai).


The next discovery gave me a massive blow. I checked the phone's RAM Capacity and to my greatest surprise it was just 218MB while on the pack it was 2GB. I was dumbfounded. At that moment, I realized that if I didn't know anything about smartphones, I would have just bought a fake phone for about 36k and later regret it .(In this recession, it's unfair
nah).

The same fake infinix device I dropped, an unsuspecting lady, unaware of my discovery picked it up and started asking about the price. I shook my head in pity. I always stay out of trouble so i couldn't tell her she was about to buy a fake phone in front of the shop owner.



I decided to overlook the battery capacity and get another phone. I looked around the shop and spotted a TECNO W4 with a 2500maH battery, I went through the phone and everything was okay. I paid for it and left. (I bought the phone for N32,000). On my way out of the shop a guy met me and asked if I wanted to install apps on the phone so I decided to play along.


I asked how much to install WhatsApp and Facebook. The guy told me N500. I laughed and told him not to worry, maybe next time. If only he knew what I was saying in my mind. (hehehe.. You don't know who you're talking to.)
I just took a bus home.


That was quite an adventure . If you're not smart you may end up with a fake phone.
Lesson - If you're not good in detecting good smartphones always go with someone who knows about it. All that glitters is not Gold.

you are just Lucky....!!!

GOD BE WITH HER

xtervaganza:
bro, why did you indulge yourself in such farce?




I wouldn't be found in a no sex relationship. When aye is not doing me

I can't do it again.... Cause when i tired it..... It wasn't favorable to me

Missmossy:
I can imagine you are not to blame. Sex doesn't mean commitment though i wonder when both became synonymous. The thing is very few people can give you the results you desire.

Exactly

Missmossy:
Naturally everything in life is about choices and in long run every of our choices would surely tell on our future. The significance of sexual purity cannot be overemphasized. Each person to his own decisions.

Its not by a man 's effort being chaste only God makes it possible, moreover we are all humans prone to sin. So that extra factor coupled with being determined and making your NO capital NO and your YES same too as i was taught in secondary school some years ago makes it work.

I'm not a pastor and i won't preach to anyone. I know whatever you sow that you shall reap it has been so right from the days of Adam and Eve.

Bonne nuit

mahma sometimes you don't need to blame us having sex ...things happen for a reason... i once dated a girl for 2yrs without sex.. she just left like that, i felt bad cause she wasted my time... i opt in for another 8months with another girl.. she got tired....and left.....( these gals left cause they have nothing to loose... after their promises oo....
when they know you av not had sex with them... they are just not committed.. meaning the can just decided to leave you anytime )

so i just stopped it.... so am i to blame

xtervaganza:
you have been dicked bro

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah hahahahh


seriously. ...it's all about experience.... i did no sex.. for 2yrs she left, another for 8 mnths she left.... i stopped.... oooo...

girls have really dealt with us with this no sex stuff. i don't just believe in it again!!!

.....CHANGE.. CAUSED ALL DIS!!!
