She's a boring storyteller, her works don't command emotions like the writers the guy mentioned.

Best african playwright.
Prof wole is best african dramatist.

Unfortunately, after their set including jp Clark, ben okri, Amos tutuola, Cyprian ekwensu, and so many other, our generation have no brilliant writers to produce. Majorly because of our now useless educational system and eroding reading culture.
How do you mean “Ekwensu“? It's Cyprian Ekwensi.

Actually, I still prefer PES 2019 to 2018. I've sent you a friend request grin
Accepted. But I'm not sure if I'm ready to play you after seeing your squad and records! Lol. 3.7 squad strength.. Over 1000 matches.. wow..Looks like you play the thing daily.. My squad is just 2.5 with just 101 matches, and that's a child's play compared to what you've... I lost my previous data to GooglePlay Games.. Had to start from scratch again, I play like 2-3 times a week. Nonetheless I'll still play you! Holla @ me when you're ready... Maybe you can give me some hints on how you amassed such solid squad grin

I learnt that FIFA mobile's gameplay is rubbish. I've pitched my tent with PES 2019 Since September grin
FIFA is wack on android. PES is bae, especially the GLORIOUS commentary...but the 2019 version was rigged a lot to favour Com/AI. You hardly win a game in the "Super star" level. COM would score last gasp impossible goals just to win, plus it's very difficult to defend in the super star level even if you've world class defenders...The controls are a little tricky to maneuver. A lot of scripted stuffs. Just check their reviews on Playstore. Fans are really angry lol. Pes 2018 was way better... But you can't play it anymore. Konami found a ruthless way to force fans to upgrade thanks to their online/server strategies. Even if you download pes 2018 from 3rd party sites, you'll get a pop-up message telling you to upgrade once you open the game.
By the way, you can share your Konami ID so I can play you... Let's see what skills we've got.. grin

The PO always have my back... They even gather all my items and await my arrival. The store is saying it will get to me soon. That's just one of the 3 items I tried using small packet. One arrived after 50days. The other is still not here yet too. I was there on Friday to collect
8 items... The problem is not from the PO my brother... If it doesn't land, I just claim back my money and place it again using China post airmail or the regular standard shipping. That's why I don't always advice Small packet personally.
Very unfortunate, bro. Maybe I've always been lucky all this while...

are you saying I can ship with them without any story?
Well.. Read through the discussions from the last 2 pages of the thread and make your choice, bro. It's your choice to make. I personally have never experienced any issue with China Post Ordinary Small Packet.

It is not advisable for someone ordering for the first time to use china small packet and that is what we are trying to say here. What if the order doesn't arrive or are you telling me that all china small packet items will eventually land? My first experience with china small packet, the item landed after 6 months. I will never advise someone ordering for the first time to use it. Re the cost of shipping being higher than the item, this is where you have to search and search to get a better deal from another store that fits within your budget.
You've a point. He's a new user and it's probably better to play it safe. That said, it's still a matter of laying out the options for him and telling him what's involved in each of the options, and then allow him to make his choice. Not painting the shipping method black from the start. He could have a different "luck" like me.

I say let me try small packet after a while and I wasn't disappointed because I ordered for something since 24th of February as I am typing this, it has not arrived. The protection period was about to elapse and they increased it by another 30days without informing me. So I am waiting 19 or so more days to open dispute. Is that what I will advice a noob too use when placing an order? Of course not...
Sorry about that, man. Never experienced such. Are you sure it's not in the PO all this while? Have you checked? Some PO attendants hardly notify people.

Select shipping method, and choose between China post air registered mail or AliExpress Standard shipping whichever is cheaper. Don't use China small packet whatever it's not trackable. Click Apply

Then go over to colour, material or bundle options as the case maybe and select your choice. You can still choose your shipping method from here
What's with this "Don't use China Small Packet... Whatever that's not trackable"! You guys are making it look like a big deal. Last year alone, I ordered nine (9) items using China Post Ordinary Small Packet shipping, and I got each and every one of them in 3 weeks at most! I've made 3 this year already. It's all about choice. To me, it doesn't make sense if the cost of shipping an item is 200 - 2000 times higher than the cost of the item itself. Go for a different and and trackable method if you want to, but don't make it look like China Post Ordinary Small packet shipping (or anything untrackable) is a scam. They deliver... Besides you can always get your refund if for any reason, you didn't get your item.

Bro the state is not bad o. Infact Kano is among the Top 10 states if not among the Top 5 sef with a working government. Don't use a single failed organization, federal for that matter, to judge a whole big state like Kano. PO might be slow with their service but atleast they are still functioning. Have seen some other states and town report terrible things about their PO such as issue of stolen package or tampering with parcels. Explore my broda. Kano is great.
True tho.

You dey para gan. Tru they have a terrible service at the PO. Even this parcel I received today arrived there since last week thursday. I was thinking I will receive both my parcel but got only one. Have to wait for a text to receive the other only God knows when and they came at the same time. A staff there was showing me that they have many bags yet to be open as that was what I causing delay.

I have a payoneer card that arrived the Kano PO since January this year. Uptil this moment, 4 months now, they never text me for the package. Probably lost in their inventory.
The PO is a serious mess, truly. The whole experience made me appreciate my town's post office back home even more. Text or no text, they deliver your item to you the same day it arrived provided you came for it. Very scary to think that I've more 10 months to spend in this state. I've put off any form of online shopping for now.

Wow...thanks for the heads up, this does present a quagmire to those who stay in kano too like I do. Are you referring to the post office nearby MTN office opposite the railway?

Bro, finally I just got a text this afternoon and have received my package (Redmi Note 7) from kano post office... Paid just #100 to collect it... The case I ordered is still with them. Waiting for the text for that too.
Kano state postal service is probably one of the worst in the country. I'm not from Kano but I serve there currently. When your item gets to the PO, it takes them eternity to notify you - that's if they'll. Hey, even if your tracking app says your item is there, the PO will never make it available to you...They insist on sending you text first! How frustrating! To add insult to the injury, one of their attendants was proud enough to tell me they receive over 800 items daily but send just 150 texts daily...Crazy! Had a serious verbal war with them last month concerning my item which had been there for over a week with no notification whatsoever. Later got it tho. Here is a shocker guys; Kano state - the supposed "centre of commerce" have just one (1) functional post office serving the entire state. Just one! I know of a colleague who spent close to 2k on Tfare just to get to the PO! SMH

Over night is barely 8hrs, the instruction says no more than 12hrs.
Depends on when the phone was plugged...

Decided to go through Mi safety information today and came across this. Pretty sure most us have been defaulting that instruction... Those over-the-night charging...Could be why your battery's performance is on a steady decline.
I always unplug @ 100% tho..

No longer on AEX, reason being that they are still on Linux 3.10.xx while other have moved on to Linux 4.9.xx with some major performance gains. Still, it's still my favorite ROM and if then upstream their kernel to 4.9.xx I'm going back.

For now, I'm on SyberiaOS. Performance just too good compared to the ones I've tested. cool

EU Xiaomi ROM makes sense; got over 6hrs Sot for a 3400mah battery, no overheating associated with d likes of Havoc/Lineage Os, no bloatwares like d useless Google Duo, no adverts in Mi system apps, added Face ID and night mode, latest Android security patch 1st Feb (March update is out) etc....but still on Android 8 embarassed So so so sweet experience so far.
Tnx Reddington for showing us d way cheesy

I ran from Havoc OS 2.3 b4 it damaged my phone battery. I kept having high temperature like 40 degree Celsius with casual use like browsing, watching Utube videos, subway surf and also during charging
Excessive customization, in my opinion, is for folks who are still excited about Android & its customizability and are bent on exploring anything explorable. I tried out every customizable rom possible on my s4 back then, but these days, Customization hardly entice me. I stick with the most basic for daily driver... nothing fancy attached. Here's the hard truth guys (although I'm sure some of you already know) : the more customization, the more battery juice zapped. With each customization, you add another layer to your gpu, thereby putting pressure on the hardware components of your smartphone such as battery and chipsets... This inevitably leads to overheating. And it's no news that high temperatures are very bad for your battery - it degrades it over time. So guys, if you can, keep it as clean as possible. Customizations can be fun but don't over do it.
